GRANDSTAFF THE AMENDMENTS: — In the coming election you will be given the opportunity to vote upon four amendments to the constitution' of Indiana. This is the only way in which the fundamental law of the. state can be changed and whether you } are democrat, republican or independent. you will be interested and should be in these amendments. Number one provides for the classi-' fication of voters and if this would | mean, as some maintain, a permanent j registration in only those counties | where it is needed we would be heartily for it but it also includes the right for the legislature to provide for election of judges and for township trustees on other days than that of regular elections, entailing extra costs ami difficulties. Don’t you feel we have enough elections now? Number two calls for a redistricting of the state each six years for senatorial and representative districts and gives the right to change the number of such officers according to the number of votes cast. We fail to see an advantage. Nuuioi r three u designed to make the term of all county officers four years, which could be controlled, we are informed, under the present laws by the legislature and without changing the constitution. Number four is the income tax' amendment and reads: —"The general I assembly may levy and collect a tax upon income from whatever source derived, at such rates, in such manner and with such exemptions as may be prescribed by law.” That seems a very wide power to extend to the legislature and we do not understand why those in favor of such a law did not, specify in the proposed amendment what they have in mind. This amendment gives the legislature the right to enact any law along this line they desire, it might be either good or bad and may be opening the door to unlimited tax increases. To carry any of these amendments, a majority of the vote cast for the officer receiving the highest number of votes, is necessary. We urge you to read them over carefully and vote your own best judgment. We have arrived at the very eve of another election. The campaign is practically over and we believe the voters understand the issues and have acquainted themselves with the fact that every democratic candidate is clean, capable and deserving. Its up to you nov# to cast your vote Tuesday and to assist in getting out a vote which will express the will of the people. Two years ago the stayz

|at home vote could have changed the f results in many Instances and we are hoping that sufficient interest will be manifested Tuesday that this will not occur again. We are sure that is true ’• but we want you to help make the j vote a hundred per cent. ’’ in the Legion magazine published at Indianapolis today, Albert J. Beveridge practically advises the repubI, Beans of Indiana to clean house. He l * made this startling statement over j* bls signature: "It our party candl--5 dates are not the equals of the candl- ® dates of another party in integrity, J courage and sense, then we ought to vote for the other fellows." Thats about as straight as he could tell his co-republicans what they ought to do but he goes on to elaborate as to the professionals in state politics and the misuse of party machinery. Yep, Al ’ Graham was right. You ought to vote ■it straight—Democratic. "The republican party is due for a licking next Tuesday," said Colonel George Harvey, internationally known political writer and worker who up to date has never missed a guess on the outcome of an election. He added this: "There is always a reaction against a party which has been a long time in power. That is only normal, but this is going to be an abnormal reaction and will extend from Massachusetts to Oregon." We don’t know so much about other states but we feel feel sure the colonel is exactly right so far as Indiana is concerned. Hallowe’en and time for the ghosts ’to walk and the boys and girls, young and old are celebrating it. There’s : always a good time on these masI querade occasions and we are hoping ' every one just has a bushel of fun. but we also hope the young folks will I not use their energy in the destruction 'of property. If they do, prosecutions ' will have to follow and no one wants 1 that. Have a good time but remember that when you destroy property some one is the loser. Chairman Graham has taken down Ins yellow ballot, realizing that it | didn’t fit very well with his one ‘ beI ware of campaign lies.” He has also ! gone to the trouble of hunting them up whe.re they had been distributed and called them in. He is also keeping hidden the “vote it straight” cards but thats just what he and his henchmen propose to do. Will you be tooled in to splitting your ticket so they can come around after election and tell you they licked you? • “■ ■ > -< Why change? The answer is easy. Vare in Pennsylvania where millions were used; Smith in Illinois, where 'one man gave $200,000; corruption in Indiana and in a dozen other states. The trouble is with a lot qf office holders and seekers that they seem to think they own the country and its their duty to divide it among themselves. Right this year is the time | to swat them. |’ How can you vote for Watson or i Robinson when yom think of the terrible political conditions brought about in Indiana because of them? How can you support that party when such leaders as Raveridge and Wasmuth and others declare it is "neither possible or desirable to win”? The I democratic state ticket is sound and safe. Take no chamces. Vote in the circle with the rooster. a Why has there been no announce--3 ment concerning the Decatur postI office appointment? Is Congressman r Vestal afraid to nrnke his announcement before election? i, , j r 0 Watch the vote for Harl (Spot) r Hollingsworth in Geneva and Wabash II township, next Tuesday. That will be e tiie best proof that they think he is alright. And if you want to know about a man. ask the folks at home. >f - 8 BE SURE TO ATTEND THE e SMOKER AT DEMOCRATIC HEAD c QUARTERS THIS EVENING. YOU t ! WILL ENJOY IT . s —— p Vote Tuesday.

