More bombings and more murders in Bill Thompson's "best governed city in the world.” The federal grand jury is about to start an investigation. Good, isn't it? We . don't see just how Mayor Thompson can hang the bombings now occuring in Chicago on to King George, but we wouldn't be surprised if he tried to. Property owners on Nutt man avenue are wise to take advantage of the present opportunity to secure a real street, the full width of the distance between curbs. They have petitioned to continue the street so it will extend all the way across, the additional feet being charged to the real estate. Get rid of the dead limbs and branches which were torn down during last week's sleet storm. Not to do so is a detriment to your property and an eye-sore to the appearance of the city. Its not much of a job, once you get at it. Many have already cleaned up and the others should do so at once. Remus says he is through with bootlegging and will devote his time to strengthening up an estate of millions secured by his wholesale operations in the illegal liquor business. He is writing a book, the story of his life, which he expects to be one of the big sellers, another chapter we presume of "Our changing world." Senator Fess, of Ohio, is to make they keynote speech at the republican national convention which makes it quite probable that nothing in the way of criticism for the Coolidge administration will be uttered. The Ohio senator is about the warmest admirer Mr. Coolidge has in the senate or out of it for that matter. The first week of May will be the annual clean-up season in Decatur when city trucks will haul away the tin cans and other debris, provided you have placed same in barrels or boxes so they can be hauled with ease anti speed. You have four weeks to get ready for the event which is of sufficient importance to have your cooperation. * Co.'t Lindbergh got into an airplane and flew off into the Santa Barbara wild lands of California where he can rest to bis heart's content, without being bothered by crowds of worshipers, the telephone bell or even the mail carriers. Less than a year ago Lindy could have <ione this easily, but now he is entirely too popular to rest except by actually hiding from the public. Pet haps Lindy is just taking a litt 'j time off to fix up his schedule for that trip around tire world. When the youngster starts on that journex you may rest assured he will not only know where he is going and how, but be will know more about the prevailing winds, weather conditions and everything else than most any one else in the world. Thats why he succeeds, he is smart, If you get a thrill out of politics there is no reason in the world why you should not be wel.j entertained

this yenr. The primaries are on now with about every kind of a scrap you ever heard, some entirely new angles. These will be followed by the state and national conventions and then a '. red-hot contest next autumn. Its 1 getting a little warmer each day with no sign of a let-up. Babe Ruth has hit his first home- , run of the season, this important ) event occuring in an exhibition game 1 against Chattanooga, indicting that ’ the old boy will continue to be a tirst- ; class attraction during the 1928 1 season. At that the Yanks will have ’ to get themselves together for the Lookouts beat them any way and they lost eleven of their fourteen workout games. , The death of the Honorable Chaun- • cey M. Depew, famous capitalist, railroad owner, statesman and citizen removes a character in American industrial and civic history rarely if ever equalled. Almost ninety-four years of age he has year after year proven by his own example that work does not kill. He has a wonderful record and was on,e of the greatest men in the world in a number of ways. • Four dirty citizens were brought before Judge Arthur, of Ixtgansport, the other day, charged with being public nuisances. The judge after hearing the evidence decided they were very much as charged, fined them ten dollars each but suspended the sentences on promises from the men that they would use soap regularly. That's something new but quite right. There may be excuses for being poor but none in the world tor being continuously and habitually dirty. The monopoly on rubber, planned by British capitalists and supported by their government for six years has failed and announcement has been made that the restriction wij end next November Ist. Just when they thought they had the world market "sewed up.” resourceful Americans worked out a plan to reclaim rubber. The market went steadily down to the detriment of every one concerned and the collapse came yesterday when Prime Minister Baldwin announced in the house of commons that the Stevenson scheme would be abandoned. The reformatory at Pend'eton I seems to be one of the few concerns in the state which is doing a very thriving business. Built to house 1,054 prisoners they now have over 2,000 and at the rate of the past few months will soon have the men packed in like sardines. One of the troubles is that many of the men sent there prefer it to hustling for p living. In other words its not punishment. They have their concerts, baseball and basketball, marble bath tubs and a lot of conveniences found only
