Taking advantage of his financial difficulties and some foolish turns made to get out of his dilema, the politicians are now ridding him to an ugly fall. Statistics show that last year we had one divorce for every five marriages recorded in Indiana. That’s startling. Os each five marriages one will be annulled in court. The laws may be loose but the main trouble lies with the parties to the contract. Think seriously, before you form the partnership and then Remain content. The Indiana republicans evidently need a Mark Hanna. Some years ago Governor William McKinley of Ohio went through a storm similar to that of Governor McCray. Along came Marcus who refinanced him, managed, him and in a few years made him president of the l nited States. The merchants will conduct a gilt day, similar to that ot' a few years ago. presenting to some person each month an automobile or something of value. It's the live business centers which do things and wherever you find activities you find the best merchants and tiie best places in which to trade. Decatur is moving along nicely. Our factories are operating full time and more, the sugar plant will start. their campaign in a few days, employ ing about three hundred people for a period, of a hundred days and expect to have the biggest output in the eleven years they have operated here. We need homes and we need co-operation which "ill make the town keep ou going. Let's put it over. We all want low taxes of course hut those who sign petitions for a

reduction of the rate should know exactly what they are doing. It costs iomethfng to operate the government if a city or county these days and to meet the demands of the public and when honest officers do their very best to secure a rate which is as low us possible It Is discouraging to have those efforts assailed. Its as serious to not have enough money to conduct the necessary business with as it is lo have too much. If you are really interested in road building you will enjoy the highway articles written by W. H. Blodgett and republished in this paper through the courtesy of the Indianapolis News. These stories give the exact status of the commission, the cost of building, the leaks, the opportunities for improved conditions and wiser road improvement and are written and published for the honest purpose of giving the people of Indiana the information to which they are entitled. You should know Just what is being done, why, how and when. You will if you read these very interesting stories now running in the Daily Democrat. We are in receipt of a circular | from our old friend, D. D. Wertzberg- ( er. a leading citizen of Tulsa, Okla-; homa, telling another side to the I story of life in that city. The dis- j patches from there during the past few weeks have led many to believe i that blood is running down the street gutters and that it's unsafe to walk the streets. This is all denied and it 1 is shown that schools, churches, coli leges and all other institutions are going ahead. A twenty story hotel , is now being erected in Tulsa, which i is a young man's town of progress: with 100,000 population, a seven mil- i lion dollar project to bring spring water from the Osark mountains, six- * ty miles away is on, the banks have $(11,000,000 and Dallas insists it s the finest place in all the world. About the worst thing in the present state ( difficulties is the reputation given Oklahoma by the press stories ami .

John Moorman, mauagor for MeCray has Issued a statement charging that the present difficulties brought about by the calling of the state central committee in a letter from State Chairman Walb charging Irregularities, was really in stigated by President Coolidgu and that Postmaster General New came to Indiana to personally direct the work of removing the governor. Exgovernor Goodrich replies with a denial and iu the meantime the grand jury is to meet Friday to take up the acts of the governor.
