Mo YOUR BOY AND HIS DAD: From April 27th to Maj 3rd the attention of many communities will be directed to the boy and his needs. Thousands of boys, swinging along in parades, attending church services or school assemblies, exhibiting their prowess in athletics or their skill in < handicrafts, will remind the citizens of the privileges and responsibilities < of parenthood and guardianship. Si- 1 multaneously hundreds of speakers and writers will direct public atten tion to the potentialities of the young , er generation. All of which will be ; good for the boys and for their elders Yet because every boy has to pass through what is called '‘the awkward age;” because it is hard to visualize the leading citizen of the future in a youth whose voice shifts from bass to treble, and whose lanky limbs seem to collide with all the bric-a-brac; be cause the adolescent boy hates demon strativenesg but little less than he loves fair-play; we often see iaatencue of, this physlcial awkwardness of the boy being reflected in a mental and spiritual awkwi—• >ess for his family or even society, i'he "awkward age” becomes more I'un awkward—it becomes dangerous. There is just one way in which the parent can assure for his boys that glowing future which a Boys* Week indicates. That is for the parent to do bis teaching by example and to clinch precept with syntt athy. Youth is keen to detect hypo-.: ay even in parents, and has a healt>y Intolerance of ahams. Meet the boy on his own ground if you would climb the heights of success together.—The Rotarian. The state has borrowed another half million dollars to meet current ex peases. IxMisled the state debt to approximately five million dollars and ordered county treasurers to advance seventy-five perecent of the taxes due June 30th. This is a serious crisis mid u time when those who are <andldates for governor should talk serious ly rather than entertain the voters with funny stories, jokes and flings With eight months of the present administration to tome it will require a real business man and one who knows public affairs to straighten the tangles, it will take several years to put things back where taxes can be reduced but It won't come st pH unless you riant safe, wane tareful business men to state oflli <• who will strive to do it.

Flashlights of Famous People

Face to Face With r Jane Addams America's Great Woman Who Truly Merits the Title of World i Citizen (By Joe Mitchell Chapple) Small towns have away of contributing much to the big cities. It has been so for many years. Peacefully, there rests one of these small towns out in Illinois, about twelve miles from that mysterious line which divides the state from Wisconsin. This is a village with a blacksmith shop, a mill by the stream, and most of the homes have orchards in the back yard. You have never heard of it. so I will tell you the name by which it is recognized from either end of the "depot." It's Cedarville. Cedarville surrendered its most valued product to Chicago. She was Mias Jane Addams —and in fact- still is Miss Jane Addams. Chicago gained much for she gave them the famouJ Hull House, the first social settlement In America. The other day when I talked to Miss Addams in New York, she said with a twinkle in her eye. 'I won't say how many years ago it was when I went to the Hull Honse. but it is more than twenty-five." In lieu of such modesty. I wil! have to say that she opened the Hui House in 1889. Then—l might add to that mathematical problem: She was four years old when President Lincoln was assassinated. Ixtoking into those gray eyes which sparkle with youth ind radiate their depth of understanding. it was difficult to comprehend the span of her great usefulness as America's most eminent • woman. She is yet young gauged by the ardor and intensity with which she continues her work. "My Dear Double D’ed Addams:" is the way that Lincoln would start his letters to Miss Addams' father, who was his close personal friend and supporter, serving In the Illinois Senate during the Civil War period. The Addams family was large, there being three sisters older than Jane When she went away to school, it was to Rockford College. After Rockford. she decided to become a physician and studied in the Woman's Medical College in Philadelphia. Her attitude was always that of a stu lent, which led her to travel abroad

He served the county six years as a commissioner and left a record of honesty an<| efficiency. He was a splendid citizen, an efficient public official and a devoted husband and father and neighbor. His death is deeply regretted. Col. Fred lieptsrt has offered a free site for the tourist camp, provided he is assured that it will be kept in a dean and sanitary condition. That's the right kind of public spirit ami a proposition that looks like it might be worked out to the benefit of the CO® munlty, visitors and everybody else. - ♦ TWSNTY YEAR* *OO TODAY • ♦ d ♦ From the Dally Democrat Ills* • ! ♦ 20 year* apo thia day < ♦ ♦ tIMPVg Traction company organized with IZtt.UOO capital stock.

