KNOW YOUR OWN STATE Indiana’s increase of wealth from 1890 to 1922 lagged behind rillnois, Ohio and Michigan and was slower than tho national average. From 1912 to 1922 this order was modified by Indiana passing Illinois. This standing applies with changes for price changes and per capita wealth.

LET THE PEOPLE DECIDE There will be a referendum vote in the State of New York on the question of prohibition. The people will register their convictions and demands as to the' retention of the present system or their preference for some other means of obtaining temperance and sobriety. In Pennsylvania, the Republican primaries gave a victory to a man whose one appeal was his denunciation of Volsteadism. And from that State a Republican Senator, a supporter of the defeated so-called dry candidate, declares that the time has come when a referendum on thfe question is essential In the Nation, if we are to protect the Government from other evils. There Is no denial of the fact that prohibition is the one big topic of conversation and discussion. There is no denial of the fact that after six years of experience, many people have changed their views. There are men and women who were opposed io the system who now believe it can finally be a success. * There are other men and women who were most ardently in favor of the law who now believe'that it is destroying the Government itself through the breaking down of all law, through degradation of youth, through corruption of officials, through loss of respect for courts and all law. The one basis for law is the conscience and will of the majority. No law, no matter what its character, can be enforced unless it has that support and background. In this State of Indiana, it is a law not to give or offer a drink of liquor to another. Not one citizen of Indiana has as yet denounced as a criminal and a lawbreaker a man who has given him a drink. Theoretically and as a law-biding citizen, every one who has either taken such a drink or has seen others drinking should denounce his friend, his brother or a neighbor who violates the lawNo one believes that there are less than 50,000 men in the city of Indianapolis who have violated tho Wright law since its passage—and not a private citizen lias denounced any man who offered to make him a criminal by giving him a drink. That may mean nothing or it may mean a great deal. It may mean that the people of this State have reached the state of mind of Pennsylvania and no longer believe in prohibition. It may mean that thinking men and women of this State would, if given an opportunity, vote for a different system; not for the old saloon which was thoroughly un-American, but for something different than bootleggers, moonshine makers, rum runners, hip flasks for their boys at high school dances. It is possible that there are a majority who would welcome a return to local option with Government distribution. It is possible that the majority want things just as they are and have faith that experience and education will finally make obedience to this law as automatic as to the law against murder and its violation just as repulsive. That majority, no matter what it thinks, has a right to speak. The intolerable condition of electing officials by the one brand of wet or dry without reference to their ideas, ideals or fitness in other matters would then be ended. The vicious situation which now exists in politics should be removed. A referendum on this question would settle the matter and settle it so that those who believe in Volsteadism would not have to accept crooks in order to defend their position and those who believe in modification would not be compelled to vote for misfits, unfits and grafters in order to register their protest. Let’s have a referendum in Indiana and the Nation. MORE. COMPLICATIONS! No sooner had the ink dried last night on President Coolidge’s order to make Federal dry agents of the State, county and city police than the complications began Senator Goff, a dry Republican and former assistant attorney general, intimated the order may not be legal. Already, therefore any one at all acquainted with the workings of dry laws and prohibition orders can see arrests, releases, trials, appeals, habeas corpuses and other legal entanglements galore resulting from the new movement. Furthermore, it requires little imagination to see the professional rivalries, jealousies, disputes and what not between cities and States when police from the one or the other pinch some pet protected speakeasy or privileged rum gang. What actual good the new order will accomplish is difficult to see save in a few isolated cases. For in communities where the drys are strong the Federal authorities already are receiving as much aid from the local authorities as they can afford to lend, nr so we are told. In communities where the wets predominate and little aid is given the mere fact of tho President's order will mean nothing. A dry agent's badge will not change human na-, ture. WEATHER The years 1926 and 1927, it was prophesied some time ago by a raeterological expert, are to be suramerless years. And It begins to look as if the fellow know what he was talking about. There are exceptions, of course —certain sections of the country where it is warm most of the year anyway. But the most of the inhabitants of these United States have experienced a spring where furnace fires were the rule rather than the exception, and northern beaches are still waiting for the rush of swimmers. Can it be true? Aro we to be perpetual slaves to tho overcoat? Heaven forbid—and yet, by golly, we re beginning to get worried.

