Good County Government IS rather unfortunate that county officers have to be = elected on the same day as state and national legislative — officers: Sodio Too often candidates. stasd]o or fall on national issues and policies which actually do mot in the least concern the “Jobs they perform in the courthouse. The local issues are ~ almost wholly how well this candidate or that one can fill a county job. We hope they will get more than a casual look next Tuesday. We have not in a long time had in Marion County a Prosecuting Attorney who seemed to us to live up fully to the possibilities of his job. It is an important office, the chief law enforcement office of the county. _A really alert, aggressive prosecutor, we have long believed, could not only

perform invaluable service'to the people of the county, but guarantee his own political future. Too often, in the past,

manner.

GEORGE s, DAILEY has served for two years in at + ileast the best of that local tradition. He did a fine job in ithe re-trial of the sensational Watts case, with -evidence carefully prepared and ably presented. On the other hand ‘he brushed off the shocking evidence of fraud in relief food Hdistribution in spite of evidence laid in his lap that seemed ‘to us much more complete and conclusive ‘than any he had in ihe murder trial. The gambling rackets which. plague the county have Become no bigger during his term in office ._. . but they Have certainly not been noticeably reduced, either. + Both he and his opponent, Frank Fairchild, promise to lish those rackets if elected Tuesday. We grant both complete sincerity of intention . . . but fnicly we doubt if either of them can actually do 80. erhaps if rackets are kept from growing it is as much as ve have aright i expect.

Experts See Chinese Interventjon as Limited

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4- Direct intervention “of Chinese troops in the Korean War creates difficult new problems, military and political. Even though American and United Nations experts prove correct in their guess that this intervention is and will continue to be limited, still it is exceedingly embarrassing. : ' Of course if they are guess“ing wrong, and a large-scale attack is impending, then there is grave risk of a full Asian war leading fo World War III. * Putting ‘the best face on it, the official assump-

Can't Latch On :

AROUND the state are some “regular” Demacrats who say they “just haven't been able to latch onto the Ferguson campaign.” Mr. Ferguson is perfectly at home on a political platform. He makes little or no attempt to discuss in fine detail the major problems confronting the country but wages an aggressive attack on Mr, Taft in simple, understandable Janguage that everybody can get.
