A little touch of winter now but i 1 don’t worry, it will soon be time to hear of the arrival of the first rob- ' bin and red bird. Thirty-two years on one joh is 1 usually proof that a man knows his ! business and the fact that in Martin 1 Mylott's case his job is more or less ' political there can be no doubt either 1 as to his ability or his popularity. “The ■ nate makes football of the tariff” sin headline. Now all they need evidently is some good end run- ' ners. They seem to have plenty to “buck"' the lines. It may seem like Christmas is a long ways off and it is for the young- * ster who is just beginning to be good so Santa will come but there are only twenty-seven shopping days between now and that eventful time. Better begin thinking seriously about it. (*omp!etion of the improvements at the city plant, with all bills paid and 1 an equipment second to none should | make every one here feel mighty [ proud. The newly rebuilt building is [ worth your time for inspection and the boys there will be glad to have you take a squint or a good look at this very modern institution. ============= Congress will adjourn tomorrow. The special session called with so much propaganda of the great good to be accomplished has been one of 1 the jokes of all time and no one cares < much whether they adjourn or keep i on “fiddling.’' The regular session 1 will begin early in December. A fellow driving a truck loaded with two hundred quarts of whiskey hit a Nickel Plate train over at Paulding and realizing what he was up against, abandoned his machine and beat it.' Os course a crowd gathered and it is said that a number of those who arrived early each picked up a quart as souvenirs of the wreck. Harry Sinclair was released from jail at midnight, having served seven months.' He may have committed some crimes during his busy years while accumulating millions but now that its all over a lot of folks feel that he suffered much .for what he did. He was convicted because some of his secretaries watched the jury in his oil case so that no one else could get to them without his knowing it. Surely things are going too far. Down in Albuquerque, New Mexico, a few days ago three men went to the outskirts where a vacant house stood, tore it down and hauled it away. When the owner went out to see what was needed to get his house ready to si. it was gone. Neighbors who saw the men at work sup posed he had ordered it wrecked and consequently did not report the matter. Marshall Ratliff, known as the “Santa Claus bandit” was lynched at Eastland, Texas, and now the town is remorseful, realizing it would have been better to permitted the law to take its course. Ratliff, dressed as a Santa Claus, with two confederates, robbed a bank at Cisco, Texas, two years ago. They were captured and sentenced to death for the killing of one of the bank officials. A few days

ago the bandit tried to escape from jail and shot the jailer. The citizens of the town talked it over until it j became u mania and a great crowd I (overpowered the jailer anil closed the [career of the fake Santa with a hangling bee. Its another mark against [Texas but its also another bail man out of the way for good. The explosion of films in the X-ray [room of the University of California hospital in San Francisco was similar [to that ut the Crile clinic at Cleveland some months ago, but there was no I loss of life. The saving of patients lin a disastrous hospital fire is largely 'a matter of good fortune and the lesson to be drawn from such happenings is that the utmost precautions should be taen. It ought to be possible for a hospital to arrange its work so that there is a minimum of danger of fire in a fireproof building's contends. In the nature of things hospitals most handle inflammable ma-i terials, but there is no reason for maintaining a laboratory so that It is ■ a menace to patients. There is a vast difference between a hospital and a hotel, where all persons presumably have the physical ability to escape. Much of the good a hospital can do depends on a proper environment tor its patients that will give j them the feeling of positive security. — Indianapolis News.
