Make your selectios early and get it oft your mind. We don't have any idea that Decatur is even being seriously considered for the location of the Yoeman home for children but we believe in fair play and we are sure the officials of the great brotherhood will be qble to clear themselves of the ugly charges made last week by disgrunted members. The sixty-eighth congress started off with a storm which thing but smooth sailing. The progressives blocked the republicans in selection of a speaker and the presilent cannot deliver his message until that branch of the government is organized. The progressives, headed by LaFollette have shown them they hold the balance of power and it seems more probable than ever that all we will get out of congress is a bunch of political propaganda. Only twice before in the history of this country has congress failed to elect a speaker of the House the first day the session. Back in 1859 the law makers battled nearly two months before they organized and in 1891 the house failed to elect a speaker until the second day.

jority party held the night before the convening and yesterday's row indicates thut no party holds control of congress. Whether that will work good or bad remains to be seeu. —i... j.... Good Fellows are only those who believe that every child should have a happy Christmas but who back that belief with a little money. The Delta Theta Tau sorority are again sponsoring such a movement and all you are asked to do is to place a small sum, whatever you feel you can afford, in one of the envelope boxes. The girls will do the rest and the poor children of this community will be assurred for visit from old Santa, which will make them happy over the glad season. a Good Fellow. William Simons, president of the

refund Sawyer Grain company of Chicago, testified yesterday that Governor McCray lost more than a hundred thousand dollars on the Chicago Board of Trade in yff23. That's where a lot of his money went, no doubt, a fine example for the biggest I office of the state to set for the young men of Indiana and yet he refuses to step down and out. And 5 that's only one of many wrongs he ts ■ charged with. More serious than any - thing else so far as the state is con- ■ cerned is the extravagant conduct of his office, the borrowing of the agricultural fund and the general conduct of public affairs in a manner similar to that of his private affairs. All politics aside the biggest thing the present session of congress <-an do is to adopt the World Court proposal. Either this nation must lead in an effort to stop wars or we will have another within a few years. That is not a guess, it's a sure thing for the world questions now in debate will force us in again. Do you want your son to go to war, do you want this country against burdened with taxes, do you want to read again of the horors of conflict? The present session of congress will be epoch making because they must decide one way or another. The proposal which was made Ay Mr.- Harding is now in the hands of the senate foreign relations committee, headed by Senator Lodge. They want to kill it for they are influenced by those who profit by wars. It is doubtful if Senator Watson will oppose that committee for he is a politician pure and simple. Write to Senator Samuel M. Ralston and urge him to assist in the fight to put the World Court movement over. Write to President Coolidge a,nd let him know the people favor, not entangling alliances, but co-operation that will prevent future wars. They have muddled you with politics but this is far more important that partisn office seekers would have you believe and you should show your hand. o BEG YOUR PARDON.

Poison Liquor Claims 800 Victims In Year (United Press Service) Philadelphia, Dec. 4—(Special to Daily Democrat) —More than 800 persons have been killed directly and indirectly by poison liquor since Jan. 1, 1923, according to Frank Paul, special investigator for the coroner’s office. “To say that 800 deaths have been caused so far this year poison liquor is putting it mildly,” Paul said today. “That many cases have come tn the attention of the coroner's office and we have no way of telling If You tel a medicine Yoh ShcuKHate the Best Have you ever stopped to reason why it is that so many products that are extensively advertised, all at once drop out of sight and are soon forgotten? The reason is plain —the article did not fulfill the promises of the manufacturer. This applies more particularly to a medicine. A medicinal preparation that hab real curative value almost sells itself, as like an endless chain system, the remedy is recommended by those who have been benefited, to those who are in <.eed of it. A prominent druggist says, “Take for example Dr. Kilmer’s SwampRoot, a preparation I have sold for many years and never hesitate to recommend, for in almost every case it shows excellent results, as many of my customers testify. No other kiddey remedy has so large a sale.” According to sworu statements and • verit-ed testimony of thousands who have used the preparation, the success of Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root is due to the fact, so many people claim, that it fulfills almost every wish in overcoming kidney, liver and bladder ailments, corrects urinary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid which causes rheumatism. You inay receive a sample bottle of Swamp-Root by Parcel Post. Address Dr. Kilmer 8c Co., Binghamton N. V., and enclose ten cents: also mention this paper.
