There j is no reason why every qualified per-1 son should not cast a vote and thus part in the affairs of govern-, meat. Let’s find out where we are on the , Yoeman home proposition. Perhaps we can do something to hurry things along if we get a little busy. If we can't do this let's forget it and get busy on something else which will help our community.

Get behind the Decatur Industrial association, be a booster and a helper and let's pull together for a bigger, better county and city. This nation is $265,000,000 more in debt than a month ago, the official records showing that loss in the month of October. Evidently the Fordney tariff bill is not the revenue producing law it has been advertised to be. Senator Borah, of Idaho, declares that the republican party, of which he is a leading member, must change their policies or that a strong third party will appear for 1924. He points to unrest in the G. O. P. ranks in many states and evidently is considering very .seriously assuming the leadership of the new party. He is a man of vigorous fighting qualities and it is more than probable that the next two years will produce some rather exciting turns in politics.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1922

This is “cancer week” In America and efforts are being made through the local physicians by the American Society for the Control of Cancer to interest the people in a campaign for public education to the end that the mortality rate from this cause may be reduced thirty per in the next » ten years. The churches will assist . and a message will be read from every pulpit next Sunday. A hundred thout sand people die from cancer each year „ and if effort will eradicate the disease j or tend to do so, we should all join r in the efforts now being conducted by the physicians who are doing so great a work to aid humanity. t The campaign is over and within an hour or two the voting will be ( complete. It only remains to count the vote and announce the results. The campaign here has been free from mud slinging and dirty work and the I verdict will be accepted in a good . spirit. We believe this country will not enjoy good times until the vicious tariff law is repealed and we have little faith in those in charge of affairs at Washington doing that for there is too much favoring of the great interests at the cost of the people. Each time a dollar is given to the big interests or a dollar taken from their taxes it is added to the overhead of the middle class. The results of today’s election will tell how hard the people have been thinking and what theh - conclusions are. The people are voting today and the i returns will be received tonight and ! tomorrow. Indications here were that the vote w’ould be large for an off year aS the voters Went to the polls early and by noon today a larger number had been cast than is usual at that hour. The day was perfect and will aid in securing a big vote. Returns from the county, district, state and nation will be received at this office tonight. It is expected that state re turns will begin coming in about eight o'clock, but county returns will probably not be received before ten oi eleven o’clock. Extra phone lines have been added to make the work as speedy as possible. Bulletins will be posted and the returns will also be flashed across the street from this office by stereoptican. This office will make effort to serve the people with the election news. Cafeteria supper, M. E. church.

Sheffer, his brother, and the other for the murder of Cora Sheffer, his sister-in-law, was submitted to Judge Dan M. Link in the Dekalb circuit court Monday morn ing by Dudley Gleason, of the firm of Bratton & Gleason of Angola, attorneys for Nie Sheffer, Mr, Gleason contended that Mr. and Mrs. Sheffer were killed at the same time and that the two murders constituted but one crime. Charles S. Smith, deputy prosecuting attorney, who represented the state, told the court that the two murders could not be considered as one crime. He said it might be true if a bullet passed through a persons's body and killed another, but that w!is not the case here. Judge Link said that the defense would lose nothing if the motion to consolidate was overruled, as an acquittal on one charge would prevent the state from prosecuting Nie Sheffer on the other. —Judge Link said he would render a decision on the motion Wednesday morning. Attorney Gleason said he would submit a motion for a change of venue from the county, Wednesday morning. o BRITISH CURIO HUNTERS London, Nov. 6.—Ninety per cent of the educated British people are curio hunters, British museum officials showed today.

Attention Moose Regular meeting W ednesday night. —Dictator. Portland High School Net Team Ready Now The Portland high school basket-H ball team unofficially opened its twenty-game season last Friday night by defeating an Alumni team made, up of Ralph Ohen, William Fleming. I hnd others of the 1921-22 squad, by a close score of 18 to 17. The game was not open to the public and was] staged merely for practice purposes to assist the coach in his selection of a first team to represent the Purple and White in its fir>t inter-high school contest with Dunkirk on next Friday night. At the first call for practice some two weeks ago, some twenty-five men not inclusive of those on the football squad, responded for tryouts and with the late addition of six men from the grid team, prospects for a winning | team are very good. Successful candidates are being chosen by an elimination method and at the present time about sixteen basket-tossers are putting in their "best licks” for places on the varsity. "Despite the fact that we have only two players. Farris and Blowers, as 'experienced' basketball men, Portland fans can look forward to following a successful team," is the statement of Coach Cook. Portland’s home games will be played in the new Armory gym, and I from all indications its large seating capacity will be taxed to the limit. “We would like to arrange two or three through-the-week, or Saturday night games,” says the coach, “otherwise our schedule is complete.” Dates have been submitted to Muncie, Monroe and Fort Wayne high schools and to the alumni of Portland High. The schedule in full is as follows: Nov. 3( —Winchester at Portland, cancelled. ■ Nov. 10. —Dunkirk at Dunkirk. Nov. 17. —Probably Bluffton or Monroe at Portland. Nov. 24.—Royerton at Royerton. Dee. I.—Pennville at Portland. Dec. 8. —Eaton at Eaton. Dec. 9.—Decatur Catholic High at Portland. Dec. 15.—Decatur at Portland. Dec. 22. —Union City at Union City. Jan. 5. —Royerton at Portland. Jan. 12. —Pennville at Pennville. Jan. 19. —Noblesville at Portland. Jan. 26. —Winchester at Portland. J Feb. 2. —Union City at Portland. Feb. 9.—Eaton at Portland. Feb. 16.—Decatur at Decatur.

Deputy Sheriff Os Wells County Fined — Bluffton, Ind., Nov. 7—Deputy Sheriff Albert Frauhiger paid a fine of $5 and costs today in the court of Jus- ’ tlce M. W. Walbert, when arraigned on a charge of assault and battery, 1 1 lodged by Night Policeman Lem Stout after Frauhiger had beaten Charles Murphy. The incident occurred Saturday night when the deputy sheriff called Murphy from a pool room aud precipitated a fistic encounter. Frauhiger asserts that Murphy, who has just completed a 90-day sentence at the state penal farm, had circulat-| ed a story to the effect that the deputy sheriff had been a partner in the operations which led to the penal farm sentence. The deputy sheriff, vigorously denying the truth of Murphy’s statements, asserts the story calculated to affect the political interests of Noah Frauhiger, a brother of lhe deputy. — oMEXICO’S PUBLIC SCHOOLS Mexico City, Mex., Nov. 6.—Statistics issued by the department of education of Mexico show an attendance in the schools in the republic of only 6.06 per cent of the population.
