There may be a! reason. The reception given the j president in San Francisco and other coast cities may have shown the. senator that he has failed in his es- ! forts to win the argument by using I abusive language. It is just possible that the senator has heard from home. Local business men have broken all previous records during the past few months for amount of advertising space they have used in the Daily Democrat. It has brought returns to you we are sure and we are making every effort to give you all preferred positions and to make the paper a newsy and desirable daily chronicler of events.

p ed as the day for the walk-out. The results cannot be told. Judge Gary, t the head of the industry and his business associates seun obdurant l. and the men determined. There is danger that the strike will spread to 4 other lines and the closing of the steel mills will force many big industries to shut down or reduce their force. Winter is just coming around the bend and a break in the prosper--3 ity of the land at this time would * cause great suffering and it seems un- | called for hard times. Surely there ■ should be some method of arbitration. I "-IT ™". S I The tax rate in Geneva this year i was $4.85 on the SIOO, so that a man assessed for SI,OOO would pay $48.50 taxes. For next year the same property is probably valued on the records under the boosts from the sta; J tax board at $3,000 and with the proposed rate of $3.10* on the hundred I the man would pay $93.00 or nearly | double that of last year. And has : any one the nerve to argue that he will be as well off as he was before. , that he has been benefitted by the I loss of the auto tax and the increas|ed levies for state purposes? If you ' can convince him of that we are ready to admit your skill in fooling I them just as long as you want to, but you never can do it. A half dozen candidates are asking for the republican nomination for governor. All of them excepting one, Lieut. Governor Edgar Bush are declaring for the odious tax law. Mr. Bush is opposed to it and is fighting the administration openly. He will have a difficult time securing the nomination because Joseph Healing who now controls the Indianapolis News as attorney for the Fairbanks estate will not play with him according to semi-official reports from Indianapolis headquarters but Mr. Bush will open the eyes of a good many people before primary day rolls around and it is possible the majority of the republicans of Indiana will decide to take back the power now centralized in the hands of a few men forming commissions and boards and J obyeing orders of the bosses. It they i don’t they will find the pathway to a j political victory in 1920 a difficult and | unimproved highway, strewn with the ghosts of overpaid inspectors and easy job politicians. The people are not in the humor to “monkey” with promises by men who have failed to keep those made in 1916. The proposed tax rate in Decatur is $2.21, about two-fifths the old rate which would sound good if it were not for the fact that the valuations in most cases are three times the old ones, increasing the actual amount of taxes in dollars and cents twenty to thirty per cent. The same rule holds good in most of the other towns and townships. In Geneva the rate asked for i« $3.10 and they must have that amount of money to operate it is claimed. With the boost in valua-

e ! FIND NO ROOM FOR POOR ST. GEORGE 8 (United Press Serv|ce) 4 London —(By Mail) —Famous Brits ishers will have to hurry up and die 0 if they want to be buried in the naB tional Valhalla, Westminister Abbey. l ' There is absolutely only room for six r more, and they will have to be cre--1 mated first, according to Rev. Canon R. H. Charles, who is in charge of abbey graves and interments, The suggestion cabled from Aus- ' tralia, that the abbey should be the 3 last resting place of a casket of bones. . alleged to be those of England’s pu . u]l alliiil, LI. u, CttsiiuaO- • cia, which were excavated by Australian troops in Palestine, finds little 1 favor with Canon Charles. “ I don’t 1 care ‘tuppence’ about his bones,” deI dared he’ emphatically. “Just now I am more concerned about the remains of England, if the labor troubles 1 don’t cease. “Anyway, there is only room for the remains of six more famous people in the abbey. I am trying to secure additional ground for interments; there are some old houses behind one of our Norman walls which will have to come down some day. I want the space reserved for the interment of the famous men. There are so j many great men, nowadays, and there will be so many in the years to come, that space for six seems inadequate. If we get this space we might have room for St. George.” MAGLEY PRAIRIE BURNING A fire, which started near Magley some days ago in the muck land on the Boyer farm located between the public highway and the C. & E. railroad is still burning. Telephone poles along the highway are burned to the ground and wires are down. There is great danger of the fire undermining the railway and public road beds unless a heavy downpour of rain relieves the situation soon. Great holes are burned in the muck and nothing but a rain that will soak detfi into the soil will extinguish the fire.—Bluffton News, DRANK JAMICA GINGER Curt Johnson and a man who gave [ his name as “John Jones” were ar- 1 rested yesterday afternoon by Police- j man Joel Reynolds on a charge of public intoxication, both men having! enoyed the contents of a bottle cf ■ jamica ginger, home-made brand They were arranged before Mayor Yager and fined five dollars and costs, amounting to fifteen dollars each. “Jones” paid his fine, while Johnson stayed the docket. tion they will pay double the tax of this year. A part of this increase is necessary of course and would have come under any law but that part caused by the taking away of the auto tax for use in other counties, the increases in the amount of money they must send to Indianapolis for state purposes, the larceuy of the inheritance tax and other items makes the burden almost unbearable. Added to this is the unfairness of the blanket increase which adds thirty per cent to every town property even though they were assessed for as much or more than they were worth. The tax law is unsatisfactory in Adams county and every tax payer will know it and say so in loud words when he pays next year.

BIG GAME SUNDAY The Decatur Shamrocks, a baseball team composed of local players, arc ' | planning to put on a real exhibition 3 for the local fans next Sunday. For . the past months, they have not been able to get any teams in their class, and which every game resulted in a severe drubbing for the visitors. Through careful management, they f have succeeded in securing a game with the Ft. Wayne Pennsy Leaguers, whom they will meet on the local diamond in the south part of the city, .game to be called at 3:15 o’clock. The I Fort Wayne team is composed of the I two fastest teams in that city the Pennsy Leaguers and part of the Lincoln Life club, who will bring with them a number of players who are well knewn to Decatur fans. The game promises to be the best of the season, and the locals will need your support. Come out and root. Admission twentyfive cents; ladies free. DISCUSS COUNTY AGENT Mr. Coleman of Purdue was here yesterday to discuss with officials and farmers the outlook for a county agent and the available candidates, j E. S. Christen, county superintendent, i under whose authority as head of the board of education, the call will be made, was at his home near Monmouth and the meeting was adjourned to that place where Ed was up to his ears in the corn field. The boys jumped in and helped him out. according to reports and the matters were dis- | cussed thoroughly, the only objection offered being by several farmers who drove here expecting to attend tlje meeting and were unable to locate the men. No definite steps were de- ; cided uon, but it is believed that re-' commendation will be made within a! few days. j 1 NOTICE The firm of Beavers and Atz have dissolved partnership.
