With nineteen candidates for gov- * ernor, six for senator and the presi- ' £ dential scrap we wonder why we t haven't heard of any managers for Adams county. _ s Will Rogers says he has been prowl- € ing around among the fanners and ’ that they have about given up hope of getting farm relief and have de- 1 g titled to fertilize instead. c .Just a casual glance at the Fort Wayne News-Sentinel might lead 1 some folks to believe that some one s there is for Hoover but surely not e with James Watson, for so many a years the idol of every republican, *’ opposing the secretary of commerce. ' ■■noun < 1 Willie Hays is not adding anything I to the "say some thing good about r Indiana" campaign with his testi- t mony. Facts are most any one would s guess be belonged to the Hoosier G. a O. I’, after reading his evidence of i how slick he worked things when he v was national chairman. a 1 It is said that four hundred babies in New York City alone, have been J named Charles Lindbergh, which is r alright for if Lindy goes wrong or \ gets himself nominated on the oppo- c sition ticket some day they can just c drop the Lindbergh anti let it go |, Charles L. r t If Mr. Will Hays would put on a screen show of the actual gathering a of funds for the national committee, dodging the law and trying to escape a from the Walsh committee, it would ( be funnier than any thing ever put a over by his Hollywood stars and a ought to draw well for the box oftices. o n One man in ten is said to be out ii of employment in this country and yet we are to have a campaign based , upon the prospeiity of the very rich. g Thats probably alright but a thous- } and men should not be able to con- A vince the four million who are idle 1 and the other millions who are work- * ing but finding the "picking" rather slim. W’e ought to stop our joking. > >. If you want to hear a real political , speech the inside dope is that you , should listen to Fred Landis of Logansport some evening. Fred is a ' I republican and will probably not get j any farther than the "also ran” class i but he can make a speech that puts ( any of the boys tn the race to shame. His talks arc good to listen to and , he is any thing but a coward. He < tells many truths and lets the chips ( fall where they will. Remember when your pa used to take you over to the little red school house and tell the teacher that if you didn't behave he could go as far as he liked? A Missouri school master licked one ot his boys and the court has just awarded the youngster $1,500 damages. Its probable the boy reully owed the teacher for trying to make a man of him but things are so.different these days, we don't know what to think. Fred Si'hortemeier is the heir apparent to the throne of Ed Jackson. That is, he should be according to the plans made some two or three years ago. He has the license

bureaus in each county, the state police and a complete organization and then he is one of those in the state house now. Whatever else the people of Indiana do, its a rather safe guess that they won't continue the present outfit If they do they will deserve four years more of the same political salad. Just what will be done about raising funds for an Old Home Week was not definitely decided at last nights meeting of the finance committee, but they will make further efforts and hope to yet be able to arouse interest. In the meantime why don't you join the club! In case the event is not given your check or money will be returned and your joining may cause some one else to. We still feel that the ideal way to raise the funds for such an event is by this means, thus distributing the expense but evidently too many prefer to be solicited. "Fences" organized along highly efficient business lines, dispose annually of loot valued at $500,000,000, according to Newton D. Baker, chairman of the National Crime Commission. .Mr. Baker, who was formerly secretary of war. made public this estimate of annual losses from thefts . in a statement announcing the introduction in congress of a bill designed to stop the activities of receivers of stolen goods. Concerning the work of the committee, Mr Baker says: "This committee, with the advice of ' men whp have given much previous ' study to the question, has made an exhaustive survey of the situation, and from the statements of public prosecutors, chiefs of police and bus- , iness firms throughout the country, is convinced that the claim that losses from this source amount to , more than $500,000,000 yearly, is more than justified." Mr. Baker's report 1 shows that the solitary burglar is disappearing, and that his place is be- • ing'taken by criminals well organized who make thefts of merchandise on a large scale. He expresses the belief that commercially organized thieves would dissolve their bauds ‘ over night, if their “fences,” their market or outlet, were eliminated. With such tremendous thefts, burglarly and robbery insurance is being called upon to protect the public from losses which, in the aggregate, are running well up toward the total of lhe annual destruction caused by fire in this nation. The casualty insurance companies are stepping into the breach to repay much of the disastrous loss caused by robbery, but they must have public cooperation along lines of crime prevention, just as must fire insurance companies have similar cooperation along lines of fire prevention, if this terrific annual drai non the country's resources is to be checked or reduced.
