. — ' 'i - f A REAL PARTY LEADER ; The rumor that Ray Andrews contemplates resigning as democratic city chairman is disquieting to many democrats, who recognize in Mr. Andrews one of the ablest and most adroit party managers, in.the city of Muncie. ..h ; j l| \ , „ Many of the committeemen are openly; rebelling at the idea of a new man taking the helm and Mr. Ahdrews’is being solicited every day to remain at the head of the organization, where he can be of vast benefit to the democratic party. Mr. Andrews served as city chairman four years ago and his successful management of the campaign was largely responsible for the overwhelming victory. Dr. Bunch was elected mayor on that occasion by a two to one vote and all other candidates won by phenomenal majorities. Dr. Bunch is out of the city as this is being written but it is believed that he will be loath to see a change made in the party leadership. There never was a time when things looked brighter for democratic success and the danger of placing the party management into the hands of inexperienced or erratic leadership is recognized by all thinking democrats.

THEY VOTED FOR A CHANGE Last fall the people of this nation, by a staggering majority voted for a change. The bill boards in every city in the United States were decorated by enormous posters with portraits of Harding and Coolidge. “Let us be done with wiggling and wobbling,” was the favorite battle cry of the Harding press agents. The people voted for the change and they got it. Now that it is too late they discover What was meant by a change. The factories did not start up, as promised; instead those that were running before election clqsed down, or at least most of them did. Never in -the history of our country have the laboring men and women been compelled to face this sort of a situation which now confronts them. Winter is coming on and thousands in Muncie are out of work and out of money. Apparently about the only people in the country who have money to burn are the traitorous profiteers who coined money out of the blood of our boys who fought in France. Thus far the administration has done but two things, to alleviate the situation; Made a dishonorable and treacherous separate peace with Germany and passed a high tariff bill. This is the sort of an administration that had.the audacity to criticize the wise and patriotic course of Woodrow Wilson. If the people had the opportunity today, how glad they would be to restore to power the man who was harried almost to his grave bV a gang of political buccaneers who jimmied their way into office under a cloak of fake patriotism.

MILK AND MEAT INSPECTION

An ordinance, prepared at the instance of a number of civic organizations, providing for milk and meat inspection and reqnipngfyhat all milk should be either certified or pasteurized, and that all dairy cattle should lie- HiI>^euJ‘fii4ested, has been presently to the council with the request that it be acted upon favorable. There is no doubt but that the general trend of the ardinanie is correct, but council should go slow in taking any action that might create a milk monopoly in Muncie without

seeing tbit that the price of milk is kept within reasonable bounds*. _ _ _ Ther^are hundreds of babies and little children in Muncie to- cioslnirat-el^crMimi^poTis^Septem-

day in the homes of unfortunate victims of Harding normalcy, vho ar|!undernournished because of the lack of plentiful quantity of good* wholesome milk, the natural food of childhood. What loes it flatter to the workless laboring people of Muncie whether i drop of milk contains one bacillus or ten million, if the price 's beyond their reach. WJiat Muncie needs is pure milk at a reajonableSrice. Edinburgh, Scotland, a city of a million and a half hhabitJilts has salved the problem of milk-by operating a municilal daipv, which supplies that great city with certified or pasteurized milk for a less price than any other city of its size in the vorld. Gould not Muncie learn something of the canny Scot?

Well, it’s a cinch that Doc will be elected next November, anyway. *

The IJime ducks are now busy comparing notes and sharpening the ax.

The good old republican machine was taught a lesson, but will it profit by the disaster ? They hardly ever do.

The sad fate of Benjamin Nash ought to convince the colored voters <£f Muncie what the grand old party really thinks of them. Sincesj Charley Watkins hauled off and quit, he won’t have to answerHhat question the Post asked him. Of course the committee of one-hundred all voted for Bartlett, but whS in the name of sin were the other thirteen ?

$500,009,000 due-the railroads. He says the! American people havp hoarded- more than a billion dollars in currency and it can be seen, if some plan is reached whereby the people can be induced to get this money in circulation, it will go a long ways in solving the problem. The national debt is something like $25,000,000,000, including several series of Liberty Bonds and short term notes, the bonds selling far below par and in a measure affecting the government’s credit to some people. The Secretary has paid over a billion of the national debt and is doing what he can to reduce it. He has the support of President Harding in his refunding plans, though there is some opposition to them. It is a question in which everyone is interested.

