Mo BORAH AND WAR: The nation and the world will be Interested in Senator Borah's elabor atioii of his plan for outlawing war. it has been said by some that the plan is more idealistic than the Wilson league of nations- a remark that is extremely suggestive. The implication seems to be that what ever is idealistic is bad. and hence that the more idealistic a policy is the more pernicious it is. The word idealistic as thus used is conceived to be practically synonymous with fanciful or fantastic. Yet an ideal may be the most practical thing con ceivable. I'nhappy would the state of man were it nut so. An ideal may not be capable of immediate realization. But it is always something to be worked toward. No man in his senses* would not be glad tc lead an ideal life. Perfection is an ideal, and yet it is the aim of all good men. If the Borah plan is to be con demned it must be for other reasons than tljis. As tar as it has been out lined, it does not seem practical, by which we mean, not that it is ideal, but that there will be difficulty in putting it into effect. But the sen ator has at last come to see that we have a duty to the world which can only be discharged through co-opera tion with the world. About that even Borah is now right. His plan would, of course, i| adopted “entangle” uwith other nations, and impair that isolation which is so dear to the hearts of certain statesmen —or poli tieians. We can uot work with others and at the same time remain detach cd from them. The people of the world are, we believe, prepared to consider any scheme that will even minimize the I chance of war. That was all that j was claimed for the league of nations. Perhaps nothing more than this is possible so long as human nature ir what it is. Certainly it is hard to believe that there can be any abso lute insurance against war. any out lawing of it except as the result o'

It la said that somewhere out ir ' lowa there is a little city which at , tracts considerable attention because of the fact that every business front In town is painted exactly alike. We J wouldn't like the Idea tor we would I surely tire* of the sameness and then [ each business house would largely i lose its identity and there would be [ a tendency to strangle competition which is never a good thing. However, there is this about it that when one paints, they all do and for that part of the program we are for. If every business house in Becatur would brighten their fronts this spring—and it will bo here in a month—the effect would be marvel >us. Add to this the painting of the telephone and electric poles, and we would make a step or two ahead. Let's make it snappy. While it is improbable tiiat we will get a pa veil road between Decatur and Fort Wayne built by the state at least for several years, the efforts now being made arc worth while. If we don't try. it, is a sure thing, we won't get it, while, if we put forth a real effort, we imjy. The state will only improve those highways which have a fifty foot righ-of-way, and that is consequently the first step. Atl tend the meeting at Monmouth to night if you are interested, and if there is a chance to get a paved road, help do it. The Fort Wayne News is having a lot of fun- telling the truth about Lawrence Byons, the ' republican state chairman. Evidently they didn’t like him any better than a lot ot other people and he is not the only one in the bunch they could /alb about if they would. While house cleaning, they might finish the jobbut they won't. A bill to give members of the Horse Thief Detective association the right to carry guns, is before the legists, ture with a very good chance to pass. It may bo dangerous unless the association takes care of whom they ad mit as members. Fifteen thousand armed men might include some who ought not have the privilege, it seems to us on flrtst blush. It is announced that when Dr. Coue got time to count up his niekler and dimes he discovered that his lit i tie trip to America netted him the j tidy sum of $26,000 over all expenses ' ami a nice vacation. Every day in ; every way lie no doubt likes America line as a place in which to practise painless operations for the speedy removal of coin of the realm. II does beat everything how fast a coal pile can dwindle during a week like the past one Some who figured a supply that would hist until the blue birds came, have changed their mind. ■!• + ♦ + ♦♦+* + +♦ + ♦♦♦ + TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY ♦ <• — ♦ + From the Daily Democrat filet ♦ + 20 years ago this day ♦ + <■ + + + ♦ + ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ David B.

Michigan has joined the "also ran" class. Portland plays at Bluffton tonior- • row night. The Panthers defeated Bluffton decisively at Portland a few weeks ago but the Wells county team has improved considerably since then. Portland should win by a narrow margin. L'uion Center tackles Bluffton on Friday nigbt. This should be a vic fory for 'Bluffton, ami more food for Out of Bounds. Indiana will move into a tie with Illinois and Michigan for third position in the Big Ten race tonight if she defeats Northwestern. Come on. Young America, we're ready for your demonstration.

In a certain county a controversy arose as to whether the county or the state should build a bridge across a designated stream and finally resulted in taking the case in to court. Th« whole affair hinged on the width of tile stream and many witnesses were examined with a view to finding out junt how wide it was. Finally an Irishman was called to the stand and asked the customary, question about the width of the stream. "Sbure an 'tis not very wide." said he. "Come, come.” said the judge, "you must give a plainer answer than that. Now just how- wide is the stream ?” “Siiure an’ as 1 said befure 'tis not very woide. Your honor, I could sphit. half way acrosst ut." "Here, here,' exclaimed the judge, "your out of order." "Oi know thot Oi’m out of order." returned Pat, "fer if Oi wuzzent Oi < mild sphit clean acrosst ut.” And Hie county built tile bridge.
