GOVERNOR RALSTON A REAL CANDIDATE:— The large vote received by former Governor Ralston as Democratic senatorial candidate, a vote sufficient, to nominate him without forcing him to go before the state convention, is certainly most complimentary, and in it he may well take pride It is a demonstration, if one were needed, of the confidence which the party has in its candidate, a confidence which Governor Ralston has fairly earned, by faithful service both to the party and the state. There can be no question as to his strength as a candidate, or of his ability to make an effective campaign. He has the respect of men of all parties, even. of those who will vote for his opponent, and this respect is no more than his due. The Democrats of Indiana made no mistake in their choice. For, win or lose, Governor Ralston will worthily represent them, and the principles for which they stand. It is to be said further that he was drafted, and that his case is one of the very unusual cases in which the office really does seek the man. In his statement in The News of Wednesday, Governor Ralston said: I am very proud of Indiana, and I am ambitious to do whatever 1 can to make more glorious her fair namw. In the evqnt of my election to United States senate, I shall bring all the zeal and intelligence I possess to my aid in my effort to assist in solving the ‘great problems in which my country may be interested and to solve them in away that my country shall continue to be the light of the world. If the campaign is conducted on that plane and in that spirit, and there seems to* be no reason why it should not be, the people of this state may look forward to a summer in which there will be time enough for baseball and golf, and an occasional circus, and at the same time an abundance of time to devote to their political duties and to the issues as they will be presented. It should be said that the Democratic vote is about three times that cast at the primary two years ago, which is a remarkable increase, though largely of course acounted for by the fact that women voted on Tuesday last, whereas they did not vote in 1920.

Adams copnty is proud o£ the fact that one of her citizens has been nominated for congress, the first time in history and we believe that John Tyndall has an excellent chance to be elected next November. He does not want the office for the purpose of fighting any noe but to fight for every one in the eighth district. He has the ability and- if sent to Washington will do his best to relieve present conditions. He knows the needs of the farmer, the laboring man, (the merchant and the manufacturer and he would be a real asset for our people. A campaign to let every one in the district know him and all about him will be made and it is safe to predict now that this county will stand by him loyally. •» There seems to be a lull in the matter of deciding the location for the Yeomens school and not a word has been heard for sdtne time. We believe it w'ould be a good plan to renew our efforts soon and to let the board of managars know we are still anxious to receive them. Wish some one would tell u» just what these state police are supposed:

to do other than draw their salaries. Every few days we see one of them standing around on the street, looking wise and talking about the weather and the best make of cars. No wonder the states owes a million and it keeps growing. We are overrun with useless officials and boards and commission. What we need is some common sense government. The senate and congress will now devote a week or two to a discussion of the New-Beveridge contest. Can you imagine a more disgusting thing? The representatives sent to Washington to make laws and to take care of the present normalcy situation fool away the hours in useless talk and political plays. The country will be better oft If every man there is sent home and their places filled by citizens with good horse sense. e The clean up brigade only got over about half the city this week, so half the people still have the chance to get ready for them. The job will be finished next week. The districts covered show the good results and every property owner should be ready for the trucks when they come along. — — REIGHNING CRAZE

Radio Fans to Have Department 1 in the Democrat. Radio has taken the country literally by the ears. Nothing like it ever has been known in the history of the world. Receiving sets are being placed in city homes, farm houses, business offices, theatres, on moving trains, even in limousines, to catch the winged words and meandering music from the air, at the rate of a hundred thousand a month. The Democrat, always on the lookout for the interest of its large circle of readers, has inaugurated a Radio Department which will contain brief articles covering something of the history of radio, the mechanics of radio, and the broadcasting and utilization of radio. Here is an opportunity for the fans of Decatur and vicinity to keep up to date in the construction and obtain a good deal of practical information in the construction and operation of radio “sets.”

HOME-MAKING A PROFESSION SAYS HEAD OF GIRL’S SCHOOL

Home making is a profession and requires training just as other profession do, according to Jessie Ann Long, head of the Commonwealth School, New York. Miss Long further believes that home-making is one of the fundamental professions for women; that no matter what else they engage in, home-making is their particular business. Miss Long conducts exclusive private school for girls which is concerned,, principally, with teaching its stulents the fine points of housekeeping after the French manner where the management of a home becomes an art. To the French ideal this Americana school adds the thoroughly American study of tlje relation of Ute home and the community. “The young women of today.,” says Miss Long, ‘“find after marriage that an intelligent interest in community and civic problems is required of them and to wealthy young women falls more and more the executive burden of charitable work. Consequently, discrimination between good and bad charities is essential for girls who inherit or achieve social leadership. "There are no maids to pick up after cur girls,” Miss Long answered when questioned about the details of teaching. “When a girl gets a meal she washes up the dishes afterward, and leaves the kitchen as she will later expect her maid to leave it. She has been taught, by practical experience, what perfect order involves. Even dish-washing becomes a game when practiced in competition with companions one's own age.” The Commonwealth School has been in successful operation for four years under the patronage of women prominent in New York society. o O.

Mallerne of Decatur, Illinois, is visiting several days at the Charles Burdg home on Mercer Ave. CUT THIS OUT—IT’S WORTH MOE CUT THIS OUT— IT IS WORTH MONEY Cnut ot this slip, enclose with 5c and mail it to Foley & Co., 2835 Sheffield Ave., Chicago, 111., writing your name and address ’clearly.
