Bryan has taken up his permanent residence in Florida he will probably spend most of his time somewhere else. Billy never did stay around home much, complain the Nebraskans. In these days when reports of poor business come from the larger cities and the manufacturing centers; we again realize the benefits of living in a town largely supported by the agricultural industry. Decatur needs two or three parks and has the opportunity to get them. Suggestions that the old cemetery be converted into a city park are made and one booster for this said this morning it could be done for a few hundred dollars. It would be a fine start The big Hereford sale here today attracted buyers from all over the country and one of them told us this was one of the best communities he has seen this year. That’s what we want them to say and it’s the truth. Compare jhls county to any othef and you will be pleased with the result. Mayor Thompson was given a stinging defeat in the judicial election in Chicago yesterday, when every one of his candidates was badly beaten. This is the first time since 1915 that he has not beei able to deliver and it’s a good sign. People seem to be awakening. , Drive slow'. The signs are seen everywhere but not generally observed and as a consequence there are many accidents. Power driven vehicles should be driven by adult persons who think about the importJBR9 of their jobs. Watch the corners and don’t see whether your car will make the speed the agent guaranteed you when he sold you. Schwab does not want too quick a return to normal business. A lot of people fear he will get his wish. . .

r That’s the trouble with it. There are a few millionaires and billionaires who are not ready to start things off '• yet and until they are ready to say r "go” there will be nothing doing. '• Rather a serious condition of affairs, r isn't It, and in a country which boasts of being a democracy? s Arthur Brisbane, the SIOO,OOO edi- ’ tor of Herat’s papers is pessimistic, s He predicts that next winter will be ] the toughest ever known in this coun- ) try and that instead of five million • men out of work there will be ten 11 million. The winter is some months away yet and it looks to the average . citizen as though it these smart peo- • pie know what is coming next winter ( they could easily avoid some of It. If congress will settle a few things and provide a market for the products of the farmer, there need be no soup houses next winter. ’ Returns from those sections where elections are being held this year show that the people of the country 1 are not nearly so unanimous in their 1 desire to have the republicans continue the normalcy program. Unless something definite is performed soon.by the law makers who have now wasted more than two years, you • will see an upheaval in the elections ■ next year that will surprise many. ' The voters of this country have dem onstrated several times recently that they cannot be led around or deliver- ’ ed,_ 1 Added to all the other troubles we f think we have these days, a blow like I that at Pueblo, would, it seems, be about the end of everything. But ' fortunately we are at heart an optimistic lot of individuals who seem to delight in meeting obstacles. We make more fuss, over trivial things 1 than we do when we are face to face 1 with actual trouble. Tulsa and Pueblo will rebuild and will take advani tage of the lessons thus learned. The people of Pueblo need assistance and > deserve it and their appeals should . and will bring to them the food and medicine and other provisions needed. After all this is a great and wonderful country and the best on i the globe. Were reviving business to make a sudden demand for a great number I of freight cars, the railroads would ‘ find themselves in a perplexing situation. according to figures given by the i Railway Age, which has been looking into conditions. It finds that the roads have 134.000 less cars fit for service than they had a year ago and 295,000 less than in 1918. The natur- : al growth of business would require; • an annual increase in cars, or at ’ ■ least in carrying capacity. There is surplus equipment now, but there | would be a car shortage long before business could be said to have reached normal proportions. If the roads should be unable to supply the cars when asked the effect would be about the same on those thus denied as — —. i i

A Million for Flood Victims (Continued from page one) ed Arkansas river surged into the lowlands of this city early today. i The rise in the river was four and a half feet. Less than ten feet rise i will not cause extensive damage, according to engineers. Reports here early today stated! the flood damage between this city and the Colorado state line was very I slight, being confined to a few wrecked buildings and drowned livestock. | Pueblo, Colo., June 7 —(Special to : Daily Democrat)—The known dead in the Arkansas valley flood grew slow-l ly today as bloated bodies were given up by the turbulent stream. A murder was added to the city’s; Gethsemene at midnight Monday i when E, E. Withers, prominent citizen whose iron and tuel plant was wiped out by the flood, was killed while riding with his son in a touring car. « Governor G. H. Shour, of Colorado, I issued an appeal to the state for a 1 large relief fund by popular subscription. to be placed at the disposal of the Red Cross. The city's gas service was still out of commission. Coal and wood were the only source of heat for domestic purposes. The principal streets in the busi-1 ness district were rapidly being cleared as far as the river' front. The railroad yards, however, still deep in stagnant water and mud, was' a desolute sight. The Denver and Rio Grande rail-■ road, with service on its main line ■ paralyzed since Friday, was making desperate efforts to restore tracks f and bridges. Officers hoped to' put through today | an outfit train.with materials to com-' pipte a temporary track through the i valley, thus relieving the blockade I which is causing the foods, gasoline, and coal supply in the city to run I seriously short.
