C. H. S. Commodores in the opening game of the Catholic high school tourney with Cathedral of Indianapolis, last night. The boys put up a good tight and the tiefeat does not change the confidence the fans and supporters have in the Commodores. After all only one team can win and Indianapolis had that advantage at the end of the game. The insurance companies should meet the city council's demand for a lowering of the fire insurance rates in Decatur. The city government has done about everything required to eliminate hazards and has provided splendid fire lighting apparatus and if any city is entitled to a reduction Decatur is. A lower insurance rats will save money for everyone and whatever co-operation is needed, citizens should be glad to give it to th. 1 city councilmen in helping bring about tlie cut in nites. Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt, assistant attorney-general in charge <f prohibition and better known on account of her activities in the last presidential election, will hold her job under the' Hoover administration. Since it is planned to transfer the prohibition enforcement department to the attorney general’s office, Mabie will have much to do with enforcing the law The way Mrs. Willebrandt acted in the campaign, we were lead to believe that she would be given her freedom, but evidently the administration cannot get along without her. Indiana has been honored with the election ot Senator James Watson as republican leader ot the United States senate. Senator Watson, ndt only ftom seniority rights, but through his own ability, is entitled to the place. Senator Wai son is one of the seasoned members of th ■ United States senate and has always displayed unusual tact in political mnnuvering. He was u candidate tor the republican nomination lor president ami entered the primary in this stale against Herbert Hoover. Ho plays politics, however, and the administration and republican party is fortunate in having Senator Watson to lead the majority during the sessions of congress. Congressman Albert Vestal from the Eighth district was reelected whip of the house and the two Hoosiers will play an important part in congress for the next two years. The Decatur Castings company, which now employs 120 persons in its

This splendid industry which came to Decatur in 1920 has grown steadily and through its capable manager, James Cowen, has greatly increased its business. It's payroll Is one of the big ones in the community and the leasing of additional factory space for the purpose of increasing production will further the distribution of pay envelopes among the employees. The Castings company manufactures castings for several of America's largest industrial plants.' Decatur has a number of the finest industries in the state and wherever possible the owners and management should be given every help and means o* co-operation in making it possible for them to prosper and grow. President Hoover experienced some trouble in getting his cabinet together. He lost his nerve, or at least did not show a good brand of confidence and self control, when he refused tc appoint Col. William Donovan of New York as attorney-general. The fighting New York colonel, who served as assistant attorney-general in President Coolidge's administration, was charged with being liberal on the prohibition question although a teetotal er himself, or was it something else and Mr. Hoover was swayed by Hie protest against him. Now it conies out that Robert P. Lamont, multimillionaire steel magnate of Chicago, who is the new secretary of commerce in President Hoover's cabinet, belonged to the ‘Association against the Prohibition Amendment” and served several years as a director in the organization. What is President Hoover going to do about that? What will the same forces who opposed Colonel Donovan have to say about Mr. Lamont. Wc do not claim that it's wrong for a man to belong to reputable associations, but why all this talk about fairness, broad-mindedness and statesmanship and then turn around and slap a fellow in the facta? John D. Rockefeller. Jr., trounced Colonel William Stewart in the proxy election of .the Standard Oil company of Indiana, receiving nearly two to one votes for his candidates as against those for Colonel Stewart. When Rockefeller speaks you had better listen. Although not personally taking part in the director's election, his cause was ably managed by his broth-er-in-law, Winthrop Aldrich and the later could lay claim to managing a campaign for a presidential candidate, so efficiently did he work. Personally there is nothing wrong with Colonel Stewart. He is a fine gentleman, a great organizer and was a faithful servant of the company. His testimony before the senate investigating committee was at least indiscreet. A man as big as Col. Stewart should have ‘‘come dean.” It was a real battle, based on business ethicx and principles and young Rockefeller, a product of a new school, took, exception "to Stewart's testimony and the apparent covering up of the infamous Continental oil deal. Evidently he was sincere in his request that the able chairman of the board of diredors be ousted. What effect the decision will have on business ethics and tactics will be watched carefully, with the hope that a worthy lessen lias been learned. Seems to Be Misnamed Why 1» a man called noble?
