After settling the Hague matter, they have legalised gambling and started a new scrap that will keep them busy the neat several yean. It rained so hard in Jefferson City, Missouri, that the legislature had to adjourn. The water poured in the windows and doors and drenched the law makers. It was any thing but a “dry" session. Its summer and you can realise that either by looking at the thermometer or the calendar. Th* equinoaial rains should be over soon and we ought to enjoy several months of perfect Hoosier weather. The boys are waiting for the I Fourth of July to make the big noise that makes them feel patri otic and since this is the last year for such demonstrations they art planning to burn up a lot of lire crackers. It will be the passing of a custom that is as old as the Republic. Chicago is trying to land more factories to provide labor for the idle. More building is being urged and the problems there seem to be about the same as here aud in other cities the site of many ot the Windy City's suburbs. After ail its not where you live but how good general conditions are that I make It worth while. Truck drivers must pay the weight tax or subject themselves to arrest. Efforts to repeal the law tailed in the recent session and as long as the law is on the l>o<>kg there is nothing for officials to do but enforce it. Arrests are nowbeing made and the wise thing of course m to avoid that extra cost by taking out the license. The Townsend pension boosters •re tn national session in Indianapolis and enthusiasm runs high as they plan to defeat congressmen who votes against their measure and who have aroused sufficient followers to make their pleas effective. Politicians are frightened for they will be wrong either way and will have to rebuild their fences. The Dies hearing at Washington was a bad thing for a number of • spiring politicians, including Homer Capehart, who was becoming so pompous he wouldn't consider a governorship or senatorsbip nomination, but was promoting a plan to be the dark horse in the U O P. convention. He got caught in the pot of evidence along with some others and the boys have shied away from hla as though he were poison Great game. Earl Long has been elevated to the position of governor by the resignation of Richard Lecbe. following a three-dcy conference tn which W’Pa activities and the need for an Investigation were discuesI

The country L hope* the new governor will prove equal to the occasion. i The Junior Chamber of Commerce favors special sales days to I be held a couple of times a year i to attract attention of buyers over ■ 1 a wider radius than the tegular i patronage. It's a good idea that is | i used hi hundreds of cities. In , these days when modern means of travel makes competition keen, it > Is up to those in business to strive I a little harder for Increased sales ' and there is no doubt that the 1 buyers arc watching constantly for attractive reasons for dealing. The I young men deserve praise and sup- i port In their efforts. The price of hogs is the lowest 1 in several years but price control, was so unpopular when used a few ! years ago that it will probably not. be reinstated. It's queer that as! soon as the government tries something. those opposed are ready., willing aud anxious to upset IL I While the idea of killing off several I million pigs didn't register worth ' a cent. It perhaps would have done ' so. if the meat bad been used to J feed the pew or sent to China, i Any way it seem* necessary to in 1 some manner regulate the pricesl ot farm products. - ■ , a—-.. The 32-year-old Ohio woman who . killed her ten-weeks-old babe and ' threw the body in a river has con-1 teased. The lie detector convinced | her that officers would know the 1 truth or untruth of her statement aud Anally told her story, explain-' I I ng she was beside herself, wanted to be a girl again after being di-i vorced from her husband and thought the child might be In her ■ I way. She has been charged with ' first degree murder and will face I trial. Her conviction seems assured aud she faces a life in prison or perhaps a worse fate, a terrible I coot to pay for her desires aud action. Baseball won t be the same for j a while with old dependable, homerun hitting Lou Gehrig out. The doctors have discovered he Is suffering from a peculiar form of Infantile paralysis which has been slipping up on him for several | years and which was retarded be-' I < ause of his perfect physical con- i dition. He will continue to wear a Yankee uniform while taking treatments but will not play this season aud perhaps never again. He has been one of the great sportsmen in baseball bolds the all-time record for consecutive, game*. 2.130 without missing aud is known as the “iron man.'* Every fan in the country hopes the news is not as bad aa it sounds. ■' ■ Some idea of how many more ! older persons there are now than I in 1860 may be gained from the | census figures. Indiana at that • time had 1.0M.0n0 population and . only 17,000 persons over the age of 65 years. In 1»39 with a population ot 3.300.000 there are 240.000 persons over 66 year* old. Ninety years ago seventeen persons in every 1,000 were 65 years of age. Today seventy-two persons In event 1,000 population have reached that age. Thia great In-1 crease in the number of older persons is not altogether due to better medical facilities. In 1660 Indiana was a frontier state and Its population largely made up of younger persons. Twenty years later younger person* began to migrate further went, leaving the older. This kept up until 1900. The twenty years following Indiana became an industrial state and this gain attracted younger persons irom other states. For the past twenty years the ratio ot age has changed little and statisticians estimate that there will be litle • increase in the percentage of per-
