The money is used for the purpose of lighting a great enemy to mankind, tuberculosis and the record made by those in the . work is sufficient to prove its worth. Mayor Hylan and (Governor Smith, both of New York aye engaged in a hand to hand conflict for superiority in Tammany. From past perform- • antes we advise betting on the governor whose position seems to be as broad as Hylan’s is petty. The mayor ■ wants to be re-elected but it does • look as though he is going at it in a peculiar manner. The President’s message is anything but exciting. It is more a report than a recommendation, urges economy, soft pedals on the world court, declares the farmers need a market, favors the limit of army and ndvy strength and consolidation of railways. The test of his ability will soon be at hand as congress proceeds to do something or nothing. We can cniy wait and see and hope. They have finally fixed it up that ■ a verdict is to be returned that Mrs. Sheatsley, Columbus. Ohio, committed suicide. That may satisfy the court over there but it comes a long ways from convincing the public that the woman killed herself and then crawled into the furnace or tjjat she could get through a fourteeninch opening on trr a bed of bluewhite coals and close the door. There is certainly a missing chapter to the story. President Coolidge went to Chicago last night and instead of order ing his special car. he boarded a regular train and occupied a drawing room, his idea being to practise the 'economy he is preaching. Thats just wliai th. country needs though its' not the persidcnt’s personal expensestha* cause; complaints. Its an army) iA, useless employes. The dismissal Zs one of these swivel chair artists r would more than take care of the expense of a train to Chicago, but the thrift of the president and his pge to congress indicates he may get to that part of the program soon.

Branch, in a statement issued here today enthusiastically eu- -> dorsed the present Sale of Tuberculosis Christmas Seals in Indiana, which is being conducted by local associations under the direction of the In 1 diaua Tuliercdlosis Association, in ninety-two counties of the state. The Governor also called on the clergy of ! the state everywhere to observe next Sunday. December 7, as "Tuberculosis Sunday." saying it gave him ‘genuine pleasure" so to do. The Governor's statement came in a letter to Murray, A. Auerbach, Executive Secretary of the State Association, and goes on to say: “I have of course known of the ravages of tuberculosis, but your statement that 132,000 persons die annually in the United States of this disease and that this makes an aver s-ge of 400 each day during the entire I year is strikingly appalling. I am I also acquainted with the fact that I with proper effort this death rate can I be substantially reduced,' as it al-1 ready has been. j “Inasmuch as the subject is a most I meritorious one it gives men genuine I pleasure to request the churches I throughout Indiana to take special I notice of the worthy work of the In I diana Tuberculosis Association to I ' ward the prevention of disease and I the saving of human life on Sunday.
