Josephus Daniels, who was ridiculed and railed all kinds of names, but against whom not a single scrap of nal criticism could be found, must be smiling up his sleeve these days. It is rumored also that things are not just right in Alaska and that when certain things in connection with that territory are investigated the Teapot Dome scandal will bo just a side show. No paper in the I'niled States will be known to more people than the Marion Star. When it was sold by the late President Harding the facts and finuurei were broadcasted over the country. After the death of the president those facts were reviewed. Now the paper is again receiving front page notices everywhere and it pays to advertise a newspaper the same as any other business. And the deal seems to have been all on the level, the charges of Mr. Vanderlip. notwithstanding. Os the S2.OW> road fund Decatur is assessed, $1,200 and that doesn't seem a fair proposition. While we should carry our full share of the assessment and we arc sure our citizens will be glad to do so. there is of course a limit and to place upon this community twothirds of the entire amount looks like riding a willing horse pretty hard. We have not heard the arguments and don't know the basis of fixing the assessments but at first glances it would seam a more equitable arrangeSlants should be made. Basketball is a great game. It furnishes sport for those who play, ambitions for those who hofa* to be on the team next year, amusement for millions of fans and a relaxation from worries, business, polities and scandals. It's clean and that's something in these days when everything is top-sey-turvey and there is danger of losing faith in everything and ever. 'tody. J«st now the season Is nearlnz th' < lose and soon the tournaments will be on. Get in the game, go to a lew and catch the enthusiasm. You will like the spirit, enjoy the young folks and regain your faith in your wlgh born. It's a great sport and a good thing for the country. .His. ■■ .. L an«. » Edward lienhy has resigned an «i*c rotary of the navy. At first he was quite brave and sent word to the aesate he would do the same thing ovvr again it given the chance. Evident!) thwy do not Intend to permit him to have the opportunity. It Is regrtdlM by many that Mr Denby was forced out horsnee j. t . approved ot the •>U leaaes. Os count* about every on< in the service | n Washington knew nlarnt tin ileal and there are many who only aiquh-aied, but those who did, thus gave approval and With th* Idg scandal on. have lost their usefiillnoss. .Mr. Denhy evidently resign, rd because he thought It Was better Coolldgo politics. Is that the only thing to be ronxMrrod these days? Mr. Ihiugherty who as attorney general. also premlttrd the leases to be given and several others, prominent In the national family, may follow Mr. Denby to ih«* rest and quiet of private

life. Ahd ltd goes It. "In this age," says a hustling city manager, “nobody has a right to be I anything but an optimist. One cam r not think of the amazing gains that p have been made in the world and be anything but an optimist." He speaks •' especially ot the gains in Industry, which enable one man. by pulling a lever, to the work that formerly H took the tugging and straining of a s thousand men, and in municipal goveminent where "the old ideas of polls () tics and graft are giving way before 5 a desire for something new.” There 3 is ample reaßon for cheerfulness in II both of these domains and in others that the speaker docs not mention. But It woulll take not only u very cheerful person bat a very shallow person to maintain that the improvement was universal. There nre still plenty of dark spots. Among them are the status of federal government and politics in this country and the ’ slowness with which Europe is recovering from the war. Everything considered, however, there is surely reason for optimism, because there is a surplus of good over bad, of progress as against retrogression. And no man has so good a right to be an optimist as one who, while he believes the world Is growing better, i a doing his level best to make it better. Good moods may be as powerful as good deeds. Combined, they are irresistible. If there were only enough optimists in the world, living true to their optimism, they could not help realizing their hopes.—Goshen News- Times. • — - o— — — State Board Os Health .Adopted A Resolution To Whom It May Concern The Indiana State Board of Health at a regular meeting held January I*. 1924, passed and adopted the follow ing rule concerning the matter of physical connection between a public watir supply and nn industrial or commercial water supply obtained from surface source or sources, and ordered this rule to be promulgated as provided by law: Indiana State Board of Health Rule Concerning Physical Connection Between a Public Water Supply - and an Industrial or Commercial Water Supply Obtamed from Surface Source.
