Charter Member of The Indiana League of Home Dallies. The showers are making splendid pasture and it's good growing weather for those fortunate enough to have their planting done. Now that the city is well cleaned up for spring, how about keeping it that way? A little attention during the summer will keep this the best appearing city in this neck of the woods. The reports from the committee in charge of the proposed supreme court changes, from the senate, sounds like they are becoming a first class sewing circle. No two are in agreement. If the street fair committee could secure General Pershing for a visit here the first week of August, the success of the event would be assured, especially if he would come in the special uniform used in the coronation this week. Ambassador Dodd ought to want to tell those deep, dark secrets he claims to have about an American billionaire who is planning a dictatorship for this nation. If he doesn't he is not the patriot he| should be to hold the high position he does. Otto Hoile, one of the good farmers of Union township says the crops in his section are coming fine and the outlook is for a bumper. Most of his neighbors got their oats in and getting ready for cbrn and beets. He predicts that this will be a big year for the farmer. Each week during this period shows a gain in about every way, business, employment, car loading and bank deposits. Monday starts another six day period when it’s up to you to show yourself and the | public that you can keep un with the rapid pace now set by those ' who do things. Get busy, keep at it and advertise. The quarrel among the Indiana Republican leaders looks foolish to an outsider old enough to remember that the Democrats used to do the same thing and then when the time came to win, the younger fellows stepped in, fired the whole bunch and proceeded to make an organization that Cottld win. The boys ought to understand that all they are doing is holding the old boat together these days. Now an organization has been completely designed to prevent the foreclosure of mortgages on home owner loans. A bill is to be introduced by Senator Copeland of New I York, providing a moritorium, re-1 CHANGE OF ADDRESS Subscribers are requested to give old and new address when ordering paper changed from one address to another.

financing, reduced interest and eliminating personal and defclency judgments. That would be fine of course for the unfortunate mortagor but it scarcely fits the present day program of tightening up on 1 government aid President Roosevelt spent a ; short time in Indianapolis Thursday evening, conferring with ’GovI ernor Townsend and a few others ' of the state administration. During ’ j the day James A. Farley, Demo-1 I cratlc national chairman, conferred 1 with Indiana leaders, joining the president there for the trip to Washington. From what was stated during the visit, the chief executive has not changed his mind and will continue his fight for the people. President Roosevelt has prohibited stock market speculation among the government's employees. 1 That's good policy, not only for them but for the public generally. Speculation in stocks is a business by itself and a very difficult one, requiring close attention and ample capital. No employee can give his best to his work when his mind is on the ticket and whether some particular stock has ■ gone up or down. Those who play the game lose out about ninety-five . per cent of the time. Stay off of' it as times get better and invest in real estate or something that you can see. - _. Possessing a written Constitu-| tion should not lead Americans to the easy assumption that self-gov- i eminent and free Institutions are safely encased therein and impreg- ■ nably preserved for all time. Liberty is not preserved in laws or < even in constitutions. Half a dozlen dictatorships flourish in South I America under constitutions copied from that framed at Philadel-, I phia in 1787. The letter is useful but not sufficient; it is the spirit I that giveth life to liberty. Andthat spirit is preserved ultimately j in the hearts of the people—Christian Science Monitor. Even though the sit-down strik- j es and labor disturbances have 1 slowed up the production of automobiles, the output up to this time j is the largest for any correspondindustry. Ry the same token there < I ing period in the history of the - | is a vast increase in the number of. I accidents and deaths incident to J operating the cars. Despite safety! drives, safety propaganda, safety 1 teaching in schools and some safe-1 ty legislation, the influence on those who drive Recklessly and carelessly, seem to be slight. It is ' predicted that not less than 40,-1 900 lives will be sacrificed in this mad speed rush this year. That's why we, as a community, must meet the situation by providing such traffic rules and regulationsl and routes as will be best for the : general public. Thirty-seven years ago not one' family in a hundred owned a horse ! and buggy, but today three out Of' four have cars. Two families then! had a telephone where there are thirteen now. Less than half a i million homes had electricity. To-1 day twenty-one million homes are I wired: seven million families own I electric refrigerators; twenty-two million have radios. And this, don’t forget, is only rhe begining. The wonders of the past forty years! will appear insignificant when com-j pared with those of the next forty. Let us prepare for growth. The' > supply of materials that will en-' i rich life for the millions is unlimI ited. People will bring those ma-| terials into use when users become I aware of their need for them. Hnw ! can anyone lack faith in a nation I that offers so many adventures i and such rich rewards’—Linotype I Shining Lines.
