The next month will belong to the football stars as many of the most important games are to be played during that period by the college teams. It s a great sport for those who enjoy it and who have the means of keeping comfortable during all kinds of weather. No doubt millions of dollars will be raised by those who desire to have the government operated to their selfish advantage, but we still don't lielieve they can raise enough, talk enough and print enough misleading statements to cause the people to return to their methods. Just when we. are beginning to believe the war is over, along comes stories of great losses on either side, of how the Ethiopians are enticing the Italians into a death trap and other items of news that makes us wonder just what can be relied upon from that tar distant country where men are fighting each other to the death. Jackie Coogan, who made a million dollars as a child actor and was for years the outstanding youngster has reached his twentyfirst birthday and can handle his own affairs in his own way. Father Time doesn't wait for any one and Jackie like all others has grown up. Now it will be up to him to show that he can make good as a man as he did a boy.

Senator James Eli Watnou re-1 i eeived gifts of $53,000 and $50,000! from a radio executive in 1928-29.. Isn't it wonderful that folks think ■ so much of a public official that bestow cash gifts of this size upon t him? lu addition it is claimed by some that the wily senator also reeeived $150,000 attorney fee. Yaw sir, Jim always was for the people. ; . Eddie Rickeubacker is chairman of a committee which is now rais i ing funds for a Bill Rogers memI orial and inviting those who ad- ’ mired this great American to give I what they wish, it’s a tine work | i for a wonderful man but Bill needs ' no memorial during the present generation other than the memories of the delightful hours he furnished millions in his talks and writings and pictures. Bids for the building of the SIOO,OOO school building at Geneva will be received November 18th i and no doubt a number of contractors will participate. The new structure, we are assured by the architect and others who know . about the plans .will be modern' and in every way convenient so that the students may receive the ( most out of their school days. It is important that attention be! given to the matter of the road letting on 224 between Decatur and Magley. Promises of a hard, surface road, concrete if i>ossible . under the bids, have been made' and we are depending upon them. However it will be Well to show j a continued interest until the con- ‘

tract is actually let. Let’s see i that we get the kind of a highway to which we are entitled. It seems that those of the old underworld gangs aie being revived on the slot machine business. These little gambling devices are bad enough at best and certainly if they are to be handled by the | killer gangs, detinitc and immedi iate steps to put them entirely out | of business should be taken. Why I do they permit them to be nuinufactured since it is against the law to operate them in every state in the Union excepting Nevada? “Alfalfa Bill" Murray, former! governor of Oklahoma is back of • a new movement —there is always | oue on in this country —to “tax ■ the tax caters." Bill seems to be mad because congressmen are ex-1 empt from state and federal in-| come taxes and argues that's not, equality. He is also after municipal light and water plants and thinks they ought to pay just the same as competitors. Any way its l something to keep the Oklahoman busy and perhaps furnish him suflicient reeompelise that he can pay his own taxes. o .

PRISON HEADS HEAR McNUTT Indiana Governor Speaks At National Convention Today Atlanta, Oa„ Oct. 28.—<U.R>— Haphazard sentencing methods, Inade quate information by parole boards and courts, and lack of expert personnel in prisons were blamed today by Gov. Paul V. McNutt of Indiana for criticisms heaped upon parole systems. Speaking before the annual congress of the American Prison Association here. Governor McNutt cited inconsistencies in sentences and improper training in penal institutions as the major factors in the nation s high criminal rate. "The more effective parole can come only with better understanding of the particular duties and responsibilities of parole authorities.” the governor said. "They cannot be expected to overcome the bungling of the prison management.” Citing John Dillinger. Indiana's notorious criminal, as a “classic example," McNutt pointed out that the one-time gang leader's criminal life could be traced to the fact that a haphazard method was used in his original sentence. “Dillinger’s associate in his first crime was a recidivist and naturally deserved a heavier penalty. Dillinger, hdwever, was given a flat 10-year sentence on a robbery charge, while the associate received a mild, indeterminate sentence. "The differentiation naturally embittered Dillinger against society. A mistake of the court probably made Dillinger what he was." The governor advocated establishment of central sentencing courts where criminals and mis demeanents would be sentenced Such a court would have at its dis ponal ample technical assistance to determine the most appropriate penalty, he said. "Another alternative would Im to abolish minimum and maximum sentences and create a strong cen tral parole authority which would study the criminal and with the assistance of the prison adminis tration, determine the time of par ole,” he said. Attacking personnel of prisons McNutt said many institutions an suffering from low standards am professional training of its guard; and instructors. Insufficient sal aries also is handicapping effi cient administration of prisons, h< said. “Parole should be placed on i scientific and psychopathic basis Parole boards and commissions art
