Never so many kinds of jack-o'-lanterns popping up before the windows. Hallowe'en, like a lot of other things, is just what your imagination makes ft and that is why this is such a special one. Everybody's imagination is busy, conjuring up hobgoblins. The political pumpkins are ripe, they come in all shapes. In the house of the progressive Republicans the folks are most afraid of a big round California pumpkin, adorned with thick glasses. They fear he may be found leading the party parade a year from November, though they're positive ho is pumpkin clear through. Over where the reactionary Republicans live, they see a long, lean face with a wildly waving mustache, a Pennsylvania hobgoblin, who eats little reactionaries, so it has been told and they're inclined to draw down the blind and shut out the sight. Sinister in its silence, there's another political pumpkin giving folks a deep and protracted chill. The fros" seems to be on this one, a heavy New England frost. Possibly picked before it was ripe, it is without features qnd frightens by its very vagueness. In the Democratic house across the street, they are seeing quite a different set of faces. A political pumpkin from the South, thoy see. Folks tel’ how it means four years' bad luck and they find no reassurance in its bland Alabama smile. • Then there's the son-in-law face that looks straight down upon the reactionary Democrats, leaving them paralyzed. And an angry-visaged Ohio pumpkin with an editor's pencil fastened above its ear. It is worrying all the, Democrats who fear to race a losing horse twice. Likewise a Hoosier pumpkin, large, round and comfortable, and looking likely to roll off in any direction. But the real terror of the night is yet to be told. It is a marvelous mechanical combination of jack-o'-lan-tern, tick-tack aud that tin-can thing. Well, this blamed machine has been rattling up to the windows of the good party boys on both sides of the street. It seems to be everywhere at once. At lot of the lads are afraid to step out of doors and their mothers make them be good by telling them Henry'll get ’em if they don't watch out.—lndianapolis Times. Considered as a Republican candidate there will be great interest in Mayor Shank s declaration that he will not run'on the record of tho Republican party in Indiana during the last few years. "In fact,” he said, "Jhcre isn't any Republican who can stand on the record of tho Republican state administration for the last four years, and by gully d'm not going to do it."' Such frankness iu as conjmemlable as the truth of Ute statement is apparent. Here is the shot at Ed Jackson, secretary of slate: "There is one thing certain, if 1 can't skin Ed Jackton I'm to n'j buck aud

on East Washington street. It that Boilings business don't put him out, by golly he can’t be put out and I guess he can go and be Governor If he wants to." Indianapolis News. It was the late great Charles P. ' Steinmetz who said that in the not r very distant future, electricity and its powers will Im> so developed that a four-hour work day will be nil that is required to keep things moving. ’ The four-hour work day may be all- ( right but Steinmetz and Edison are I credited with putting in about five 1 times that much out of each twenty- ' four hours. When it comes, things may be different but we doubt it and too much idleness is bad for individuals and for government. The thing can be overdone either way. Secretary Mellon has tired of Governor Pinchot's thrusts and in a letter to the "Gov” yesterday tells him in well selected language to devote more time to inquiries of conditions in his own state ami less to charging things against the governments enforcement of the prohibition laws, which charges he declares are "gratuitous and not founded in fact." In othr words gays Mellon to Pinchot, stick to the truth. Tomorrow night is Hallowe'en and the ghosts will walk and the youth will play pranks and there will be i gay parties and if you are good the goblins won't get you but remember that vandalism will not be permit- ' ted and those who destroy property ] will subject themselves to arrest. , It is claimed by the statistic hounds i that one person out of every thirteen 1 adults in this country holds an officc. Now you know why it costs a ( lot of money- to run the government. j don't you? And there are a lot of us i woo haven't held ours yet. 1 — Ford for president and Shank to ' governor and then let 'er go on high ( that we may'see just how long this , country will run itself. FIVE SITES ARE STILL IN MCE Not Known Whether Or Not Decatur Is Still Considered By Yoe men. According to the Wichita Beacon, of October 24th. Rochester, Minn., has been eliminated from tho race for the location of the Yeomen’s national home for children. leaving five cities still in the race. Among these are said to be Wichita, Peoria and St. Louis. It is taken as a matter of course that Des Moines is also in the contest and the fifth city has not been given. Decatur has never been notified since the list of twenty-seven was established and it is not known definitely whether this location has been dropped or not. No city in America showed a better attitude towards those principles said to be the greatest asset for the home than Decatur, and with a splendid site, we still insist they, could do much worse. — • FORMER PRIME (Continued from Pag£_One) later, and Bonar Law's im: tediub chief, broke down as hs tried to reaMr. Law's letter of resignation to th house of commons. lie was unable to speak for weeping.

t was loved by those cloze to him aud famous to the wider circle of the naI tion. Having opposed Irish home rule in 1913 In a bitter fight that came ’ doser than anything since Cromwell's day to shaking the foundations e. England, he nevertheless realized l-t . 1922 that the only possible solution for Ireland wait an infinitely larger measure of independence than that which he had opposed. He frankly told his friends and the British public ao. Some of his old friends were hurt, but his mind was made up on an clear view of the necessity of the situation and he lent his support to the treaty. Returns To Office In 1922 He came back into office in 1922 in no gust of ambition but rather In an almost oppressive sense of duty, it was toward the close of tho adventure at Chanak, where British troops were massed to make a stand it necessary against the riding Turks who, under Mustapha Kemal and the young bloods of the race, were swi epin.; back into Europe. IJoyd George through the colonial secretary, Winston Churchill, had dramatically appealed to the British dominions to send meu to pr>> tect the Dardanelles, in the campaign to open which so many of their meu had died during the war. The an peal was presented by many in Eng-! 'and as well as in the dominions. The failure of the campaign against the Turks, in which the Lloyd George cabinet was accused of secretly bucking the Greeks by furnishing them with arms and ammunition, led to strong criticism. The props at 1 >st were coming out from under Lloyd George. Many conservatives, who fornu'd the major party in the house of commons and the chief element in the Lloyd George coalition, had been restive under the negotiations with Ireland and for months had been casting about for a leader around whom they could unite to remove the liberrl premier from their head. Bonar Uw at first was hardly men. tioned. But he was a quiet force. Lord Beaverbrook, controller of the! Daily Express, a Canadian who had come to be one of the dominant po litical wire pullers of Great Britain, a great friend and tremendous •Imirer of Bonar Law. He found that Poner Law would consent to h*a4 a cabinet. Bonar Law bad recuperat ad since his resignation, though be was still far from vyell. So early in October. 1922 the Ll<»d George party began to crumble. Many of the small leaders in the airty who played their part in supportng the conservative bisrarebv. resigned, taking away the followers each commanded. Another Martyr to Office Paris. Oct. 30—(Special to Daily Democrat) —Andrew Bonar Law died another martyr to the terrific responsibilities of office, in the opinion of his friends here. The heavy strain of the decision to finally rupture the war entente probably contributed more than any oth<>r thing to bring about his breakdown. The mental strain of taking a decision that might change the fate of Europe and the British empire left Bonar Law a broken man. When Bonar Law left the conference room where he virtually ended the war-time entente of France and Egypt he was scarcely able to walk, his face was drawn and haggard and bis lips and hands trembled. 0_ V ' •Hoppe Wins First Match I New York.
