A. a. result of the fee for registei ing tile title of your automobiles, a fund of over $300,000 was raised the past two years and is now on hand. As usual however this money raised for one purpose is to be diverted for another if a few politicians at Indi- • a'hapolis can have their way and it looks as though they can Rottea business we call it.

j Fort XVavno dailies tint! played it with headlines designed to injure us. | There was about as much truth to j this us to a number of others they i have used the past year—nothing—and now we will see just how fair ! they are when they discover that j tlierre was absolutely no foundation j for the story from here and it was not intended for Decatur. Como on boys, give us soiuq of that high grade I Journalism you are always talking Clarence McKinney who has served 1 live months of a life sentence for the 1 murder of. a Wilmington policeman says he has “nothing agin noboddy'- ! but feels his family should be reimj bursed by the state of Ohio for the ' $6,000 they spent to prove his innocence. It looks as though he is right though of course there is no means whereby an innocent man is reimbursed for the cost of estalisliing the fact. His past career made the police suspicion him and he was caused to suffer as a result. It is fortunate that the man Vandervoort confessed before McKinney had served more ol liis sentence or that the jury did not impose the death sentence. With an appropriation bill oi about eighteen million besides the roads' ami many specials, it will b« interest lug to note just how tht money is to be raised without an in creased tax. Os course it can't b( done unless the gas tax of two cents a gallon is put on and automobik taxes increased. If that isn't a tai what is it? Anyway you can bet tha you or some one will have to pay ii a lot of money to meet your share o the increased overhead. And remein her that when the legislature opened we had a lot of “bunk" about econ omy. retrenchment, etc. and yet the results are the wildest on record. According to the Fort Wayne fiflpers. the young people of Decatur art a bad lot. liable to arrest because 01 a "home brew" party. We deny the allegations and we believe that if the Fort Wayne papers wish to be fail they will display on their front pages a correction, giving it the same prom im nee they have the stories which are without foundation. The Journal Gazette yesterday morning printed a rather sensational item under a De catur date line telling of a wild beer party which was being investigated and would probably result in the ar rest of twenty young people. Th afla(- happened at Wabash. Then the News came out last evening with a similar story on their front page ven quoting the police as admitting that they knew the dance was being held but thought it private. It was a "rewrite” no doubt and easy to happen but we insist that both papers owe this city a corrected statement in plain words. The People’s Voice THE FOUNDATION OF AMERICAN LIBERTY (By W. H. Stults, R. F. D. No. 9) In the eighteenth century just be fore the rfssembling of the British troops, a babe was born in Virginia, who was destined to become the fattier of a new nation. He was named George Washington. With all his modest estimate of his own powers, we know that George was a boy of unusual endowment, that he possessed five marked talents. But we know that his talents were more than doubled by his unflagging industry, fired by hfs great purpose, by his vision of service, which is today world-wide. Love of Washington becomes the bond of attachment of American Liberties. Then a government of greater justice arises. Civilization has dawnod. and a new government carved out of the British empire by the sword of Washington. He strove for the principles of liberty, equal ity and love. Washington proved himself equal to the requirements of his position. He was hailed with public manifestations of joy and love, which springs from the hearts of an affectionate and grateful people. There is but one that is greater j than Washington. He was born in a manger, reared as you and 1; then gave his life on the cross for all mankind. Here honor is bestowed on Washington. the man first in war, first in peace and first in the hearts of his | countrymen. As mortal man, his lite

MAPLE SYRUP IS BOILING Sugar Camps In Indiana Have Been Opened Up For Annual Campaign Indianapolis, Feb. 20 —Maple syrup

has started boiling in many Indiana sugar camps, according to reports to I the department of conservation. In some sections of the state, maple] trees were tapped in the latter part I of January although the industry is not expected to get really under way until early spring. Charles C. Deam, state forester in the department of conservation, said ' that Indiana produced sugar and syrup from more than a million trees in 1919. The record for 1919 was the latest one available and revealed a, crop value of nearly $1,000,000 or an average of slightly less than $1 for l each tree. Deam said that when sugar camps operate, the owners can cut a wood I supply for the next year. In the course of wood cutting and cleaning] of the woods any stick not desired for fuel, can be used in the camp for evaporating the sap, he said. The forester contends that Indiana woods are badly neglected. He based his contentions on a personal inspection of the greater area of the state. A timber crop should be farmed, he said, like any other crop produced from the soil. The “weed” trees soch as dogwood, redbod. water beech sassafras, iron wood and grapevines could be cut out during the sugar season. o OBJEC T TO BONI) ISSUE Wells County Taxpayers Demonstrate Against $72,000 Issue Bluffton, Ind., Feb. 22—Philip Zoercher, democratic member of the state tax board,' was here yesterday to conduct a hearing on three J merson township roads, based on remonstrances of taxpayers against issuance of bonds for a total of approximately $72,000. The roads in question are the A. P. Kelley, at Tocsin, tor which Pat Addington has the contract, and the Charles Clark and Harry Bunn stone roads, for which Charles Clark was awarded contracts. At a previous hearing, held last year, the board refused bond issues on the dhme roads, and without readvertising for new bills, the commissioners issued a second nitice of a purpose to issue bonds. 1 • 1 ' J JERIE BUYS’NEW PULLMANS Fourteen Pullman sleeping cars, recently purchased by the Erie railroad from the Pullman company and remodeled for '.suburban passenger service, are being installed.
