If you haven't j had your dog vaccinated, don't turn i 1 \ him out on the street unmuzzled for ( it becomes the duty of the police! ( officers to put him away for keeps. , As a newspaper we try to stand for those things which we believe of ( greatest importance to the commun- ( ity. That's why we devote a lot of i space to churches and schools. Wei. believ c that these are the greatest agencies in the community for pro- r gross and for good. 11 Its just a little early yet to say > whether the 75th session of the Indi-. * ana legislature will be a diamond 1 jubilee or an old-fashioned hair pull-' 1 ing contest. So far nothing has de-; 1 f veloped to disclose either the real | feeling or the strength of any faction.; but if it doesn't occur we will agree that Governor Jackson has an excellent oil can qud knows how to use it. Edward Toner, editor of the Ander- * son Herald and one of the best known v - newspaper men of central Indiana, died yesterday after an illness of . several months. Mr. Toner was a u leader, a man of strong convictions, was twice a candidate for the repub-, licau nomination for governor and j v,'u.> considered—a' pewet’ in this congressional district. His death is v sincerely mourned by his many friends in everv part of the state. : _________ c Eighty people, mostly children, met ’ death in a theatre fire at Montreal. 1 1,500 children were rescued when a 8 fire destroyed a school at Philatfel- 1 phia and 200 boys were saved from 1 horrible deaths when an academy.' was burned at Front Royal. Va., all: 8 within twenty-four hours. Are teach-' 1 ers giving proper attention to fire drills? We are not asking it for any < reason but to call attention to the 1 f importance of drills and all other pre-1 cautions. We can’t be too careful. i — Aimee Semple McPherson, the Los 1 Angeles evangelist who received national publicity when her story of, ( kidnapping was made the basis for a . criminal prosecution has been set: free, her case having been dismissed by the prosecuting attorney who admits the collapse of his case. Now she will go on the lecture platform and the box office will bo sold out far In advance in every city in the land. Incidentally if she has a real message she will have the opportunity of putting it over. It pays to advertise. Twenty-four years ago tomorrow appeared the first number of the ~ Daily Democrat and so tomorrow we " really start on our twenty-fifth year in this field. It has been a busy quarter century for us, with its ups and downs, its reverses and successes, its battles of one kind and another, but through It all w e have tried honestly, faithfully and earnestly to give you a home newspaper that would fill your demands and desires. We wish to continue to do so and we promise you again all our efforts In that jhrecliou. if we cuu serve you in any way so far as furnishing news

or supporting worthy enterprises yo i have but to command us. We appn elate your loyqlty which has bee demonstrated In so many ways au wo hope you will continue by r.enev ing your subscription at once. W are for you, one and all, and we us' t your cooperation. 1 If Bill Vare ever breaks into th. United States senate he will do s< only by breaking down stiff oppo sition. This was indicated yesterdai • when Governor Pinchot refused t< ( certify him as "having been dulj j chosen by the qualified electors.” Tin i governor struck out those words am: inserted that "upon the face of re turns Vare appears to have been elected.” Then he wrote Vice-presl dent Dawes that he felt that Vare did not win honestly. With but one republican majority in the senate including about, a dozen which cannot b e relied upon the chonces for Vare seem rather slim. 1111 .. - ■J‘9 After the jazz is over, what then? After you settle down to consider life’s enduring values —homes,, upbringing of children, patriotism, friendships, duty, death, then you will begin to think In terms of religion. You may think you are as tough as the fellow who lived "down by the winneger woiks,” that you are different than any one else, but after all man is an incurably religious animal and when the time comes you will turn to religion as your only hope for the future. Then why not help those who are trying to turn the thoughts of the people away from the immaterial things to those which are after all the only things worth while? Thats the purpose of the simultaneous meetings in a number of churches her e and elsewhere over the county this week. Don’t you think it important? What is your duty to the church as an individual? Answer these questions to your own satisfaction and you are alright. ■ Rumors of the past several weeks that the Decatur-Fort Wayne traction line will suspend operation was confirmed today when it was announced from the main offices at Fort Wayne that application to suspend the line will be made to the public service commission. It is claimed that the line has lost $2,000 per month for Six I months past and that business over the line is gradually decreasing. I While our people will regret the decision of the owners, it is after all a ■ matter of “hard nosed” business. It was built twenty years ago and has had a rather rough experience in competition with the automobile and truck growth of recent years. Many people will be inconvenienced by the suspension of the line but there is of course a limit to the losses of a utility and if the business does not warrant a continuance we will probably not hrfVe it whether we like it or not. o 11. B. LaFountain, of south of the city, was a business caller in the city today. Miss Catherine Omlor began duties in the office of the State Insurance company, yesterday. She was formerly employed by the Cloverleaf Creamery. Miss Margaret Niblick spent Sunday in Fort Wayne, visiting with friends. Does your child cough at night?
