A blizzard which is raging along the Atlantic seaboard has cost forty lives and destroyed much property. Traffic is tied up and many terrible catasthrophics have been reported. ns a violation of law to give wedding presents in Turkey and it is suggested that we have a law here not to permit it until after the couple have lived together long enough to see whether they desired to remain hitched. Fort Wayne suffered a hundred thousand dollar fire in the down town district last night- Its so easy this time of year when the buildings are dry because of the heavy tiring of the furnaces. Wo may save a lot of money and disasters by being careful. Mr. Volstead now favors doing away with the production of alcohol entirely, declaring that even when used as an exterior rub, it is as had as when used internally. That's going far and we expect the real idea of Mr. Volstead is that too many people who represent they want it for exterior use, really get thirsty and take a nip or two. Another pipneer citizen and one of the popular men of the city. Nick flT^er*”*has been called to his final reward. He has for several decades been a well-known figure here, in business for years and known by every one because of his cheerfulness, his happy greetings and his interest in affairs generally. We knew him well and we know he had good ideas and a clean heart and we deeply and sincerely regret his death. The long service of Riley Adams as treasurer of the state republican committee, was abruptly terminated the other day and there are rumors of a break between he and Chairman Walb. The Ed Jackson crowd have broken with their old friends, the Watson camp is divided. Il looks as though the democrats, if they can effect an organization in the state which could take advantage of the opportunity can have things their own way this year. Will they do so? Jay county wants the Limberlost Trail to extend over into their territory, setting up the claim that Mrs. Porter did much of her work in the north partaof that county, proof that the claims of the instigators of the trail were ■ correct in predicting that the movement would grow. By all means the spots where the gifted authoress did her work should be marked and improved so as to attract attention of the tourists. *• Congress is getting a good start. Ho far 11,737 bills have been introduced and it is known that some of the best introducers are just getting a good start. One difficulty with being a good American citizen these days is to be able to llud out just what the law is. It covers so many tilings and they have so many angles that you meet yourself coming back two or three times, no difference what you try to do. Lincoln Dixon, former congressman with a splendid record and one of the old fashioned democrats of Indiana, is being urged to become a candidate for United Blates senator, a fact that is pleasing to thousands of staunch

He is an able campaigner and a clean and big class citizen who would well represent the state in the highest law making body of his government, if elected. He served ten or twelve years in congress and was considered a leader of ! the democratic membership. ' The proposal of members of the . stock exchange to place before the ■ voters of the state an initiative measure providing for daylight saving in California is an interesting suggestion. Hut it does not go far i enough. What is needed is a federal law, so that there would be a uniform system of timekeeping through- • out the nation. We had such a system during the war, and we liked it. Men and women were glad to start the day's work an hour earlier by the sun, when it meant quitting with the best hours of the day still left fori healthful recreation. After the war I it was permitted to lapse into a local affair, and only slowly have the states swung hack to the practiceRhode Island and Massachusetts and 280 cities and villages in twelve other states also set the clock ahead in summer. To bring everybody into the fold, congress should be asked to make daylight saving national. And now. while that body is in session, is a good time to stress the advantage of such a system. — San Fjaucisco Chronicle. o _ 88S8SKSS3888S88S3 8 » 8 TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY S' a k 8 From the Daily Democrat File K 8 Twenty Year* Ago Thia Day 8 8 K 8888888888X888888 February 5. 1906. —Inspector Birdsey recommends removal of postmasters Grimes of Anderson.

She is all he can think of or see. And he’s forty years old, and it seems Not till now did he think there could be Such a wonderful girl in his dreams. They are going to be niarricd in June And he says tliat it’ can't come too soon. I He's resisted them all through the years. The blondes, the brunettes and thc reds, They'd not capture him with their tears. He’d take neither their hearts nor their heads.

