'SPELLING BEE TRIUMPH:— • These are the days of competition, when contestants strive to be known as the most beautiful, the best orators, the best swimmers, runners, junipers and so ou. In Detroit 15,000 persons gathered last Friday to see a winner chosen. As the judges announced their decision the Detroit News describes the throng: “Madness fell upon them, indeed, and cheers, yells, whistles, a sudden shifting and surge of colors that were dim in the early twilight within the giant arena. Out rolled the drums, and crashed the cymbals, out poured the chant of victory, the wild chant that hail neither tune nor words, but was the expression of thousands trying to tel! the girl who wanted to smile but whose throat was tight and tears were close, that she had won I and they knew it and were glad and proud to be there and see the race completed.” This was not a 500-mile race. It was a spelling bee, and the 15,000 were congratulating thirteen-year-old Vivian Bremer on her victory. Vivian ( will go to Washington this month to < represent Detroit in a spelling bee that will be nation wide. The Detroit district champions went, to their seats on such words as “magnifying.’' “ob- < taining.” "shunned,” "unappetizing,” , “melee,” “paraffin,” "alkali," “sorI c<Wer.” "foreboding,” "accoustics” and “rendezvous.” When there were only three left “anchovies” took one of , them. Two girls remained, one from . the extreme eastern portion of De- . troit and the other from the west , end. Carol Cremer became a victim ( of “meningitis.” Vivian Bremer ( spelled it correctly, and the contest ] was won. , Th e spelling match has been a big j thing for Detroit. At the finals the ( Governor of Michigan was present. The state superintendent of public instruction and other educational , authorities were there. They are de- , termined to show that spelling is not , a lost art, and that as much interest , can be aroused in something connected with educational, activities as t usually is shown for school sports. Such contests as this, and th e or- | atorical contest in which many Indi- j ana boys and girls took part, are in- ; dications that the days of being ’ studious and taking an interest in things worth while are not over.— Indianapolis News. We wish every voter in Indiana would read carefully the able speech made by the Hon. Daniel Simms, of Lafayette, as temporary chairman of the democratic convention this week. Mr. Simms is a thinker, a friend of all the people, not an aspirant for office but desirous only of aiding his fellow man. He covered the entire situation and bis speech should be made the basis of the coming campaign and probably will be. The platform adopted was in line. The proposed county unit was opposed, centralization of power condemned, recommendation made that the primary law be repealed excepting as to counties where choice can be made, favored amendment io the budget law and was so strong as to even receive the approval of the Indianapolis News and other large republican and independent newspapers. Now the proper way to approve all the-good things promulgated is to elect the ticket. Political guessers, lookout for Woolens and Stump. That, a pair of stal-

Mr. Woolens is considered a leader among Hoosier business folks and Mr. Stump is a splendid lawyer and an orator of ability. They liave started their campaign now and while Watson and Robinson may smile at the easy battle ahead, we predict they will be badly frightened before election day and sadly disappointed after the votes {ire counted. Indications are that the present primary law is doomed. Both the republican and democratic parties have planked against it in their platforms and its on e of the leading questions ihe next general assembly will have to dispose of. It you favor it or oppose it you might tell your representative and senator-elect how you feel. lowa republicans will fight it out to a finish Monday when Brookhart, recently ejected from the United States senate will meet Cummins, the old man ot his state for the nomination for the latter's seat. It's a Coolidge and anti-Coolidge fight and will be further evidence of the direction the western wind is blowing politically. The delegates to the democratic state convention this week are happy because of the approval given generally to the work done. A splendid platform, a ticket that ought to win, a general feeling ot getting together for the good of all the people resulted and assures « fighting, up and going party with the slogan "the democrats are coining.” A Salemville, Pennsylvania, man wanted a son as his heir and when the nurse announced the new arrival a girl, dad, whose name by the way was Borotsky, went out and got drunk, whipped his wife and then shot himself. Good riddance. It it had been a boy he would have been so happy he would have probably had to do the same thing or something else just as devilish. William Vare, nominated for United States senator by the republicans of Pennsylvania, admits spending $71,435. which is his salary for the entire term. He may be a good man but thats too much money and just (couldn't b e necessary surely. —~o ■ TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY t * JI From th, Dally Democrat File ■ 8 Twenty Year, Ago This Dey I ssssHsaasss*® 8888 June s—Many county democrats go to Indianapolis to attend sate convention, R.

He would not do the things called work Unless the tasks were pleasant, His duty must not bind an irk, Joy must be ever-present; And so he searched the city through To find the job he'd like to do. Now there's a chasm which divides Man's work from his playing And one can’t occupy both sides, Which goes without my saying: There is no job on earth today Which pleases one so well a>s play.

The things we really like to do Is seldom honest toiling. It's seeing irksome duties through Which keeps the kettle boiling: And if it’s work, beyond a doubt. Somewhere it calls for courage stout. And so from post to post he went. To find a job which .suited, But everywhere in discontent Away from tasks he scooted; He wanted work which seems like Ploy, And that does not exist today. —Edgar A.
