VOTE FOR THE DEMOCRATS: There is every reason why you should vote the democratic ticket at the coming election. This party has become the party of achievement, the performer of the greatest things in history, so many that unless you have made a careful tab you have no doubt over looked many. That your memory may be refreshed and that you may feel that you should support the democratic ticket on November sth, let us recall a few of the great performances under the Wilson administration: 1. Federal Reserve Law. Enacted before the war, it has enabled. America to face the economic strain of the world’s greatest war, without a tremor. 2. Farm Loan Act. Passed as an ewonomjc necessity before the war, it has given farmers, at reasonable interest, means for raising crops to feed the lighters and maintain half the civilian world. Up to September 4th. the government had loaned over $120,000,000 to farmers. 3. Government Control of Railroads. It has eliminated competition which hampered privately operated carriers, and speeded up war production by hastening transportation. The public gained by eradication of cutthroat methods, the employee by increased wages and fair working hours

’ and the stockholder by guaranteed j returns. 4. War Finance Corporation. Providing essential credits for war industries. it enables them to meet the demands of our armies and our allies. ’ 5. Alien Properly Custodian. Is Placing millions of German-controlled dollars in America at the disposal of the government for use against Ger- ' many. 6. War Trade Board. Is carrying , on economic warfare to prevent trading with the enemy. 7. War Risk Insurance. Fortifies soldier and sailor and their dependents, against death or injury, and insures ships and crews against loss while in government service. This bureau of the treasury department on ; September Ist, had sold 21,393 policies on ships and their cargoes,

amounting to $1,604,419,754. 8. Tariff Commission. Has taken tariff question out of hands of politicians and is effectively providing protection to American manufacturers ; against emergencies that may follow the war. 9. War Revenue. Equitable tax laws have been framed to place the burden of financing war expenses upon those best able to bear it. 10. Federal Trade Commission. Supplies demand for a tribunal to arbitrate commercial disputes, prevent “unfair competition'’ and do jus tice between the public and industrial corporations. 11. Ship Purchase Act and Merchant Marine Law. Despite determined opposition by republican reactionaries they have caused the establishment of great shipyards, where records are made daily in building and launching ships. IS Agricultural Extension Act.

The Smith-Lever act has made agricultural extension a reality, government aid increasing farm production 1 steadily. 13. Labor’s Magna Charta. This is 1 the rightful term applied to the humane series of laws enacted for the workingman's benefit And, through ' labor department management, the jobless man and the manless job are getting together. 14. Vocational Education. Is no longer a dream, but is rapidly becoming an actuality under laws passed by a democratic congress. 15. Promotion of Commerce. Facilities for aiding American conquest of foreign markets have been successtully administered by the department of commerce. More than 100 fundamental war measures have been enacted by a democratic congress, working in harmony with the administration. Support President Wilson voters of Adams county. In 1898 ex-President Harrison and ex-President Roosevelt both said it was essential that the people support the president by electing a congress and senate of the same political faith. If then why not now? The way to do that is to support the democratic candidates in the county and state. These men stand for the . things you believe in. They will aid . the president in every way possible.

Remember Auams county has now SOO men in the service and by spring will have 1.000 or more with hundreds in France. President Wilson and the democratic administration are caring for these men as no soldiers weie ever cared for by any nation. He will continue to do so if you don’t tie his hands. Don’t take chances. Vote for Eichhorn for congress and vote

the democratic state and county ticket. ’• “ 1 Mr. Vestal is using the bill boards to advertise his record in congress, i the only trouble being that, he forgets ■ to show just what he has done, other i than send out “flu" treatise and vote against the appropriation bill after , voting to declare war. A Portland i paper boasts that the line lithographs and hangers must have cost $6,000. Think of the bonds he could have bought and think of the liberality of a man who receives a stingy little : salary of $7,500 spending eighty per cent of it to decorate bill boards. 1 And then vote for Eichhorn. Mr. Vestal served the district lu .

