Now is this the best or the second best legislature in fifty years? We have a right to ask tho question. Anybody can answer. Congress is actually over and unless there is a special call the people can rest easy from fear of more laws being enacted at least until next winter. The regular session will convene December 4th. The sixtyseventh session closed with songs and laughter, Uncle Joe Cannon who retires after forty-six years service made a speech and the president signed nearly a hundred bills. Well let s get down to real business now and do the best we can. We cannot assure you that Decatur or Indiana will land the Yeoman home. We hope so and we believe we still have at least as good a chance if not better than any other community, but there is many a slip and until the matter is definitely settled it cannot bo assured. We have at least attracted attention and we have made such a showing as should please those who believe in the community spirit here. We are sure to go forward. Be a booster. You will derive much pleasure and will help a good cause.

An approjn iatiou Lu pay (or fu)4ing 36 million copies of speeches and pamphlets, is one of the interesting items of the national governments budget estimate for the nest fiscal year. Ten million copies will be issued by the Senate, rest by the House. Everything seems subject to change in our civilization—except rag-chewing by Congress. People who talk a lot never have time for much actual doing. To speed things up in Washington, It might be a good idea .to elect dumb men to Congress. What? Oh. not that kind of dumb.— Indianapolis Tunes. We talked for a halt hour last night with a well known Decatur man. veteran of the world war, who for n number of years was a soldier of fortune and visited every state in America but one and five foreign countries and who had his eyes open all the time. Do you know what he said? Well here's the answer: “1 have seen thousands of cities, big and little, good and bad. boomers and quiet villages and I am telling you in all sincerity that Decatur is the best town I know of anywhere. It's the right size, it has no rich or poor, it does things and it has the finest people you can find anywhere." He meant it and he is the kind of a booster every town needs. Wish we had five thousand like him and we have if you will just let go. The 1923 legislature is winding up today. Whether you like their work or not probably depends on whether von favor the things they did. We don't see how you can kick up your heels for joy over the two cents a gallon on gasoline, the increhsed automobile taxes, the general increase n everything, the expenditure of millions for a reformatory which will be finer than any home in Adams county, the hundred other things which bring about the great total of appropriations— but —perhaps there is some particular reason why you should be happy over it and if there is, we will try to smile and take it. j We know one thing and that is that

Mr. Braud's statement regarding the superiority of the Indiana highway law, which he urged adopted by Ohio and other states, was, made in form of an Interview, in which he declared the road system of the Buckeye state needed a change. According to this interview, Senator Brand has delved deeply into the highway situatiou and presented many interesting facts concerning the operation of present plans in some states. —ludiaua Commissioner. r iuim k wimb COBY RIGHT 1923 OY R C WRIGHT.
