These are certainly fine days, just warm enough to be comfortable for those who cannot arrange to get to i a lake or mountain and the nights are comfortable. It’s a pretty good old world at that if we have good health. To pull together is the best thing for any community. If you are try- 1 ing to create discord and break downj the work of many years, you are Injuring the community and yourself. I If you are helping to make this the best place in which to live you will be tolerant and neighborly and pro-' gressive. Now both Coolidge and Davis know it and all they have to do is to comvince the voters. The campaign will start off within a week or so and continue ten weeks. Mr. Davis will make I an active and vigorous campaign 1 while present plans of President Cool-| idge are to make few speeches, leav-j ing his campaign to Mr. Dawes and others who are interested. ii—. ..—I After Davis made his speech of acceptance Mayor Dylan of New York, a progressive and a Hearst man came out for him. So did Senator Jim Reed of Missouri, so did many others who were undetermined. It takes a real man who hits out straight and hard to bring together all the factions of a political party, but John W. seems to have that capacity. Van Wert had an old cemetery o i West Main street, very similar to th • one in South Decatur. The citizens decided to convert it into a park in honor of the world war soldiers. The improvement is so great that we hope many from here will take a look for that's just what we should do anil could do with a little effort. The new Memorial I’ark at Van Wert is a beautiful place and a credit to them. The efforts of several of the partisan repubican papers to convince the voter a that times the past three years are the best ever are getting to be » somewhat of a joke to those who remember poof prices for crops, low wages and part-time work, high taxes and poor business the past three years. Compare them with any three years under President Wilson and see how the figures check as to net profits. We don’t believe the effort to ad I a rest room at the court house should be made political, hut it seems to be the idea of some. We believe it is needed and that the county should have enough pride to so improve the court house, but if the people think otherwise of course it will not be done H's your court house and it’s your business. It can b| , a( j t j e( j at a sma ]i cost to each individual tax payer if yon want U. l t you d(w - t we aßauro you it’s alright with us. The state tax board says that new evidence has been introduced and er-' rors discovered which will result in readjustments of the recommendations to place a horizontal increase on household goods, farm implements ami automobiles In various counties.

1 1 Face to Face With Guy Gundaker r Business Ethics Builder ! (By Joe Mitchell Chapple) i In the development of business • ethics, Guy Gundaker, the former* 1 president of the Rotariun s of the world, has played a conspicuous pari. At the Toronto International meeting he summarized a year of important work. During his tour abroad, visiting Rotary Clubs in many countries his work was acclaimed as the basis upon which a worldwide peace must be established. In some countries they did not understand his words, but his ideas and acts did not require translation, Modern wars have been largely the result of unfair and unjust trade practices between nations. Guy Gundaker insists you must begin wdth the individuals as units to correct this condition. Years ago he formulated plans that crystallized during his Rotarian ailministration. He evolved in

epigrams the thought of his brother Rotarians. Born of Quaker parents in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, it was an inspiring scene when he returned to the old home as president of Rotary International and was given a greeting by the friends of his boyhood who recalled Guy's square ethics in playing marbles. They wrote songs for him. eulogized the man and his ideals, and paid him high honors. Guy Gundaker. the Lancaster lad. |etudied law. but became a school teacher, and he taught young people in away they never forgot. ‘‘The most important thing I found I in my life was to he able to express ■ what is in my mind to others. The 'mind is usually a jumble with the ,average person. Teaching school was a rigid training. When I went into the restaurant business I found out that there was as great a field for I ethical develißlfffent in the restaurant business as in the legal profession. The classic quotations on the | menu cards day by day taught me I that the average person is just a little more intelligent than we think they’ are. for I found they appreciated thought gems with their food.”

! the tax payers which made the board back up. In this county the proofs consisted of showing the state board the automobiles on Which a twenty per cent, increase was ordered had been given in at a valuation far in excess of that provided by the auto dealers’ blue book. 1 j The following from the acceptance speech of John W. Davis, democratic nominee for president, shows. his soundness and his position as to the enforcement of law: “To the enforcement of the law, and all, we stand definitely pledged. We shall enforce it as fearlessly against wealth that endeavors to restrain trade and create monopoly, as against poverty that counterfeits the currency; as vigorously against ambition which seeks , to climb to office through the corrupt j use of money as against the lesser , greed that robs the mails. For no reason that is apparent to me the' , question has been asked, as perhaps , it will bontinue to be asked, until j has been definitely answered, what , views I hold concerning the enforce- , ment of the Eighteenth amendment . and the statutes passed to put it Into effect. Why the question; i H it not the daw? I would hold in contempt any public official who took with uplifted hand an oath to support the constitution of the United States, making at the same time a mental reservation whereby a single word of that great document is excluded from his vow. An administrative officer is no more entitled to choose what statutes -he will or will not enforce than a citizen to choose what laws he will or will not obey. As well might he ask to strike from the Ten Commandments those he was not inclined to keep. Obedience to the law j is the first duty of every good citizen. I whether he be rich or whether he be enforcement of the law against - every violator, rich or poor, is the 11 1 solemn obligation of every official.” d it Ftansisco— Ruffle steinhall, miner had his to e crushed off when drop . i ped a pi* e of coal on it.

J ■ • GUY GUNDAKER says: “Business is no longer barter—it should be an exchange of .honest favors that are as current as coin of the realm." Sturdily built, of ruddy complexion, Guy Gundaker is the soul of ;; niality with a humorous twinkle in his blue eyes. While his face is of serious mien, he will insist on his little joke with others as well as with himself.

To preside over an international ' convention representing twenty-six ’ nations, the first one of its kind that , | ever assembled internationally was in j itself a supreme test, but Guy Gun- ’ daker way equal to the emergency. , 'His memorable appeal for tolerance , and the avoidance of prejudice sank ’ in as he Insisted that intolerance is ( never competely loyal. “A mind not , open to conviction canpat remain true blue.” Softening cristlcism with charity, he urged keeping the mind so filled !with the love for fellowmen that bigo ■try and intolerance can find no lodging place there. It was an appeal for j world fellowship in business and ( among professional men. represent- ( j ing over half of the nations of the , earth. { While he has lived many years ir. f Philadelphia, his reputation as a good mixer continues—one who is “always welcome and ready with a welcome.” c “The business man of the future 1 must be able to maintain as high a a standing as any one in the common- € ity. This is one great result the war.” ... . .

The big fellow crashed the scales for 7 3-4 pounds and It took the young men three hours to exhaust it to the point I of landing.

New York World, (democrat) —For generosity of mind, for evidence of understanding, for grasp of public J affairs, this speech is not distinguished. New York Herald, Tribune, (re- , publican)—The calm simplicity to ' Mr .Coolidge’s speech of acceptance is a refreshing draft after, the rhetorical excitations of Mr. Daivs, emulating the governor of New York and endeavoring to be rough. Now Y’ork American, (independent) —A strange and ominous omission characterizes the address. In no paragraph, sentence, nor phrase of that six thousand word speech is mention made of the name or record of Warren. Harding, whose unexpired term President Coolidge is now’ serving. Chicago Journal, (democipt) —Mr. Coolidge's speech of acceptance is like himself —cool, not to say chilly, cautious and a bit cryntic as to meaning some sections. It is standpat document from first to last. While Mr. Coolidge is in the white house, n<> progressive need apply.
