Charter Member of The Indiana League of Home Dailies. The supreme court seems to be about as divided on the Guffey bill as the population. Yesterdays de- ■ cision had just a bare majority of I five. Three others dissented while! Chief Justice Hughes wrote his own opinion. . The May showers are making i the crops spring up and the farm-1 ers are farther ahead with their' work than for a good many years ' past. It the present seasonable weather continues the outcome should be most satisfactory. The week-end toll of automobile■ accidents was not as large as those' of the previous ones. Can it be' that more folks are trying to be; careful? After all thats the only ; cure until such time when cars are governed to a speed of less than , that necessary to win a speedway race. Adams county was a hundred years old yesterday, that being the i anniversary of the exact date on which the entry was made by the commissioners, but all during the year 1836 the organization was being completed and the celebration on any day the next several months is quite in line. The U. S. court of appeals holds the resettlement administration unconstitutional, leaving some doubt as to the exact position of the Decatur homestead. Well, its here and the addition will no doubt continue to prosper and provide a happy place for the occupants to reside, so what's to worry about? Railroads announce several trains between Los Angeles and Chicago which cover that distance in forty hours. Stream lined cars and engines make for time and comfort and the roads have finally awakened to the fact that if they expect to continue in business they must be aggressive and progressive. Decatur sent a representative delegation to the Lion's state convention in Fort Wayne, the caravan led by a handsome float carrying a life sized imitation king of the beasts,properly decorated and most attractive. The local club Is a live organization and the members include the progressive and active men of affairs necessary to carry on the splendid work of this service fraternity. CHANGE OF ADDRESS Subscribers are requested to give old and new address when ordering paper changed from one address to another. F|>r example: If you change your address from Decatur R. R. 1 to Decatur R. R. 2, instruct us to change the paper from route one to route two. When changing address to another town, always give present address and new address.

The Portland Daily Suu in a i front page editorial announces their choice for governor to be M. Clifford Townsend, giving us the reasons that he is the choice of practically every Democrat in Jay ; county, lias a fine character, disposition and an experience valuable as chief executive, is the best man to continue the splendid program now placing Indiana first in the nation and his nomination will insure the election of the entire ticket. A high pressure salesman, trying to sell tickets to a benefit dance, crashed a wedding anniversary party in a Chicago tavern. He persisted to the extent that someone lost his head and shot the enthusiastic agent to death. We know a fellow feels like taking that course of proceedure sometimes but after all the perpetrator will probably find getting himself out of this scrape more annoying than listening to the windy talk of a ticket salesman. The hand of' death has removed ' from the political arena one of the I leaders in every contest held in ; Illinois the past two or three decades. Len Small, twice governor and five times candidate for that office, strong leader of a big faci tion of Republicans in his state, 1 died suddenly of a heart attack, ' following an operation not believ--1 ed serious and from which he was i supposed to be recovering. He was indicted some years ago while ■ state treasurer on the charge that ■ he was using the funds to buy! ■ packing house securities which ; paid seven per cent while he re- ; turned only two per cent to the ; treasury. He was acquitted and I ■ later elected governor. Whatever | 1 his faults, it must be admitted he I was a fighter. T. E. (Popi Meyers, general manager of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, who of all men in Indii ana ought to know something about I speed, is an advocate of safe and sane driving on the streets and highways. He told members of the Indiana Associated Press a few ‘ days ago that the casualties on the Speedway are insignificant coni- | pared with the toll exacted on our I highways. Sixty miles an hour on i the highways is too fast, he be-1 lieves, not because the cars are not mechanically capable of running at this rate, but because drivers cannot control them when emergencies arise. The man who drives between forty and fifty miles an hour will make as good time on a trip as the motorist who drives at sixty and seventy miles. Mr. Meyers is an advocate of safety on the highways. Improvement in the present menacing situation will come largely through education of motorists and stringent penalties for careless driyers, according to Mr. Meyers. Reckless and careless drivers should heed the advice of a man who heads an organization which puts on one of the speed classics of the country. o Answers To Test Questions Below are the answers to the Test Questions printed on Page Two ♦ —— 4 1- Cbraunic. 2 Lithuania. 2.

* STATE PERSONALITIES Elective And Appointive Officer* of Indian*. Probation Director F DR. FRANCIS D. McCABE Director of the State Probation Division Indiana lias a probation system that is second to none in the effective work it does in saving erring youth from the hardening in-, fluences of penal servitude. This I system is directed by Dr. Francis D. McCabe, an Episcopal minister, I with the cooperation of ninetythree local probation officers in sixty-one counties of the state. The Indiana probation system is not confined alone to the salvation of wayward boys and girls, but also works among adults who have committed offenses of not too drastic nature against the laws of society. I.ast year 3.133 children were placed on probation in Indiana by I juvenile courts and the results of the sympathetic guidance given by the state are disclosed when it is known that only 150 of these children failed to make good. Over a period it is observed that only 4.7 per cent of the children on probation fail to redeem themselves. Last year, also, the probation sys-' tern had 9,113 adults under its care.: All except 286 made good. And it is observed over a period that the ' percentage of adult failures is 3.1. If it were not for the Hoosier [ probation system, some 12,000 pro-; bgtioners would be confined to j

penal and correctional Institutions adding more than $3,000,000 to the upkeep of these Institutions, The system not only saves this money and redeems thousands of mon, women and children each year, but is operated at the actual small not | cost of only $24,853. Governor Paul V. McNutt recentjly praised this division of state government which takes charge of erring persons before they have been committted to penal or correctional institutions. He said: "It is my opinion that the fatal policy of imposing long sentences upon young boys and girls, first offenders, who in moments of weakness succumbed to temptation and ran afoul of the law, has resulted in the development of hardened crim inals, responsible in a large measure for crime in this country."
