The election is but six weeks away and there is much to do. The most important thing right now is to see that every voter registers. Have you? Indications are that the allies will agree to the return of Constantinople, eastern Thrace and Adrianople to Turkey and thereby will at least for the present conclude the near east crisis, which for some days past has bordered upon another war in Europe. Staggered by the debts and the reconstruction problems after seven years of terrible struggle, it is not surprising that most any thing half way acceptable is taken as a basis for peace rather than war and the astute Turk knew that when he started to enforce his program. Just now those interested in politics in Indiana realize, the most important job is registering the vote. Unless you qualify you cannot vote and that means you must sign up registration blanks.

That’s what the parades and the public meetings are held for. Eventually it will fade away and some thing else bordering on the sensational will take its place. The American public loves something different and just now in a number of localities it is in the form of the ghost like maneuvers of the klan. The democratic state committee announces that Bryan, Marshall and I Cox will speak over Indiana during ! the campaign and besides these a half hundred orators of state and national reputation will be on the stump. Dick Miller, president of the City Trust Company and well known here has been named treasurer of the state committee. In other words the organization is being completed and well manned and there will be plenty of interest the last four or five weeks of the campaign preceeding election day, November 7th. The republicans have also secured the assistance of outsiders, four United States senators coming to the assistance of Mr. Beveridge. The other day Congressman Oscar E. Keller, republican, of Minnesota, demanded the impeachment of Attorney General Harry M. Daugherty. Among other charges brought against Daugherty was that his Chicago injunction constitutes an infringement on every American’s constitutional rights. Events followed rapidly. Congressman Volstead, chairman of the Judiciary Committee, quickly maneuvered the thing off the floor of the House and into his committee room. “Now file your charges and

Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound be a “friend indeed ” to you. let’s get through with this thing. And make it snappy,” was the Volsteadian attitude. "All right,” replied Keller. "Mr. Samuel Untermeyer of New York will represent the American people in this case.” Said Mr. Untermeyer being not only one of the most able lawyers in the country, but ; a scrapper on the side of the people in more than one controversy. "Case: postponed until December,” announced Chairman Volstead after a hasty, strictly party, committee vote of 11 to 3. When it had appeared that Keller stood alone in the fight to impeach Daugherty. Volstead seemed prepared to hustle the thing through. B«t if Keller was to have reinforcements —well, that was different. Better wait awhile, say until after the elections. —Indianapolis Times. ■ —e — Farmers In Law Suit Over Partition Fence A law suit involving the correct location for a fence between the farms of two neighboring farmers of Mon roe township was heard in the court of Justice Staley of Geneva Wednesday morning. The principals contesting the location of the fence are Fred Stauffer and Anton Zuercher of north of town and their differences have grown to such a grievance that the court has been appealed to. Ftauifer contends that Zuercher had built a boundary fence between the fields of the two farmers. Stauffer felt that the fence had been set in too far on his farm and therefore he (Stauffer) took the privilege to tear up the fence and posts and to throw it upon Zuercher’s farm. The case had previously been aired in the court of Justice Lammiman of Monroe in a jury trial but was venued to the Wabash township justice. The trial Wednesday was also a jury trial, butt Stauffer who is dissatisfied with the results may carry the case into a higher court. Surveyors who were engaged to survey the exact location of the fence report that Zuercher may have put th efence about one or two inches too far onto Stauffer s land. The case hag been contested about the technieality of the location of a fence within two inches. Zuercher maintains that since Stauffer tore up the fegee he should be made to replace it Stauffer maintains he only tore up the fence built by another on his property and that Zuercher must build it in the proper place. Zuercher is being represented by Attorneys Fruchte and Litterer of Decatur while Stauffer has Armantrout of Geneva and Skinner o| Portland to push his case.—Adams County Witness.

Will Seek To Abolish Railway Labor Board By Laurence M. Benedict United I'rean Staff CorreMpondent Washington, Sept. 23. — (Special to Daily Democrat) —When congress retuAs for the expected special session in November, there will be a determined move in both branches to do away with the railroad labor board. Many senators and congressmen 1 who have studied the matter closely fell that the board failed to function • as intended in the recent rail strike crisis. They hold the board partially responsible for the strike and claim that when peace negotiations were started by President Harding it long delayed a settlement by actions which antagonized both sides in the dispute. , At least a dozen bills proposing repeal of the law creating the labor board have already been introduced in the house. The author of one such measure is Rep. Foster, republican, Ohio, close : friend of Attorney Daugherty. Another is Rep. Cooper, republican, Ohio, former railroad engineer. I , Strikers On Big Four May Lose Their Seniority I Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 23—Strik-! : -*rs will lose their seniority rights and return to work as new men, if the plans of E. M.

Hart, head of the striking machinists of the road. Hart said that a conference had been arranged with Big Four officials * ’.his afternoon after which all of the striking shop craft men on that road would be ordered back to work. On the Monon, strikers were re-’ turning to work today, their seniority I rights gone with respect to the work-i ers who failed to walk out but still, in effect among themselves. Several thousand men will be as-i fected by the order to return to work I on the Big Four. Costin was confident his plan which : Included a scheme for keeping all of the strikebreakers as well as the strikers at work, would be accepted by the union heads. o— Election Necessary To Name Mayor’s Successor Brazil, Sept. 23 —With the city council a tie politically a special election will probably be called to elect a mayor to succeed Mayor William Strobel, democrat, who died today. He had been ill several months with tuberculosis of the throat. He recently returned from New Mexico I where he went in search of relief 1 without result.

w Dodge Brothers MOTOR CAR A constant unremitting process of betterment has been Dodge Brothers policy from the first. Consistent with that policy, the body linep of the car have recently undergone a new and distinctive revision in design. The new radiator is singularly smart and graceful. The cowl is higher, and more vividly expressive of the car’s roominess and abundant power. Further improvements in the vitai mechanism have notably increased the excess margin of strength which has always characterized the car in every rugged detail of its structure. T. J.
