' support a Chautauqua. ■!. J. 1 »!. Wa may be optimistic, but we do , beiave that there is a lot of truth in the one line written by Mam Henry Wateraon, when he wrote the follow- ‘ Ing. "Write it Cox the unbeatable." It surely looks that way. Why should a house built ten or twenty years ago, costing only about 'one third as much if the same house was built today, bring . the same amount of rent as a new one? Det’s keep on our feet and make the new comers feel at home. —..1-. ■■ i.n, Senator Harding and the governor of Vermont must have an understanding on the woman suffrage question —that is both of them are going to try to keep the women from voting at the November election. Well enough for them, for the woman vote will be against the front porch onlooker. The employes of the General Electric company and of the Decatur Castings company are willing to pay a reasonable rent for a house in De- | catur, but they do not feel that they | an afford to pay more than they can make. The tendency in Decatur is to boost rents and if you want to "kill the town” just keep on boosting them. Did you take notice to the number of automobiles in town last night? A fellow who "hoofed" it and tried to cross the street after the band con- ■ cert was a lonely bird and he had to i stand and wait until the procession of “Lizzies,” Packards, Overlands, Dodges, Buicks, and other makes of machines passed, and wondereS if tire streets were intended for those on foot. Prosperous times. Pretty soft for Jesse Eschbach, chief of the state board of accounts, but who during the special session of the legislature will serve as peaker of the House. Jesse resigned from the accounting board in order that he could become speaker |

They are running things to suit themselves down there in Indianapolis all right and In defiance to every taxpayer in Hoosierdom. Ono con--1 sulatlon, their lime at the helm is 1 ! short. I ' Warren McCray, the republican ’ candidate for governor, is numbered ' among those who are fighting for the Goodrich program presented to the special session of the legislature and r Is one of the sponsors of the horizontal tax increase bill. if this bill is 1 passed, indications being that It will, ' the republicans having more than a ' majority vote in the assembly, it will 1 1 prevent the farmers and every tax- ! payer in the state from getting a refund in his taxes, which money is rightfully due them in view of the supreme court’s ruling on the law. The only way that this unjust law will be repealed is by electing Carleton B. McCulloch governor of Indiana. He pledges to repeal it and stands for fair taxes. The Literary Digest, a barometer i of public opinion in gathering newspaper comments on the nomination of Governor Cox for president gives space to the following: "Yet there are independent newspapers which consider the Cox nomination a strong and worthy one. It was the work of “a manifestly unbossed" convention, in the opinion of the Milwaukee Journal (Ind.), which finds the candidate himself far from the old-fashioned political type, and says”: "Governor Cox is the first presiicntial nominee to belong to a new political generation. He is the first candidate whose political life has not been concerned with the tariff and the train of similar politics that has figured at least since the middle seventies. As Governor his chief work | has been the reorganization of the

governmental machinery of Ohio to meet the demands of a new age.” The San Francisco Bulletin (Ind.) | waxes enthusiastic in its comment on | the choice made by the democratic tn Its dty: "Cox is a candidate of presidential quality, a man of the people; he has risen to his present position by hard work and superior abilities. On the: personal side he has the qualities | that make for a popular leader and! with a popular democratic platform i to ditand on he should make a fight ■ that will cause his opponent to strain j every nerve. It may be predicted that the November battle will be one of the keenest in the political history of America." Another San Francisco paper, The News (Ind.), is even more emphatic in its approval: "Cox will be an effective leader of the masses of Americans who have no use for Wall Street dictation in political affairs: who can not stomach the Penrose, Smoot, Lodge combine of senators; who do not want a colorless and flaccid Harding as president of the United States in the next four years. Cox will carry California. He will carry his own home state. His chance for election is better than that of any other democrat who could have been named."

You know, of course, that Mar ion is the home of the republican nom inee for president. He is conducting a "front porch” campaign, which will! bring thousands of visitors here during the summer. That means a lot □. extra work for the newspapers, and for this reason it may not be possible for us to leave. We know the Home Coming w-ill be a very happy affair and a success in all ways, and should we not be able to get there some time during the week, we extend best wishes for the continued growth and prosperity of the old town.

FEDERAL GRAND JURY AFTER AUTO THIEVES i Indianapolis, July 16. —When the federal grand jury convenes within two months, it will investigate reports of a gigantic automobile stealing conspiracy said to cover Indiana. Ohio and Kentucky, according to pres ent plans. Fred VanNyus, U. S. District attorney, asserted in open court | that young men employed in the business to steal cars in Indianapolis, |

drive them to Cincinnati, sell them 1 there, steal a Cincinnati car and drive back to Indianapolis and sell the car here. Other cities mentioned in connection with the alleged scheme were Terre Haute, Louisville, Akron and Columbus. United States authorities have been investigating the thefts, it was learned. The rendezvous of many of the conspirators have been ' located. Authorities have the alleged confes-
