The March wind came in a little early, arriving today following the all night wind and it was some wind witl a velocity that harbingers the regular spring cyclone period. * They say the only way to enforce tho Volstead act and to settle the tariff question is to take them out of politics. Now if some one will invent some way that can be done, we will be setting pretty. Some of the boys have figured it all out and now declare that the tank a mile square and a mile high, filled with water, could be emptied at the rate of a barrel a second in a hundred and eighty-four years. Now what do you say, does that cheek with your figures? Colonel House has one great advantage in reciting his connection with the Wilson administration as now being published. He can claim credit for those things which have proven popular and either omit those which have been taken otherwise or charge them to Mr. Wilson or Mr. Bryan, both of whom are dead and it looks from his letters as though thats what the Texan is doing. The Geneva business me mire organizing a commercial club and at a meeting held an evening or two ago showed a lot of pep, enthusiasm, good sense and decided to go ahead. Its a splendid thing and if the boys will keep everlastingly at it for a few years they will be more than pleased with the results. Usually, as has been the case here, with su,ch organizations we expect results sooner than they are possible. Cross, Briggs. Stuckey and McCullum can put it over and do a great thing for their com urunity and we predict they will. Anthony Bimba, a Brooklyn man who looks like a boy and talks like a * child, is under arrest at Brockton Massachusetts for violation of an old law against blasphemy, adopted more than two hundred years ago. Bimba l -ctured in Brockton and said that in stead of God making man, he can establish the fact that man made God and that every religion has a God of its own. There isn’t much to the argument except that Brockton has a chance to get on the map with a lot of free advertising as Dayton. Tenn, did some months ago when they had the famous "monkey trial.” While we haven't any inside information as to who is contemplating the buying of a considerable tract oi ground in the business section of the city or for what purpose, there is a stimulating feeling from the fact that some outside person or corporation considers this a sufficiently good community in which to make an investment of that size. We believe we will step forward this year for we have heard of some twenty or twentyfive houses which will be built and we know of some other improvements which should prove worth while. Up on your toes, people, Its time to sprint a little. , v * Now they are taking straw votes on the wet and dry question and we notice that they are just like those taken during the presidential cam paigns, you can have them any way you want them. If the newspapers which fake the census desirfe either a democratic or a republican return ■I Hi . < . .7 . ... x ■ • ■.

| they cun secure it by several tricks r and we presume the same thing can be worked in this new fad. For instance, you know to start with that r there are certain districts and certain / concerns in which the vote would be 11 a certain way and so whenever yon r desire to fatten the total you can do so by sending ballots to these territories. I a ■■■■saMSM 3 * ,0 In an Associated Press dispatch » from Moscow under date of February 0 g 5, Leon Trotsky, in a speech com--0 paring Russian and American news- ® papers is quoted as saying to an audience of Russian workers: "It is scarcely possible to find anything less attractive than the contents of the average American newspapers. But American editors have the faculty of giving their readers just what they • desrie.” Yes. and they will continue ? to do so, and also give the American ) people their best editorial opinion, on 1 matters which would not please the 1 Bolshevist leader. Naturally Amer- ' lean newspapers are unattractive to Mr. Trotsky, for he has no power to muzzle them and control their comment, as he has in Russia. America is the nation it is today because it has 20,000 publications for 110,000,000 ' people and everybody can read. Bolshevist dictators cannot exist in such a nation because there is no chance to fool millions of uninformed persons. The quickest way to bring permanent stability to Russia, would be to ship in a lot of good American printing presses and American editors and lit them discuss conditions as they found them, unhampered by the crushing hand of Bolshevik officialism. Naturally, these would be "unattractive” papers to Mr. Trotsky because every one that was printed would shorten the reign of terror, and hasten the day of peace, plenty and •ducation for the Russian people. Let America be thankful that it has thousands of newspapers that are I extremely unattractive to Mr. Trotsky find his supporters.—The Manufacturer. o I # X X X X l l X 27 X X X X X X X X K s s 8 TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY X a a 8 From the Daily Democrat File X 8 Twenty Years Ago This Day St 8 8 XKKKXXXKXSBXKB XX K February 25, 1906 was Sunday. — o *+++**♦***•**** * Big Features Os * • RADIO * ♦♦+♦+♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ FRIDAY'S TEN BEST RADIO FEATURES (Copyright. 1926, by United Press) WEBH.

And now, our brother physician's work is finished, his life s is a record of deeds w.ell done, and in the qualities of his mind, and heart we find much to emulate. e v We, the Adams County Medical *' Society, extend our sympathy and y condolence to his bereaved wife and • s children. , r SETH D.
