Advertising rates made known on application. Entered at the postoffice at Dora tur, Indiana, as second class matter Every citizen of Decatur should support and assist the civic improvement section of the Women’s Club to beautify Decatur. It's a splendid work, a needed effort and deserving of our very best.

The Decatur Castings company and other local industries are advertising for men, a sure sign of improved times. This community is going along nicely and will go big after we are well around the corner and prosperity really starts, in fact we have gone through the period of depression much, better than most places and this is still the finest spot in all the country. The audtors for the public servlet commission ought to be about througl with the little job of checking th< books of the city plant. If they don't finish that work with dispatch anothei protest should be sent to the commis sion . They weren't invited here ir the first place and each day they re main costs money for which there wil be no returns. It’s all “balderdash. A news dispatch from Washingtoi says the president will go to New Jer sey Friday for a week-end visit witl Senator Edge which makes up forth fact that the administration is no' trying to solve the coal strike, relievi the farmer, plan better markets oget out of the normalcy rut. W hat f the use? Golf must be played whether the nation goes on or not.

Republicans leaders in congress will oppose the efforts to force an inves tigation of the conduct of the department of justice in war graft case; Why? If there was crookedness th light of publicity should be turned o> in full force and if not there shoul< be an end to the insinuations. By al means let the investigation be mad< and if men are guilty prosecute and punish them to the fullest extent. Attorney General Daugherty has given an opinion that candidates sot the United States senate may spent unlimited sums of money to secnrt their nomination and election. Ir other words the millionaire can bin his seat in the upper house. The opin ion is based on the decision of th< supreme court in the Newberry case Needless to say the millions will be used.

Adams county democrats arc invited and urged to attend the state conven tion may 31st and June Ist. It will be a rousing meeting and of interest. The campaign this year will be con ducted on state issues and there will be no lack of things to talk about Plan to attend the meeting, assist ir securing a platform, sound and sensi hie and victory will be assured in No vember. Ed Wasmuth, republican state chairman was ousted yesterday and hie place filled by Lawrence Lyons, chairman of the state highway commission. Wasmuth is one of the squares! men in the game but became the “goat” in the mixup between Goodrich and Watson and had to go. Lyons is a smooth politician and the fellow they want to use just now. Guess every dog has his day. There is some prospects of Hon, Claude Bali of Muncie becoming a candidate for the democratic nomination for judge of the appellate court from this district. If he does it is needless to say the delegates from this county will support him. He is a Clean and able lawyer, an excellent

campaigner and a mighty fine gentleman in every respect. Hla admirers in this section sincerely hope he will get into the race. * The selection of Lawrence Lyons to be state republican chairman leaves a vacancy as he will of course have to get off the commission. He gives up a good fat job to become state chairman which very probably pays better. Some other politician will be promoted and you pay the bill. It's a fine system under wich we are now being taxed to keep up a supposed highway commission which is really a political machine. No wonder it costs three

times what it did a few years ago. The democrats of the eighth district will meet at Muncie next Tuesday morning at eleven o’clock to select the district chairman and complete the organization. The meeting is iinpor tant and should be attended by those interested in party success. Dalo J (Titenberger who has been the chair man during the past two years has an nounced that he does not desire re election. The county chairmen of the six counties in the district will elect his successor and they should choose a man who can devote the time and effort and has the ability to assist ir renting harmony in each county With a united democracy the distric' ■an be carried as it was for a numbet if years. Adams county leaders be lieve tliis honor should go to one ol the other counties and will gladly sup port the strongest man for the job The right start is important. 'EVERAL HUNDRED ATHLETES WILL COMPETE IN SECTIONAL HIGH SCHOOL TRACK MEETf Indianapolis, Ind., May 11. —More han twelve hundred athletes repre ;enting 119 high shools of Indian; vill compete in the sectional trad ind field meets at ten cities in var ous parts of the state, Saturday, Ma? 3.

There are some wonderful athletes n the state this year. Marks of Warash high school recently did the 220 <ard low hurdles faster than the state ■ecord. Notham the Sheridan sprin er, broad jumper and shot putter if sure to be a big factor in track and Ic'ld events. Gray of Techical high .von the 100 and 220 yard dashes last /ear at the state meet, and the speed cing is faster than ever. Connersville tas a good mile runner.
