This is Indiana corn growing weather. Without this hot weather you couldn’t enjoy roasting ears in a few weeks. Governor Townsend pleads with the Youngstown steel company officials to accept peace terms and j put their men back to work. The governor proceeds on the assumption that most troubles have to be settled sometime, so why not get ■ together now and do it and avoid further suffering. Allen county will have a woman auditor, the commissioners electing Mrs. Ortlieb, widow of William Ortlieb who died a week ago. She will fill the unexpired term of her husband. Two of the county commissioners are seriously ill and the election had to be held at the home of one of the board members, the other getting up from a sick bed to cast his vote. An unpatriotic thrust has been made by a congressman at President Roosevelt, relative to the latter’s income tax report. Everybody knew the congressman was trying to make political capital with his remarks and cause trouble. President Roosevelt would not evade his just tax and for anyone to make a public charge of that nature seems un-American to say the least. 11l health forces Senator George Morris of Nebraska to leave Washington and take a needed rest. A leader in the senate and a man of great power and sincerity his presence will be missed.

capital city. He Is a liberal and has fought for social legislation ull bis life. Citiaens in the southwest part of ’ town register complaints again about the dust they allege comes j from the clay house at the tile factory. On certain days, dependJ ing on the direction of the breeze, | the condition is worse than others ! and residents have protested about 1 it. The factory is running full tilt and it is encouraging to have industries which figuratively raise the dust, but in this case it seems literally true. Industry has always cooperated with local people and set a high standard in plant management and in all probability the present condition at the tile plant will be adjusted as soon as it is called to the company's attention. Civil works commissioner Ralph I Roop is investigating the condition of the old cisterns built under the streets at •certain strategic points in the city and used years ago as reservoirs for a water sup ply in case of fire. They were constructed before the day of building the city water works. The basins were never filled and are partly filled with water. The walls are strong, but there is danger of gas forming in the cisterns and it is the opinion that the holes should be filled. The cisterns recall the i days of the bucket brigades and interviews with several of the older , “city dads’’ reveal a romantic story on how DecTTur fought fires 50 years ago. The origin of the Improved order of Red Men dates back to the founding of this country in 1776. The present fraternal order is the i outgrow: h of the patriotic societies which flourished in the revolutionary period. The societies also were prominent in 1812 and a century aI go at a conference of the Great i Council held in Maryland the Im- • proved order of Red Men was esti ablished. The lodges throughout the country carry on a program aiding the widows and orphans of 1 former members and in the name of true charity go silently about ’ in performing their duty. The carr dinal principles of the lodge are >, Freedom, Friendship and Charity ’ and its objective is to preserve the traditions, history and customs of ! ! the Indian race —the original Am- ’ erican people. Pocotaligo Tribe No. 203 in this city has functioned as ! one of the enthusiastic tribes in the great order and its members are to be congratulated on their ' | fraternal spirit. • WHERE “MEN ARE MEN’’ - The effective East may have • sulking, cowardly, dope-using bau- ', djts and gangsters, but out in the ’ West a few survivors remain of ' i that heroic, quit"-shooting period ! ' when “men were men.” A veteran -of those days when life depended on the speed of the draw was halled into an Arizona court on charges of drawing a gun in the , course of an argument. The defendant was a 74-year-old prospector whose seamed face bore evidence of the searing heat of many summers and the swirling blasts of wintry blizzards. One may ) sense the outraged dignity of the i old-timer as he defended the slur on Iris honor. He told the court: "No siree!” If I'd pulled a gun the accuser wouldn’t be here now. There's smoke whenever I draw a gun.’’ The evident sincerity of that statement convinced the court and a fine was suspended. s There rpoke the best traditions I of the plains. Many bad “hombres” . infested the West before law finI . ally was established, but there ( were men who drew only when , justified by circumstances an il [ whose avenging guns commanded , j respect of the outlaws. Few could i achieve the success of two gun , i Bill Hart, famous terror of evildoers in the days of the silent : screen drama. But a somewhat | modest counterpart may exist in i the Arizona prospector whose t I boast is the fact that whenever he 1 draws. there s smoke.—lndianapolAI is Star. «
