Foreign Representative Carpenter & Company, 123 Michigan Avenue, Chicago, AND NOW THIS— The 1925 session ot the legislature will convene early in January and for sixty days most of us will be sitting on the edge of our chairs, fearful of legislation which will interfere with our business, our personal rights and create more expense and higher taxes. The program as mapped out by the republican leaders, it 1 is now announced, Include these as 1 the principal measures: — The bill for a state constabulary ] of at least 125 members. This is 1 likely to pass. ’ I Censorship of the motion pictures ( and the theater. ~ Strict Sunday regulatory laws. A new and drastic liquor enforce- J merit code. j Abolishment of the Memorial day speedway race and of Sunday base- l ball. I A bill for regulation of commercial automobiles and t/ucks placing" them . under the public service commission , There is a strong sentiment for this i measure. The bus men are opposing t placing control in the hands of the 1 t public service commission, preferring , the highway commission. , A bill to make the study of the ‘ Bible compulsory in the schools. ' The county unit school bill. A bill for abolishment of the state i wide primary. . A bill to increase the gasoline tax ■ to 3 cents a gallon. 1 The movement toward centralization, for better or for worse, goes marching on. Two schools of observers, pro and eon, are at outs concerning it. But no such difficulty is encountered in diagnosis of some compl cations which arise or which will arise if the new objectives of centralization are reached. The child labor amendment grants congress a right to prohibit employment of persons less than 18 years old. Given this piivilege, it is impossible to say in advance just how far congress would proceed n that direction. But the authority in itself bodes a collision with another privilege conferred by law in several states. Given parental < cnsent. hoys of 1G may become 1 husbands in Texas, lowa and Utah.' They may marry at 11 in four states' — I.eui-iunt, New Hampshire, Virginia and Kentucky — and at 17 in four Kansas, Georgia, Arkansas and .Mabaina. It is obvious that hus- 1 bands of these ages could not be rc-' lieved of the responsibility of family support, or actually compelled to f'lngo that duty, without causing de-' elded domestic disturbances of > a most lamentable nature. Yet the task’ t < f making a federal child labor law to fit a’l local conditions would be } religious.—St. Paul Pioneer Press.

Face to Face 'I With J Countess Karolyi I Hungarian Patriot J j' (By JOE MITCHELL CHAPPLE) I I When Countess K.irolyl landed in 1 New York from Europe the Security i League protested. Insisting that she i was known as "The Red Catherine ■ of Europe." The American passengers who left her on the boat and her! j sponsors in New York insisted that she was not even pink in her I an endorsement that would honor a j: nd endorsement that would honor a candidate for Congress Standing on the deck of the vessel . as it entered New York harbor, with face upturned as if in wo-ship, she I exclaimed to her fellow passengers: "At last my dream has come true!" She pointed at the heroic figure of ' Liberty holding her torch aloft. "How

proud you Americans' should be of that symbol," she said. While Kossuth rode down Broadway amid thundering roars of applause. Countess Karolvi, inspired by dreams of the Hungarian patriot, dashed down Broadway in a taxi, free from the threat of deportation. Rather slender and rc.fl. with deep gray eyes and an animate face, the Hungarian exile speaks English distinctly with but a slight, piquant accent. She is of the strong athletic type of woman. She has a sincere unaffected and lucid manner of ex pressing herself. While she was born in Hungary and reared in the at mospbere of' the Hapsburg court, she is a democrat of democrats. In her early days she had an English government who told her much about America. [ "In my early ‘teens," she declares.' “1 read Max Nordnus' Conventional | 'Lies,' an dthAt further enhanced myi interest in America. In those days' we young girls were kept away-from the thought of doing anything useful. We might spend hours preparing for some great function that would last only a few minutes but were forbidden to spend even a few minutes in some usetul occupation. Sometimes we would arise at four o'clock in the morning to comb our hair ami dress to bask for a few minutes in the light of royalty at the court. Even professional mm. artists and literary people were despised in our set. They were considered r.o better than serfs. "When I first began to study the, world about me 1 heard of Count Michael Karolyi and of his visits to America. Before the war he had J

wung wide and his sled struck a ear coming around the corner. Only the fact that the car he hit carried over- ; zed tires saved him from serious injury and perhaps death. The police should stop the practice of the boys tobogganing on Second street and , especially behind autos, before an accident occurs. The talk of a real leader for the democrats is again going the newspaper rounds and thats all bosh. , John W. Davis was a real leader if he had received enough votes to have i , made him president; Jimmy Cox i wou'd have proven big enough for the job; what we need is about five , million people who have the good , ense to see that centralization of power towards which we are drifting is a bad thing and who will vote Vhc democratic ticket. The leadership problem will be the easiest part, of the program to take care of. No one would have selected Calvin Coolidge as a leader but with the power of his office back of him, he is so recognized. We hope every subscriber to the Daily Democrat who receives the I paper by mail, will renew during the month of January. Each year at this season we make this effort and it has proven a popular method. This year we celebrate our twenty-second j anniversary in the daily field and we I hope to continue as your home paper lor many years to come. Renew this t month and have your neighbor subscribe.

made an earnest plea in our Parliament for a Democracy for Hungary. The heir to a large estate, the second largest in the country, he offered It [to the peasants. While three-fourths of our people engage in argiculture, they do not own the land they till. | "When the war broke out he was returning from America. When he reached France he was interned. Soon after he arrived home we were married."

