Ralston will I open the democratic campaign in this city with a speech at the court house! next Tuesday evening. And he can' open ’em. That "Me and Sarah” stuff of Lew Shank's was political bunk pure andj simple. Lew's engagement to wed ’ Mis. Eva Findley of Kendallvllle, was announced yesterday. Just remember that It is costing! *75,000 more a day to operate the state of Indiana now than it did eight I I i years ago and then be sure to register 1 so you can vote against this extravrgance. And along with other things be i sure to remember, for your own good and that of the community, that October sth to 11th ’is Fire Prevention J Week, when we are supposed to see , that every precaution is taken to pre- ] vent fire s during the winter. Seven- : ty five per cent, of the conflagrations i ' in this state are preventable. — ( Frank Schramm, a twenty-year-old Fort Wayne boy stole fifty cents and was sentenced to prison for a term of from one to eight years. That’s the. injustice of things. Real criminalsj who commit murder, deepest steal millions, get no worse punish ment than will be inflicted on this boy who could have been saved for a useful life perhaps. Think it over. •■This country is not large enough for more than one government” wan the reply of Dr. C. B. McCulloch in answer to an inquiry\ps to where he stood on the klan question. He believes in the constitution of the Unit ed State s as does every good citi zen. Any organization which destroys that document in spirit should not ■and cannot live and this seems to be quite an issue in the campaign this year. There is only one right position to take. Dr. McCulloch took it.

There are fifty to seventy people in every precinct in Adams county who cannot vote unless they register between now and October 6th. This; includes first voters and these who moved from one precinct to another. Here is a year when the most important issues are before you, when the question of whether taxes will continue to soar for four year s or not, whether you'will be "bossed’' bv a' I ', 'eatrallied government at Indian apolis or be permitted to conduct your own affairs, and many other matters o£ great u.terest are before you. Sure- ! ii 4ft so you must register. Don't delay ‘his duty.

No man in Indiana Is so well qualified to tell the voters about the actual conditions in Washington where government has been about as rotten a: it could be and exist, as Senator Ral s‘.on, who will speak here Tuesday night. As the Junior senator from Indiana he devoted his time during the entire session in studying affairs of government. He has been on the firing line in Indiana for forty years I and the voters of Adams county will be glad for the opportunity to hear 1 him discus:; the issues of the 1924

Face to Face With James W. Wadsworth Benator From New York (By Joe Mitchell Chappie) Around the legislative halts in Albany, ew York, they called him "Jimmie” Wadsworth, the youngest man ever elected speaker of the assembly. Elected Senator of the United States froyi the Empire State at the age of thirty-eight James Wolcott Wad*worth launched a national career, thoroughly trained for the work. His father was Congressman from the home district for many years and the son naturally absorbed much.concerning public aftiairs in the companionship of his father. Born on a farm at Genesee, New York —a farm that has been in the family for ninny generations—he can make good in the claim of being a dirt farmer. After graduating from Yale in 1898, he took up the pursuit of farming seriously—from crop to market. A general farming business at Mount Morris was the start, but he became later manager of a large ranch in Texas and wore the broad brimmed hat of a Texas ranger. The free life of the ranch helped him to cultivate the hail fellow- spirit of political ways. Chosen a delegate to the National Republican Convention in 1908, he began to step off a lively pace in political advancement blit his reputation for conservative judgment was

I for one far beyond his years. A veter‘■an of the Spanish-Ameriean War and living much in the outdoors, he built | up the physical strength for a vigorjous and strenuous campaigner. Scon after he arrived in Washington he was conceded to be one of the best debaters on the floor of the Senate, for when he reached a conclusion there was a basis for it. Far into the night I found him at | work in the room of the Senate Committee on Military Affairs during that long summer session, where he worked out some of the most vexatious problems in the reorganization of the army after the war. The highly colorted mural and ceiling decorations of i this committee room did not seen to .detract from his concentrated apiplication to th(? work before him. t In 1902 he maried Alice Hay. daughter of the late Secretary of State John Hay. Mrs. Wadsworth has won .considerable distinction s a v.-rftt+ [and a poet. They have an interesting • family and Senator Wadsworth is detvoted to his children as his father iwas before him and has given them a chance to know what father is doing. | A power in the politics of Nev.- • York, Senator Wadsworth has raaini tained a leadership withdht demolish-,

campaign. The meeting will be held tinder the auspices of the Adams County Jefferson Club and everybody it invited. If Harry Daugherty thought he was frightening John W. Davis by his scurvy letter concerning the Gaston Means repudiation of his evidence before the committee which he denied a few- hours after it was published, he has another think coming. Mr. Davis replied yesterday and if D3Ugherty had the idea that the democratic candidate was trying to "veil" anything

he Imd that cleared up in the letter which was direct and forceful. He called attention to the facts that Means was employed by Daugherty and that as he was a man without character, he should never have been placed in the important position giv*>n him; that Daugherty and his brother refused to appear before the investigating committee and that his actions throughout the hearing produced a painful impression upon the country. And Mr. Coolidge knows it. In 1914 Lew Ellingham of this county was the secretary of state and the actual expense of maintaining the office that year was $12,861.50. Compare ttjat to last year under Jfid Jgck son in the same office, when his expense was $47,655.28, nearly fouT tines as much. That is the idea evidently in vogue in the state house now. land Ed Jackson is asking that you I elect him governor of the state. Isn’t jit time to go back to normalcy in I I management of public affairs? That • <

Senator James W. Wadsworth says: “The people are at heart in favor of the widest possible liberty in business and the conduct of their own lives.” ing other careers or appealing to tiemogogic practices, for he is courageous and practical, even facing a popular storm in his vote against weei-iu suffrage and prohibition. As a campaigner he proved his prowess, but it ’is in his clear headed work in the committee room and on the floor of the Senate that he has established his reputation. His plurality in 1920 was upwards of a half millon votes, breaking all records of a Senatorial majority in the history of Ne w York. His army service in Battery A, Pennsylvania FTeld Artillery, and in the Porto Rican campaign gave him a "eloseup” of army life and management. His tall and commanding figure, and virgorous gesture, high forehead, clear blue eyes, and round full tones indicate, a typical, vigorous, red blooded* and two fisted political leader. “Public problems grow out of necessities. The people are at heart in favor of the widest possible liberty in business and the conduct of their own lives. While there are times that the force of the law- must interfere and check evil tendencies, the country is becoming tired of so much useless legislation. The ability of the people to govern themselves without federal, bureaucratic interference is more apparent now than at any time in our history.” While Senator Wadsworth seldom discusses any matter without a serious look, he has a keen sense of humor that has foiewed him since the merry days at college. A student of literature as well as law. with strong leanings toward his chosen vocation as a farmer, he is making the years of his public life count. Having the advantage of an early start he was trained to the job; “A political leader born to attract votes” is the wfty iiis friends speak of Senator Wadsworth.

We admit that there is cause < for some increase in office expense for there is more automobile bttsi- 1 t •ness to take care of, hut a few clerks will do that and there can be no valid f excuse for the expenses being four! times as much as ten years ago.

The boiling point depends on pressure ns well as temperature. Water can be made to boil by either raising the temperature or by reducing the pressure Theoretically, then, if nil the atmosphere were removed from the earth the pressure would he zero and the water of tiie ocean would boil and turn Into vapor.

Just What Is Beauty? Beuu:y cannot be described, sinev what seems beautiful to one may he plain to another.