BUSINESS IS SOLID Time was when a Wall Street panic precipitated financial terror over the whole nation. But those days seem to have gone forever. The first five months of 1 926 testify that the heart of the Nation has decid . to run tho pulse, instead of the pulse running t e heart. Wall Street has been mighty nervous since the first of the year. A few gentlemen had put their heads together and foreseen a business depression for 1926. Wall street got busy and proceeded to carry out this prediction. But the country couldn't be bothered. The count-y couldn't be bothered because currency and credit have been given flexibility. Twentyfive years ago a slump would have meant ruin for thousands. But now the added credit facilities extended by the reserve bank stand like angels ready to tide business over- Panics seem to have passed into history with hobble skirts. DON’T JUKICH YOURSELF Stanko Jukich, who committed murder in Nevada, has been put out of the way with lethal gas. You, without committing any crime, may, if you are not careful, inflict the same deadly punishment on yourself, and never wake up to wiiat you have done until you are dead. Officers in the chemical warfare service state that the lethal gas used to kill Jukich acts very similar to carbon tnotloxide, which kills thousands of people in the United States accidentally every year. They start the motors of their automobiles running in their garage with no window open. In three minutes there is a big story for the newspapers. Don’t make a story for the newspapers. Don’t try out your motor in a closed garage. First open the doors a id windows. W* 11 Street's had a bad time, but June's when the matrimonial bonds Increase in value. It's spring in New York. Old millionaire married a girl of 15. Trenton (111.) man found a large diamond in a chicken. Chickens are very fond of large diamonds. The doctors won't let Coolidge, President, shako hands, so how will anybody sell him any insurance? A boss is a man who arrives early when you are late and late when you are early. If you take things more seriously you might ;<3t away with them. Skirts are either mighty short or legs are mighty long. Some people marry an Ideal and some a good deal. You might tell her age and live, but you had better not tell how much she weighs. Work hard and save your money and some day you may be as happy and contented as the loafers seem now, Be careful aboOt how you look Into a mirror. Looking too much is liable to discourage vou. Some women are so lazy their husbands have to work the garden. Trouble with a small town Is it takes so long to wait for the postman. An island is a small body of land entirely surrounded by international complications. The only legal eye-op.ener is short skirts. There may be an egg trust, but we've never seen one we would. When she sets the clock ahead it's you who are slow. You can t, keep tho upper hand by dealing from the bottom. An auto is a necessity unless you want to get run over by one. To keep your wife away from tho office hire an ugly stenographer.

WHEN YOU WERE A CHILD By Mrs. Walter Ferguson"

Sometimes when you tiro of the roar of trucks on pavement, it is nice to go back in fancy to that secret lant where you dreamed as a child. Nothing is so restful as a journey down the dim path of happy memories. The long, brooding, slow-moving days! The old back yard where the red cock and his bevy of hens strolled aimlessly. The. pungent smell creeping from between the logs of the unchinked “smokehouse.” Within, hams and sides of bacon and long link sausages swung above your head as you plunged Into the odorous darkness of the little cabliu It had an earthen floor, and the trees rustled languidly over its low gray roof, singing lullabies all the day through. On the other side of the yard stood the big iron kettle, and when soap was in the making a thrill was in store for the boy or girl who was permitted to Stir the bubbling liquid. A pleasant fear crept up your spine as you thought of the stories your black mammy told you about the little boy of long ago who had tumbled one day into just such a boiflng mass. The thick gray coating on the top had a sinister look and the empty charred lye cans among the cinders held the fascination of unknown death. The arching beauty of the trees! The scent of the flowering lilacs! The ache that came into your heart as you heard down the long afternoon the song of the Negroes in the far off cotton patch, as they wailed among the bolls and the blossoms. The strange enthralling delight of watching an army of ants running one after the other along the infinitesimal path their j busy feet had worn through the short grass and stones. ! We all have some such sweet memories woven about our childhood, long remembered spot where we can speed and And rest for our tired souls. And for one Instant to be able to grasp the fleeting marvel of that peace that once wrapped us about, is like a dip upon a hot and weary day into the vast .soothing coolness of some pool. llow pathetic to think that a life begun in such quiet and loveliness may be crushed out under the wheels of a Ford. But such is progress.

THE VERY IDEA!

| By Hal Cochran THAT’S DIFFERENT , They sat out in the moonlight, and | their hearts were beating fast. No | doubt, they both were wond’ring ; just how long 'twas gonna last. Now | quiet ruled supremely, you could tell I they were afraid, and each one shushed the other when the slightest j sound was made. ! The neighbors, in the house next, door, were at a window pane, a lookin’ and a lookin', but their looks were quite in vain. The fright of both the lovers you can surely understand when you know one of the neighbors had a shotgun in his han<j. “I guess we’d better beat it," ! came a whisper in a breath. The other didn't answer. He was almost scared ta death. Another hour they waited. Every minute was intense. And then they made a sudden dash, and cleared the backyard fence. Another romance blasted ‘neath the moon that shines above. 'Twas just because the lover sat and howled their bloomin’ love. The whole world loves a lover is a true thought, now and then. But when they’re only alley cats —it's something else again. • The first year of his marriage a fella calls* his mother-in-law "say,” and after that, grandma. * * * Mother told Johnny that he must keep his eyes closed during prayer and Johnny wanted to know how she knew he didn’t. * • Even a skeleton key won’t pick a lock on a bald head. * * * Two burglars came. The clock struck one. Said ho, “That sure is hick." And then the other fella asked Which one the dent thing struck. * * * Mother —What makes your shoes ahvays look so untidy?
