It's a fine cutting of hairs and almost equals the permission of violations of the Volstead act if three miles from shore. Chicago is making a play ground campaign that the children may be kept off tile streets and away from traffic. Every live city is doing it, big or small and no difference why—the' children. That ought to be sufficient chcldren. That ought to be sufficient to make every citizen here boost for the women who are working at the •campaign here. Strange as it may seem, Senator, New of Indiana is against the primary law and declares it nominates sonic who otherwise wouldn’t have a look in. Wasn’t that just the reason it was ' made? We admit that it it hadn’t ' been for the primary law Senatoi New would have been renamed on or dors from Washington, but the people decided that it was time not to give heed to the 8. O. 8. from the capitol. New’s argument will help retain the law.

Os course you have noticed how much cheaper everything Is since wo got the ten per cent reduction in I freights July Ist—nit. We are Informed now that the reduction was not ten I per cent of the total but ten per cent 'of the last forty per cent increase. It beats all how they cun make these orders tit the pockets of the big fellow all the time. The reduction on a Car of coal is said to be nine cents a ton. Adams county now has 727 miles of road, leading all counties In Indiana. Os course they have cost money and it requires a hundred thousand a year to mtaintain them but its, worth it. The roads in this county are in excellent condition. Superintendent Magley and his force of men I are working hard at their jobs and the results can be seen in a drive over the county in any direction. We are proud of our roads and we should keep them up. Good macadam roads, well maintained, are the finest roads in the world and after all the least expensive. The ship subsidy bill has been dis carded again. While no action has been taken in the senate a dinner was given the other evening by Senator Lodge to a few leaders and after cos- ; fee and everything it was decided that forcing the bill on the country at this time would be a foolish political move, though admitted that the profits for some of the best party supporters would be great. Tough luck for the poor millionaires. If they will wise up and do the same thing with the tariff bill, they will be better off in the long run. President Harding while home over j I he Fourth dropped into his newspaper office, rolled up his sleeves and typed I off a few editorials, but we notice they were mostly on the subject ot 'civic pride, improvements, the Golden Hide and a few subjects not touching I vital questions of the country such as •strikes, ship subsidy, tariff, soldier bonus and a few other small matters

r of great, importance to the country, j His official position of course prevent- , ed that but it would have been interesting If he had just become a plain i country editor for a day and told what t he thought. Attorneys passing on a bond issue for Shoals, Indiana, have decided that L the road petitioned for, is a part of t state road number five and that consequently, the jftate must do the improving. If that’s the case an the su■l preme court confirms it, the main street in nearly every town and city in the state will be constructed and maintained by the commission. It l does look however as though the cities should maintain their own main thoroughfares and we believe the courts will so hold. Country towns should not tie asked to rebuild and maintain Washington street, five miles long, in Indianapolis or Calhoun street in Fort Wayne. More than a million workers in various lines are on strike in the United States at this time, protesting against wage reductions and the general conduct of affairs connected with the normalcy program and the end is not yet. Twice that number are planning to strike and in the meantime, spokesmen for the administration are going up and down the country telling the people that it’s fine. It is, for the man who employs labor at less wages and holds up the price of his product, but its certainly anything but satisfactory for the farmer, laborer and small business man. In the meantime congress is working one a tariff. hill that will further increase the cost er. Can you beat that brand of poli of living and make the rich man rich tics? Not unless you vote against it, we are sure. _» ■ Chicago—The firework’s bootlegger with small boys as patrons, has appeared here. Two were arrested.

Police arrived and after arresting Giret, dispersed the mob. Seven companies of troops tn vrbana, Decatur and Delavan were otdered to their armories and held for instant service when reports of violenc reached state officials. The situation at Decatur was be. lieved particularly dangerous. The mob of 200 formed shortly before the train carrying strikebreakers arrived. As the new men started to alight cries of “scab, scab, you don't get the jobs same from the mob. The threats became so violent that the men retreated to the safety of the car and remained out of sight until the train pulled out of the station. Two companies of National Guard were being mobilized in the town at the time. In the meantime union leaders, rail: executives and the United States railroad labor board continued to maneu- ■ ver for positions looking toward going ’ into conferences to end the ctrike. Baltimore & Ohio railroad officials claimed that a fire which broke out : in a string of box cars in repair shops 1 here was incendiary. The lire was ' extinguished before doing serious - damage. $ $ —$ —WANT ADS EARN—s—s—s '$ $ S—WANT ADS EARN—s—s—s
