DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, THURSDAY, JULY 8, 1920

DEPOSITS GROW Reports of the Three Decatur Banks Show Spirit of Thrifty Community OVER THREE MILLION In Resources, and Deposits Reach a Little Over Two and One-half Million The condition of the three banks | of this city, ns shown by their reports published this week is excellent, and, , it shows a condition of prosperity not to be excelled by any community in the state. We have always maintained we had the best place on earth in which to live, and we repeat the assertion. The total resources of the three Decatur banks is 13,172,035.47, and the total deposits, savings and certificates is *2,571,477.23. The increase since the last report has been steady, and we confidently believe will continue so from this time on. The fact that our new industries are just now staring will i help to a great extent, but that the ' people of Dfecatur and vicinity are thrifty is surely proven in the reports made by the banks this week. The progressiveness of any community is what makes it grow, and when this fact becomes known to an outsider, it makes him set up and take notice. The deposits and savings in the banks here have doubled in the past few years, and evidently somebody is making and saving a little for the rainy day which is bound to come to all. Keep it up, folks. It helps in every way. LOOT JEWELRY STORE (United Press Service) Anderson, Ind., July 8. —(Special to Daily Democrat) —Two thousand dollars’ worth of jewelry was stolen from the Greyer jewelry store in the uptown section here last night.

WELL JLEASED Nomination of Gov. Cox for President is Hailed With Delight BY THE HOOSIERS Ohio Fortunate—A Great Executive—lndiana Will Vote For Him Indianapolis, Ind., July B.—News of the nomination of Governor James M. Cox of Ohio as the democratic standard bearer was hailed with delight by Hoosier party leaders, who feel that they can get into the harness and work in complete harmony for the success of their next door neighbor. Cox, elected three times to the highest office in a normally republican state, has a wonderful administrative record that will commend itself to the country and, according to those familiar with his record, it will be in striking contrast to the one displayed by the other Ohio nominee, Senator Warren G. Harding. Governor Cox is a strong advocate of the League of Nations and in a speech a short time ago he said; "It is idle to talk of reducing governmental expense if the nation has to be armed to the teeth, and vast armies and navies will be necessary if the concerted plan of International peace fails. The guaranty against war is a credit against which a debit charge must be made, and after all this is the very crux of the controversy over the League of Nations." Indianians can not help comparing Cox’s record with that of Governor Goodrich and there is little doubt but that they find the odds all in favor of the Buckeye executive. For instance both Ohio and Indiana were beset with the same troubles during the steel strike and while Goodrich sent his troops to patrol the steel towns of Lake Michigan, Cox maintained peace without the use of a single soldier. In fact in the six years he has been in office the militia of Ohio has never been called out to quell a strike. A record that is in striking contrast to the ever readiness of Governor Goodrich to summon armed assistance. Maintains Peace and Order.

A quotation from a recent biography of the Ohio governor shows his meth ods: "When in the disordered period of reconstruction strikes were prevalent throughout the United States, the situation was met in Ohio in away which attracted the attention of the entire country. "During the steel strike peace and order were maintained, the right of free speech was not infringed, property damage was prevented, and this without the use of a single soldier. “Local pulflic officials were Instructed that peace and order must be maintained, that rioting must be prevented, but that there mu e t be no interference with the right o.’ any other men to work. To enforce this policy it was necessary to remove but one mayor of a large city. This the governor did not hesitate to do, although the removed official was a democrat, and the vice mayor, his successor, a republican.”

Governor Cox won nation-wide fame when he assailed the profiteers in Ohio and obtained, the conviction and sentence of several of them. A recent article in the Dearborn Independent, Henry Ford's publication, closes in this fashion: “AU clastses tof citizenship have confidence in Governor Cox because he accepts safe counsel and is a careful judge. Was Choice of Delegates. “No governor in the United States ever put through a saner, more comprehensive or more valuable legislative or more valuable legislative program of business, labor, education, agriculture, good rotate and social service than James The governor will enter the ,campaign backed by a united democracy and leaders here believe he will make an especially strong appeal to Hoos iers of both parties. As one of the men who attended the San Francisco convention remarked: Cox was the choice of the delegates. He was not selected by a little group of tired men, sitting around a table in a smoke-filled room at 2 a. m.”