RENEW PASSION PLAY

A WORKER’S WORD FOR’ DALE •(By Mont Miller) You can bet, George Dale’s a dandy, Who with his pen is handy, Telling facts the workers all should know; But we get somewhat excited About the way the knockers bawl and blow. For George is always after Some smooth-tongued, oily grafter, And ’tis true his name the pikers hate; For many a dirty scamp Has left our town a tramp, Because the pen of Dale has sealed his fate.

Dale will not stand for treason,

So that’s the very reason

They are praying to have him sent

away;

But ng one can 1 say of Dale He ever used the mail, To skin the suckers, horn ’most

every day.

A rejvival of the Passion Play at Oberammergan 1,3 exciting interest and enthusiasm in all parts of the world and this great play bills fair to bring together the same large and enthusiastic crowds-as in years past. Miami County people have had the pleasure of seeing the play and letters have been received from some taking prominent parts in it, seemingly lessening the great dis-

tance between countries. The performance has a great influence j For he fs on the square, on Europe’s population and the fact that many of the persons I „ to every man is fair, famousMn-various characters played important parts iin the i. r 1 “,‘,. 1 ) ! lk 1 !

PRESIDENT AND SENATORS PLAN ON LEGISLATION

Congressional Programs for Next Few Weeks Are Made at Dinner in White House

Washington. July ‘2k-Legislative programs of the next ‘fe>V Weeks in the senate and house Weft! outlined today as a result, of Confetences between President Harding and a number of Republican senators-at-a White

House dinner last night.-..

Administration plans, as -disclosed by senators, call for passage by the house of the internal revenue revision bill and of several senate, bills by August 6, with a view tb recess or adjournment of cobgress - until late September or early October. Probably the most important feature of the program disclosed was the President’s desire to have the tax bill enacted ahead of the Fordney tariff revision measure. "Senate leaders urged this change and now plan to hold the tariff bill in , committee until the tax measure is passed.

Other Delays Planned

The program was said^fo feave the tariff bill smbject to indefinite delay, possibly until the Winter session of congress. Other prominent features of the program propose delay on the

ENTITLED TO HIS PENSION

IntelliGont Dog Well Earned the Grab itude of His Master—Action Saved Child's Life. Teddy, age twenty-two. Is, his owner declares, the oldest dog in Ohio. He is now resting on his laurels, for he recently sa^ed the life of one of the children of his master, Onias O. Swander, a farmer, near Toledo, Ohio. It lias been Teddy’s duty and joy to accompany the Swander children to school, a mile distant, and bring them home again, daily. He has never been late on the job. On the way home from school recently, one of the little Swanders became ill suddenly and fell by the roadside. Teddy immediately started at his fastest pace for hoipe and made sneh a fuss that member,<of the family accompanied him buck along the road. <

Dr. Bunch received 4,888 votes, which was in excess of the combined vote received by Dr. Quick and Walter Steele, the two high men on the republican ballot. Doc is some runner, even when hie doesn’t try his best.

THE DISARMAMENT CONFERENCE President Harding recently issued a call for a conference to be held in Washington this fall to consider the question of disarmament. Japan, Great Britan, Italy, China and France have been asked to send represehw,iv#k( w -meet; with those (if !this country* and most of them have accepted the invitation. Not only will curtailed armament be discussed, but it is also expected to gain information of “principles and policies” on issues of the Pacific Ocean and far east. European relations wdll have much to do with the questions, for everyone knows some of them are far from friendly. Progress will no doubt be slow and too much should not be expected at first for no doubt numerous meetings will be necessary. The United ^States goes into the mnferehce without prejudice and it is believed all nations acceptng the invitation will come with the idea of being fair in regard to-their views. President Harding wants the whole question of tvar preparation considered and this will not go through as easily as naval restrictions alone. Japan’s attitude in regard to the conference has been one for consideration. Germany was persistent in refusing to make a cut in her army and navy and should Japan show the same spirit there will be grave reasons for alarm. So far her attitude has not been one of encouragement. Her decision in the matter is.one of great interest to the country and the world. However, it is hoped that President Harding will )e able to carry out his wishes when the conference is held.

Council Meeting Delayed Pending Silesia Decision

COMFORT IN AIRPLANE CABIN

London, July 28—The French government deems it possible to decide on the holding of a meeting of the allied supreme council until the question of sending reinforcements into Upper Silesia has been decided. M. DeStaulaire, the French ambassador here, called on Lord Curzon, the British foreign minister, last evening, and conveyed this information in the pume, of his government. The French notification is regarded here to indicate a serious* divergence in the view points of the two countries. It is stated Lord Curzon merely took note of M. DeStaulaire’s communication and informed him he would refer the matter to the British cabinet.

