We are in favor of a permanent registration of voters but we are at a loss to understand why a legislative body that has the power to make a registration law.as we have in Indiana, hasn't also the power to make registration permanent. There must be another "nigger in the wood pile" somewhere. Ambassador Harvey, now of England, whose first public utterances brought a storm of protests from citizens of this nation, is now busy declining to appear in public and since that first dinner a month ago, not a word has passed his lips. Can it be that he too has received instructions from the powers at Washington? We are not so sure but that every proposed amendment to the state constitution should be voted down at the special election on September Cth. Some of them have merit of course but changing the constitution becomes a serious matter and if it is too easily done, look out for the future. Every crank in Indiana will have some thing to propose. Why all this talk about needing a leader in Washington? What's the matter with Mr. Harding? He holds the job which carries the power to make him the leader and he must either fill it or fall down. There is no doubt about the president needing support of strong men in congress. * Neither is there doubt of the need of them being led and concentrated by a leader outside of that body. The appointment of Herman Myers of this city as a cadet at Wfist Point is an honor worth while and every citizen of this county is proud of the i ecognition. It is a wonderful opportunity a.iu Herman’s many friends are conh Imt that his determination and ability will bring him due credit in the great educational institution on the Hudson. It has come. In Waukegan, 111., a few 7 days ago a man started to walkacross the sfi-eet in a hurry, humpda, into an automobile and had his face badly lacerated. He was taken to a hospital where his head was bandaged and was then rushed to police court where he was fined $7.40 for annoying an automobile driver. It is suggested that the next step will be

1 to force pedestrians to take out a license to walk the streets and that this special privilege will be granted only under certain restrictions Gosh a'int it getting good? Admiral Sims came home today. When he left England lie was showered with flowers. When he arrived in New York the boat had to be guarded. He is in bud in this country as a result of his now famous “jackass speech” which caused Secretary Denby of the navy to recall the flannel mouthed gentleman. Col. Harvey will probably be next. Some day these loud talkers will learn that disloyalty to their native country is not exactly popular and the sooner they are taught the lesson the better

it will be for this nation. A representative of the state tax board was here yesterday to check up the appraisement sheets of the various corporations. One well known business man was notified to appear forthwith but it happened be was so engaged that he could not ocme Instanter his assessment was doubled without further excuse or investiga- 1 tion. Now to get it off he will have to appear before the state board at Indianapolis, employ attorneys and otherwise spend his good money. And the tax board wants more power and we are to vote on an amendment to .the constitution giving it to them. Must think every one is crazy. Congressman Fairfield of the thirteenth district, believes congress is so large now that it is unwieldly and he is right about it. He favors limiting the number of congressmen to the present number of 435. "But this means that Indiana will have to lose one of her thirteen so Mr. Wasmuth the state chairman is against it and he is making life miserable for Fairfield, who has been notified to get off his hobby and stay off. Evidently the Angola professor has a mind of his own and proposes to use It. Os course this means he will be opposed next year for congress and probably defeated, either at the primary or election. It's a hard game and not so

much a question of general good as of providing jobs for the greatest number evidently. It is z easy to criticize the city administration but we doubt seriously if any set of men would have given better service during the trying days of the past two or three years and by the way it’s not the easiest job in the world right now. Making ends meet is just as difficult in public affairs as in private, especially if you try to meet the demands of the public. The city council met 152 times last year so they certainly tried to •do their best. A lot of money,was expended but most of it was because of the demands of the people of Decatur to meet the requirements of new industries brought here and you would have acted in the same manner under the same circumstances. Just remember a few of these facts when talking about it. It always pays to be fair. If you want good service you should co-operate with your public servants in office. They are glad to discuss problems with you and want to. Take your troubles to them and see if you are not given the right kind of attention. Most of the fault is that the public prefers to criticize rather than boost and help.

WORN NERVES Nervous troubles, with »backache, dizzy spells, queer painstand irregular kidneys, give reason.to suspect kidney weakness and to try the remedy that has helped*your neighbors. Ask your neighbor! Mrs. John Durbin, 127 S. 9th St, Decatur, says: “My kidneys were out of and I had sharp pains through my back and I was almost helpless. I couldn’t sleep nights and was miserable all day. Headaches almost drove me frantic and. I be came nervous and irritable. My feet swelled and I felt bloated all over. My kidneys caused a great deal of annoyance and were irregular in action. I used Doan's Ktdney Pills from Smith, Yager &, Falk’s Drug Store and they helped me right.along until I was free from backache and lhat heavy bloated teeitag. My kidneys were regulated and I felt fine." Price Me, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a ktdney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Durbin had. Foster-Milburn Co.. Mfrs.. Buffalo.

