Hear Albert Stump at the Decatur Industrial rooms Thursday evening of this week. The trouble with the disarmament conference seems to be that several of the delegates want to “bury the hatchet” with the handle sticking conveniently out. An Ohio editor proposes a “tell the truth week” and right while the arms conference is trying to prevent war. There would sure be something doing if this week was honestly pulled off. Every business man is invited and urged to attend the meeting of the Decatur Industrial association Thursday evening of this week, when lion. Albert Stump, of Indianapolis, will address the association on the public utility question. It will be an interesting evening. Plan to attend.

I Speaking of candidates for the United States senatorsbip. District Attorney Fred VanNuys would just about suit the most of the democrats in this neck of the woods. And he would make Harry New look like a thirty-eent piece in the campaign. Governor McCray has called a special session of the state legislature to correct an error made by the regular assembly last winter. It’s getting to be a common occurance —these special sessions at a great cost to the people. About next November, the people of the state will tell the republican leaders their opinion of those inefficient methods of law-making. ...... !'-* If you get a chance to put in a plug which will induce the state highway commission to place guards at the south end of the Smith bridge as well as at the north side, don’t miss doing it. Both approaches are dangerous and should be guarded as a protection to public travel but It seems the commission will only do that which they are urged to do. Let's insist if tha s the way to get it. A few dollars expended for advertising in the Daily Democrat will bring the merchant who really says some thing in his message the best returns of any money invested. Successful merchants and manufacturers tiave discovered that the way to make money is to increase their sales and the way to do tiiat is to advertise. It will work with you if you give it a fair chance. ——— n I m XT— It cost Babe Ruth, the world's greatest ball player, the snug sum of $3,510, -ill his earnings from the world series to do a little "barn storming” stunt in opposition to orders from Landis, now head of the baseball business.

The president's message to congress reads more or less like a threat to the disarmament convention. We doubt seriously if congress nery as they have proven would have the courage to appropriate a billion dollars for new battleships which could be destroyed in a few- hours with an aeroplane and a gallon or two of prepared gas. If, however, the delegates to the arms parley believe it and the message has any influence on them, all right, for the question of lasting peace by any name and almost any means will be applauded by a war-sick world A hundred thousand dollar hospital, a number of new homes, a business block or two, several school houses and other improvements are among those things in the cards for this county in 1922. There is to be no hanging back here. In addition there will be a number of roads constructed for indications at this time are that there will be no difficulty in disposing of bonds at par and in buying material and securing labor for much less than for several years. So smile and look for the clouds to break as

they are sure to do early the coming year. If the house ways and means committee cut one billion dollars from Secretary MeUon’s estimates of $4,600,000,000, as the majority members are reported to have decided shall be done, it needs no great amount of figuring to see that taxes can be reduced in an equal amount. The average American taxpayer will hold to the theory that the simplest way to keep the government from spending money is not to give it the money to spend. It is natural that such a theory should be rejected in Washington as untenable, but it has some advocates in congress and is gaining ground. The ways and means committee has been driven back upon the ground the taxpayers have occupied right along. It now sees the way to reduce taxes is to reduce expenditure. Probably there should be some care in the cutting, but if it is found the total can be reduced by one billion dollars without putting the government out of business entirely a valuable lesson in taxation and its principles will have been learned—Kansas City Star. Next spring Notre Dame will lose eleven of its star football players. TO STOP COUGHING AT NIGHT. When anyone is suffering from a bronchial affliction or- has a- coilgb that lingers on and grows worse at night, the loss of sleep tends to weaken the sufferer and grows more serious the longer it is Mrs. M. Suter, 647 Longbrook Avenue, Stratford, Conn., writes: "Foley’s Honey and Tar has given me great relie! from a severe attack of bronchitis.” i No medicine stands higher throughI out the nation as a family remedy for colds, coughs and croup.

President Urges Speed-Pp Program (Continued from page one) . presidential order. Revision of the shipping act to be based on recommendations shortly to be made in a special message. Enactment of the allied debt funding bill Encouragement of coo-perative market programs to aid farmers. Speeding up of reclamation legislation to aid ex-soldiers and to provide moro homes. Some revision of the tax bill recently passed. The president was believed to be taking a direct slap at the several "blocs" such as the agricultural group, recently formed in congress, when early In his message he discussed our system of government. "There is,” he said, "vastly greater security, immensely more of the uational viewpoint, much larger and prompter accomplishment where our divisions are along party lines, in the broad and loftier sense, than to divide geographically for according to pursuits, or personal following."

Realizing that some of his proposals called for extension of executive power. President Harding emphasized that he had no thought of encroaching on the domain of congress. Asking for enactment of the allied debt refunding bill. President Harding promised that if the requested authority is granted he would fol!ow no policy in conflict with the purpose congress had in granting the loans. Enactment promptly of the tariff bill “is needed to stabilize our industry at home; it is essential to make more definite our trade relations abroad,” he said. “More, it is vital to the preservation of many of our own industries which contribute so notably to the very life blood of the nation.” Executive power to order tariff changes as conditions fluctuate is necessary, harding said “to meet prolems incident to unfair practices and ;o changes which madness in money lave made almost unsolvable.” There are reassuring signs of a business revival Harding continued. “Our unemployment, which gave us deep concern only a few weeks ago, has grown encouragingly less,” he said. Relief for the farmer is essential, President Harding “In the main the remedy lies in distributing and marketing," railroad -ates, distribution of industry and development of good roads should be carried out with an eye to turning the ♦ide of population back to the counry, he suggested. Dealing with labor problems, the president granted the right of both labor and capital to organize. Likewise labor should be regulated the same as capital is regulated, he added.

“It should be possible to set up judicial or quasi judical tribunals for the consideration and determination of all disputes which menace the public welfare,” he said. “In an international society such as ours, the strike, the lockout and the boycott are as much out of place and as disastrous in their results as is war or armed revolution in the domain of politics.” CANDIDATES FILE Two more republican candidates have filed expense accounts with City Clerk R. G. Christen, they being Harry Moltz and C. E. Bell. Mr. Moltz' statements declares he did not spend a cent in the race for councilman-at-large, while Mr. Bell expended the sum of $13.15. There are four republican candidates and one democratic candidate who have not yet filed statements of expenses. According to law, this must be done by every candidate, defeated or elected, within thirty days after the election. The time expires December 8. COMBINED PLANE AND MOTOR CAR Paris, Dec 6 (United Press).—ln the annual Aircraft Exhibition just opened is shown a strane hybrid motor-car-airplane which has completed a successful test in the air and on the ground at the Buc airdrome. While on the ground the novel machine is to all appearances an ordinary autobile with wings folded along the sides of the car. Within twenty minutes the inventor and pilot transfered it into an airplane and immediately took off and made a successful trip at over one hundred miles per hour. After landing the plane was rotransformed into an autobile and drove away to the Exhibition Hall. The auto-plane is propelled. by s • three hundred horse' power ’Htspatio ■ Suiza motor. <4 ' ! When in use as an airplane the . engine is in front but when used a® a ’ autobile the engine is in the rear oi J the car. The designer M. Tamqier ’ predicts a great future for the hybric - and points out that it is little mor< expensive than the hlghpowerec autobiles now in use.
