In case of no election in the
House of Representatives then by
the next fourth of March the Senate

numbers 266. Wisconsin, Minnesota.
North Dakota. South Dakota. Ne
braska. Montana. Idaho, Colorado
and Wyoming, with a total of sixty
electoral voices, would be a good nu-
cleus.
Let past history confirm this.
La Follette's candidacy, if an
nounced, will not be an attempt to
throw the election into Congress.
but the stubborn demand at the
polls throughout the Nation for in
dorsement Of the simple political phi
losophy that public service in the
democracy Of the United States de
mands a stewardship of honest. cou-
rageous, intensive struggle in the
interest of the many against the
privileged few.
Over forty years of La Follette's
public service breathes the spirit Of
integrity.
With the same courage than ami
mated a life's struggle for principle
and conviction, La Toilette, in be-
half of a righteous electorate. is de-
handing hat the old parties purge
themselves of their evil influences.
With that as challenge, the Ma
ton is witnessing the might of right
and truth in the hands Of it's ably
seasoned spokesman--Robert NJ. La
Toilette.
The calm judgment Of the masses
Is sound. The dignifed mandate
will be obeyed, or a long suffering
and indignant people" will function
at the polls under the solemn privi-
leges of a democracy.

chine, which makes the light glare
right in the center Of the road. If
the spotlight was on the left Of
the car, not only the driver him
self, but the man coming toward
him could see the entire road clearly
and there would be no DANCE, Of
crowding each other off the ROAD -
there is now. While driving in
Knightstown only last Sunday right
we met the one man who had the
right idea, and it was a pleasure to
meet such a man on the road. He
had his spotlight on the left and
his lights dimmed and was driving
fast, too, hut you could see his ma.
chine as plain as day for his spot
was on Iull force and did not con.
fuse any one else on the road. We
came directly coward him with no
difficulty at all. for there was no
glare on the road, while it was per.
fectly a clear view from his spot all
across the road.
Now, come on motorists and let a
few more Of us try to be true
knights Of the road, just like
KnightstoWn was.
Don't wait for a law, but show

she is your wife.
All this because we met the one

The Corner COP
BY HAL COCHRAN

You've all heard that whistle that
scares va to death; you've all
brought your a to a stop. You've
all surely ,trembled while holding
your breath. What for? Why, the
old corner cop!
Consider this fellow who rules, in
the street, the traffic that passes all
day. He tells you to stop" or he
tells you to go" as he passes the
drear hours away.
Perhaps you have broken a law Of
the street. The cop is the reason
you're caught. A judge, in the
morning, you're likely to greet, and
you pay for the lesson that's taught.
You walk out of court and you're
cussing the cop till it ruins your
blamed indigestion. But, listen, old
man. you viii find, if you stop,
there's another real side to the
question.
The fellow who's guarding the
corners all day is living in danger
and strife. Consider the fact that
he's working all day and his work
is protecting your life.

AND CRIME
thing else again.

r HE Rev. Simon Peter Long of Chicago agrees with us that
! atheism was an important factor in sending Leopold and
Loeb into their career of crime.
But we do not agree with the Rev. Long when he blames
"Iarge universities for the state Of mind of Leopold and Loeb,
declaring that they develop the intellect at the expense of the
SOUL
It seems to us that it is no. the business of great universities
to develop the soul, except insofar as the right use of the intel
lct and the study of ethics is itself a development of the soul.
The development of the soul in its main sense-the cultivation
Of the spiritual lfe-is the business of the church.
Nor can we fail to recall that if intellect uncontrolled by re-
Igon leads to crime, it is no less true that religion, uncontrolled
by the intellect, also leads to murderous fanaticism. Witness
the fortunes which both Catholics and Protestants inflicted on
each other at the time of the Reformation.
The truth probably is that the causes which made Leopold
and Loeb criminals were a mixture of several different kinds.
In a small degree physical, a certain Unborn tendency in a large
a selfish scorn Of the individual rights Of others, and an absence
Of love Of God and felowman.
If such causes are to be removed from the lives of other
boys, religionsts must not dismiss science as bunk and scien-
fists must not dismiss religion as bunk. We will be successful in
roofing out evil only if religion welcomes the light of science
and science welcomes the light Of religion.
UNDOUBTEDLY the rum runners will use submarines

