If we had a democratic administration we would be hearing more about it but on t h e eve of an election the facts will be supressed by those in power. Smart politicians will try to figure a sensible plan for relief of the situation rather than how best to dodge it for political expediency. * ★ * * It is claimed now that Andrew Mellon, secretary of the treas- , ury was responsible for the defeat of William Kenyon, ot lowa, : kited for vice-president in last week’s convention. Mellon is said t<> be very angry with Kenyon because he voted to oust Senatori Newberry and gave other indications of favoring the people asp against the aluminum trust and others of considerable influence.[ When Kenyon’s boom got to a point where it looked dangerous,’ Uncle Andy just put his foot down and squashed the air out of i the balloon. That’s the way he does it. ♦ w • ♦ The sale of tickets for the chautauqua is progressing very sati. factorily but as always many are waiting until the last minute to jet theirs. It would be so much better if you would get them today or tomorrow and not wait until Monday or Tuesday. Those in charge are making every effort to have things ready for the opener next Tuesday and it is sure to be a great week for those who attend. The juvenile work p coming right along and will be a big feature. Get your tickets at oner and help make this chautauqua one that we will all be proud of. A real estate man who has covered a dozen states during the p vt few months and whose business it is to size up conditions in tl» various localities was in Decatut today and declared this one of the ln-st towns he had fount! a lywhere. With every factory op- j crating full time and with everyone at work, we certainly have nothing Io complain about. If the weather will straighten out and] the fanners can secure a crop and then sell at at a profit, this county and city will move along without knowing anything about l a depression. Don’t look for thing to knock. Be an optimist and a booster for Decatur and Adams county. It will help in many ways. * * * ** While you may not see the immediate value received in paying a five-dollar membership fee to the Harding Highway, we are sure you will in due time. It is more than probable that the route selected will in a short time be made a leading state road for the organization back of the project in Indiana can cause that to hap- i pen and they will. Would you five five dollars to be on the Lincoln Highway? Well, the men l»ack of the Harding Highway believe their road will soon Im? as impular. can’t lose much and you may do a great thing for this county. A farmer from eastj of the city called yesterday and said he was sure that every farm! owner aluiifc the route selected between here and the counts" fine will join the organization. We believe we can meet the requirements without any one being hrrt. • * * * A woman speaking before a body of women in the east, accused the old political parties of being without ideals. This may be partially true, but not wholly. Political parties an- built around . ideals, and when ideals are aba idoned the party disintegrtes and ceases to function. This has happened in this country several times. While ours is a politic d government, there are certain ideals that continually run through political action and crystalize in legal cme lments. There are ideals in political parties because political parties serve society. In the first and the last analysis, government is but the growth of ideals. These ideals have their birth in the smallest unit of organized government in the home; this is known as family government. This recognized authorit) and the ideals that cluster around that authority widens to federal agencies. Government is intended to serve the home; the individual* of the honw and society in the aggregate. When it fails to do this, it fails to function. Business houses, industrial institutions, ehufehes, schools, playgrounds, parks and hospitals, all are for the aervice of the public. Simply stated, the government is but organized society. Certain rules and regulations arc laid down for the regulation of human conduct and for the guidance of individuals and institutions in their relationships. That political party has the best ideals that has the most regard for the right s’of all people regardless of station or position. That peof’L is the best governed and most contented that has fewest and simplest laws. The personal equation must not lie abrogated if the government is to serve its legitimate end. Legal safeguards can be thrown around society without making them atockadcs. Perhaps what the wo man apeaktr had in mind was the constant supervision of society by certain agencies created und'-r the authority of political government, that are Intended more to serve a political purpose than to serve society. If the entire population of the United States wore composed of wild Indians there would not be more agencies for governing and controlling than we now have.—Frankfort Star.

1 Flashlights of Famous People

Face to Face With Robert E. M. Cowie President of the American Railway Express (By Joe Mitchell Chapple) Prmotion to executive position is an evolution demonstrating ♦!»<• necessity of early, rugged training in some business, calling for leadership. Poor boys’ struggling in the start, but devoted to their work, find their rewards today just as in the storybooks of old. A Scotch immigrant hoy arrived in Cleveland. Ohio, many years ago ami walked into the American Express Office, announcing that his name was Robert. He had the burr of Bobby Burn's "ain" country. When be signed his name, itobert E. M. Crowe, the agent smiled anil asked him if he could not release an initial or two if ho got a “short" job. The young Scotch boy.did not appr-ci.-te the jok. and thriftily clinging to hi - three initials, he made a name in his forty years second to none in the organization. Robert E. M. Cowie, the office boy I who cleaned the windows and cuspid-1 ors. is now the executive head of the American Railway Express Company, covering 265.000 miles of railroad with 28.5 M offices in all parts of the ! i’nited States. He applied for the I job porter, but was too small phys'e ally and was given the position of <>ffice boy, he was big enough for I that.

The American I people do not place shipments very far ahead.” Mr. Cowie has always kept in close . touch with the personnel of tile great I institution, and his broad-minded administrative genius i-nd human sympathies made him the logical sue-1 ceasor of tlie late George C. Taylor. I Youthful in appearance, he is at | an age when he can utilize the re- I suits of his mature experiences. Al I fiaent public Speaker, Mr. Cowie'a . talks are of popular interest, and hradios his discussion on the ueroplan • express service now* in contemplation.

Naturally Mr. Carter—whose letter follows —was sceptical. He had tried practically everything forth? relict' of constipation. All had failed. But Kellogg’s Bran brought him permanent relief, just as it has done for thousands of others. Read his letter: Gentlemen: 1 am 43 years old, and have been for yearn a great sufferer from constipation. I had to rvaijxn a clerical position because of ruahes of blood to my head, some of which caused me to fait to the ground.
