A dollar a democrat will finance the campaign, make it easy for every one and pel mlt the leaders of the state committee to present the issues to the people without a single promise to any big corporation or interest. Don't you believe that's really better for you as a citizen of Indiana? if you was in charge of a section of the American coast and a rumrunner came along and offered yon 130,000 for letting him in with his cargo, would you take the money or arrest the man who made the offer? One of the offcials has just admitted that he had such a temptation—and fell. Fond parents who probably are fonder of sensations which wiU get them front page publicity, took their babe up two miles in an airplane to be christened. The rite is a very sacred one if taken seriously, and not one which should be used for scare head purposes. There are- a lot of silly people in the world. With expenses of government in Indiana six times as large as under the last year of the Ralston administration. the average citizen knows that somehow and some way he is paying more and he can't help wondering what will become of that sixteen million dollar surplus in the state treasury and who will get it.

It costs but three dollars for adults to attend every performance, and children but half that amount. You can't afford to miss if you cate for good programs. It took a West Virginia jury only five minutes to find a fifteen-year-old boy guilty of murder and fix his pourhment at death, and now the public is shocked and the usual effort to save his "neck” will be made. The murder he committed was cruel and heartless and severe as it seems to thus take the life of a mere boy it is also serious to permit crime to inc. ease. A flfteen-year-old boy can be just as vicious as a man three or four times that old. President Coolidge and his political strategists are making an effort to convince the public that prosperity unetjualed is now abroad, that the farmer -is bettor off than ne thinks he is, that everybody is riding in fine cars, and you folks who t “• '’7ou are having a difficult time to make ends meet don> know what •you are talking about. Os course that’s a matter that the individual knows more about than the politicians. but that doesn't stop them trying to put it over on you. They have pulled the same stunt so often that they won't believe it isn’t good until they have been notified to that effect by the voters on election day. You answer for' yourself.

, on developments in the public health field, with particular reference to the six most important diseases, to which i Hoosiers, as well as the people, of the country at targe, are heir. Twenty years of organized anti-tuberculosis work has seen the death rate per hundred thousand population cut in . half. Tuberculosis, however, while It has lost its position at the top of , the diseases in total number of lives ■ taken annually, continues to be the most important cause of death because at least one-half of the deaths ■ each year are of persons between the ages of fifteen and thjrty-nine years —when human beings are at the ' zenith of their earning power and normally are most useful to society. The figures just compiled show that in Imnhna tuberculosis now is sixth among the important diseases in point of total of lives taken in the state each year. In 1324. heart dis ease, cerebral hemorrhage, Bright's disease, cancer and pneumonia, in the order named, exceeded tuberculosis in the number of deaths, tout it is clearly shown that the vast number of those who die from tuberculosis now are those who normally would be in the prime of life, whereas the five diseases now excelling tuberculosis in total number of deaths annually claimed their victims after dissolution had set it, beyond the age 1 1 of sixty years. Figures for the country as a whole indicate approximately the same results. o f*««44>4>44******* ♦ + + TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY + + + + From the Daily Democrat File + ! + Twenty Years Ago This Day. + 4- + +++++++++ ++ + + + + * August 20.—County) Superintend ent L.
