Indiana, as second-class matter THE FIGHT IS ON:— Some Idea of the inner feelings of those engaged in the battle between New and Beveridge ia disclosed In the following, part of an editorial headed “Rebuke of district chairman" which appeared in the Portland Republican Saturday, of which A. A Kist, the publicity manager for Mr. Beveridge. is editor: — “Harry Long, of Muncie, and Wash | ington, D. C., and Eighth District Republican chairman, and an attorney for United States Shipping Board was in Portland Thursday, attempt ing to form an organization for Senator Harry S. New. “This action on the part of the former Muncie attorney, is entirely contrary to the attitude that should betaken by any organization, national, state, district or county, and is entire-] ly uncalled for. It is always presum- \ ed that during a campaign previous j to a primary the political organiza ’ tlon will assume a neutral attitude, ; awaiting the wishes of the voters., which will be indicated when the! votes are counted at the primary.' Following this It is clearly the duty I of the organization to take up am! i vigorously pursue the campaign to a successful finish. This is the proper > procedure and is usually carried out. i "But Mr. Long, entirely disregard ] Ing his duties as an attorney for the ] shipping board, and while drawing a, salary paid by the already overburdened taxpayers of this nation, absents] himself from the national capital and comes to Jay county on a private political mission, advocating the nomination of Senator New. “Members of the various beards, i bureaus, commissions, and what not.’ are circulating throughout the state, and while drawing salaries from the! taxpayers, are telling them how to cast their vote in the coming primary ! It is understood that a representative from the state tax bureau will bo hero Saturday, ostensibly to appear before] the assessors of the twelve townships I in Jay county and advise them con-) cerning their duties, but in reality his, sole mission is to inform them how ; to vote. ‘lt is about time that small fry J from the state capital curtail their | journeyings to and fro over the state,] foolishly spending the money of the people and telling them what to do in . this, that and the other thing. The ■ state house is cluttered up with the paraphernalia of these spongers and i the state is overrun with them uut.il] the people are tired of their presence and totally disgusted with their ad-| vice. There has been for some time ] past a ground swell against this Idle tribe, and soon an already overburd-1 ened people will rise up and take I such action that will for all time sep-. arate the w-hole bunch front their salaries by abolishing the multiplicities of commissions, boards, bureaus and other useless and expensive political junk." Will Craig says in the Indianapolis Star: “Just to think that the printing bill

? of I‘urdue university ia 362,139.66 for one year, and the contracts for aupe are confined exclusively to members of the official family. That is as much '■ as the entire expense of some very r respectable colleges of the state. It >. must require a lot of advertising and r propaganda to keep that institution r going. That printer s bill will require 300,000 bushels of com. Agricultural colleges come high in these • days of extravagant riot. Wonder If > the school survey commissioners will • dig into such matters. Or will its > time and labor be frittered away on I “standards" and theories of educa- • tlon. If the three state schools were • economically managed, the appropril at ions for their support could be cut I in two. Os course, this would require a weeding out of a lot of useless overhead expense for "supervision” and having the men left on the jobs earn , the salaries paid." , i The Dacatur basket bail team seem , to be unfortunate in the drawings for i tournament games. In the recent < county contest, they bumped into the 1 strong Monroe team, the first game. 1 1 In the district tournament they must meet Berne, Liberty Center and Bluff- ; ton and then if they win all these| ■ combat In the finals with Monroe. ( The latter team has an easy schedule, meeting Poling. Redkey and Kirkland I before the finals. But what’s the J’diff"? The team which makes any kind of a showing at the sectional tournament must be able to do that and then some and this ought to be good practice for the teams determined to win. Tom Taggart insists he is not a candidate for United States senator anti doesn’t want to be one. Then ; why not let him alone? The demo- ' cratic party in Indiana has many militant leaders who will gladly enter ithe race and who will fight from now ' i until election day and in saying this I we are not taking away from Tom j Taggart, than whom no more able or I beloved democrat has ever lived in, Indiana. He has turned over his bus- J mess to his son and is trying to recuperate and doen not feel physically ' able to make a campaign this year. I His wishes should be observed. The American Federation of Labor, powerful and with a large membership, has begun a fight for the repeal of the Volstead act, which will mean I I a stiff fight again on this question ] presumably settled by the eighteenth : amendment. In their first statement ; they deciare the Volstead act a “dangrons breeder of discontent and con-I ' tempt for all law.” And yet it will be difficult to pass a law which permits ■ violation of the constitution. Those who have been making fun ;• f the groundhog today believe he knew his business. Don’t put the • snow shovel away yet. You may ’ need it. OBITUARY • I.“wis H. Bailey, son of Nathaniel ] Catherine Bailey was born in Union j township, Adams county. Indiana, on May 30th, 1858, and departed this life February 21st, 1922, being 63 years 8 months and 21 days of age. On Oct. ,10th 1882 he was united in marriage to Mary Ellen LomiF ler, and with his ever faithful wife spent his entire life on the farm. To this union was born twelve chib uren —four of which died in infancy.

