We all agree with Lloyd George in the expression, always a climax in his speeches in Ulis country: “As ' one who took part in that terrible business (war) I am here and I will continue, as long as my voice is left, to plead that there shall be no mon 1 wars.” And we all hope and plead with him. ______ i In Berlin yesterday a lunch with beer cost 2.540.000,000 marks which ' doesn’t signify anything but when you know that common laborers re- 1 ceive but ten billion marks a week ' and that with that great number of ' numerals he can buy but two loaves'' of bread you begin to realize the serious condlt'on of millions in Ger- 1 1 many. The soft pedal put on the affairs of Governor McCray while he was entertaining the governors from]’ thirty three states seems so pleasant ( ' that there is a tendency to let it, drift along which might result if it' were net for the fact that those who • lost their money are too mad to pay much attention to politics or any- j thing else but getting even. A meeting will be held December | 12th, 13th and 11th, somewhere unannounced so far and the purpose is to form a third political party with Henry Ford as the nominee for president. While Mr. Ford hasn't declared himself the fact that the call President” club is given considerconies from the Dearborn "Ford for able significance. Guess we will have to go through it.

Walton was suspended as governor of Oklahoma at 6.40 last evening the senate vote which turned the trick being thirty-six to ono and leaving no doubt as to the feeling of that body. The governor is; charged with many acts contrary to j law and. there seems to be athpU ' proof of incompetency and irregular ity. Ucutcuant Governor Trapp will. become governor and it is hoped' under the new regime, peace will reign and the great state will resume its place as one of the stars of the southwest. —■ ...

'outed go to the meeting at the Industt ial rooms tonight. Decatur wants the Pennsylvania field meet next September and wo ae sure shat thousands of people In this locality will support Mr. Kenworthy in his efforts to secure it for I us. It would boa wonderful day for I those who love outdoor athletics and it would mean much publicity for this city. It would attract thousands of railway men besides thousands of others who like baseball, tennis, truck meets, etc. It is seldom that so small a city has the opportunity to entertain u meeting of this kind but we are sure we can do it in such I a manner as to receive the commcn- ' dations from those in charge. We are sure of one thing—that every one who comes here will realize that the welcome extended is sincere and genuine. We hope the officials in charge will decide on Decatur and that we will have the privilege of making good. The Pennsylvania railroad during the months of June, July and August checked 242,142 automobile drivers at selected railway crossings in each of the thirteen states through which thu railroad operates to. determine the extent and character of earlessness in driving motor cars over the I tracks. The average percentage of carelessness was 3.12% so that ninety-seven percent of drivers show reasonable care. The forms of carelessness include: failure to look for trains; d ; sregarding signals; driving under pates wh’le being lowered; rot having car under control; stopping on tracks; racing; defective brakes. Excessive speed is the most common form of carelessness and even in states where the law commands that every automobile stop before crossing railway tracks the; law is disregarded in many instances. I Greater care means fewer accidents | tnd the railroads should have the co-. operation of the people in their earnest efforts to prevent accidents as; much as possible. ♦ ♦ ♦ * *♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦<• •& TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY * 4> * p P'-om the Daily Democrat ffles ♦ ♦ 20 years ago this day <’ +*4‘+++++ + 4 + + * + October 24. —Miss Grace Suttles re turned from Boulder.

Oct. 24.—Attendance recI ords for early season football games | established last Saturday when five big games on the schedule averaged almost 10.000 spectators each. This is a manifestation of unusual interest in the popular college game for such early season games and it is due to the fact that games which in the past have been reserved for November features of the schedule are being billed earlier.
