John A. M. Adair will speak at the court house in this city Thursday night and the many friends of the can- , didate for congress in this part of the county will hear this able man discuss the issues of the campaign. Come and bring your friends. First the state committee misses the name of Arthur Gilliom entirely and then finding that stirs up a mess, correct it by mis-spelling his name. , It reminds us of the old story of "Off again, o nagain, gone again, Hooligan.” Senator Harvey Harmon of Princeton. Indiana, will speak at Geneva next Monday night and Hon. George Emerson Francis will address the voters at Berne on the night of the 27th. Both are well versed on state affairs and the addresses will be worth hearing. Today the body of John Schurger, lawyer, farmer, neighbor, friend and outstanding citizen was laid to rest in St. Joseph cemetery and hundreds of friends are sad. His long and useful and straight forward life is finished and the verdict is "well done.” Nevertheless we shall miss this splendid citizen who was faithful to his friends and fair to all and who as a pioneer of this section, did much to build our community. For many decades this sturdy man walked to and from his country residence to his office in th'" city. He had a smile and a cheery word for every one and a helping hand for those who needed it and within his means. Twelve thousand people cheered John W. Davis for an hour rand a half when he spoke at the Cadle Tabernacle at Indianapolis Saturday night and his splendid speech convinced those twelve thousand that he is the right man to elect president of the United States. Clean and able and forceful he is just the opposite of President Coolidge who refuses to say any thing for fear he will say something which might injure his campaign. The people have the right to know where a candidate stands on public questions and ought to know and the silence of the republican candidate is becoming a joke. A swing to Davis is noticeable in the middle west and the results in Indiana on election day will prove it. We have no desire to defend the Sunday picture show but It seem P to be a problem that ought to be settld in away that will effect all towns and cities in the state. Theatres and picture houses have operated in Fort Wayne and all the laqger cities of the state tor years ami during the past year or so. many of the smaller towns have opened their shows on the Sabbath. We all know there is more sir. ind corruption in the larger cities to the square inch than there is to the square mile in the rural sections and It does not better things when aiissionaires from these hotbeds of vice come here to tell us how to be good. If the “blue laws" are to be enforced one place they should be put in effect in the others where really * ■■ x v

I needed. No city, big or little, likes to% be referred to as a "hick town" and ' that's what happens when we go too ' far with law enforcement in spots. The reckless expenditure of money by the republican state administration in the building of the new reformatory at Pendleton ought to be enough to defeat Ed Jackson and his* ticket if there were no other wrongs and there are plenty of them. For the construction of that palace de luxe built to house criminals, an architect wag hired at a fee of 4 per cent .of i the cost of construction. Up to this has amounted to SIIO,OOO and the building is perhaps not more thanj one-third complete. The same architect a few years ago produced the in- 1 sane hospital at Madison. Indiana. | finest in tire state and his fee was only 110,000. Another fat fee was paid to a superintendent of constrution on the Pendleton building, a fee of $75,000. Can you imagine any ness reason for this waste of money, and tell us pray, how long you think any state qan stand such foolishness? Thev <an publish cost figures a yard I long but the fact remains that these expenditures were made and you as taxpayers, have to pay-them. The Berne friends of Arthur L. Gilliom are peeved and rightfully so over the fact that his name was omitted from the big red bills sent broadcast over the state by the republican committee and which carried all the other candidates. It is claimed by Gilliom’s South Bend friends and by others over the state that this was done deliberately because of the fact that he was the one candidate who slipped it over the klan organization and was nominated. Without any explanation the state committee today sent out other bills similar to the first ones and these contain the name of “Arthur L. Gillion. for attorney general.” It is inconceivable that the name of so prominent a candidate •should be omitted from the first bills wnd then after the howl went up his name should be incorrectly spelled. It 1 8 claimed the state committee as •organized is fighting to save Jackson and his crowd and letting the rest of the candidates take care of themselves.
