Indiana, as second class matter Ora Davies of Kokomo was renominated for state treasurer yesterday in the republican state convention. It is presumed the state accountants have carefully checked his books so that the same difficulty experienced two years ago will not recur. The only trouble with the plank in the republican platform providing for abolition of useless boards and com missions is that they will be the judges as to which are useless and will excuse themselves by explaining that they are all useful at least in providing jobs for the henchmen. • The railroads insist that the ten pei cent reduction will save the people sii billion a year. Well the twenty t< forty per cent increases must have in creased profits at the same ratio. Not that we are not appreciative of the saving but it does seem that the cut ought to have been enough to have really made some difference. The republicans in state convention declare in favor of the soldiers bonus Now if some of their silver tongued orators will explain just why if th ex are so strong for it they heven't pro vided such a prize either in state oi nation, it will disabuse a lot of people of the opinion that this plank along with several others, is pure bunk. The Civic Section of the Woman’: club, supported by a committee o business men will make a campaign to raise a thousand dollars or more a dollar for each child in town, to b< used in providing tennis courts and play grounds under supervision. It: a fine movement and we are sure i’ will receive the earnest support o' the good people of this community. The state of Kansas, at least th. democrats, have declared by rcsolu tion for McAdoo as the democrats nominee for president in 1921. The) adopted the slogan “McAdoo’ll do’ and expect to send a solid delegatios to the convention to boost for him It may be a little early but Kansas i: not the first state to take such action several of the western convention? having adopted similar resolutions. Though the platform committee had agreed that the home rule on tht taxing problem should be returned Governor McCray stormed the meet ing and forced them to let it alone declaring it a step backward. Many who regard the governor with high regard will disagree with him on this question. Niine out of ten people believe that the smaller units should fix the tax valuations and rates and that in so doing much expense and much opportunity for graft is avoided. If the democrats stand for home rule and make it as decisive as they no doubt will they will have the support of the people of Indiana regardless of politics for never in all time has such a yoke been hung about the necks of the people as the infamous tax law which takes away from the people every right and charges them exhorbitant prices for doing it. The people this year will again have the opportunity to declare themselves. If we limit taxes, do away with the numerous and needless boards and commissions, discharge unnecessary clerks and reduce expenses, we will meet the general approval of the people of this state. The republicans have given the opportunity to fight the campaign out on this issue and the democrats should accept the challenge. »

f The mid-summer meeting of thr Indiana Democratic Editorial Assocla tion will be held at Madison, Indiana Juno 22nd and 23rd. It will be a verj r H enjoyable affair we are sure for the J plans are being made to that and by the local organizations of Madison There will be two days of pleasure i 9 with speeches by leaders and its a & wonderful trip. You are invited to I) attend. Make it your vacation, see J the southern part of the state und ) meet the good people of Madison. I , The Decatur crowd for the democratic state conventon will leave here i next Wednesday morning and you are urged to join them. It will be a big . two days with plenty doing including ' the making of a platform which will appeal to the voters of the state. If you are opposed to the tax law, to the needless expenditure of employes and members of state boards and com missions, this is your time to say so emphatically and to assist in provid ing a promise to the people to correct some of the troublesome errors of those in power. », .._ FIRST CONCERT OF CITY BAND WELL ATTENDED (Continued from page one) A special invitation has been ex tended to Mayor DeVoss to attend the concert and make a short talk.

I 0 i ASCENSION DAY OBSERVED HERE (Contlnned fmtn page one) the honor that behoved Him as God. 1 "His ascension also marks the ac--1 knowlodged successful accompllsh--1 ment of His mission. The reception • accorded Him signifies the satisfac- • tion of the Father with the work done. His “sitting at the right hand of God” typifies the fact that according to His . human nature now as well as to His i divine nature He together with the i Father rules over all creatures in ; Heaven and in Earth, and guides and I protects His chureh. This latter fact I makes the ascension of Christ a great > source of comfort to Christians. "As the ascended Savior, He also acts in the capacity of mediator be- . tween God and man. Like the hlgh- ! priest of the Old Covenant, He stands in the Holy of Holies of God's presence, holding up before the eyes of His Father the blood He shed for the atonement of man. ever pleading in behalf of the sinner. “Finally Christ's ascensfon also 1 vouchsafes the believer’s ascension. Thus the Christian's faith is confirmed and his hopes animated. The practical effect of such fait& and hope is I that a Christian's conversation is in j the Heavens, that he looks forward 1 to a day when his soul will be translated to the realms above”. 1 "Justification by Faith Alone” is 1 the subject for the service next Wednesday evening. Prof. E. Schnedler of Concordia College will be the ‘ Speaker. SCHOOL ANNUALS 1 TO APPEAR SOON (Continued from page one) j ■ Marie Foos.
