McAdoo's Misstatements William G. McAdoo is quoted as saying the government originally took over the railroads because of congestion and straightened them out. Now, says Mr. McAdoo, within two months of the roads' return to private management, congestion exists again. In 1917 congestion developed because many different officials of the war and navy departments were issuing priority freight orders. There being no co-ordination of these orders, congestion was bound to develop. Congestion today is due to the effects of the recent "outlaw" strike and inadequate equipquipment. The "outlaw" strike resulted from the un
warranted delay of months by President Wilson to perform his promise to adjust the wages of the railroad men affected. The under-equipped condition of the railroads today is directly and solely chargeable to the government, which failed to provide for the
The Special Session of the Legislature If the special session of the legislature, which Gov. Goodrich contemplates calling, intends to take up many measures, besides the one
providing for the operation of the state institutions, members of the general assembly will spend forty days in Indianapolis. The public knows that there are a number of laws that require drastic amendment, among them the tax law, which is in general disfavor, not only with citizens, but with many leaders of both parties. If the emergency is great enough to warrant its amendment at once, the general assembly should stay in session until the reforms are written into that statute or it is striken from the books. The impression prevails that -the governor has delayed calling a special session because of
the political effect it might have at the next election, but he may rest assured that if the special session enacts remedial legislation, the public will not be slow to recognize its value, and will show its appreciation in the November election. Members of the legislature need have no fear about the result, if they refrain from playing politics and fearlessly enact the laws that are needed in the emergency. The public wants the business transacted as quickly as possible.

TIPPECANOE COUNTY MAN CELEBRATES KIS HUNDREDTH BIRTHDAY
Good Evening By Roy K. Moulton
Today's Talk By George Matthew Adams
A STORY AND SOME QUESTIONINGS. A friend of mine once told me the story of a barrel which was anchored in the sea near Cape Horn. In this barrel were placed bits of interesting data, magazine and newspaper articles, and letters. And whenever a ship passed near it would stop, take the letters and data left there, and replace new ones. So as time went on, this barrel came to be a veritable messenger of hope and cheer to hundreds of hungry sailors and men of the sea. But it is important to note that something new and interesting and helpful was always put into the barrel in lieu of what was taken out. The hearts of men and women are a kind of floating barrels. Into them somebody's gifts are always being placed. And we are all of us constantly taking out something from the inner lives and experiences of others that adds to our worth. But are we always as careful to put something back which is as helpful
and cheerinc as what we take out? A
Are we messengers of hope? Are we given to thinking of the other fellow who may come from some long and discouraging journey, and whose hunger of heart craves what we so abundantly are able to give? Those seamen fought through thick water and long storms to get what the
barrel would surely give.

LAFAYETTE, Ind., June 19. Charles C. Grimes, the step-father of Dr. M. M. Lairy. president of the Lafayette public Bchool board, observed the one hundredth anniversary of his birth, Saturday, June 19. Mr. Grimes,
4 so far as is known, is the only cen
tenarian in Tippecanoe county. He resides with his eon, Henry C. Grimes, on a farm east of Lafayette, and is in such feeble health that no celebration will be held. Mr. Grimes, however, still retains his mental faculties and is fond of re
lating about the "good old pioneer
days" when school houses were log cabins and railroads were unknown.
He came to this section of the state
from Lexington, Ky., in 1833 with his parents, traveling in a covered wagon typical of the early days. They were on the road seven weeks and two days when they finally settled near the town of Wallace in the southeastern corner of Fountain county. Served as Postmaster. Late Mr. Grimes became postmaster of Wallace, which position has been held by him or one of his descendents for 53 years, and at present
is held by one of his grandsons. He became a Mason at Covington in 1850, and is thought to be one of the oldest Masons in Indiana. In his long life Mr. Grimes has met and associated with many prominent men and he takes pleasure in telling
of Daniel Voorhpes and his father spending the night with the Grimes family when young Voorhees was on his way to college. Mr. Grimes was also intimately acquainted with Gen. Lew Wallace, author of "Ben Hur": John Purdue, founder of Purdue university, and many others now dead, who were prominently identified with early Lafayette history. WTien Mr. Grimes came to Lafayette in 1836 it was a rambling village of a few houses and the Wabash and Erie canal, for many years one of the prin
cipal artificial waterways of the United States, was being constructed. He voted the first time for James K. Polk, and altogether has voted at 19 presidential elections. He is the father of eight children, five of whom are still living.
American Express Co, Asks 25 Per Cent Rate Increase The American Railway Express company, which has offices in Richmond, has filed with the public service commission a petition for increased rates and for authority to change classifications. An exhibit filed by the company shows that on the basis of a test the proposal would result in approximately a 25 per cent, increase. The company directs the attention of the commission to the fact that it has now before the interstate commerce commission a petition for higher interstate rates. It hopes to have
the I. C. C. grant the petition before September 1, which is the date on which the federal guaranty against deficits expires. The company hopes to have the rates go into effect for in
trastate traffic at the same time the
interstate rates go into effect. For that reason it requests that the Indiana commission take no action now
but wait on the action of the I. C. S. A deficit of 522,000,000 was incurred
