SHOW YOUR COLORS. ~ If you value the Post-Democrat, and hope for its continued existence, now is the time to show it by deeds, and not Words. The editor of this newspaper may be working on that tile ditch down on the penal farm for the next few months ,,'ior telling a few home truths, but three months is not very ''■Tong and if we elude the microbes and don’t entirely starve to death we will be back on the job sometime next fall, hitting the old ball the same as per usual. Just now we are putting on a big circulation campaign. Many hundreds of new subscribers have been added to our mailing list and we hope to tell it in thousands when the campaign comes to a close two weeks from Saturday night. Energetic contestants for the various prizes offered are beating the bushes. Help them and help us by paying for as many subscriptions as you possibly can. We have been makWe have told you nothing but the truth and have done ing your fight for you and have played the game square, it without regard to personal consequences. If you have any appreciation whatever lor the service we have performed in bchall of the citizens of Muncie and Delaware county, show it right now by helping in this big circulation round-up. We are not asking for charity. We are not hollering for —kelp. We are simply asking you to step to the front and db ; y°ur part toward placing ten thousand names on the subsci iption list. If you are able pay for five, ten, twenty or fifty subscriptions and we will see that they are mailed to < - that many persons. . We will accept imprisonment cheerfully and in high :7of pirit f if we carry with us the inspiring thought that our ’...fruends stood by us at the last minute. The Post-Democrat will continue, in good hands, during ,.,,.0’dr obsence, but please remember that mere words of condolence will not suffice. Meet the subscription workers more than half way. This is your fight as well as ours
HOW TO JUMP TO FIRST PLACE.
On each three-year subscription to The Post-Democrat 95,000 votes are allowed—providing same is received at The Post-Demo-crat office before June 26. Then, in addition to that, 100,000 extra votes are allowed on every Club of $12.00 turned in. Therefore, just two thrqe year subscriptions means altogether 290,000 votes.
It can readily bo seen by a glance at the totals that just a few such subscriptions for any candidate would furnish a new leader in the race; in fact, entirely new candidates who at this time have no votes at all could, by a little enthusiastic action, climb to the top of the list and thereby acquire leadership for this big Hudson Coach. When one takes into consideration the value of the awards, all of which are to be distributed in a few short weeks, it appears that they are certainly well worth the effort that it may^take to secure them. EARN THAT EXTRA MONEY FOR YOURSELF EVEN IF IT IS ONLY THE 20 PER CENT. COMMISSION.
Public Opinion In Pennsylvania. The expenses in the Pennsylvania primaries at last reS?ni S n S ™ 0( l aS foliow ^ : Pepper, dry, $1,631-242; Pinchot, dry, ■•$195,000; Vare, wet, $611,406. •" The prohibitionists’ war chest $1,826,242, was almost exactly three times that of the candidate for modification. It jvyas no . t enough to nominate a dry for the senate, but it put over Fisher, the dry candidate for governor. In addition to being a prohibitionist, Pepper ran as candidate of the world court, of the old families of Pennsylvania, • of the business interests, of education. Pinchot ran as a radical, an advocate of government ownership- and in active political alliance with the Miners’ union, whose side he has espoused in the anthracite strike. Vare confined himself to the issue of human liberty. The Pepper managers controlled federal prohibition en...forcement in the Pennsylvania district and permitted the sale • of beer in the Pepper saloons. Pinchot controlled the state police and his supporters set up the drinks in the miners’ re"‘gions. We have read nothing about it, but suppose the Philadelphia police did not close up that town. Vare had the Philadelphia machine, Pepper the machine in Pittsburgh, and Pinchot the state pay roll. Perhaps never has governmental power been so abused : and money been used as extensively as they were used by the . drys in this election. Yet, Vare won and his candidate for -^governor almost won. In spite of the fact that the majority of publicists feel obliged to view Pennsylvania with alarm, we lean to the opinion that democracy in Pennsylvania took ’Ipretty good care of itself.—Chicago Tribune. That State Aid. /' " Republican officials in recent years have been doing a lot ,of crowing oyer “state aid” given the counties in the matter /--n,of road building. Did you ever stop to think where these officials procured the money with which to render this muchtalked 1 of “state aid”? Do you imagine these republican of--Jvjlcials dug the money out of the ground, picked it off the trees something like that? No tby a jug full. They dug it, and lot more, out of your pocket, picked it off your wages and tjien returned a part of it to you as charity to aid you in building roads. Always remember that when the state aids you it is with your own money for you are the only source of income the state has from which to draw. Do you enjoy the digging and picking by the state boards and commissions, even though they do return a part of the plunder to you in the form of state charity? Charity, you know, begins at home and in this case it would certainly be much cheaper if it remained at home.
only for yourself, but for your children and their children?
It’s up to your vote.

Senator James Watson promised the. farmers of Indiana that he would see that congress did not adjourn without enacting Farm Relief. Yet when Farm Relief was being discussed in the senate the other day Watson was absent. He was
at Atlantic City, the millionaire’s pleasure resort, enjoying ind. jieii fei. Co.
life. How long does Senator Watson propose keeping congress in session, or did his promise of relief only extend to the present primary wherein he was nominated by about two-
thirds or one-half the republican vote ?
Reduction of taxes is a myth without first reducing expenses. Creating new offices, raising salaries, appointing boards and commissions will never reduce expenses.