GERMANS RUSH CUPID

Berlin—The marriage rate in Germany has so increaseu that it is now double the normal rate and five times the rate during the war years. Official statistics show that the number of births and deaths has returned to normal and the percentage of poverty is also normal again.

WEDDING BAND RIOT Allahabad—Serious rioting has occurred at Chintamani between Hindus and Mohammedans. As a Hindu wedding procession was passing a Moslem mosque its band was asked by the Moslems to stop playing. The request was refused and a fight ensued. Three persons were killed and Several injured before the police-stopped the riot.

Great Contrast in Flights in Inclosed and Open Machines; as Described by Passenger. I recently had the opportunity of making two airplane flights in the same day, the first in one of the completely inclosed transport machines, the second in a fighting machine which was developed in America during the last few months of the war and which has a speed of about 135 miles an hour. The force exerted by the air against any exposed surface is about three times as great at this speed as it is at 80 miles an hour. During the first of these two trips the only complaint that could have been raised against conditions In the pilot’s compartment would have been that it was rather close and we finally had to open a window in the side of the body to secure a little ventilation. One of the occupants of the cabin was wearing a soft felt hat, and not the slightest rustle of air disturbed the brim. In the second flight, on the other hand, it was only with difficulty that I could lift ray head far enough out of the gunner’s cockpit to look over the side at the ground. The Instant my. head was raised above the top line of the airplane body, so that the wind got a chance at it, my hair threatened to be torn out by the roots.—Edward P. Warner in Yale Review.

Who remembers detective Roberts, special investigator for the department of justice, who made himself a pest around Muncie a few months

ago ?

Roberts is merely a memory now’.

He is now what might be termed an ex-detective. By special request from the department of justice, Roberts has handed in his resignation and the government will have to wiggle on

withoue his valuable services. Roberts came here and stayed for

several months investigating ail kinds of crimes against the government. He made the boast that he was going

to “land” many prominent citizens. While here he found considerable

contraband booze, and in order Ho make sure that bootleggers might not dispose of it, he’ drank most of it up. He was quite a success at drinking booze, but a rank failure

as a detective.

Ho carried a large gun on his hip and was adorned by a pewter star about the size of a saucer. Besider frequently exhibiting these indisputable signs of authority, be did not hestitate at all times to inform the skeptical that he was really a gov-

ernment dick

Roberts was a fair sample of the class of bums who found their way into the secret service after the enactment of the eighteenth amendment The new administration started out fine when it jarred Roberts loose from his job. By the way Roberts was the first man fired off the government

force in Indiana.

The new attorney general of the United States is evidently a man 6l some judgment. He started off well when he jarred Roberts loose from his

job.

Apparently she was quite prepared to continue her two jobs without regarding them as incongruous. Owing to a lack of modernity in the mistress’ ideas, this interesting experiment was not continued.—From the

HELP BOOST POST-DEMOCRAT SUBSCRIPTION We have a suggestion to make to the live democrats cf Muncie and Delaware county which, if carried out with the right kind of enthusiasm and concerted effort, will add thousands of names to the Post-Democrat’s subscription list. Our plan is for those democrats W’ho can afford it, to order and pay for a certain number of subscriptions to this paper, to be sent to individuals who would be benefitted by the wholesome truths published weekly in its columns. There are thousands of men out of work in Muncie at the present time. These men are having a hard time of it finding money to buy the necessities of life, consequently it is impossible for many of them to take the paper at this time. Later., wheft the factories resume work, th^se men will not find it a hardship to pay the two dollars subscription price. The publisher is making a special club rate of $1.50 a year for five or more yearly subscriptions paid in advance. At the top of the editorial column appears a blank club subscription form. If you have .interest enough in a worthy cause to do your bit toward enlarging the Post-Democrat’s sphere of influence, fill out the blank and enclose a check covering the amount, reqi^ired to pay for the number of subscriptions ordered, and mail to the Muncie Post-Democrat. We will pledge you that every dollar sent in will be used in adding to our subscription list. Do you remember how you cussed during the last campaign because there was no democratic newspaper here to refute the flood of republican misrepresentations? Now is the time for you to do your part toward the establishment of a newspaper that will tell the truth to the people of Muncie and Delaware county. Without the undivided support of Delaware county democi’acy, no democrat newspaper can exist in Muncie. Without a strong newspaper democracy here has no chance to win in the coming city election or any other election in the future. It will not cost you much to stand sponsor for the sending of the Post-Democrat to five, ten or twenty persons -for one year. The republican line is already wavering in Muncie. The PostDemocrat has a campaign mapped out that will command the attention of republicans as well as democrats. Do your part. Mail it in today.
