It is announced by those who have kept a diary ot automobile accidents that seventy-five per cent of those cars which land in the ditch contain "hootch". About ninety-nine per cent of the rest of such accidents occur when a young man is driving with one hand while his best girl huddles near. Bad mixtures with gasoline. President Coolidge is shaking hands with a thousand or two people a day.j sure sign he is a candidate for next year. With business of the nation j pressing him he should give that time j either to looking after it or taking | care of himself and the people should. give him the chance. The presidency is not a society job. Hiram Johnson is evidently again becoming a rip-roarin' progressive and is sorry he ever backed up an inch. He finds he can't get along with the standpatters and will step out on his campaign for the presidency as an antagonist to the Watson-Lodge-Cool-idge crowd. He is not such a fool at that. The government will not build postoffice buildings except where they are really necessary which menas there will be nothing doing in Decatur for in this clfy as in thousands of otjiers where they have them, the mails can be handled in present quarters as well as in a hundred thousand dollar building. It takes political pull any time to get a federal building.

A Coolidge club is being organized in Maine by those who say they have the right man in the White House und wish to keep him there. At the same time one Mr. Johnson of California issues a challenge to all competitors. Now if Mr. Lowdon and Mr. Watson and a few others of the middle west will say something the fight will he on. And it promises to be more interesting than the DcmpseyFirpo discussion. The fellow who thinks he can get along without advertising is “kidding" himself and no one else. No business man, big or little, ever put it over worth a cent without telling the people what he had to sell and why the other fellow ought to buy. Try it a month one way and then a month the other and see the only sensible way is to Use the newspaper as your medium. Its the cheapest and best known j means of sending your message to the people.

A low bruw who conducts a show house of some kind at Cleveland has offered Marie I’rljc the unfortunate and wild Fort Wayne girl who lived with John Whltfeld, murderer, and raced with him against the police' across live slates, a place on the' i stage at SIOO a week. A lot of people, who have a taste for the morbid! would no doubt pay a fee to see this' silly girl and she perhaps cannot lie j blamed for taking the money, hul what kind of n hog is the man whoj I bus display her for a profit? It should not he permitted even in 1 Cleveland. Thu soft coal miners signify (heir intentions of standing hack of the' anthracite miners which means thut they may also conclude to strike i

Just at this timo you cun get plenty of soft coal and at a very reasonable price considering the high freight rate. The wise ones will fill their bins . for there is greut danger that within ’• a few weeks the price will not only be higher, but if the mines close for a '> few weeks coal will be scarce and its surprising how soon that happens ( whon the coal mines .quit. Tills is a I good time to buy coal and get your [ fuel ready for winter. It will be here l in a few weeks. Don't you see that Decatur is about up to her limit unless we build more houses? If you will start out to hunt for a place to live you will find It quite some Job. That’s serious. If we have a chance to land a good industry the next few months tile fact that we couldn't take care of a halfdozen families or more would prevent us landing it. Every citizen should he interested in this. Suppose we could build a hundred houses here, what would the benefits bo? It would mean n increased population of five hundred it would mean the expenditure of two or three hundred houses, it would mean many men employed at good wages, it would mean a continued bigger pay roll in Decatur, it would '

mean more business for every merchant and it would mean more happy people here. There are many other reasons why wo ought to quit joking I about it and get down to “brass tacks." but that's enough for any reasonable person. e . Blessing Resigns Job On Service Commission (United Press Service) Indianapolis, Aug. 24—(Special to Daily Democrat) —The resignation of Edgar Blessing as a member of the' Indiana Public Service Commission was received at the office of Governor McCray today. Blessing who is at present on a vacation in Colorado also acquainted the governor of his acceptance of the position of solicitor for the postodice department at Washington. The new position will pay Blessing $5,000 a year; His job with the public service commission pays $6,000. o Leviathan Beats Olympic Southhampton, England, Aug. 24.— The Leviathan won her unofficial trans-Atlantic race from the White Star liner Olympic today. The big United States ship docked here at 1:55 p.rn., while the Olympic still was at sea. Both vessels sailed from New York Saturday morning. Physician Advises People “My wife suffered for years with stomach trouble which did not yield to any treatment. She took a dose of Mayr's Wonderful Remedy last Saturday with wonderful results I have practiced medicine for 20 years and have never seen anything like it before. I have recommended Mayr's Wonderful Remedy to several that 1 know need this treatment.” It removes the catarrhal mucus from the intestinal tract ajid allays the inflammation which causes practically all stomach, liver and intestinal ailments, including appendicitis.