The honeymoon was spent amid the |tragedies of the war. but the Count . and Countess threw themselves into . the work of helping the wounded and • 'disabled soldiers, and found a real enjoyment in doing it. They were never in sympathy with the Kaiser. • When the armistice was signed Count Karolyi was the logical man , to become President of the Republic. For six months Countess Karolyi was the "First Lady of the Land” in Hungary. She worked hard, night and day, by the side of her husband instead of gracing the social functions. Then came the tide of Bolshevism, and tn save human blood Count Karolyi retired, hoping that something might be saved out of the inevitable ehoas. The Admiral Horty government ordered the banishment [of the Count and Countess, and the i confiscation of their estate. Their [land was appropriated for the "Vietz” or Hero Fund —awarded to those who ;had fought against the Allies. The Horty government establishment a regency and now awaits the Choice of a king. In England the Countess even made preparations to become a chauffeur to earn a living for the family of three children. “Then came our friends, the Americans, who suggested this lecture tour—and here I am to toll the story of my exile.” "America.” says the Countess, "has proved what can be done in Hungary. With over a million and a half less voters than we had before the war our Liberal movement is handicapped on every hand, but I have faith that 've can make an American Hungary as you have made Hungarians Americans.”

1925 BUSINESS - PROSPECTS GOOD: I I I All Indications Point To Good Year For Business In Indiana Indianapolis, Ind., Dec. 29. —All indications i>oint to a good year for business in Indiana during 1925. I George Mosser, Secretary of the Indiana State Chamber of Commerce .predicted today. Although no boom is expected, conditions should be particularly good (luring the first half of 1925. he said. A big impetus has already been given business and it will show the full affects of it during the next few months In fact busincsss started to arouse itself from its stagnant condition about last July in certain lines. • Certain phases of the furniture industry and the iron and steel industry are in the most active condition at the present time and have the most prosperous outlook, the secretary declares. j “The utility branch of the furniture industry, which produces articles such as kitchen cabients is ’ doing well. Indiana leads the world in the manufacture of kitchen cabinets and it is a large portion of tho industry of the state,” Mosser said. “Most of these have been well supplied wjth orders for the last four of five months and have orders for some months ahead. '“The non-utility branch of the furniture industry although not in a bad way. is not quite so active. ‘The clay products industry is not up to normal being very much dependent upon building operations, paving and fire brick, but is looking up,” ho said. Much of the activity is caused by price reduction-.’’ ) | The greatest activity is reported . from the Calumet region," Mosser ' said. Industries there arc going at a 1 .strong clip, partly for sentimental reasons thus far. in belief that elimination of the Pittsburgh plus is go- ’ ing to be a great benefit to steel users. The Inland Steel Company at In- ; diana Harbor has completed tho erection of its four blast furnaces cost- . tog a total of $3,000,000 and i a to double its capacity of production. . i'hc Tenth blast furnace has been -. fired at the Gary works of the United 1. States Steel Corporation with pret- parations being made to fire another. The Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad I. and Illinois Central Railroad have i- each ordered appondmately 12.00'J tons of rails from the Inland Steel

company. Th#» American Stert Foundry at Gary la operating at aeventy-five per cant of capapity. Moaner said, and offlciala of th* company anticipate heavy buying movement of railroad equipment in the aprlng. The American Sheet and Tin Plate Mills at Gary have juat put two hot • mills into operation. Workmen are being employed night nnd day for the completion of a new mill for the National Tube Company which, when finished will employ 2,300 men in hoth the pipe and skelp divisions. Workers are flocking to Indiana Harbor for building operations (here. During tho year construction valued at 34,500,000 was started and com pletcd. The incrased activity in the Calumet region is having a stimulating affect on the industries in the surround ing cities In northern such as La porte, Valparaiso and Michigan City where a large amount of the raw rteel products are used for fabrication in to manufactured articles in the jdants in these cities. South Bend is sharing the prosperity. At the factory of the StudeInker Corporation, the number of employes has been increased from 8.100 to 13.000 in the past four months. Both Fort Wayne and Indianapolis, while not experiencing booms have* shown industrial improvement. Operations of the plant of Colgate and Company which took over the buildings of the Indiana Reformatory it Jeffersonville, are getting into full' swing with additional activity expect- j cd. The Pennsylvania and Big Four' railroads are to spend large sums of money there to construct additional terminal facilities to eliminate the crowded conditions of their terminals at Louisville, New Albany is also get-' ting the benefit of improved condi- i’ tions. The Wabash Railroad is to constrnet a >1,500.008 terminal and shops at Peru which will attract 800 new families to the city and employ 2,000 men. A new canning factory and a metal plating concern are to locate tn Ply- ■ mouth. LaPortc is to have two new plants. Conditions are improving iu the gas belt etties. The Remy Manufacturing company’s plant one of the largest industries in Anderson is improvliig. The wire factories there and at [Kokomo are increasing in activity [also. Kokomo, however, has been rather hard hit by the failures ot the Haynes Automobile Company and the AppeYson Automobile «ompany. Newcastle has landed a branch plant of the Circle A. Products Company which will employ approximately 300. The plant of the Chrisler •Automobile plant at Detroit has ship-[ ped additional machinery there to the Maxwell Motor company for expansion which will put an additional 1,500 men to work. z Q_ ELKS NOTICE There will be a meeting of the Elks lodge Tuesday evening at 8 o’clock.
