That's the way to fool 'em. .John Adair has started his campaign and in doing so is urged tm early start in every county for every democratic candidate. He is a hustler not < • otjly in a campaign, hut after he wins and reports at Washington. He is always on the job, looking after the interests of the people of his districts and his record made in ten years’ service there should be enough to return him. The steel trust declares their regular dvidend. sure proof according to Mr. Gary, that times are good. But how about the thousands of workers in the steel mills of the county who have been out of a job all summer? Just declaring that the workingmen. the farmer and he small business man is prosperous, doesn't make it so. Dividends to the stockholders of the steel trust is not the only thing necessary to create happiness in this country. Why not settle the controversy as to whether or not a Defense Day is the thing by having it on the Fourth of July? We always had an idea that! that was partly the purpose of the day. Certainly we don’t need any more holidays aid we doubt if any, real American needs any inspiration to make him fight to defend his country if it’s necessary. We wasting a lot of energy and effort I and some are inclined to believe there may be some politics mixed up in the word battles now on. A lady who has been kind enough to send us news frequently, complained last evening that there were not enough news items * n the P a P er from her section of the city and seemed to I think if was trecausef’of some design on our part, We assure her this is not the reason and that we will be more than delighted to publish news If we can get it. Our telephone number is 1,0(10 and we hope that when any accident occurs, when yon konw of. anyone being ill. when you have complaints of reckless driving or dis-' turbances, you will all call us. We make every effort to get the news and we want it al'. If you wijl help ns a little occasionally we re sure you will be better pleased and we will be appreciative and delighted. | nsi i in ne n i .— ■*«. The state tax board, it seems, can do about anything it cares to do, and i the little matter of making a horizontal Increase In assessments is on a of the easiest things it dooa, The increases in wells county's assessments, ’ made yesterday, an e „ TOple J raise of twenty per cent. o n automo- I biles, twenty per cent . oa hoßßehoW '., goods and thirty-three and a third onpoultry is some little increase e.q> e .l daily after the township assessor, the’ county assessor and the board of re-' view have gone ever the sheets and made every effort to do the job honestly and to the best interests of the county and state. ‘ These local men are just as anxious to get everything'

on the sheets thev can—they lire ex | pected to—and Uie state board has simply gone over them and placed a valuation much higher and it affects the man who has given iu honestly just as it affects that man who was not quite so liberal. These are the things that dlguat the taxpayer with the state tux board.—Bluffton Banner. Senator Jim Couzens, Michigan, is practcally on the standpat republican blacklist. He is pdrsona non grata ui the White House, and the national committee, a a well as the Michigan state committee, has no use for him. f’ourens insists that there is something wrong in the treasury department. He believes, sincerely, that the prohibition laws are being shamefully violated by Prohibition Director Haynes. Because of this belief he demands that an investigation be made of Mr. Mellon's department. And for his independence he is outlawed by the standpat republicans. What a contrast! Senator Newberry, convicted of buying his way into the senate, was upheld at every turn by the republican old guard—the same men who are now displeased with Couzens. it was perfectly proper, said the standpatters, for a man to buy his way into the senate. They now say it is highly Improper for a republican to ask an investigation of a republican department in Washington. It there is nothing wrong in z the department why the objection? Certainly uio harm can result from such an inquiry.—Huntington Press. o THE FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT (Gal. 5:22-23) PEACE Peace. —that passeth understanding, Singing 'mid the sorest trial; Seeing hope fail of fruition Meets oppression with a smile. Goes undaunted through ‘.he danger, Though assailed by fiercest foes j Caring not for blade or bullet, Satisfied that, heaven knows. Undisturbed by criticism Murmurs not though great the loss, Does its best alway, unfaltering, I C.imbs up rugged Calvery’s cross. Like a bird ihat builds where billows Boat against the rocks and break. Knowing well, no wave can reach her , Or the firm foundation shake. ■ Peace, that cometh down from heaven Not such as the world gives; This they have, with whom the Spirit I Daily, hourly, constant lives. —A.
