Under the management of the local members of the organization they are sure to enjoy the visit to the De catur plant. It’s a tine thing to thus plan and work together and much good is certain to follow such efforts. Otto Kirsch as a member of the city council should prove a valuable member. A good business man. young enough to be progressive and old enough to be careful, his advice and cooperation should assist the council and Mayor DeVoss in their efforts to make Decatur the best town in the state of Indiana in which to live. Here is the sensible way in which Albert. J. Beveridge puts a plain truth: “The salary of a senator is $7,500 a year—s4s,ooo for the six years during which he serves. If he pours out more money to get merely a nomination than the whole amount of six years salary, what can he say to the voters in the campaign for election?" Some one has caused the chief of police to awaken and he has notified the citizens of that law abiding community to beware. He will kill dogs which don't wear a license tag, arrest people who permit their chickens to run at large and those who operate automobiles without a muffler and intends to enforce every ordinance of the city. His name is Harr. A number of people have told us how much they enjoy reading the “People’s Voice” column and this can be made a better feature by more using it. You don’t need to discuss the school question but any other of pub lic interest. Give your own opinion. Make your article an argument and not an attack. Sign your name which will not be used unless you request it and invite an answer. A free discussion of interesting problems will be of real benefit to all of us. Looks very much like the miners Intend to go through with their program and to put on a real strike. They are not putting off any grandstand plays but are quietly preparing to fight it / out. In the meantime its going to be a little tough on the country and may tend to prolong the normalcy period. While there are those who still hope the threatened strike may not occur those who have given it much attention declare that nothing now will stop It as both the miners and the operators seem to have their minds well made up. A bootlegger recently arrested in Detroit has appealed to the court to grant him a temporary release so that he can go to Indianapolis and dispose of a hundred barrels of good liquor which he claims to have stored there. He also declares that no one is bothered in that city and that almost everybody is in the business. How's that for a .good reputation tor our capitol city, right under the nose of Mr. Morgan. the enforcement officer? It is probably not true but most every one around the business district of Indianapolis knows that some one has it for Its no trouble to get all you want, we arc told. The League foi I*»cal Self-Govern-ment in Indiana, is sending out notices to be careful that the men nominated for the legislature on the democratic

_—, r ticket this year are opposed to the present tax law for if the law is to be changed they claim tho democrats will >• have to do it. Well they are sure r against it as we believe nine out of ** ten people in tho state are, no differr ence to what party they belong. The campaign in Indiana this year will be founght largely on the tax law and it ’ the people are wise to their own inU tereats they will not longer delay i sending men to the legislature who ) will correct the. present law which & gives so much power to a few men. The girls who try to see how ex-, . treme they can make their dress and appearance are about to the end of their string, especially those who expect to fill positions in the busy cities. Officials of a number of New York’s business concerns have agreed to this and have placed a ban on the “flappers” as they are known. Girls the silly styles of the past few months are no good and the sooner you get back to more modest styles the better it will be for every one concerned. Several of the big institutions have found it necessary to fix regulations as to color of dresses the girl are to wear, “not too low at the nock or too high at the bottom.” One or two have even included a ban on those who fluff their "bobbed” hair. — CAUSED MUCH EXCITEMENT The citizens of Monroe were introduced to quite a bit of excitement last night when about, eleven o’clock the burglar alarm in connection witl the Monroe State Bank aroused then’ from their slumbers and dreams. A posse of citizens surrounded the building to keep the burglars from escaping and a hurry-up call was sent in for Sheriff Melchi. Upon his ar rival at the scene an investigatior was made but no evidence could be discovered as to the cause of the setting off of the alarm. o s—s—s—WANT ADS EARN—s—3—s BERNE NEWS Milton Gilliom and Paul Habegger are today moving their furniture factory from the Gilliom Co., on Eas' Main St., to Markle.

