The primary has at least convinced the voters of Indiana what New and Beveridge think of each other. Candidates are no doubt thankful, that they have but five more days of the grind. Seems like a lot of people try to see just how embarrassing they can make it for them.

Daniel W. Simms, lawyer, states man, leader, will speak at the court room tomorrow evening on the import ant political issues of the day. You may not be for him but you should listen to his address for he is an able speaker of experience and ability. John Tyndall stands for the best interests of the people which means he will if sent to congress use good common sense and will make an effort tc accomplish those things which will lighenten the burdens of citizens. He has never failed you in the past and after all that's the best rule we know of by which to judge a man.

The people this year will reniembei that taxes are three times what they were a few years ago. that the staff surplus has been exhausted and the state thrown more than a million dol lars in debt and it will reouire some explanations to make them feel it just and right. The candidates who prom ise to reduce the number of boards and commissions and cut off a few millions of the expenses will be the fellows who deserve and will receive the support of the people. If you have any other idea you will find you are far off the track next November. Now we have Senator McCumber announcing with owl-like solemnity, ane with the knowledge that he is talking mere rot, that the bonus must and shall be paid, but that it shal not cost the American people anything. Th< absurdity of such a statement would choke an ordinary hack driver, but it does not even phase a United States senator. How can the bonus be paid unless the money comes from the American people? The fact that the plan now is to borrow the money doenot mean that it costs nothing. It would be just as idiotic to say that when you borrow money with which to buy an automobile in the hope and ex

pevtatlou that later on, by the time the money falls due, a bad note owing will bo paid, you pay nothing for the r automobile. The cowardice of the men ► who rule us is beyond all precedent. r The Preside nt* nd the secretary of the treasury have insisted that the bonus g money be raised by some scheme of ® taxation. Hut they do not intend that ) this scheme of taxation shall fall nay ’ heavier on any of the 47 varieties of ) war-made millionaires than upon the ' mother of the dead soldier, who is now taking in washing for a living. A t sales tax tor the wash woman to pay is fine; an excess profits tax Is vicious Which Is altogether a matter of judgment. However that may be, when the oldlers are paid their bonus money will come from the American people and sooner or later through some form of taxation. The McCumbers talk as though they look upon the people as mentally detective children. * a . — MRS. MAHAN WAS GIVEN DIVORCE ,

CONFESSIONS OF A UNITED STATES SENATOR By Lawrence Martin Vailed Free. Staff Carre.poad.at CHAPTER 1 Washington, April 27,—(Special to Dally Democrat) —“! am a failure. And it is too late tor urn to begin over again." That’s how the Senator began his story to me—the story of his real impressions of the United States Senate which he said he wanted to tell for reasons which he ticked off on his Angers with the legal precision for which he is noted. Here are the reasons: I—Because the American people sleet men to office, then go about other business and leave their servants done, taking no further interest in 'hem until some day something displeases. Then the people heap abuse mil scorn upon their one-time favorites.

2— Because anybody who thinks the life of a senator in Washington is a round of golf and poker, plus a few iinner parties and powerful speeches to admiring colleagues in the senate Might to find out what a senator's life really is. 3— Because the senate is decadent and ought to be reformed —reformed heroically ami completely. This is the Senator's story; let him tell it. "Lots of folks around this country ire talking about a third party. I’ll give them a tip. Any party that would start out with a platform pledging it to clean out the senate —every last man who is now in it —and begin over again, would be swept into power more amazingly than the present administration was. “That may sound rough on some of my Colleagues. It is. But the sen ate in such bad shape it cannot be patched; it must be rebuilt if it is to ‘mount to anything again. There are a few men who would come back in he new senate, because they desire to. Die great majority would not, if once the people could get their true measure. "We senators are pretty big frogs n our home puddles. But there are some city councils in this fair land where common sense is more pronounced and where it is oftener used than in this body which calls itself the most august legislative assemblage in the world. "Isn t it funny to hear a senator refer to the senate as august? He would never think of referring to himself as august—that is, not out where folks could hear him. But he fatuously thinks he’s getting by with something when he refers to the senat® —himself and 95 others just like him —as august.

“W e're a lot of pedestaled prigs. We have the blind belief of children in our own greatness. That's too bad, snd it's also amusing. "But it isn't the worst thing about us. What is? That’s easy. "The worst thing about the senate is that it's too far away from the people who created it. Think it over. "Take my case as a sample. Nobody ever came down to Washington with more enthusiasm for the publicwealth than I. "Oh, I had a trunkful of dreams I was going to bring true. I haven't dared look into that trunk for years. I know I'd find nothing but a heap of ashes in it. "Well, when I came down here, I knew most everybody in my home town, and scads of people in my county and state. I liked them. They seemed to me then the salt of the earth. We are the best of friends — these people and I. “That's why I say I’m a failure. They write me letters and I hate to answer them. They are hicks, rubes, dubs. lam a senator. That's a plain, brutal, Gods-truth statement of the case as it is. “That's why I say I’m a failure. There are a lot more reasons which I'll tell you presently. THE PUBLIC LIBRARY (Continued from page one) should have access in order to properly prepare himself for his pulpit and pastoral work. Here the public library ig a Godsend. In it he can find that which he lacks in his private library. Again every pastor should keep posted. He ought to read current magazines and periodicals. His means usually do not permit him to subscribe to many of these. Here again he can go to the library and find a well chosen assortment of magazines and periodicals. The public library can and should also be a source of great helpfulness to the laity in the church. Especially to the young people. They will there find literature of all kinds that will stimulate them to better thinking and better living z thus ■ supplementing the influence of the church in their lives. The public library provides clean, wholesome entertain

ment for our young men and women, keeping them away from places of entertainment of doubtful character. The public library is also a source of help to the church in its service to the children. The children will find, in a well equipped library, reading matter suitable to their years and needs. It is a safe place to send the children and parents can be sure of the influence that is exerted upon them there. In the library usually (a building of imposing achitecture) they must be quiet and orderly. This is indirectly teaching them to be quiet and reverent when they enter the bouse of God. Finally the public library can be of great help to the church in its service to the mature adult church members. Those of our older members who avail themselves of the privileges the library offers, find that ! it gives them a broader, saner, more Christian view of life. If more of our church members in official capacity made use of the public library we would have less of bigotry, intolerance and pastoral heartache and more of generosity, kindliness and real Christianity in our churches.
