Indiana, as second-class matter. IN A PREDICAMENT: — The League to Enforce Peace, William H. Tuft, president, is in a rather embarrassing position. It favored the league of nations as the covenant was written at Versailles; later, when it was apparent that the repub lican senators would not accept ft without reservations, it favored th* league with any necessary changes. Now, with the league and reserva tions pitched overboard by the repub lican leaders and the democratic standard-bearer swimming to tin rescue, the question has become a vital issue of the campaign. What is the League to Enforce Peace going to do? Here is the very thing for which it was organized, a leading issue in the campaign, and j its own constitution prohibiting it from entering politics in any manner, or advocating or opposing the election of any candidate for office. It may state its position on tile issue, but if it does so as before, it will please the thick-and thin democrats and offend the thick-and-thin republicans. It may remain silent, but ts it does, will it not sthltlfy itself? Mr. Tuft lias been asked by a score or more members to call a meeting of the league’s executive committee, and it is presumed that he will con; ply. It will be interesting to observe til - result. Will lhe members of the committee put their party or their league convictions first?—Columbus Dispatch. A new plan of campaigning has been adopted, presumably under sup ervision of the republican national committee. To offset the attitute taken by the various churches on the league of nations and other mat ters of greatest importance, men are sent out to lecture under auspices of the local ministerial associations, and then proceed to ridicule the president and his work and the league covenant. Sam Small appeared recently at Bluffton and efforts to pull off a similar stunt here is probable but likely with some other speaker. We have no objection to political speeches nor to church lectures but we do believe there should be a distinction between the two and that the church should not be used as a place to spread political propaganda/ and the audience imposed upon by the usual collection to cover expenses. The meeting of the Industrial Association Monday night promises to be an interesting one. There will be reports from the Old Home Week committee, the Home Builders, the factory committee, talks by several, discussion of needs of the city and other matters of interest. The summer vacations are over, it's time to renew our efforts to help the community and the way to show that, you are for the best town in the state is to get in and help boost.

should remember that this will be S an unusual campaign for the fact that ft something like seventeen million it women will be given the right to j h vote makes it nothing but a guess and a difficult one at that. How' many will vote und what will they 0 do? If you cun tell that and can 11 then do lhe impossible feat of guessj mg how the men will vote, you have the best of the wager, otherwise it's ! a toss up. ’ { The republicans at Crooked Luke r yesterday decided that it isn't fair to t get persona! in this campaign, which 1 means that there must be nothing i said about tlie record of Ora Davin. ] candidate ior state treasurer on the i republican ticket who was found I $3,500 short by the state accountants ' when they checked up his record as f treasurer of Howard county. Sever- t al others have a history that it would < be nice to keep under cover and we ’ don't blame them a bit. —————— l The factories of Decatur will eon- * c tinue to grow and several are now ( planning large additions that will help to make the next year the best I we have ever known. These con- 1 1 cerns deserve the support of the people of the community for they , bring the money in from outside and ; distribute it here. Several new con- I cerns. small to start with, but the chance to grow, would like to come. i The future looks bright for Decatur. , |, There never was any excuse for a I lot of the provisions in the Indiana tax law now in effect and there is no defense. The efforts to correct it and the failure thereof is the best proof of that statement. The more hey try to trim it into shape the worse it gets. Voters of Indiana should not and certainly will not vote approval of such a record. This is nd time to whine. lt‘s the lay to hustle and the man who does will win. There is always away, no difference how gloomy the outlook ind the world loves the winner, has no use for the quitter and does not care to hear excuses. Smile and work on and you will beat, the game. Forty per cent added to the freight rates means an additional overhead charge for every thing you buy and would indicate no chance for an early reduction of prices in many lines. Surely we are near the top of this i boost of production cost. Governor Cox is willing to discuss f the political issues of the day with

Said earmarks may be almost literal, for one Eastern note is seen in earrings that dangle-dingle from many smart lids.

ly embossed in embroideries, and all over embroidered bodices are veri common. Some of the suits may b< quite plain and simple in themselve but are flecked by the Orient with < vest of some gorgeous fabric or f neck chain sold with the suit. Ever appliques of black oilcloth are strewr over many garments, and hats an profuse with these oilcloth splashingin gay colors. A jungle effect is supplied by tufts of monkey fur which is the most mod ish trimming of the season. Goats beards are also hung about the col lars of many suits and coats, giving a bona-fide “bearded lady” effect. Evon the lines of the new dress a suits, and coats are taken from tin East. The prevalent, saekish line o: the new coats is a direct adaptation of the Arab’s burnous. Dresses display the bolero as taken from the uni form of the Balkan soldier, and the pare line of the new suit coats is taken from the uniform of the Greek soldier Evening gowns are very much a la Ceopatra, Back net embroidered in an all-over scroll pattern in black silk is very popular, and the gay Oriental note is given by a rich girdle of velvet or satin in many colors. Many of these girdles and sashes extend into a train. Some of the trains are wired up so as to form a canopy behind Milady . Dolores of the famous peacock gown is held responsible for this fad - another folly for which the Follies may be blamed. Shoos and hose are embossed in color and crusted with jewels until an American lady on a New York hotel dance floor looks like a direct Egyptian importation or a lady from a cigarette package.

Should a wronged and deserted wife seek in a carnival of worldly pleasures, forgetfulness of her husband’s betrayal of his marriage vow? Would the shame that is hers because of her husband’s infatuation for a woman who came into his life after his marriage, be lessened or decreased by her wanderings in the crooked path?
