Mr. Hoover has fixed six dollars per ton as a fair price for coal at the Virginia mines. Wonder what has happened in the three months since he declared that $3.50 was plenty. Price fixing by the government is the biggest joke we know of. Too much consideration for the poor owners and operators and too little foi those who have to pay the freight, profit and a few other items. This is the time in the campaign when each side claims a victory. The real test will come Tuesday. Novem ber 7, and the results will depend largely on the organization that day for getting the vote out. What is claimed or said now does not mean so much and usually these statements are made so similar that you can get any kind of a prediction you want. Keep on working until the polls close. Walter Myers who spoke here last evening is one of the young men of the state who has a future filled with the opportunity to serve his state and nation. Clean of habit, qualified in« every way, able and con vincing he will stand out among the leaders of the men of his age and we predict tnat in the' years to come you will hear often of this young fighter for the caus eof democracy in which he believes sincerely and earnestly. The state taxes from St. Marys township this year were $7,957.15 as compared to $4,456.79 four years ago under the old law. If there is any reason on earth why the citizens of that township should be paying that increase to the state we would like to know it. Blue Creek paid $3,317.07 in 1918 and this year $5,808.56. That's the way it runs folks and under the centralized plan now in vogue you will be hit harder each year. The state tax board has already announced an increase for next year and there is no limit. If for no other reason in the world, you should vote the democratic ticket this year because of their pledge to repeal the vicious tax law.

The police will arrest young men who arc caught soaping windows, destroying property and otherwise Interfering with the rights of others. For J. many years this has been the pracJ’ tice as Hallowe'en approaches, much r. to the inconvenience of hundreds of r> people. There should be no pleasure in destroying property or in mutilating the windows and dwellings and " stores. The officers should be oom--0 mended and assisted in their efforts to u 0 stop the practice. Tell the boys to 5 enjoy themselves without seeing how 0 much rubbish they distribute or how 1 much damage they can do. Help them have a happy time without causing some one else expense aud trouble. Down at Indianapolis a man named Tutewllcr is the republican candidate for county commissioner. He seems . to be a "live one.” Any way the other evening he got mixed up in a flivver and a quart, bumped into a buttment, was badly bruised up and lost one ear, was arrested and is now awaiting trial. If they vote for this man it is surest proof of the insincerity of the people of that county but they insist they are not going to. Last year in the city election it was necessary to take a candidate or two off the ticket after their records were investigated and the big g. o. p. machine rolls right along, notwithstanding. The voters of the country have been “joshed" into voting for normalcy aud uoA au effort is being made i.a kid you into voting in support of t. In other words they want you to say now that the low value on farm products, labor and other articles which you may have has been a :ood thing for you and that the onlyway to have real prosperity is to make the rich man’s profits greater and you foot the bill. They argue that lower wages taken with a smile while the manufactured products arc increased in price is the right thing. ■Jeveridge told them practically that it Columbus. At Fort Wayne he told .he railroad men they ought to work onger hours for less money. If these arguments appeal to the average person who has to make a living, we give up. We do nbt know just what the people of this county think about the new tariff law but we feel sure that when its effects are felt you will not »e for it. The law went into effect inly a week or two ago and consetuently it will be a month before you begin to feel the sting but it will :ome. The men who pushed the bill over are not bluffing. They did it to make money and they will go ■hrough with it so long as you let them. During the next year or two we will know just how the tariff ilfects us. We predict that eventually it will again divide the republican party for right now their is more mnity between the factions of that larty than between the two old patties and it will grow-.

