Carpenter Company, ijj Michigan Avenue, Chicago If this freezing weather continues much longer we will begin to Irave more respect for that Chicago man who predicted we would have no summer. We have attended many meetings of the Indiana Democratic Editorial Association and they have all been delightful but we don’t mind saying! to you that the one at Martinsville, -Friday and Saturday of last week was the happiest and the hiost pleasant of of them. Martinsville is not only a wonderful city because of its heath restoring waters but because of the hospitality of 5,500 mighty fine citizens • who know how to do things and who leave nothing out of a program that will make the visitors remember them. — Through the courtesy of Will Hays, the editors, visitors and several hun- ~ dred Martinsville people were shown the greatest picture of the year, “The .ißig Parade." Mr. Hays also furnished the orchestra from the English opera “■ house at Indianapolis and the entertainment was one of the pleasant features of the two days program. The Daiiv Reponter and the Martinsr . | ville Democrat issued special editions. ” for the editorial meeting and they, were editions of which the people of -•-that city as well as the management of the newspaper can feel proud. They covered the program completely, gave data and Information, advertised Martinsville and extended a hearty welcome to the visitors. The Better Homes Exposition was not a howling financial success but otherwise it was a great event. Ex-' hlbitors were more than pleased and the people who attended the event were delighted. The weather interferred considerably and the fact that this city needs a public auditorium, where such affairs could be condrfcted was quite evident. We hope similar expositions will be held annually for they can be made real events for the benefit of everyone. The federal grand jury in Indianapolis has indicted sixty-three people at Vincennes, in&tiding the mayor, chief of police and prosecuting attorney. for conspiracy to violate the federal prohibition laws. It is charged that the bootleggers and hi-jackers have been running and indulging in till kinds of corrupt practices and that even school boys and girls have been victims. If the charges are true, there will be little sympathy for those accused, no difference what their position, their politics or anything else. The house of congress has defeated the Haugen price stabilization bill, i>,3.w»s predicted from the start. The present administration is opposed to anything except those tyhish are of dll c’ benefit to a few eastern manufacturers and linkers. Repudiated «. In a half dozen elections this year, they -pparently fkil ’o the handwriting or hear the thunder of .protests which w’tll continue to roll np w over the mid west and far west, the couth and the north. Government should be for all the people, not a ' pa’t of them or not restricted to any ’ "cLjh of the country. Ottr kats are off t» mayor Sartar, • Julies, Mike King, members of the

If there was a thing forgotten we haven’t thought of it. There was the pleasure of the reunion with friends, i fish try on top of one of the high • hills, wonderful drives, a big speech 1 by Hon. Evans Woollen, a big man. ' 1 "The big parade,” a breakfast for i' the ladies, political sessions and a great banquet and it was all given in the finest manner imaginable and we left with the feeling that the people of that splendid city had cn- ’ joyed the occasion, too. | Evans Woollen, democratic candidate for senator of the United States i ils one of the clearest thinking men U'e have heard discuss political problems in many years. His address at. the editorial meeting Friday evening was one of the great speeches in recent years and if Mr. Woolens doesn t 1 impress his wonderful personality upon the voters of this state this year we miss our guess. You will like him and as he has already closed his desk and started his campaign, which is to take him into every county in the state, the probabilities are you will have a chance to hear him. Mr. Woollen says that if elected to the senate he will voke only after he has asked himself three questions: Is it proposed to do something for the people they can do for themselves? If so he is against it. Second, “is It proposed to do something • through the nations which the states can do?” If so he is opposed. Third, "is it proposed to do something for some people at the expense of others?” ’if so he is opposed. Mr. Woollen be- ’ lieves we are over governed and over I taxed and that the farmer has been made the goat of every proposition. Look out for Mr. Woollen. He looks like a real leader for Indiana and the nation. —o gSSKRSSBSK3SKSSB| ■ TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY F 8 From the Dally Democrat File B 54 Twenty Years Ago Thio Day 3 ■ * |!9SSSSIRKi9<SS>BBKSS May 24—Homer LoWer and Jesse E.
