stiffer laws to regulate the speed of automobiles will be passed by the coming session of the legislature. The problem is becoming a serious .. one and must be met. Have you purchased your supply of , Christmas seals? The annual campaign of selling the Red Cross Christmas seals is now under way and ' state headquarters has allotted 150,000 or $1,500.00 dollars worth of seals to this county. That number ' may not be sold but everyone should buy a few and use them on their letters or packages during the holiday season. A certain per cent of the proceeds from the sale of the seals remains in this county and is used in fighting tuberculosis and in giving ' aid to those who are victims of the dread disease. Purchase your share of the seals and help a worthy cause. Thurman A Gottschalk, of the district comprising Adams and Wells counties seems the favorite for minor-J ity leader in the lower house of the' legislature, a deserving honor. Mr. Gottschalk has served lb two previous sessions and is recognized as a leader of ability and honest worth. He is capable, industrious and safe ( and will work with the leaders of his e partv to secure the best legislation ■ for the people. He served in the session of 1909 and again in 1921. He| has the respect and admiration of all the members-elect and if selected as' we believe he will be will make a record worth while. John Wannamaker, prince of mer- . .1

| chants, died yesterday at the age of, eighty-four. The story of his life is' < one of those inspirations which come 1 i not infrequently in this country 1 I where boys who have to dig an edufcation from poverty and fight for' everything they get reach the top of the ladder. His two great stores in Philadelphia and New York are rec-' ognized as the>models of the world, and Wannamaker often credited his success to one thing—judicious ad- i vertising, in. which he believed to the nth degree. He was a fine : Christian citizen and even millions did not prevent him taking his fuil i part in Sunday school and church i work. Democrats in the Indiana legislature will make every effort to secure I legislation which will benefit the. people. They will try to secure the repeal of the present tax law or its f amendment to curb the expenditures 1 of money and they will oppose largeappropriations such as the million or more desired for the Pendleton prison and which is considered unneces- : sary especially in view of the fact ■ that the other state institutions also need improvements. They will offer, bills carrying out the state platform i and will try to keep faith with the voters of the state. These things' were agreed upon at a conference of the legislators held yesterday at , which time it was unanimously dei tided to work together.

A letter signed “A Mother, Elm 1 street” and criticizing us because of our support of officers who permit: her son to come home each day with “licor” on his breath, was received at this office today. We do not be-’ lieve it was written by a mother whose son comes home each day intoxicated because that mother we should think would find out from that! son where the liquor was obtained and file an affidavit so the officers Could make the arrests. We do not support violations of laws or indolence in office and if this “mother” will be brave enough to sign her name or to furnish the evidence we will give it such publicity as to assure her that her son will have to hunt another “tiger.” Writing annonymous letters is about the poorest way we know to help make a com-’ munity better. 0 CHURCH OF GOD REVIVAL The revival at the Church of God' is continuing with the same interest' and results which lias been manifest-' ed for the past few evenings. Good 1 altar services on both Monday and' Tuesday evenings marked its pro-; Igress. A number were converted.' Meetings w 111 continue all this_ week at 7:30 o'clock each evenings. The' ■ public is cordially invited to attend. I