In the very beginning I wish to firmly state that if it was' possible to annihilate every criminal in the U.S. future generations will be facing the same problems tliat wo are confronting today, unless we penetrate to thc cause instead of treating results, thn concurrence of opinion is that, lifetime prison sentences, the scaffolds and electric chair are the only means we can resort to, because individuals believe tliat if we establish within ' the very beings of individuals a fear of punishment, that a moral refer- , mat ion will sweep over this country. I think I have a right to say wiiii--1 out fear of contradiction, that, if a ‘ person refrains from committing a crime, for no other reason than know- • ing Dm) if caught he must pay a penalty for Ills disobedience, such an individual will aevor be an asset to I any community. i Therefore, criminal courts aud long • prison sentences, will never remove -i cause, for they are only helpful I- in retarding the growth aud development of a certain class of uudersir- • «

Now it's "sweetheart” and “dearie" and "pct,” And in public he fondles her hand. Cupid has him ensnared ih his net. Ostrich-like with his head in the sand • He thinks nobody sees or is wise To the spooning right under our eyes. Love plays havoc I'll say, with us all. It has power whicli but few can resist, But at last when tho old dodgers fall They make up for the times they have missedWhen a girl brings some old fellow down, He's the lovc-sickest person in town.

able citizens, and if we take thc time to consult crimjnal records, we find they have almost been a failure along this line, for district attorneys, and other officials of law claim that youthful offenders are si/pplanting iu numbers, the hardened mature criminals of earlier days. With our modern system of education every child has a golden opportunity to develop his mental resources, at tlie present time public sentiment is demanding an educated ministry. Our Sunday sabool superiHtendcnts are men and women that have a broad spiritual vision, never before in tlie world’s history are these schools better managed than at the present time. The old fashioned teachers in both the S. S. and public school are being supplanted by individuals who have specialized in the art of teaching.. Radios brings us almost withj4i instant communication with (lie old world, members of isolated farm homes, comes in contact with tho best talents. Automobiles furnish quick methods of transportation, community spirit is being developed, and witli all these added advantages, crime is increasing Who is responsible? Listen! I wisli to say it with all firmoss and kindness, parents who shirk are largely responsible. Our young generation deserves fairer treatment from us elders.

Therefore bow in tho name of good reason and common sense, can parents expect to have any i influence over their children, when I they arc indulging in every evil that Is In the catalogue of social debauchery. Therefore no amount of preaching obedience to law theoretically can over come the ill < fleets on the child, who knows that his father is a boot logger or a bott-leggers best custom- ( i 'er and that goes many ways. Fath- : ers refusing to pay their honest debts,'i I dodging their taxes, educating their 1 children on blood money, misrepre -I ' senting anything of value for the I sake of getting more for the same than it is really worth, and then boasts before his family how slick he j was in pulling dishonest deals. :i Such a father is easily setting exI am pies that some day, may start his I son on the road to Michigan City. I Children are honest, not because it is daily preached to them, but because their parents are honest. Children are moral, not because, morality is handed down in slogans.) 1 but because of morality in the home, i i Dr. Bryan tells is in his book, "The | Basis of Practical Teaching.'' "It is i' a principle of matter and mind that ! tilings tends to act as they have previously acted. Whatever an individual does, constitutes in his or- . ganisin an added excuse, for doing it again. Il can be seen. therefore, how important it is that these general instincts of the child should be set going in tlie right way and not allowed to shoot off in ways which will prevent his development.” . s It seems to lie pretty generally recognized that the child inherits the I religions instinct. Therefore how can i parents expect to develop this instinct if they do nut live up to the privileges of their profession. Children learn twice as much from examples as they do precepts. This being true in order to remove the cause parents must go back to the place where they started to slip, and again train their children. For if a _yhild is properly trained he is safe to go anywhere in the world, but if he is not properly trained, he is not safe even under his own parental roof. ■ Therefore, parents should remernber “that morality and religion are the two great pillars of human happiness" "The greatest peril of today ASTHMA No cure for it, but welcome i relief is often brought by— VICKS ▼ Vapoßub Oner Ir Million Ja,.
