Tile week of April 30th is the occasion for the annual clean-up of the city and to successfully carry that out, we must be ready for the city forces. A Los Angeles court has decided that when the wife insists on driving and her husband makes love to a woman in the back seat of the car, its not grounds for a divorce. That may be alright but don't be too jubilant men. Remember that most cases of that kind never get to court. The death of Edward M. Statler brings out the career of another American who started at the bottom and climbed to the top. He began as a clerk in a little hotel and closed his career as the largest individual owner of hotels in the world. He operated a string of Statler hotels as wellknown as they were excellent and built a fortune sufficient for a thousand men to live on easily. Nuttman avenue is to be paved its entire width, the property owners and the city joining with the township and thus providing another approach to the city that will add to the mprovement of the city as well as to every property which fronts thereon. Speaking of streets, this city has them, unexcelled by any city of six thousand in the land, a fact that we may well feel proud of and do. A city is like an individual. It either recedes or goes forward and we are glad when any thing is done which marks a step ahead. Colonel Lindbergh has plenty of l-raise for the aviators who piloted tlie Bremen across the Atlantic and tile colonel knows whereof he speaks for his wonderful flight has never yet been equalled. He is still the only ; man who started on one side of the ocean for a given destination and teached the spot lie headed tor. That | takes nothing away from the other brave fliers for there can be no doubt that the trip westward is more difficult than that from this continent to Europe. The information furnished by the German-Irish crew should be helpful to those who are devoting their time and effort to the scientific development of aviation. Tlie Indianapolis Star declares that Senator Watson and others who are letting on that they arc so terribly inteiested in the farmer and who are “yammering up and down the state, telling how they love tile farmer and have tried to get him some relief," are not fooling any one and the Star is right about that. They have been able to fool a lot of people on the tariff question in the past and think the same kind of ‘apple sauce” will work on this furm relief proposition but they will find tl a much different problem. The average person thinks more of tlie law- maker who is .honest in his opinions than he does of the one who is just trying to “kill" them. The administration at. Washington has worked itself into the “nine hole" and don't know how to crawl out. The president is opposed to the flood relief measure and the farm relief bill as passed and will no doubt "sock" them wit It his vetoes. When he does that he antagonizes the Mississippi

The congressmen and sen-| ators are playing politics and are not trying to cooperate with the president and his cabinet. Some of them mean it and some of them are bluff ing but any way they are fn a bad old hole and in the meantime the campaign approaches. It makes it hard to guess as to results. The petition for daylight saving in Decatur was tabled by the city council but it has not yet been decided that the matter will be definitely put up to the voters on May Sth in connection with the primary. There seems to be some doubt as to the legality of such a proceeding but similar action to be taken in Fort Wayne where the approval of the electon commissioners has been secured. Each spring the question bobs up and causes some dissatisfaction. It seems to us to be a matter that ought to be determined by the ma-1 jority and one upon which a refer- 1 enduni would be fair to every one concerned. If that can be held in connection with the primary it would . save the costs “of an election and yet definitely close the question. I The Elks at last night s meeting . voted support of the American Legion I plan to build a public playground, ■ properly supervised where the youngsters may enjoy'baseball, tennis, football and outdoor sports. Recently the Rotary club took similar action ; 1 i and other organizations we know will , be glad to assist in this progressive 1 movement. A year ago considerable effort was made along this line but > interest seems to have lagged. We | are sure a little effort right now | would help it along and that after it I 1 has reached a point of interest it , could be turned over to the pity as a public park. Nothing is more important than providing wholesome play grounds for the youngsters. It will solve many problems and -be better for every one. A “reader" takes exceptions to the killing _of stray dogs and urges a dog pound on the theory that it is crttel Io kill them. Most every one likes dogs in their proper places but that is certainly not running wild. The police do not kill dogs unless they know they are not being taken care of and there is nothing much more dangerous than a lot of canines rutting loose, uncared for and unfed. Yesterday in Indianapolis eight people were bitten by one mad dog and as tlie spring and summer advances there is grave danger of repetition of such accidents over the state. For several yeats there has been an epidemic of rabbles in the state and it is but wisdom to protect the people by disposing of stray dogs after notice has been given to owners as has been done here. A dog pound may be alright hut we haven’t one and in the meantime something has to be done to protect the people of the community, to say nothing of the gardens and the lawns. o-— — -— ♦ ¥ ¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥♦ * TWENTY YEARS AGO * ♦ * * From the Deily Democrat File * * Twenty Years Ago Today * *¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥*¥¥* April 19. 1908. was Sunday. — « fiet the Habit —Trade at Home, it Pays . •

Otherwise, The Outing Was A Splendid Success Hammond. Ind . Apr. 19. —(INS) Here is a tough luck tish story told by two i Lake county anglers. M. C. Brown and V. Hilton Fall went fishing In Cedar Lake. Arriving at Moody pier they cast and tish ed lint got no bites. "What do you say about renting a boat and going out into the middle of the lake?" Brown asked. Fall agreed j to the suggestion. About 1(H) yards out In tho lake the boat began to leak. Both men began to bail and discovered that by bailing at top speed only could they keep even witli the inrushing water. After what seemed hours of bailing the wind drifted them near the short and they got out. They decided to try fishing from the pier once more. Bui in trying to arrange himself beside Fall. Brown slipped and fell backwards into the water. Brown suggested going home. When they reached their automobile they discovered it had a flat tire. As a climax to the series of misfortunes
