Governor Brunch has tackled a real job and no doubt knows it. If he <-un straighten out the tangles nt the state house he will be more than a branch. He will be a sturdy oak or a tofcgh hickory. As we have stated Decatur and Adams county is splendidly blessed with high class ministers who are doing everything they can to make this the best place in the world in wbieir to live.. You can help them do it by attending church and taking part in their work. ————— Several Indiana papers arc patting! themselves and the people of the state on the back because of the conviction of the governor on charges of using the means to defraud. Great jehosophat, what else could be done? He offered no evidence in defense other than bis own statements which were admissions. About all any court or i jury could have done was to find him guilty. It's not much to brag about. > — The primary campaign is about I over. Headquarters at Indianapolis' are quiet places now and it only re-* mains to get out the vote and tally' results. The ci atests on both democratic and republican tickets are so mixed results can only be gueesed at I and usually these are colored by the desire of the guessed. The results will < probably not be known until the votes are cast, counted and tallied. In the primary held in Ohio last Tuesday but fifteen per cent of the vote was cast. That's a disgrace but perhaps It’s because of a dissatlsfac tion that may be different in November. Qnly the olt time partisans voted. but their decision of course stands. It's a case of the til wagging the dug Every election tends to prove the primary law a failure and judging from recent troubles with uffktads it has not produced the highest type of m«n to govern.

Face to Face With Carrie Chapman Catt The World’s Woman Suffrage leader (By Joe Mitchell Chapple) By a worldwide vote Carrie Chapman Catt is counted one of the world's greatest living women. In her office in New York City, I found her at work. On the desk were letters from till parts of the world. Hanging on

the wall was a map of the United d States marked with red. white and black spots, used during the early days of the woman suffrage campaigns—now the dark spots should all be turned to white. "It is now a relic,” said Mrs. Catt “Why have 1 retired? My work is finished and It is ready for others to carry on. F’or twenty years, since , 1595, I have never been free from the t responsibilities of national and international suffrage campaigns." , i When did the suffrage movement be~in?" 1 "The agitation for suffrage began i in the days of the Revolution. Abigail , Adams, wife of President John Adams, and Mrs. Mercy Otis, wife | of the Revolutionary patriot were the ; original leaders in the cause. Along j came Susan B. Anthony, the crusader, in the dark days, who would not I let the matter rest." The April sunshine lighted her face I as she continued: "Woman suffrage has triumphed in I Constantinople, the land of Turks I harems, and municipal suffrage has been granted in Spain. These are ] the last two guests we have wel- , corned. Women have the vote on jequal terms with men In the twentyjsix countries of the world .together with the new Republic of Greece. 1 while nearly equal suffrage prevails 1 ( in five other countries. Poland has 1 twelve women In Parliament. The > battleground is now Prance and Italy 1 ' — but we will win!” < "Who were your girlhood heroes?" "I had no book heroes.
