Some fellow over in Germany has been sentenced to 211 years at hard labor in prison. Os course the first 1 hundred will be the hardest. It never was truer than now with the primary but ten days away that its a wise candidate who knows his own friends. Strange, but true, if a fellows bank ‘ account is O. K., he thinks the gov-. eminent is, but when he’s in the red ink. every thing is wrong. The men are pikers when it comes | to spending money according to the United States commerce department who have figured it out that the women do four-fifth of all the buying in this country. Jesse Eschbach, of Fort Wayne, who is a candidate for the republican nomination for governor says he will not make a campaign for the office but expects to cut quite a figure in Che convention. So do the nine others in that race, we presume. ■ Legion Memorial park in the south part of the city will soon be one of the very attractive spots of this community. Under direction of the city forces, the drives and walks arc being completed and it is being trans- i posed into a garden spot. Edsel Fqrd claims that the airplane of today is so perfect that it will support itself in the air. Maybe, but we are afraid he would have a hard time convincing the friends of the twenty- i six who have lost their lives the past year in trying to fly the Atlantic that planes are indefinitely self support I Ing. After hearing the story of Walb, ! Daugherty, McCray, Fall, Vare, Smith and a few other business men who went in for politics and seem to have considered it. a tool to be used to their personal gain, wo don't wonder I why the people feel they prefer officials who place the needs and desires of the people ahead of personal I gratification. Mayor Gcake has signed the daylight saving bill at Fort Wayne, which means the new- time for five months ! each year, unless there is a decided vote against it in the primary and the council reconsiders their action. That® what Mr. Gcake says he has I in writing from a majority of the 1 members of the council. The ord insure goes into effect at midnight Saturday. Now, honestly, ir; Il Watson the i wet or Watson the dry, Watson the [ friend of Stephenson or Watson the i foe of the klan. Watson the guardian : of the easterner or Watson the pro- j lector of the farmer, Watson the j state.man or Watson the politician, you are for? The willy boy has been on so many sides of every thing that tends to make or unmake votes that we are just curious to know where you stand and why and how. Evidence in the Walb and Weaver trial at Fort Wayne indicates that the former state chairman of the publican party was not ouc given to hesitate because a deal was a little shady. And just two short years ago

I bo was crying that a great int«rnat- ’ tonal trust was trying to control things In Indiana and during the past year made a lecture tour, using the subject, "say something good of Indiana." A lot of chickens are finally coming home to roost Next Monday the big and important job of cleaning up the city begins. On that morning the trucks and the stgeet commissioner’s force, with I Amos Fisher in charge will start hauling away tho cans and the debris which has been piled in boxes and barrels in the alleys. It will require several days but its worth it for it chaaiges the appearance of the city, provided every one cooperates by getting ready. Remember they can’t go. back after they have once made the trip down your alley. Be ready for them. Robert Stewart, chairman of the Indiana Standard Oil company, came through clean when he did start. He admits that ho was offered about eight hundred thousand dollars of the nowfamous Continental Trading deal and was told he was to be “cut in" on a one-fourth split on the profits. Mr. Rockefeller, Jr., must have talked to the gentleman who appeared before the committee yesterday in an entirely different frame of mind than when he was previously called. Then he acted as though he ought to guard his secrets with his life but now he speaks as one who has “seen the light." Twenty people have been bitten bydogs in the city of Indianapolis within the past two weeks and as a result a war upon stray dogs has been ’ started there which is expected to terminate the lives of ten thousand canines. To those who love any old dog this may seem cruel but when ! you realize that the rabies has be- j come a very serious thing to combat ' you will better understand the posi- ; tion taken by the state board of health. In 1922 forty-nine patients , were treated for the rabies while the i last year there have been nearly | twelve hundred in the state, costing . about twenty thousand dollars for the Pasteur treatments. If you own a dog you should take care of it, which means having it vacinate'd and tagged so the police will know it or better still, keep it at home. o — **«¥¥****¥¥«* * BIG FEATURES * ♦ OF RADIO * X ¥ ¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥ S’ WEDNESDAY’S FIVE BEST RADIO FEATURES WEAF—Hookup 9:30 pm.

