We wonder if that Indianapolis blind man who has been sentenced to Serve six months on the penal farm for bootlegging will be able to see the error of his ways. The good old summer time may have been a month slow in getting here but have no fear that you will not have enough of it to wear out all your light weight clothes. "Lets be done with hypocrisy" will b*- a slogan of this years campaign one that should appeal, if every one will be honest In his convictions there will be many heneSts derived, j ——— The Old Home Week committee will meet this evening to discuss plans for that great event. The more effort we make the better will be the big . week. You should get in the game and help put it over. More than two hundred people gave their lives in the Fourth of July celebrations in this country", a rather heavy price to pay for the prfvflegw of letting off steam After all isn’t it foolish to spend so much money and take such risks as we do with the idea that by making a .battle noise we are creating patriotism? * ■' HI ■■ ■ The supreme court of California has finally decided that William Hickman ‘ is guilty of lltf slaying of Marion Parker, which decision was almost I • unanimous with the one hundred and j thiity million people of this countrymonths ago. They are now wondering just what It was that required such i careful and continued consideration i » Another wind and electric storm which did hundreds of thousands of dollars damage throughout central Indiana Wednesday night is but further proof that the local telephone company is acting wisely in placing their city wires under ground. It is quite likely that within a short period all such wires will be buried to avoid such damage as has been caused several times the past few months. Looks like it would be a mighty good Investment. - ■ ■■ Citizens of Decatur are glad to wel- 1 come home J. A. Selmetz. who has been forced to take a years leave of absence because of a general breakdown of his health He is greatly improved and is as pleased to be back in pecatiir as the folks here are glad to have him. He says the hardest work he ever did was to try to do nothing. We join his bout of friends in the wish that be will continue in good health that he may serve the community many years to come.

The conventions over, there is a 1 slight lull iti politics awaiting the acceptance addresses of Governor Smith and Secretary Hoover. In these will be expressed we presume the exact understanding of the candidates of the various platform planks of importance and then will begin the organization in each party for one of the greatest political battles ever w aged. The opening guns of the campaign will be fired early In September and will continue two months, but In the meantime there are many fences to build and much to be planned. The fight will soon be on.

One of the best speeches made at '» I the recent democratic national convention was that by Senator Gore, I blind statesman of Oklahoma. He >| ) > said If the democrats choose for ijtbflr campalgu hymn "On the side- - 1! walks of New York," the republican I } , 'party will have to choose "My bonnle i i lies over the ocean." Mr. Hoover hav- ! ing been abroad most of his life. He was worried for fear Mr. Hoover would not be able to get his second naturalization papers before the cam | paign opens His speech was hum I orous but bad many real jolts that j went home. — J Two Italians. Captain Ferrarln and j Major Prete have established a new | dying record by sailing their mono-1 . plane. So via, from Rome to Brazil, a I distance of 4,600 miles, a wonderful achievement and one that will Tend to create even greater interest in flying. This was the longest non-stop flight, ever made. Within a few years this will not be considered ,a great feat perhaps for as sure as time goes on this mode of travel will be developed until some day some one will prob- j ably circle the globe. That Is not so j important perhaps as is the fact that j flying is each day becoming safer and that within a few years the airplane will be the popular conveyance for long trips. Think of flying to New York City in half a day with no dust, no bumps, no noise, nothing but pleas ant sensations. Thats whats coming. William E. Settle, head of the Indiana farm organization, says that the farmers of the nation feel grateful to tbe Houston convention for the encouragement and sympathy given them He adds that “the American farmer is in earnest in this matter." When the Kansas City convention i hooted the farmer out into the street and called the police to club him a bit, this was mostly a blunder. No great party convention would deliberately deal in such a manner with the farmer. But, the unfortunate epi-! sode occurred before the party mau-1 ageia realized the far-reaching effect of what was happening. By and large the republicans doubtless wish the farmer well. That the farmer was . kicked out at Kansas City and clubbed probably does not have the sympathy of the rank and file of the republican party. The leaders have been so perplexed by the farm question, they had been so successful in dodging the issue for a good many yt-ars, the Kansas City show-down was provocative. ! They lost their heads. They suddenly ! realized that the farm problem whijrh j they had so successfully juggled and man-handled for twelve years confronted them as a real issue, and that the farmer was present to demand j justice. Then it was that the Kansas j Cltv convention lost its head and | went berserk. In view of the tine consideration which the Houston convention gave the American farmer, : the affair at Kansas City stands out !in contrast. Mr. Settle says the In- ! diana fai mers particularly are well pleased. If it is true here, it is probably true throughout the nation. But farming needs to take its place among the legitimate industties of the nation. The democrats seem inclined to take a political and economic chance and to start the movement. And that is all the American farmer is askiug. —Terre Haute Tribune.
