A reduction of one cent per gallon on gasoline in Indiana is gratefully received by the candidates and their friends, without knowledge of the cause. Tomorrow is Sunday, the weather is comfortable, it’s Just as important that you go to church this time of year as any other. The best method of getting this country back to normalcy is to worship God in the oldfashioned way. Thp democratic state committee will meet at Indianapolis next Thursday morning at ten o’clock. A number of workers from over the state have been invited to meet with the committee at which time plans'* will be discussed for a vigorous campaign, to start the first of September. If the estimate on the proposed swimming pool looks too high for the city to stand without a boost in the tax rate why not raise a part of the necessary money by popular subscription. We are sure a lot of people would lie glad to subscribe to it and to purchase a life membership in a club for its support. We want a pool and most of us are willing to help pay for It. The board of safety of the city council are earnestly trying to work out tlie problems here and they should have your help and support, your friendly criticism and your advice and commendation. They are considering installaton of automatic stop ami start signals at the dangerous corners and they want to build a community swimming pool. These things cost money and the most difficult thing to do is to provide everything the public wants and at the same tinfe reduce Jhe taxes. Clem Shaver of West Virginia has been officially named manager of the Davis campaign and will head the na tional committee. There is one great advantage in hi H selection and that is there can be no doubt as to his sinverity. It has been his hope for years that his friend, John W. Davis, become president and he will permit nothing to interfere witli his success. The notification of Mr. Davis will occur at Clarksburg on the evening of August 11th and will be a big political event. Efforts are now being made to have the state highway commission take over the Harding Highway route from Huntington tn the Ohio state line through this city. That would mean first <ias» road, eventually paved, t and wi>,,t well north and HOuth through Decatur and would the couAy » lot ot m<)ney on ”PK-ep and repays.

Side tracks are filled with empty freight cars, many factories are closed down entirely while others are working part time only, the outlook for the farmer is any thing hut bright and there are lot of things which would indicate normalcy a failure.

Face to Face r. r- With r. Arthur Capper r Senator from Kansas , (By Joe Mitchell Chapple) 9 A thin, spare young lad who loved 9 to hang around the village print shop. 9 was born July 14. 1865, at Garnett, } Kansas. Upon graduating from the ’ High School ho let it be known that > he had a job, and in 1884 Arthur Cap- > per was a compositor on the Topeka I Daily Capital. While pulling out for * a "big string” he was dreaming of the day when he might own a newspaper of his own. He sought a Job as a reporter, made good, and became city editor and Washington correspondent and afterward worked on the New York Tribune. In 1892 he became proprietor of the Daily Capital, on which he had worked as a typesetter, and later publisher of Capper’s Weekly, Farmer's Mail and Breeze. Household Magazine. Capper's Farmer, Missouri Rurallst, Nebraska Farm Journal and the Oklahoma Farmer, covering the states of Kansas. Nebraska and Oklahoma. While Arthur Capper was for many years president of the Kansas State Good Roads Association and State Historical Society, he refused to run for public office until he was given the Republican nomination in 1911. He was not elected until 1915 and was the first native son of Kansas to have i that distinction. i Senator Capper is still slim, with I thoughtful blue eyes reflecting an I earnestness and seriousness that is ’ impressive. He Is intensely practical. < "Young men get on better when 1 they have a trade or a productive oc : cupation. I count the printer's work I as an education in itself. The para- < mount issue of today is the farmer, i Without farmer all fails, and something must be done to permit i him to get a larger proportion of the i amount the consumer pays for his t products.” In his service in the Senate. Arthur r Capper has been especially active ini t

lack of any items reflecting this con-, dition in the big newspapers. If the democrats Were in power the let-up in business would be a headliner every day. However, most people know the trutli so what's the use to harp about it. Let's be as optimistic as we ■ can. The fair grounds will be open tomorrow and many of the exhibitors are moving in and "setting up.” The grounds show activity that guarantees a big week and your interest, 1 enthusiasm and help together with your attendance is all that is needed to make this one beat all former ones. The races will be exciting and interesting as there are nearly two bunded race horses here waiting for the word, "go.” Every department of the fair is up to snuff and the managers are wearing a broad smile of antici- 1 • pation of a fair that will help the 1 community and those who attend. They are serving you and you should be glad to lend a hand. A Texas woman is running for governor on a platform that attracts attention because of its absurdity. Her motive, no doubt, is as altruistic as ever stirred the heart of woman, but her appeal to the electorate is one that should not move those who vote only for the best interests of a commonwealth. The candidate is the wife of a former governor who was impeached and barred front holding public office. Standing upon the platform announced by her husband before the courts ruled he could not be a candidate. she is bold in proclaiming that she is running for the vindication of. the man she loves.—Memphis Commercial Appeal. ■‘■■i'. 1 - .

committee work. “The seed is sown in the work of the committees. That is where real legislation is formulated.” in his office in Washington or in his office in Topeka, he is the same Arthur Capper, ready to discuss the questions of the hour like a true son of the Sunflower State. One of the Governors of the Loyal Order of Moose Ind a member of the Elks, the Odd Fellows, Workman and Modern Woodmen, and. in fact, nearly all the civic organizations, he is a regular "jiner.” Greatly attached to his Quaker mother who had come to Kansas in the pioneer days he left home early to make his own way and never returned as a dependent. After that he was a home helper. Keenly interested in boys’ and girls' clubs, he has loaned over 8100,000 to the farm boys and girls and never lost a cent. Not having any sons or daughters of his own. he desired to help others to appreciate and enjoy. When I left the Senator concluding a long day at his desk, after the Sen ate adjourned, he turned and remarked in his high-pitched Kansas drawl: “Isn't it glorious to find work where enthusiasm never wanes in the joy of trying to do things for others."

They have a chance of carrying a few states including Wisconsin and the Dakotas and perhaps Idaho and Montana, but we will be surprised if they carry a single state The contest will be between the two old parties and a vigorous campaign will land Davis and Bryan in the White House. ++++++++ + + 4- + + + ♦ TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY ♦ ♦ From the Daily Democrat flies ♦ + 20 years ago this day ♦ ♦ ♦♦♦♦ + ♦♦« «> * * * 4 July 19.—Judge rtrwin appoints Mrs. A.

Were justice unmingled with love, Were we held t oa strict account, Mind could not reckon our debt. Nor millions pay the amount. Yet daily our food He provided Warmth and light of the sun; He thinks of our needs every day And provides for them one by one. Patient when we are so willful, Waiting when wo are so slow; Helping us fight our battles. When each is his own worst foe. I Faithful when we are so faithless Forgiving when we repent; Ixiving us. so that, in pity Our Saviour from heaven He sent. > We stand amazed at His mercy His goodness ever new; Hensefortji. by the help of His grace In heart and life we’ll be true, —A.

It was too cheap to be good and they knew it Then I raised the price of the same beer to 25 cents and 50 cents a glass and sold a barrel almost every day and 1 gave them the same stuff too — and it was made right here in Fort Wayne and I know it was dry beer."

What “HOLD TIME” May Do To Your Service I There are times when two parties get to visiting over the phone for an unusually lohg period. It may be necessary in some instances, but, we believe, that most cases are to the contrary and in the meantime someone may be trying to get one of the numbers talking and consequently it is impossible to get thru. This is unfair to the party callling and the number called—especially so to persons on a party line who may have urgent reason to use the telephone for sickness of any one of a number of out of the ordinary things. We don't believe that telephone users would wilfully hold up possible important service and this suggestion is made in the interest of everyone subscribing to our telephone service.
