Let’s make it snappy. ■" ' These wonderful October days 1 should not mislead you in the belie! i that it will continue during the next ( four or five months. How about your , winter supply of fuel, how's the furnace or the stove? The next two or three weeks will likely bring a cold snap that will remind you that thrift is a fine thing. The big job on election day i s getting out the vote and the only way it can or will be done is for those who take an interest in politics to get busy. That requires some organiza tion and this should be done now in every precinct. The election will be held two weeks from next Tuesday and it behooves every citizen to take a part in this event. John A. M. Adair will address the voters of this community at the court house Thursday night. You all know him and know that he is well versed in the great issues of the campaign. His ten years in congress, his close contact with the political affairs of the state and nation provide him with plenty of amunition in this campaign and his address will interest you. Be sure to attend this meeting. We "strain at gnats and swallow camels” when we talk about the other fellow's morals in thi s country. We criticize the acts of our neighbors and then do something worse. If we are to be straight-backed we should ail do it. We admit it might lx better if we could get back to simple living, the worship of God in a sincere manner, and careful living, but it’s a difficult thing to do in this day and ajge. A lot of us would howl if v.e hid to tie "Lizzie” up over over 1 Sunday of if some one criticized us for taking a ride, eating enough for 1 three or four, taking a traction ride, 1 fishing a little on Sunday or doing a 1 lot of other thing s that most people ' get by with.

Face to Face With Dr. Janies L. Gordon A Popular Preacher (By Joe Mitchell Chapple) While <jongreg;Mlons|in the churches in some cities are dwindling, it was an experience for me to stand in line outside the church for entrance in three cities of the United States where Dr. James L. Gordon was to preach. Standing up I even recognized the contribution box and heard I a sermon on the old-fashion Congregation doctrine expounded with all the force and vigor of the Pilgrim fathers and it commanded the close interest of every auditor. 1 felt like adding to my mite when he concluded. Dr. Gordon has the ear of thou , sands of people whom he interests in old-fashioned, down-to-date religion rather than theology. A commanding appearance, a kindly man. he fills a pulpit with the blaze of sincerity.! More than that, he seems to say things that make you nod your head n approval rather than in sleep. Describing a man pronounced his double in Winnipeg, Dr. Gordon could not have described himself better: “In height, five feet eight; in weight. 198; in appearance, stout, 1 heavy of mustache, large of ear, who! speaks with a pronounced American • accent in away that attracts Amer-; icans.” He might have added a picture of sturdy kindliness' Every sentence and idea is clearly understood, re-! freshingly new and charmingly old. Now and then a torrent of eloquence, pours forth; then hb will stop and .hat in the most colloquial way with 1 his audience. It would be difficult to select any one of the thousands of epigrams that shine out like nuggets i of golden thoughts in his sermons. His big hartedness is always expressive. for he is a sort of an old-fash-ioned minister whom you want to. have around at a christening, in ill- : ness. at a social function, or meet n every day work, and havy him at: your fimecal. He is the sort of aI man v. ho can sympathize as weil as scathingly denounce. Young couples regard it a distinc- 1 tion in San Francisco today to be married by Dr. James L. Gordon, for he preaches a wedding sermon and j gives advice that prevents divorce troubles at the start. Presenting a Heart Throbs” book to some of the wedded couples, the first selection in ’ he book catches their eye., This outburst of joy coming from a wife, is i significant and appropriate senti-, ment in these days when the high percentage of divorce is discounting

I \ JjF * DR. GORDON says: I “Writing out the notes of my ser'mon 1 individualize people. I have characters in my mind as distinct as if I were writing a novel.” the marriage vow as the flippant jest of flapper and flopper. While James Logan Gordon was born in the city of Brotherly Love, sometimes called Philadelphia, or city 'of Andanti movement, he has kept up ' a Rinsto movement ever since pri'vate tutors battled with him over Latin conjugations. Eleven years 'after his marriage, he began his pastoral career, being ordained a Congregational minister in St. John's, New Brunswick later filling pulpits in Toronto and Winnipeg. During his | residence in Canada, there were no boundary lines. He sang the "Maple 'Leaf" as heartily as "America.” Called to the Congregational Church in j Washington, which President Cool- ! idge now attends, his sermons during I the World War cheered many a faint and bleeding heart of those who had > lost their loved ones overseas. In 11920 he was called to the Pacific I Coast by 1 the First Congregational ' Church in San Francisco. “Standing ' room only” is the signa! from the i threshold of this church to those who are late when Dr. Gordon preaches in these days. i In his study he is the same Dr. I Gordon as in the pulpit—jovial. ■ There is but one thought uppermost i in his mind: “Do something for every- ' one you may meet, individually or ! collectively.” My visit will ever remain an inspiration. “Writing out the notes of my seri mon 1 individualize people. I have ; characters in my mind as distinct as •if I were writing a novel. While we ■ deal fundamentally with the scrip--1 tures, it is the human being we must ‘ consider.” The trend of his sympathetic soul is indicated in the title of his books, “Individuality in the Young Man and His Problem." which appeared in 11911. "AH’ Love That's All Law” was the title of his second book. His addresses are in themselves books that have a song like running brooks and his remorse are stopping stones to right living and thinking.

