And, come to think of it, this is the first time an editor has landed the job. The Next Prosecutor Citizens of Indianapolis should, and we believe do, realize the vital necessity of electing to the office of prosecutor of Marion county a man who is not only capable of conducting the affairs of that office in a proper manner but is also free to do his dut> without regard to the political * effect it may have. During the incumbency of Prosecutor Adams Marion county has seen nearly all the evil effects of having a weakling in this position. The taxpayers have had to pay good money to employ special prosecutors to represent them in the criminal court when the prosecutor admitted his inability to conduct state cases. They have been compelled to put up with the presence of organized bands of aut<* thieves because the prosecutor was too weak to break them up. They have been treated to the Interesting spectacle of the stuffing of the jury box and have seen the prosecutor struggling to purge the box by means of challenges merely because he lacked either the legal ability to discern fraud in the stuffing or the moral courage to make such an allegation in court. They have seen thousands of dollars of fees paid over to the prosecutor by proprietors of public gambling houses whom the prosecutor found it much more lucrative to prosecute on gambling charges than under the more severe statutes by which he could have eliminated them. They have seen a viciously corrupt primary in which the prosecutor participated as a manager of one of the contestants instead of an influence for an honest vote as he should have participated They have heard of faulty indictments, insufficient affidavits and the disappearance of witnesses and evidence until the majority have come to realize that as long as Mr. Adams remains in the prosecutor’s office the nearest approach to efficiency that can be found is a schoolboy oration before an indifferent jury that in nine eases out of ten regards it as ••pretty speech” and fails to allow it to influence a ' erdict. We are going into a campaign this fall in which one of the most important questions will be the preservation of the ballot to those who are entitled to use it. We are asked by the same republican ring that put Adams into office to accept as his successor William P- EJvans, his chief deputy. To accept Evans is to continues the weak-kneed policy of openly tolerating 6ueh law violations as we have had for years—violations the punishment of which does not place fat fees in the prosecutor's pocket. To accept Evans is to tolerate the prosecutions in the justice of the peace courts of citizens whose technical violations of obscure statutes harm no one and to sit~Buplnely by and see organized gangs of law breakers hide behind the bulwarks of political favors and prey upo.i good citizens. > Mr. Evans is opposed for prosecutor by Paul G. Davis, a lawyer with ability, and, what is far more important, a man with too much honor to ■tultify himself at the behest of any political organization. With Davis in office Indianapolis will see a clean primary in the city campaign. A clean primary is necessary to the election of a mayor who will not give us a continuation of the disappointments of the Jewett-Coffln regime. * Passing the Buck* Several weeks ago Grover Cleveland Bergdoll, convicted draft dodger, who was supposed to be serving five years at the Disciplinary Barracks, Governor’s Island, New York, escaped from the custody of the United States government. _ The circumstances surrounding Bergdoll’s escape were aired in the press at the time, and need no repetition, except to say that the thinnest sort of a fabrication woven by Bergdoll about treasure buried in the fastnesses of the mountains where he had hidden out in craven cowardice while his country was at war, made the whole thing possible. Since the escape of Bergdoll the public has been treated to an interesting game of “pass the buck,” a pastime in which all armies, and the United States army in particular, are especially proficient, the object being to shield the higner-tf£. "Passing the buck,” as played In this particular case, has brought out that Secretary of War Newton D. Baker, ostensibly in charge of all details of the army, knew nothing about Bergdoll’s absence frbm the disciplinary barracks until he was informed of the slacker's escape in Philadelphia. Adjutant General Harris of the United States army, the official who issued the order for Bergdoll to leave prison, "passes the buck” to the commandant of the disciplinary barracks, and so on down through the ranks, from colonel to to captain to lieutenant, until it finally lands on the shoulders of Sergeant John O’Hare and Sergeant Alvin York, enlisted men who were detailed to guard Slacker Bergdoll while on parole from prison. There the "buck” sticks. Asa result both O’Hare and York are under charges awaiting action of a court martial. In common decency and fair play, justice loving Americans should demand the wiping out of the charges against these two enlisted men wh* are so evidently being used to shield Adjutant General Harris and other higher-ups from the results of their own negligence and inefficiency. If the escape of Grover Cleveland Bergdoll is cause for a court martial let Adjutant General Harris be the one to go on trial. Fate A claim for $125 for the loss of one of his heiferß has been tiled with the New Jersey state highway commission by a farmer who is keeping bis ears alert for a loud report that will enable him to put in another claim for an equal amount. Two heifers were being reared in comparative seclusion midst scenes pastoral, and were but little acquainted with the weird, rude ways of man. And it seems that the farmer was rather partial to them; had tended them since early calfhood, and had many times "calculated just what they ought to bring when they had attained their majority. But fate was reaching out toward them with bony, gripping fingers— Unmindful of the cohesiveness of at least one of them; regardless of the feelings of their owner. And fate comes in many guises. In this case it came in a sort of round about way. It seems that employes of the highway commission left in the pasture home of tho heifers a box, and these unsophisticated creatures ate its contents under the impression that it had been placed there for their nourishment. One of the heifers, the one with the wanderlust most keenly developed, soon bumped into a fence and almost instantaneously became an integral part of the milky way. And the other? Well, *tis said to have been wrapped and swathed carefully and is being watched from a careful distance. But It might well be considered an extra hazard. For the contents of the box that had been consumed was dynamite. And while the world goes on in its careless, happy way, there is that poor heifer ia New Jersey with nothing between it and eternity save the thickness of ita rwathlnga and the sureness of ita footing.

A. “A monogram In the London Financial Times on the history of the old Citizens bank of Louisiana, at New

Orleans, reveals the orljln of the name ‘Dixie Land’—the term applied now to all the southern states and preserved in the famous southern war song, ‘Dixie.’ Prior to the Civil war the Citizens bank, having the power to Issue paper notes. Issued several millions of bills In denominations of $lO and S2O, but mostly $lO. The $lO bills were engraved in French with the French word Dix featured-on their backs. The bills became known as ‘Dixies,’ and this money becoming popular, Louisiana was referred to as the ‘Land of the Dixies,’ or ‘Dixie Land.’ Eventually the term was so broadened aa to apply to all the southern states.” This seems a very acceptable explanation of the origin of tbe term, which has been the subject of so much discussion.
