Well bus 1 iness is a little off all over the j country. The president probably wishes he hadn't junked all those ships. He was so crowded over the weekend he couldn't even use a fish pole. . The* government is to spend * 5315,UP0,000 less next year than this, which will help some. The .only, difficulty is that reductions come too late always. Its now when we ought to have the de- ' crease. The bus bill that is causing the ■ investigations at Indianapolis pass- ■ ed the house with but three dis-j seating votes. What need of any conspiracy if that was the sentiment? Looks like there might be some business or politics or something back of it. Mayor Cermak of Chicago is to find out that liis job is not an easy one and the citizens whether or not the new mayor is equal to the j occasion. He is up now where he will have to arrange a loan of about four million dollars to take care of teacher's salaries. The Studebaker Automobile Com-1 pany reports an increase of bus- , iness during March greater than | any mouth, since September of : 1929, which is encouraging for j . surely a nation that can buy new ’ cars at the rate of the past sixty days is not in sucji desperate cir- ’ cumstances.

r ___• The republicans are looking the held over for a likely candidate for ■ /governor bpt so far haven't been; able to awaken much enthusiasm among the eligible?. The outlook for a victory in Indiana next year i is not very flattering for that party and no one knows it better than their own leaders. About half the republicans want ' the tariff reduced and the other ' half will by this time next year. l No legislation ever adopted in this . country has caused half as much feeling against this country and coming at this time when our great- 1 est hope is foreign business, its

just too bad for business as well as politics. Well, any way the President is a good fisherman. Any fellow who can catch the quota of twenty trout in a day Is entitled to all the credit that goes with smart angling. So whatever benefits there are from this qualification are, the chief executive is entitled to. May 4th to 9th is clean-up week in Decatur and the city street department is asking your cooperation that it may be the best one ever. Get tlp> tin cans and rubbish ready. The trucks will start out Tuesday morning, May sth. Help tlie boys do a good job. Os course you must take care of your own ashes. Republican newspapers are making quite a campaign to prove that the depression is not in any way because of the increased tariff. Well just what is the cause of it and how does the tariff help? These , are questions that will be discussed the next year and a half and upon the answer will depend largely the results in November 1932. The rate of interest on Wall street is one per cent as compared to fifteen and twenty a couple of years ago. but remember its call money and that you have to put up twice as much collateral as you borrow- and must be ready to pay or sacrifice the stock when demand is made, all of which doesn't help the fellow who really needs cash i for iigitimate uses. Its daylight saving season of the 1 year over the country and the mixup of time is one. Here we have tlie rather unique incident of the old town clock an hour behind > which is inconvenient to say the least. With halt' the people going by one time and half by another there is sure to be much complaint and perhaps that will lead to some kind of an agreement that will i work out satisfactorily, though we admit we dpji't now just what the solution will be.

Tom Clevenger, chief of police | at Winchester, gave his life while on duty but shot and killed his > assailant after being mortally shot. Two men evidently fleeing from ' Richmond officers where they had i stolen a car and robbed a store i drove up and when Clevenger began to question them, started firing. As he fell he shot and killed one of the men whose body was thrown from the car by the other bandit. It was as thrilling a murdier as those of the famous Burke ' and. shows to what desperate ends these highwaymen of today will go.