DECATUR DAILY. DEMOCRAT, THURSDAY, PC 1 OBER 24, 1918

I crongrbss since March, 1917, and about the first time anybody luis • heard of him was a few days ago ■ when he sent out a lot of pamphlets • at the governement’s expense, telling them about the influenza epidemic. 1 His record also includes voting for I war and against the appropriation for ' the expense bf the war. It takes ■ real nerve to ask the people to reelect him after that but he is doing it So far this city and county has escaped a serious influenza epidemic. In others it is not unusual to have a , dozen or two deaths each day and it j is hoped that this community will 1 escape It should be remembered ! that all the good of the care exercis- j ed the past three weeks will be lost ( if we do not continue to fight the dis-

ease. Whether the ban is extended i or not every person should follow the • rules of the state health board care- • fully. It may save many lives. —-— * — There is no doubt in our mind as to whether or not Adams county will meet the $30,000 quota for the United War Work. We know we will but the only thing is how quickly? From present indications it will require just long enough to give the people an opportunity to put down their names and amount We stand back for no county when it comes to being 100 per cent American. Just remember when you go to vote ' that Vestal voted for the war and then failed to vote for the appropriation bill which would furnish the i money to conduct that war or take are of your boy in the service. Let ' him know by your vote that Adams ; ounty is patriotic and does not approve of such statesmanship.

Misleading rumors, intimation that ■ertain men have done certain things, campaign stories are easily started ind hard to deny. Just remember .hat this old political trick is done purposely to injure the other camli- ! date. Vote for principal, vote for hose men who will Support President Wilson. Judge Eichhorn is acknowledged to >e a leader among the thinking men sf Indiana and the eighth district is .’ortunate indeed to have so splendid 1 candidate for congress. Three million dollars in the state treasury for political bunkum but not one cent for paying bills is the splendid record now being so loudly hertided by the republicans. ■> + 4> + + + * + *<i<-l<* + + + * WHO’S WHO IN + * LOCAL POLITICS + 4> + + + + -i-<i-4> + + + <i>*4'* FRED .W STUDLER Fred W.

| CHILDREN’S CORNER | R PRISON SUNDAY Sj Ha- an anonimtmactma&fßxm an tman.«

lKz; ™ — For many years the churches of, our land have been co-oprating in the observation of Prison Sunday, the 1 last Sunday in October, The ministers have been askd to preach <-r speak on the subject of the prisoner and how to help him, offenses and their causes, and those things that can be done to prevent crime. Too many forget the prisoners and the! work our modern prisons and reformatories are doing for their attempted reformation; but the message that is given year after year from the; pulpits of our land is doing much to ■ give the people the proper under-, standing of what the state is trying to do and what the results are in its dealings with offenders. An increase in juvenile delinquency has been observed in all the countries

that are at war. Is it not reasonable| that we should expect the same experience? If so, we should be pre-/ I>ared for it “In the years of my relationship to;, the derelict, both man and boy." said George A. H. Shideler. “a few things stand out in my observation and experience. I will give them as they come to me. Causes of juvenile delinquency: Lack of interest and sapervision in the home. Broken home ties. Chasing of the dollar to the neglect j of parental duties. Lack of patience and indiscreet discipline. Some thins that will help: Less vanity and riotous living. Recognition of parental authority and proper environment in home life. Back to the Puritan of precept and example. More of real love and less of flashy

