Mrs. Esther M Cabe, of Lilly, I’a . has been rightfully voted the No. 1 American War Mother. She has ten sons in the armed forces. She was awarded a certificate and a gold pin by the American War Mother's Association at a ceremony held In Indianapolis last Sunday. Her boy* are scattered over the world, each doing a good job. —o Wendell Wlllkle wiio has already I upset political precedents in a half dozen ways ha* added another to his list. He refuses to talk since | his utter defeat in Wisconsin. He is quite independent in his political views and seems to have his own Ideas of how world government | should operate. Apparently he is waiting for Mr Dewey to express himself more clearly. His silence Is I;- coming almost oppressive, —o The GPA. like castor oil, may be good for you but it's terrible to take The article in the Sunday Star, however, pointed up the gains made in efficiency on the rationing front. These are welcome to all. And tile debt of the community t > the volunteer staff members, who have contributed their time and talent through turbulent months, always is worthy of note. —Indianapolis S;ar. —o Wilbur Sutton, veteran Republican editor, writing in the .Muncie Pros. recently questioned the propriety of the Republican state committie in endorsing Ralnh F. Gates immediately after he bad resigned tile ( hairmanship of his party, forthe governorship nomination, sec j, ing in the action a likelihood of; setting "a precedent that may rise up to haunt• it und the party" and, he added that It should. "Such a procedure,” said Mr. Sutton, "1., redolent of old-time bossism again*' which the Voters frequently rebel . with good reason. It Is undemoeratii and, therefore, verges closely upon un-Amcricanixm.” The Muncie editor raised the question if th* (inning state convention of the Republican party is to be composed of a lot of stooges, who will follow the dictates of the party bosses rather than make their own choice.--. —o Victimizing Veterans: Returning war veterans are warned to lie on their guard against employment swindles which confidence men have lost no time launching to relieve them of their mustering out pay. The fact that nothing could be lower than victimizing our returned veterans does not mean that there is not a certain class of criminal that will attempt It. Better Business bureaus have already received complaints '.hat these swindlers are at work. The catch In most ot these swindles Is to collect a cash bond from the ajqdicant in return for finding a Job. Tile fob never materializes, however, and the sharper runs out with the money. Thio and other schemes are being used to separate the veteran from his money. Agencies are provided to protect the veteran from these schemes, and they should make use of them Selective service Ixiards have reemployment advisors who may be consulted. The I'nited States employment service has specially trained personnel to make every effort to find the right jobs for veterans without charge. The service is provided by the federal gov ernment and Is a part of the regular function of the employment service. Officers of the service arc located In 22 Indiana cities, and thus are within reach of any veteran requiring its assistance. A great debt is owed the returning veteran*. It can be discharged In part by helping their return to civil life and protecting them in their rights. Citizens can help by seeing that the veterans are informed of the agencies set up for their service, and by themselves making known any swindle they encounter and doing their best to •m that it do«»n t work—Hunt tugton ua-Preaa.

We wore sitting on E<!
