pany bonds are accepted.
 ''If some of those men are released on bonds," said the district attorney today, q hope the others will be re- leased. I would not like to see men like Cunnane, Paynter and Mccain, for instance, kept in the penitentiary because of inability to give bond, while Tveitmoe and Clancy, guilty as they can be, are out on bonds. And I believe that Tveitmoe and Clancy, the worst of the lot, would be able to furnish bonds regardless of any re- strictions that might be placed in na- ture and character of the ,NndS."
 Also there is small likelihood that the defendant will have to be brought back to Indianapolis to fur nish their bonds.

 The federal statutes do not permit cash bonds, but if money is raised by the friend sand attorneys of the de- fendants it may be put in the hands of surety companies or other bonds men to indemnify them against loss if the bonds are forfeited.

Scouts Training Saves Life.

The effectiveness of a scout training
was demonstrated recently in New
Canaan, Connecticut, when Allen
Wood, a boy scout II years old saved
his brother Irwin. 8 years old from
being burned to death. Irwin loves 20
play fireman, and to start bonfires. He
did that the other day, and Allen, who
had been watching him went away for
a minute to join his mother. Sudden
" Irwin gave scream. and Allen was
startled to see his brother enveloped in
flames. AT that critical juncture. young
Allen ran toward his little brother AS
he did so, he drew out mis- scout knife
and opened 1t. Selling Irwin's jacket
by the collar. he ripped 1t open down
the back, and hurled the burning cloth
to one side. BY this time Mrs. Wood
was at Twins side, and all she had
to do was to pick him up. dressed only
in his underclothes, which had not
caught fire, and carry him into the
house. Irwin was not injured, and Al
len escaped with some slight burns
on his hands.

Good Results of
Direct Primaries.

The beneficial results of direct pri-
maries and the stin better results of
what may be hoped for should the
country adopt the plan of the direct
election Of United states senators. was
never more apparent than in several
senatorial elections that have been
held within the past week.
In Nebraska, democratic legisla-
ture was forced to elect George w.
Norris. republican. Norris was the
choice of the people and 1t is to be
hoped he win make good senator.
Out IN Oregon. where q state law
makes the primary absolutely binding,
legislature almost solidly republican
had to elect Harry Lane. a live. pro-
gressive democrat. This Is the second
time an Oregon legislature. nearly all
republicans. had to elect democrat
unwillingly. That state has within
the past decade grown 20 be very pro-
gressive. but the old machine is 50
strong in many counties that II yet
controls the legislature. However
under the direct primary law. the peo-
pie choose their senators. by direct
