Tlie following is bnt a part of a red-hot editorial which appeared in last evenings Fort Wayne News and is quite similar to those appearing in various other stand-pat papers in the state: What kind of high handed act is tilts—this pardoning of Rae Krauss, as wanton a slayer as ever placed self above God? In Indiana's millions, there probably cannot be found a bare hundred to approve the governor's arbitrary act. Hartford City | folks who knew Crystal Krauss and loved her—and who know the espicablo jealousy that tired her i slayer — are aflame with indignation at the chief executive's act in thus letting loose upon society i this dull-souled and self-confessed murderess! • * » » The pardoning of Rae Krauss | follows closely his arbitrary action in prohibiting thp automobile 1 races at Winchester. I The governor was not consistent. He did not order the closing of country clubs all over the state. Thus far, he has not forbidden that races be held in Fort Wayne next Sunday. He has not forbidden the boys and girls to play croquet. or tennis, or marbles. He has not forbidden outings, picnics or other functions for human | amusement. But he DID see to it there were no races in Win- * Chester on Sunday, July 19. Why | pick on Winchester? The fair-minded citizens of this great state of Indiana are not at all pleased with the excathedra finality of Mr. Jackson's decretals, whether they reflect narrow bigotry or mawkish sentimentality. ’ > Prosperity is not due in this coun- i try for fifteen years and perhaps not I then. That faet has been definitely , established by George Lindsey, president of the Indiana Republican Editorial Association and editor of the Marion Chronicle. Now we know just what to figure on and its a safer way to figure than that its just around the ] coiner as some politicians have been c trying to convince us. Editor Lindsey bases his figures on similar conditions 1 in other wars and features the effect f of the Napoleonic war on France. He ; overlooks the fact however that this I is an entirely different nation from France with greater natural resources, ( all the money in the world and less a debts proportionately than France had then or now. Conditions in this country now would be prosperity in any other ‘ c i Bluffton has purchased a J 9.000 lot 5 at the corner of Market and Scott ( streets as the location for the city f hall and community building as auth- c orized under the law enacted espec- ( ially for that city by Senator George a Saunders in the last session of the I legislature. The law permits the transfer of funds from the electric " light fund for that purpose and as ; the efty has SBB,OOO in profits and depreciation in the light fund, they ; can build a commodious, modern and convenient public building which will ' be used for various purposes and will , fill a long felt want in that county, seats. Fort Wayne is to have automobile races tomorrow, other cities are to feature boxing, various contests and sports, which makes us wonder more than ever just why Governor Ed, Jackson decided that Winchester is

Seems to be something back of all of it and maybe those republicans down in Randolph are not lining up with the right crowd to get favors from the chief. He'll show 'em.

He will do his part and more and we feel there is no doubt that everybody is going to he more than pleased with the Northern Indiana Fair this year. Twenty years from noy they will be talking about "the good old days," meaning now and telling how much better we were and how much more happiness and Christianity was prevalent. that is we suppose they will, for that's been the case for several thousand years. Well with Scopes, Scott, Mrs. Cunningham. Hawkins and a few others out of the road, the newspapers may be hard put for headlines, but usually there is something breaking and the chances are that we will be able to stir up a few sensations over the country. More more sunshine, better growing weather and all the crops show it. Even the pasture fields have come back in a snrpristng way and the farmers have a right to smile and to feel encouraged. The Elks Fun Festival will open just a month from today and the boys arc completing plans for a program that will entertain every one who enjoys entertainment and believes in helping a good cause. 7

E. & W. route near the junction point, at the west edge of the city. The last named route is said to be the most probable.

It costs you seven dollars out of every ten to live ECONOMIC experts tell us that it costs the average family about 70 per cent of its total income to buy food, clothing, household utilities and all the multitude of little things that keep a family comfortable and happy. Seven dollars out of every ten—and that doesn’t include rent, luxuries or entertainment. Think what a job it is to spend this large proportion of your income wisely and well. To get the biggest and best jwssible value from every one of those seven dollars! The clever woman gets to the advertisements of her daily paper for help. There she finds a directory of buying and selling. She learns about the offerings of merchants and manufacturers. She compares values. She weighs quality and price. She takes this opportunity of judging and selecting almost everything she needs to feed, clothe, amuse, instruct and generally bring up her family. Do you read the advertisements? You will find them willing and able to serve vou in the daily business of purchase. Advertisetnehts are guardians of your pocketbook read them carefully in The Decatur Daily Democrat.
