Foreign Representative: Carpenter & Company, 142 Michigan Avenue, Chicago., A thousand street corner loafers were arrested In Philadelphia the other day, another sign of returning to normalcy, we presume. The calendar may show that spring has arrived but you can't convince the coal pile of that fact. This little bnish today is about as severe as any of the winter. Who says the Jazz is no good for any tiling. The craz e Just reached London three months ago and now more than three thousand men and women who were out of employment are making good money playing saxaphones and trombones at good wages. If the lirst three days of March govern the first three months of spring as our granddads firmly believed, we are at least going to have a couple of rougfi ones. On the other hand if another old rule holds good. March will go out as meek as atty lamb you ever saw. Secretary Hoover declares we have now "recovered economic normalcy.” Now that would be nice if true, but Mr. Hoover and all the rest of those Washingtonians, sitting in luxury, will have a tough old time convincing the average farmer west of Pennsylvania that things are normal when his dollar, hard to get, is worth but sixty cents. Seven hundred and nineteen high school basketball teams are entered in the tournaments this week, which ought to explain why there is so much interest manifest and why newspapers big and little can afford to devote pages to this sport. And only one of this number can win the state championship which ought to bring peace to the mind of the average fan. The Wabash Plain Dealer and the Times Star have consolidated with D. M. Nixon, editor and manager and the first copy of the new paper came so our desk this morning. It is metropolitan in appearance, eight pages of eight columns, attractively made up and well supported. The new paper will be independent in politics and will stand for Wabash county first, last and always. The price of the paper has been advanced to twenty cents per week, delivered in the city. >4.00 by mail in the county and $6.00 by mail outside the county. The ideas presented in the editor and manager's opening statement are sound and the venture will wc predict, prove profitable for the stockholders and for the people of that community. Operating a newspaper these days, even in the smaller cities, is an expensive proposition and the most im-: portent one in any community. Chicago, with her three million population, her boasted police force, her fine citizenship, her colleges, churches, schools, big business and high-toned society, has thrown up the white flag, admitted her helplessness and her inability to cope with the feudists, blackhanders, members of the Mafia and gunmen who for a year or 1 wo past have terrorized the people of that city, levied tribute, kidnapped and assassinated and has asked tilt government Io send the army and navy to that city to "help us ere w< perish." Os course the federal govern went cannot take the duties of th< Chicago police officers any more that

5 0 they can take care of New York. 0 Pittsburgh. Galveston, San Francisco or any other city. Its a serious condition no doubt but its one that the citizens of Chicago must work out and handle themselves. The conditions now existing would never have occurred if the officials had not for years t past permitted authority to get away i from them. Whether you want it or not. whether 1 you favor it or not, the wet and dryquestion which for a half dozen years held a leading place in the politicalissues, bids fair to again forge to the front. It is being discussed now in congress, in churches, in business organizations, wherever people gather and it will without doubt have an important part in the campaigns this year. Andrew Mellon, secretary of the treasury has again blocked the efforts to secure an investigation of the sociological and economic effects of the present laws and the non-en-forcement thereof. Something is evidently wrong somewhere and indications are that a lot of the trouble is due to the fact that too many of th e officials of the country do not desire prohibition enforced to that degree where they cannot have their hard liquors. As'we said, no difference' what any of tis believe about the question, it looks as though it would soon become a rather live issue which may crowd out all Others. 898S888SBXXKS88BB i g X TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY K ■ M — s 5S From the Dally Democrat File S S Twenty Yean Ago Thia Day 8 3 ft xxxKBBtgxsBBBBBBS t March 2, 1906 —Many from here are attending Ben Hur at Fort Wayne today.

(liana and Kentucky. The roads in 1 this state, many of them, are escep- a tionaily fine and they sure are used, t More cars to the square inch than I t ever saw and more tourists than have < ever been in the south before. Much < is being said as we read and heard [1 that the boom was over and the bOAst- 1 cd increase in population and wealth 1 was mythy and would soon vanish, in * fact 1t was practically over or all • up for her now, and that prices would tall and fortunes be lost. There are many hero Who would be glad if the 1 prices would take a slide down oh ( •something as some are higher than ( ever before. Os course the building boom and 1 the real estate game is a tong story and there are many opinions favorable and otherwise, in fdet it must be seen to become a reality Unci b e believed. but without any exageration or abuse of the truth it ts certainly marvelous the amount of money being spent here for only pleasure; but not all cither, for there are many who have experienced the return to hcSlth from severe illness for being in this Warm sunny climate. Ai to the permanence of values and the certainty, of protits on Investment’s that too hard for me to answer. ' One thing IS certain. I think, and that is the ocean is permanently located for the cast boundry of Florida. and . the climate will not vary much in the ' years to come. Mosquitoes are less numerous, they are building more hotels and rooming house apartments. !; churches and s’ehoois and filling sta lions,- and building up some very fine' ; cities. What may bo In store for the future-no'one can. tell. Whether the I unccftilhty Is greater heto'ihan else-' i. where may, depend largely' upon the < general prosperity of the states. One f thing is certain here they could hardjly take care of many more tourists I’than are here this season. Many sky•lserapers are going up, now a new Y.

Mar. 2—Refused an appeal by the Ohio state supreme court. Orel Meyer left Monday for Columbus. Ohio, to begin his two-year term on conv.c-j ’ tion of assault with attempt to rape. | Only fifteen minutes was given the j defendant and his attorney by the i supreme court judge to show reason, i why the case should be reconsidered > by the supreme court. The law in Ohio is different from that of Indiana, and the appellant must petition the higher court to hear its appeal, and the court must rule on its petition as to whether it will consider the case or not. The court does not have to , give its opinion on the matter, ami ' as in the case of Meyer it gave its refusal without comment. This is final and it was necessary for Meyer to begin his prison term at once. Meyer was arrested in Findlay. Ohio, on a charge filed against him by Miss Edith Beuprey, of tint city, who alleged that the defendant took her auto riding with him on March 18, 1925. and assaulted her. The case was tried in the Findlay J circuit court on May 5, 1925. before I Judge W. Ft. Duncan and a jury. The j girl, her mother, nnd two police offi- j c-ers. appeared as witnesses for tlm j state. Bluffton business men appeared for the defendant. The decision — | New Method Quickly Banishes Heavy Coughs Why be annoyed and weakened by persistent, strength-sapping coughing spells when you can, through a very simple treatment, quickly stop all irri i tation and very often banish the trouble : entirely in 24 hours? This treatment is based on the fa- | , mous prescription known as Dr. King’s | New Discovery for Coughs. You take just one teaspoonful at bed • time and hold it in your throat for 15 or 20 seconds before swallowing it. The prescription has a double action. It not only soothes and heals soreness and irritation, but it quickly removes the phlegm and congestion which are the rxtl cause, of night coughing. Thus, with the ‘hroat soothed and cleared, coughing stops quickly and you sleep all night undisturbed. Dr. King’s New Discovery is for coughs, chest colds, sore throat, hoarseness, bronchitis, spasmodic croup, etc. Fine for children as well as grownups—no harmful drugs. Economical, too, as the dose is only one teaspoonful. At ail good druggists. Ask for •kPWUqN lljcfjQwpp ► ■HH ' [Smb, 0 $5,000.00 Radio Essay r Contest of the Radio i.
