The folk'; of this community arc invited to the Industrial rooms next Tuesday evening, December 4th. to talk over the advisability of building and maintaining in the proper way, a tourists camp. Won’t you come? The Loyal Order of Moose, four hundred strong, will conduct another big class initiation here Friday evening of this week at which time a number of officials including the national secretary will inspect the local order. The lodge is growing rapidly and during the next year will stop out as one of the organizations of Adams county which does things. The state is borrowing $750,000 more to tide over. That's the favorite indoor sport of the administration just now but it seems the end is near. They have a little hill of two and a half million dollars due December 31st and can't pay it and according to law can’t carry it over and the finance board is having extra sessions every day trying to figure out just how the thing can be legally ''kited.” Pay day always comes around and even a state can spend more money than can be raised legitimately. It looks like Indiana has. Thanksgiving Day is near. In the old days the Pilgrim Fathers with the mothers, wives, sons and daughters met and fervently thanked God for taking care of them during the year, for providing food, for protecting them from the Indians and for many other things. We have just as much and more to he thankful for hut in the rush of things we forget it. The ministers are this year trying to bring us back to the old-fashioned idea and we ought to help them do it. Plan to join in the Union services Thursday morning and make it the BIGGEST EVER. Being o« trunk highways helps any town but it helps most those cities which make an effort to please the tourists. A camp properly installed and maintained will do much to get hundreds to stop here next year. Decatur is on the Cincinnati to Mackinaw route north and south and on the Harding Highway oast and west. If we make the effort we can make this a popular stopping place and derive a great benefit as well as much pleasure. O. L. Vance will be in charge of a meeting at Industrial rooms next Tuesday evening, December 4th. when this important question will he discussed. Hope you attend. Irvin S. Cobb attempts to show, in Hearst’s International for December, why a Hoosier tsands out conspicuously in contrast with the Buckeyes of Ohio on the east and the Suckers of Illinois on the west. Summing up. Cobb is convinced that the settlement of Indiana is responsible for the state's citizens being a sort of distinct race. Part of the early settlement came from the east and part of it came up from the south. The result, to Cobb's mind, makes Indiana more typically American than any other state. One reason assigned for the peculiar quality found in Indiana is the absence of great < ities. Indianapolis does not dominate Indiana, he says. On the contrary. Indiana dominates Indianapolis. By comparison Indianapolis is held to be not so clamorous as Chicago, nor so homely as Cincinnati, nor so characterless as Cleveland. There is not the lack of manners to be found in Jersey City, the dirt to be seen in Pittsburgh or the foreign element such as characterizes Milwaukee. Indianapolis is .not so smug as Philadelphia, so densely packed as New York, so unkempt as St. Louis or so aimlessly excited as Los Angeles. Whatever happens. Cobb has decided, Indianapolis will go right on being dominated by Indiana, will keep right on being a somewhat blurry, but ’nevertheless authentic mirror of HoOsierdom at large. Speaking of ndiana s great, past and present. Cobb says that he dares maintain that Indiana has brought to potency and ripeness the best exemplars, the most est craftsmen of serious American letters and humorous American portraiture in printed line, and the drawn as well, that the nation now has among its peopie and that Indiana has produced a larger number of conspicuously prominent and generally acknowledged leaders than any other state among he fortv-eight. He nominates tor the head of this ticket five men. four living and'one dead. They are James Whitcomb Riley. Ade Kin Hubbard and John T. McCutcheon, with a kindly word for Le wXe. Char.es Major, Meredith Nicholson, George Barr McCutcheon and others.— Indianapolis News.

Coolidge. By FRASER EDWARDS United Press Staff Correspondent. Washington, Nov. 27. —Immigration, with its vital economic, political and patriotic significance, today holds a keen interest for President Coolidge. That he will deal with the problem in his message to congress is unquestioned by administration officials. Congressional lenders, however, have let it be known that they expect to have time to do little more with the immigrat’on question beyond re-enacting the present three per cent law, which expires on June 30. next. Whether congress can pass lightly over the immigration question depends upon the success of the influence now at work to force action. I cd by the American Federation of Labor powerful organizations are already at work on a campaign to compel congress to tighten the immigration restrictions. Immigration Legislation Demanded. Beside the American Federation of Labor, the American Legion, the National Grange an tithe Native Sons of the Golden West, are demanding immigration legislation that will provide for: 1. Fixing the census of IX9O, instead of 1910. as a quota basis, to shut out undesirable aliens from the Balkans asd the Mediterranean, in re-en-acting the three per cent law. 2. Exclusion of all aliens, ineligible to citizenship. 3. Selective immigration by inspection abroad and enrollment of aliens after thev land. 4. Amendment to the seamen’s law to stop the bootlegging of aliens, par-tb-ulnrly oriental*.— Secretary Davis has urged on President Coolidge the importance of congress re-onacting an “alien code” dealing with the relations between this government and all aliens on outshores. Wh’le congressional leaders concede the importance of such a code to end the present conflicts, of law, they say it cannot be done at the present session of congress. Would Bar All Japanese. A conference of western senators and congressmen will soon meet here to draft legislation to bar till Japanese. Senator Shortridge of California, who is at the forefront of the movement, says there is no treaty to bar sinh an act. The labor department is in sympathy with the move. Whether President Coolidge makes a recommendation for Secretatry Davis' plan for “selective immigration" by inspection abroad, the secretary of labor is certain to make a personal fight for it, as well as the enrollment of aliens after they land. Davis has set his heart on the law and is sa f d to be determined to see it througth, despite any political inexpediency that it may involve. “Bootlegging of aliens is one of the evils that the department of labor at least will demand congress take steps to end. One of the gaps that must be slopped is in the seamen's law, according to officials. Under the guise of the law, which permits seamen to come ashore to re-ship. Chinese coolies are slipped in. Owing to the shorting of common labor, large industrialists are expected to resist the drastic immigration laws. The administration believes, however, that it is a short sighted policy to seek cheap labor through immigration. The labor department is opposed to admission of unnaturalizable labor which will come into competition with American labor. s—s—s—WANT ADS EARN—s—s—s ft—X—I—WANT ADS EARN—S WELCOME MOOSE Wednesday Evening Regular Meeting MOOSE HOME Third Street.
