Entered at the postoffice In Decatur, Indiana, as second-class matter. The state tax board and the state highway commission have entirely too much authority. Why should we have to send delegations, coax and fight for the right to spend our own money to keep up our county? Let Carl Mote answer if he can. ===== If the state highway commission persists in leaving Adams county off the map for improved highway, takes our automobile tax. puts a ten cent levy on us to build roads in other counties, far and near, will you still feel that the last legislature was the “best in fifty years?" Senator Watson has written the ministers of Muncie to mind their own business and has notified them between the lines that it doesn’t make any difference to him what the people of Indiana want as he has his mind made up and doesn’t intend to change it. Fine statesmanship from a man who sits in the seat once occupied by such giants as Turpie. Fairbanks. Vorhees, McDonald and Tom Hendricks. The Pennville, Bluffton and Hartford City delegates who are fighting to retaiD the road which belongs to Decatur. Berne and Geneva will probably win. They were strung enough to have the road turned off at Portland so it would dodge this county and they probably stand high enough with the highway commission and the men who control it to prevent any change in the program, but that doesn’t make it right by any means and is the stronger proof that centralized power is a rotten form of government. — J ==■ The same papers and the same |

1 politicians who complained that the people did not know what the treaty j or league covenant contained, are now finding fault with President Wil- , son because he risked his life In a trip across the country to explain t them. Some people don’t want to ' understand, some just won’t and others try to muddle you up so you can’t. If you will remember that a president is to be elected in this coun--1 try next year you will understand ( more plainly just what is going on by I those opposed to the president and I who if possible would prevent him i making a great record. 1 The strike, the high cost of living, 1 the league of the nations and the peace treaty will be brushed aside this week, for the world series, Cincinnati Reds vs. Chicago White Sox . opens tomorrow and every red blooded American is guessing on the out-i come of the hattle. While it may seem silly to some of you, It’S H great thing to occasionally get on? minds off the big, grave, serious 1 questions and talk baseball again | like we did in the days of Mike O’Con- | nor and Rasty Wjthem and Tom Railing and others of fame in the days of a decade ago when the great national sport waa the biggest question in most every ones mind. A few partisan papers, without a conscience and but little principle are making light of the Illness of President Wilson. The public hopes sincerely that his sickness will prove slight though they realize that it is considered rather serious when his physician absolutely refused him to continue his speaking tour, even forbid him to read his mail or the daily papers and hurried him home. He has given the public in his forty speeches jus views on the peace treaty and the league and the matter is up to the senate. The nasty little "digs” by opposition newspapers will in no wise affect the result. With Senator Watson you can “go on making faces.” You have heard much about the terrible conditions in Poland and other stricken countries of the old world where millions are starving, where men and women are going mad after the terrible strain for years to provide sufficient food to keep their beloved children alive, where the most awful things are happening each day. It is hard to even think about and we know you would rather not but have you stopped to rememI ber that it is only by the grace of God

that you are not in the place of these people? What if you or your children w'ere suffering and the people of some other nation were being asked to provide you the necessities to keep you alive and they should refuse? What would you think of such a people? That is what you must answer yourself this week when the campaign is being made to secure $6,000 in Adams county as our quota towards the Jewish Relief work.

The counties are being organized to carry on the survey in the rural churches. To date about 45 counties have been organized and the survey is being carried on in several of these counties. Very interesting facts are being revealed relative to the church work. Practically all the Evangelical churches are co-operat-ing in this movement and nearly all have representatives on the state council which consists of about twenty men and women from over the state. Probably no religious movement in the state of Indiana has received such a hearty response and co-operation from the ministers and laiety. as the Interchurch World Movement. The survey will reveal the condition of some three thousand churches in the state.

This survey will become the basis for a program among the churches that will give adequate religious life to every community within the state.

THE TRADE LOSS i — Railway Strike in England Ties up Shipments from America to Europe MAY REDUCE COST Os Food if Local Markets are Flooded—Against Sympathetic Strike (By Ralph F. Couch, United Press stuff correspondent) Washington, Sept. 30.—(Special to

Daily Democrat)—American business men today are facing losses that may total $10,000,000 daily from the strike of British railway men and the threat of transport workers to tie up all operations In ports of the United Kingdom. This is the value of merchandise now being manufactured and shipped dally from the United States ports. Part of these shipments already have cut off by the order of the United States shipping board cancelling all sailings to ports in England, Ireland and Scotland. Complete stoppage of all but a small portion of American exports is expected to come before the end of this :week if British transport workers strike in sympathy with the railway workers. American commodities now are being sold and shipped to the United Kingdom ports at the rate of nearly $300,000,000 a month or more than ever before according to commerce department reports. On the other hand, closing of the British markets rnaye have a tendency, officials believed, to reduce costs here of foodstuffs. (By Ed L. Keen. United Press staff correspondent) London, Sept. 30. —(Special to Daily Democrat)—The government today apparently was gradually gaining the upper hand in the nation-wide strike, which went into effect four days ago. The busmen and tram operators, closing a long session early today, postponed their decision with regard to a sympathetic strike. They had planned originally to walk out tonight. Action by the transport workers has been delayed. Despite tho nation-wide railway blockade, the food ministry has been able thus far to maintain a steary movement of foodstuffs into the beleagured cities, thus countering labor's first major blow and virtually removing the danger of starvation.

In a few weeks she has deveolped a Bowery walk of acute swagger, an assortment of clothing which makes all • the nifty Creighen street girls wild i with envy, and a knowledge of slang - that would make her Fifth Avenue ! tutor weep.

Among Amy’s acquaintances in the tenements are Dish Lowry a little chap with snaggle teeth and ingrown manners, and Peter Cooper, an old man who serves as the connecting link that brings the Burke family to- J gether in one happy assembly.
