'Right Here kn In GAYLORD ilVl ll\\ NELSON

ARRY DIAMOND was elecHtrocuted in the Indiana State Prison early yesterday morning. He killed his wife. It was first degree murder and he was given the death penalty. Which is justice. A few hours before this execution Claude Keizer pleaded guilty to sec- j ond degree murder at Noblesviik. ; He was sentenced to life imprisonnietn. Which is justice. Perhaps the death penalty should j | be inflicted in extreme cases. But every murder is an extreme case—to the victim. He loses his life. Whether as a culmination of a murder plot or of a sudden ungovernable passion for 15 cents. Probably the punishment in those two cases was assessed ir. accordance with the measure of guilt revealed. Still it would be interesting to get the opinions of the two victims as to which crime merited the death l>enalty and which life imprisonment. That’s impractical- Both victims are dead. Justice is represented ns a stately, blinded-folded dame holding aioft j evenly balanced scales. But so long as the law dictates widely different penalties for vary- j ing degrees of the same crime her j scales will jiggle and the stately dame will suffer from shaking palsy. Notices HE city smoke inspector, | twenty years ago this week. L ser.t 300 smoke ordinance violators warnings which read: “I have been very lenient Very little has been done. * • * I shall be compelled to employ surti measures as may be necessary-" But apparently the notices were 1 lost in the mail and never receiv* 1. ' For only two weeks ago the present smoke Inspector sent out fifty final notices to violators. And in the twenty-year interval there has been no abatement of tl. plagrue. Residents today burrow their way downtown on trap.oui! mornings through swarthy, adhesive atrnos- . phere, from which oxygen has long since Red. Just as residents did twenty years ago. The present city smoke inspecto-. although he has sent transgressors final notices, deprecates violence. He believes gradual education a mor c effectual policy than wholesale arrests. Gradual education is all right. But when one civic nuisance, after twenty years of it, hasn't graduated from the kindergarten, it is time to educate with a club. Other cities have supressed smoke ; and so can Indianapolis. But to do so we must breed a j smoke ordinance that does something besides wag its tail and bay at our sepia-tinted moon. Bird Dogs OMER ELLIOTT. United |_J States district attorney, yest —in the Hawkins Mortgage Company ease —Introduced the "Hawkins Encyclopedia” The book defines turns used by fake stock promoters. Among them: 'Bird Dog. Name given by salesmen to local men who. for a small percentage, aid in selling stock. Valuable if properly used, but always of much grief if not properly treated by salesmen. Always pay : your 'Bird Dog.’ ” A bird dog beats the bushes. The hunter gets the game. The dog re- ; reives a pat on the head and a kind word. And feels amply repaid. Every quack stock promotion is bolstered up with indorsements from prominent people. Because some people will lend their names readily to anything—if there is no Immediate cost at- i tached. And if there is in return a pat on the head, a free dinner, or flattery. Such peopl*** are "bird dogs ” A watch dog is more valuable. ~ Bonds PROPOSED park site in Golden Hill was offered—for ; u a price—to the park board Thursday. The board regretted Us narrow bonding margin might prevent its acquisition of the tract. The present bonding limit, onehalf of one per cent, cramps the j board. And it believes the limit should be raised to one per cent. | Bonds brighten the lives of government units with lobster appetites and beef-stew incomes. T>ast year the counties of Indiana spent 25 per cent above their revenue receipts. To an individual that would spell bankruptcy. To counties it spells bonds. Local units are proficient borrowers They are always in training And most of them are bonded nearly : to their limits. Whether the limit is 1 per cent or 50 per cent. Which is natural. Because our desires usually keep pace with our receipts not with our j needs. Consequently local govern- i ment treads the primrose path of j easy borrowing. And some thistles j for the future thin-skinned taxpayer ■ to tread upon. For bonds are mortgages on the : old homestead. Some day the villain with the dyed mustache will demand j payment.

( barges that taxpayers of Marion county have paid out >.,,,).()()() more than necessary in the past year in paving roads ami streets by the city and county, were made before county jommissioners today.
