He died like hero. Almost with

unfolded a tale of horror, going
into detail of confession made by
Henry Grimes, who was drowned
in July. 1927, near the spot where
the lads body was found.
According to the story told by
the brother of the lads killer,
Henry was driving through the
town and ran the Baker boy down.
Picking the lad up. the driver of
thes death car is said to have be-
come alarmed and, instead of TAX
ing Albert to a hospital or to his
home. drove to the woods near the
Grimes farm.
Albert, according to the man. died
shortly after being knocked from the
bicycle. Henry Grimes. according
to the brother, became alarmed and
left the body in the woods near the
farmhouse. Later that night, the
confession states, Henry Grimes
buried the small body.
Abram told police that his brother
related the entire story to him
about six weeks after the lad was
killed.
1t was just two months after
finding of the boys body that the
two Grimes brothers were working
on bridge over the river. Abram
related.
Falls In Water
Henry fell in the water, he said,
and he went to his rescue but the
man refused aid and was drowned.

The men told their rescuers that

BERLIN, July 14.-Persistent but
unconfirmed reports from Moscow
told of the rescue of the six
missing members of the Italia
crew who were carried aloft with
the dirigible's gas bag when the
ship crashed on the morning of
May Is.
According to the reports. which
were circulated by a Soviet news
agency, the men were rescued by
the ice-breaker Krassin which now
has seven survivors of the Italia's
crew aboard, alive and safe.

Some officials of the Soviet re.

Our reader has scrubbed across the face of the
picture: Also Sinclair, Stewart, Fall Doheny and
the Others He asks to write an editorial on the
subject
Obviously it is his view that Sinclair Fall ct al,
are getting away with and it is easy to understand
why he should think so. With all the bribery cor
rupton and theft thus far exposed nobody is yet in
jail. It does seem discouraging, doesn't it?
But, after ALL isn't the situation one for optimism?
Read that list of names again. Is there happy man
among them? Hardly. Dodging and running, cor
nered in court and wriggling out still pursued and
their pursuerS growing in number what manner of
life is that for so-called successful business men?
No. we don't think they're happy We think they
are beginning to pay and that it will be long time
before they cease to pay, if ever
1t isn't in their preliminary suffering however,
that we find our basis for optimism 1t is in the
state Of public affairs whole. No longer is it
situation in which men of wealth can hope to seize
public property through corruption and fraud.
1t may be that part Of the present Administration
still believes in giving away national resources
but not in exchange for tainted money This is a
clear gain the situation of few years ago.
Further evidence of the gain is given by the
overwhelming demand for the nomination of man
like Herbert Hoover. The dominant political party is
dubious record. 1t is in mood to nominate a real
man.
Events that followed the mistake Of 1920 are clearly
in mind The mistake will not be made again in

There Will Be No Feast

Boyd Gurley, editor of The Times, crossing
the ocean for vacation after two years Of
work about as arduous as man could under
take, stopped at the Azores to view scenes
where history was made centuries ago, and
where, more recently, Ruth Elder laid the base
for fat vaudeville tour by falling out of an
airplane.
From there he is on his way to Lisbon, then
Palermo, TO disembark at Naples for rest and
recreation, mostly in the Mediterranean region.
"About all the thrill we get on this voyage
is to watch for the next gull, - is the word he
sends back to Indianapolis.
And gray gull, scudding before the wind,
undoubtedly is a more pleasing sight, for a
change, than Indiana political birds of i'll
omen scudding for the nearest bondsman.
This leads up to the baseless rumors, given
circulation in a number of Indiana newspapers,
headed "Gurley Leaves The Times. Policy of
The Times to Be Changed. Soft Pedal on Po-
litical Exposes
The wish undoubtedly is father to the
thought-if such rumors may be dignifed by
being called thoughts-as far as the fleeing
forces of super-g government in Indiana are con-
cerned
But Boyd Gurley has not been "unloaded"
by The Times, as Hoosierdom's political cor
ruptionists so ardently wish. He is on leave of
absence which thousands of his followers, not
only in Indiana, but all over the Nation, hope
and may feel assured-will bring him back
home better equipped physically to carry on
his work, the work which already so signally
has aided in cleaning up the deplorable gov
ernmental conditions in this commonwealth.
Furthermore, The Times is not backing
down on its policies, or travelling the soft pedal
route.
The Times will continue to fight for what
it considers right and constructive and relent-
lessly combat that which it considers wrong.
The Times has not pulled its punch" in
the past Neither will this newspaper do so
in the future.
So the buzzards may go back to their roosts.
There will be no feast.

A MIDDLE That Is a Menace

Public opinion does not approve OF the RUE OF
politicians in any kind Of public business 1t does
PINOT fight such rule openly until abuses become
too fragrant
If there is any type Of public business winch

