The weather is not so bad tor this season, in (act it lias been about as good as we have a right to expect and the predictions are for “not much change in temperature." The government claims that Senator t'ouzens, of- Michigan, owes nine million dollars in unpaid federal tax. That takes a 10l of the punch out of liia fight against corporations and other rich individuals- if he owes nine million he must have some kind of a business graft that is “taking'' the people. Two big basketball sessions tonight. one al the public high school. Decatur High vs. Auburn and the other at the Calholic High with Decatur vs. Indianapolis as the iiead liner. The programs have been planned so the fans can attend both events if they wish and a lot of people will. The special church services be-in uiug Sunday and continuing two weeks will create interest and should. We are busy these days, every body hustling for dollars, pleasure and sports and thals fine but along with it we should remember that “we live to die and die to live” and that we should jhink about both. Hat risen Burns died in Indianapolis yesterday in his nlne.thieth year. Though most of our readers may be surprised to hear'it. Mr. Burns wa Indiana’s most quoted aulhqr. For a third of a century Burn's Annotated Statutes of Indiana have been used by attorneys and mentioned in every trial without the public generally thinking that the author ot th, work was a living Hoosier lawyer. Harrison Burn; first edited this work in 1894 and has kept it up to date since that time. M. Mac Stoops, known and loved here as “Duke" renews his subscription to tile Democrat and says they await the arrival of the paper each day ami read it with interest. Mr. ami Mrs. Stoops have lived down in Petersburg, Pike county, Indiana, for about thirty years but this Ist still home to them and tile letter closes with an earnest request for an old fashioned “Home comitir" here next fall. There are a lot of folks who would like to return for a visit and a good time like we had in 1912. Shall we? We read in the papers that Harry K. Thaw, whose greatest achieve nient was the murder of Standofrd White, will run over to Chicago in a few days to call on Evelyn Nesbit, his former wife whose, association with White caused the memorable killing and who recently made a second attempt to take her life. It is whispered the spark of love still hug, era in his breast and that a reconcilatiou may occur. Wouldn't it he> Ifivelyif they should iilippen to ' live happily together ever afterward?’’

The Indiana state lair will open wn Saturday, September 4th and continue eight day's, closing the follow fng Saturday evening. This will give them a Sunday, during which propose to give a religious program, with shows closed but other attractions operating. We would guess the "decl6ivti will cause a state wide discu3Btoa by those who see in it a dei.lre to further, make puuday a duy of recreation and pleasure. The chances I

Now congress threatens to pass u hill which has been introduced by a

, Missouri congressman to prevent fed- , eral judges from commenting on credt ibility of witness's and to require more specific evidence to convict persons »of federal conspiracy. The trouble will be in getting a court to hold such a law constitutional for the federal judge with a life tenure is not going to give away any of that [tower • which makes him a last resort. Evi--1 dently some of the congressmen or I some of their friends have been “upi set'' by some jti lge and proposes to I even the score. The Ohio tax law of which we have heard much also works some hardships it seems. Over at Bryan they have used the money which the schools can draw for operating expenses and anticipated the appropriation a year in advance. Now they can’t open next September unless the citizens there will raise the money some other way. The business men of that town are trying to effect an arrangement whereby every citizen will pay an extra $1.50 per week so he schools can continue. There is no way to create a low fax and keep up improvements and increased overhead. In other words we can't “eat our cake and have it." 0 >+***♦«***•**♦* Big Features Os * RADIO '♦ * Programs Today * FRIDAY’S FIVE BEST RADIO FEATURES Copyright 1926 by United Press WDAF.

WE LOVE THEM MORE WHEN THEY ARE DEAD We love them more when they are Tlie little mother lovlier grows dead, With every hour that slips away; And strangely, too, it seems to me It seems to us that now she knows By them we're influenced and led All that we are and do and say. More than we ever use<k to be. Time was we hurt them thoughtlessly. We doubt the living and distrust Or failed to note the troubled brow. At times the counsel they in ty give. But we recall them tenderly But the dead father from the dust And love tod much to hurt them Calls to us every day we live, now. (Copyright 1925 Edgar A. Guest
