The death sentence given Mrs. Snipes has been commuted to life imprisonment, which does not surprise many, for very few thought the expectant mother would die in the electric chair. Every citizen of Indiana who believes in going forward can help his state and nation as well as his community by providing labor to all he can, by doing things and keeping the wheels of industry moving and in the end, those who do so will profit. Crawfordsville had a disastrous fire yesterday, six large buildings ; being destroyed and the loss is estimated at more than $500,000. | Firemen f.-jm mdianapolis and adjoining cities were called and' fought bravely to control the blaze. Included in the list of concerns were several retail establishments and if they were not entirely destroyed look, for some fire sales

over there. ■ Governor McNutt in his message to the legislature goes even beyond his promises to the people during ' he campaign, which is a new day in Indiana and Ids pledges if carried out will banish hunger and restore men to their normal ways of life. If he can bring that about he will be heralded as a great leader, not only in Indiana but in the nation. We know he is going to try his best to deliver. Grain prices took a sudden hop late yesterday and we hope its a healthy advance that will keep on going, until it reaches a point that will warrant the farmer to plant a -new crop nest spring. If that -should happen it will save a%t of j worrying over how it can be ( brought about by congress, which . ..is about as impossible as was proven by the farm board the past two or three years. * — The governor has the right idea. He wants the legislature to economize in every way they can but he insists that benevolent and .educational institutions must continue to serve their purpose and to I care for the rights of his people. His inaugural address and his message to the legislature were splendid and deserved the cheers winch followed. That fifty bill request of Governor McNutt has already gone glimmering as was to be expected. In the house yesterday afternoon, thirty-four were dropped into the hopper and the number was sent whirling up towards a hundred today. Members seem to feel they must present bills to please their constituents, though they - k Jwk You can borrow up to $.300 from us in any of these ways; 1.

Whoever it was that turned the | monument stones over at the WemI host Monumental Works had bet- ■ ter stop such practice or they wiP • be in for a fancy fine and prison sentence for destroying property. >! Several of the monuments were damaged and it is estimated that i | the owners suffered a loss of SSO to SIOO. The lead slugs under the monuments were stolen and it is ■ not this item that the owners cotn- . plain about, but the damage to the stones. Stay away from the place 1 and you'll not get in trouble. __ The decision of a local theater proprietor to bar the showing of commercial advertising slides is not only commendable but alsolutely correct and ethical. People go I to the theater to be entertained and see a certain picture. Advertisements should be confined to

iiseiueuis siiuuiu ue cuuuuvu lv -newspapers or magazines that subscribers purchase, both for the news and advertisements, bargain saving announcements and shopping sug- • gestions. They are just as much I a part of the newspaper as the front page a.nd then too if the I reader isn’t interested he can skip ! over them and no time is lost. A plan for distributing beer in Indiana ba.-, been worked out and a bill will be passed by the legislature regulating its sale and guaranteeing against the open saloon. That will at leant be one thing new for 1933 and the txperi--1 ments to be tried in the different ! states will be watched with interest. One thing everyone wants is | strict control. States are looking i to the revenue raising medium ex- , tended through the sale of beer and in some places they hope to balance the budget, extend relief, aid schools and build roads from the new tax. Governor McNutt is olf to a great start. His first message to the legislature yesterday left no doubt as to what he felt was best. You may not agree with him and the legislature may not follow his suggestions but you will always know that he was courageous enough to ably and clearly state his position and we are sure that on most of his points he will have the support of the great majority of people. Governor McNutt is a leader and has all the qualifications for an executive of a great state like Indiana. We wish him well and we believe his administration will find favor with the people.

Mary Pickford proposes to solve her own future problems MkUUHJW ‘IB 1 and to make a ''' good business MBs* investment by Up signing three z, well known lead- K * ir.s men to long ’ term contracts The three she 8 W has in mind are E Sd Charles (Bud- ® W* dy) Rogers, ML, Charlie Farrell Uff and Johnny 9 Mack Brown. gk , Like all of Mary’s ’plans. this deal been brought to a halt by the PSsF death of Jack Pickford, but she will go on Mary with it as soon Pickford as she returns to her studio problems. It is not only Mary who has experienced difficulty along these lines. Just a few weks ago, R-K-0 was trying frantically to find a suitable vis-a-vis for Constance Kennett. And readers of this column will recall the endless juggling before Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer finally was able to borrow Gary Cooper for the Joan Crawford picture. Hollywood is really crying for handsome young men—but the hitch is they must have established followings. Mary figures that Buddy Rogers, Charlie Farrell and Johnny Mack Brown fulfill this qualification. She believes she could easily keep them busy at other studios when not using them in her own pictures. The star’s current, film. “Secrets,” is completed. Pending the arrival of Jack’s body she will devote little time to film activities.

I would certainly meet with no mer- • cy, gave them sudden pause. Here was something they had over-; ■ looked. There was no argument by, which he could have made a [ stronger appeal to their sympathy.; And then, suddenly, Wogan came, sliding through them. He had comei from cover with several fellows at. his heels, intent as most of the men| ; were intent upon making a scape-, I goat of de Bemis; intent that., -since destruction perhaps awaited; most of them, de Bemis should ccr-i tainly not escape, but should be the i first to pay. And there he stood, tall and lanky, threshing the air with his long arms in his excitement as he ■ poured forth his venom. "Let him talk as he pleases, it's Topgallant Charley we've to thank for this. It was he brought us here! It’s his fault, so it is, that we’re caught with never a keel under us: trapped like rats in a gin, and help less at the mercy of Morgan!” He flung out an amusing arm. so that ! his hand almost struck Monsieur de Bernis in the face. “It's Char- . ley’s doing! Bad cess to him!’’ > With that he thought to destroy de Bemis, and might Fave destroyed any man less prompt and resolute. As it was. anc as he vva presently to learn, he merely supplied de Bernis with a weapon at once defensive and offensive

wiive ueicusive aiiu ouensive. Before the rage which Wogan fanned in those wild ruffianly souls’ could blaze forth, de Bernis was; answering him. and by tone and! manner and very words was compelling attention. “Will you make a scapegoat of me for your own blundering incompetence. you lubberly oaf?" He paused upon that question which struck Wogan dumb with amazement and arrested the attention of all. Then, with an increas ing vehemence, with a simulation of indignation, he went on to scarify the Irishman. “If we are helpless as you sav, the fault lies between you and that dead cut-throat Tom Leach whose worthy lieutenant you are. If either ( of you had known anything of your I trade, there would be guns em i placed on that bluff with which to have given Morgan a warm wcl- 1 come.” Again he paused, and this time no fear of interruption made him hurry tn resume.
