Tlie Indiana democrats in convention today will adopt their platform and nominate their candidates for the different state oilices. The platform will be sound, not radical in any respect and will meet witli favor among those who belie?ve that the great state of Indiana should get back to the old Jeffersonian style of democracy. The Nevada supreme court lias upheld the divorce granted to Mary Pickford, movie actress, from Owen Moore and now little Mary can continue to live with the hero of the screen. Douglas Fairbanks. Whatever the decision of the court was, we believed that Mary and Doug, would do that anyway. Attorney General Daugherty, poli tician supreme, and advisor of the ad ministration wil! not resign from the cabinet in face of the charges hurled against him in the senate. He intends to stick and the president cannot remove him, for had it not been for Daugherty—well Someone else would have been there. It is said that Henry Ford will be a candidate for the presidential nomination in two years, presumably on the republican ticket, which means that even if he does win in the primary and carries the country by storm, that he may not get the nomination in tin convention. He may find himself in the same boat with General Wood. The solicitation of funds for the pro viding of playgrounds will either take place Friday or the first of next week, it depending on what the committees decide to do at the meeting tonight. The women of this city are planning to establish several play grounds about the city for the children and will ask the citizens to give a dollar for every child. If you are asked to help, do it cheerfully. You are helping the chil dren.

I' The women of this city are making plans for the opening of a public rest , room in Decatur and every encourag ment should be given to them. The »r k plan us outlined would not bo expen £ sive and it is a known fact that this city needs a place of this kind. It’s a step in the right direction and we a sincerely hope that the women of the • Women's club will be successful in 0 their efforts. 6 -■ -— 0 0 The Fort Wayne Yeomen have adopted resolutions commending the local citizens and Decatur Yeomen for a the stand taken in trying to secure the National Home here and have goue on record as being in favor of having the • Home for Children located near Decatur. That should be encouragment for this community. We appreciate i the support of the Fort Wayne Yeomen and the local members of this 1 great fraternal organization feel • that it will greatly influence the na- ; tlonal officers when it comes to de- > eiding where the home shall be built. 1- —— — The Boys Work secretary writing in the Kotarian magazine has the following to say of playgrounds for the boys and girls: Every community should provide i playgrounds, well equlped and super- . vised, for its young boys and girls. Following, from the pen of someone whose name is not known, are given eleven reasons for providing playgrounds which will appeal to those whp love children: — Because children have a right to demand safe and properly conducted play-places where they may enjoy life |’n the fresh air and sunshine. Because properly directed play nakes better men and women and, ■onsequently, contributes to the comnunity's highest welfare. Because playgrounds furnish the best outlet for the exuberant spirit of youth and direct that spirit in the right channels. Because playgrounds, like public schools, are thoroughly democratic, teaching the lessons of equality, jusice and fair play. Because playgrounds keep boys and ;lrls off dangerous streets and out of inwholesome places and bring them ogether in happy association under ■iroper supervision for joyous play in lod’s blessed out-of-doors. Because playgrounds, wherever es ’ablished, have always resulted in lessening juvenile delinquency. Because boys girls with playground training think better, clearer ind straighter. Because the playground boys and girls will make better parents, citizens, workers, home builders and employers. Because American cities every where find that playground systems ' pay dividends which cannot be estinatod in dollars and cents. Because the modern directed playground is everywhere recognized as a most important supplementary to the school and church. Because we —you and I and all of us—owe it to our children, to posterity, to our city and our country to provide the rising generation with ■very opportunity in our power, to make of them strong, honest, industrious and patriotic men and women, and thus advance the Kingdom of God.

ASKS LIBERAL CARE FOR EXSOLDIERB (laltrri Pre«» Service.) Indianapolis. June I—The1 —The worst casualties suffered by American soldiera during the world war aro just beginning to show themselves, according to C, J. Harris, an official of the American Legion's national headquarters here. There is an average of two exsoldier suicides a day, Harris declar ed. These men, almost without exception were in the battle lines in France snd returned to the United States with their nerves ragged from their experiences. These combat soldiers, the Legion official contends, showed no sign of "shell-shock,” and were discharged by army doctors as normal, with apparently no ill results from military service. The strain of fighting for existence is responsible for the increasing number of suicides among ex-soldiers, Harris declared. There are two ways in which the Legion hopes to minister to these mental cases and to prevent their increase, Harris said. The Langley bill, now law, provides $17,000,000 for the construction of new hospitals. The larger portion of this money is to be spent in creating facilities for treating the neuro-psychiatrics, mental patients. The Legion also is preparing to petition congress to liberalise the present Sweet bill. This bill now makes it impossible for an ex-soldier to obtain government treatment for war injuries which show up more than two years after his discharge from military service. The Legion contends that it might easily be five years after an ex-soldier’s discharge before injurious physical and mental effects of his service would appear. | and will demand a liberalization of I the bill's provision.