The People’s Voice k 1 MEN FOR ONE CYLINDER SCHOOL i Editor Democrat:—So much is said , about the schools of today. I can not see how any fair minded person can truthfully say that the one-room school is and has been a failure. Tho greatest men the world ever know were born iu the country, and either received their education in the home or in the old log school house. George Washington "The Father of our Country" was left fatherless at tho age of eleven and his education directed by his mother. Was he a failure? Benjamin Franklin, the author of “Poor Richards Almanac” was the son of a poor soap and candle maker, and the youngest of 17 children. He too, had little opportunity to gratify his desire for knowledge. I suppose you would class him as a one-cyinder man also. Thomas Jefferson "The Sage of Monticello” was incomparable* the greatest man that ever figured iu the United States. Th ■ Declaration of Independence was written by this self-made made. Now we come to John Adams the man that nominated Washington as commander-inchief who also secured the adoption of the Decralation of Independence in a 3 days debate Where did this man get his education? James Monroe was a man moreprudent than brilliant, the man who acted with a single eye to the welfare □f his country. Jefferson said of him. 'if his soul were turned inside out., rot a spot could be found on it.” What wonderful men in days of the little dd school house—Andrew Jackson ind John Quincy Adams born the •■ame year, yet how different was their hildhood. Adams born in luxury and irilliantly educated; Jackson born in mverty. had a limited education and ’orced to provide for himself. Each iestined twice to compete for the 'lip. best place in the nation. Adams ilthough educated was unfortunate in his administration. Jackson with a very limited education was brilliant in lis presidential coreer. Henry Clay a man that the nation oved was the son of a Baptist minis er of very limited means, was left fatherless at the age of 5 years and it 15 was left to support himself. Meantime he had received what tup ion lie had in a log cabin school. Mr. -’lay said. “I owe my success in life o a single fact, namely—that at an tarly age I commenced and continued or years the practice of daily reading md speaking"—These off hand efforts verc made in the corn field., forest or n the barn with the horse and ox for uiditors and not in any six cylinder chool house. You talk about ont wanting to go back to the old time rchool. Who if you can measure ip to the least of these great Ameri -ans. Just one more of these one cylinder men I want to make mention >f —Abfam Lincoln — the great Amer :an. who education consisted of 1 rears schooling. He managed to get some knowledge of law by borrowing rooks in the evening and reading hem by the lights of the fireplace. The lebate with Stephan A. Douglas won or him a national reputation. Uned tcated, little versed, incontinment. of society, but gifted by nature with rood common sense won the hearts oi ‘.he American people. Now if you mod irn educators can produce a man that -an measure up to the least of these tels made men I will have no more to ray. The schools of Decatur boast of ‘heir teachers, and they have a right ‘o boast, for they are as good as the best and better than the best. SayMr. Boster did you ever stop to think for a moment who these teachers are and where they got their education when in the elimentry schols. Let me tell you that nearly everyone came from the little red school houses in Union, Root, Preble and St. Mary’s townships—Mr. Cline our principal is a product of the Lucky school, Supt. Worthman a product of Preble, Mr. Brown of Root, last but not least Mr. Christen Supt. of schools of product of Monmouth. Can you beat it. —A CITIZEN MR. tyger’to'mexico rert Wayne Man, Wei, 'Known Here Will Investigate Death of his Son Charles Tyger, 909 Columbia street left, early this raorr ing for Tampico. Mexico, where he v.ill make everv effort to return the body of his son. Howard, to this city for burail. Howard Tyger was severely burned and a companion killed when the tractor on which they were riding exploded Saturday afternoon, February 25,. at that place. Tyger died the following day from ’ injuries. The young man had been connected with an oil concern in Mexico since the war and efforts to have the body returned i here have failed. It will take Mr. ; Tyger four days to get to Tampico I and he expects to investigate the ’ details of the accident thoroughly before returning to this city.

GILLETTJS FIRM I In His Position on Bonus — Efforts Made to Put it ' Through Next Monday. BACK FROMTHE SOUTH House Leader Expresses the Opinion Bill Should Not Pass Under “Gag” Rule. (lulled I’re.x Servlee). Washington. D. C., Mar. 18—(Spa- , cial to Dally Democrat)—House leaders literally were running around In circles today over the soldiers’ bonus , situation. Informal conferences occurred dur- : ing the whole forenoon, preceding a session at 2 o’clock this afternoon between bouse leaders and republican ■ members of the ways and means committee and the speaker, Representative Gillett, Massachusetts. Two currents were noted in the informal gathering: One was for a strong notification to the speaker that more than a majority of the house wants the bonus , passed Monday under the gag plan. The other was a tendency to wait 'until President Harding gets back tomorrow and try to sway him in favor I of the Fordney bill. Gillett observed that his mind was still “unsettled" after his forenoon conferences, but that he still wanted to hear the ways and means men this afternoon. The general belief was that the president would be consulted before the final decision as to Monday is taken. Senator Lodge, who favors a bonus, strongly is out against the Fordney plan and is understood to predict the substitution of a cash plan and a sales tax by the upper house. CUT THIS OUT—IT IS WORTH MONEY Cut out this slip, enclose with 5c and mail it to Foley & co.. 2835 Sheffield. Ave., Chicago, 111., writing your name and address clearly.

