We’re not using it. That weapon is the ballot. What are we doing with it? In each national election since 1896 the proportion of voters has dwindled. In IS9G, SO per cent, of those qualified to vote did vote; in 1900, 73 per cent.; in 1908, 66 per.cent. Four years ago 5-1,421,832 Americans could have vot ed but only 26,786,753 did so. Such is the decending curve of American democracy. Unscrupulous politicians get what they want by herding their masses of unthinking voters to the polls. Isn't it time more thinking voters were heard from? REGISTER! VOTE! Instead of bein : a parlor patriot, a rocking-chair Paul Revere, let each American prove his right to citizenship. Let’s make 1924 the Year of the Big Vote. —Reprinted from Colliers The National Weekly. The campaign is on. In eighty towns and cities of Indiana tonight, the .democratic program will open with speeches and from now on there will be political meetings almost every ev‘ening. During the next six or seven 'weck-s the campaign and the probable results of the election will be the big topic of interest. In thi 3 county the ’activities will be noticeable next week. Thi s week there will be organi•nation meetings of the Jefferson Club ■and other bodies. Tonight the Davis speech will be received by radio at •democratic headquarters. The rooms -are being put in shape for the cam paign and there will be plenty doing soon. Tl>o Coolidge-Dawes caravan is an •outfit of ten automobiles, which carry two or three speakers picked up along the line, a bunch of newspaper mon and a doctor. They are touring the country io arouse some interest in the campaign. Neither Mr. Dawes nor the president travel with the train

as might be inferred from the name of the lour. Senator Foss, Senator Watson and a Fred Coolidge, adver tised as an old friend and playmate of the president are the speakers through Indiana it is announced. Just how much noise they will make and whether or not the caravan will prove a great argument to the voters, remains to be seen. •John A. M. Adair says: “I promise, it the vo‘t>rs of the eighth district will a-an-l by me, as ! wiu by them vze will brut? back the good times, the clean government and the genetai prosperity we enjoyed a tsw years ago.” And ha means just that. He is not a boy, but a man of experience who has served ten years in congress and knows, the size of the job he!

tackles. He know° what is wrong ini this country and what has to be done to correct the wrongs. He is the kind of a man you would employ and be giad of the opportunity if you were hunting for some one to fill a job, isn't he. He is sensible, safe, careful, a man of affairs who tan ba trusted. :

Flashlights of Famous People

Face to Face With FULTON OURSLER I Editor in Chief of the Macfadden Publications ' (By Joe Mitchell Chapple) 1 When the novel —“Behold This 1 Dreamer,” appeared, blase and sat--1 iated readers of fiction held their breath And exclaimed: “Behold a new novelist has arrived." While this one book has firmly established the fame of Charles Fulton Oursler as one of the greatest of the young American writers, he did not leap into fame without a training that enabled him to tell his story, and to give full sweep to his tremendous imaginative powers. It would deprive a reader of much joy to even oulMne the plots of his stirring narratives which Fulton Oursler has used to convey the glorious story of supreme romance—the romance of a soul seeking for ideals. The vivid picture he has drawn of Baltimore, his birthplace, has embalmed that famous old city in the 1 realm of fiction. With the candor of i native son. he does not fear to tell 1 the truth about his home town. Edu- 1 cated in the public schools up to the seventh grade, young Oursler devel- i aped early in life the purpose of be- 1 coming a writer —that is, a creative < tuthor. He was a reporter—and a 1 lively reporter at that —for his stor- i es never lacked human interest. For i two years he was musical and dra- ! matic critic, and editor of the Musi- < eal Review, which furnished him the < opportunity of studying tempera- ; nental minds, in the making of a i m appreciation for these arts, and i career. Incidentally, ho developed i his appreciation is well woven into ’ he fiber of his first novel. t In writing short stories for the i nagazines, he carried out a plot with <• he force of a novel. Fidelity to 1 deals and the note of ectasy, idyllic tnd tragically sweet in the content- t Ration of that subtle innerself of > turselves. made him a “spinner of -i ales" who never allowed interest to i lag, nor parleys with a non-essen- t tial incident, or a trite paragraph, t His mystery stories were of a dis c ‘inctive type and much in demand s One day he met Mr. Bernarr Mac < adden. the physical culturist and r publisher. He was made editor-in I ■hies of the Macfadden Publications < it the age of twenty-nine, and given 1 he entire responsibility for the edi- ‘ orial work on the eleven publica- I ions, reaching over twelve million eaders a month. This appointment i dgning a position as managing editor : ■ was the sequel of his decision in re I.

