Yeomen lodges in northern Indiana favor the locating of the Yeomen's home in Decatur and will it is understood, adopt resolutions to that effect. Every boost like that helps and if the Yeomen decide to build their home in Indiana, Decatur will stand an excellent chance to get it. Let’s keep working. The noted physician who performed the gland operation on Harold McCormick, millionaire head of the Harvester company, has given out the statement that human glands were not transplanted in the body of his patient. And human glands were not used, pray tell us what were. Maybe Mc-Cormick wanted to fly and an eagle was used. Decatjir has reached its eighty-sixth birthday and during the next fourteen years plenty of time will bo given for the planning of the one hundredth anniversary of the fair city. A real celebration should be given on the centennial anniversary and no matter if a majority o( us now living are dead and forgotten by that time wc can talk about the affair and tell the world that we are going to celebrate. Remember June 23. 1936 is the date. Secretary Weeks of the War department is charged with being a "wet" in view of his speech made at the Pennsylvania. Military academy, when he expressed his opinion on the I prohibition question, saying ho “believed the Volstead law should be amended." Since Chairman Lasker of the shipping board is making money for the government by selling booze on the boats, the secretary no doubt thinks the acts of Uncle Sam should nt least ho legalized. ■MrMjxmkwwMPtnvwwrr —x rn 11 u f

A cordial welcome is extended to the ministers and other dignataries of the Lutheran Missouri Synod who will visit Uiis city tMnovKW and attend ' the Jubilee celebration at St. Johns I During the week the 75th annual conference of the Synod has been held in Fort Wayne and the celebration tomorrow will be a climax to a most successful and happy w6ek. We arc glad that the chnh officials decided to visit Adams County and in behalf of the community assure them a hearty welcome. Now let's get the playground fund out of the way and complete the plans for the big Yeomen celebration to be held in August. This event, next to tiie Northern Indiana Fair promises to be one of the biggest days in the history of the county and it will take some work to properly plan for it. Yeomen from other cities have signified their intentions of coming here and it is up to Decatur to show the Yeomen officials and our guests that this city is the ideal place to locate the children's home. Governor Ralston, democratic candidate for United States senator in his speech at Madison the other day said that the taxpayers of Indiana must this year decide for themselves whether they crave a continuance of i the extravagance calling for destructive taxation, usless boards and commissions, or prefer a return to that sanity and economy in taxation as enjoyed during the last democratic state administration. We venture to say that the people have enough of the present high taxation and centralized state government and will voice their sentiments against a continuance of it at the polls next November. | That's your only chance. — In printing the list of teachers for the Decatur public schools, it might be said that the school board worked diligently in trying to secure the best teachers possible. Proper investigation was made of each individual's ability and we believe that with the opening of school in the fall, the Decatur public schools will continue to have as high class teachers as any school of its size in Indiana. The progress that the Decatur schools have made within the last few years is evidence of that fact and Superintendent Worthman and Messrs. Myers, Falk and Peterson of the schoal board are to be commended for their untiring efforts in the interest of the schools. .j him —ii i i mi— ■ n ■! T ■Another political {jandal. A certain William Smith of Indianapolis told Judge Anderson in Federal court yesterday that he paid $809.00 to : Xdolph Seidensticker, secretary of the state board of pardons for his release from the state penal farm, being sentenced there for 180 days on a charge of bootlegging and was released after serving 78 days. Judge Anderson was astounding and demanded to know what proof Smith had of paying this amount of money to Seidsticker. Smith replied “I have receipts." Seidensticker when informed of the acquisition stated that he did not receive SBOO.O, but only $500.00 and that it was paid to him for. acting as Smith's attorney. It seems funny that a member of the state board of pardons can also act as attorney for a criminal. Judge Anderson will no doubt investigate the matter and the people of this slate may see a shake-up in the ranks of the members on the state board of pardons. If the charges are true, there should be.

SCANDAL IN THE STATE GOVERNMENT ATTRACTING MUCH ATTENTION TODAY Indianapolis, Ind., June 4. — (Special to Daily Democrat) —A scandal in the state government attracted attention today. District Judge A. B. Anderson said he would "look further" into charges of Bill Smith, a bootlegger involving Adolph Seindenaticker, secretary of the state board of pardons, in a bribery deal. Smith said he paid Seidensticker SBOO to have him released from a state penal farm sentence before the sentence had expired. Smith, lieutenant of “Chief Big Jim" career in the Clinton liquor conspiracy case, said he had served 78 days of a 180 day sentence when Seidensticker obtained his free dom. “Have you ever been arrested before?” asked Judge Anderson in considering Smith's case for sentence. “Yes, Sir, I was sentenced to 180 days on the penal farm.” “Did you serve it all?” “All but 102 days of it” Smith replied. “How did you get out?” “I got out for $800." The judge exploded. “Who did you pay SBOO to?” he asked. “Mr. Seidensticker”, Smith replied explaining at the courts request who "Mr. Seidensticker” was. Smitli referred to him as “That Pardon board fellow.” Upon further questioning. Smith said he had receipts to show the money was paid, and Judge Anderson sent him home for them.

BROTHER OF OIL KING IS DEAD William Rockefeller Died Early This Morning— Brother of John D. (I lilted Press Service.! North Tareytown, N. Y„ June 24. — (Special to Daily Democrat)—William Rockefeller, brother of John 1)., died of pneumonia here early today. He had been ill one week. Five physicians were in attendance when Rockefeller, one of the richest men in the world, expired at his home Rockwood Hall, only a short distance from the estate of his brother at Po eantico Hills. , Many members of the Rockefeller family were at the bedside when the end came. Pneumonia developed from a cold which the brother of the oil king contracted during the rainy weather which has prevailed recently. He was 81 years old. two years younger than John D„ and despite his great age fought hard for life. The physician in attendance were headed by Dr. W. J. Robertson. • William Rockefeller when taken ill, was having a $250,000 mausoleum built in Sleppy Hollow cemetery, from his own plans and under his personal direction. Rockefeller's illness followed a visit to his old borne town. Ridgeford, N. Y„ where he and John D. went to look over the places where they played as boys. It was the first time they had been in the town since they were children. Both William and John, two of the wealthiest men in the world, tramped over the paths they used to tread and even attempted to engage in some of the old time romps they enjoyed as boys. In this trip they traveled 700 miles by automobile and the effort, it is believed, may have weakened William Rockefeller and made him more easily suspccptible to the disease which killed him. William Rockefeller had been in poor health for a number of years, as a result of an operation for throat trouble. However, he maintained an active interest in the vast financial enterprises of himself and his brother and frequently participated in the most imvertant business conferences in the financial world. KEEP OFF OF WAGON In order to avaid accidents or injury to the children I will not permit hopping on my ice wagon. Several near accidents have been averted. I do not care for the small pieces of ice taken by the children but am afraid that someone may be hurt and wish to inform the parents that I will not be responsible in case any accident should occur.
