While they are sending a six-year-old Kentucky boy to prison for murder they might find out why the parents had a gun loaded and at hand for the children to pick up and shoot somebody with. in due time Lindy and his bride will come out of their retreat. In the meantime the reporters who •‘muffed" the story and can't get a line on them are wild with rage while the public •is smiling for most people feel that even the colonel has a right to enjoy his honeymoon without the prying eyes of the public gating on. We will get a new tariff bill it seems but there is considerable difference of opinion as to whether it will benefit any one excepting the few for whom the increases are intended and the argument is about as keen among republicans as democrats. It may be a repetition of the famous special session of President Taft twenty years ago. The governor of Kentucky ananounces that his state is ready to proceed with the building of the much talked about Evansville bridge. We should think so. in fact they are perhaps anxious to proceed since under the present arrangement they are to receive a present of two million dollars. The governor of Kentucky ought to be a firm believer in Santa Claus also. Mrs. Willebrandt is peeved, it now develops. She felt she had earned a judgeship and seems to have thought that all she had to do was to let the president know she would accept, but he fooled her and appointed a lawyer for the place, so Mabel got mad and took her “doll rags” and went home, according to the dope out from Washington. Tlie department of justice will probably continue to function. The Green Flash, an American plane started a little jaunt across the Atlantic yesterday, got out twenty minutes and discovered a leak in a gas tank. They turned back of course. Seems as though any body going to make such a perilous trip would know that the tanks were sound before training but any way this one was discovered in time to avoid a serious accident far out at sea and every body is glad of it. In broad daylight *wo bandits captured a South Bend bank president and his taxi driver, took them to a partially constructed building, stole $13,000 and escaped, leaving the men bound with wires. Rather bold for the Jesse James days but such an ordinary occurance now that it gets only regular headlines in the papers. We certainly need enforcement of laws, plenty of it and some rapid fire justice. Today w-e honor the “boys in blue” and all others who offered their best years as a sacrifice to their native land. We believe that every good Am^it^q’ypihft, 4 4?art in, this great pccasion. The day. originally' .get apart for doing honor to the deceased comrades of the Union army has now become a day for paying respects to the soldiers of all wars as well. In Decatur today the program was in charge of the American Legion, who are to be dommended upon the splendid manner in which they have ar-

TODAY’S CHUCKLE Oregon City, Ore.—W.R)— Because her husband refused to clean his teeth, take a bath, and chews snuff, Mrs. Nellie A. Oughton asked In a complaint filed In circuit court to be separated from Earl D. Oughton. ,

2 ranged to observe this holiday and J carry on. > —— 1 The gangsters have made peace as I between themselves and will now • devote their spare time to killing off police or others who interfere with their game in Chicago. A government which stands for this is certainly not planning to remain in power long for i if they permit bandits and beer runners to thus control one city, be sure it will grow eventually to states and the nation. Its really a serious thing to think about. Here is a suggestion frome one who is deeply ftnpressed by the large number of deaths in automobile accidents in Delaware county each year. He would have the court house bell tolled as soon as possible after each death from that cause. Say it was the seventh death in the calendar year, the bell would be tolled seven times and this continued with intervals of a minute for thirty minutes. He thinks the solemnity of such a situation would do more to impress careless or reckless drivers than all the preaching at them that can be done. It would serve to arouse the entire community, he believes, and the psychological effect would be profound. Like many another apparently good plan, however. It has a defect: Who would do the tolling?—| Muncie Press. They are seriously considering expulsion of Indiana. Purdue and Northwestern along with lowa from She Big Ten on the grounds that they have tried to induce certain athletes to attend the universities and become members of football or basketball teams. We presume every coach, large and. small, has when possible, urged men to come to their school, so as to build a better team. That would be natural and unless they have really purchased them, most folks will not see any thing very alarming about it. Those who attend the games want some real entertainment, don’t forget and the rules may be made so tight that much interest will be lost. On the other hand if unfair and unsportsmanlike means have been used to secure players, the teams should be dropped. The committee seems to have somewiiat of a job on hands and it will require careful handling.
