When we don't have that we haven't a chance to win. Tom Heflin is talking about starting a new party. Well, that ought to be wild enough .to suit the most modern. Business ceased in Decatur this afternoon, following a custom of the past several years, observing the occasion of Good Friday. In Chicago they dragged a man into court for not obeying a summons, fined him and then acquitted him on the original charge. Beat that for this thing they call justice up there. Unrest continues in the Joliet prison and there will be riots and near riots until the authorities show in unmistakable ways that the prisoners must obey orders. Just how that should be done we would not undertake to say, but surely there is away and those in charge ought to find it. We may have to start to soft pedal on our talk against Russia and her soviet government. That nation is the only one in the world which increased its business with this country the first two months of this year and we can’t afford in tins age to offend any good customer like that. Easter next Sunday and then spring will really be here. Activities will start next week and one of tlie big jobs of course will be the general clean-up of house and yard. Get busy and remember that the more help you employ, the more you are aiding in solving the unemployment problem. South Bend, the home of Notre Dame has on many occasions paid tribute to the greatest coach of football in the world but always before it has been with glad hearts, much noise and great acclaim. This week the crowd gathers but there are no cheers. Instead men and women stand with bowed heads and tears flow freely as they mourn the passing of the famous Knute Rockne and the gloom spreads out far over the country where he was so sincerely admired and respected. Income tax collections in this country were off during March about two hundred million dollars and it is reported that all other revenues to the federal treasury are slumping in comparison.

i predicted that the total lose of income for the year will reach $700,000,000. And next year comes a national campaign. Os course there ’• will be explanations and excuses and alibis but unless conditions ’• actually show Improvement you may look out for a political upheaval that will extend from coast r to coast. > ■ Here as every where over the ) civilised world, Good Friday was ’ observed today, reverently, prayer--5 fully and earnestly. The past year J has made every one think more 1 seriously than in a score of years. We are coming out of the wild period which foilowed the war and naturally now as in all former i ages, when troubles come tile human race turns to God for aid. Today we observe the death of Christ upon the Cross and millions are in silent prayer as the Easter Day nears. It is fitting that we cease I our toil, forget our worries and turn to those more important les- , sons which come from the teachings of the church. Authorities in Washington have turned down the appeal for a special session of congress to relieve farm conditions and judging from the past we are inclined to believe that this decision is about the greatest relief that could be given. As long as the statesmen meet and orate, trade and fight and play politics, there can be no improvement in economic conditions. We know before they meet that they will do nothing that will bring any noticeable relief and the sooner we all make up our minds to get down to “brass tacks" and work out our problems for ourselves, the sooner we will make ends meet. If we wait for congress to fix things for us, we will have to live several centuries to enjoy it. Two Fort Wayne men, charged witli manslaughter as the result of reckless driving of automobiles, appeared in court there to answer charges. One of them plead guilty and the court acquitted him promptly. The other stood trial and set him free. In each case there was evidence of law violations that would seem to be conclusive but these men go unpunished except for whatever remorse they must feei aud what they have suffered during the time their fates iiuug in the balance. The chance for defeating the law, in this country seem to favor the violators and as long as this condition continues we will probably be trying to solve the problems of law enforcement. o * BIGFEATL'REs " OF RADIO Friday Five Best Radio Features WEAF—(NBC network!—s:oo pm.

HYDE HEARING IS CONTINUED £ (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) tlie board of commissioners conliaued the hearing on ' the ouster,) charges until their regular meeting date. Monday, April 6, on wiucii ! dare it is expected that the board' will set a later date on which a j hearing will be held. In hia complaint for injunction til- ’ ed in circuit court, Supt. Hyde al-! leged that u majority of the board | of commissioners hud stated and threatened a purpose to sustain the, charges against him und to name his successor, and he set out that he already had filed an appeal bond to carry the case to the circuit court in anticipation of an adverse ruling. According to current reports two applicants already had applications on file for appointment of Hyde's position. Charges Are Set Forth The charges against Hyde alleging mal-.easance in office seta out as specific grounds to substantiate tlie charges that Hyde without authoritv by law appointed his wife as his office assistant and provided the payment of her salary by creation of an additional road district designate as district No. 29. with his wife designated as the assistant superintendent of this district and allowed her salary claims as an assistant superintendent. It is alleged that such j procedure is invalid and that the law does not provide for an office assistant to the superintendent. Mrs. Hyde has been serving as office assistant ince 1928, aud is alleged to have received salary-to the amount of about $3,000. o —— FORMER MAYOR FAVORS CERMAK (CONTINUED FRONTPAGE fourth term, defended his administration and attacked the records of Cermak and State’s Attorney John A.
