It’s going to be a good one. Autumn is here in all its color jind this is the week when you can 2get many thrills by driving out in . ihd country. A Uttle boom has started to make Dan Flannigan of Fort Wayne Reiffiblican state chairman .-and he would no doubt prove a -very good man but Dau don’t mistake, it would be any thing but a Tpleasmu or profitable or successful task. ffie — Indications are that the big in--dustries will know what the labor -situation is to be for the year 1938 Zbefore they enter into contracts Xfor increased production or construction of new buildings, which "may account for some of the dull“ness in the east just now. The world series was not the howling success that it would have t -been if the teams had been from cities and the skill of the .individual players nearer equal. “Probably less money was lost by "ihose who like to gamble on sport "results, than for many years. » Governor Townsend is doing his .best to solve labor problems and Tto secure compromises in alternations between the men who work “and those who employ them and “Tip to date has had the greatest —success of any executive in the eu- •» Aire country. He is fair and square -and those representing each side that. Most people would be tickled pink if those Chinks would wake up and give the Japs a trouncing • that would do more to stop them than any thing the League of Na~4ions can possibly do. Never stop those Japanese by threats or promises. It will take such a defeat as _to convince them they can't at-' tain their objectives. The casualties over the week end were even larger than usual, getting away with a start of a -dozen in Indiana on Friday. With a million cars owned by Hoosiers and thousands of visitors daily, -the problem is a difficult one. We .-shudder to think what the toll Tw-ould be if a constant fight to ..make every one be careful, was to Tai ter. - The strikers over the nation "should realize that conditions are not very good for such action. If -labor and capital had worked to--gether the past year instead of we would now be well on -the way to permanent prosperity -but after mouths of wrangling the "situation is any thing but pleasiug. .Industry will not plan to extend its„self as long as it feels labor is unfair or that it can not earn a profit on the investments. — A local program on highways is "necessary if we are to cooperate ,and get the most possible aid from -the state highway commtabion. It's time now to ko to work on that for

i next year and for 1939. Farm to market roads are to be improved by federal aid. state roads will be paved, we need some improvements ', on 37 and 221, as well as on the other nighways of the county and we should see that Adams county gets her full share of the annual I expenditures. Let's get busy. — Plan to join the Calithumpian parade here on Hallow'een. It's a lot of fun and you should cut loose one night a year and be a youngster again by joining them in a hilarious letting off of stdam. If you don't care to masquerade, don't miss getting a good place to watch them march by. You can get a lot of laughs and you know that's the beat remedy for whatever ails you that nature has. Because the date falls on Sunday this year, the parade will be the evening of Monday. November Ist. The Garr brothers at Shelbyville. Ky.. should have no specia privileges under the law. The; killed General Denhardt, whoir they believed had murdered their sister and did it in plain view. In other words they decided not to take any chances on the law pun ! ishing the man who had so injured them. Public opinion was with! them and one of the brothers even failed to appear for arraignment. Judge Marshall, in whose court | they must appear, seems to have' awakened to the fact that such a ' course is weakening his prestige | and has taken a firmer stand. They must stand trial the 18th. Its a' rather serious situation when any! family can take the position they I are greater than the law The' jury may free them or make their! punishment light but after all they are murderers. Editorial writers in some of the metropolitan newspapers have been j trying to explain why the slock market went down. One paper in I particular, The New York Times. part of the blame for the stock market decline on |. . . what do you suppose? On the regulatory activities of the securities and exchange commission. This editorial writer ought to duck his head in a bucket of cold water. Somebody should take him and his fellow explainers aside and gently let them in on the secret that there was a 1929, when no SEC existed, and no horrible, regulatory New Deal, and that in that year we had a market crash that was a honey. Worst of all was that business responded immediately to the 1929 crash by collapsing itself. In contrast, the present stock market upset arouses little concern and doesn't even rank as a serious topic of conversation. Mrs. Malcolm Mcßride of Cleveland, personnel chairman-of the Ohio League of Women Voters, talked at a tea of the Indianapolis League of Women Voters, last week. She made the customary plaint about party patronage. She used the words "spoils system,” for they sounded more to her way of thinking. She took it for granted that appointees to public office are inefficient. She assumed, too, that office holders fill many posts with relatives who are unsuitable to the work. Some mistakes are made under the patronage system, naturally, but we cannot see howapplication of the merit system is going to improve conditions. We are against giving persons public jobs because they can pass a written test. It places too much premium on book knowledge without taking into condition common sense, experience and what it in a man's or woman's heart. We believe it is a healthy condition for a public employe-to know that j his party must win for him to retain his job. Then he is going to do 'his level best to make his parly's administration efficient and deserving. We are against lifetime jobs for a class which turns up its nose at politics. Many job , holders under the merit system ■ don't take the trouble to vote. We insist that a party win* or loses

DUKE,DUCHESS VISIT GERMANY - >« ~ Duke Os Windsor And Wife Start Tour Os Nazi Germany I Berlin, Oct. 11.-<U,R>—The Duke and Duchess of Windsor arrived today for a tour of inspection of Nasi Germany, with particular reference to industrial housing. home hundreds of persons, mostly women, greeted and chanted "Vindaor! Vindsor!" as the duke and his American horn duchess arrived on their first formal visit since their marriage last June. Dr. Robert Ley. Naxi labor front leader, with members of his staff and M. L. Cresswell, third secretary of the British embassy, greet-| i-d the duke and duchess on their | arrival at Friedrichstrasse station at 8:45 a. m. from Paris. An army aide of Fuehrer Adolf Hitler also was in the welcoming party. Both duke and duchess seemed cheerful and in good health. It was a most quiet arrival, com-’ pared with those such as have greeted other inleruational figures There were none of the usual heavy cordons of storm troopers either at the station or the Kalserhof hotel which is the ducal headquarters. It was Hitler's headquarters during the months before he came to power. Ordinary city policemen handled the good natured welcoming crowds. However, there were lots of photographers and the arrival was broadcast on the radio. The duke and duchess had about I 30 pieces of baggage, of which only two were trunks. Most of the bags were labeled "Duke of Windsor, , | K G. ”—The K. G. for Knight of | the Garter —or "Duchess of Dlndsor.” On the program today, after breakfast which was the first item, were visits to a machine factory in the Marienfelde suburb and to the great Olympic stadium. The duke and duchess are to leave Wednesday for a tour of the country, arranged with the idea of giving them the beat possible view of Germany's entire social and industrial i life. Not only the housing projects ! which the duke wants to see, but coal mines, munitions works, auto- ' mobile, porcelain, textile and toy factories; schools, recretation projects and uew motor highways are on the program. There was some speculation , w.helher, during their visit, the ■ duke and duchess would meet an equally famous couple—Col. and Mrs. Charles A. Lindbergh. The Lindberghs arrived at Munich last night from England in their own plane to attend the ani nual meeting of the Lilienthal aviation society. They are to remain at Munich until Thursday, then come to Berlin for a visit of several days as the guests of Major Truman Smith. American military and air attache. According to the duke's program as arranged, there is little chance of a meeting, for he is to be kept i on the move all during his 12-day visit. He will be in Berlin Thursday. when the Lindberghs are due to leave Munich, but only for a few hours. * Answers To Test Questions Below are the answers to ths Test Questions printed on Page Two ♦ ♦ 1.