Among the excellent workers for , the linen shower for hospitals in , France were the two little girls of the , Magley Reformed church who can- , vassed and secured 12 sheets, 50,, towels, a dozen or more handker- d chiefs and other pieces. Mr. and Mrs. George W. Highlen and two children returned to their 1 home in Clare, Mich. They had visited for a week in the home of his sister, Mrs. Jesse. Gilbert and his ' father, Wm. Higlen, of Union town- 1 ship. They made the trip by automobile. The Mite society of the Methodist | church will meet Friday afternoon. | instead of Thursday afternoon, at the Red Cross shop to do sewing. Those who did not go today should be sure; to go tomorrow. Sergeant George Myers, whosehome is at Rushville, but who has! been on guard duty at Wilmington, i Del., and who accompanied the body of Jesse Christen, soldier, home from j there, was a guest of the J. L. Gay - family at supper and over night, leaving this morning for his home at Rushville, where he will surprise his parents by coming unannounced. He spent nine months at Camp Shelby. Miss,, and knew all of the Decatur boys there. Immediately on receiving the message regarding the funeral arrangements, and seeing Mr. Gay’s name, he wondered whether he were not the father of Fred Gay, a soldier friend at Camp Shelby, and was agreeably surprised to find that such is the case. He is due to return to Wilmington, Del., by October 31, but after a few days' visit at his home

will return here, and Mr. Gay is arranging to have the mothers of all the Decatur boys meet him. He had been with Jesse Christen all of the time they were in service, which included time at Camp Shelby, and during the two wekes they were at Fort Niagara. N. Y.. and the several months at Wilmington. He has two brothers who were with him in the company at Camp Shelby, but who have now been sent across. Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Marquardt, an aged couple living three miles west of Monroeville, celebrated their golden wedding anniversary at their beautiful country home several days ago. Dinner and supper was served to a large company .—Ft. Wayne Journal 1 Gazette.

. clothing, painted cheeks and tinkling of cymbals. More of honesty and less dishonesty in tile parent. Greater feeling of responsibility to the child and less seeming indifference to his future. More of the American home fireside ami less anxiety on the part of the child to be anywhere else than homo. The average traction station will open the eyes of him who will ' but observe. More strict curfew laws. No boy or- girl to be placed against the limelight of temptation until better equipped in self-control, taught 1 both by precept and example to both parents. More stringent marriage laws. Back to the decent and righteous 1 living by every member of the family and this applies to ail stages, high and low, of society. More of brotherly love. A better understanding between capital and labor and as some one has said. “An honest day’s work for an honest day’s pay and an honest day's pay for an honest day's work." I could go on. to great length, could elaborate and illustrate from any one lof these concise statements, it will take the work of all of us, the brotherhoods, the churches, the lodges, and municipal laws properly enforced to ■ stem the tide. Yet with it all I am i firmly convinced that there is good in every one. No one can be classed ias absolutely lost Therefore, as the governor of Rhode Island said a few years ago. “In this tempestous moral sea where hundreds are drowning annually, we, with our lifeboats should save those first nearest the shore." —Geo.

the influenza epidemic are to be immediately established at Columbus, Indianapolis and Louisville by the _ Lake Division Red Cross committee on influenza. This was decided at Lake Division Headquarters. Cleveland, at a conference to which representatives of the state boards of health of Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky had been sent in response to an invitation from Division manager B. F. Bourne. The Lake Division, in the past two weeks, has assigned hundreds of nurses to military camps as well as cities and towns stricken with the epidemic, but it was determined at the conference that the increased need for nurses and the necessity for promptly assigning nurses to influenza work could be more effectively carried out by setting up emergency bureaus in each state. These state emergency bureaus, according to a recommendation adopted at the conference, will "search out every agency through which nurses can be secured and who can be teI leased from other duties," They are I to "use all measures at their command Ito convince nurses, now engaged in private work, to make a sacrifice, if necessary, in order to assist in the I fight against the disease. The bur- ' eaus will make every effort to secure i widest possible publicity of the existing need for nurses for this work. CHANGE IN HISTORY (United Press Service) I Indianapolis, Oct. 24—(Special to Daily Democrat) —The state board of education today ordered that chapters 27 and 28 of the outline of European history, part two. now in use in Indiana schools be stricken from the book. A committee which investigated the Irook found that these chapters gave the wrong impression regarding the condition eading up to the war with Germany. The publishers were informed to have a substitution for the two chapters prepared and placed in pamphlet for use in the schools by January first. The pamphlet should outline the conditions leading up to the war to show that Germany became an international peril. ——— —o—— tPPOINTMUST 04’ IDHIMo. TH ITKIX.