♦+♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦+♦ ♦ POPULATION OF UNITED + + STATES BY COLOR OR RACE ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ Washington. 1). C. June 24. — The bureau of the census, department of commerce, today issued a preliminary statement giving th.' composition of the population of the United States according to color or race, us shown by the census Like; as of January 1, 1920. Distribution by Col.r or Race. The total population of th? United States, 105,710.620, comprises 94,822,431 white persons, 10.463,013 Negroes, 242,955 Indians, 111,025 Japanese, 61.680 Chinese, 5,603 Filipinos. 2.505 Hindus, 1,320 Koreans, and 147 others (Siamese, Hawaiians, Malays, Maoris, and Samoans). The corresponding figured for 1910 were as follows: 81,731,957 white persons, 9,827,763 Negroes, 265,683 Indians, 72,-

1]57 Japanese, 71, 531 Chinese, 160 Filipinos, 2.545 Hindus, 462 Koreans, and 8 others (Maoris). The rates of increase for the principal races during the decade were: Total population. 14.9 per cent; white, 16 per ent.; Negro, 6.5 per cent.; Japanese. 53.9 per cent. The Indian popular tion decreased by 8.6 per cent, and the Chinese population by 13.8 pel cent. White Population. The rate of increase in the white population during the recent decade, 16 per cent., is considerably less than the corresponding rate for the period 1910-1920, which was 22.3 per cent. This decline is accounted for mainly by he great reduction in the volume of immigration during the period of the World war. An estimate based on the .excess of births over deaths and on the excess of imnigration yields a total differing by only a small fraction of 1 per cent, •rom the total white population cn-

> umerated. ’ Negro Population. ' The rate of increase in the Negro population, which is not perceptibly affected by immigration or emigration, is by far the lowest on record. This element of the population has been growing at a rapidly diminishing rate during the past 30 years, its percentage of increase having declined from 8 per cent, between 1890 and 1900 to 11.2 per cent, during the following decade and to 6.5 per cent, during the 10 years ended January 1, 1920. Such data ns are available in regard to birth and dea’h rates among the Negroes indicate that the birth rate has decreased considerably since 1900, while the death rate has not changed greatly. Tre following statement shows the Negro population in 1920 and 1910. witli the rates of increase during the past two decades, for the South, the North, and the West. The line be tween the North and South follows the northern boundaries of Delaware. Maryland, West Virginia, KentuckyArkansas, and Oklahoma. The West is that part of the country lying west of the eastern limits of Montana Wyoming, Colorado, and New Mex ice.

418, or nealriy threo-fourths, took place in the North and West, while only 162,832, or'about one-fourth, was Reported for the South, despite the fact that about 85 per cent, of the total Negro population is still found in the South. Without exception, the northern and western states which bolder on the South reported greater rates of increase in Negro population than the average for the country, and in several of these states the rates were very large—for example, in Illinois, 67.1 per cent.; in Ohio, 67.1 per cent and in Pennsylvania, 46.7 per cent: The last-mentioned stat has a larger Negro population than cither Marylan dor Kentucky. The greatest rate of growth in Negro population reported by any state having more than 10,000 Negro inhabitants appears for Michigan, 251 per cent., the Negro population of this state having increased from 17,115 in 1910 to 60,082 in 1920.

Indian Population. The decrease in the Indian population, as enumerated. Is probably to be accounted for in part by the enumeration, as Indians in 1910 and as whites in 1920. of certain persons having only slight traces of Indian blood. In 1910 a special effort was made to secure a complete enumeration of all persons having any perceptible amount of Indian blood, for the purpose of preparing a special report showing tribal relations, purity of Indian blood, etc.; and it is probable that for this reason a considerable number of persons who would ordinarily have been reported as whites .were enumerated as Indians in 910. This assumption is borne out by a comparison of the totals shown for the Indian popuiaton at the last four censuses—the only ones at which a complete enumeration of the Indian

population has boeti attempted. These are: 1920, 242,959; 1910, 265,683; 1900, 237,196; 1890. 218,253. Os the total decrease in the Indian population between 1910 and 1920, amounting to 22,724. by far the groiftcr part, 18.876, took place in Oklahoma uhtnrj. The only pronouncedi increase was reported for North Carolina — from 7,851 to 11,824. The only other states which had, in 1920/ 1,000 or more Indian inhabitants and which reported ncreasos in Indian population were Louisiana, Texas, Montana, Arizona, and California.
