With the state five million dollars in debt and ten months to run on the present spending scheme, the next administration will have something to do and it's surprising there are so many candidates who seem anxious to tackle the job. It won't be any picnic to straighten out the tangled financial web. This community can't do tilings without money. We must pay our share of the state road expenses, we must pay for marking the Harding , Highway, we can't have a tourist camp i without money to provide convenien- • <<>s and we can't get anywhere with- 1 out some cash. The committee will raise $4,000 and those who subscribe , to it will be real boosters for Decatur I and Adams county. * ( Attorney General Daugherty has left Miami for Washington and 'though . he says there is nothing new In his • difficulties, developments at the White House- show that his successor is being selected. Among those under consideration hre Jndge Kenyon of lowa. Judge Deitri-.k of Idaho and Judge Wilbur of California.

Coolidge headquarters in Indianapolis occupy eight rooms in on c - of the high-priced hotels and includes a publicity department, woman's bureau, labor head<|tiartors, colored voters' bureau and all the rest of them. There are a hundred .similar headquarters over the country and voters are asking where does all the money come from and why is 't put up? And It's a fair question.

Face to Face With r Bishop Manning Around Whom Centers the 1 Controversy of Fundament--1 alism and Modernism i By Joe Mitchell Chapple ’ In spite of the fact that the storm ' center of fundamentalism and mod ' ernism centers about him. Bishop 1 William Thomas Manning has proven a very calm and tactful leader. Ever since he took his degree of B. D. from the University of the South, he has been known as one of the cool headed leaders in the Episcopal Church. He was made a priest of the Episcopal Church in 1891 and began his ecclesiastical career at Redlands, California. As professor of dogmatic theology in the I'niversity of the South he soon established himself as a leader of religious thought. He was rector at Lansdowne. Penn sylvania. rector of Christ Church, Nashville, and became Vicar of St. Agnes Chapel In New York in 1903. Later he was rector of historic Trinity Parish in New York where for thirteen years he established a nationwide reputation. In 1921. he was con 1 secrated as Bishop of New York, and has carried on the work of the great cathedral. He was a volunteer chaplain during the war at Camp Upton and was given the Chevalier Legion de Honneur of France and Officer Order of Crown, Belgium, for his enthusiastic and helpful service. ' In the great cathedral built on the rocks, uncompleted, but a beautiful retreat for worship, Bishop Manning answered his critics in a most calm and deliberattive way in a public. sermon. "If we take away the foundat ion of our belief in the inspired word and the virgin birth and divinity of Christ, what else remains?’’ He is a small man with a pleasant voice and as enthusiastic in his church work as when he was a rector in California or the vicar of St. Agnes Chaps-I-"Sometimes I feel that we may! make too muc h of our differences of our p-tsoi:al reflections and court faith in our make up.

the spiritual rather than the side of f fundamentalists and modernists. In r the last analysis, the people all want to do that which is good and K kind and in the spirit the Master, There is so much to do and so little time in the brief s|>an of life that 1 feci every earnest minister has work in the Master's vineyard aside from criticizing or challenging what others i may believe." When Bishop Manning heard Pres- , ident Coolidge's recent address in New York, something was interjected in his remarks by the President that I seemed to broaden the smile on the Bishop's face indicating a confirmation of his belief in the fundamentals, although the word was not passed in the little chat that I had with him as the great assemblage was breaking up and the gaily,decorated hull rung with repeated cheers for the President of the Cnfted States.

We have the name. Ate we going to brave th" •bought?” Dr. Fulkerson stated that the last tire years of education have been lost unless it is applied in Christian efforts. The- great religious system of the- h’-ath'-n have held the peoples of the orient in moral restraint, but th'Mc- systems uro crumbling and the new generation It crying out "foola," •nd Christians haven't bi-n alb.- to -upplant those religions with a real one-.