at the end of a year's medical course. In London she saw Toynbee Tall and the work being done for the poor. It was the turning point of her career, for Jane Addams got her inspiration there to do the same thing in the United States. She returned to y Chicago. Hull House in the beginning was one small home formerly belonging to one of Chicago's pioneer citizens by the name of Charles Hull. A H friend let her have it rent free. Gent erally speaking, it was located on Halstead street in tfie center of the I Nineteenth Ward, amongst much , squalor and confusion. Specifically , speaking, it was located between au undertaking establishment and a saloon. She made a home among the poor of all nations, for there were . Italians, Irish, Bohemians, Poles. . Russian. Jews , Scandinavians and , may other races in this most cosmo- , poll tan section. She Itecame counsellor. friends nurse and chaplain of all Wentnally she made it the most , complete social settlement in the I world. Truly Jane Addams has been a , citizen of the world, for her interests hJs-e been many aq<l she has been a mighty factor in labor legislation Child Welfare. Woman's Suffrage, and the Woman's Peace Party. At one time or another nearly all women have been enlisted under her ( leadership. She has always chatnpioned the causes of women. I wouldn't go so far as to say that she is a feminist, but I will say that from Mis Addam's conversation of her recent trip in the Orient, interesting though it was. I <oud not Insure that there were any "men in the picture” at all—and she spoke of Shanghai. Bombay. Calcutta. Korea. Tokio. and Manila. "The yonuger generation, of India resent the idea that they ride around on painted elephants—they wish to bury thjtt ghost" c<>ttiiueut<<l Miss Addams. ''Oriental women are very active in Oriental affairs. This impresed ui<* most. You know England has given suffrage to the women of India. They are sitting in the council at Bombay. The women of India feel that it is up to them now to show what it misht have been if the men had not had such a great advantage in the start." Refer; Ing to Great Utilaiu. she added. "England was conquered by the Irish and given to the Scotch — II qgwt be <-n my v tadio address!”\ Jane Addams is busy—and always will be.

Dr. Priest Seeks Nomination

>, Fellow Democrats and Voters: — d I come to you asking your support t because I believe in things that are . vital to our state an dpeople and I ij would very much like your help in e carrying out a program of re-adjust- „ ment. You should not vote for me or for any candidate because of friendship or political hacking unless you feel ' that by so doing you are doing the very best for the people of Indiana — Party consideration is or should always be secondary to the public wei- ’ fare. 5 The man. who in your best judg1 ment will conscientiously carry out a program in the interest of the peo1 pie, free from party bosses and spe1 cial interests, is the candidate for you to select regardless of the name he goes by or where he is from and ■ when you do your selecting as con--1 scientiously as you would have the party selected do his duty, all will be well with our state as well as with the Democratic party. 1 not only believe in Law Enforcement but 1 believe in an impartial and honest effort at the job and I would like to see the enforcement equalized to the end that justice can not be thwarted, merely because the guilty has the money and influence, while the poor and unfortunate must suffer a greater penalty for a lesser crime. The state is burdened with debt because of the extravagant expenditure of the public money and taxes will only be lowered when we are able to curb this tendency and I am Ifor Curbing it. The control of our state has rapidly centralized until it can almost truthfully be said that we are living under a commission form of government and whether you can or can not erect a school house or build a road rests not with the people of our community but with your Guardians at the Capital. Many of thfse Boards or Commissions should be abolished and others should have their power limited and the government restored to the people where it rightfully' belongs under our Democratic form of government and we should strive to maintain Ixtcal Self Government to the Fullest extent compatable with the interests of the governed. Labor should always receive a wage in keeping with the Spirit of the Declaration of Independence, which would guarantee to our citizenhip—LlFE — LIBERTY — and the! PURSUIT of HAPPINESS—for with-' out an adequate return for latbor,; LIFE is meaningless—LlßEßTY is a mockery and the PURSUIT of HAPPINESS is a sham. This applies not inly to men but to WOMEN ami women should always receive equal < ompensation with men for work of

a similar character, for to do othert wise is to discriminate against the ) greatest institution on earth, The I HOME. I 1 Laws should be passed causing the • Tenemant Housing Conditions to be improved so that our people will be I ' assured housing under Healthful, > Sanitary and Comfortable conditions. 1 ] ' I favor a Co-operative Marketing I 1 Law, agreeable and Favorable to the j Funner, and while ft has been a good 1 many years since 1 was raised on the I farm aud 1 do not pretend to be a farmer, yet I have some first hand knowledge of his (trying situation from being the joint possessor with my wife of about 200 acres of good farm land that is not meeting the I TAXES aud general up-keep from the proceeds from the land. In fact I find it is almost impossible even amongst the best of farmers and I am for any plan that they in their combined wisdom deem best for their betterment. The people are rightfully demanding protection from Speculative and . Stock selling concerns and a BlueSky Law with teeth that will BITE should be enacted. The Standard of our Public Schools should be raised and of great assist-’ ance in accomplishing this is to make Teaching a Real Profession by com-! pensating our teachers adequately that they may properly fit themselves for a life work in the profession and not be compelled to drop out in order to obtain money to meet the ever increasing cost of living. Along with the school program should be Free Text Books for use in the Public Schools that the Burden may be lifted ftoni the trnfortnnate and for those that are fortunate enough to have real families of boys and girls.l The funds of the state and those funds collected by.state or semi-state institutions should be properly safeguarded and some one be made re-! < sponsible for the same without any] further "shell game methods." "Now you see it—-Now you don’t." Anything that may be for the public good wit! receive my closest attention without regard to whether it emenated from friend or antagonist.: We may not meet before the primary but let's hope that all the candidates will receive your' careful consideration and that your vote and influence will be for the one. who in your judgment vpll most vigorously and cotttageowrty carry out a program in the interest of the people of cur ■ State aud if you feel that I would do that thing and you Favor the majority of the things 1 have enumerated i would most certainly appreciate your support until a nomination is made and election assured. —Dr. F.
