It Henry Ford who is worth about a billion has trouble borrowing money and has to submit to the wishes of the New York barons, what chance has the ordinary guy? The standpatters have things about their own way just now. Railroads are now seekingreduction of wages and thousands of men are .being laid off. Normalcy seems to be somertiing entirely different from the plan heretofore used, but there arc some we know who don’t like it nearly as well as they thought they would. , The appropriation bill before the legislature is for more than five million dollars—and this from the same man who promised a reduction. Os course bills must be paid and conditions met but why promise a lot of things during the campaign when you know cannot be carried out? A few years ago a million dollars was considered an extravagant sum for a legislature to spend. Now that would be just “junket money.” Congress will appropriate a billion and a half dollars for the use of the war ami navy departments for next year, six times as much as in the prewar period. This is one of the causes of the high taxes and the high cost of living. When will we do away with this useless expenditure and why haven’t we done it sooner? The total appropriations for 1920 were nearly six billion dollars of which 08% was for past wars, 25% for future wars. 3% for civil departments, 3% for public works and 1% for edu-i cation and science. The pie doesn’t i seem to be cut right for the good of the people. Think? Two years ago the legislature took away home rule. Frightened politicians heard the howl and in special session repealed that feature, j The people said that fixes things and . gave the republicans such a majority in the recent election that they feel they can do any thing they want. Now they propose to restore the law to where it was before but with i greater centralized power, thus again

taking away any local control over taxes. Can they fool you again? In the meantime you will have an example of the results when you pay your tuxes in 'May. We doubt If the present law can be mude popular even by the “force it down your throat method.” A bill giving cities the right to adopt the manager form of government has been presented and will probably pass the legislature, becoming a law. Friends of this method of city government are now presenting facts and figures and arguments to prove that this form of government immediately banishes every trouble which of course is not true. The people are after all the government and whether the manager of a city is called by that name or is called mayor makes but little difference. if the new plan will create more interest and cause the people to give more attention to the business of operating the affairs of local government, then it is a good thing but when that interest flags, we are right back where we started. We rather believe that two political parties are necessary for good government and that most of the new methods proposed, mean only greater expenses that results do not warrant. However, it’s worth thinking about and the opinion of the public will be appreciated. it interesting and almost amusing to note that many of the larger newspapers whose columns have for several years been filled with attacks on the president of the United States are ’now printing columns urging every one to be loyal to the president elect, to overlook any chance error, to avoid jeering phrase or flouting word for fear society will be overthrown and stablized government injured. Yet Col. Harvey and other editors of great papers and magazines determinedly and persistently di>l this very thing against President Wilson at a time when conditions were far more serious than now. We wonder some times how they make the people swallow all their “stuff’’ but they do seem to get away with it. Criticism is always a good thing if it is meant in the right way but beyond question the papers and the politicians and the senators went far the past few years in creating a condition of mind that will be difficult to change. In other words they may have influenced the people so that they will keep on finding fault with every thing that is done and thus make it difficult for Mr. Harding to perform real service. Now' the same press which brought about this condition are trying hard to make the people forget it, and they are naturally having considerable difficulty in doing it. They show their hand now and the people smile, while some say "We told you so.” Patrick Miller resumed bis position at the Schafer hardware store - this morning after a week's absence. M". Miller and Miss Helen Schlegel were married a week ago. and they have just returned from a wedding trip.

ON A BIG "HUNT" Party of Explorers Will Try to Find Missing Link in the Human Race THEY HOPE FOR MUCH Expect to Find Garden of Eden in the Depths of Mongolia—At Big Cost (United f-ress Service) New York, Jan. 26. — (Special to Daily Democrat)—‘An expedition of Americans will leave New York next month to call on the missing link in the Garden of Eden, Ray Chapman Andrews, noted explorer, declared today. Andrews, leader of the third Asiatic expedition of the American museum of natural history, said he expected to find the Garden of Eden —tho cradle of the human race —in the depths of Mongolia, or perhaps in India, or in Siberia. He will spend five years searching, operating from a base at Pekin, China. There is little chance that the missing link between man and monkey will bo found alive but the explorers have hopes of discovering his fossilized remains. The exitedition consists of ’Andrews, his wife, who is official photographer and eight other scientists. “Not only was Central Asia presumably the cradle of the human race, but it also was the center of distribution for many of the animals found today in Europe, America and other parts of the world,” Andrews said. “China and Central Asia being the most ancient center of human dispersal, we expect to discover the origin and evolution of the human race. We will try to discover the oldest man.” The hunt will cost $5(),00Q a year, it is estimated. The expedition starts for Pekin February 22. [ Several from Decatur attended tho basket ball game at Monroe last evening. Monroe defeated the 1. B. C.team of Fort Wayne.
