This first day of summer starts off as though we are to have some real weather. Three boys and three girls were boating up in the Michigan straits Sunday afternoon and the happy crowd induced one of the boys to dance the charleston in the boat. Five of them were drowned. Why will people be foolish? Congress has declined to fix a date for adjournment, probably desiring to await returns from a few more primaries. It had been planned to quit June 26th and then it was decided to wait until the 30th. Now its all off and the date may depend on the weather and a few other incidents. And while other things are happening, don’t overlook a dollar membership in the Benjamin Franklin highway association. It may mean something to you and Is sure to be of great benefit to the community over a period of years. By the way, yesterday was the longest day of the year. Did it seem so to you? After all its all together in your min i. If you keep busy with clean effort, doing something for some one else, seeking the best, the hours and days and w*eeks and years slip by too rapidly. There seems to be a wide difference in costs of primary camaigns. Three candidates for United States senator in Pennsylvania spent over three million dollars, perhaps twice that if the truth were known, while out in lowa, Brookhart, candidate for the same office. didn't spend a penny and his friends contributed but $1,5u0. Plans for a vigorous political campaign in Indiana are under way by both parties and while you may not see great results for the next few weeks you may feel assured that the big scrap next fall will be sufficiently interesting to let you know just what the issues are and who the candidates are and have been. E. E. Beidleman, who was a candidate for governor of Pennsylvania in ithe recent primary now claims he was counted out. As evidence he recites that in on e precinct in Pittsburg. one of his watchers left the polls twenty minutes to get a lunch. Up to the time he left but twentylive votes had been cast and when he returned there were 458 votes in the ballot box. Quick work, we would say, but we 'don’t understand why “Beidy” didn't have that fellow take his ‘'dinner pail” with him. It has b m suggested that this community petition the state highway commission to formally take over th£ east and west road from the state line to Huntington. This road was a part of the eight hundred miles tentatively taken over some weeks ago but so far nothing has been done except the survey. Naturally the commission take over those roads which are urged with the greatest enthusiasm and some action from this county would no doubt hurry it along. The country club committee will meet this evening to plan a membership campaign. Decatur folks scarcely realize the fact that this community is securing one of the finest golf courses in the entire middle west, but an hours walk over the grounds will convince you that is the fact and that

You will want to be a member and your application now will be appreciated. t ===== | Early Sunday morning the state police brought an automobile road test run to a conclusion by arresting , the driver on a charge of violating the state road speed law. He was found guilty, fined and obliged to giv e ui> his plan. Such law breaking has occurred without punishment in the past, and the impression has been created that all a driver has to do to place himself above the law is announce that he is going to make a speed test. State motor policemen do not interfere with drivers who are within reasonable range of the limit of thirty-five miles an hour. But setting a schedule which calls for sustained driving at much higher speeds and allows for no precautionary measures at crossroads or in cities involves a traffic menace. The arrest and finding of the so-called test driver Sunday has been approved bySecretary of State Schortemeier, administrator of the state police force. The episode is a warning to drivers that all such demonstrations will be halted if they cpme to the attention of the state police. There is no provision in the law for licensing any breakneck test run over roads the safety of which depends upon proper respect for the law. Facilities for testing cars are necessary but manufacturers will not insist that these be furnished without proper safeguard and at public peril. — Indianapolis News. o I TWENTY YEARB AGO TODAY ■ S] F N From th# Daily Democrat Filo ■ H Twenty Year* Ago This Day B 9 June" 22—Decatur refuses offer of franchise in Interstate baseball league.

Tiicse have spoiled the wprld far me, Selfishness and spite and hath. False conceptions of the great. Shames which never ought to be. Wrongs I never meant to do. All have marred my journey through. In the crisis I have stood Strong enough to meet the test, Sorely tried I've done my best, Given to life what strength 1 could. But when trifling cares assailed, Then so often I have failed.

Little things have spoiled my fame. Needless angry wards I’ve said; Firey moments, quickly sped, Leaving vivid welts of shame; These my record had not marred Had I constantly kept guard.

Get Quick Quaker. Food that's delicious ; food that "stands by” through the morning. Start each day that way. I Quick Quaker