The lesson committee has grata! toualy nafued thl« lesson "World-wide Prohibition.” Neither the text nor the context, directly or Implied, say* anything about prohibition we understand the eee of the word. However, when Messiah shall reign upon the earth the rum traffic with all other iniquitous practices will be abolished 1. Messiah’* Commlaalon (v. 1). He wg« appointed by the Lord. God'* plan'Tor the world 1> a time of peace and blessing. jll. Messiah's Program (w. 1,2). Messiah’s program la twofold: to “proclaim ths aeceptabls year of th» Lord, and the day of vengsaeeo ol our God." The careful reading ol Luka 4:18-21 will show that Jesus suspended reading of this passage at the comma, in Isaiah 61:2. His first coming opened up the day of "gract and the acceptable year of the Lord,' and Ills second coming will usher In “the day of vengeance of our God.’ (II Thess. 1:7-10; ct Mai. 3:1-3). 1. Proclaiming the Acceptable Yem of the Lord (vv. 1,2). In His ministry of grace He preached (1) “good tid lugs to the meek.” “Meek” hen means not only a grace, but a condi tlon, that is, those in poverty anr affliction. (2) “Bind up the broken hearted." "Bind up" signifies healing (3) “Liberty to the captives." Tht figure es deliverance from the Baby lonian captivity is used to describe deliverance from sin and death (Heb 2:15). (4) "Opening of the prison t< them that are bound.” Messiah’! work was to give deliverance to thos< who were enslaved by' the cense quences of their sins. (5) "The ac ceptable year of the Lord.” This means a space of time in which Goc would accept all who repent of the!) sins and coms to Him. 2. Proclaiming the day of vengeance of God (v. 2). While the day of merci Is lengthened out, the time of judg ment will surely come. The day 01 vengeance will break upon the world when the Lord shall be revealed froir heaven (H Thess. 1:7-10). The period of mercy Is called “year,” while thi period of vengeance Is called “day,'' showing that the period of mercy is much longer than the period of wrath 111. The Blessings of Messiah'? Kingdom (w. 3-9). 1. "Comfort all that mourn” (v. 2). The day of vengeance will bring sor row to many, but they shall be com sorted when they shall see the King on the throne. 2. "Give unto them beauty foi ashes" (v. 3). Thia peculiarly applies to Israel. 3. “Oil of Joy for Mourning” (v. 3). Israel has been mourning for cen turies. When the Messiah shall reign as King they shall be glad. 4. "Garment of Praise for the Spirit of Heaviness” (v. 3). Instead of wearing the symbol of the burden of gin they shall be clothed so as to in dicate their joyfulness. 5. “Called Trees of Righteousness’ (v. 3). These trees represent Israel as planted by God and bearing fruit not aa reeds bowed down with sor row. 6. “They Shall Build the Old Wastes” (v. 4). Israel shall return to their own land and shall rebuild the city of Jerusalem and the cities of Judah which lie waste. 7. “Strangers Shall Stand and Feed Tour Flocks" (v. 5). In the time of the kingdom the Gentiles st-ll rendei voluntary service unto Israel so that Israel may devote her whole time to the service of God. 8. "Ye Shall Be Named the Priests of the Lord” (v. 6). God chose Israel to be rhe priestly nation to represent Him to the Gentiles. 9. “For Your Shame Ye Shall Have Double” (v. 7). Instead of the shame and confusion which Israel has experienced for centuries she shall have double honor and rejoicing. 10. “I Will Direct Their Work, and Make a Covenant With Them” (vv. 8, 9). God will vindicate His people and cause the Gentiles to see the divine favor upon them. False Prophets. Believe not every spirit but try the spirits if they be of God, because many false prophets are-gone out into the world.—John 4:L i , Unjqst Things. » He that speaketh unjust things cannot be hid, neither shall the chastislag Judgment pass him by.—Book of Wisdom, 4:8.

