It is announced that Alfred Hogston, of Marion, newly appointed state fire marshal, who will succeed New man T. Miller, is one of the three klan bosses of the state. Evidently they still have a pull somewhere. Th e beautifying of the court house yard, making an attractive appearing center of the business section, would cost about $250, we are informed and would be worth a hundred times that. Looks as though it, would be a verygood investment. Decatur let no doubt in the minds of the boosters for the William Penn transcontinental highway, who arrived here this afternoon. We are for it because it looks as though they are really interested in sprucing a paved coast to coast highway through this city and because they are moving along business-like methods. A delegation from here should attend the meeting at Portland tomorrow evening to assist in securing the best schedule possible of the G. 11. & I. trains for the securing of morning mail and parcels is very import •ant. Superintendent Barry desires ‘the cooperation of the people along the route and deciares he will work with them. The Decatur football team, badly crippled, lost at South Deed by a score of 40 to o, which need not dis courage them. Huntington lost 89 ' to 6, and Bluffton by a big margin. 1 Tbe Banner consoling Huntington ( says:—"Yea, Huntington, cheer up. ( we have never tasted victory over here and we're still cocky as every thing." Fiye weeks from today will occur the city elections over indana. in Only a few cities has the campaign opened to such an extent that interest is being manifested, but at that it doesn't require more than two or three weeks to make a complete campaign in the average county sent town and it is quite likely that the noise will come in due time. Even in the larger cities tbe politicians seem to be moving deliberately. For the information of the William Penn highway boosters, we might remind them that the road here will connect with state road No. 21, one of the main north and south roads of the middle west and also with the ‘Limberlost Trail which passes through the scenes made famous by Mrs. Gene Stratton-Porter. We also have in this county 700 miles of macadam and hard surface roads and have progressed with any county in this section during the past decade or two. Bluffton very wisely does not attempt to estimate the size of the crowds which attended their street fair, satisfying themselves with the statemen hat it way about all they could handle on several days. They don't need to argue with those who attended for the crowds were so large that one could hardly get through. Whether the event was a financial success, has not been an uouuced. but if it wasn't we wouldn't know how to make it so. The William Penn Highway organization here has the enthusiasm and will if given tbe proper support, as

People don't differ much in the matter of scolding. Few deserve punishment under the penal code »or common scolds but petulant scolding is one of the most universal of human traits. Whether we know it or admit it we are all chronic critics of our fellows. Perhaps there is some truth in the expression, “we love each other for our faults.’’ , Cartoons and comic strips are given to gross exaggeration especially as regards the marital state, but where is there a happily wedded pair which is not scolded into married Miss? Os course they are intended as helpful suggestions and household hints, but those remarks about bills, cigar ashes, late dinners and delayed diners, and other conjugal annoyances are bai examples of everyday and unnoticed family scoldings. Our neighbors alone are aware of their presence. The statistician affords us rare opportunities for giving vent to our natural propensity for complaining. How the men scold the women for their extravagances when the' revenue bureau announces what was spent for cosmetics and silken hose in the preceding year and what a babble is yet up by the wives and mothers when the tobacco statistics are broadcasted. A new source o{ scolding is the automobile. Non-owners charge the mo torists with forcing the world into bankruptcy and t-utomobHe owners scold the pedestrian for something just as reasonable. .£.g..|.4..|..f.4.,f.<(. + 4>4>4..p4. * Big Features Os * * R A DIO * * Programs Today * TUESDAY'S RADIO FEATURES WLS, Chicago, 315, 8 p. hi.

The People’s Voice | Road Maintfenawet Problem Decatur. lhd.< Sept. 26. 1925. Editor Democrat, Dear Sir: In reply to John Smith, farmer. I warn Io say that he Is right in saying that several miles of roads were damaged in Hartford township last spring caused by truck hauling stone into Jajt county This material used in repairing roads in Jay county and in buiWnv of State road No. 21. John seems to think it is a joke that the roads have been ruined ate# 4Wt it is tny fault that these trucks have caused the damage. This is no joke, it is a serious proposition. If Mr. Smith knows that the road law has been violated it is his duty as a tax payer and citizen to file the complaint against the violator with the prosecutor. 1 wonder if Mr. Smith knows that back in 1921 we had a law that no. truck or vehicle of more than seven and one-half tons capacity was allowed i on any •highway in the State of Indiana. and just.last spring another law. was enacted giving the right to haul 14 tons' t>pr load in dry weather So 1 think that any fair minded person can see that it takes more material than in former years. You see that if 1 rupefintend the rest of the roads' I in Adorns coirnty stmllaily that it tei no wonder that ! n»»d more money. I Now. if you come to Demtdf I can • oltow you about 1G mile's fn the 'dafn’’ . condition as your Hartford township I roads.. These 16 miles are used in the < const rtiettOß-of 7 Hides of State Road J No. 21. t If. at* My time you have any good . advice concerning roads please come

These things must be taken care of by a direct tax or by subscription and how far would you get with the latter, not very far if every body objects to tax Or doßalfon as you do. I am greatly fn favor of the Porter Memorial, and hope that I may some time donate or contribute to a fund whereby a monument may be erected . to public spirited people of your calltire (Signed) Chas.

Tperjury is charged . Husband Os Slain W. C. T. U. Pre*ldent Released After Furntehmg >IO,OOO Bond. Vinton, la., Sept 29. — (United Press.)—Clifford B. Cook, husband of Benton countya slain temperance worker, Mrs. Myrtle Underwood Cook, was at liberty today on slo,(Mid bond following his arrest last night on a charge of perjury contained in an information signed by Sheriff Whitefield Ruhl. The informatiot) charged Cook with perjury in connection i with testimony given two weeks ago before the coroner's jury hearing evidence In the case of his murdered wife. Cook is alleged to have said that on Sunday, Sept. «. the day before his wife was shot to death in her home, he was at Sioux City. la., that he attended church In the morning ami spent the remainder of the day alone in his room. Later he told state and county officials that this testimony was false He had been with Mrs. Hester Sellng. pretty divorcee, part of the day. Mrs. Seiling is held nere on a grand jury subpoena for questioning in the Cook murder mystery. Solution of the murder mystery is Improbable, it is believed. Had the state any evidence to Warrant Cook's arrest on a charge of mtlTder, he would not have been arrested for perjury, It was pointed out. Mrs. Cook, widely known temimrante worker, was shot and killed in her home on the night of Sept. 7. The original theory that bootleggers "with a grudge" committed the crime apparently has been abandoned. o To Plan War Against Higher Telephone Rates Indianapolis.
