THE EVANSVILLE BANK ROBBERY

The pair of nitwits who stuck up the Evansville national bank were out to make some easy money. If their minds dwelled on other pos- abilities they probably thought an aggregation of country constables could not follow them. Perhaps they did not expect to repent at leisure. All they could see was the money that was in it. They got the money some money-but cannot keep it. To make the catch complete third man, charged with instigating the robbery, also has been bagged. As this was written one of the trio held was reported as having admitted his complicit: the other two say they are innocent. The latter will be given a fair opportunity to prove their contentious.
 One of those little tricks of fate which helps to keep the scales of justice evenly balanced worked to their undoing. One of the Plainville constables with whom the town found fault recently got his big op- portunity when the man-hunt start ed, and 1t was he who landed one of the suspects.
 Holding up a bank in section of the country where towns are close together is made more pre- carious through that fact. This sec tion lacks the density of metro- politan city, which so frequently serves to permit crooks to Hose themselves" in the crowds; and it lacks the sparsity of the wide open spaces, where there is wide room for hiding. As soon as the Plantsville robbery was committed posses from a dozen towns, large and small, were
 
 securing the vicinity. and when an abandoned automobile was found everything was over but the shout ing.
 Now that an apparent victory perches on the side of the law it can be said without the slightest op- portunity for disagreement that the authorities handled the situation in remarkably efficient manner. The net that was spread throughout the country side was airtight. Had the two foolish men paused to consider all the possibilities before they adopted their nefarious method of obtaining money "quickly and cas- lily" they surely would have held themselves in check.

CLEAN GOVERNMENT WINS
 IN INDIANAPOLIS

Friends Of good city government everywhere will hail the result of the municipal election in Indian apolis with satisfaction. At a time when political corruption In nearby Louisville has twice shocked the middle west, citizens of the Indiana capital gave unmistakable signs of being disgusted with politics as it has been played in their own city and overwhelmingly voted for the institution of the commission -city manager form in their city. J
 The three newspapers in Indian apolis have been influential factors in bringing about this desirable change. They have unstintingly shown up the excessively rotten po- litical condition irrespective of party, and recently Mayor Duval and a fair number of his underling officials were charged with political corruption-to use a very mild term covering a multitude \ of alleged wrong-doing. New charges were be- ing filed this week, in fact, and it is to the credit of the citizens of that large western city that they got tired of the type of government which mismanaged their city.
 In addition to Indianapolis being the second largest city to adopt the improved system of civic govern ment, it will be the second city in the state to possess commission and city manager, Michigan City be- ing the other. This is notable in a state where it has been made diffi- cult for a city to change from po- litical government to efficient gov ernment. The politicians, indeed, have fixed things SO that Indian
 
 apolis cannot begin enjoying the fruits of her voting this week until 1oS0, but it is to be hoped that this palpably unconstitutional trick will be upset in the courts, where 1t is to be decided shortly.
 Cleveland is the larger city having the commission form. It has worked perfectly in that city, as 1t has in most other cities where 1t has been tried. Cincinnati, like Indiana polls, went through political furnace be- fore adopting the improved system. Connecticut is one of the states where everything possible has been put in the way of cities adopting 1t, but even in this case three cities, New London. Stratford and West Hartford, went in for it. The effect in other cities in the state has been wholesome. politicians being par ticularly anxious not to bring about conditions leading up to a crusade for the newer form of government. This advantage is frequently over looked.
 They need city manager in Louisville, without a doubt: it is not able that in Kentucky only one town, Cynthiana, has adopted the new form of government. Kentucky is one of those states which still likes its politics hard boiled, as is the case in other states which are afraid of honest city government, uninfluenced by the vagaries of po- !itical managers.

statement from the judge that the business must be stopped.
 This has been going on for years with no appreciable results. In a week or so, after the railroads "polezie" are out of town, who will say that the same old track-walking will not again predominate?
 Of course and absolutely, people ought not to walk on railroad tracks. It is unsafe. wrong. is trespassing. and all the rest of 1t. But they keep it up all the same: at least have been doing so for years The rail- road is alarmed: always has been. It doesn't wish to kill anybody if it can help 1t. which is good policy. It is the minimizing, in-a-hurry pub lie which is to blame for all this hull lubaloo. Some time ago a factory Ndo ASpOAlCu aS tootlh6 AotiSco sAos not an employe would be allowed to walk on the tracks. Small good 1t did, so far as the human eye can discern.
 The judge says he is going to double the fine from now on. We'll and good, perhaps: but what every track-walker knows isthat the rail- road spotters will be out of town shortly and there will be nobody on hand to do the arresting. At least, that has been the experience in the past. This year it may be diff ferent: but the year is long.
 Some railroads don't care a hoot whether anyone trespasses on their precious tracks. But the New Haven is more particular. The New Haven is a bear for making itself unpopu- lar with track-walkers.
 If the railroad were equally as jealous about not permitting trains to block the numerous crossings in the city that would really amount to something. Trainmen who cause such blockades. however, are very rarely arrested and fined.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2 (P-Week-end
profit taking and occasional short
selling impaired some irregularity to
today's stock market, but the general
trend was again upward, with the high
grade industrials leading the advance.
Offerings which came into the market
as a result of the desire of many trad

counts over the holiday were generally
welllabsorbed and failed to halt opera

Trading in the various commodity

FARM RELIEF IS
CAMPAIGN ISSUE

WASHINGTON, Sept. Ex-senator
Borah, republican, Idaho, declared to-
day upon his return to Washington
that despite good crops and fair prices,
the farm situation was still acute in
the west and would be a dominating
issue in the next presidential cam
paign.
mo candidate will be nominated
who does not come through with a
practical farm relief proposition" he
added. while the McNary bill will
by no means receive universal support,
wheat brokers are for it. and I un-
derstand it will be re-introduced at
the next session.
"The relief of our farmers will large

than $15,00O,000 in brokers loans wiped
out the unexpected decrease of the
week before, but was disregarded as a
market factor. The persistent demand
for some of the seasoned dividend pay
ing issues lent color to the belief that
substantial portion of the $250,0O0,-
900 distributed in dividends this week
would find it's way back into the
market.
!The weekly mercantile reviews re-
ported further Irregularities, in the
business situation, but there were no
points of actual weakness.
Reports that the u. S. Steel corpor-
alton had increased from 70 to 81
per cent of capacity stimulated some
early buying in steel common, but the
price closed around 1875, yesterdays

Public utilities grew into favor with
operators for the ADVANCE, partly due
to, expression in some speculative
quarters of belief that these shares
are selling out of line. 4 American
Water Works, old and new, Abitibi
Power, International Telephone and
North American were among the lead
ers, which sold into new high territory.
Some ofs the tire shares attracted
strong support, particularly Goodrich
and Kelly Springfield and 8 per
cent preferred, both of which reached
new tops Retails stores again re-
flected the outlook for good fall busi-
ness, Montgomery Ward and Sears
Roebuck mounting into new maximum
ground, followed by Gotham Silk Hos
iesy. Tabocco shares also displayed
strength.
Not few of the high priced indus
trials and specialties were included in
the March to years high figures, not
ably Dupont, Baldwin, General Elec-
trio, Allied Chemical and several
others This was largely factor in
carrying the average of 20 leading in