METHODISTS TO GATHER TONIGHT The Methodist church of this city will introduce its second "Parish Night" tonight in connection with the first quarler'.y conference tor the year. The plan is to have supper nt 6:30 o’clock, the same as last Wednesday night, to which the whole church is invited. This will be a paid supper, that any ouc can afford and enjoy. There will be a short session of the Official Board immediately following the supper, after which there will be held tin. quarterly conference. Dr. W. W. Wiant, the superintendent of the Fort Wayne districtv, will preside and conduct the conference, at which time the various reports from departments will be heard. This is to be a congregational conference and all members of the church are a-ke ! ’ to arrange to stay for it. o HOOVER FORCES JUBILANT OVER TUESDAY’S VOTE (COJVri.WI Kl> FHOM I’AOB OMC» 200, and grand total of 453. To these claims the Hoover forces add 60 from Pennsylvania and at least 47 from New York, which, if ultimately borne out, would push the commerce secretary across the line with 560, or five more than a majority. The opposition to Hoover admittedly was somewhat downcast the situation today, but there was no indication that the fight is to be lessened in any way. On the contrary, it probably will be pursued with renewed vigor now that the seriousness of rhe situation, from the- opposition standpoint, is apparent. The same primaries of yesterday, in Ohio, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania, which boosted Hoover's delegate strength also gave a tremendous impetus to the Smith movement on the Democratic side. Smith’s generally accepted delegate strength in those states which have acted prior to yesterday was 362, scattered as follows: Arizona, 6; Arkansas, <8; Idaho, S; Illinois, sb; lowa. 26; Louisiana, 26; Maine, 12; Michigan, 30; Minnesota, 21: New Hampshire, 8; New York, 90; South Dakota. 10; Oklahoma, 12; Rhode Island, 10; Washington, 14; Wisconsin, 20; Alaska. 6: Philippines, 6; Virgin Islands, 2—Total, 362. On the basis of yesterday's ballot I Ing, it seemed certain today that the ■ New York governor will have the 36 from Massachusetts, an indicatbd IS j from Ohio after complimentary balloting for ex-Senator Atlee Pomcwfhe, and his friends claimed at least 60 out of Pennsylvania's 76. This would add 141 additional votes for Smith.: and send him across the five hundred , mark to 506. A total of 733’z votes I

Results In Ohio Columbus, 0., April 25 —(INS)—Her- , bort Hoover and Al Smith have been designated as the preferred presidential candidates by the Republican and Democratic paa-ties of Ohio, according to unofficial tabulations on tile here today. The voting was light throughout i the state yesterday, and except for the battle between supporters of Hoover and the campaigners of the late Senator Frank B. Willis, little interest w;s exhibited. Both Hoover and Smith were three to one favorites. Former Senator Atlee Pomerene, one of the prosecutors in the Teapot Dome oil scandals, was Smith's closest rival. The Republican preference returns from 7,200 of the state's 8,700 precincts gave Hoover 175.000 and the late Senator Willis 65,000, while Al Smith received 24,000 votes in tiic tabulated 8,000 precincts against 8,000 for Pomerene. — — —■" O ■■ 11 I CONQUEROR OF NORTH POLE SUCCUMBS ■ col IIMJKI) OX l'.4<.K TMO» __ trip proved in vain.

So was Commander Richard E. Byrd, for years a bosom triend of Bennett's. He had already named Bennett as second in command of their expedition this fall to the South Pole. "I am too grieved for words," said Byrd, tears in His eyes. For days lie had been at the hospital, aidingwßennett all he could. Both Bennett and Byrd had received numerous decorations for their great work as flyers, including the Congressional Medal of Honor. President Coolidge on one occasion presented Byrd with the Hubbard Medal of the National Geographic Society and pinnbd on Bennett a gold medal. "Bennett was one in a million — absolutely fearless." Byrd had often said of his companion flyer. “He was one of the greatest pilots in the navy. He was a real man." Other flyers expressed similar sentiments concerning Bennett. They all liked the quiet, blonde flyer. o *¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥♦ * THE GREAT WAR * * 10 YEARS AGO * *¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥♦ American, French and British defend road to Amiens.