Wonderful Babe Ruth On Downward Trend By Henry L. Farrell > United Press Sports Editor) New York, Oct. 23. —His second big i "bust" in a world’s series and his most I disappointing season, leads tb the bei lief that Babe Ruth is through. It may be that he was in a psychological slump all season after getting a ’ late start—if he got started— and that he will be back doing his old stuff next season. 1 Chances are against that, however, unless he changes his way of living during the winter. Huth has lost his eye, the perfect timing and coordination that used to make him such a terror at the bat and the swing that gave him the most powerful drive in baseball according to a prominent basebull man who has been :-lo%e to him all season. "One of his main troubles is the loss it perfect vision. To retain perfect light an athlete must keep in strict raining and Ruth does not,” he said. ‘His mode of living also has put so much weight on him that his swing las-been thrown off. He doesn’t get the drive that he used to. He misses halls now by four or five inches that le used to murder. He has worried ".limself into changing his stance and Ms confidence obviously has been weakened.” Yankee dub owners are thinking of iisposing of Ruth, according to responsible authority. It is hard to believe, however, that any dub would dispose of the greatest irawing card in baseball. it may be true that his poor showing his year will make him less of an attraction next season, but it is believed hat almost as many customers will lay to see him making a bust of himself as used to go out to see him bust'ng the ball. Ruth has done a lot for baseball ind he ought to be given a chance. He, nore than anyone else, saved the tame after the expose of the 1919 '■orld'g series scandal. How he is to be given a chance is lard to figure, however. The fans vere very patient with him this year nd if the encouragement from the tands had any influence he ought to lave been the champion slugger this season. His future rests entirely in his own lands. He knows that fate is fickle ind that he cannot stay in baseball >n his reputation. He will have to deiver or he may be the biggest card of he minor leagues in 1924. Riley Hospital to Be One of Finest in World Indianapolis, Oct 25—Indiana will lave one of the most complete and me of the finest children’s hospitals n the entire world when the James ‘.Vhitcomb Riley Hospital for Children, pow under construction here, is ompleteff, according so leading health authorities who have examinid plans for the institution.

The hospital although erected in he capital city of the state will in •eality be an institution of service or every county in the state. The completed project will cover welve acres of ground and will be nade up of a group of buildings. Surrounding the hospital will be an jighty seven acre park, the gift of ‘he city of Indianapolis, in which will i eventually ,be constructed buildings 'or convalescent patients. Thus, in I ime, will be the capacity of the hos lital, originally designed for the care. ind treatment of 350 bedridden ehild sufferers at one time, be conliderably increased.

This sum is being raised by popular subscription throughout the state, contributions to the hospital being made over a five year payment plan. In alone more than $400,000 has already been raised from among less than 360 contributors.

Offer Rewards For Game J>aw Violators (Special to The Daily Democrat) Indianapolis, Oct. 21. —Placards offering SIOO reward to anyone providing the fish and game division of the state conservation department with information that will lead to the arrest and conviction of persons unlawfully using dynamite or other explosives in any of the state’s public waters, are soon to be posted throughout Indiana. This step is taken by the conservation commission with the determination to stop this nefarious practice of dynamiting fish, a practice that is largely responsible for cutting great inroads into the piscatorial sport, Richard Lieber, director of the department, said. According to George N. Mannfeld. superintendent of fisheries and game, dynamiting is the most despicable tojjn of fish law violation. Once a charge of high explosive is dropped into a public stream, hundreds and thousands of fish are killed, and the work of many months of artificial propagation undone. Thousands of fish too small for any other purpose than stocking streams are killed, and the public waters robbed of baby fish that in a few years would have increased manyfold the piscatorial sport in Indiana. The placards make it plain that SIOO will be given in the case of each conviction. In the event two or more persons provide information upon which a conviction of dynamiting is made, then the one first to submit the evidence will receive the reward, Mr. Mannfeld says. It is also pointed out that no officer or employe of the state conse’ vation department shall be entitled to any reward, and that any attempt to participate in the same will cause immediate dismissal of an employe endeavoring thus to profit. Conservation officials are determined that dynamiting fish in Hoosier I

waters shall become a lost art. Each year the four state hatcheries propagate and plant in this state millions of young fish. The greatest menace to fine fishing is the dynamiters, and the time is here for this class to give j away before the taw, Mr. Mannfeld; declares. Conservation officials say the SIOO reward will be open to payment for one year from October 10. * ■ - College Lecture Course By Radio at I. U.
