Entered at the postofflce at Decator. Indiana, as second class matter | ON TO MEXICO:— During the recent campaign the j lleurst papers favored Senator Harding and now they announce what j they want. Here it is: What will be remembered of the Harding administration one hundred, years from now? (•rent difficulties and great oppor-1 tunities face him. Will lie leave benind him a perfect system of government owned rail roads? Will he live to see ships sailing d. icct from Chicago to England and China, going via the Mississippi valley through a great Harding ship canal? Will Harding extend the territory of the United States south as far a: the other side of the Panama canal, thus conferring a great blessing on every square foot of Mexico? What a wonderful opportunity for a man who ha 3 the richest country ii tin world and one hundred and five millions of people to work with! The Indianapolis newspapers are urging greater power for the state tax board and it is more than likely that the'legislature will give it. That will not remedy matters, in fact that's one of the great wrongs of the law now. Three men, sit tinin the state

' house, armed with all the power thus given them and knowing hut little if 'uytUiiig of local conditions, cannot . possibly conduct affairs to the liking . of the people or to their benefit. The ■ quickest way ins which to safeguard . axes if the new tax luw is to he onUnuod - and it will since It has . been approved by the vote of Lhe people- would be to reduce the limit of indebtedness. Either this must ba lone at once or the valuations re luced, or taxes will continue to soar to u point-beyond which the people ■an pay. It is a serious question and one in which every citizen should be deeply interested. —————— The women of Adams county* did •veil in their first campaign and will i take an important part in each succeeding ne. For the democrats, Mrs 'lura Anderson of Geneva, county j ■hairnian and Mrs. Faye Smith-Knnpp, head of the speakers’ bureau, did splendid work. For the republicans v.rs, J. S. Peterson, the county chairnan, made a wonderful organization, i •ch of these women had the assistmce of a number, and on election Ity at many voting places, women' ood during the day in the face of a severe November temperature, work,rg for the principles and candidates | which they favored, and with every quality needed to do effective work The women made good and they will be a big part in politics from now on. The men elected in Adams county Tuesday will prove efficient and capble. They will remember, we do not loubt, that they are public servants ,nd that the people are entitled to every courtesy and honest administra ion of affairs. Those who have the power to fix taxes should remember hat the people while demanding such improvements as should be made, will bold them to a strict accounting ii any money is wasted.

s lie business and while the rest of ( the eiwnrtry Is putting on u “normalcy” i program, to ba unusually keeh In i guarding the imldic funds. ■ "Ml I We sincerely hope, though we ser-„ iously doubt, that the league of nu- 1 tlonu without such reservations as 1 will render It powerless, is quickly put , Into effect. Time and again during the campaign we were promised such ian organization of the world as to' prevent future wars and unless the republican party gives it, they will be thrown out of power in four years from now with a vote more 'decisive than returned them to office Tuesday. The people will no longer permit their ons to be sacrificed on the battle fields to satisfy the greed and selfish ness of a few men. Just mark that down and remember it. About the most popular democrat in i I the United States, according to the j vote cast Tuesday, is Governor A1 -smith of New York. Though the Em j : ire state went to Harding by more ■ban a million plurality over Cox. -mith was defeated by only 60,000, . most remarkable showing. As gov■nior during the past two years, -mith has more than made good, and I I i we predict right now that he will j -weep into power again in two years [ :oin now with a majority that will frighten the republicans. Government ownership of railroad.>vill never succeed, the canal is a gigantic plan for benefit of the territory effected and the Mexican proposition is impossible. Surely the people of this country will never permit her boys to be sent into that country with Die sole purpose of annexing territory and protecting the investments of a few men like Hearst. It’s a safe bet hat within a 4 vear Hearst will be . fighting Harding. He is of that stripe. ======= Decatur can land another factory if ,ve want to boost the town. We have ~ several applications from concerns • hat would locate here. It’s only i t luestion of whether we want to malt | ■ little effort to take care of more peo- | p:e, improve the town or prefer to sit , j still and let things run backward, r | What do you say. - __ _ ' H We just yet don’t understand why people voted for “normalcy” oik every thing but taxes, but no doubt i we will get it seme day. We are > gradually getting over the severe drub- ‘ i l-ing on Tuesday and will do our part t to keep everybody including our- j selves as good-natured as possible. I \ , i President Wilson, an invalid in a ‘ wheel chair, will fight for his league j |of nations to the end of his term, ; suggestions from Mr. Bryan notwith- i standing. He has given his life for ‘ a great cause, that of ending war for- J ever and what better record could any ( man have made? 1 "■ — Back to normalcy. That’s what the great majority voted for and it will be i interesting to watch just how those | like their own medicine who have de- : creed to take it. Less wages, less pro- ! fits, more loafing but if it brings more smiles, let it come. , !_ *
