THE PATRONAGE QUESTION: Since the new state aduiinistrali ui assumed power two months ago its leaders have been besieged by thousands seeking appointment to positions in the government of the state. What is true in Indiana * is also a condition that exists nattoiully. Word from Washington is! to the effect that thousands of applications have been sent to United States Senator VanNuys and many have even spent good money! going to him there in quest of appointment. Os course, the economic situation "ith its accompanying avalanche e» unemployment in Indiana as well a: in every state is directly re-' sponsible for this condition. Even! in normal times, a change of any . governmental administration is certain to have its parade of job seekers, many of them imbued with the hope of getting a so’ft snap of easy work, short hours and good remuneration. The new administration in Indi ' ana is confronted with problems! tll.it are of far greater importance right now than patronage alone.; I hat must be taken care of natur-! a ly, but it is not the outstanding i . concern of the day. Governor McNutt had the banking problem thrown into his lap right in the midst of the most important sess- i ion of file legislature ever held in Indiana. Tiiat lias taken ever bit! of his time and under his guidance there is now favorable light on the I hanking question. Appointments to posit ions with the stale government are import-j ant only as they reflect to the ultimate welfare of the people in general. This demands that the selec- 1 lions he made with the utmost care' and keenest consideration. Ob ' viously, this requires times and it! was for that reasou that the Gov-| *M*nor was granted more than three months to complete the reorganizatiou of the system of state govern-! ment. If the administration is to 1 lie successful it is essential that 11 the workers be capabale to fill the places for which they are select ed. Patronage does not involve any j -of tlie principles of a political! party. If those principals are right they will react to the benefit of' the people and. utler all, that is the' chief interest Involved. The sixty new state policemen will have full authority to arrestj all law violators, instead of only ! violators of highway laws. Now if 1 they would do away with a lot of | other state officers with police pow- 1 era, such as game wardens, insur-l ance departmen' agents and others! it would help our state finances.! We know there will be a big howl from hunters and fishermen at this suggestion, but there is no more reason for a game warden than there is for special policemen for

| dozens of other violators. Other ! states do not have a half dozen j brands of policemen with limited authority. The better states have one state police force with unlimit- ; ed authority and that is what Indiana needs instead of the crazyquilt force it lias been maintaining all these years. The new police- ■ men will get sll9 a month, which is less than paid the ordinary policemen in Newcastle. — Newcastle Courier-Times. — The cities along the Clover Deaf railroad are organizing to prevent if possible the diverting of freight traffic over other lines, thus effecting many employes. We hope that by some plan this splendid railway line can arrange to continue their business over the old route. In tears last it has been one of the great rail roads of the middle west and for years Decatur was known as one of its leading shippers. Attend the Chamber of Commerce meeting this evening. Efforts to put on a special Community Day will be discussed and we believe you will be in hearty accord with the plan. A local institution proposes to put on the event and ask only the moral support of the business men. These are always worth while affairs and are pleasant and i profitable for every one concerned. There are 2.105 farms in Adams county with a total acreage of 201,i 699 acres, according to the statistics just published. That's quite a rural territory and the fact that we raised 44,776 acres in corn, over 30.00(1 acres of oats. 15,000 of i wjjeat, 8.000 acres of hay and 7,700 j acres of soybeans, gives indication ■ our farmers were busy. This year we will add several thousand acres of sugar beets. Michigan, one of the dryest states iu the Union, voted wet four to one while Wisconsin which has long been known as the wettest 'state m America only favored repeal by a two to one vote. If you can figure how and why votes are i cast, you are a good guesser If by any chance you should get l bold of any gold or gold certificates between now- and the 28th of the month, von must turn it in by May ; Ist. The President has just issued a new order to that effect and emphasizes the importance of your doing so. A sister airship to tlie Akron, known as the Macon will soon be ready for launching, but it is likely that no new ones will be constructed even if it gets away. Spending 1 mil.ions on one of these death traps 1 >oks about as foolish as any I , thing l his government ever did. If the President succeeds now in making a holiday for the job seek- | ers, he will have accomplished as j much or more as he did with his bank holiday. And we think lie will do it. The slate of Indiana has taken in more than a hundred thousand j dollars for beer permits, which improbably takes care of some of the “Xtras as well as some of the deficits caused by retrenchment. ! Remember the Chamber of Com ! merce,meeting at eight o'clock to- [ night. of Repeal Blue Laws Madison, Wisconsin April 6 — [Wisconsin repealed its 81 year old •."blue laws" today. The state senile, acting under the in date of a popular vote, loduf massed the repeal measure aud sent I it to Gov. Albert G. Schmedemau, who was expected to sign it.
