The trial of Baker and Cancilia j at Indianapolis will be heard this week according to Proecuting At-j torney Spencer, which will be a good thing. Whatever the the results, it will be best to get it out of the way. Thursday will be Governor’s Day in Decatur at which time this city and county will entertain the chief executive, M. Clifford Townsend and several other state officials. You are invited to join in a welcome to these distinguished visitors. The nearly eight hundred basketball teams have been eliminated down to sixteen to meet next week end and decide on the four champions of the semi finals. Then the following week end will bring the state tournament when the one team will be declared the winner for 1937. It's a series for the fans. Looks like the strikes are ebbing and every good citizen hopes the difficulties will soon be ironed out to the extent that we may go forward steadily without fear of iuteruptions. If this can be arranged you may feel sure of a wonderful several years, in which you will have the opportunity of i recuperating any losses you may have had along about 1929 to 1933. Mr. Baker and Mr. Cancilia are furnishing plenty of headlines for the newspapers and of course they are the kind the political opponents like. If a sufficient tight among members of the Democratic party and especially those holding important office, can be worked up or if the public can be made to feel the party is divided, it will be easier to widen the chasm next year when a campaign is on. That's something to think about while reading the reports. A number of local merchants have planned to open their stores Thursday evenings during the summer months and to not increase the number of working hours in the week, will close Wednesday after-; noons. At the present time many of the merchants, especially those in groceries and meat shops devote seventy hours a week to their work, making a rather long week

When changing address to another town, | always give present address and new address.

i and not in tune with the present 1 general ideas of shorter weeks. The plan announced here seems a very reasonable one to meet all demands including those of the *• public, which of course are being t considered flrst. t Professional men here have for ' the past several years taken an afternoon off each week, a holiday they are certainly entitled to but I I several suggestions have come to ) us that the physicians especially • be asked to arrange a schedule ? whereby some of them will be on I duty and available in case of em \ergencies during the half days. 'We are not attempting to campaign for this but only passing it lon to the doctors whom we know will take such action as they deem best. They are the best soldiers we know of, working day and night constantly and often without reward for the benefit of the people of the community, who never have and never will fail in their duties. Guesses on the result of the Supreme Court contest are about even. Every one agrees the president's desires will carry in the house but the result in the senate will probably be close. The only thing we know to do is to sit steady in the boat and await results. This nation will go on either way, regardless ot the wildl predictions now- being made by' partisans. In the meantime, remember that President Roosevelt is making this fight for you and not for himself. He doesn't want to be a dictator nor want any one else to be. He only wants the people of the United States to be happier. You ought to agree that ; is a splendid ideal. Earl Crawford, banker of Milton, Indiana, former speaker of the' house, chairman of the state highway survey commission, executive secretary to Governor McNutt, in the recent session of the legislature and former I member of the state highway com mission has been appointed by Governor Townsend to succeed James D. Adams as chairman of the highway commission. He is as well qualified as any man in the state and politically has earned the important place. He is a hard I worker, knows his business and will make good. The governor has also named T. A. Discus, superin-, i tendent of schools in Grant county ( to succeed Evans B. Stossenburg on the commission, completing that board. They will do a good job. All good citizens sympathize with Governor Townsend when he is called on to pass on pleas for clem- i ency, and all respect him for the stamina that enabled him to re-1 fuse to commute a. death sen-; fence. It is no easy thing to have to refuse the appeals of the rel-1 atives of a criminal. The Gover! nor said he felt sorry for the boy j himself and more sorry for the sister and others in the family. He ' also felt sorry for the relatives of' the killer's victim. It is no easy' thing for jurors to vote a death , sentence. They, too, are entitled to sympathy and praise. After; they have heard the evidence and decided that the accused merits the extreme penalty provided by! the law, they should be backed up| by the state. The Governor was I merely doing an unpleasant duty when he declined to veto all that had been accomplished in the courts of justice. The unfortunate weakness of clemency systems is the inclination of those in charge to upset the work of the courts. Parole officials are too prone to consider only the plea of the petitioner. They forget why the prisoner is serving sentence and all that the prosecutors, jurors and judges have done to get him where he is. Their readiness to veto the acts of the agencies of justice tends to diminish respect for law, to say nothing of often turning back on society those from whom it should be protected.—lndianapolis Star. o Trade In a Good Town — Decatur
