It seems to be the old idea of I i selfish and personal politics rather ( than what is best for the state and ] her people. \ About the most important job Mr. i Harding has Just now is the selection j of his secretary of state for to him < finally will come the decisions on for-J t eign affairs. Senate politicans who 1 “killed off’’ Mr. Root as a - possibility ' t are now trying to substitute an aver- j age man for Judge Hughes, dasir- t ing one who will be the more easily c controlled by what they say. It’s a 2

real crisis in the pre-administration for until foreign affairs are settled and netted right, things will rot go well in this country. Just when we were beginning to figure on reducing overhead two dol-l lars a year under the law which makes every able bodied man under fifty pay that sum as poll tax each year, along comes some brilliant legislator anxious to increase taxes and revenue and presents a bill in the Indiana legisature fixing the age limit at seventy-five and taking in the new women voters. Suppose by the I time we near that age they will boost' it to ninety. Have a heart, you pirates. President-elect Harding continues to insist that he is a partisan party, 1 man and rather gives the impression that he does not intend to be prpgi-i dent for the ten million men and women who voted the democratic ticket and the hundreds of thousands who voted for other candidates. He I will find this an uphill method and while we believe that to the victor' the spoils belong we also believe that! in many instances the qualifications of the man or woman selected for' certain duties, should be considered,! even ahead of politics.

’ that this plant has assisted materially in producing “granulated sweet" for a large number of people, besides furnishing empoyment tis hundreds, providing u market for the farmer and otherwise doing a full share to- ’ wards prosperity in this country? It | is one of the best concerns in the I country, the only sugar factory in 1 the state and deserving of reul and i sincere support. Charles M. Schwab is a much ! greater man this evening than he was befoyo, being accused of grafting in the ship building program during the war. He has conclusively shown that his accusers were whipper-snap--1 per underlings who were envious of I the big things Schwalb did, and he comes from the investigation without a blemish on his character, and besides, the investigation shows that he not only gave his time to his country in her hour of need, but that ho spent , around three hundred thousand dol- . lars of his own money. We'll soon ’ forget the fellow who made the 1 charges, but not so Mr. Schwab. — j Bluffton Banner.

sure you will profit by your term here and will find the investment was well worth while. We assure you Decatur wil always extend a welcome to you and hope you will make frequent and extended visits litre. The welcome given you by the good folks of Decatur has.been sin- , cete and an honest one, and we re--1 gret that the hour for parting has come.* May you win fame, fortune and reach every desired goal. “The Decatur Industrial association will establish permanent headj quarters where frequent meetings can be held and whore plans to help this community can be discussed by those interested,” says the Decatur Democrat. Kendallville, too should have such an organization to hep solve the problems that arise from day to day. and which mean so much to the development of a community. Auburn has its commercial club, Goshen its chamber of commerce, Decatur its industrial association, and other nearby -towns have similar organizaI tions under one name or another. Ile- | suits are being obtained in each ofi 'these cities. The News-Sun believes j such an organization in Kendallville, I properly organized and financed. ' could do many things for the betterment of both city and community.” —Kendallville News-Sun. - John Jaberg of Derry.

i iff bill. The fight on the measure centers lon Its provisions putting a tariff on 1 sugar. Those provisions, senators i opisising them say, will mean 16 to : 20 cent sugar to the American consumer.
