Foreign Representative Carpenter & Company, 123 Michigan Avenue, Chicago, Better roads Is the best work lor any community at this time. Other community affairs come and go but the question of highways is a permanent one and the efforts now will be judged In the next several decades. Lets do it well, lets be sensible, lets be careful but lets do it. It is reported that more than a thousand places in Chicago are openly dispensing beer, wine and whiskey. If this be true the police certainly know it and if they shut their eyes to these law violations it is reasonable to expect them to laugh off other more serious crimes and misdemean ors. Mayor Lew Shank has sent word to Senator Jim Watson that it looks to him as though its “good bye Jim in Indiana politics, lake care of your self,” but Jim is a fighter and not easily frightened so they may make the fur fly two or three ways during the next eighteen months. Then it will all be settled by ballot. Secretary of State Charles E Hughes has resigned, effective March 4th and Hon. Frank Kellog, present ambassador to England will succeed him. Mr. Hughes is rated as one ol America’s greatest lawyers and retires to again replenish his forUWtc. Thats what every honest man has to do evidently after four years in public service at Washington. Ed Jackson became governor today and z hie actions especially for the nen< few months will be closely watched. If he makes good as the governor of all the people he will be g ien due credit while on the othei hand if he is handled by the heads of certain factions and thus repru Scots only a part of the citizenry of Indiana, he will be criticised and he will find his administration a difficult period of liis public service. A Terre Haute repcresentative has prepared four or live bills aimed at the parochial schools of Indiana. One of them would put them entirely out of business while any of them would greatly interefere with any private school. It is claimed that tile klar controls sj^iy-five of the one hundred of the house and tonne qixnljC mo i mJ thing may be ex p< 'Jjw. The surprise is that the great SljjF' <>f Indian.l would let (Imm "dip uB“ over" but it begins to L.,de ~ though 'they bail done just that. Dob Tucker says the paramount features of the 1935 session of the ! leyl: l.uure will be these: The anti- ' ]>;ir<e hial school bills, county unit biH. th- lull to abolish the primary, one to Increase gasoline taxes fifty ' per cent, the proposed state constabulary. atiprofn:al Inns, efforts to ana nd He -tiite tax law and the uuti ualooii league | ilw cuforccuieut program. Well that might to be enough to provide spicy reading lor every one interested in the welfare of his state. Ac'oruuig to information published ycMterday and evidently with an est rt at correctness, Chicago is the wiet.-ded (ity in (be world. Since tli" l.oeb ami Leopold trials, the avrr.ige has been a murder a day to .say uothipj of thouauuds of hold-ups. ue i •.curler... arson and crimes of

There seems to be a reneral epdemic of ‘laughing at iw” every where and only stiff senences and speedy ones will correct t. The annual banquet of the Decatur ndustrial Association this evening is i very important event, including the lection of those men who will manij;e th s organization during the next year. It should be remembered as ■residua Bulk recently said that the ; 'M’iatiim i not a retail merchants! sn-iation, not a credit association, tot for the benefit of any few per■oils but for the general good of the ■ommunity.

These heartireaking accidents seem to come to ■very <ommunity and we can only, ■esolvc to lie more careful. The rathe problem is becoming more serious each day, week, mouth and! year and will so continue as the number of cars increase. The sym-j pathies of every one arc extended to Mr. Baker ami to Mr. Chronister and to all the relatives of those who participated in the awful disaster.

It is Just like a letter from home to receive the ‘‘Democrat.” That 20-year stuff is great to an old timer like myself. I was talking to an old timer that receives his paper in Oklahoma and he says it is the. first thing he I looks for upon receiving his paper. ,It brings back things very vividly that | had leaked out of the casket of memory. But anyhow she Is a good old paper for the boys that have left Decatur and old Adams county. And still much better for the boys right there at home. With best wishes for the prosperity of the daily, 1 am as ever, your friend, H. A. Fristoe. Editor: — Inclosed you will find check for $3.50 as renewal to the Daily Democrat. While we have news and newspapers here in abundance The Daily Democrat still has a prominent place in our home. I am always glad to receive the news and details as brought in your paper from our former home rfnd county. We are well and thankful to God for such rich blessing. Our winter weather is quite cold and continued. But not as severe as I noticed that Fort Wayne and Adams county had It. Nor not so very changeable. , School facilities are good. We attend the M. E. Church of which we are members, having transferred our letter from the Mennonite church of B 'me to the M. E. Church here soon after we came here. Splendid church activities, good pastor as leader, Dr Idle, who has been here for several years. Many of the State Normal < students attend the M. E. Church. The Normal has this year an enroll- j ment of about 2.500 students. Population of Ypsilanti is 11.000 besides the 2.500 students. Three hundred new homes were built last year. More later as I did uot intend to write a letter, but wanted to renew the subscription and just gave a few of my appreciated expressions. Your truly Menno S.
