Fred Haya, new Democratic state , chairman, Is starting a program to end all friction within the party, a commendable move and a wise one. Baseball fans will soon be able to learn how good or how bad the numerous sales and trades in the major leagues were during the winter months. Adams comity ought to have a McNutt for President club with several thousand members. Other counties are doing it and meeting with wonderful success. Col. Lindbergh has arrived for a series of important conferences in Washington He knows much about prospects for war in Europe and will tell the authorities in Washington about it. _____ Perhaps that wea'her prophet who many years ago established a pi<d:>.uou that >am uu Easter meant showers on sis succeeding Sundays, knew his auu post better than we have credited him with. Baseball managers can continue to predict victory for another few days, but it's hits and runs that count and words mean but little in the final score that will provide the participants of the ueat world series. Another week opens and aprmg is here. Merchants tell your cuslomenf what you have that they I will want for thia happy season Invite them to trade with you by using the columns of ibis paper liberally. There are fifteen thousand more people <>u WPA lu Indiana now. notwithstanding the dismissal of 7,000, than there were a year ago. That's start ling enough to make any one wonder why and to Inquire what the maximum will be. Ray E. Smith, editor of the Hoosier Sentinel and Waiter Shead. well known political writ er and broadcaster, are applicants for Jim Bepttey » place as secretary of the state committee. Both are popular and well qualllled. Just two weeks more in which to P»y yoqr spring iaatallm'-ut of taxes *and County Treasurer Liechty is preparing to lake care of the I final rush. It should not be a difficult job to pay taxes bore for the ; rates are reasonable, compared to what the average real estate owner gets in return. James Slattery, member of the commerce commission of Illinois, has been appointed United States senator to succeed the late J. Ham Lewis. He is a very capable attorney and will no doubt prove a valuable member of the groat law making body, though nut as colorful aa Ills predecessor. beoator Frederick Vag Buys u eg route to the Maye hospital lor

| a serious operation following a two or three weeks Illness He has not been in the best of health for a y«mr and it is the hope of his . thousands of friends in Indiana that the operation will restore him t to his old time health and vigor. —————— l Physicians report there are still • many people suffering from colds | i aud other ailments which if not I given attention may develop into . it j J serious illness. At this time of the . i year, we cannot be too careful a- j > bout what we wear, what we eat. i ' and lu guarding against sudden i and severe changes of the weathiter. The aunuai conference of the 1 Evangelical church in thia district ' will be held at the Crescent Avauuv church In Fort Wayne, open-1 ing a week from today. Various I units of the church are planning tor one of the beat meetings ever - held by the organisation and a number from here will attend the special set vices.' The Willis campaign to unseat Senator VanNuys or to make It' i appear he had been fraudulently elected la over, the senate committee show mg iu their report, how ridiculous the charges were. Apparent from the twwt that it was a case of securing publicity to be used in the next campaign, the . effort bin ume a boomerang President Roosevelt fa making . i« real effort to avert war iu Europe and has asked .Mussolini and Hitler to join in a pledge of ten j to twenty-five yearn If they will - , agree the president promised to call a disarmament and ecmiomic ' conference iu which plans for a • united world could be disc ussed. perhaps with results that would be realty wonderful. Any arrangement that assures peace in the > ' world is worth while and will' prove a great saving to every nation The pre sale nt should be suppotted in hie plea for world peace. Wheu you call another driver 1 •‘craajr" after Mime wild aud dan gerous maneuver, you may be right. It ia not a nice word, and experts prefer the term psychopathic. but the idea la about the same. Aa impressive test was made in Detroit recently. After ex-1 atniuing 467 motorists arrested for breaking traffic laws. the experts , found that ISO of them, about to percent, were serious "mental cases' of one sort or another. Bev- ■ an were pronounced definitely in sane, 44 feeble-minded aud 87 so unstable mentally that they were a serious hasard on the road. If these ligurea come anywhere near ■ representing the general situation • two things are obviously necessary. i First, there must be more careful m runny of drivers before they are I given driving liceaMU Mwcoiid. then- must lie allenUts on the job la traffic courts, so that people wku are proved menaces to traffic will not be allowed lo continue driving. A suit recently filed to quiet' title to the lots al the corner of 1 First and Jac kaon streets recalls I past inc ideals u> many. For years i the First Methodist church occupled the property. Later It v»i 1 converted Into au opera house ' which furnished amusement for the people of the community and |al>out twenty-five years ago It was taken over by a group <>( local I busmans men and rebuilt for a gymnasium It provided the first real basketball floor and was the scene of numerous exult lag butties | The school board them took II over and continued II until the high school was erected al Fifth aud Adams about twenty years ago . i The funds to purchase the prop--1 erty from Mr. Bosse were raised by i popular siibtw rtptlon through this paper and several hundred contri-, , bated tholr bit. accounting for the large number of people who must be made defendants iu the quiet • iitlk suit now pending to clear the [tUJa for the Moon* lodge which
