U. S. Senator Kern’s 14-year-old son some time ago suffered a stroke of infantile paralysis and ha® just been operated on at Baltimore Md., and has recovered sufficiently to be removed to his home in Washington Tuesday. The operation required «the moving of a muscle, much the same as the operation performed on Harold Roth and Harold Nowels. The foot will remain in a cast for some time.

The Indianapolis effort to secure flour foT the starving Belgians is certainly commendable. There were some contributions from this city sent to Indianapolis papers but not nearly the generosity that was felt and which would have prompted much giving if some one here had taken hold of the matter. It Ip not too late yet and the churches dr the board of associated charties should start the effort today. The Republican will give it all the assistance possible.

Charles Marlin, the young man who wrecked Ed Olivers Buick roadster Thanksgiving morning, was able to be down Street yesterday and it might have been better if he had waited for a little while, for he found a constable ready to serve papers on him charging him with exceeding the speed limit on that eventful trip. He was taken before Squire Delos D. Dean, where he pleaded guilty and the newly elected justice fined him $lO and costs, amounting to $16.80. Charley denies the published report that he was intoxicated and furnished some proof from persons who saw him just before the accident that he was not at all under

the influence, While others are just as certain that he was intoxicated. That brings up the question as to just what condition a man is in when he can really be called “drunk.” A really drunk man was described to us the other day. It is when a man gets so much liquor in him that he is forced to lie down on his back and spread out his arms and catch hold of the. grass to keep from turning over. He can then really be called drunk. It is hoped whether Charley was drinking at all or not that the lesson he has received will induce him ’ to lead a life oJ total abstinence.
