New York City N. Y. Life Bldg, Kansas City, Mo. The federal grand jury has indicted over a hundred Ft. Wayne men for violations of the liquor laws, bran ing all records for one city. It might have been greater. Governor Walton has been engaged for a lecture tour after he is ousted from office and his salary it is announced will be $3,000 a week. With that kind of a contract, who would want to be governor at a salary of $5,000 a year? We appreciate the attitude taken by the business men of Decatur in opposing the trading stamp proposition. It’s not the kind of advertising which pays and it's only a trouble maker. We believe you arc wise in stamping it out before it starts. Prohibition officials are making headway. According to R. C. Minton, assistant director of Indiana “Muncie police are c onscientously de|ng the best they can to enforce the prohibition laws.” When you can't get a drink in Muncie. Terre Haute or Pittsburg, you know the law yfcp'k ing. Fronkfort, Indiana, has a Sunday picture show war on and yesterday lived through tjie second Sunday under “blue” laws, everything being closed tight except hotels and restaurants. One merchant left a gum vending machine in front of his store and was arrested and that's enforcing law to the very limit. Among the assets listed by Governor McCray was stock in a stone quarry which has been furnishing a large part of the material for the state highway commission at a fancy price. When it was discovered he declared he had sold the stock. Then why was it listed? The difficulties of the governor become more complex as the investigations go on. By the way, whatever became of the campaign to chan the river banks? We were assured several months ago that this was to lie done at once but it hasn't happened and it won't until someone really gets busy. Talk is cheap and we are better without it unless we actually follow up the talk and the enthusiasm by accomplishing things. William G. McAdoo is a candidate for President and is in Washington conferring with those who will manage his campaign. There are a dozen others mentioned including Senator Ralston and it will probably be the field against McAdoo. Tho people will await with much interest the pule lie utterances of Mr. McAdoo giving some idea of his position on many public questions. He served as secretary of the treasury under President Wilson. There is an old brick street in Ft Wayne which was covered with as phalt this year and 'converted int< one of the best pavements of tha city. It was done too at a compare -lively low cost. Why wouldn't it bi a spieudid thing if we could do tha with our main street from the ok

mill in the north part of the town to the south corporation line? We would only have to build new front the Clover la?af south, a few blocks and we would have a real street. r What will Decatur do tn 1921? It’s r - nearly here and it’s time we quit talking and actually do some business. We are right now at the point where we will go forward or settle back In the old rut. We havn't really done 8 anything worth while in the way of g securing Industries or building the s town for aeveral years and we need 0 to stir ourselves in such a manner as 5 to create a growth of the city. We ® don't want a lot of talk and then be ) I satisfied with that . We should map . out a real program and then carry it out. The people of Allen county are to be congratulated upon Sam Jackson’s appolntmeuta of assistants in the office of prosecutin-; attorney. Mr. R. C. Parrish, an Indiana University man. had exceptional training for the position while serving for four years as prosecuting attorney of Adams coun- . ty. Byron Hayes, a Notre Dame man. has also had experience while acting as a deputy under Frank Emrtvk. Both are clean-cut, up-standing, and able young lawyers, like their chief. Mr. Jackson has shown commendable judgment in surrounding himself with assistants in whose character and capacity the community has the utmost faith. —Ft. Wayne Journal-Gazette. THE LARGER MOOD. Give me the grace, to take the place Os the folk I want to condemn. To think how I'd feel if the iron heel Os hate ground me as them. Let me not judge, nor nurse a grudge But do the bigger thing. Truly forgive and so kindly live That the sobbing lips may sing. q — T , Four Killed When Auto Is Struck By Pennsy. (t'nlted Press Staff CorresponilenD Indianapolis, Nov. !i—(Special to Daily Democrat)—Four persons were Instantly killed and another was struck by a fast Pennsylvania passenger train at Bridgeport, west of here, last night. Roy Buchanan, of Anderson. Ind. driver of the death car and “the only one of the occupants to escape death, was brought to a hospital here in a , serious condition.

Keck, ninth huer 1 band, said. Keck, who is 38, was granted a ' divorce by Judge Milroy here, >. "I did not know my wife had ever p been married before," Keck, said, 'but when I went to Fort Wayne after her, following her desertion of inc in Toledo a year ago, husbands it began bobbing up. “With little difficulty I located six of them and we agreed on the parly, t Where the other two have gone I don’t know.” Witnesses said that Mrs. Keck had Lo threatened to cut out her husband's •t heart ami that she called him vile a- names. io ° Helerf Gass returned from a two J t ’ weeks' vacation this morning with 1,1 relatives at Indianapolis.

Kirkland High School Defeated Chester Center The Kirkland high school first and second teams got lost on their way to Chester Center Friday evening and did not arrive at their destination until nine o'clock. The Kirkland boys were not lost, however, when they got on the floor, for they proceeded immediately to take both games by wide - margins. The first team defeated the Chester five by the score of 20 to 3. and the second team piled up a 40 to 1 count. The only field goal registered by Chester Center was dropped through the ring in the first team game by Karns. The games were refereed by Principal H. A. Stech of Liberty Center. ;—• — Ingram Demonstrates How It Is To Be Done Bloomington, Nov. 5. —W. A. (Navy Bill I Ingram, Indiana university's new football coach, has a tellihg way o! teaching his Crimsoa proteges the in I ner workings of the autumn spor ; Ingram believes that a football team > especially an inexperienced one like Indiana's, needs more than verbal in struction. Consequently, he demon j strates his teachings by actually jnr i ticipating in all of the drills he puts jhis men through. Ih addition to en

tering scrimmages, he kicks, passes, runs back punts ,and tackles with his backfield men. Not many years ago, while playing quarterback for the Navy, Ingram was regarded as one of the leading backfield men of the country. In h’s three years at Annapolis, “Navy Bill" was valuable as a point scorer and in 1917 he topped all individual scorers in the country. <—>—s—WANT APS EARN—I $
