Reading a trade journal, wt found out that we overlooked prune week during October Ah well! The Indian summer season is coining to a close and most of us arc sorry wc can t do anything about it. An lowa woman, mother of seven children, killed five of them and herself with a shot gun. Such a grim tragedy is not understandable. The only reason ascribable is that the woman went insane. She left a note saying that the other two children were spared because she ran out of bullets For the protection of pedestrians. a sidewalk should be built along North Second street to the sugar factory site. Hundreds of people have to use the side of the road in walking to the factories and in view of the heavy trathe, it is cangerous. A walk can be constructed on either side of the road and action should be taken bc-fori a truck runs into someone and flattens him out. The Miami Herald has been sold for a price said to be more "than two million dollars." That's a tidy sum for a newspaper plant, which more than likely includes its building. Around about 1939. someone put’ a price of seven million dollars on the same property. Its publisher. Frank B. Shutts, is a form or Indiana man, and is one of the leading newspaper met. in the country. He contributed his bit to the development and growth of the magic southern city. The state law which fixes a minimum tine of S2OO tor persons convicted of possession of untaxed I liquor may be a little severe, but' it's the law and only the legisla lature, which enacted It. can change'it. The law was designed to curb bootlegging and the fines are in keeping with the licenses which the state collects from licensed dealers in the beer ami liquor business. The theory is that if anyone wishes to engage t’.i the business, they should pay a license and run a ligitimate place of trade, or else pay a heavy fine for violating the law. Legal notice has been given that the school hoard will receive bids for the razing and removing of file old Central school building, up to and including Nov. 16. The notice includes the condition • that the 1 building must be removed within 50 days of awarding the contract, which time limit would bring it up to about the first of the year. No doubt a wrecking company, equipped with tools and equipment and with a sufficient force of men can do the razing in that time. It won't be long now until the old landmark is removed and a new. modern and efficient school plant is erected. New York Michigan and Ohio were among the states where city ! — i

and congressional elections were I held today Chief interest seems to center on the outcome of the mayoralty contests in New York and Detroit and in the silk stockIng congressional district In New York. Bruce Barton, famous advertising writer and author, is making an individual campulgn for election and if be can sell himself to the voters with the same degree of effectiveness that he does merchandise. he should win easily. LaGuardia seems to hold the lead in the mayoralty race, while in Detroit the tight has been waged on labor factions Congressman Louis Ludlow, whose district includes most of Indianapolis. has made an appeal to working men of the country to sup port his campaign for a national referendum before American soldiers can be sent out of the United States to tight on foreign soil. "The working men of America are the nation's potential cannon fodder, warns Mr. Ludlow "and no war could be fought without them. When a little group in Washington lecidt ■ time ha? <ome to tight in a foreign war. the working men are conscripted and regimented for foreign service and off they go. They have no voice or vote in the matter, or his sweetheart if he is unmarried, and his father and mother can only look on with bleeding hearts while he is torn from his home and sent into the hell of foreign eot’flict. for they, too. have nothing to say about it." Mr. Ludlow doesn't paint a very pleasant picture, but war isn't a pleasant thing. Mmli is to be said for the sug-, gestion of . x President Hoover < that there be a Republican party i convention before the next con , < gressioual election for the purpose of writing a new platform for that party. It is important that there be a strong minority party, in a two-party government. It is important. even more urgent, that the minority party stand for something. The summons is a confession that the platform on which Landon was a candidate in 1936 will not hold up even a very sick elephant. So the men who claim title to the Republican party must scrap the principles of a forgotten age. They must scrap its appeals . for tariff, its glittering generalities on labor, its boast that it set free the Negroes, its thinly disguised pledges to special privilege. The old tricks no longer work The platform, laboriously built in con ferences. is found worthless, in two years it has lost all meaning and all significance. They do not dare to go into another election, with nothing more to otter. So what they want and need, are new j principles, new issues, new pledges L ♦.
