This man John pillingor is a desperado, a killer, a robber, and a general, all jaround rat. Yet somehow he has caught the imagination . cf a good part of his fellow-countrymen. The people of his jhonve town Jmve actually circulated a petition calling on the" frovemor of Indiana to give him amnesty; unquestionably, (there are a lot more people who hope to sec him continue to foil the law and escape punishment. Why should tills he? Why nhould the people of the United Btntos, In the eventful year of 1B34, wit to work to bulla up a romniitlc Robin Hood legend about a low-browcd crlnilmtl whoso sole distinction seems to be that ho Is tho most vicious thug unhanged? Partly, perhaps, It comes as a reaction from our years of reading about Ohlcagoese gangRtcrs, These lads, the racketeers and. hl-Juckci-s and muscle men, wero always too buslncHfl ltko and cautious to tako on a romantic glamour. They did not no much fight with tho police as connive with them. They used hired killers to gain their ends. When they killed their men, they killed by treachery, shooting from behind; 'tho great American Institution of "the ride" Is the very acmo of cowardly, .safety-first cunning. DllUngcr is moro like a throw back to tlie bad men of tho old west. He has truded shots with his vic tims In the pld-tlmo style, and risked his neck aplenty In Ills forays. As a result, ho has been built up Into an Impossible character: a sort of combination of Jcsso James, Billy tho Kid and Robin Hood, for whom law nbldlng cltlrHB are willing to sign petitions asking clemency. All this, perhaps. Is human and natural. But It Is nevertheless a queer and foolish mistake. For when all has been said and done, Dllllnger Is a menace to public safety, a homicidal -freak who deserves ucltlior admiration nor sym pathy. The silly sontlineutallly that trios to make a hero out of him Is as brainless a display as wo Americans have mado In many a mouth. Dll llnger needs to be shot on sight by the first cop who spots him.

It developed that this point was tho ono tho protcsUmU held wiv an injimtlco. Melvlllo said Uio lUet was to prevent dirty barns close to someone's residence. Later, it waa pointed out by ono of tho protostauts that the ordlnanco made no monuon of foul housing for animals or birds, and suggeHted that the 60-foot limi tation could bo removed and some other provision Inserted to make own ers of dirty barns, etc. keep tliem clean. E. R. Rlngo, city attorney, explain ed his Ideas In writing tho ordinance amendment. Orlder replied that al ready two or thrco people have dis posed of their cows .because thoy feared arrest and a iO0 fine, und added that tjio meaning of tlie or dinance was very plain to him. Jim Fitzgerald said that his born waa within 30 feet of another home, tliut he had always tried to keep it clean, and then called on his neigh bor for proof. Tho neighbor said he had been hi several house In town and that some of them wero not as clean as Fitzgerald's barn, and tliut ho had never had occasion to com plain about the barn. Melville at thl point said: "If we ve made a mistake, youil find that we aro big enough to acknowledge 11," Fitzgerald replied: "I hope so." Be vera! others spoke during the meeting, among them Bird Bennett who suggested that he had faith In the city commission's good intentions aud was sure they would urrango the matter to the satisfaction of all. An other man said Ifi the ordinance were enforced, it would throw 100 Ija Grnudo families onto tho county for old.
