What we are looking for with a spy glass is some proposal in the legislature which will reduce taxes, save the state some money, evidence that long talked of program of economy. Where is It? The editor of the New Orleans Picyune has discovered that its no longer the wild life in the forests that bothers us and threatens de ■Unction but the “wild life" in the cities. The Indianapolis News suggests that the legislature make the gasoline tux fifty cents on the gallon and thus solve the parking problem. Not so bad at that for while solving th< parking riddle it will also save a 10l of fellows from bankruptcy. Indiana now ranks fourth in edu cation in the United States and it i: claimed that if the same system wai used as that of a few years ago whet we were in seventeenth place, we would now be first. If this be trm perhaps we can afford to wait and watch a little before making new and drastic laws. Indianapolis has two republican city chairmen and have gone to court to settle matters. They also have twe distinct factions, apparently more bit-, ter with each other than with imy-hp posing party. It mupt. be great to havi such a majority that you can cut il in twain and still win by thousands Cau they do it? It has been figured out carefully that if every automobile which visits Indiana, bearing a foreign license plate, could be induced to remain on< extra day, it would mean an addition of seventy-five millions to the stale each year, which is to say, they would spend that much more. That's a good mark to shoot at. The Hoosier Stall Automobile Association is campaign ing to secure that. To win out they need the co-operation of every com munity. The more pleasant we make it here for the touri-'ts, the more we will have and the longer they will stay. Perhaps its worth while. The trend of the legislature and the stale highway commission seems to lie to eradicate all railroad crossings on stall' roads as soon as possible which means they must either go over or under them. In this connection when tlie road is constructed from here north it is likely that if there is any way to tunnel uudcr the G It. 4- 1. just north of Monmouth this will be done, thus getting rid of t dangerous crossing and vuakiug a clear road from here to Fort Wayne. The attitude will no doubt be uot to make these changes when the cost i: too great but it seems that if it is ever to be dorfc there this would be the time. If certain members ‘of the leg:;, lature have their way, we won't need any ministers aud wo can let up or all work of a religious nature for wc Hoosiers will just have to be good whether we waul to or uot. Ul' course lac::: Is the usual danger that wc may disobey the laws and will have to In coaxed back to good citiienship via the dollar aud cost route. We have rather had the idea that when we an ;dl good because wc waul to be, wc ■ ill Uava a better country than vhei v.» are good because v e lyr eto be.

but since the last election, we really don't expcuk many to agree with us 311 these important questions. For twenty-two years the Daily Democrat has furnished the news to nearly every home in Adams county and for more than three times that number of years the news has been given from this office either byway of the daily or weekly. That's a 1 record we are proud of for it shows 1 substantiality about which there :an be no dispute. We recognize the • 'act that if we continue to serve you we must grow and keep the newspaper so readable that you will want to read it. That we have learned by thirty years connection with the paper. We can only do it by your con-1 tinned support and we are asking now that you do your first part by renewing your subscription so we may continue our part of the agreement. Munttie police seem to have caught the real Gerald Chapman, boldest and most successful criminal in America. Chapman stole $2,400,000 from a postal clerk in New York several years ago. made a $70,000 grab at Niagara Falls, had a hundred smaller charges against him. is suspected of several murders of policemen and guards, has escaped from a half dozen jails and thb Atlantic prison and is evidently a slippery customer. However. he is reserved and gentlemanly and is known as the "professor" and its more than probable that the gushers will soon find some reasons why hi- shouldn’t be punished severely. If he bad been dealt with properly he would have been pounding rock ten years ago and a lot. of trouble saved. Hut any way the Muncie police deserve credit for their work. i o ——— IBig Features O( ( RADIO Programs Today ( |( Tuesday's Five best radio FEATURES 1 WEA.F.

To the dreams of your children give place.

Means love as new as its olden. i Ah, "for self" defines a career. But home is “for others," my dear. —A. D. Burkett. 1 COMER’S HEARING OPENED MONDAY (Continued from Page One) Comer. Changes Testimony Later, when he was recalled to the ' stand after his wife, had testified. Mr. Harmon c hanged his testimony, Hay ittg that Comer was not in the barn • but that he hud confused ConfTr with ■ "Zimmerman.” meaning evidently ■ Harry Zimmerman, who was arrest ed in connection with the robbery but not indicted by the grand jury. Mr. Harmon s testimony was best i- tatrug but Mrs. Harmon's was any

thing but hesitating. Without delay she pointed to Comer as one of the men who robbed her. Mra. Harmon, who told the court she Ih To years of ago. testified that on the morning of June I I, three men entered her home, threw her down and put a quilt over her. Two of. them were with her, she said, while the third ransacked the house. Comer was this third man. she declared. Stick. To Story In his cross examination. Foalnaught tried without success to break , down this identification. When quelled about the color of this third man's hair, Mrs. Harmon answered: “it was the same as It Is now,’’ pointing to Comer. This brought a laugh even from the prisoner. While she was on the stand. Mrs. Harmon was asked if she didn't suspicion that somebody who lived near her was mixed up in the affair and she said yes, she "mistrusted him a little bit.” When Mr. Harmon was recalled to the stand, he completely denied the identification he first made of Comer and declared he never saw him until he was taken to Marion, Indiana, some time after the robbery and saw him in jail there. Didn't Know Amount Both Mr. and Mrs. Harmon were questioned at length about the l amount of money stolen from them and both declared they had no idea about the amount. "I hadn’t counted it at all.” Mr. Harmon said. Later he told Fostnaught that he might not have seen it for two or three monthe before the date of the robbery. When first on the stand he said the amount may have been S2O0 —"maybe more, maybe less.” “I couldn’t tell how much it was * 1 was to be hung," he asserted. “I'm i not a man who is all the time looking I after my money.” The hearing before Squire Gilpin is for the purpose of determining whether or not there is sufficient evi-; donee against Comer to warrant his; being held until the grand jury can make an investigation of his case. o— — | RADIO FUND IS GROWING NICELY I I (Continued from Page One) j tors: I Previous total $88.50 I J.
