One paper defends his two weeks' absence by declaring he has as much right to be "indisposed" as anyone else. Os course, but why all the mystery and the fuss and worry about where he was? When arrests for drunks become numerous it is evident that someone i g providing the liquor which puts' them in that condition and raids upon the bootleggers follow naturally. For Ci . the benefit of those who may have forgotten it. we suggest it is still un lawful to sell moonshine. Hear John Adair at the court house next Thursday night. He brings yon a message. He will tell you what he knows about the mis-government at Indianapolis a ltd Washington and his ideas of correcting these things. You can help yourself by your vote. That should be your desire and the thini do do is to post yourself by hearing these public talks. The democratic party presents as their candidate for president, John 55 Davis, an able, vocal, aggressive can didate while the republican party of fers you a silent, inarticulate, negative candidate for that high office Compare their records and tell us if you" can why any nation would not prefer a man of the type of John 55 Davis, honest, capable, big and worth while.

If it cost $60,000 more a day now than it did four yeaj-s ago to operate the state of Indiana and $75,000 more than eight years ago, what will be the increase in four years more un der practically the same outfit anc what will that mean to you? Now is the time to stop it and the way te do it is to vote for McCulloch and the democratic ticket. You can easi ly ascertain the facts if you doubt oui statements and you are foolish if yov don't vote for a change in state gov ernnient this year.

The democratic speaking campaign over the county will open Tuesday evem'ng of next week and continue with talks in various parts of the county ea<t night until election. The meetings will be so distributed that every voter will be given an opportunity to hear the issues of this important campaign discussed and al! are invited to attend. Dates are now being arranged for outside speakers to discuss the state and national issues and announcements will be made within th? next few days. Tne election is less than four weeks .away and in the meantime there Is much to be done. The speaking campaign is on. there is organization work, the women should be aroused a 3 well as the men. A lack of inter est always means a light vote which is not the way it should be. Every citizen should take part in political campaigns for we are about to select those who will govern us. Surely you want to know who you will work under the next four years and whether or not those who hold office feel and believe ss yon do.

Flashlights of Famous People

Face to Face With VIVIANI The War Orator Premier of France (By Joe Mitchell Chapple) “France can nevbr grow flowers enough to properly decorate the graves of the brave Americans and allied heroes who gave their all for you and me!” This was the eloquent memorial tribute to the soldier dead who sleep in France, by Viviani, the voice of France at that time. There was a long.long trail leading from the time of that war blaze in

Europe in 1914 until the United States entered the war in 1917. During those three years, Viviani was Premier of France at the outbreak of the war. He came to America with Marshall Joffre and delivered a number of addresses in French to multitudes of people who could not understand his words, but from the oratorial. powers well umferstood his meaning. On every occasion where he spoke. Viviani was equal to the emergency. Hundreds of thousands of American people were delighted and charmed with the musical tones I of the distinguished orator s voice 1 as he made his pleas for France. During the war I met him in Paris, somewhat shorn of his power i heard him speak several times with the old-time fire and vigor. An auditor could not doze or indulge in a reverie while Viviani was speaking. The very gestures with both hands and arms carried the full powered personality of the man. As his arms swung in curves, or were held aloft with a rhythmic sweep, he would plunge both arms forward with a conclusion that seemed to move people to do something, for his most effective gestures were unexpected. His brown eyes, set wide apart in a square head, Viviani looks somewhat more Nordic than Latin. A native of Paris, he began his public career soon after he became a lawyer. Later he became an ardent labor advocate and some of his enemies "ailed him an agitator, but he became a strong political factor, powerful j "nough to become Premier. He impressed America with his eloquence more than any foreigner who ever, addressed the people of the United I States in a foreign tongue. It was logical that Viviani should | be one of the delegates at the Wash-' 'ngton conference. After the war it teemed like a homecoming for himand he cleared the path for his col-' league, Premier Briand, who was: making his first bow to an American ; tudience. At the opening session of the Washington Conference in 1921. Viviani was the first one to make use of the word “tranquility,” which so well expressed the sentiment of the hour. In his address Viviani told

The best way to convince yourself whether there is any difference between democratic and republican rule is to compare cost figures. Lew Ellingliam conducted the office of secretary of state in 1914 for $12,000 while it cost Ed Jackson last year $48,000. You say that’s old stuff. Well, here’s some brand new stuff: It cost $60,421.97 to operate the' in-1 surance department in the state auditor’s office the last year under a republican and last year under Bob Bracken, a democrat, it cost $lB,054.57. It cost $61,788.37 to conduct the banking department under the republican auditor the same year and .under Bracken $36,878.52. That ought to convince every voter and it's correct.

Allen county democrats have arranged for several big political meetings for the final two of the campaign the announcement including an address by Bainbrdge Colby, former secretary of state under President Wilson trnd <a. wonderful speaker on the night of October 18th. Dr. ’ C. B. McCulloch, democratic candidate tor governor, Will tour the 12th district October 23rd and 24th, Senator Pat Harrison, minority leader of the senate will deliver an address at Fort Wayne on the night of November 27th and the campaign will close | November Ist with speeches by Hon. Thomas R. Marshall, former governor and vice-president, and John W.

