While a hundred thousand police office* were searching for the Lindwgh babe, a thousand men over j|t Niles, Ohio, were making a hunt for Jimmy De Jute, son of a weaftliy contractor who was kidnapedfby two men while he was on hiAway to school with a sister. And tl Mr. and Mrs. De Jute his finding, was just as important and the heart aches just as serious as those at the Lindbergh home. Ge' set for the democratic banquet here on the evening of March 14th. -That’s the date now and it won't ®e changed. Plans to take cars of a thousand people are Itefng nigie and every one of those who attend wil] enjoy the affair. Hear the state and congressional canditßtes, get acquainted with them arid you will be the better able tq decide whom you wish to suppoii Bill The trace for tae democratic nominal ion for President goes merrily otj and the apparent increase in theffeeling between Smith and Roosevelt has caused many to begin to think about the others who have -been mentioned. Among these jlelvin Traylor of Chicago is perhaps receiving as much attention as any. He is considered one ot the safe and sound business men of America and by many is believed to Im the ’'man of the hour.' 1 Indicia seems to be far ahead of other slates aud the federal government in this kidnaping game so far as the laws are concerned, ijr we already have a life imprisonment penalty. However that doesn’t seem ta stop them for we have had a number of kidnapings in the state, particularly up in the South Pend section.

about the only way to check the wave of banditry. Every one wants taxes as low as . possible, at least every one who pays does, and there is no doubt the trend ts in that direction. It I remains, however, for every one to use their best judgment. Assist 1 the officials as you can and rememI her thalr jobs are not easy these > days. The assessments can be re- • dueed, should be and will be be- > cause the correct point is the “fair ’ cash value” which of course is not what it was three or four years ago. Then the budgets should be made as low as possible so the rates will not have to be increased any more than is necessary. Its a tough pull but we will get through it finally. "Depression" and “panic” were taboo words a few months ago. We were implored through the press and the radio to hush-hush all talk about economic conditions save that of having a distinctly cheerful-robin inflection. Our business troubles, we glibly were assured, were “purely psychological." Quit talking about them and lb! they would vanish as does a lowland mist before the streaming morning sunshine. That attitude, though well-inten-tioned. was immature. It took little cognizance of the economic trends that were unsound and sure to precipitate disaster. As 1932 gets under way, however, the encouraging sign of the times is that the j wish-thinking of 1931 is passing.; | Strong leaders are emerging from the pile, men who do not flinch at facts evetj though they may jolt ideas and practices sanctioned by long acceptance. Production, they have learned, has been rushing along blindly without, regard to consumption; and the two are out of step with distribution. Waste and inefficiency honeycomb ma n y enterprises. Speculation has popularized false ideas of value. Injustice has bitten deep into human relations. Del,ls,,for wars- past and future — ire ii around the neck of commerce. All of us must face up to such distasteful facts and to their implications. As we do, the depression's “psychological factor"— which in plain English is fear — will be displaced by a heartening confidence. There is much truth in the adage that a problem well understood is already half-solved. —The Rotarian. 9 —— - —■ I Lessons In English | ♦ ♦ Words often misused: Do not say “I dislike cabbage worse than turnips,” Say 'more than turnips.'
