The returns will be received at this office and at democratic headquarters. You are invited to join the crowd and listen to the returns as they are received and announced. The tribute paid the people of Decatur for the wonderful community spirit in the Yeomen meeting recently held here is one worth while and such praise is the vest best which can be given. A peaceful, co-operative, hustling people is needed to build a happy and prosperous city. It Is conceded by those who know Daniel W. Simms of LaFayette that he is a talented and able lawyer, one of the real leaders of the Indiana bar He will speak at the court room to-

night and every voter should hear hint discuss the political issues of the hour. Mr. Simms is a candidate for United States senator in the democratic pri mary to be held next Tueday. Whoever that senator is who is writ Ing from Washington he has the opinion of the public for tiie members of that body sized up about right and he admits that about everything they are charged with is true. We have no idea who he is or what his politics but the letters are sent out by the United Press and can be relied upon as being authentic. At least they make interesting reading. The Decatur housewife who argues that it is just as important to clean the city as it is to clean house and that everyone, young and old, man and woman should help to do that, is right. Why dump the dirt from the house into the yard and let it remain there? That’s like sweeping the dust under the .bed or the bureau, only worse. The city street commissioners and his force will help you clean the city and you should help them. Last month our exports were only a few millions larger than our imports. Think of it. This nation, greatest in the world with every facility and more resources than any nation on the face of the earth with this record. It shows

[' that what we need is foreign markets. It shows that we have been losing groat opportunities. It's time to quit r quarreling and tnud slinging and got • down to business. A high tariff won't r do it, spending time to beat civil service won't help but efforts to ar- ’ range a foreign market for our sur- > plus will bring real prosperity and I bring it as quickly as thut market is ' secured. We presume this community could get along without the library but for many of us at least it would be rather drab and rreary. The Decatur library is well stocked with clean and splendid literature, the service is not only courteous but wonderfully helpful mid no public place in this community is popular. The articles written by patrons and published this week as an observance of Library Week are compliments which speak *he feeling and spirit of all our people. Miss Anetta Moses, chief librarian, is untiring in her efforts "to please and to serve and to this noble.woman should be given much credit for the many benefits all have received who have taken advantage of the oportunities afforded those who either wish to gain an education or to while away pleasant, happy hours in reading fact, fiction or history. The library deserves and will have the earnest support of every good citizen. Start a bank account. Banks may break, but they are the safest known

THE CRYSTAL TONIGHT “HOLD YOUR HORSES” A big Goldwyn special production, featuring the famous star, Tom Moore as “Misther Daniel Canavan” delightful Irishman, fighter, lover and regular human being. A picture you’ll never forget, and a 100% comedy. As a street cleaner he was so meek and cowardly, he jumped at his own shadow, but you ought to see how he cleaned up the town when the great change came. Sparkling as the wit of the Irish actor who stars in it. —Also— Pathe News Don’t miss it tonight. 10 and 20 cents. —MECCA—TOMORROW Mae Allison in “EXTRAVAGANCE” Also 3rd episode of “The Adventures of Tarzan”

He re veals that he believes many people of the country are asking, "Why is the senate?” He makes a remarkable division of the senate into three classes, and assests Congress is not as efficient as some city councils. —The United Press, New York. By Lawrence Martin l lilted Frew Sluff Currenpoudent CHAPTER 11. (United Prewn Service). Washington, April 29—“ So this is

the senate;” That, the Senator who is giving me his actual impression of the senate said, was almost his first word on the day he became a member of the body at the northern end of the Capitol. “I said it in that facetious vein in which one says ‘So this is Paris!’ or So this is golf!’ Today I say it again, ‘So this is the senate'. But observe, I am not facetious now. "What is the senate? A good many people in this country as asking nowadays, ‘Why is the senate?’ I have been a member of it for more years than I am going to enumerate here, and I confess I am stumped to give a sensible answer to either question. “Oh, yes, I know its consitutional function and place in our governmental scheme. I know it arouses much righteous indigation when anybody casts aspersions on :the ancient and honorable body. Aspersions, criticism, ridicule hurt when they are true. That is why senators get hopping mad when anybody asks ‘Why is the senate?’ and somebody else says, ‘l'll bite: what is it?’ “The other day I read in a popular magazine a reference to Congress as ‘hat grotesque thing.’ I nearly wrote that author a letter complimenting him on his precise definition. Congress is grotesque. In the abstract, it is a great institution, a wonderful forum, a bulwark of liberty. But pracI' tically, it works with less effectiveness than the ordinary borough council. Again I ask, ‘Why?’ “And aijain, I am compelled to answer that I don’t know. I can tell you my own experience, and perhaps that gives as good an index to the trouble with Congress as anything. I "For some years past, I have had no purpose in life definite enough to be worthy the name. I have been plugging I along in a rut. I never realized 1t until I recently. I haven't even had in mind I definitely, at least, the purpose of beI ing reelected. I find now. as I look I back that this is true. I have gone I out and gotten myself re-elected, ot I course, but without much kowifig II why. I have made speeches to my

people, in which I have promised this and that in what a friend of mine used to call 'general glowingalities.’ But for the life of me, I cannot tell you why I am in the senate today. “I have found that senators—all fall Into two groups when they get to legislatures, for that matter—naturally Washington. In one group are the men who keep their local sense, and their close connection with the home people; who devote themselves to looking after individual wants. In the other group are those who regard themselves as servants of the nation as a whole, and who as soon as they conveniently can, forget about the petty demands of thrf separate voters back home, and aspire to greatness as national figures. "Now after a time, you discover—at least I have discovered —a third group. 1 belong to it. It is the group that sticks neither to the one nor the other of the main ideas outlined above — the group of ‘indefinites' I call them. And my life in the senate convinces me that it is the largest group of all. "The indefinites have only one idea it any. That is to ge re-elected. Oh, they are honorable men,, and some of them are able men. But they get lazy. The enervating climate of Washington, perhaps—and its 'social climate,’ is quite enervating. In my own case it lias been mostly a gentle growing old, I think.

"Which brings me to the point. It is not so much my fault that I am not a great man as it is the fault of the folks back home. The ought to have kicked me out long ago. That would have made me fight, or if I had been too poor stuff to fight, I would have settled back where I belonged, and would have grown old at my own expense somewhere back home, instead of at the nation's expense here in Washington. "There is a tip for the voter. He ough to clean out a lot of the contaented ‘indefinites.’ Then he would have a better senate.”
