Our very best wishes are extended to Roger Swaim who has succeeded the late George L. Saunders as editor of the News-Banner. Roger is splendidly equipped In every way for this position and we ' b< speak for him many years of ! success. We will miss the helpful , and interesting paragraphs which 1 George wrote each day so manv years but we will look forward just as eagerly for those of Roger. I ■ - ' j Senator George Sims of Terra J Haute took an ugly crack at GoverI nor Leslie yesterday, declaring that | if he can spend $53,000 of his con- | tingent fund in five months, its I time we did something for the poor. We don’t just see the connection and doubt if there is any but the main thing is that the governor is going to have a sorry time explaining in a satisfactory waysome of the items for which that $53,000 was spent. If Mr. Edris or any one else has . some plan where by the special election can be avoided they will i confer a favor by announcing it. ' We are sure no one wishes to im- • pose unnecessary expense upon the , people of Adams and Weils counties. Governor Leslie has ordered j the election as provided in the conjstitution and has ordered the sheriffs of the two counties to give legal notice, which they have done. To refuse to do so would make the officials liable under their bonds and to fail to elect a member of the legislature would according to the opinion of the attorney general invalidate those acts passed by a I majority of one vote, which might be serious enough to necessitate a special session. It will be a real treat to see J. Ham Lewis, of Illinois, take his seat in the stnate again. People have the greatest interest in their government when it is being operated by interesting people. And it may be said without disrespect to J. Ham that he is as inteersting as a monkey in the zoo. Whenever li comes into a room he is the focus of all eyes until he leaves.

His mannerisms, his brilliant conversation, his personal magnetism simply hold men spellbound. The pink whiskers no longer abide with him. Time has frosted them. Sili ver threads have replaced the rosetinted floss. Some of the dash, per- > haps, is gone. J. Ham, it is likely. [ would no longer relish a duel with [swords or pistols. What is left of the most picturesque political lead■er of his time is more substantial. now that the fires of youth have somewhat cooled. That brilliant, active mind, studded with gems • from Shakespeare, and the Bible, seems more serious than in years gone by. It is clear enough. James Hamilton Lewis is anxious to add I more to his memory than pink ■ whiskers, snappy comebacks, and B-au Brummtl dress. He wants [to write his name among the states men of the country. He wants to be remembered as a patriot. Hmust keenly feel that in the past | his actual and solid contributions [to international law and to states- | craft, have been over-shadowed by [the luster of his whiskers, the i flash of his diamonds, and the collar of his socks. Here is hoping [that Senator Lewis realizes what is obviously his ambition The little man has good metal in him. He is far abler than most of the solons who hide their limitations behind a solemn face and a discreet tongue. In a real crisis, we’d take our chances with J. Ham. He has courage, intellect, and imagination. And he loves his country more than personal gain. — Fort Wayne Journal-Gag'itte. o BARGAINS; — Bargains in Living Ri“>m, Diring Room suits, mat tresses and rugs. Stuckey and Co. Monroe.

LEGISLATURE GETSDOWNTO BUSINESS First of 309 Proposed Bills Are Introduced In State Assembly ALL COMMITTEES ARE COMPLETED Indianapolis. Jan 14—(UP) —Indiana legislators settled down to the serious grind of lawmaking today, having completed distribution of committee posts in a short session yesterday afternoon. The first of more than 300 pro-1 posed legislative measures were ] dumped into the house and senate ' hoppers this morning. In yesterday’s meeting rules in I both houses were suspended for i passage of a bill providing $150,000' expenses for the session.

Leslie for “throwing away” money in his emergency

fund despite destitute conditions in sections of the state. He charged Leslie spent $53,000 from his emergency fund in five months. “The legislature gave him the money,” he said. "The legislature can take it away.” Senator James J. Nejdl, Whiting, opposed appointment of the committee on the ground that it had no power or money to provide relief. The resolution was passed, and the committee met today. Delph L. McKesson. dAnocrat, Plymouth, was made house floor leader during the caucus following iately to unemployment relief. A resolution introduced by Senator Alonzo H. Landley, republican, Kingman, providing for appointment of five committeemen to investigate serious unemployment conditions in southern Indiana, drew fire.
