Monroe, smallest unit of those in the county, assessed for the fund for club work in Adams county, have sett in their total amount of forty-eight dollars, thus displaying the right spirit in a right cause. So they have vice rings in Pitts burgh, Detroit and Canton. We was beginning to feel that it was all centered in Chicago and we wondered if some of these other "tough" places wouldn’t begin to get jealous soon. Come on boys, shoot a dollar through for the Benjamin Franklin highway association. We need about ninety yet to complete the job and then we will stop nagging about it. Its such a fine project that we don't want to see Adams county lag in it. According to an editorial headed "The reckless driver" in yesterdays edition of th e Adams County Witness, Berne citizens are not surprised at the accident which occurred to Mr. Steiner of that city Sunday, causing the death of two people and the news only caused comment there, "That's what I've been looking for this long while.” Trouble seems to accompany fame. Harold "Red" Grange, famous footbafl star who piled up money so rapidly last autumn that he had to employ clerks to comply with the income tax laws has been made the co-respondent in a divorce case filed by Charles A. Taylor, a wealthy Los Angeles oil man. The complaint charges that Mrs. Taylor met Grange in his hotel room. How about the weeds’ Have you positively your final week of grace A".d if you neglect this Important job, the city force will have to do the job at your expense and it will probably cost considerable more than if you do it yourself or hire it done. Do it in such a manner as to show cooperation for with the weeds all cut a thousand per cent is added to the appearance and health of your city. The difficulties - into “which Mr. Steiner of Berne is thrown because of the fatal accident which occurred Sunday when his car collided with another near Celina, are deply regretted by the many friends of the young man in this county and yet these are difficulties almost sure to result unless we drive with exceeding care. The accident and its ter-i---ble results should serve as a lesson to others. The Indianapolis News cries that its unfair to charge th P defeat of the Haugen farm relief bill to the republicans because three democratic senators also voted against the bill. They seem to forget however that it was the influence of President Coolidge, Secretary of the Treasury Mellon and Senator Fess of Ohio which finally defeated the bill. Its a republican failure and they know it. That’s why they are trying to throw dust in your as the campaign opens. Senator Fess who with President Coolidge and Secretary Mellon opposed any relief that would relieve farmers and who never did and never will do any thing which he thinks will revise the tariff downward, now announces in a smooth Jim Watson manner that he feels sure the next

-- ■ “ - ■■ ■ ■ I congress will do something for the ' farmer. For five or six years they have promised the same thing and with the same results and th* voters will hardly feel like taking their word for It this year. Stop "yer kid-. ’. din*.” 1 City departments at Indianapolis ’, propose to increase the tax levy for, that city twenty-six cents on the hundred dollars and of course itl | j causing an uproar of disapproval. We j are a strange acting people. The 5 year around except when it comes • time for fixing tax levies we urge. 1 improvements, knowing they will 1 cost money and that we as the stockholders of a community must pay it and then we insist on a levy Insuf-. flcient to meet the expense. Indianapolis is not greatly different from other communities. Every time congress quits because Washington's summer is unbearable . and every time the President takes to northern woods because Washing-! ton Is hot and humid, the subject of a new national capital is agitated. If I climate were the only objection in Washington, we could dismiss the subject without loss of time. For climate is the least objection to Washington as the national capital. Washington’s location on one edge of a country that stretches three thorns- J and miles to the west condemns it for I governmental headquarters. Such a I location keeps the eyes and the minds I of the government itself glued upon I a province, a very narrow strip of I country along the Atlantic coast. Our I government is isolated in its capitol. I Its isolation has made it provincial I and has easily encouraged its bureau- I cratic tendencies. It is readily acces- I sible to a portion of the country that I tees it for selfish ends to the disad- I vantage of the sections more remote.,l 11 A nation’s capital may not be located I us ours is located and maintain a I vision as broad as the country itself I and as sympathetic as the diversified I interests of its people demand. The I evils which we suffer on account of I the location of Washington will in-J crease with time. They are not yet ! clear to many but they are going to, become clear. Present conflict tween the east and west, with Wash- J ington prejudiced toward the east, will open many eyes. The removal of the national capital to a central site is not a fanciful subject for discussion.—lllinois State Journal. — o 3 TWENTY YEARS AttO TODAY R 3 ■ ■ From the Dally Democrat Filo ■ & Twenty Year* Ago Thio Day 8 > iiitthtw irivrr? j July 22.
