Now they say there is plenty of coal but no trains to move it. Senator Hiram Johnson of California is up for renomination next Tuesday and if reports of his power' in that state are true it looks as if | he will be renominated. ————- The cool fall days will soon be here and a majority of the people will be without coal. Something should be done to get the coal now being mined a moving and action should be taken at once or you’ll hear of many people freezing this winter. , We have received many congratulatory letters on the Yeoman Day edition issued last Tuesday and expressions on the splendid community spirit shown by the people of Decatur and Adams county. Nothing better could be said of the good people of this community. At the end of the democratic administration in this state when Governor Ralston s term expired the total state tax was sixty-eight millions. In 1922 the state’s levy will be $114,641,000 00 an increase of nearly one hundred per cent. In 1921 there w-as an increase of seven millions over 1930. And that is not all. Word comes from Indianapolis that the state is figuring on boosting the 1923 levy. With county, city and townships cutting the levy for next year it looks as it the state should do a little slashing. Press dispatches from London state that former Emperor William is bethrothed to a charming widow of a former German aristocrat, due to the fact that this lady visited him in his seclusion at Doorn. Former Kaiser Bill is no doubt lonely and wants a partner to share his misery and he might as well try to get in the limelight, but in his exile he will have some job trying to keep up with the McCormicks, Candlers and a few of the lesser lights who have been try-

ing to use all the front pages within the last few months. • "The accident which occurred ut the high school building yesterday when’ the steel trusses toppled over or slipped from their sockets in the wall ■is regrettable. Os course no one thought that such a thing would hap ! pen and it would be unfair to say I that anyone was directly to blame 1 for the cause. It seems that the I trusses, through the lack of bracing at one end gave way, pulling the others and the scaffold down with it. As far as known the foundations, the ' walls and the building in general are not the least defective or unsafe and any damage done to the top walls by the pul! when the steel fell can be repaired. There is no cause for alarm. ’ The contractors are reliable and tin members of the school board will sei that any defects are corrected. Accidents of this kind are not uncom mon in the building business and itj is just one <of those cases where ac cidents will happen. The cause will be investigated and the building will | i I be made perfectly safe before work. is resumed on it. The newspaper world and the peo ■ i pie of Indiana will mourn the death of Delavan Smith, for over twenty! years the active publisher and gener al manager of the Indianapolis News, one of the powerful and best papers in the country. Although in ill health for a number of years he remained cheerful to the end and his I untimely death is greatly felt. Mr. 1 Smith, the son of William Henry Smith, a veteran newspaper man who was a reporter during the Civil Wai days, was associated with the late Charles W. Fairbanks, former Vicepresident of the United States in the, ownership of the News and since 190 c was the active publisher. The News i is known for its aggressiveness in its editorial policy and when Theodore Roosevelt was president the paper severely attacked the Panama Canal policy, with the result that friendly' relations between Mr. Smith and the President were broken. As publisher, of a powerful paper, Mr. Smith did much for the promotion of the journalistic profession and his counsel and advice will be greatly missed. , INDIANA’S HALL OF FAME; HOOSIERS IN WHO’S WHO Mooresville contributed one woman ■ Carrie E.
