Wlien the banks of this country are bi'seigcd-r-as they are by young mon Who know no trade and have no special truining, but who seek work of a clerical character, playing contpara lively small wages, it indicates a sur- ( plus of labor —such as it Is. But when the inombertdiip of the useful and productive trades, paying good wages Io those who have mastered them, dwind- , le and practically no young men seek ( to be apprenticed to such callings—ns it tlie case —the aspect of things industrial, aa far as our growing youth may be conceruod. takes on quite an other hue. Our public school system may be an admirable thing some of us had no educational advantages other than it supplies but it seems to the thinking man that it fails in Its work of really educating the youth of the land when it only teaches them to shun the skilled trades and seek only the simplest form of clerical work for which no preliminary training is I liey were not schooled, did not scorn to become carpenters, bricklayers, mason:.. blacksmiths, wheelwrights, wag-onmaki-rs, painters, printers, machinist*, millwrights, cabinetmakers, shipbuilders or even ditch diggers. Many necessary. The boys of the land, when men now living can recall a day when men versed in the details of a good trade could be found the country over. The village cooper was respected as was the village shoemaker. The wagon maker lived well ami held up his load. Now alas - the sons of both hang their heads tn shame if anybody recalls the fact that their parents were journeymen. The sons know no trade and can do nothing well. They have been "educated” and therefore they are above working at building a house, making a shoe or coopering a firkin, st the case inay be. We have too many "gentlemen” in the country. Os course, they are only fake gentlemen anti hardly self supporting, but they fondly deceive thrnisolvrg Into lliink • ing they are the real thing. They knowhow In read icU'l write and r< Idem do either -but they can wear while collars ami the dothiifg that they foolishly believe distinguishes them «s no n of class and quality In the r<>mmuniiy In which they live. Our fool system of teaching pupils in public 1 heart t anything but that with which •hey ran earn a living has muc h to ; answer for. The worst of Its crimes ‘ Is when it transforms a boy from it | Mi.cnly youngster Into a sissy too good 1 to soli his bands with work of u conntrncllve kind. -New York Cummer dal. fhte of the last of the early poUH<al meetings held in th.- was that at (he Jefferson club at Kort I Wayne best evening when four rand I I date’ for governor.

I outstanding organisation of n political nature in the state.

It is a popular place for social gatherings as well as political events, and to the untiring efforts of Its officers Is due much credit. The new president who succeeded 11. Earl Peters is George Schauers who is well known here and who is putting every effort Into Ills work. "I would do it all over again tomorrow," says Secretary Denby concerning his action on the Teapot (tome oil leases. Surely ho doesn't mean lie would approve those leases knowing as ho does, all the trimmings which went with the deal, the suit case filled with currency, the uncashed checks and the Liberty bonds which were handed to the’ head of the Interior department. lie must Just bo talking. The time is near for the election of directors and officers of the Decatur Industrial Association and we arc in favor of a young man's ticket. We believe we need the push and power of the younger business man and that the timc> is here for them to take- on the responsibility of putting things over. Some one has suggested as the republican slbgan "We'll cool them off with Coolidge" and in answer a Hoosier democrat offers "We'll rub ’em raw with Halstoo.” AUNT JESSE When we kids had m'-asles Aunt Jesse came to stay And help Ma out.
