THE TIMES HAS DOUBTS: — This editorial is from the New York Tinies, leading republican paper of New York City, therefore Interesting: “To put a copious periwig of rhetoric over painfully bald facts seems to have been the main purpose of tlie Indiana Republican convention. As children cry, “Let's Play” so-and-so, the faithful of Indiana played that the Republican party is united and that all’s well with It., \ "Mr. Beveridge’s descent on “United we stand’’ was in his best early manner. He was forced to return to that. In regard to the Adamson law, i the Sherman law, the principles of taxation and tax revision, he is not in sympathy with the majority of his’ party at Washington. There was no evidence in his primary campaign that he had ever heard of the Washington conference. So he pumped up the old canorous generalitties, for- 1 getting how ironical they sound in view of the Republican putilities at j Washington:, “We strive not at haphazard, as the ' whims of expediency invite; we build on principles as eternal and as sure I as nature’s laws. Short of sight and frail and transient as a watch in the night are the performances of those I upon whose brow the light ot tomorrow never shines.” “So the bonus bill and Mr. McCumber’s tariff bill, not to speak of Mr.; Fortney’s, are built on eternal prin-1 ciple. Dick Oglesby on “the blood-1 worn, battlestained Greenback” was > not more affecting. Does Mr. Bewr- ’ idge imagine that these old-fashioned I comic doxologles will attract the votes of intelligent men and women? , “The Republican party is not unit ed. It is divided. It has not kept its promises. There is general dissatis-{ faction with and irritation against j the Republicans in congress. These artificial Indiana raptures are of an i outworn mode. Mr. Harding and his administration — not including Mr. I Daugherty—are the chief and almost the sole Republican arguments.! In so far as the Indiana romantic i method blindfolds itself to the facts I and contents itself with “whooping it up” for the grand old party, it! will not commend itself to prudent Republicans.” Particular smokers like the best, Every day proves its no stall, “White Stag” Cigars are “pals” to men That’s All. For sale by all dealers, Try ’EM, You’ll like ’EM.

President Frinl when here a few days ago, approvot th< plans ami the local comiuiltet will get busy at once. It is plannee ;s 8 to hold a county meeting at Bellmont 0 park during July to be attended bj s 0 the board of directors of the Yeomen 5 It. should be the biggest event ever 0 bold in the county and will be it we j* all join in making it so. The pro gram will be worked out and an a nounced and then let's all pull to put this over and land the national school, a great thing for this community and p. wonderful work. The five hundred mile race is over and Jimmy Murphy, wild Irishman from the Pacific coast has a pocket r full of money; so have Carl Fisher and the other promoters of this recognized greatest sport event in the world. Something like a hundred ’ and fifty thousand people paid their ': entrance fee and enjoyed the thrills ' of the contest to make a new speed ’ king. Its funny that we talk hard ' times but at that these events attract ' earnings without a murmur. The Indiana democrats are in ses sion today, the state convention be 'ing held at Indianapolis. If the’ people of this state are to be protect ed its up to the party of Jefferson to ;do it evidently. The tax law is bad I and every one knows it, there is too ! muck power centralized in Indianap olis, there are too many boards and commissions and the platform of the democrats should be of importance to ,‘very citizen of the state, regardless ( of politics. If the railroads have to accept a ! ten per cent reduction in freight rates they will get even off the poor work ing man who has to produce for them. Wages are to be cut thirteen ' per cent to make up for the cut. If : the passenger fares are reduced this | will probably be charged up to the i men who pull the trains. It doesn’t ’ seem fair and it isn't. Will you help provide playgrounds , for the children of this community? , A campaign is to be put on this week i and you are asked to give a dollar .’or each child you wish to have the opportunity to use the grounds. If you haven't any of your own, remem j ber there are many whose parents j cannot afford to give and make a con tribution any way. Several dandy days in a row now have made every one happy and the nitlook for a bumper crop in Adams ounty is great. After all its hard jto beat this territory for a place in which to live. MONROE NEWS Dr. and Mrs. R. B. McKerman of Ft. were guests of relatives here over Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. George Rice and son. Everett, and George Smith, were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Munro, at Genova. Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. G. D. Glancy, and son. Medford, of Portland, were over-Sun-day guests of Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Hendricks.

He will probably move his family to the above place in the near future. RE-ELECT K. OF C. OFFICERS —LOCAL DELEGATES ARE HOME E X. Ehinger and W. A.

LARGE DECREASE IN NUMBER OF DEATHS IN COAL MINES SINCE STRIKE Washington, D. C„ May 31.—The effect of the coal strike is clearly shown In the decreased number of fatalities in the coal mines ot the United States in the month of April, 72 accidental deaths having been reported to the Bureau of Mines as compared with 154 during the same month last year. The figures are a natural result of the closing down of many mines throughout the country. All of the 72 fatalities were at bituminous mines, while of the 164 fatal accidents in April a year ago 55 were at the anthracite mines in Pennsylvania and 109 at bituminous mines throughout the country. The fatality rate for April 1922 was 4.56 per million tons of bituminous coal mined, based upon an output of 15,780,000 tons. No anthracite coal was produced during the month except 24,000 tons of steam sizes dredged from the rivers. For April 1921 the fatality rate was 3.9 fr for bituminous mines, 7.14 for anthracite mines, and 4.15 for both classes of mines combined. The production in April 1921 was 27,553,000 tons bituminous and 7,703,000 tons anthracite. Reports made to the Bureau of Mines during the past nine years (1913-1921) show that the month of April has averaged 222 fatalities with an average production of 41,529,000 tons of coal, indicating a fatality rate of 5.35 per millions tons mined. For bi luminous mines alone, the 9-year rate for April was U. 09 while for anthra cite mines it was 6.57. The bituniin ous rate for April 192, while higher than for the same month last year, is lower than the average for that month during the past nine years. "MISSING HUSBANDS” IS POWERFUL DRAMA t Love, Hate and a Woman Depicited in Novel Manner at the Mecca Theatre Pierre Beniot's sensational novel “L’Atlantide,” which was crowned by the French Academy, has been made into a powerful photodrama under the title of “Missing Husbands.” It has been obtained by the Metro Pictures Corporation as its newest release and will open a two days engagement in Decatur at the Mecca, Wednesday and Thursday. "Missing Husbands” has been the sensation of Europe since its initial publication in book form about two years ago. In producing the screen version of “L’Atlantide” no expense was spared in the selection of the cast or in the settings, the latter being as spectacular as they are elaborate. The settings are the last word in artistic extravagance and beggar comparisons with the any described in “A Thousand and One Nights," or the days of Cleopatra. Considerable of the action takes place wi(hin the palace of Queen Antinea, situated on a luxuriant oasis in the Sahara Desert. The palace is a marvel of color and design and the embellishments are not lacking in this respect. Thousands of dollars were spent on these scenes alone and the result is a revelation of exotic grandeur that you will not forget for many a day. “Missing Husbands” should prove as big a sensation in Decatur as it has in many other cities where it has already been presented.

May 31. —Sweethearts get a kissograph to tell whether ids or her love is sincere. So say Indiana university professors here who claim to have perfected a machine to test the difference between a Judas osculation and the proberbian first boyhood kiss excitedly de-, livered in the moonlight. The cold technical professors call the apparatus a plethymograph. In order to test the subject, he’ or she, places the hand and arm into a rubber glove surrounded by water which is contained in a glass jar which is inserted a guage to measure the pressure of the water which is exerted when the arm expands, according to the professors. This expansion which occurs when the subject is kissed they claim is a direct measure of the emotions. •
