The world series over or about so. let's get down to the real business of making a living. It's almost time to think about your Christmas shopping. The Goshen News-Times, a leading republican paper in Elkhart county. I admits the democrats could at least have "done no worse.” That's something. Four big circuses in this country

made, a net profit this year of over five million dollars, it is said. We coinplain about the times but we will spend our money to .see the clowns and the trained elephants and the monkeys and smell the saw dust. It developes that among the other funds used by Governor McCray for his private.needs was one for $2.50'1 given by W3l Hays for the republican committee. Now- surely they're not going into that. It may be discovered that a number of contributions to the committee never reached the goal. Alter disposing of the question of rompers the department of agriculture at Washington has worked out another great problem, announcing a few days ago—“ The mule will not be pulled. He will usually follow quietly. however, if a man will walk away in the direction he desires to go, the mule will follow usually,'' There you have it. New quit complaining about the cost of that department. There can no longer be any doubt the administration is trying to help the farmer. Seriously why is the department? Bob Bracken, democratic state treasurer has been mandated by the courts to pay over to the general fund, $1,500,000 raised for highway purposes. Mr. Bracken rightfully refused to do this unless so ordered by the court. The money belongs to the highway fund and was raised In taxes for that purpose. Now they want to

spend it for general purposes. Bob is right. He is trying to protect Ute people’s money but he is having a hard time under present circumstances. You will ba surprised when you hear the truth of things from India nspolis, no difference much how bad you think it is. Until a few- weeks ago Governor McCray was president of the Discount and Deposit State Dank nt Kentland, Indiana. When tho crush came he resigned and it was discovered that the bank had been carrying as muih a3 $300,000 state funds kith a capitol of 525,600. Some Os this was withdrawn when 1 friends camo to the rescue but there was a balance of $150,000. Saturday a warrant for *1,0,000 was drawn against this and the hank after paying that sum was forced to close, its doors. The state still has $90,000 due and the people of Kentland ami vicinity have s.nvjwal hundred thousand duo them. It looks like a first class case of ‘'rimming.” Several of the leading republican Eewspapcre of Indiana have ttpuied on Governor McCray and aTb. no* raying tip- meanest kind of thing;, about him. The rejubliran leader*

'have also deserted him aud he Is in for a tough time for there seems tc be little question that there is at least sufficient eMdence to convince most people that he was ••slippery" . if nothing else. Its funny how your ’• friends desert you, once you start '• slipping. Just a few years ago when the governor was supposed to be r worth two or three million dollars and had plenty of credit, how many boosters he had and to what lengths 8 they went to prove him great. The ’ same papers which are now calling I Mr. McCray about every thing they ) can think of were strong boosters for > him during the election period of 1 1920, we remember. 'Sfunqy. 1 ' Jesse A. Greene, for nearly twenty years editor of the Fort Wayne News and the News-Sentinel and a recognized leader and adviser in local and state republican politics, died at his home at Fort Wayne Saturday night. For a year or two past he has been in ill health and his decline has been steady. He was a powerful writer of vvtrolic style and was recognized because of his wonderful use of English and his ability to use pungent words and sentences in a most effective manner. Mr. Greene was a .native of Crawfordsville, a graduate of Wabash college and had worked lon papers at Crawfordsville and Terre Haute befA-e coining to Fort Wayne. He was aggressive iu busi-; ness. politics and his editorial policy. and his papers always displayed that. trait.

r o Indiana Upsets Dope and 1 Wins From Northwestern s - 3 (United Tress Service) Chicago, Oct. 15 —(Special to Daily Democrat) — Most of the predicted r winners in western conference football .were forced to the limit to win from their opponents Saturday while ' Northwestern fell before Indiana in ■ the first upset of the season. Ohio State's great rally to tie Colgate. 23 to 23. in the final period was i the feature of the day. Forward] passes of the type made by State ] t.ams in the past, drove two touchdowns across for the Wilcemen. Indiana, thought to be only a weak I opponent, braced and won from Northwestern. 7 to 6. The Evanston t team lost many chances to score in the last half, however, through fail--1 ure to make drop kicks from the 15 ' yard line. lowa barely won from Purdue, 7 to , 0, after the Boilermakers had outplayed them for three quarters. Purdue showed unexpected strength and may defeat some of the conference leaders before the season ends. Michigan found the Vanderbilt line t too strong for them and were only ■ able to score a 3 to 0 win over the strong southern eleven. Illinois made a desperate stand in ' the last quarter and won from ButB ler, 21 to 7, though brilliant runs by Grange. Illinois back. a Minnesota’s defense again failed to ' stop its opponents’ attack and only y inability of the Haskell Indians to .. kick goals allow ed Minnesota to win. . 13 to 12. Wisconsin alone had clear sailing' 3 and was never threatened in defeat--5 ing the Michigan Aggies, 21 to 0. The 3 Badger offense worked smoothly.

The Fourth Down By Will e Punt Now .that the teachers have had their meeting, the Huntington game has been sufficiently replayed, and the week-end football scores have been duly discussed, the Yellow Jackets will proceed to map out their plan of attack on the city of bridges a week from next Saturday, where they expect to pluck eleven nice big ripe Loganberries. Mr. Leadpencil, of Wabash, is really beginning to think that the Decatur team is “the cat's whiskers.” Listen to this which he said Saturday: "Decatur high school showed its speed yesterday when its football team defeated the Huntington crew. It must have been a great game.” Another accident happened over at Wabash Saturday. Goshen, 19, Wabash, 6. Don't feel badly, though Leady, old boy, because Goshen is a formidable opponent for any man's team this season. Ross J. Hurd, who writes under the head. “Sport Hot Shots” in the Huntington Press, says: "Manijal of Indianapolis, downed Peru, the champions of the Northern Indiana Football association, 32 to 0 Friday, Huntington will meet Peru a week from Saturday, at Peru.” Since the Yellow Jackets defeated Huntington, Ross has awarded the championship of the conference to Peru. Well, we’re going to play it out anyway, and if Peru does win, we'll die fighting. Hats off to Columbia City. After taking several merciless kicks in their first games, they came back with a wallop which caused Auburn to take the count. 20-0 Saturday. Portland continued its winning streak Saturday, by downing Richmond, 13-7. After being beaten by Goshen a week ago, Warsaw came back Saturday and licked Elkhart, 13-0. As predicted. Ft. Wayne Central took a terrible beating at Gary Saturday, 45-0. South Side defeated Kendallville, 40-0 and C. C. H. S. downed Toledo High, 25-6. Aud 1. U. defeated Northwestern. 7-6. Indiana has a “lightin' gang” according to all reports. Five of the Crimson clad warriors were playing their first conference game Saturday. A bright future. Purdue made a fine showing in holding lowa, 7-0, and Notre Dame pulled a surprise by handing the Army a 13-0 defeat, o Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Schumacher, of Geneva, were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Ray McCollum, over the week end.
