Breiner WOMEN'S TIME AT THE POLLS: — There is bound to be a bargain rush at the polls Tuesday and the Women’s Democratic Central j Committee is urging the women to . vote early. The polls are open from six to six. Experience has proven that election day has its busy periods. These are the hours when the majority of men find it convenient to vote. Women will do well to avail themselves of the intervals between these hours, the ordinary “slack I time” at the polls. A great many men find it convenient to vote on their way to work. That is any time from six to half past eight or nine in the morning. Many working women will want to . vote during this same period. Voting usually becomes heavy again about the noon hour, from eleven o’clock to one-thirty. As a rule voting is brisk

I home women have adjusted them wives to this condition. The house wives vote in the forenoon. Indium women will do well to avail them ; solves of the same hours. The entirt vote of the housekeepers In any pre cinct cun easily be polled between the hours of eight and elecen o’clock in the morning. This will leave the polls free to men and women whe must work, for the remainder of the day. • Vote in the’ forenoon and vote as early as you can in the forenoon. Plan to go to the polls as soon as the children are off to school. THE GLUTTON STILL EATS: — The war that was fought to end war is over. But the terrible burden of the cost of preparing for more war is growing at an amazing rate. The United States, Great Britain, France and Japan in the fiscal year 11)20 spent $7,445,043,437 for armies ind navies, against only $1,107,748,654 n 1914. Smaller countries are following the lead of the big ones. In rough figures, the world is now spend- ' ing $7 for every $1 spent on arma- ; ments five years ago. Consider Japan. It spent $95,000.i)00 on its army and navy in 1914. This year it spends $381,000,000. In 1921 it plans to spend $235,000,000 for naval expansion, $200,000,000 for military aviation and at least $100,000,000 additional for upkeep of its large standing army. This is a total cl $535,000,000. The international Financial Congress is now in session in Brussels. Belgium. It reports that the combined national debts of all countries of the world now total the dizzy figure of $241,000,000,000. Five years ago it was only $28,000,000,000. Most of this is war debt. Government statisticians say that of every $1 bt taxes collected by the United States 93 cents goes for war or for war debt —pensions, interest, etc. ARE YOU FOR OR AGAINST THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS? If you vote for Harding, you vote AGAINST the League. If you vote for Cox, you vote FOR the League.—Cincinnati Post. MR. JOHNSON WANTS IT PLAIN:— “There is a studied part,” said Senator Johnson's statement, “in some directions to make it appear that there is unity of purpose between those-who believe as I do concerning the league of nations and those who I wish, with or without reservations, to enter the league. Mr. Harding has said if elected he wjll not take this country into the league, that he has turned his back upon it and seeks no interpretation, but rejection of it. Some gentlemen supporting' Mr. Harding say that notwithstanding this plain declaration he will take the United States Into the league. .Between these gentlemen and men of

I stand with Senator Harding. 1 accept as conclusive his I emphatic declaration. His words upon 1 the issue, not the words of those who .. I 4 are for th’ league, are all controll 9 ing.” According to friends of Senator '| Johnson here the senator had a disr | tinct purpose in mind when he went to national headquarters Saturday 1 night and with the knowledge and evidently with the consent of the ' ‘powers that be” issued the above statement. His purpose, according to his friends, was to make a pre-election record about which there could be no question in the event of the election of Senator Harding. — Washington Correspondent to Indianapolis News, The Berne Witness sa*ys the Daily Democrat does not tell the truth 1 about the $82,000 garage at Indianapolis to offset the misstatementst they have made about the local tax rates. ■ Well the best answer to this charge • is that the statement has been made ■ all over Indiana and not denied by the governor, the highway commis- - sion, any speakers that we have heard or read about, or any newspaper except the Berne Witness, and that paper admitted that the garage cost almost that amount. There was no contract let for the building and with the records in the hands of republicans it's perhaps a little difficult to give the exact figures in dollars ' and cents of the garage, but it cost enough and the Witness knows it and the chances are that it cost the taxpayers even more than the amount mentioned. You can find out by writing the state auditor, Fred, but we wouldn’t advise you to do it. A newspaper ought to feel that it has a responsibility to its readers. We were shocked several years ago when the editoiy of the Decatur Democrat once said to us: “When we write up anything we always make an allowance for the discount the people put on what we say.”—Berne Witness. We can’t just figure out what the editor is trying to say and don’t recall the conversation though of course Fred couldn’t be mistaken in this as he was on the tax question or reverse himself as he has on the j liquor question when he defends Mr. Harding’s right to own brewery stock. Nope he must be just trying to throw a little more dust, the popular method of republican campaigning this year. If the official republican organ oi Adams county doubts the reliability of the Daily Democrat, it is surpri ■ ing that they republish so many < its news stories, both with and witl out credit. We have no objection t othem doing so but if they do. the surely can’t discredit the source. A' that we wouldn’t have the nerve t publish a tax rate without founds tion. They say they included th township in fixing the county lev'} Well what did you leave out in fixin the 28 cent levy? Why not admit yo were just guessing? The local republican committe feels itself slipping and Senators Nev and Watson have been summoned t help save the cause and stop th trend that a few weeks ago looke.

The Berne Witness admits they published the county tax rate too high and they might also have added that they printed the rate for this year lower than it really was in order to establish a comparison that , /would suit their strained partisan political ideas. / f—!■ ■■ Joseph Walker, who represented Adams county in the legislature, voted consistently against the new tax law as he should have done. The 1 • I vote next Tuesday will prove conclusively that the people of this county were against it then and are against it iww. Vote the democratic ticket. f The Witness is defending Senator Harding’s brewery stock, their tax r rate publication. Harding’s pedigree, Watson’s position on the liquor ques ) tion and so many other things obj noxious to them, that it’s almost pitiful. Wabash township must send r $6,044.78 to the state next year, an in- ( crease of $1,452.61 over last year. I and this under the law which could' , not increase taxes, according to assurances from those who passed it. ) ___________ Hon. Josephus Daniels, at the court house Thursday night.
