Until the electric storm hit the city last night at eleven o'clock, Martin Mylott and his assistant were batting a perfect score with every light burning brightly.

Monday is Decoration Day. It belongs to those heroes who offered their lives as a sacrifice to patriotism and who on that day pay homage to their comrades who sleep in the silent city of the dead. It should be observed with a sincerity and solemnity fitting the occasion. An excellent program has been prepared here and the veterans of the several wars will join in observation of all the day implies. The difficulties between the Shank faction and the regular republican organization in Indianapolis grows and it looks as though the division will result in much independent noting. Shank is opposed by B. M. Ralston, a brother of the former governor, a high class business man who would give an excellent administra--1 tion of the affairs of the largest city in the state. A vaudeville performer who has proven his unfitness once as mayor is asking the suffrage of the people against an opponent whom ! every one admits is capable and now Iwe shall see whether voters really look to their own interests ahead of politics. Our guess is that after Watson and New and Hays get througn they will find some excuse for sup'porting Shanks. Meetings of various kinds are now being held by the captains of industry, the president and his cabinet, Treasurer Mellon, second richest man in this country and others hold frequent consultations to discuss howto improve industrial conditions. It seems funny that they do not really , consider how they can benefit the farmer and until they do that there will be no real, healthy improvement in conditions. They start at the wrong end, figuring all the time the things which effect the capitalist. If they would improve the markets for the farmer, things would become normal quicker than in any other way. They are starting to build the steeple of the church without any foundation or building beneath and you know it can't be done. “They will take away tobacco next'’ is the wail of those who have become apprehensive concerning a possible twentieth amendment, which would go farther than the nineteenth. It is ■ worth while to ask just how much

DECATUR DAILY. DEMOCRAT, SATURDAY, MAY 28. 1921.

B, progress has been made toward, creating a smokeless, chewless, j snuffless United States. This year the legislature of 42 of the 48 states have been in session, and many of them have had anti-tobacco legislation under consideration. Utah, I where the influence of the Mormon church is against tobacco, has adopt- j ed an anti-cigaret law. In Idaho the | legislature passed a bill prohibiting the use of tobacco, but then changed its mind and repealed it. The lawmakers of Tennessee and lowa have recently repealed their anti-cigaret laws, and in Arizona a bill to prohibit smoking in public dining rooms and in other places was amended to include consumption of peanuts, the i chewing of gum and the drinking of tea or coffee. Then the bill was defeated by the senate. A petition for a referendum in Oregon to. prohibit, the use of tobacco failed of sufficient signatures to put the question on the ballot. The crusade has advanced one small step, been thwarted several times, and slipped back three steps. Evidently there is no reason for adding a supply of cigars and cut plug to the most private stock in the cellar. —" GUY PLAYERS NEXT WEEK. The Guy Players will open a weeks engagement under their big tent in the Ahr field, just east of the Monroe street bridge, Monday evening with the entertaining comedy "I Say He Did.” Ladies will be admitted free, one with each adult ticket.

GOATHOUSE IN THE LAKE (United Press Service) Zion City, 111, May 28—(Special to Daily Democrat) —Zion’s “Ecclesiastical goathouse” blew away today. The tent in which Rev. Thomas Nelson has been holding services in opposition to Wilbur Glenn Voliva was carried into the lake by a high gale. “We’ve been praying for that wind for a long while,” said Overseer Voliva, who dubbed the Rev. Nelson's tabernacle as a “Goathouse.” “Now they need a permit from the city to erect a new tent. Since the Independents erected their canvas Zion passed an ordinance requiring building permits in the future. “The city hall is open at all floors —just let him come after a permit.” A DOLLAR A ROACH.
