Rumors multiply to the effect that a campaign is to be started —perhaps has been started —looking to the prohibition ot the manufacture and use, and, of course, the growth, of tobacco. Such a policy would fit in well with our presefit standardizing tendency. and regulatory methods. To some Americans it is painful and intolerable that men or communities should differ from one another, and so it is thought to be necessary to make them all alike, and to do it by statute or constitutional amendment. So it would not be surprising if there were an attempt to make the nation uniformly non-tobacco-using. Nothing more is necessary than to win a majority to that way of thinking. For it is an axiom in our political mathematics that whatever the majority de-' cides is right, and hence, of course, it is supreme over the life of the individual. and over his morals. Peter the Great, the student of history may recall, regulated the lives of: his subjects in much the same way. even going so far as to prescribe the lengj> of men's beards, imposing a graduated tax proportionate to their length. So our majority is being transformed into a sort of Peter, and whenever the Constitution interferes with the process the Constitution must be got out of the way by ‘amendment.” When we get—what we seem to be after —a thoroughly trained, trimmed, disciplined and regimented population, we shall need to give ourselves no further concern about the millennium, for we shall be living in it. Yet variety is no bad thing. It at least makes for joy and picturesqUeness—also the truest and firmest unity is that rooted in variety. In nonessentials liberty and in all things charity—this is an old rule, given by high authority. If tobacco were abolished there would be no smokers to whom the non-smokers could point as sinners. But doubtless there would be other sinners left, and other people to point at them—and reform them. Certain it is that we are rapidly and with a high degree of success building up a Petcrarchy in these states. But what, one wonders, is to become of the hard-pressed Nordics? —Indianapolis News. Adams county has a wonderful corn crop uud if the gamblers do not drive the prices down before it can bi- marketed the average farmer will bogin to get on his f—L Os course in this section most farmers feed the corn to tin pigs and market them, requiring several months aid some gamble on what the pric e of hogs will be in the middle of winter. Anyway the outlook is brighter than a year ago and that's something. It looks as though they—the politicians—are after Governor McCray and will get. him. The Chicago Tribune yesterday gave him a streamer nn the front page and almost all of the picture section. lie is being damned and cussed and abused by about everybody and of course.they have enough goods to make it more than inte reeling. The governor seems to have got in bad when be d- elured his trouble was due to the business slump following the new udmiuistrution at 4aIXXUjtCU.

The Yellow Jackets put up a game fight yesterday, tore through the lines of their heavier opponents almost at will, stopped them so Hwy made but one first down and that on a forwvgd pa s, fifteen seconds be- • fore the game finished. It was a thriller for those who like outdoor sports and it was typical of the game we play through life. There are 1 tumbles, and mistakes and gains and i I breaks of luck one way and another 1 and victory comes to those who plow I , on with a smile. That’s what the ' game teaches —take knocks, bump up against bigger follows, keep your eye on the ball and your courage up—and you win. Governor McCray borrowed money from 132 banks in Indiana, a feat he probably could not have accomplished outside his position as chief executive. Os these.banks ninety-five had state funds on deposit and in a dozen instances the amount* of state funds was identical with the amount borrowed from the state institution by the McCray corporation. It seems funny but as stated before, a lot of funny things have been going on in Indianapolis the past few years. A loaf of bread in Berlin today costs seventy-six million marks and other commodities are in proportion, which doesn't mean much to the average person here who long ago quit trying to figure out what a mark was worth but the statement that prices will double again in a few days shows the trend there and gives some * idea that conditions in Germany are very serious for the poor and middle class. There is one job the average person wouldn't care for—speaker of the house in the Oklahoma special session. One writer suggests that he use a machine gun instead of a gavel. o *♦♦♦«.♦♦♦♦♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ | TWfNTV YEARS AGO TODAY ♦ e.

Jones, of Winches-j ter, Ky., Has To Say About j ALLENRHU, the Sure Conqueror of Rheumatism. “For years I was a sufferer from the torture of rheumatism. My limbs (feet and hands) would swell to almost double their normal size. I suffered intense pain day and night so that I could hardly eat or sleep. I had very little hope of ever recovering from this most dreadful and painful disease. A friend of mine seeing how despondent I was over my hope-1 less condition advised me to try ALLENRHU. 1 went immediately to the George Drug Company in Wini cheater and got a bottle of the internal treatment and a bottle of the Liniment to use externally. For the. sake of other sufferers I wish to say that the results were simply marvelous. After beginning the combined treatment til's swelling began to reduce and the pain left me entirely. I continued the treatment until 1 had taken only two bottles which effected a complete cure. Today I positively feel better than ever before m my life. 1 feel that I am very fortunate in finding a remedy that has relieved me of the distress and the almost unbearable pains from which I suffered. For the past five weeks I have been working 12 hours a day and haven't even a symptom of rheumatism or ache or pain.” Signed, James C. Jones. ALLENRHU lias beer, tried aid tested for years, and really marvelous> results have been accomplished even in the most severe cases where the suffering and agony was intense and p'teous and where the patient was helpless.
