Breiner SHALL WE CONTINUE?— The Northwestern Christian Advocate says: “Because the question of the league of nations has become a political issue is no slightest reason for a preacher or editor to refrain front making it the subject of sennonie utterances or editorial continent, its injection into a national campaign relieves it of none of its ethical or moral qualities. “What infinite mischief the United States has wrought by its indefinite pustponment or ratification! And to continue our policy of isoi'tti n in the face of a united world will mean a greater disaster to ourselves than the most fantastic dreaming el Lodge or Borah can produce on tile other side. Politicians have succeeded in throwing considerable dust into the air. but even through the haze thus created 'the public see

and realize the sublime folly of ourl pitting ourselves against a whole; world aud assuming we are the only conservators of liberty, the sole exponent of a noble democracy, the lone custodian of a higher civilization. "If such superiority inheres in uh, then the claims of a broken world upon our wisdom and power are enlarged. If not, then we need the support of all to hasten in the better day, "Do our readers realize that the I luted States is today working under a law or provision quite as dangerous' in its operations as Article X., of the constitution of the league could possibly be? We relet to the Monroe Doctrine, an instru inent that Americans remain ready o defend at the least sign of violation on the part of European conn I ries. “There is no contingency possible inder the operation of Article X. that may not arise under the Monroe Doctrine a doctrine that compel he United States to throw an army n Ihe field in case South or Central America is attacked, even sending >ur troops to European soil if need re —and all this alone and with no upport from a single ally. Can any ■ontingeney arise under the opera ion of the league more drastic than that?" The Berne Witness evidently does not know what a county tax is or else they prefer to nruke wrong state nieuts. A few days ago they published in an editorial that the county tax rate for next year will be 92 cents as compared to 28 cents last year. The tact that this is wrong has been called to their attention but they have not had the decency to correct it. The comity tax rale this year is really only 25 cents of which but 1C cents is for general purpose's aud f: cents tor bridges, while the turnpike tax which is really a townnship tax is twenty cents. Last year the total levy lor these three items which is all that can be called a county tax since this is all the county fixes or pays or uses, was 49 cents and this year is 45 cents. Though the state tax was increased, the county tax under ail difficulties and with the loss of the automobile tax. gobbled by the state, was reduced. Some folks who claim to be ‘‘near saints" are far from it in actual practice.

I The republicans have made a poll ' hat includes th.e religious affiliation >f voters, have ascertained what ' odge you belong to. what hobby yon lave and are sending you literature ■xpected to make you vote this 'wiggle wobble” ticket. When you 1 ;et two of these circulars together 1 hi exactly opposite sides of a posiion. it looks ridiculous. Never in all history has a great political party | made such a campaign of misrepre entation and unfairness. z -I — Hartford township will pay to tlie 1 date next year $1,642.60 more than 1 hey did last, That’s why your taxes ■re considerably higher than ever. That's how the new law works. It . ’ will get worse instead of better un-li ess the tax law is repealed and -c 1 tew one written. That's what the j 1 iemocratic party pledges itself to do ; , if given the power. Vote the demo ! 1 -ratio ticket .and you are voting for ! our best interests. I It's the last week of the campaign. Work hard men and women and keep it clean. The democrats have made a clean canvass, presented the issues in a fair manner, have not engaged in circulating dirty stories or misstatements and have presented the ! ' i issues fairly. This should and will i I appeal to the voters when compared to those who try to influence your votes by spreading any kind of stories meant to catch your vote. The efficiency of the men on the; 1 democratic .ticket should appeal to every voter.

The report of the Indiana state board of charities gives Sephus Melchi, sheriff of Adams Younty, a splendid < recommendation. Read what they say for it was written by a republican committee and not Tor political purposes. Mr. Melchi has made an excellent officer and is en titled to his second term. The vote for him should be a commendation of his services. There is absolutely no defense to the new tax law. You are being taxed to the limit and given nothing -in return. The democrats stand pledged Io repal the law and substitute in its plume one that is fair and just to all. Vote for Mc( ulloch and jote the county ticket to support him. The campaign in Adams county will close Saturday night with a meeting at the court house, addressed by C. A. Paddock, democratic (

Democrats get out the vote, work 'mid this week, and the result will c ne a splendid victory in Adams county on election day. We are right Hid the people know It. It's up to u« Io see that the vote is properly f registered. The vote on election day will show that Maryland, Kentucky, Missouri j Wi st Virginia and other border states I of the south, do not believe in racial equality as advocated by Senator 1 Harding. —1 When Fred Rohrer can support Senator Harding who* is absolutely! against everything the Witness has , In en supposed to stand for, it proves he has either been “kidding" you in • i the past or is doing it now.
