Signal for a truce in the destructive, political warfare in Indiana that has so ruthlessly slandered the good name of the State. The Jackson case was purely political. The scandal that arose over it had the stench of putrid politics. The time has come now for sober, constructive thinking, a decision to sidetrack personalities, present issues, and make an uncompromising demand for a reformation of political practise in Indiana. DECATUR DEMOCRAT (Democratic)—Governor Jackson should feel happy. He no doubt does, for we believe he had an awful dread of being committed to prison for his crime. His offense is sufficient that he should resign as Governor, for his chances to do anything creditable for the State are small. The public has its opinion, regardless of the outcome of the trial, and it’s a sorry mess for Indiana. Doesn’t Think lie’ll Resign, EVANSVILL COURIER (Independent)—The only satisfaction he (Governor Jackson) possibly can get out of it is that it keeps him out of the penitentiary. A Bible teacher, an active church worker, the darling of the Anti-Sa-loon League and backed for Governor in 1924 by Stephenson and the Klan, Ed Jackson is a living illustration of the brand of politics . that has dominated our State government and many municipal ad--1 ministrations for the last six or eight years. It goes without saying that Ed Jackson should resign as Governor. But here we are under 'Sio delusions. He won’t resign. MARLAND FIRM IS REORGANIZED Oil Interests Consolidated: Change Executives.

CAPITALIST IS SHOT TO DEATH IN HOTEL ROOM Four Bullets in Body Throw Doubt on Theory of Suicide. NEW YORW, Feb. 18.—Police today continued investigation of the death of Robert Livingston Ireland, 60, retired capitalist and coal producer, whose body was found late Friday at the Hotel Seymour, with four bullets in it. The body, lying face downward across his bed, was discovered by his wife, Mrs. Mary Esther Wood Ireland, when she returned from a shopping tour. Four Bullets In Body Dr. Charles Cassasa, assistant medical examiner, who viewed the body, pronounced it as suicide and although police were at first agreed, the fact that there were four bullets in the body led them to start an investigation. Mrs. Ireland, who was in a state of collapse when police arrived, said she had left her husband early in the afternoon and at that time he appeared to be cheerful. They had luncheon together and he returned to the apartment. She returned at 7:30 p. m. and found him dead. A revolver lay on the chiffonier about two feet from his right hand. His coat and vest were on a chair nearby and there were blood stains on the dresser and also on a photograph of Mrs. Ireland nearby. Question Suicide Verdict Police said the position of the body indicated that Ireland probably had stood in front of the mirror and fired the shots into his body. However, the suicide verdict was questioned, because either of the bullets were sufficient tp have caused death. Mrs. Ireland said her husband recently had suffered a heart attack and had been worried. He had been under the care of a physician. Building Permits Harry Pear, addition, 519 W. TwentyEighth. SSOO.

Not So Bad \ Wabash College Professor Defends Modern Youths.

By United Press CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind., Feb. 18.—Young people of today should not to be blamed for taking advantage of conditions in which they find themselves, and 95 per cent of them are better than their parents, Prof. George Tapy, of Wabash College, declared in an address before a local club. “The parents created the present conditions,” Tapy declared, “and they alone are to be blamed for the reaction our so-called ‘Flaming Youth’ shows toward this condition. Yoi|th has always been a problem to*ts elders and the present generation is no exception.” Prof. Tapy said he believed natural inhibitions of civilized nature would prevent youth from going astray, and that it would correct indulgences due to present lax conditions. Asa clinching argument Tapy said. “If the youth of today are in the wrong, they will realize it in a few years and take steps to prevent their progeny from following in their footsteps.” In a round table discussion following the lecture, led by Principal Burgess of the high school I and Dean Kendal and Prof. Tapy, j of Wabash College, members of \ the club agreed that at least 95 per cent of modem youth is of good moral character. They estimated this percentage' is higher than that of the two or three generations preceding the present. It was pointed out that if this were not the case, the 5 per cent who are admittedly bad. could not achieve the notoriety they get. SEEKS NEW TRIAL Stephenson Wants Chance to Testify for Himself.

WHIM OF JUDGE < MAY RESULT IN QUIZ RENEWAL Bread Trust Case Likely to Be Reopened by U. S. j By ROSCOE FLEMING WASHINGTON. Feb. 18.—Because a Federal judge resented being compared to Pontius Pilate, the whole case involving the government's action against the once proposed two billion dollar “bread trust”, of the Ward interests may be reopened. Federal Judge Morris A. Soper, of Baltimore, has been notified that he may appear before a subcommittee of .the Senate Judiciary Committee, to testify his action in signing the so-called consent decree entered into by Department of Justice and Ward attorneys, which stopped organization of the two billion dollar baking combine. Rejiort Criticized Soper Soper asked for chance to appear because of the report made by the majority members of subcommittee. Senator Walsh of Montana and Senator Borah of Idaho, criticizing Soper, calling Attorney General Sargent derelict in duty, and attacking the Federal Trade Commission. When the two billion dollar company was announced in spring of 1926, the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice already had under investigation the Continental Baking Company, largest of Ward’s companies, with sixteen individual units. Consent Decision Given The Department of Justice instituted action against the proposed combine. Consent decision was arrived at, by which organization of the two billion dollar merger was stopped. In addition, the decree, signed by Judge Soper. April 3. 1926. stipulated that the Department of Justice proceeding against the Continental should be stopped, on the ground that the Federal Trade Commission was investigating it. But the Federal Trade Commission had dismissed its own proceeding against the Continental on the previous day, so that the company was relieved from both Federal inquisitions almost simultaneously. When the subcommittee investigated the proceeding last year it was told by Abram F. Myers, then a member of the Department of Justice staff, and now a member of the Federal Trade Commission, that lie had informed Soper of the commission’s action, but that he signed the decree nevei tlieless.
