would be worse. Anyway we Would know whut we were talking about When we "cussed" the girl at central ■i lu yww lu Georgia Ohio ami Oklahoma riots are occurring and civil war is imminent as the result of midnight flogging of citizens. It's a disgrace to our fair country that organizations are made to take tile law from the courts and It can only result in trouble. Midnight trials with mysterious stage settings are not designed to give fair trial and no one should be convicted or punished without the right of defense. That's a fundamental principal of our constitution mid should be upheld. If the charges made against Slemp, the new secretary to President Ciadidge are true we doubt if his appointment will tend to help the new executive secure the co-operation of all the people of the nation. Millions are sick and tired of the continued political game played in Washington ami they want relief front many things which have become burdenI some. The new president indicates by his first appointment that he will I engage in old fashioned patronage | and politics for Slemp was the king of Hie southern republicans while in I congress. There will be some stormy l .days between now and the republican convention and then some more be- ( tween that day and the election. It's time this community gets busy on the house building question and on sceuring another industry or two. Evidently the Yeomen will continue , the hunt for a location indefinitely and we need something to stir us up end put us all on our toes. A man called at this office this morning and told ns he had searched the city i street by street for a house to rent , and had found none. That's serious : and some action for building fifty or- ■| a hundred houses should be taken at- ! once. Why wait until spring? The 1 ■condition to warrant it is here now. i and we should get to work on it.' I There is not much use trying to get. ’‘tjther industries until this matter isj taken care of for we wouldn't get any! place. We believe the thing to do right now is to get back of a housing proposition and put it over. What

do you tbibk? If-*-■»<* *S The Hoosier Atgte Auto Assoclalion la boosning the idea of having locomotives on tbs various railroads begin whistling at the post and continue by repeating the warning until the locomotive Is actually upou the crossing with the hope that this continued screeching will save lives. Recently the number of crossing accidents have Increased and the association has tried various methods to help. They have marked the roads so plainly that it is a wonder auy driver approaches a crossing without control of his ear but they do and so they have decided to try to get the railroad engineers to do more "tooting.” While It may accomplish the purpose it is probable there will be much complant from the thousands who reside near the railroads and who will thus be disturbed day and night by the constant whistling of trains. We fear also it may cause some motorists to be a little -more careless than otherwise and *e believe the best results will be obtained in the long run by continuing warnings to them to drive carefully. a *********«*♦♦♦« ♦ TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ From the Daily Democrat filet • ♦ 20 years ago thia day ♦ ******* ♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦ ♦ August. 20.—Herman Yager is enjoying a vacation at Rome City.