MEET NEXT TUESDAY Four Operators and Four Officers of Mine Workers Will Decide It. New York, March 18.—Eight men today held the power to (Jecide whether the anthracite coal fields shall be tied up April 1. Four operators and four officers of United Mine Workers appointed in a joint conference here will begin the task of settling the problem at 2 o’clock next Tuesday and will continue in session until an agreement is reached or is found unreasonable. Operators served notice wages must come down and that this is the first step toward making coal cheaper for the consumer and for stabilizing the industry. The miners will present figures intended to prove not only that cheaper coal can be sold to the public wtihout a cut at the mine but that operators profits and the miners living costs justify a wage increase of twenty per cent. Leaders of both sides agreed the other side wished an agreement but no one was willing to predict a settlement in time to avert a shutdown. o NEWS OF MOTHER’S DEATH L. A. Thomas of this city, received the sad news this morning of the death of his mother, Mrs. Eliza Thomas and which occurred at 4:30 o’clock this morning at the home of her son William Thomas, at Celina. Ohio. The deceased was 94 years * of age and death was due to infirmi- | ties. Mrs. Thomas was known by many residents of the county, having made her home a portion of the time . with her son here.

YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC -How National St no Are Punished. I. Israel Taken Into Captivity (w. 1-6). This was the fulfillment of that which Amos had predicted In the days of Jeroboam 11, at a time when the nation wits at the height of Its prosperity. The northern kingdom was ruled by 19 kings, all of whom were wicked. Their wickedness was not because of lack of Information or opportunity, but In spite of It. God promised the first king His blessing if he would be loyal to Him. Jeroboam departed from God and the apostasy thus begun continued downward to the end. In the reign of Hoshea, the last king, the king of Assyria came and besieged Samaria and carried the children of Israel captive to Assyria, from which they never returned. 11. The Sine Which Caused Their Doom (vv. 7-18). 1. Conformed to the ways of the heathen (vv. 7-9). God had commanded them not to follow In the ways of the heathen, but these Israelites, Instead of maintaining lives of separation, secretly did that which was displeasing to God. Secret sins Just as surely as open sins bring mln. for all things are naked and open to Him with whom we have to do. One may maintain his reputation before men while practicing sins, but ruin will sooner or later overtake him. Even though God had cast ont the heathen for practicing theae sins, the Israelites followed in their ways. God demands separation (II Cor. 6:17). 2. Served idols (w. 10-12). They not; only compromised by "walking In the statutes of the heathen,” but worshiped their gods. It was not a long step from following in the statutes of the heathen to worshiping their gods. Before they worshiped idols they cast off the true God. Idolatry came In because the race did not wish to retain God In its affection (Rom. 1:2123). People today are worshiping Idols because they have first cast off the authority of the living God. Man Is a worshipful being. When he ceases to worship the true God, he worships other gods. Neutral ground Is impossible. 3. They were rebellious (w. 1315). God by his prophet had said unto them “Turn ye from your evil ways and keep my commandments," but they stubbornly refused His testimony, even rejected His statutes. God, in love, tried to save them. He sent some of the noblest and best prophets who ever spoke to man to persuade them to turn from their sins, such as Elijah and Elisha, but they hardened their necks and plunged deeper into wickedness. 4. Caused their sons and daughters to pass through the fire (v. 17). This was the dreadful Moloch worship—the most cruel rite of heathen worship. It was done by kindling a fire in a hollow metal Image until Its arms were red hot and placing live children therein to be burned to death. 5. Resorted to magical practices (v. 17). When faith In the true God wanes, men always turn to the magical arts. In this way they sold themselves to evil in the sight of the Lord to provoke Him to anger. ill. Judgment Falla (v. 18). At this stage of the drama the curtain falls. God could not be Inactive longer. 1. God was very angry. God’s anger is not raving fury, but the revulsion of His holy nature against sin. Sin cannot exist In His presence. His wrath must strike. Though He waits long, the debt must be paid and always with compound interest. There Is only one way to escape God’a wrath;that Is, to turn from sin. 2. Removed them out of His sight. The land of Palestine is regarded as the land of God’s sight ; that Is, the place of His manifested presence. Their national identity was blotted out forever. These people are still scattered among the nations, and as a separate nation doubtless they will never return to their land. The judgment was severe, but not more so than the sins merited. God had waited long. The despising of His grace must eventually work ruin. What judgment must fall upon the peopls today who reject His grace and mercy! Bound to Materialize. Every thought we think Images itself In the mind and every Image that Is persistently held in mind is bound i to materialize.—-Jean Porter Rudd. 1 Perfect Peace. Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee; because he trusteth in thee.—lsaiah 26:3, ( He That Diggeth a Pit. He that diggeth a pit shall fall into .
