The season is late in every thing Including the nomination of a democratic national ticket, but that's no sign we won't have one and a good one. They say that every sign falls in dry weather, but “we 'aint had none,” yet. Why not have a Harvest Festival in September or October in addition to the early fair? It would give appor (unities for many features not possi ble at this season and we believe would please hundreds. It could be given in connection with the propos ed picnic for the farmers of the county by the Industrial Association The county fair will be held in two weeks. It's early of course, but it’:; the* best date the management could secure this year and it Is hoped tha' everyone will aid them to make It r big success. Next year we are prom Ised a later date when the agricul t lira I departments can be improved upon. The program this year Is th< biggest ever ami nothing will be let' umhme to give visitors more than their moneys’ worth. Boost for the Northorn Indiana Fair. It’s a real institution and a good one for every one. It Is charged now that the drawn out contest ut the democrat!,- ciMvcn tlon was due to the fact that we had no boss and yet when a pollthal party Is controlled by a great leader like Wilson, we are accused of being “wax figures." Just how can the public Im pleased in those matters?

Louis Arthur Coolidge win born In Nat ck. The time young Coolidge spent at rhe pr nt shop after school hours, as a young lad, indicated that there was a “newspaperman" and a real cit,.zen in the making. He wan graduated from Harvard in ’S3, with a degree of A. I!., tnagnu cun laude. The ink was scarcely dry on his diploma before he had a Job on the Springfield Republican, and five years of work on that pul.-cation, under the elder Samuel Bowles, wus a journlalstic training unrivalled.

After three years’ service us secretary to Henry Cabot Lodge, he went o Wash’Jigton and became a conspicuous figure in the press gallery, for he was one of the young men who was always wanting Jo understand tilings. He there became one of Theodore Roosevelt’s most intimate friends. In 1904 when Roosevelt was a candidate to success himself as Preident. Louis Cooldge wax placed in charge of the L terary Bureau. Re publican National Committee, and in 1908 was appo'ntcd Assistant Secretary of the t’nited States Treasury. In Washington he was prominent in th,- affairs of the Gridion Club, his genial humor having had someth ng to do with his elect'on of president if the dub. Many of the mir it provoking skits orlg mated in his fertile bra in. A chairman of the Committee to Welcome Home the Soldiers and Sailers of Massachusetts, ocluding the rflth fiivi; on. he made It an event of historical Importance. An early admirer of Genera! U.

flatten Mm against screens, window Fanes, or bald heads we release a flock of deadly germs that will sneak up behind us later and sting us. According to Mr. Carpenter, the proper thing t:s to swat breeding places of flies. In other words, instead of trying to exterminate the fly’s progeny we should encourage him to practice birth control. This won't be good news to the manufacturers of fly swatters, but we can't help it. We are strong for disseminating the truth, even about houseflies.—New York World.

The state of Indiana does not seem to be much disturbed over aiicu of rebellion within it* border*. yet there la u rebellion, a one-man revolt against the state and a considerable cause at stake. The trouble Is ' In Ilenton county. The mun who has defied the state Is James McDaniel, assessor of Center township. Denton county. Assessors have been having a hard time lately, owing to the disposition of higher power* to interfere with assessments, often to the extent of assessing land at more than nny one of good sense v4>uld pay for It. The offense charged against Assessor McDaniel I* that he refuted to fill out blanks sent to him by the Indiana legislative reference bureau, which asked many questions about conditions In Benton township. Includ Ing matters pertaining to the health and well-being of livestock. In effect. McDaniel declared that If the leglsla five reference bureau wished to know how many chickens John Jones, of,

Center township. Benton county, had, on hand March 1. or thereabouts, it could come up to BonUrn county and count them. Furthermore, the Bentou county circuit judge agreed with Me-1 Itanlel by deciding that the reference 1 bureau i» not defined m the law as a statistical bureau, and thvrufnre ba* wo right tn burden an assessor with 1 a mass of atallstlcal question*.

ft i lIMK.P Xy‘ ' ‘'gf y < -V LOUIS A. COOLIDGE says: “Every business man ought to be a politician. Every politician ought to be a business man." After leaving Washington, he became treasurer and director of the United Shoe .Machinery Company of Boston. Whether it is as vice-presi-dent of the Boys Club of Boston, with 4,500 members, or organ'jc'ng the Sentinels of the Republic, which commemorated the 200th anniversary of Samuel Adams, the Revolutionary patriot. Louis A. Coolidge carries on the splendid traditions of New England. He has summoned up the reasons for his political activity in this' remark: “Every bus'.ness man ought to be a tolitlc an Every politician ought to be a business man." President of the famous Middlesex Club four years, he added a brilliant chapter to the pol'tical history ( f the country. As member of tlie "Amen Corner" in New York, he is always on the firing line. He prepared the art ,cle on the Republican party published in Encyclopedia Americana and has been a popular contributor to many of the leading magazines. In appearance Louis Coolidge Is a modest-looking man, w.th dark eyes that twinkle behind his glasses. It is no wonder that his friends are insistent that he has all the qualifications essential for making a career in the United States Senate. He knows fais Washington and every phase of legislafve work from the town meeting, a delegate to the national convention, or sitting in an assembly remaking a state constitution. He has added fame and dst inc lion fb th,- good old New England name of “CooMdge."

RALSTON ATLAW OFFICE TOW Indiana Senator Happy That He Was Not Nominated For Presidency (United Press Service) Indianapolis. July 9—(Special to Dally Democrat)—Samuel M. Ralston the dark horse who didn t! run. w<nt on disturbed about his law business today, content to escape a burden he did not want. Though his life long friends expressed keen disappointment that he quit the race for tilie democrat c pr< s identlal nomination when victory was Just ahead, the man who could have| been the party’s standard bearer off the 1924 campaign and perhaps the president of the United States seemed glad to have it over with. If he felt any tinge of regret at letting slip the prize for which have struggled through • Rht days, and nights of balloting, Ralston kept it carefully concealed. "My telegram demanding with-, drawal of my name spoke for itself. | was Ralston’s only comment. “I did not want the nomination. I never sought! it. There is nothing more to add.” From the day his name was first mentioned as a president al possibility Ralston said he preferred to give up public life at the end of his term as senator for the less strenuous existence of a Hoosier farmer and lawyer. ’ ® It was only when Ralston Jumped the fence a second time that Taggart realized the deadly earnestness of every word Ralston uttered whin he told the Indiana democrats at their date convention: “1 have never aspired to th<- preslency of this country There is something about the greatness of this exalted pox tlon that admonishes me against wanting to undertake the execution of its grave and solemn du les." Just how close he was to the nomination opurentiy did not dawn on Ralston unt.l he had telegraphed Tom Taggart, manager of his boom in the convention, that he was out of ’he running and had emphasized the telegiain with a long distance confersat'on in wh ch he rejected Taggart’s plea to stay in the race a few ballots longer. Then Taggart, whose political genius had. helped him to the governorship of Ind ana and the United States senate, quit the fight. The Ralston boom exploded at the very hour the convention leaders were in conference preparing to start a stampede for him at last, night's session. Already, it was understood, Taggart had promise of votes of 450 delegates. and McAdoo was reported i ready to quit the race in Ralston's; fa i or.