The cool period seems to have passed without serious damage to Ir dam J irops. Farmers are encouraged now over the outlook and with two weeks more without frost there are indications of a splendid crop of beets, a air yield of corn and a season much letter than was looked for a few weeks ago. After all this the most satisfactory section of the country,: for if one crop is off a little, we always have something alse to help out. Decatur will build several new pav ; ed streets next year. Fine thing to I do. Progress after all is what counts.)

If we quit improving we soon become back numbers. A little going ahead each year totals up in a decade and makes one community better than another. Show us a town where they hold back on improving and we will show you a “dead one.” We are going ahead here and we are glad to know that the program includes these new paved streets in 1925. Business is improving, general conditions are better, the outlook for a prosperous era is excellent. You can 1 help by boosting instead of knocking., I 1 Reports show a three per cent, gain -ip business during the past sixty days, j That isn’t so much, but it’s up-grade instead of down and that’s the best’ indication we can have.

You will enjoy! it and you should hear thi 3 great ora-! tor as often as you can during the' j ‘ am Paign. He hits straight hard and is cue of the best thinkers in

l 1 *2' \4.. FULTON OURSLER says: “The ecstasy of creation is the greatest reward of an author.” ————————— of a large metropolitan daily, packing his grip and going to New York with a concentrated purpose. In his office, the dark eyes of this thin. wiry, active young man keenly penetrate the pages of his own manuscript; as well as that of thousands of contributors that pass through his hands. Distinctively original, his comment is like a page from one of his books. c "The ecstasy of creation is the greatest reward of an author. When the idea of ‘Behold This Dreamer’ came to me, L couil-d not get at the book quick enough after each day’s work was done. 1 wanted to tell the story of a soul seeking for light. The first vivid scene suggesting the book came to me when I heard the incident of Brooker Washington, tidily and neatly dressed by his slave mother* on Sunday, being pushed into a muddy pool by his cruel companions. Then came the conflict of womanhood ideals —the Venus and the Aphrodite—and I will confess that in the closing chapters the author was in tears while recording the last scenes.” The strongest and distinctive features of Fulton Oursler’s book, is his wealth ’of feeling and spiritual insight into his fellow kind. The critics most universally have hailed Fulton Oursler as possessing the potentialities of a great American writer of his generation. In, complete possession of intensity and scorn of the convention-bound folk, h s grippinr’ message is worked out with skill and humor surcharged with that tremendous, trembling power — Sincerity. This augurs well for his new book—- “ Sandalwood" —a fitting companion book sot "Behold This Dreamer." Fultcn Oursler believes in plumbing the depths of heart and soul express on in poetic phrase, even in •he prosaic pages of fiction prose.

PRAYER Prayer is the spirit's upward yearning,— As leaves lean toward the light. Th« soul longs for the right Toward heaven and home is ever turning. Prayer is the mind with Him communing,— As nature harmonies When soft winds move the trees And music make, the soul returning. Prayer is the heatt in adoration. As binds sing in the morning As light the east adorning, Heart joins the hymn of all creation. —A. D. Burkett. _o MEMORIAM / In memory of Henry Hanley Barker, son of Rev. Pleasant W. and Emma I. Barker, formerly of Adams County, Indiana, who passed away at Farmer City, 111., Sept. 28, 1923. We quote the following lines written by Mrs. Simon 'Smith. How happy we were when all could go when all could go. To Grandma's on the farm. Now one is asleep beneath the sod. And going, has almost lost its charm We must look up with courage When we think of Henry’s joy But its so hard to £o to Grandma’s Without our darling boy. Our loss is nothing to compare With Henry's gain in heaven; We must press on and on until The last storm is outridden. "Going home” what wonderful words, Their meaning no tongue can tell; Little Henry wanted to go Where all is peace and all is Veil. With our dear little boy in heaven, | Done with this world o' sorrow and woe. We thank and praise our God Our tri tls and sorrows Henry will never know. Oh! our hopes to see Jesus And the one who, from us, has gone The way grows brighter and brighter, I “Father lead me gently home.” o DAVIS SPEECH TO BE RECEIVED BY RAIDO HERE (Continued From Page One) been sent here and may be secured from Daniel 11.
