Mussolini wants to rule Italy, it is announced. We thought he was doing it all but drawing the salary. He might grant that privilege to King Victor Emmanuel, since he doesn't need it. The flowers that bloom in the spring —tra, lat—but why bring that up just now when there is a month for them to appear? Os course the freeze of the past few days probably didn't do them any good, but better now than later. Bill Rogers who has just completed' a tour of Indiaua. taking a straw vote each evening at his performance, says “I had a mighty hard time scaring up any Jim Watson sentiment here in his own state. I can hardly understand Jim running." Well, neither can Jim. A twenty-four foot snow down in Chile buried two hundred people and twenty thousand animals, according to news dispatches from Santiago. Thats some snow and ought to make the northwest United States quit bragging for a while about tlTCir kji or eight feet. Leo Nixon, of Indiana, has been appointed sergeant at arms for the Kansas City convention and the LaFayette Journal and Courier says that will make it easy for Hoosiefs who wish to gain admission to the hall and haven't a ticket. "Just ask for Lee and tell him you're a Hoosier. He'll be tickled pink to see you and get you a stage seat, and an ice cream cone.” The Indiana organization of the G. O. P. does not favor Robinson or Schortemeier but they don't seem to be able to get the machinery to operate disastrously against these two exponents of the Jackson policies. The senator and the secretary of state have a powerful organization and it looks like it will be able to stand all the broadsides in the primary. The only way to unseat them will probably be to defeat them next November. There are a lot of people who apparently don't give a hang whether they live or die. F. I’. Young, an English airplane designer, recently advertised in the London Mail for a man or woman to accompany him on a flight from London to New York in July, received more than four hundred applications, eighty of them from women. Its likely now that the Bremen crew came so near doing it, Young will receive a thousand more. The Indianapolis council, completely renovatejj with the exception of two democrats. Bob Springsteen and Ed Kaub, seems now to be complete and ready for business. Five republicans and four democrats make up the board, all of them high grade citizens who should do much towards providing the kind of an administration that city deserves. Six of the old council were indicted for bribery and the first one to come to trial, 13. J. Moore, was convicted Saturday. Arthur Gilliom, attorney general and a candidate for the republican nominal icn for United States senator will speak in Berne, his old home town,

tonight. The meeting, widely advertised, will be well attended and of interest. The attacks of the attorney genera) against the Anti-Saloon League and the klan hae made a . division in the ranks of his political 1 party, winning him admirers but at the stame time driving away many who : would have ordinarily and did four j years ago, support him. > ' ■ ■■ ■ | Forty or more people met death at I a midnight dance in a hall at West ’ Plains, Missouri, and those who do i not favor such affairs at any time I will assume this is a punishment 1 which is a far fetched attitude. Any way it is regrettable and if caused by some fanatic as there seems to be some indications, will rank as one of the worst crimes of tha decade. There should be a rigid investigation and prompt punishment of the offender , or offenders If there be such for whether we agree with the ideas of others or not. we certainly cannot approve of such a method of eradication. Col. James Fitmaurice declares that no plane should attempt to cross the Atlantic with less than enough gas for sixty hours in the air, a radio and three motors, and he knows as much about it no doubt as any living man. The experience of Fitzmaurice and his two companions who recently made the first trans-Atlantic trip westward should be of inestimable value to the science of ocean flying Snow and ice bound off Labrador, their arrival in this country will be anxiously awaited by millions of people who are desirous of hearing their complete story. Senator James E. Watson opened his campaign for the presidency, or rather his speaking campaign, with an address to his old friendo and neighbors at Winchester. Saturday. It was a Watson address, without new declarations and with a renewal of j his faith in the old policy. He made ' no mention of his opponents and devoted his attention to the tariff, foreign relations, farm and flood relief, the Monroe doctrine and a few subjects of that kind which seemed to j please those who heard him. After a short tour of the state he will return to Washington but expects to come back to Indiana before primary day for another whirl at the voters. The folly of special and local legislation is well illustrated in the law passed by the 1927 legislature requiring a bridge to be built across the Ohio river near Evansville. It will cost close to $3,000,000 and will be entirely on Kentucky soil as a change in the course of the river years ago gave to Kentucky at that point the land on both sides the river. Half the cost of the bridge is to be paid by the highway commission, a fourth by Vanderburgh county and the other fourth from the general fund of the state treasury. Toll is to be charged until Vanderburg county and the state treasury are repaid, but hie highway commission is never to be repaid. Kentucky does not pay a dollar of the cost, although it will get equal benefits from the bridge. The legislature could just as well order a stretch of road or a big bridge built in any other county of the state that could muster enough votes in the senate and house to log roll the billWe doubt if the courts would sustain the legality of the act it it were tested,—Newcastle Times. — — ■ -o — High School Boy Killed In Auto Wreck, Richmond, Ind., April 16— (U.R) — 1 Preparations for a play to be given by pupils of Centerville high school ended in tragedy near here.

ADOPTS COVERALLS AS PULPIT ATTIRE Henderson, la.. —(U.R) —There was no fashion parade on Easter Sunday at the Christian church here. As a rebuke to those members of his congregation who consider Easter Sunday as primarily a day to “dress up,” the Rev. D. G. Noland appeared in the pulpit in coveralls, and a large group of his sympathizers were in overalls. Noland said he had heard of a number of people who did not attend church because they could not afford to keep up their appearances to the "church standard." "I know good men he said, "who feel that our present day churches are on dress parade. If my clothes keep men away from church, I shall wear plain clothes" Recently Noland' and his close followers have been appearing at Sunday services in overalls, and the congregation has shown a healthy growth. This will be continued, the pastor said adding: ‘‘l want the working people to know my church and 1 are one of them. I do not want one of them to miss the blessings of Christianity because he feels he cannot dress as some people. I am sure the clothes do not make the man. I waut to know about his heart." Noland was ordained by Dr. R. H. Miller, pastor of Independence Boulevard Christian church, Kansas City, and is a former Drake University student. He has been in evangelistic work and since has become a "sick church" doctor. He is closing his third term of work in Henderson. * TWENTY YEARS AGO * * « ¥ From the Dally Democrat File ¥ ¥ Twenty Years Ago Today ¥ «¥¥¥¥*¥¥*«*»* April 16—Bourke Cochran's bill iu congress to build a macadam road aciass the United States and electric ft, is laughted and ridiculed out of congress.