1 •.'sl ’W'i I ' ‘i. VIVIANI says: “American women are the Inspiri ing force, it seems to me, in the wonders of your young Nation's achievement. They think, a(s well as love.”

i some of the unwritten history of the : war: s “I happened to be at the head of the French government when the war broke out, and as the head of that government I assumed the terrible responsibility of ordering French troops'to withdraw within ten kilometers of our own frontier. I assumed the responsibility of delivering part of my country to the enemy in order to avoid any possible cause of, conflict. To me no words are more .welcome than the words of peace and ! tranquility. I took the responsibility . of waiting until the last moment to order mobilization in a Europe that was shivering and waiting in her armor to meet the foe. I waited until the last hour —the last minute. I waited as long as there was a gleam I of hope, but when that hope was f gone. I assumed the responsibility of ordering mobilization, and France) fought for her independence, the world and the destinies of civilization.” These words have the passionate ring of a Patrick Henry address and tell the story of “C'est la Guerre” — It is war. Turning to Senator Lodge. Viviani in an outburst of eloquence] said: "France can never grow flowers enough for us to decorate as we would the resting place of your soldiers, lying side by side, bj’ their own. mingiftig their dust for the ages to come" Naturally bis oratorical outbursts' suffer through translation, for Viviani is French of the French and ' speaks a language that lends itself j to a most beau' ful expression of the | most subtle human emotions. Cur-j Jous enough the one thing that,l reI member most in travelling with Vivi|ani was that he loved peanuts, and I . wondered if they had circuses and ! peanuts in France. He liked them without salt and insisted that there I was a delicious flavor in the hulls. It was Viviani. the ga'lant. speaking in a musical conversation Jone: “American women are the inspiring force, it seems to me, in the wonders of your young Nation’s achievement. They think, as well as love.”

You have no bins where you may store your food Against hard winter, or. for hungry I brood. But garments. He in wisdom, doth provide; 'And teaches you to seek the sunny side; lln early autumn, leads, by ways unknown, To sing and swing in far off tripic zone. You are but birds. Yet, you are clothed and fed, — Doing His will, find shelter, food and bed. I too, will follow where His hand may lead. And find His orchards for my every need. —A. D. Burkett.

So many abuses of their public trusts on the part of the officials high tip tn the government circles have many people dissatisfied and, suspici■ohs of our government. But let us look well to the American constitution, This immortal document has been written in blood and sacrifice of patriots over centuries. The principles are older than the first America settlement. The Pilgrims landed on Plymouth Rock carrying some of these. The centuries of struggle between the colonies and the English Crown made possible the present Constitution. The Revolution overthrew the English yoke, but left no Union. It .left the Colonists free from England.

but still in the bondage of their own jjealousies and quarrels. Then came I a period anarchy that nearly crushed the hope of the greatest patriots. But with the Divine Providence working through such men as Washington. Franklin, Hamilton. Adams. Madison I and many others, a new* Constitution I was adopted and the foundation of the greater governtneai on earth Lot every voter look well at the history of the Constitution. Through the efforts of Madison, Jafc, and Hamilton the Constitution was adopted by the people. Washington and Hamilton were the great instruments used to establish a firm government. The immortal Jefferson made the new government popular with the people, and gave a real Democracy. The solid “Old Hickory” Andrew Jackson preserved it for the common people. Then Division! Civil war threat-

eneri to cut its life short, but the brave soldiers from the North gave their blood for the preservation of this Constitution. Let every American citizen pause frequently at the pages of Civil War History! Who composed the Union Army? Who answered Lincoln call? Protestant, Catholic, Jew and Negro, native American citizens and recent immigrants. Do you not rechll how the foreigners who had lost the cause of freedom in their native lands came over here and joined the Union Army? Some of the bravest soldiers were Germans who had came over to America after their defeat in the German Revolution of 1848. Is not the Constitution too sacred to be tampered with? Under it the people can get anything they want. The people, not the Supreme Court, is final. Then why should an attach be made upon the Supreme Court?

[it is tree thut the Supreme Court j isometimes declares important laws j unconstitutional. At times this act delays needed legislation, but that is not final. To Illustrate; an Income tax law was passed under Cleveland. The Supreme Court declared the law unconstitutional. But that did not settle the question permanently. The People of the United States secured the sixteenth amendment to the Constitution by regular constitutional process and today we have an income tax law. The Supreme Court need not nnd must not be tampered with. The American people can get what they want, but the process maybe a little longer but much safer. Today Lafollette is running for President upon a platform that would begin to undermine the foundation of our government. He would begin at the Supreme Court, but where would he end? Thon what should wo do? Cooldige lacks the power of leadership. He cannot lead his own party in power. With Coolidge as president for the next four years, blots anil not party will control our government. Thats means that legislation will bo blocked not passed. LaFollette followers will hinder legislation. JxiFolette as president would mean radicalism and danger, a bad domestic policy and no 1 foreign policy. If we are to restore partv rule; if the government is to run safely and progressive; if corruption and special priviledge is to be driven from Washington. then Davis and Bryan must be elected.