Midst the pleasant, peaceful pastures Stands the nation’s school of war. * In a chapel, there, her heroes Honored are. by plates of bronz,— Men who fought and died for freedom Who in dark hours, saw the dawns, Men who worshipped at the alter Os the rights of all mankind. Courageous men. whose faith ne'er faltered. Strong of spirit, broad of mind, — But. one tablet, there, is nameless. Just a hole gouged in the plate. Midst the honored, one dishonored; Such the traitor's awful fate. When or where he died, unwritten, The day occurred when he was born; Nameless —blotted out,—forgotten,— Yefe remembered, thus to warn. Heed that warning, O ye pilgrims Landing on lighted shores; Ye who come from other countries Knocking at these magic doors, Love oiir laws and love our language. Our constitution and our pod. Love the U. “8. A. or tread not On the hills where heroes trod. * —A. D. Burkett < ► The People’s Voice | » 1,, , 1 WHY? ■Editor Democrat: , Speaking of honoring famous people, why should we construct some meaningless inanimate object as a momento to them- Suppose a monument was put up in honor of one of Adams county's daughters, a literary woman of what advantage, benefit or use would this -be to her or to us or to anyone? Hasn't she already ■ erected a monument ’surpassing anything we might do? I would think , that there were more ways than one that a person might be apprised of the standing he or she occupies in the affections of their fellow citizens. Why not beautify the state highway * through Adam 3 county and honor it ► with some recreational center (such as a park) modeled into a thing of beauty and christened after her. 9 Every effect has its cause; every ► Caesar his Brutus. Why does not u hundred per cent, vote tur.n out at .• election? Why is it 60, 50, 70. or 80 '■ per cent, of our citizens avail their *' selves of the franchise? Is there a cause? Certainly not time is one, 0 Disgust is another while plain indifference i g a third. It looks like a lot g of the followers of the present administration would be subject to the seci. ond cause this fail. The average man be he democrat, republican, Ins dependent of what not, wants good i government, he wants protection, he i- wants good schools, roads, etc., that he might have a good and honest liv- '- ing. He expects a fair return on his i investment that ha puts in, in the nature of tax. He helps pay the sal1 _ ary from the lowest to the highest o£-

•' ficial and expects them to function) | honestly. Because officials have fal}* : en down with their honor has disgust! ed many voters and tends to turn! ■ them to the class of the indifferent. 1 Government was no accident. Iti Is a necessity. People today are tiiotQ interested in the peculiar functioning of government than formerly. As every one knows our government Is not coalition. It Is party. Each par' ty when in power taking credit foti what it'does alnl assuming the blame thereof, also. Thus the scandals uni betrayal of trust in our federal gov eminent -are easily placed upon thi shoulder s of the party where the) belong. In comparing the last demo cratic administration with the pres ent republican one, the advantage is all with the former. In taking tht case before the people. Mr. Davis should easily be credited with th< heaviest artillery. Perhaps this is why Mr. Coolidge does not venturi forth to give him battle. However the advent of a progressive party in the campaign may twist the vote al out of alignment temporarily if not permanently. Are farm conditions changing? An there any lessons to be learned from this year's crop conditions? Now what all of a sudden caused grains to advance in price? Did burapet crops cause Did shutting dowt of the seaboard trade cause it or i.« it is case of supply and demand wit) supply being short. What is the so lution for all our herds of tnongre cows through the country? Will w< always have the dairy mixed wit), the beef type? Should not we soor be separating the chaff from the wheat? Speaking of crime, it can b< compared to war among nations. Eacl is subject to mild attempts at preven tion and then much locking of doors after the act. Each bring the shewd est men to the front. Each put mon emphasis on punishment than pre vention. Each seeks to offset thr force of the other. In war the shield offset the sword, then pow’der thf shield. On ships armor offset tht shell and vice versa until the fragih airplane offsets all bulky force. Where is the finish? Yours respectfully, JOHN SMITH, farmer. RILEY PATIENTS Now that the James Whitcomb Ri ley Hospital for Children is ready tc receive patients, interest attaches tc the law under which they will b« admitted to the institution. The act of 1921, authorizing construction ol the hospital and making it a de partment of Indiana University, sayr that any child under sixteen years of age and having a legal residence in any Indiana county, “and afflicted with a defect, disease or deformity presumably curable or improvable by skilled medical and surgical treatment, or needing special study for diagnosis.” may be admitted and discharged under such rules as the hospital management may adopt. It empowers any circuit, criminal or juvenile court of the state to commit to the hospital any child "whe shall appear to the satisfaction of such judge, after a public hearing, to be buffering from a disease, defect or deformity, which may be benefited by treatment in the said hospital, and whose present or legal | guardian is not financially able to i defray the necessary expenses of such treatment.” Application tor admission may be filed by any citizen of the county in which the child lives, after which a summary hearing is held and. it necessary, the • judge may order the child exam i ined by one or more reputable physii cians. If the child is found to be a - fit subject for reatment in the host pi tai the clerk of the court is di- - reded to file formal application for - admission with the hospital author- > ities. Blanks for this purpose have ' been distributed throughout the - state. When the application is aci eepted the court appoints a suitable s person to accompany the patient to f the hospital. Cost of care and treat- > ment is to be paid by the county . wlieie the child lives. The law says ' that “no compensation, however, t shall be charged or allowed to the > physician, surgeon or nurse for the f treatment or care of any such patient, other than the compensation ■' paid therefor by the Indiana Unia versity.”—lndianapolfc News, t i Atlantic City, N.
