Indianapolis has over forty-five thousand school children, which doesn't mean that they will be able to win either the football or basket bail championship. Those honors usually go to the towns where they have only a few hundred in school. Think we have problems? in Chicago this week thirty thousand boys and girls reported for school and could not be taken care of- in other words there were that many more than the estimate on which arrangements had been made for school facilities. The only thing they can do is to have them come in shifts so th it each will get some educational advantages. Western railroads are asking a five per cent increase in freight rates. They are offering evidence of increased cost and will no doubt prove to the commission that the boost is coming, but out there where the ranchmen who shipped stock didn't receive enough to pay the freight, it looks like a foolish move. If we are to get back to normalcy, that ought to mean every one including the railroads. The odds are four to one th it Walker will defeat Hyland for the democratic nomination for mayor of New York City next Tuesday. Walk ;r is the Tamany candidate and Hylind is a Hearst runner up who threatens if beaten for the nomination to run independently. That ought to be’enough to make the odds a hundred to one. either now or in the election. They do have some warm politics in the little old town. Colonel Billy Mitchell is still hot under the collar and says he will welcome an investigation but that it must be public. Os course the heads don't want any more investigations, especially when the public can get an earful and its doubtful if they force one Mitchell don’t give a good doggone whether he remains in t ie army or not, but he doesn’t propose to be prevented from expressing an opinion when he knows he's right. A well-known farmer <ps in this morning to register a complaint against fast and reckless automobile driving. Within a few days two valuable dogs and a number of chickens have been needlessly killed by automobiles in front of his house and he is trying to organise to femploy a motorcycle officer to patrol the road, that's about the only way, the practice can be stopped it seems and a few arrests will very probably cure a lot of fellows who seem to get pleasure out of killing animals or poultry along the highway* . The success -of the Northern Indiana fair is now up tb you and the weather. If you will do your part in boosting attendance, go yourself and the weatherman will smile, we' will have a big and successful fair. Every thing is ready or will be by the day of the opening and those back of the enterprise are working as industriously as they can. Bntries arc coming in now, the tents are being put up and from now until Tuesday there will be a continuous stream of traffic to and from the grounds. The races will be good, the exhibits -wonderful, the mid-way a whiz, the free acts

We -have about four million dollars worth of roads in Adams county and these must be kept up and of course at the least overhead possitde. Its a difficult problem to work out—that of providing all the improvements asked, niaintainence of public property, and a low tax rate, but the officials are doing the very best they can. And that's about"all that can be asked. o • ♦ ♦ TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ From the Daily Democrat file ♦ : ♦ Twenty years ago thia day ♦ ♦ ♦ September 10, 1905 was Sunday.

Rain continued in some parts of this territory Wednesday. In Chicago the rainfall totaled nearly one inch ' and it was equally heavy in othbr sections of this territory. The corn crop has been he’ped by the rains. Early planted grains, now at the ripening stage, dervide little benefit, however, it was reported.

At the last council meeting the Mayor called on this committee for repot t and they reported they had becu too busy to do any investigating. It seems to me that this is just a case of laying down on the job ami am wondering whether the Mayor could not appoint another committee who were not so busy. This Investigation can he mad 1 ? without costing the committee a penny and the signers are certainly entitled to somo consideration and should have it. I havcHeen told the city could get
