THE NEW SUPREME COURT: Within a week alter assuming his duties as a member of the Indiana Supreme Court one ot the newest judges issued an opinion that has been on the docket of the court for almost six years. There is nothing unusual in rulings being issued by the Supreme Court judges, but it is startling that one of the newest members of the, court has gotten to work so rapidly . In fact, it was so startling 1 that the incident attracted statewide attention and was given considerable publicity. Tlte higher courts of the state are peculiarly situated in respect i to their contacts with the people. of the state. Everybody realizes ’ there is a state Supreme Court and l a state Appellate court but few, pay any attention to what those courts do. Unless one has been | involved in a lawsuit that reaches i one of the higher courts it has 1 seemed wasted time to bother what I the courts are doing. As a result of this condition the ' higher courts have drifted into a rut of procrastination. While there is no one who would suggest that the higher courts proceed on a policy of snap judgement, good reasoning argues that there is no cause for any case to pend in any ! •ourt for seven years unless there are unusual circumstances. In the ease just decided by the Supreme l Court judge the element Involved was a charge of assault and bat- ■ tery with intent. It might be argu ' cd that more important cases bad shoved this seemingly unimportant i one aside from time to time, but surely there should have been' some time during that seven years i when the court would have caught! up with its work. If the pace that has been set by ; this new judge is a sample of what ' car. be expected is the future from the Supreme Court, the people of Indiana will pay more attention to | what the court is doing aad they | will be well satisfied that they have 1 made a change and placed on the bench men who are capable of getting things done promptly. The Appellate and Supreme Courts will undoubtedly function well under the new arrangements. Keep smiling and working if you want to get through the days of the old '29 depression. It’s bumping on the bottom now afid the days will soon t>e brighter. Buy a ticket for the annual meeting of the Chamber of Commerce to be held next Monday evening and listen to a fine speech .and join in creating the enthusiasm that is necessary l<> bring prosperity hack.

Reorganization of the Democratic city committees for municipal election primaries will take place i Saturday afternoon, February 25. This was the date fixed by the i Democratic state committee when j i it gathered in Indianapolis to take ! pan in the greatest peace-time political function held in a number of years.. More than a thousand ■ assembled at the party arranged j by the Democratic county chair-| men of the state to honor R. Earl I Peters, state chairman; Mrs. A. I*, iFlynn, state vice-chairman; Mar- , shall Williams, secretary and Amos i Woods, treasurer of the state com- | mittee. Mr. Roosevelt is at work on his , i cabinet. Immediately after elecjtion he announced that he would make no plans until after he had ■ _ concluded his job as governor and , I would not definitely decide upon I , who would be included in his official family until shortly before I March 4th. Now he is down in . la IM arm Springs. Ga., where he is ’ , conferring, thinking and will deicide upon who is to be who. Every one is hoping he will select able, 11 i < aipable and competent men who , will immediately have the confi- i: idence of the public. AtiAouri showed them.
