1 the fact that In Michigan their brothers failed to win a single seat. In the meantime the democrats can- . not bo held responsible for the “notr malcy” period. i» . One of the qualifications advanced for Mr. Coolidge as a candidate for vice president was that he lived In a ■ Hut that cost him $32.00 per month and now he has startled the world by announcing* that he will continue to make that ordinary place his home. A good many tenants over tile country would like to get in communication with his landlord If he has any more at home like this one. We have hoard of several cases where people in Decatur need assistance and it is more than probable that the United Board of Charities in Decatur will have more calls the coming winter than for several years. Charity should begin at home and the citizens of this community should sec that there is as little real suffering here as is possible. We can’t be honestly comfortable if we know that others are not and lend no hand in helping them. t If you want to buy or sell any thing you can do it at least cost and with ( less trouble to yourself by using the columns of the Daily Democrat.

This vapor, it is claimed, , will accomplish a cure within six months. The machines are rented ut . from $25 to S6OO a month, according to the income of the patient. The , National Tuberculosis Association reports that most of the people who have testified to the machine’s curative properties have since died. If you wish to help the general war on tuberculosis, the annual sale of Christmas Seals is now under.way. —Colliers. The Indianapolis police recently made a raid on the Henry Stegmeier place in that city, confiscated a lot of gambling paraphanalia and a supply of various kinds of "medicines." The proprietor was charged with pool selling and operating a "blind tiger” and much publicity given the incident. The case was heard yesterday before a special judge named Henry Abrams, who won more or less fame as a member of the legislature. He fined Stegmeier ten dol lars for pool selling and dismissed i the booze case. Evidently the police I courts of Indianapolis do not belfeve ! in the campaign against the sale,, as a beveridge, of medicines containing | algohol. |

Mr. Davis of Jay county, a member of the next legislature is preparing a bill that seems worthy of support. His proposed law will regulate the speed of automobiles by limiting the speed of these vehicles to twenty-five miles an hour and will also safe guard the public by providing fo‘ stricter qualifications for drivers oi cars. In this day and age when there are thousands of automobiles and motorcycles in every county, some thing must be done to protect the pedestrian and the public will np prove the proposed law. A few will ■ complain for the :pee<i maniacs are quite numerous but twenty-five miles an hour ought to be fast enough for the ordinary person in tho car and we know it is ft>r the children and others who happen to be on the road. We still claim that the Decatur industries are the best in the land for all of them are continuing to operate and with announcements of early resumption of full time and added help. The action of the General Electric plant is most commendable.. When the orders were reduced, in-' stead of closing down their plant they arranged for a reduction of About one-third time,, thus holding together their organization and permitting the employes to have the afternoons for themselves. The managers feel sure this will only l>e necessary a short time and the em ployes may rest assured it will not be for any longer time than good business makes necessary. This community will suffer less than
