Entered at the postoffice at Decatur. Indiana, as second-class matter. The Chicago woman who did not mind her husband throwing her downstairs but balked when he stole the dog, knew when the overt act had been committed. Thomas A. Edison’s list of 77 questions that must be answered by all applicants for a position in his plant probably explains why quite a few are out of work. “Beer for the sick” discussions do not reveal whether it is permissable for physicians to prescribe beer to patients who have been incapacitated by home brew. When a “slacker” list contains the name of a man who enlisted as a private and rose to the rank of lieutenant colonel, the evidence of the imperfections of the record would appear to be conclusive. Former Governor Patterson of Tennessee says that the only way to make America really dry is to annihilate the booze. Well, a lot of people are complaining because it is so hard to get enough to annihilate. Cleaning the lights and placing new bulbs in place of the dead ones helps considerably and gives evidence of a desire to improve the lighting conditions in Decatur. That’s all we ask and the people want and we hope it will continue with added lights where they ought to be. Trotsky of Russia is dying from cancer and the news will create pleasure over the world rather than sympathy. His deeds have been evil and more than any one man in all the world has he been the cause of indescribable suffering and death for millions of human beings. With his death hopes for a restored government and an end to needless butchering of people will rise. . The world will hope that the report is true. By the way, what has become of the budget bill in congress? One of the campaign promises was that the bill would be promptly presented and made a law. It begins to look as though some of the fellows in charge of things at Washington don’t want a budget bill. When a similar bill was passed under Mr. Wilson and at his.

T suggestion, smooth opponents addei amendments which made the law un constitutional and required his veto )• Now they are forgetting that the ir people want such a law. Too busy >■ with postoffi.ee Jobs to give attention £ to the real needs of the country. Senators Watson and New, who alg ways play the game, assists ed by Will Hays, postmaster general , and head of the republican party are 5 now planning to elect Lew Shanks ) mayor of Indianapolis. Admitting 1 that he Is far from being qualified, ! they insist it won't do to break up the political organization by defeating him. The people surely will get . enough of this kind of bossism some day though they will probably be able to put Shanks over this year, much against their own desires. If Shanks is elected he will prove a dangerous partner in the political corporation of Indiana. Bill Haywood, one time leader of the I. W. V. of America has cabled that he is coming home to serve his twenty years in Leavenworth prison. His month in Russia has apparently convinced him that there are certain punishments more severe than American prisons. In the meantime reports from Chicago indicate that the organization of which Bill was until recently the brains, has gone to pieces due, one of those present said, to the fact that nearly all their best people are in jail or under cover. It is well. The propaganda spread bythem never had a place here. We may differ in political opinion but we all believe in our government and those agencies meant to tear down should be and will continue to be short lived. There is much truth in the statement recently issued by William H. Rankin of one Y>f the great advertising agencies of the country in which he declares that the reason advertising in a newspaper is the cheapest thing on the market. He tells * the merchants they can buy a page in a newspaper, have it carefully distributed through the mails and by carrier boys, the advertisement surrounded by reading matter that draws the eye of the reader in the direction of the merchants announcement. and the cost of the entire display is less than the same number of bills would cost, turned out as job. Rankin knows and his advice will be found good. A page in- the Daily Democrat costs less, much less when distribution cost is considered and gets better results. THE DIAMOND Diamonds have been found in fallen meteors. I The diamond is the hardest substance known to science. Diamonds in their natural state are usually of a dull lead color. - The ancients credited the diamond with the power of guarding its own- ’ er from poisoning and insanity. For fifty years the diamond mines at Kimberly have yielded an average annual return of $20,000,000. Black diamonds come from Bahia, in Brazil. Twenty thousand dollars was paid for the finest specimen marketed. * • The Regent, one of the state diamonds of France, is one oPthe world’s * most famous gems. Its weight (cut) is 137 carats. The Jagerfonstein Excelsoir is said to be one of the largest of the socalled perfect diamonds. It is blue white in color and weighs 971 carats. BMWKiII« I*** The Cullinan diamond, discovered in the Premier mine in South Africa in 1903, is the world's largest diai mond. In the rough it weighed 3,025% carats and measured 1% Inches.