and the care Of the sick. Sunnyside TuoerculoslS
sanatorium faces crisis 1t over the shortage
of water For more than a week now county,
owned institution has forced to operate at less
than one-third its capacity
Only ninety patients are at sunnySide. The ca
nacitv Is 3oO Dr. Harold 8. Hatch, superintendent,
hopes that some of the ISL sent to their homes due
to the water shortage return early this week.
Workmen are seeking to recondition one OF the TWO
wells out of commission.
Meanwhile county officials apparently are max
ing a sincere effort to remedy the present situation
and to prevent recurrence. Certainly their pc
litical instincts force on them the realization that
the public will not permit unnecessary delays In this
vital matter. The officials know they cannot play
with the lives, or at least the safety and comfort,
of the tuberculosis patients
The time has arrived when necessity demands
more than the appointment OF investigating
mitteeS and hearing reports Of engineers. In the
week the present situation has prevailed, the work
of the county has consisted Of two meetings with the
sanatorum board of managers the hearing Of an en-
gineer's report interviews with we'll company repre-
sentatives and the whole hearted agreement that
something must be done"
The public demands the situation be corrected, and
with least possible delay. A few thousand dollars at
the most would put down and adequate wells.
The COST always important in public business, is of
secondary Importance this time
The public stands behind the board of managers.
These men and women hold their appointments be-
cause they have an interest in the work, and they
have done great things for Sunnyside. For more
than a year they and DR.. Hatch have tried to get
the water situation remedied before the arrival of the
present crisis The county council cut out an ap-
preparation to fix it,
The board of managers consisting of DR.. Alfred
Henry, DR.. David Ross, Mrs. M. F. Ault and Irving
Lemaux foreSaw months ago what has happened.
Not only is county plant valued at thousands
of dollars facing almost inevitable ruin in case Of
fire. but it is being forced to operate far below its
capacity at time when the waiting list for admit
lance contains scores Of names.
Should fire break out at Sunnyside, the sanatorium
would be at the mercy of the flames. Only few
chemical extngushers would be available $4,000
gallon storage tank now in would be only
mentary help And the ninety patients there the
supply Of water the one we'll is able to produce.
The public will not permit such condition to
prevail for long.

Era of Edison

The age of Lincoln finds its true
reflection in the age of Edison.
Scientific emancipation comes as a
natural follow-up to political
emancipation. This world would
not be free for the inventor If it
had not first been made free for the
citizen.
Progress by evolution is the child
Of democracy.
Men refused to believe that their
habits and customs could be changed
without grave risk until they had
been shown that government could
be changed. The divine right of
kings found its most terrible express
sion in the divine right of every
thing to stay put.
If Thomas A. Edison had been
born in the reign of James I, in
stead of the administration of James
K. Polk, he would have been hung

Unfair to Republicans

If, as now seems clear the Republican national
committee shared along with Albert B. Fall in the
mysterious profits of the Continental Trading Com
pany, there is thing the national committee could
do. It could return the money 1t should return the
money. This. though the national committee
or its agents prove that 1t was totally unaware
that the money in question was tainted.
The Republican party Is composed of millions of
honorable men and women. The national committee
is the authorized representative of these men and
women. The committee has put the party in posi-
ton that is unfair to the rank and file.
1t is condition that can be corrected easily
enough if the party managers desire to deal fairly
with the men and women they represent.

Doubling Too Much

Admiral Plunket is about like
those farm hands who rioted when
the Mccormick Reaper first was
exhibited. He does not like to think
Of peace through a League Of Ma
lions, World Court or any other
medium, because he cannot see how
it is possible. Besides, it interferes
with his profession, and that
human nature of which he speaks
makes each and every one susceptible
to such an influence.
If science has done so much in
the field of heat, light, power, travel
and transportation, why should we
assume that it cannot do something
to promote better understanding
among the people?
If it has shown us how to illu-
inmate cities without candles, why
not admit that it may show us hos
to preserve peace without systematic
suspicion and a display Of arms?
If it has found the means of
carrying the voice overseas, Why
doubt that it may find the means of
carrying good will?
There is just as much wrorlS in
doubling too much as there 4 in
hoping too much.

Refinement and Reform

On Feb. II Will be celebrated the birthday OF
Frances E. Willard, famed temperance worker who
as much as any other person, paved The way for
prohibition In this country
1t is instructive to read that in the days Of her
hardest work there was almost no mention Of her
in the stately ladies magazines" of her day. For
she was not considered refined; she did not stand
upon the niceties of social observance but plunged
into the fight and made her own rules
That is the way it usually is with people who get
great things done. They are not considered ere

down on them But later on, monuments are raised

A weekend of birthdays, with
Lincoln's topping them all.
Thomas A. Edison cuts a cake and
looks out on the world. So does
Admiral Plunkett, but through what
different eyes!
The admiral uses a sword instead
OF a knife and his remarks are
quite in keeping with the implc-
ment.
He is for outlawing war If any,
one can find way, but thus far
nobody has, and he sees little hope
of peace friendship. except through
force. Human nature is the STUN
bling block. Other things may
change, but human nature does not.
wherefore, the admiral sees no
method but the one we inherited
from the cavemen.
He is for fairness, but those who
don't like this country, they can get
out.
Patriotism and the Government
absolutely are synonymous in his
opinion, which always has been the
cry of despots, though Admiral
Plunkett hardly means it that way.

Jerusalem, like Antioch, Athens,
Alexandria, Carthage, and Rome it

The expectation of deliverance

Fear Of Change Lost

Twenty-Five years ago, we still
we're asserting that men would
never fly, but today there are hun
dreds of thousands doing it, while
there is not one sorry, sceptical or
angry.
The fact that Marconi discovered
radio is less important, perhaps,
than is the fact that millions of
boys can make and operate radio
sets.
The greatest triumph of Amer
icanism lies in the way it has dem
onstrated human adaptibility.
Civilized peoples no longer fear
change. The superstition that revo-
lutionary methods necessarily are
wrong entirely has disappeared, with
the exception of that new order
which Woodrow Wilson visualized.
With regard to war and peace, the
world still is plagued by too much
of the fourteen century attitude.