WHAT goes up must come down, was not spoken of
the cost of living.
AN EASTERN widow must pay $4,000 for stealing an
other womans husband, an %exorbitant price for a shopworn
article, as every married woman will admit.
WE may disagree as to politics, religion, governmental
forms, world courts, ETC., but, bless us, our minds are as one on
the suggestion that the umpire is a rotten robber.
PRECEPTRESS of prominent eastern finishing school for
girls has arrayed herself against the use Of cosmetics. That is,
she does not like to see that sort of finish.

Nv distinction, June 10.--Not
w the least Of the considera-
- tons entering into the pre-
convention maneuvering of the
Democratic chieftains are the ages
of the respective candidates for the
presidential nomination.
For the purposes of these leaders
the individuals considered as posi-
bilities" are merely pawns in a game,
TO be advanced or withdrawn as the
~eXigencies of the play proceeds.
Neither sentiment nor personal 10y
atty is permitted to stand in the way
Of making the play that promises to
bring success to the particular inter
ests or groups behind the game.
This matter of age enters into the
plans of the play through the coolly
considered possibility that the man
put at the top Of the ticket might
nor live out his term.
Failing to get across the particular
man or sort of man they desire as
the nominee for President. it might
then become preferable to help
boost into first place the man most
likely to succumb to his years and
the burdens Of the office, seeking to
get into second place on the ticket
the nan or type Of man they would
really prefer as President.

wa ASHINGTON, June 10.-Be-
INHI sides not having to slip his
D bankroU q swift kick every
( time his income tax falls due, Mr..
John W. Taxpayer will soon save
many incidental kopecs as a result
of the operation o enlarged Fed
eral taxes recently performed by DR..
Congress.
When he goes to a show he viii
no longer have to pay a 10 per cent
tax If his ticket costs less than so
cents.
Neither viii he have to pay a tax
on telephone. telegraph, radio and
cable messages. Formerly he was
ricked 5 cent for everything in the
communication lines costing between
Il and so cents, and 10 cents for
everything costing more.
When he buys tires and acces-
series for his automobile he will only
have to- pay a tax Of 212 per cent
instead of ..
He will get out of paying a 5 per
cent tax when he buys jewelry, un-
less the article in question costs
more than $50. If he buys a new
watch ne won't have TO pay a ) per
Cenr tax unless the timapiecs costs
more than 500.
If he needs a new motor truck for
his business he can buy one tax free
provided he doesn't pay more than
$1,000 for the chassis and 5000 for
the body. He was formerly forced
to pay a tax of 8 per cent.
Some Of the other things on
which he VIII no longer have to pay
a tax are hunting and riding toys,
musical and surgical instruments,
carpets, rugs, trunks, purses, motor
boats, yachts and eyeglasses. 1t Will
ven cost him less to stage a murder,
as knives, dirks and daggers are list
ed tax exempt.
But while DR.. Congress- opera
ton will save Johns bank roll from
several painful gouges, it Will also
have the effect of stunning its growth
by gifts and inherited estates.
Estate Taxes
New estate tax ranges from 1
per cent on a net estate not in ex-
cess of $4,000 up to 40 per cent Of
the amount by which an estate ex-
ceeds $4,000 900. The high water
mark in the old law was only % per
cent of the amount in excess of
$40. 600. 900.
The gift tax is a new one. Fran
ers of the law say they made it to
keep Johns Uncle Caspar from wig
Cling out Of the estate tax by Civ
ing his favorite nephew various por-
tons Of his wealth while yet alive.
1t carries the same rates as the es-
tate tax, allowing an exemption OF
$50, 900 and also exemptions on gifts
for religious, charitable and public
purposes.
Changes in the direct tax on cor
porations won't affect John very
much, one way or the other. The
tax is still 1212 per cent on all net
profits, and only a few of the minor
details have been revamped.
Under the new tax regime it will
cost John a trifie more to entertain
the boys in a game of penny ante.
The tax on playing cards has been
raised from S to 10 cents a pack!
