Keep faith and busy at work and the morrow will take care of itself. it won't be long now until the; corn-bog contractors receive their I turning loose about 3300,- j 000 in this county. — Ties the alleys clean and the cans I and bottles in boxes or barrels fori the big clean up week. The city ■ forces are being organized and i every effort will be made to make it a good job. President Roosevelt in a talk yesterday referred to the changes in American government and mode ol life as evolution. We are not going through a revolution and there is no danger that we will have a bloody conflict. Along with clean-up week, give a little attention to the yard and general landscaping. Shrubbery and ornamental trees can be purchased very reasonably now and a few dpllars expended will enhance the beauty of your place. A busy day in a new paper office would be if Dillinger was shot the day after the cleetion. when after a night of compiling returns, editors and reporters were exerting ! every effort to get out the regular ■ election edition. Oiie of the reasons that electric lights cannot be kept in the standards on the .Monroe street river bridge is that vandals or lioys knock out the lights. Recent experience has shown that the bulbs I become targets for those who w.teb to destroy them. Progress is being made at the ■ Homestead site, the water and gas mains being installed. A force of -men have been working on the job and it looks like real business. The building of IS houses is not to be laughed at ami for the next several months the site will be one of the busiest places in the community. The Indianapolis baseball season opened yesterday with Mayor Sullivan and Governor McNutt tossing out the first ball. A crowd was there to greet the executives and loth of the former college graduates proved their ability as Babe Ruth;, Lefty Groves, Hubbeis and others. Plans for Youth Week are taking form and committees are busy arranging programs for the 10-day observance. Among the features will be visits by the parents and friends to the schools next week. Parents can well afford to take a little time to call at the schools, the contact with teacher giving them some idea of the responsibility resting with the person who molds our youth. The county election commissionera acted wisely in ordering extra clerks in nine of the voting precincts in the county. It will be

some Job compiling the vote on election night and the extra clerks, one from each party, will facilitate j the task The election commissionJ era also reconi mended flic placing of additional booths and boxes in the precincts. They are giving the Job of getting ready for the primary sincere and thoughtful attention. Proof that conditions are getting better is shown in the activities of the several fraternal organizations in tills city. Lodges are regaining their membership and it will not be long until their rosters are larger than before the period when men were forced to drop out on account of unemployment. Last night the Loyal Order of Moose initiated a < lass of 32 members and applications are on tile for about that many more. The B. P. O. Elks have extended the hand of friendship to about 50 men in the last few mouths and the Knights of Columbus are planning an initiation for next month, expecting a class of more than fifty. Fellowship is one of the finest things in life and fraternal organizations offer the opportunity to meet your fellow citizens. Back of these splendid organizations is the charity work I they do and the helping hand given j to men. women and children.