Fertilizing State Highways. Many people have wondered why the republican officials have insisted on building and repairing state highways with the rotten lime stone which has been used, but a Jay county farmer has at last solved the riddle. A Mr. Hiat of northwest of Portland, whose soil needed lime, has had several loads of ; the finely crushed stone from the Ridgeville quarries scatter"•ed over his farm to relieve this condition. Of course had Mr. LHiat lived along one^of the state highways this would not have been necessary since in a very short time after the road had been resurfaced, the traffic would have pulverized the stone and the wind scattered the lime over his fields. Pos--*»sibly the officials are looking forward to the day when the ^airplane will be the universal method of travel and then these ■ •v^ roads, having been thoroughly fertilized at state expense, will very productive land. How expensive the plan of Mr. ••'-Hiat may be is not known, but it will get quicker results than * the plan pursued by the officials. When Patrick Henry declared with impassioned elo--Jquence* “Give me liberty or give me death”; when Washing- - ton and his half clothed, half starved Continental army suffered the tortures of winter at Valley Forge; when Jefferson, Adams, Hamilton, Hancock and others labored fofi months to draft the Constitution wherein centralized power is strictly limited; when Lincoln sacrificed his life to extend liberty to the colored race, do you suppose any of them could have imagined the present generation so tamely submitting to the tbss of so much liberty? Submitting so tamely to the rule ef boards and commissions from national and state capitals, fb centralized state police, to state, county and city officers carrying federal commissions? Could those great patriots and real statesmen have seen present d’egeneracy, would they ..have had the heart to make the sacrifice ? Are you willing to make the sacrifice of all these dearly bought liberties, not

CAMPAIGN NOTES
Are you positive or negative? Are you thinking of terms of defeat or victory? Do you want to win or are you content to be an also ran?
Friends of Mrs. Fred Burns anticipate that this well known candidate will make a real place for herself In this election. This much is certain, a whole lot depends on what she does these next three days, between now and Saturday
night at ten o’clock.
Miss Carrie Jordon is expected to be able to make a substantial turn-in yet this week. Miss Jordon has done well and has many prospects yet to see. This should be a
profitable week for her.
Jake Frey jumped several places this week. He realizes the campaign was not over at the close of the first period and has proven that a contestant can go from the bottom to the top of the list before the
close of the campaign.
In a few days some contestant will receive an extra $50.00 for getting the largest number of new subscriptions between June 15 and July 3rd. This prize is certainly worth a lot of effort.
The contestants who expect to win a prize will not fail to get fifteen clubs this week.

BEIDLEMAN SAYS HE WAS CHEATED IN PENNSYLVANIA
Defeated Aspirant for Office
of Governor Declares Ballots Intentionally Withheld.
It will pay all contestants to get as many extensions as possible.
That Mrs .Daisy Miller will be reporting with good business this week seems an assured fact. She certainly owesT it to herself to command every possible vote. So far her race has been good. She has dqne well. What is done between now and Saturday night will be a big factor in the campaign fortunes of candidate.
The contestans who have big reports this week will be using good business judgment.
Mrs. Gladys Diefenbaugh has a genuine opportunity this week if she is capable of taking full advantage of it. This is also true with Mrs., Sullivan. These next three days are really the most important days of the campaign and if candidates could only be made to realize this and know they could profit mightly.
Miss Claire Vance hasn’t made a report this week but her next report will probably show she has been keeping busy.
Two weeks of hard work will probably net any contestant $1249. It certainly is worth the effort.
,Mrs. Walling is working hard this week. She realizes it takes votes to win. She says anything that is worth having is worth going after. She sure practices what she preaches.
The contestants who are expecting to win the Hudson Coach had better keep busy.
SURPLUS WILL BE $390i000,000 FOR YEAR-COOUDGE
Pres. Shows Early Tax Reductions Hardly Probable Even With Treasury Excess.
Washington, June 24—A treasury surplus of $390,000,000 for this fiscal year, ending June 30, was predicted last night by President Coolidge but he withheld promise of early tax reduction pending a test of a program of “constructive economy,” which he said should net surpluses also for the next two years. Addressing the semi-annual budget meeting, Mr. Coolidge estimated that the next fiscal year, beginning July 1, should be closed with a surplus of $185,000,000 on the basis of present estimates of receipts and expenditures, and the following year with a margin of $20,000,000. “It would be unfortunate to raise hopes of further tax relief,” he continued, “until we are sure that the state of our fnances justifies it. There is no such surety today. Business was quick to anticipate the last tax reduction. It was justified in doing so. To raise such hopes at this time might be to encourage business to anticipate again, as it did in 1925, further tax reduction. This might have a deCrimental effect upon the stabilization of the country under the present tax law.” Expects No Reduction Facing the necessity of public improvements such as the recently authorized buildings program, the President declared the government could not expect an “appreciable reduction” in total annual expenses, and he proposed, therefore, a gradual reduction in personnel. o WILL GET NAME OF MISS INDIANA

At first Beidleman questioned the right of the committee to extend its inquiry to the fight for the governorship, but under the persuasive questioning of the chairman, Senator Reed (Democrat, Missouri), he told of filing more than a thousand petitions in the courts, asking for the right to examine the official return sheets in Allegheny county, then in the possession of the county commission-
ers.
“If you had been able to get the return sheets do you think you could have charged the result?”
Senator Reed asked.
