The claim of Republicans that they will carry both state and nation in the next election reminds us of a conversation between some small colored boys at the Kentucky Derby.

It’s good advice. The tax review board is con eluding its session today and the | surprising thing about it Is that only three complaints from the entire county wen- tiled and these Were not serious. The board muy have to continue a few days to conclude their report but the stated sessions are over under the law. “Be alive on the Efth” is a good thought to keep in mind if you are inc lined to be reckless In handling fireworks or in handling your car or in any other way "getting in over your bead." Over each Fourth there are s lot of casualties that could be avoided. Let's be careful. Warn the youngsters and set a good example. The sudden death of John W. Spencer, Br., former member of ■he Indiana supremo court and for half a century a leading attorney and politician of southern Indiana, at a Madison. Wisconsin hospital, has brought sorrow to his many Indiana friend* who recognised in him a man of integrity and great ability. He waa a native of Evanavllle. where hia son, John W. Jr., is now circuit judge. The mighty power of the New York Yankee* was demonstrated Wednesday In a double header when they knocked out forty-three hits, thirteen of them home runs, winning of course both game* over Philadelphia.

It will make the road a* good us new and will be an excellent improve-, ment. Many believe this stretch , of road should be rebuilt of concrete and will urge the state commission to do this during the next year or two. For the next week or so, those traveling north will - have to use the River road detour aero** the Lew ton bridge, then • thru eastward back to 27. Whether Paul V. McNutt is ever . president or not he will no doubt always remember with pleasure his reception home from au Im- ‘ portant assignment in the Philip- • pines. There is nothing equal to the thrill of a sincere expression for appreciation of service.

More than 33.000.000 worth of the Thrift and Ravings stamps | Issued during the World War are I still outstanding. Interest on them ha* long since ceased, of course. But somewhere In old trunks, disused dresser drawers, aud abandoned lock-boxes, there is 33,000.000 for somebody. Anybody who can think bac k to where he laid a paper of Thrift Ntamp* iu a vol-! ume of “Heart Throbs" back In' 191 S and forgot them, will be do- i lug himself aud the government a : mutual service by digging them: them out aud cashing them.

iVETO REFUSAL | FOR LICENSE Supreme Court Rules Against Beer Wholesaler Refusal Indianapolis. June 30 — tU.R) Indiana's alcoholic beverage commission may not refuae to grant beer wholesaler licenses on "economic" grounds according to a decision today of the state supreme court. The commission was ordered to Issue a license to Omer Kllpsch of Pelersbutg who had been denied a permit because there already was a wholesaler in Pike county and the commission did not be- ' Ih-ve there was enough business to support two wboleMlera. This ruling reversed a decision of the Marion county superior courts which had upheld the commissions right to deny a beer permit for economic reasons." The supreme court said that the commission cannot legally consider economic conditions in acting upon applications for beer permits because no mention waa , made of this factor in the new liquor law passed by the 1939 legislature. Thi* act. the court said, set up sufficient qualification* to guide, the commission in granting per-1 mils. The uew law was designed to' remove all numerical and territor-' lai restrictions on wholesalers aud I ■ said that permit* could not be i denied un "arbitrary, capricious 01 ■ political grounds." The supreme court did not rule i directly on constitutionality of the new beer law*. LOCAL PAIN I ER t CONTINUED FKOM PAGE ONE) mg al the arraignment.
