Nav His Smile Remain

The most colorful figure in the public life of
Indiana has obeyed the voice Of the Great
Prompter and stepped from the stage Of
human activities forever. Lew Shank is gone.
To thousands there will be more than the
mourning for man who played rather large
part in public life. They will miss him as a
part Of their own lives the man whose per-
petual good humor, whose keen perceptions,
whose keener epigrams could always be re-
lied upon to illumine, with smile, the prob
lens of public import.
His name will be spoken softly as one who
had drawn to himself an affection not based
upon position and prominence but upon sym
patty with the sentiments of the vast majority.
His was the genius which could turn an
epithet Of mockery into slogan of loyalty. He
thought with the majority. He put into words
what others held in the hidden recesses OF their
minds.
For years he has. been factor in public
life.
His strength was in his ability to smile and
fight at the same time He did not yield to
angers.
He saw through the shams ana TOOK Aeen
delight in exposing them.
Twice he was chosen mayor OF this city at
times when his election seemed more than an
improbability.
His ambitions to be Governor of the State
were wrecked upon hidden rocks whose
strength he did not realize.
But his fame did not rest upon his office nor
his powers. 1t came from his own strong
personality which radated with good nature
and with keen eye for hypocrisy and sham.
His smile and quip were more powerful than
oratory, more persuasive than argument. His
opponents and he had opponents rather than
enemies, feared him for his good natured
sarcasm!
Something Of color goes from public life
in Indiana with the sudden passing OF this
character The sun for many will shine today
little less brightly. To many there will be
moisture of eye and tremble Of voice as the
stories, u thousand stories, are recalled OF his
varied and very active life. n
May that smile, which ever tolerantly
beamed upon the foibles of his day and age
still beam beyond the skies

Laza, and Justice

In making contract to buy pickle business, a
man agreed to pay $4,000 on Oct. 1. He happened
at noon the appointed day with certified check
for $2500 The man who was selling the business
did not arrive until o'clock, after the banks in the
city were closed. He did not want to complete his
agreement to sell the pickle business because it had
increased greatly in value since the contract of sale
was made. When the certified check was offered he
refused to accept it and demanded cash. Cash was
not obtainable he asserted that the agreement to
make the payment had not been complied with and
refused to go through with the sale. The man who
sought to buy the business sued him for breach OF
contract, contendng that when he offered certified
check drawn nearby bank he complied with the
agreement to make the payment.
HOW WOULD YOU DECIDE THIS CAsEf
The actual decision: United States Circuit Court
of Appeals held that the agreement to make the pay
nent had not been complied with The court said that
the seller had the right to insist payment in legal
tender and that certified check did not this

Asking the Eternal Question

British traveller says that recently, when in the
dominion of South Africa, very old and very black
Kafhr chief asked him:
who's that fellar, gov'ment, an why he take
my money!"
The old chap unwittngly asked the eternal ques-
ton. Since man first began to set up forms of gov
eminent, man has been asking that same thing.
We have all been sure that nothing is certain in
this world but death and taxes The taxeater we
have continually with All political squabbles
all our political parties, all political battles are
more less based upon, taxes.
The 'ins" want to continue to levy the taxes and
spend them. The "outs" want to get in to do the
same thing.
And half the time the plain citizen wants to know
what is done with all the money And often he gets
no very good answer.

Dr. Eusebio Morales, Panama delegate to the

and suggests the dispute be settled by the world

whereupon dignified officials in Washington looked
startled and made reply. Dispute? they asked What
dispute? There is no dispute over the Canal Zone
to settle The United States is absolutely master
there and that is that.
However, fear the matter is not quite as easily
disposed of as that. Unquestionably our intentions
with regard to Panama clear day. But for
reasons more or less laudable depending upon the
way one looks at it, we did leave our status down

Lincoln Steffens once called Philadelphia "ccr upt

scription of any city, but so when applied to
the city where the Liberty Bell rang its CAL to
the city where the Constitution and the Declaration OF
Independence written where the first Cont
mental Congress assembled
Dominated by one Of the most vicious political
machines in America. Philadelphia, year after year.
permitted this machine to haunt the wishes of its
citizenship and disregard the ballots of its voters It's
rulers were politicians who worked their way up from
the ranks stepping from job to better with
the mayoraly of the rewards for the most de-
serving.
The height of the machines dictation was reached
when last fall it elected William S. Ware to the United
States Senate But when it did that it forced nation
al attention and shamed Philadelphians.

Commercial Flying Gains

In spite Of such tragedies as
this, and in spite of the many
more tragedies that occur in con-
nection with useless stunts, COM
mercial flying steadily is pro-
crossing.
Assistant Secretary of Com
merce McCracken announces the
mail airways now open or soon to
be opened in this country cover
more than eleven thousand miles
and that twenty-four lines are
carrying mail, four Of which are
equipped 70 carry passengers. s
During the first half Of this
year American pilots few more
than twelve million miles. This
does not include test flights, races
and stunts.
Commercial flying. not only in
America but in most other coun-
tries, has not only become i'm
pressively free from accidents, but
is growing freer all the while.
The shocking effect Of the Ger
man accident consists mainly in
the fact that it is one among very
few.

Want Calendar Change

When 1t meets in December,
Congress will be asked to adopt
the metric system and change the
calendar.
There is probably nothing Con-
gress could do that would mean
more by way of convenience TO
the American people.
The calendar now in use is just
a hodge, podge of irregularities
and traditions. So, too, are the
tables of weights and measures.
With the metric system, which
is based on a common unit and
which is worked in decimals, the
average child would be saved from
six months to q year in his study
of arithmetic.
With calendar year of thir-
teen months divided into four
weeks each, every bank and BUSH
ness enterprise could cut its book
keeping force by a definite per-
centage.
