When an lowa man attempted to! hang himself, his son cut the rope ■ and the father fell about 50 feet. What this father had to say to his son probably was rather ambiguous. Miss Ranking, only female member of congress, wants two hundred of her sex in that body. She agrees that the woman's place is in the house, but evidently means the house of congress. Ambassador Harvey alluded to the bonds binding England and America in a speech on his arrival abroad. At’ the rate some bonds are being paid they will be uniting us for a long time. The debt due us from the countries of Europe would pay for a large por- ] tion of the proposed highway system in this country and few- would object if this fund as it comes in is diverted to that purpose. Let there be light. We don't * know of a city of 5,000 in this part i of the country where the street lights are now operated so small a portion of the time as here and we ought to take pride in making the city plant show for itself. We can at small cost advertise this city and its municipal plant. Why can’t we do it? Every employer knows something about trying to get service from em-' ployes who have spent the preceding j night, or the great part of it, in social pleasures, instead of spending I , seven or eight hours in sleep to fit j the mind and body for the duties of the next day. Most of these persons ’ will declare they feel fit as ever, but the work they produce .usually refutes the words.

' mind may be recuperated for tht work Os the next day ia empbaideed in the case of Children, eepeefulfy ■ those of school age. The nervous , Irritable school child la mostly a ' modern product, the result of luxuoat , on the part of parents in requiring the needed time ft»r restful sleep. Considerable criticism is being heard of deficiency In the work of the public schools, but it would be interest lug to know how much parents are to blame because they do not require their children to observe hours that will give them sufficient sleep to fit them for their studies. In the first batch of ninety-two nominations for postmaster sent to the senate by President Harding there was not a democrat in the list. Every man was a republican with a j straight pedigree for party loyalty i and active work. We want to con- ; gratulate the new president. In conj trast to his record we have the last four years of President Wilson when LOtlO presidential postmasters were named and 1,500, or half of them were republicans. One of them was | here in Henry county, a half dozen of them in the sixth congressional district and many of them in Indiana. We did not like that system and do not like it now. But in order for the republicans to fully appreciate what it means we should like to see President Harding name a democrat for ' postmaster at New Castle, and also iat a half dozen other places in In idiana. including South Bend or Fort Wayne, so that republicans could better realize what it*means to hand out jobs like that to the opposition. —Newcastle Tinies. The highway department at Washi ington has figured out that the gigantic sum of six hundred million dollars !is now available from federal state (and county bond issues or two million j dollars for every working day. That’s 1 true and there is no doubt that most I of the amount will be raised and ex- ! pended—but we should not forget j that we are buying something and must pay the bills in the end. Before this nation stops road building we will hrfve the finest system in the world with hard 'surface roads in every direction from every city and town and with highways crossing the republic east and west and north and ■ south. It is well to do this but we ; should not build faster than we can pay. Rather it seems we should I build well what we do construct. The : department also calls attention to the fact that while 10,000 trained I engineers are needed, the universi : ties are now graduating but I.OOtJ j per year and it will be some time be fore this demand can be met. Thi 1 road question is one of the big ans i important ones.

A good many people are asking each other and themselves just nowwhy no effort is being made to improve the lighting conditions of Decatur. This is not a joke or a hobby. We have the finest power and light plant in this part of the country, we ' pay taxes to support it. we have : every facility to produce' electricity 1 and we ought to have lights at least sufficient to guide those who are out at night. The people are requesting it and a few moments at this office would assure any one interested that there is no question about them actually desiring it Since they own , the plant it looks as though they (ought to have what they want. We will not progress very far unless we look the part. There should be no waste of power or light but there should certainly be enough used to make us the equal of towns half the size of Decatur. We do not even use the lights now up which is about half i what we need to do the job right. The light committee of the councilwe hope will report on the matter at the nftxt meeting of' the council. In th< meantime it will help if the business houses will make a little effort to brighten up the store fronts. - 1 K. OF C.
