It is unfortunate that the petty thieves who so frequently annoy Greenfield citizens can not be caught and sent to prison. It is probably the same clique that does •all of the stealing.

If a great many people who get into trouble could only appreciate ~how their conduct would embarrass their friends if they should be caught, there would be much less violation of laws. If they would -only think of their family and their "friends before they act, rather .than after, they would avoid much trouble.

The interest in the great speedway races May 30th is attracting more attention this year than ever before. The Indianapolis speedway is the greatest race course in the world, and just as the use of automobiles increases so will the interest of all people who use motor vehicles increase in the tests at the great Indianapolis races. There is no doubt that with the improvements of the past year that '"jprevious records will be broken if the weather is favorable.

It is gratifying to see the people of Indianapolis looking to the records and associations of men who are candidates for mayor in that city. When voters thought only of the party to which a man belonged there wras not much hope for administrative reform, but when the people become blind to the organization to which a candidate belongs and look more to the character of -the man, or to what kind of record he made when in office, there is «very reason to believe that they are in the proper spirit to get results.

We do not think there is any political millenium imminent neither do we think that things po-,-litical are so good that they could not be much better, but we do think that there are many influences at work which will greatly clear the political atmosphere in a way that is needed. When one thinks how unreasonably partisan the people have been for the past fifty years, it is really surprising that political conditions are not worse than they are. There was a time when, with the most of the "voters of the United States, anything which one's party did was right, no matter how flagrantly it violated all principles of honesty and right. But that time is past, and no old party can retain such a system nor new one establish it in the future. Organization is destined to be the subordinate feature in politics in the future. Duplicity and bad faith is politics are bound to be supplanted by candor, honesty and "making good."

We do not believe in long terms in office. The field to select candidates from is large. There are just as good men out of office as there are in. Many good men out of office are not averse to an opportunity to serve the public at the stipulated salaries. In the past, Jong periods in public office have

Knot

had the effect of increasing official efficiency. In the past long /^continued public service has had a *. tendency to stimulate machine and ring politics. New men in office, pj. .coming immediately from the peo-

rple,

and being in close touch with

~\'":them and their want's, are inclined *"\to do things. Men in official posiftion for a long time are out of jg touch with the people and their V#

nee(*s.

This is especially the case

'v! in representatives and senators in the National Congress. There have been cases in those bodies where officials become so blinded by the ^influences which surround them at ^'the national capital, and so isolated from the people whom they represented that they thought the peopie did not know what they wanted, did not know even what would be good for them. The people do make mistakes. In some new things they may not know what is best, but in most things' they are right, can be trusted and relied upon. Lincoln came from close touch with the people, and he knew them. He believed in them.

He was shrewd enough to know that they were the real political power, and that the man who .would be promoted by them must believe ii» them and be true to them* Above all things, he sought to keep

faith

with them. He stated the esaence of political logic when he said "You can not fool all the people all the

time." There are time limits -.on the tenure of a number of offices there should be on all. The tyranny and oppression of inherited political offices caused the pioneer forefathers to emigrate from Europe The political system of inheritance has had a blighting effect in foreign countries. Long tenures and life tenures will have a like effect in America. It is unAmerican. It bars the advancement and progress that new, young blood gives to everything. Politics as well as all other human activities, need the constant infusion of new blood. Energy and activity is more essential in politics than obsolete wisdom.

LAW PROTECTS THE FINNY TRIBE

Wife and Children May Take Shelter Under the Old Man's Fishing License

Fisherman this year will have to bow to the law that has been in force against hunters that wished to hunt for a few days during the year. Should one of the tribe of Izaak Walton desire to hook a few of the finny tribe he must first produce a license if he should desire to do the hooking outside his own county, unless the county immediately adjoins his own. Should the fisherman have a wife and children under the age of eighteen they may take shelter under the old man's license, for the state has ruled that the children and wife may be exempt if the head of the family has a license.

A part of the law that will especially please the true sportsman is that provision that provides that where there are shallows in Indiana lakes where fish are accystomed to frequent during the breeding season the state may designate such places 'state breeding grounds, and provide a heavy penalty for molesting the fish between March 20 and July 1.

A man may not even go along the streams now feeling in hollow submerged logs for suckers or catfish —a favorite trick of many oldtimers. For the law specifically says that no person may catch fish with the hands unassisted by any mechanical device. The law regarding dynamite, gigs, grappling hooks, etc., still stays in the statute books. The prohibitive size on rock bass is under six inches black bass less than ten inches.

The following is a summary of the laws concerning fishing: It is Unlawful:

To fish outside your own county or an adjacent one without a license

To sell or offer for sale any pike, pickerel, wall-eyed pike, perch, blue gills, black bass, green bass, rock bass or other species of bass.

To take any pickerel or pike less than twelve inches long, any rock bass or crappie less than six inches long, or any black bass less than ten inches long.

To take or have in your possession in any one day, more than fifty bluegills, sunfish or crappie, or more than twelve bass. Two or more persons fishing from the same boat may take not more than twenty bass in a day.

To fish with any hook or line attached to any bottle or ot"her floating «(device.

To fish with any (rot line having any hook on it smaller than a 6-0 Kirby.

To fish on state breeding grounds set apart by the commissioner of fisheries and game between the 20th day of March and the 1st day of July

To ship any game fish out of the state, except that a person may take with him not to exceed twenty-four caught by himself, if he carries them openly.

To kill or stupefy fish with an electric current. To use Indian cockle, fish berries, or others substances intended to stupefy .or poison fish.

To take fish with the hands or with a gaff hook or grappling hook that are not first fastened on a legal hook and line.

To use dynamite or any other explosive in any water of the state except for mining or mechanical purposes by special permission of the commissioner of fisheries and game.-

To place an obstruction on a stream to prevent fish from ascending and descending.

To trespass on inclosed grounds for the purpose of setting a trot line.

To shoot or shoot at any fish. To have in your possession any part of, or at any time, any seine or seine or net of any kind, or any spear or trap, except a minnow trap, or a minnow seine not more than twelve feet long and four feet deep with meshes not longer than one-fourth of an inch, unless such nets or traps are'for use in Lake Michigan, the Ohio river or the Wabash river where it forms the boundary between Indiana and Illinois, in which case they must be kept within two miles of these waters. Owners of private ponds may have seines for use therein.

To use a net or trap in the Ohio river, or the Wabash river where it forms the boundary between Indiana and Illinois, within one hundred yards of the mouth of the stream emptying into it from the Indiana side.

Mrs. E. J. Nay and children have returned from a visit tfith relatives at Knightstown.
