The recent heavy rains caused the , flooding of many basements in the, city and calls attention to the fact j ‘ that one of these days we are going 1 to have a big problem on our hands — | that of rebuilding our sewerage sys-1 1 tern. 1 __________ It would be more interesting than a Dempsey-Tunney bout if Stephenson ' could be turned loose in the Severin>' hotel for the next two or three days. Would he be able to organize the ' bunch as he did in two or three con- 1 ventions and would he play ball with ‘ Robinson and "Slioi;ty” and Jackson? 1 And how? ' ___________ The fatal accident Saturday even- 1 ing when a well-known young man re- ' ceived injuries from which he died 1 in a few hours should again remind us of the dangers of attempting to start a fire by the use of kerosene. | 1 During the past few weeks there have | 1 been several similar accidents in this j 1 vicinity and we can only profit by i 1 being more careful. , : We favor the enforcement of law and believe there are decent ways in 1 which to do that. Certainly we do, 1 not favor such raids as that pulled in I' Jay county the other evening when a i half dozen men ransacked a house j without authority and finding no liquor helped themselves to several 1 hams. The American people will not long stand for that kind of business ' whether it be called ‘‘law enforcement’' or by any other name. We are certainly getting ail our information concerning presidential candidates second hand this year. Why all the close mouthedness? Heretofore. candidates for this high office have considered it wise to at | least make a speech or two in which they set out their views on the questions of greatest public interest, but i this year not a one has chirped that we have heard about. The order from the city council for the enforcement of the ordinance against double parking along the streets should be rigidly enforced. If it is not, a serious accident is sure to occur one of these days and then every official will be criticized. If it is enforced there may be some complaining for a week or two but if every body has to obey it. no one can honestly object. There are thousands of cars in the county and when they all try to get in one block at the same time, there is sure to be a conjestion that means Inconvenience and danger. The great Kentucky derby or “darby” as they prefer to call it was another classic for those who get a I thrill out of such sporting events and we confess we do. Reigh Count, the favorite, owned by Mrs. John D. Hertz of Chicago, won it while the greatest crowd in all history cheered the twenty-two starters through a field of mud. Besides this, millions heard the race well described over the radio and i'elt the thrill of being there, in

a few more years you will be able to sit at home and watch such events as this while hearing all the details. j Just why those opposing Frank C. Dailey's nomination are continuing ; their light is beyond most people who [have given more or less pttention to [ politics, unless the opposition is bei ing made purposely to injure his chances in the November election. Mr. Dailey already has the promise of I two hundred more delegate votes than is necessary to nominate him on the first ballot in the convention and since he received almost as many votes in the primary as did all those I running against him, it would seem | that those honestly desiring to see 1 him elected could better be turning I their time and effort along lines. . ■ ■■..Dm . ii= Governor Ed Jackson insists on speaking at the republican state con-1 * vention even though he knows he is not wanted. He will boast no doubt of the fact that because of increased valuations on Indiana property he was ablo to reduce the state tax but he I will have but little to say of a num her of other things that have occurred during his administration. Now if the convention will go ahead and nomin-1 ate Fred Schortemeier for governor i and then let the people vote we can ' have a straight out decision on whether or nqt the people approve the ad-1 ministration. With Robinson for senator and Schortemeier for governor land with Jackson and Coffin of statute 1 of limitation fame, backing them, we. should know just how the people feel about it. Just one year ago today we were' all thrilled when the news was flash ed around the world that Charles Lindbergh, just an ordinary young American had landed, in Paris after the first successful flight across the Atlantic. Since that day. twelve months ago. the lad has become a colonel, a favorite, a diplomat who has done much to draw closer all the nations of the world. Greater honor has been given him than ever was be- [ stowed upon a man of his years and one of the finest things about it all, lis the manner in which he has con-, ducted himself. Here’s hoping you | may have many more anniversaries, Colonel and that you may continue to ride on top of the world through a half dozen decades. The recent heavy rains in this section were badly needed and the results are already apparent. The crops sure look good and the pasture lands which have been slow in starting this year have the healthiest look they have had this spring. It is said that practically all of the corn and beets have been planted and there is j every indication for a splendid harvest ' for every thing excepting wheat. If this comes true and the prices are j reasonably good it will bring more | farm relief than all the laws that i could be enacted by a dozen logger-! headed congresses. After all its rath i er difficult to get away from the • honest returns of supply and demand.! , —o ******<!,**«*«* * BIG FEATURES * * OF RADIO * »***¥¥¥¥¥**¥ K MONDAY’S FIVVE BEST RADIO FEATURES WBAL—Baltimore (285) 8 pm Kita Deulhoa Canto, Brazilian Pianist.

Attention, Middle-Aged Women! Fort Wayne,’ Ind.—“ Dr. Pierce’s medI icines were a life saver to me at middle ®age. When I reached i that period it seemed i that I had all the ail- i ments and distress . that can come to a 1 woman. My nerves gave way, I was so weak that some days r I was not able to be on my feet at all. I had hot flashes, dizzy spells, backache and •z pains thru my sides. I was a complete physical wreck when 1 l>egan taking Dr Pierce’s Favorite Prescription and ‘Holden Medical Discovery . These medicines soon ended the suffering and distress and brought me thru this critical period a strong healthy woman.” —Mrs. Ida Jackman, Baker St. All dealers. Tablets or liquid.
