Hear Earl Crawford on the most absorbing question of today—ROADS —at the < ourt room Thursday afternoon at two o’clock. It’s a cold day when they are not Impeaching the mayor of Muncie. It's on again and the usual mix-up which keeps that city on the front page of many newspapers is attracting attention. It's a bad reputation. It is suggested that If the democrats continue to throw their hats in the political ring, they will soon need a < be* k boy to take care of the sky pieces to assure that each gets hi* own returned In good order. With the bonus, the taxes, the booze question, the sparring for advantage* political, the answer is sent back they, have not time to fool around with a little thing like the League of Nations, i Rut if a million or two from home j petition* them they may change their minds. The most important thing to be done in the world is to styp war and arrange a foreign market. Ot cotirs* they haven't time for that. Yon are funny if you are not intar-' estetl in bi tter roads for whether the proposed highways run past your farm or hunie, it 111**1111# much to you., for every mile of slate road is a mile from the upkeep of this county ami leaves that much more for another road Good towns and good coun ties are getting bard airfare roads uud we waul th* ni for old Adams. Come to the meeting. ——■' - ■ —

Various local lodges and organizations arc making plans for the next few months, including a number of amusement and social events. That's fine, but we insist that the greatest « thing that any of them can do is to plan a program for the general good of the. community. We have a score f or organizations in Decatur which could do things if they would. What if each attempted and accomplished ( Just one thing? It would make u con- ! sideruble difference in the community I In a short time. I tl"! ' We doubt It it has ever been necI I essary to take one eighth of the earn- ' Ings of a small corporation and a large part of the earning of every individual to maintain the government and meet interest of war debts. Os course the tax law should be revised so that people can ut least make a living and save a few dollars for the rainy clays. If congress under any excuse fails lo i do this, they will not be forgiven and the next election will show the mind of the voters in a decisive manner.

I That's not a guess, not a political pre- '! diction, just a plain statement of cold ’ facts. . --- ’"~* How about your subscription to the Daily Democrat? We want you all r to renew and to receive one of the Eversharp pencils which we are giv- ( lug. The coming year will be filled with news of greater interest. Con gress is in session, there will be primary and general elections, business will brisk along, there will be many , events of whic h you will want details We are planning to give you all the 1 news of the county, state and nation and in a manner which makes it easiest to read. We are proud and glad for the support you have given in j the past and want you to keep it up. I Now is the time to renew. Your attention is called to the Bok peace coupon. The plan which was published yesterday has been decided Jon by the committee and the writer will secure the- $50,000 prize. Now 1 an apportunity is being give n the pea , I pie to vote for or against the propos•cd plan, that it may decide outside of politics. Read the plan over and i vote in the way which you feel will lice surest to bring lasting peace to ! this nation and the world. We don't '' want any more wars. They cost lives i and money and they upset living conditions. Vote on the* Bok plan. I : The best thing about the cold snap was that it didn't last long and the i w.-ather man predic ts that for a week or two at least thc< weather will be I very pleasant for this time* of the I year.

The People’s Voice Urges A Vtistrical Society Editor Daily Democrat; 1 I. have been much interested in reading F. Q account of the "First Train which entered Decatur, in 1871." Also in Mrs. Morrison, letters ' about the- buildings streets and business houses of Decatur before the ''First Train" a*ived . All of which Is very interesting not only to me but to all readers of your paper, as 1 have heard from converutions regarding these communications. “First Things" and “First Halftonings" are always interesting to most people and that only goes to show that what Decatur and Adams county needs, and needs badly is a Historical Society, not only to preserve the records of these first incidents but to preserve the relics of pioneer days which ure scattered about the county. The implements which our pioneer fathers and mothers had in use when they were battling with mud bad roads and long distance and clearing fields and burning up timber which if we had it tod|y would be worth millions of dollars. Many an incident of those times could be gathered and many an implements in daily use then which the children of the present day never saw. .Many of those things could be found hid den away in garrets or cellars, which would cause no little wonder or amusement to the present generations. Decatur and Adams county could bring to light many relics of three wars in which her citizens have |>articipated. In the Civil War when the whole population of Adams county was only nine thousand. Adams county sent nearly five hundred men to the front. In the Spanish War her men responded quickly. In the World War. she furnished her quota. Therw-'lnust be numberless, relics of all these wars In the county and they ought to be gathered together and preserved to show the coming generation that Adams county has done her share for the government. But no one will do this but a Historical Society. have just read that the daughter of one of t)ie founders of this city died the other day. Surely the citizens of Decatur ought to erect some marker or tablet or something to the memory of the founders of this city to those who donated lots and lands to churches and cemeteries and pule lie buildings. Yet no one will do i his if we have no Society who will make it their business to do these things. Ft. Wayne has started such a Society in the last two or three years and it Is doing many good things along that line. Mr. snow’s History of Adams county is a valuable book and it will be yet more valuable as the years go by. Yet we want something that will give evidence and go deeper into habits and way* and necessities of th'- early settlers thfin the written page. These relics of a |>ast age will r>;o h more deeply into the hearts, and touch more reading the sympathies of people who may view them than whole chapters of reliable history though that is both valuable and necessary. By all moans then let some one work up u HistorleiU Society and not wait until the last member of the families of all th" <-«Hy settleers are gone, latt Mrs. Morrisons retnlnescenses and F. Q's First Train prove the Invltiatlve of the "First” Historical Society of Decutur and Adams county-tan take her place along with. Wabash Jay.