place and bandaged. While the result of the fall is severe, yet Mr. Meyers left tor his home, feeling greatly relieved and is thankful that , the fall did not result iu a broken - back. • On Tuesday night the last baeket ball guurn tor this season was played on the Auditorium floor at the high school here between the Monroe boys’ and girls’ high school teams and the Monroeville boys and girls high school teams, resulting in a vic--1 tory for both the Monroe boys’ and girls’ as follows—Monroe boys, 37. Monroeville, 13; Girls, Monroe, 7; Monroeville girls 6. The boys’ game was a one-sided affair, but the game played by the girls was a snappy and hotly contested one, which was fought to the finish, which is seen by the defeat of Monroevlilo by only one point. Both teams worked hard to win up to the last minute. Jeff Licchty and family after being residents of this place for nearly fourteen years, moved to Berne, Wednesday, where they will make their future home. Mr. Liechty has accepted a position with the A. J. Moser Co., automobile dealers as sales-

1 - man, and it was uecewary that he lived closer to fata work. Mr. Liechty is well known over the county a« a suoccessfitl auctioneer and bis many friends Whila we regret to lose Mr. Liechty and family us residneta. yet whit is or loss is tli« gain of Berne, as good citlawns, where they ace no strangen, having formerly made that town their home before coming to live in Monroe. Again the season of the year ha** arrived when the assessor stalks through the land, and when Monrm’ has become the dumping ground of dogs, whose owners are attempting to evade the payment of taxes on them. There are all kinds of canines —big and little, old and young, black, brown and "ysller’" dogs, who are seeking homes in town. This has been the custom for several years, when the influx of the canine family are far above the demand. The town marshall, however, will find them a home in the happy hunting grounds in the near future. We desire in this manner to ex tend our sincere and heartfelt thanks to the neighbors and frieds for their kind and willing assistance

[during the illness and death ot our belovud mother. Mrs, .Mary MillerThe Children. . The Junior League ot the M. w. church enjoyed a very epecial social event last Saturday afternoon., lor three months previous a oWitest of attendance wus on between two sides called ’Reds” and “Blues" respectfully. The Reds won the contest and the Blues had to entertain them, which they did last Saturday afternoon by serving them a banquet. The banquest was served to them tn courses. Ist course. Adams Ale; 3nd course consisted of an Arkansaw sandwich; 3rd course consisted of ham sandwich, potato salad, pickles and then came the dessert, egg on toast. The Arkansaw sandwich tho new was not as popular as expected, but it helped the Blues to their share of the fun. About 60 were in attendance and besides the banquet enjoyed several hours of social games. Our fourth quarterly communion service will be held next Sunday morning conducted by the pastor. A good attendance is desired. It is hoped that the membership will look forward to the event with great in-

Another sad feature for the last owner, so the story got, is that the insurance bn him expiry shortly before he died and had not been renewed and therefore at hit death he represented truly < "dead loss" to the owner.—Bluffton News.
