At least Alfonso was a money- " maker, regardless of the fact that •’ he was ousted as king of the Spaniards. Another thing (hat seems strange these days: Republican papers don Alike Mr. Shouse of the Demo-1 craQv executive committee. i£, they take cigarettes away frcm us how is a fellow going to think and be able to sit down and write? Well, any way, when it comes tin**- to die, it won't make any dis- ' ference if the clock is set ahead, ' running at regular time or even 1 stopped. ’ Enough has been written and < spoken that everyone should tinder- < stand the depression period by now | and realize that predictions are < abrmt as good now as six months i ago* —• ,A*poli of the republican delegates - to’the national convention in 1928 ’ - shows that the delegates favor the j - — renjmination of President Hoover t as their party leader. Well, if they want him. let 'em have him. The Wickersham committee claims that lack of data concerning crime makes it impossible for them to make an intelligent report. That must liave been the trouble with the prohibition report and the individual opinions appended thereto. Someone took another shot at « ... “Legs" Diamond, gangster and hoodlum at a roadhouse In the I “ Catskill Mountains the other night and reading between the lines we believe New York officials would have been glad if the would-be * assassin had not missed his mark.

We haven't any tall buildings to show you, but otherwise we think we have the finest ItUle town in the country and we waul you to look us over. No less an authority than Governor Leslie brands the investigation ot the passing of the bus bill as a , “frame-up”, instigated by overzealous activities of certain attorneys. It s far from being anything so im- < pprtant or serious as to cause all n... the fire in Indianapolis and the ■— public wonders who has an ax to ,„ grind.

LaPorte is in about the same mi: up as .Decatur as far as having . town clock which gives the correc time.

Fred Burke, notorious criminal, charged with a half dozen coldblooded murders was sentenced to life imprisonment in the Michigan state penitentiary yesterday for the murder of a policeman at St. Joseph. Durke was captured a few weeks ago in Missouri and was removed to Michigan for trial. He plead guilty to the murder of the police man and as the state law did not provide for the death penalty, the gunman was ordered committed to I prison. At least he'll have time to think things over. A program of interest to children, and designer] primarily for the boys is being held this week in obser- ' vance of International Boys Week. It's a fine thing to do and these who are giving of their time in carrying out the program deserve the commendation of all. The program today of having the parents visit their children in school was a worthy one and we trust many ot the parents availed themselves of visiting the schools, meeting the teachers and seeing their sons and daughters doing the ground work tor a life of happiness and worth. William Cardinal O’Connell of » • IMhton gave expression to some wholesome philosophy when he penned the following excerpts, taken from a new book of his sermons: “If you want to know your friends, make a mistake.'' “Forgive quickly, you will save your time and digestion.” "A man without faults is like an airplane without an engine. He cannot rise." "Forgive and forget. The first helps your soul. The second your liver.” "Anger is a bad guide to action." "Do not believe much of what you hear —not all even of what you think you see.’’ “Watch ambition — it is a leaping horse which may land you in a ditch.” “When your enemy raves, smile, and hear him stammer.” o ANSWERS TO TEST QUESTIONS Below are the answers to the test questions printed on page two ♦ ±4 1.
