We hope all the talk about reducing taxes when congress convenes is not just for the benefit of campaign bunk. There are ways to do it and the country needs a real reduction of federal .taxes. Fort Wayne democrats certainly have the right kind of fighting spirit. Defeated in Tuesdays election by a majority of more than three thousand they came back last night with a big rally, planning to win next year’s battle. Tile defense for D. C. Stephenson is finding it rather difficult to establish any kind of a showing that will excuse three men from being punished for taking a young lady by force and misusing her so frightfully that she preferred death to living. I a————————— They have a queer kind of a city election plan in Boston where ten candidates, seven democrats and three republicans went to bat last Tuesday. It resulted of course in a republican victory as might be expected with the democrats split seven ways from Sunday. Its usually hard enough to win when on e democrat runs agaihst one republican. • It is a thing worth while to have so lived in a community as to liave and merit the highest regard of every one with whom you have come in contact. That is tlie record of the late Charles S. Niblick, for whom a special memorial service has been arrang ed and which will be held in the new auditorium at the Qatholic school building Sunday afternoon. Mr. C. E. Bell will preside and short talks will be made by representatives of various organizations of the community. Tomorrow is “Hound-up Day,’’ at which time those boys and girls who have taken part in the calf, corn and beet clubs in this county, will exhibit results and the winners will receive the prize awards. It has been a fine movement and those who have taken pert have enjoyed the contests, not only because of a desire to win but because they feel they are helping in a splendid work. The program for tomorrow is an excellent one and we are sure every one will thoroughly enjoy it. The Hardware Retailer for November contains a picture of the qourt house at Indianapolis and in a story beneath tells how the building, now unfit for use, cost -that county 2.626,250 for which they received nothing. The building was erected fifty-five years ago -and cost $950,000. Up to this year $600,000 of that amount had nut been paid. $200,000 was paid off th’» year and the balance of SIOO,OOO will be taken up within three years. The interest charges will total nearly three times as much as the original building, a lesson of public waste that should bring profit to other organizations who finance under plans similar to this. A debt should never be made unless ph ns for liquidating at the least cost is also arranged. We attended a meeting of the state highway commission yesterday and the delegation which included representatives from every county in Indiana on the direct east and west route, known from Huntington west as No. 7. was assured that the commission recognizes the importance of this route and that they are planning to make ’extensive improvement# on this route, in the way of 'pavement in

We were e'so informed that further improvements will be made next year on No. 21 in this vicinity, the exact amount of mileage or the location having not been definitely decided. Any way we are making some progress in this better roads

proposition. The highway commission is very anxious to improve roads ‘ but can only do so within their appriatlon. If the people wish more hard surface road or desire it more rapidly than 300 miles per year, they will have to plan to raise more money, according to the position of the members of the board. / o — — —- *++♦♦+♦♦♦♦♦+♦++ * Big Features Os * * RADIO ♦ * Programs Today * ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ FRIDAY’S FIVE BEST RADIO FEATURES Copyright 1925 by United Press WJZ.

MEMORIAL Decatur Accembly No. 864 Knights of Columbus The hinged Gates of Eternity have swung open, and a beloved brother has passed beyond to the glories of the Great Hereafter. We mourn deeply, but not hopelessly. We miss, how we miss, the kindly spirit, the geniality and the kindly smile, the tervent handclasp, and all things material. But. ever, we will feel the kindly spirit, that embodiment of true and sincere brotherhood. The torch of true and active Christianity has fallen from his tireless hands, and it is our duty to pick up the torch, are the embers die, and carry it on, fur he would have wished it so. He aas left us the legacy of a life so aobly spent, that we may grow better .iiru its emulation. 80, dear brothers, our Brother has. S. Niblick, has "passed on" and ve pause now, to pay the deepest And .nost sincere homage to him who was always so trt|e, faithful and sacrificing. He is. not gone. True, indeed we-t-ill feel bis bodily presence no more, but ever we will be conscious of that kindly spirit, and if. each of our lives is made just a bit more true, and a bit more sbcrificing, thru the example, of our dear departed brother, then Charles S. Niblick's Christian life among us has not been In vain. We extend to the wife aVI family our deepest sympathy in their loss. Chas. N. Christen, H. J. Yager. C. J. Voglewede. M. J. Mylott, committee.
