The price of hogs continues upward and of course bacon and other products from that animal will trail along. * It's all good for the farmer if he gets what he should. It's life insurance week, a good time to remember that the sooner you plan your future, the easier it will be and the better the returns. The young man should religiously set aside a portion of his income for insurance. “It's smarter to be legal.'' is the slogan adopted by Hugh Barnhart, excise director of the state liquor board. They will insist on the observance of the law and the dealer who does not join them and cooperate is not looking very far forward. After all it won t make a lot of difference whether the Gates crowd or the Watsonites win in the reorganization of the Republican state committee. It will still be Republican, which in these days means conservativeism and that's hard to sell to the voters. Dick Merrill, who skipped over to the coronation in a few hours and then back again to carry a special message to President Roosevelt from Ambassador Gerard and who is the outstanding flyer of this year, will start the Speedway races at Indianapolis on the 31st, adding to a day filled with features of various kinds. Those who are interested in better traffic regulations can help by watching their speol in the city,, especially in the factory and residence districts. As soon as possible the routes will be decided upon for state highways, such ordinances as are deemed necessary will be adopted and then every one cooperating we can boast of traffic regulations in Decatur. Helen Tiernan, a 35-year-old blonde of New York City murdered her daughter and thought she had finished her son and has admitted her guilt, giving as the cause that she needed the room in her apartment for her lover. She must be insane or the most hardened criminal on record. In either case society must see that she is safely out of the way tor life. The date has finally been announced for the wedding of Mrs. Wallis Warfield to the duke of Windsor. It will be June 3rd and will be held in the -Chateau de Cande at Monts, France, with only such guests as have stood by them during their recent trying experience. Well, they are free now and have no one to wbotn they have to appeal for permission. Even Mr Baldwin and the archbishop are out as far as they are concerned. It will soon be over and they will be just folks. Justice Willis Van Devanter. who has resigned from the Supreme Court of the United States,

I first to.take advantage of the law. which provides that judges may j retire at seventy with full pay, was; a native of Marion, Indiana, and is well known by many Hoosiers. He went to Wyoming when a young man and was appointed to the supreme bench by President Taft. He is recognized as one of AmerI ica's greatest jurists and has always been known as a conserva . tive. The judiciary committee of the senate has finally mustered the courage to return a report ten to 1 eight against President Roosevelt's 1 request for a change in the Supreme Court. There are those who shout that a great victory but we doubt it. Since the question has been up. the court has been far] more lenient that before and one member has resigned. After it's all over and done, the President will have what he started out to , get, a court in tune with the progress now being made in whipping the depression and improving the general condition of American citizens. Milwaukee had the lowest death rate from traffic causes in the i United States. And that's no accident for this is the sixth consecutive year they have held that record. Those who have investigated have discovered the reason is violators cannot fix the officials, either by pull or bribe. Tb« cops arrest those who fail to stop at the' signs or who exceed the speed limits and when they appear in* court, they get fined or punished in accordance with their misdemeanor. It works there and it will work where ever it is tried. Needless to pass ordinances and then wink at those who do not obey them. The Northern Indiana Public Service Company which furnishes this and other communities in this section with artificial gas will ask permission to change to natural gas, using the large mains built through this section last year. This undoubtedly would mean low-f ler rates and better service, two aids that would be greatly appreciated by the many users of this utility. The company has-fer many years rendered excellent service here considering the high cost of producing artificial gas and we are sure they can be depended up m to give the people of Decatur the lowest cost possible under good business which would be required by the public service commission. It will be interesting however to watch the progress of this step. A Chicago business man is sued ' for 33.000 damages by his wife bej cause she was injured in an automobile accident attributed by her to his refusal to heed her protests against speed. This is a dramatic "back seat driving" development. Some courts have held that a driver who refuses to let "back seat driving” influence him is especially responsible for injuries to passengers. In some instances the ruling has been that passengers make themselves liable when they become passengers: that is, they imply willingness to assume the i inherent risks. The Chicago case is unique because the woman is suing her husband. It has frequently been suggested informally that “back seat driving” when done ; by the husband of the wife of the real driver is one of humanity's major afflictions. Counsel for the husband in the Chicago litigation may argue that repetition had made the defendant' apathetic when advice came from the back ■ scat. An interesting question is whether the court will permit the woman to testify against her husband. The status of a wife in the . law may be subject to various ini terpretations.—South Bend Tribune. —o *' ! U TWENTY YEARS * AGO TODAY | From the Daily Democrat File ■ ♦,,—.—, .