“Your Health” This Column Is conducted by the Adame County Medical Society and the Indiana State Medical Association In the Interest of the public’s health. Don't Cail Him "Doc!" What physicians like to be called Doc?” Answer from a loud and ever-swelling chorus— "Nobody!" How many medical men are called "Doc?" Answer —soto voice—"all of them." The late Doctor Phineas 8. Conner, of Cincinnati, was wont to tell his students that "When a man first calls you ’Doc’ or mispronounces your name, reprove him gently. When he repeats the offense, reprove him profanely. When he does it a third time, knock him down.” A phyeician in Minnesota has suggested the utilization of a dignified protest against the employment of this appellation, which he would have printed rather nicely on a card in sizable type, so that it might be framed and hung in the office for the common herd to read, absorb and take unto itself. The suggested protest contains a wealth of wisdom: I am a Doctor of Medicine. My title is Doctor. • The word doctor means a teacher — a learned man — one schooled in a learned profession. The degree of Doctor is the highest by any university and indicates that its owner is to be classed with the most highly educated men. Any man should be proud to possess -this degree and to be designated "Doctor," but no self-respeoting professional man desires to be called "Doc," which is a despicable mutilation of a most honorable title. No other title is similarly abused. Does one ever hear the possessors of these titles called by an abbreviation —Pres (ident) , Gov (ernor). Sen (ator), Cong (ressman), Gen (eral),< Col (onel),.Rev (erend)? Cultured people never address a physicians a s "Doe" and other people should not do it. No man is harmed by being so addressed, but when a person calls a physician "Doc,” the doctor's or-’uion of him is lowered. When a physician is addressed as "Doctor," he recognises the speaker as a person of superior intelligence who respects himself, and honors the profession. Drop “Doc" and cultivate Doctor. — Reed & Carnrick Medical Quarterly. — o — Department Commends Domestic Rabbit Meat Washington. Oct. 3(/. — (United Press.) —Domestic rabbit meat is the chicken's nearest rival, according to the agriculture department. Housewives are told by the government that rabbits raised for meat ar« rich with food value and have delicious flavor. ♦ "Domestic rabbits have clean habits. Their diet, consisting chiefly of oats, barley and alfalfa hay, makes the meat sweet and tender," the partment said. To promulgate the popularity of rabbit meat, the depatrment has issued colored posters, picturing dressed rabhlts and plates of friend and baked rabbit meats. —o —« — Shark Killing Permit Given By Government Havana, Cuba, Oct. 30. — (United Press.)—Shark killing on. a comtnercial scale has begun on the south coast of Cuba as a result of a concession granted by the'Cuban government to a Havana concern. Sharks ranging from-five to 19 feet in length swarm the waters surrounding the island. Numerous copplaints have been made to the government by fishermen that sharks are devouring smaller fish so rapidly that unless prompt actiou is tak<?u edible fish will be driven from the Cuban fishing banks.

Weather Hastens Furs; ' Light Colors Popular By Hedda Hoyt (United Press Staff Correspondent) New York, — (United Press)-—-The first hint of cold weether haa brought out n sprinkling of fur coats, most of which are of the sports variety. The darker and more conservative fur garments .will appear later on but at present lighter weight models in tawny colorings are the rule. Among ! them are leopard, chipmunk, giraffe, , gaaelle, shaved lamb, and mole seal || or rabbit dyed in bolden shades. Yellowish furs are used in entire ( coats and ns trimming on dark cloths;] coats. Golden-dyed seal is one of the I] new sports pelts and while it is hea- < vier than most of the snorts models ] it is extremely pretty. ] leopard trimmed in golden dyed < seal, red fox or In beaver is a familiar ( combination. Shaved lamb models are ] quite generously worn. Fitch, either i In the natural yellowish tones or sable- , dyed, is a lightweight coat of the more j expensive type which ceveral women have worn at Country Clubs of 'ate A short jacket of chipmunk worn with a brown duvetyn skirt caused some comment on Fifth Avenue this week. Only occasionally, however do we ' see any evidence of the short coat on j the streets or in the shops .F'ull length models are shorter by three inches this year than they were last Fall, owing to the shorter skirt lengths. | FMr is the favored trimming for col- ( , ored eoats and often the collar makes use of an entire animal including the head and tail, giving the effect of a ! separate fox scarf. No certain ihade of fox rules this year since blue fox, , beige fox. red fox. silver fox and cross fox are all used The most popular fur trimming for the black broadcloth i coat is gray or black oeracul. black ' monkey fur, broadtail, or natural lynx.' ■ Gray caracul often forms the nar-.; row shawl collar and extends down the’j side front to the hemline, being re-N peated in deep cuff treatment on the' slender coat sleeves While black car- 1 acul is very popular it is not as youth- ' ful as gray. Collars of albotros feathers have been worn by several smart women who chose black costumes. '
