A vote for George Krick and his colleagues will be a vote for a continuation of the progress made in Decatur during the past ten or fifteen years. We have been stepping along and have much to show as evidence of good management-splendid streets, a wonderful city plant, ornamental lights, a reduced tax rate, a well policed city—all you can ask for and Its to your advantage to continue such administration of public affairs. Now they are saying that if Stephenson had stubbed his toe and wasn’t now charged with murder, arson, etc., ( he would be the senator appointed by Governor Jackson to succeed the late Senator Ralston. The announcement is deplorable for its shows the condition we have in the state and how ( the people have continued to vote wrong most of the time during the past few years. And we are paying for it more ways than one. The democratic candidates for city offices are all splendid and capable citizens. They are moral, believe in the observance of and the enforcement of the laws, in operating the city at the lowest cost and in the manner best for all the people, know what is necessary to make the municipal plant a paying proposition, have demonstrated their ability aud deserve your support. Eleventh hour circulars will not cause the voters' to believe otherwise, we feel sure. The P.ttsburgh Pirates are the world champions of baseball and have earned the title, fighting uphill to win <he three final games. Walter JohnPon, the king of pitchers, lame and evidently unable to deliver his usual no hit ball after the second inning yesterday, went all the way through and was crushed by the defeat. A fewWays ago victory ‘for the Senators *eemed assured but the Pirates, fighting to the last, finally won the pennant and incidentally a small fortune for each player on the team. It was a real series w-lth thousands of thrills and a lot of good Sportsmanship. The news of the death of Barney Kalver has brought sadness, sincere and widespread to this community where for more than a third of century he has dispensed good cheer, happiness, helpfulness and sound advice. He was a friend to every one and it was long ago discovered here (that his wort) was good, that what he promised he fulfilled, that he found pleasure In helping others, that he was a loyal American and a good citizen. He will be missed by hundreds of people, young and old. who ettjoyed his wit and who rdcognized that beneath his good nature could be found wisddm and advice of value. The first issue of The Berne Review reached our desk, this morning and it's a bright and snappy looking publication well edited and nicely printed and made up. It is a fourpflge, seven column, semi-weekly, to be published each Monday tind Thursday by 'the Economy Printing company, C. H. Musselman, president and Rev. William Kensinger, secretary-

Mr. Musselman is t a linotype operator aud printer who has had a number of year experience while Rev. Keninger, a returned missionary is au excellent writer. It pays to advertise in the Daily« . Democrat. Ask those who have tried it. If you want to move your goods, if you want to keep up with the times, you should use these columns. Newspaper advertising moved thirty billion dollars worth of goods the past year. What would happen if every one quit advertising? Its about the only way we know of a real panic errrres thing that we know that could cause, a real panic to happen in this county now. but it would happen then just as as sure as anything could be. The goods wouldn't remain in the warehouses or on your shelves and there would be no business. Keep things moving by newspaper advertising. The democratic platform is a concise and sensible one, explaining in a fair and impartial manner the policies which will be carried out. It should be effective for the platforms heretofore adopted by the democrats of this city have been faithfully followed. There is nothing impossible promised and therefore it can be .carried out and it will be for those on the ticket are capable of doing it, George Krick the candidate for mayor, has had four years experience as a member of the council and knows the conditions of the eity as well as any man in it. He can keep the city going forward and supported by the splendid men who are candidates for council and by Mrs. Magley and Mrs. Kauffman will do so. Funeral services will be held tomorrow for Indian's great democrat, Senator Samuel M. Ralston and the sorrow at this passing is geuine. No man in the state was helif in higher esteem for through a long and varied public career be continued honest, fearless and a heroic fighter tor the. people he loved. He was of the Tilden school and the last of those rug ged men who believed their first duty was to tneir state and nation in politics. For many years with such leaders as Kern and Shlveley and Marshall, he campaigned the state. Just a year ago he made his last address in this city, pleading for the cause in which he believed, presenting his arugment ih a fair and very ably way. We need more Sam Ralstons. ♦ ♦ + ♦♦ + ♦♦♦♦♦ + ♦ + + * Big Features Os * * RADIO * * Programs Today * ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ FRIDAYS FIVE BEST RADIO FEATURES Copyright 1925 by United Press WEAF.

Oh, there is a little girl with brown hair that doesn't curl And a saucy little twinkle in her eyes. And this pretty little maid is in danger, I'm afraid. Os a punishment which little girls despise. Oh, I write this in despair, as I sit and watch her there. For I fancy I can hear her as she wails. And I shudder through and through at what mother's said she'll do If she doesn't stop that biting of her nails. It's no use. it seems, to scold such a lovely 3-year-old, and all argument and threatening is vain. So her mother has declared something bitter is prepared If she ever sees her doing it again; She will paint (hose finger tips with

a dose which once she sips She'll remember. It's a cure which never fails. Says her mother, solemn-faced: •‘She'll learn just how aloes taste If she doesn't stop that biting of her nails!" But that lovely little miss gives her doting dad a kiss And seems to pay no heed when mother scolds, While her dad is sitting near she has not the slightest fear Os the punishment, the future plainly holds; — To that little girl in vain I have tried to make it plain What a tragedy her dreadful vice entails, And 1 dread that day of woe, for she'll meet it soon. 1 know.
