The president may overlook some things but he seldom misses a weekend trip to his fishing haunt in the Blue Ridge mountains of Virginia. Whatever the cost to do it right, this splendid city should at once arrange to provide a rest room, adequate and well kept, for the public, twenty-four hours a day and. seven days a week. Any thing short of that is a discourtesy to the traveling pub-< lie. Tile attorney general of Indiana lias ruled that the section of the new driver’s license law making cities and counties and the state liable in cases of accident caused by the negligence of drivers in their employ, to be unconstitutional because there was no mention of this liability in the title of the act. Ramsey McDonald as prime minist- — er of England proposes some radical changes and while theye is much speculation the people over there may find it much more economical and better government to provide money so rthe railroads so they can employ labor than to dole out funds to the idle men of that nation. Beginning this week the New Yorker with the money can go to Los Angeles in sixty hours, cutting the old time squarely in two. The New York Central and the Pennsylvania railway companies, up to the minute will fly and haul passengers across the continent in record time. We move these days and if we don't we may get stepped on. • Whatever you may think of Harry Thaw whose wild club life has for years provided sensations to keep tongues wagging, you must if you are posted, have a kindly feeling for his aged mother, whose death occurred Sunday, at the age of ninety. She was a lady ind a faithful mother who made the best of things that happened and held her head up in spite of the. disgraceful episodes in which her son V engaged. She was a woman of many good qualities. The Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette suggests tha Frank C. Dailey, democratic candidate tor governor last November be selected to continue and complete the investigation of the charges that fraud was used in Lake county. Don't suppose they will do it but it would sure be interesting for Mr. Dailey, be it remembered is a veteran iu that business. He did - some very good work iu this state. Michigan and Chicago a few years - ago. <*M There is considerable talk already to make Owen D. Young, chairman of the board with the General Electric company and an outstanding figure in international affairs, the democratic nominee for president in 1932. He is unquestionably a world figure, a man who knows how to do things and’one whose judgment for all the people is Whether he will fit the picture iti 1982 remains to be seen but its our guess the people by that time will be in need of some, real leadership of the brand for which he has become famous. ‘ (g Federal officers raided a meeting of She republican editors of Wisconsin tire other day and confiscated

That state re- [ centiy repealed the dry laws and the i editors evidently desired to test out ' the question of how much liberty the i change gave them. They will prob- ' ably discover that the national laws are just as strict as ever and apply ,to Wisconsin just as much as they do to the dryest state in the Union. The sad part of the episode is that the meeting was called Io celebrate the 75th anniversary of the birth of the republican party. William Howard Taft, 71. ex-presi-dent and present chief justice of the supreme court is a patient in a Wallington hospital. That frightens many who feel that he is a wise and safe man to sit at the head of the American court system but it may be just the thing that saves his life for some years. Tired out and partially worn out he went for an examination before leaving for his summer home in Canada and was advised to rest a bit. One hundred and twenty million Americans hope he will soon be able to grab his fish pole and light out for the hills and rills. Although the modern, big-city skyscraper costs an enormous sum to build and is solid emuigh. apparently, to last forever, the men who build them are estimating the average life of such a building at not more than 25 years. This surprising statement is made by Silas Bent, publicist, in the current issue of World’s Work. Land values change so rapidly in a modern city, Mr. Bent explains, that builders figure that any given skyscraper will have outlived its usefulness in a quarter century’s time. It does not pay to build one to last much longer that that; the changing years will follow so after the character of its neighborhood that it will not be adapted to give the best returns. This is an interesting bit of knowledge, surely. We usually think of our skyscrapers as our greatest monuments — things that will endure for future generations to marvel at. Instead, if Mr. Bent is correct, they are insurbstantial things of a day. A six-room frame suburban dwelling may outlast them. —The Newcastle Courier.
