Stan » I 'v that tile avi'i'a. workman in 1927 will have a third more spending power than he had in 1913 and as Howard Wiaehaupt said i last night, "you can make 1927 just’ | what you want to make it.” The sleet and ice melted yesterday and the average person who drives a car is thankful for that. Driving was 1 difficult over Hie week-end, but today, the idd sun came out and made tilings look brighter and everyone feel that way. Please let us know if you are going to continue to take the Daily Democrat so that we may arrange our contracts and plan for the year. We want to serve you to the very best of our ability and we can do it better when we know as. nearly as how big our family of readers is to be this year. Senator James Reed, of Missouri J will b t > the headliner speaker at the' editotial banquet at Indianapolis to- . , idea what lie will say or whether we will be in accord, but we are anxious to learn ins attitude on the various big ques-'. tions for he is admitted to be a deep thinker and a wonderfully brilliant orator, second only to Senator Borah. The board : f directors of the Decatur Industrial Association is now ] composed of France Conter, Will linn. Avon Burk, George Krick, Dick Heller, Fred Ashbaucher, Cal Peter-! i son, Carl Pumphrey and Leo Kirsch. I These men w.iut to help the cotnmun-; ity arid by you supporting the ciation and offering helpful sugge tions to them you can do your share. ( **’ t Ninety-nine chance# out of one hundred that when you go to a city Wil rent' über seeing tin tallest buildiu and will take a drive down the bi a ■ vard of best residence street to see the beautiful homes. The finest will attract your attention and you will remember having seen them. , St. with your advertisement in the daily newspaper. The more attractive you make your message, the 'ii ... pr. do; ;: <■' on the page, the more the reading public mill notice it and read it. Try it. The members of the Decatur Industrial Association warmed up to the idea of having a monthly meeting or luncheon and when the new directors organize this subject may be taken up and acted upon. We believe that if the members met 'every month around tin tabli (;j,iiat subject o! interest and benefit to the community could be discussed and that a more unified program of activity could be worked out. it's not a bad thing to try and from the response the suggestion received last evening it appears that, a majority of Hie members would like to try it. Rev. Percy Stickney Grant, who denounced the doctrines of his church, •denied the divinity of Christ, advocated divorce and became engaged to a beautiful divorcee, Mrs. laydig, timidly resigning as rector of a fashionable New York City Episcopal church, is dead following an operation for appendicitis. He was a strong character of his kind and fought' desperately for his opinions, it would be interesting to have him ‘return for a daty now and tell us

Wi- very wisest t _ 9 lawyers say the tax bill 'Mt recent- , ly passed the senate cannot bo upheld by (he courts. Those advocating its passage will be wise to change It so ‘ it Is a law and not a political schltme. i I'aruK •» d o i:er want eii ya ; 1 need It and they should not let some I wise "bird" talk thikr into Handing fWr bills which cannot pass muster in the supreme tioiirt for Its a wash of time. * v ———————— Three directors, who with the six men who hold over, will comprise the board of directors of the Decatur Industrial Association were elected at the annual meeting of the organization held last evening. William Linn and Avon Burk, have been members of the board for several years ami are sincere and ardent workers. Leo j Kirsch, well known young man of this city is the new member and within a | few days the board will organize and elect officers. A program of activity for the welfare of th v city and tin ( community as a whole should'be plani ned and with everyone doing his bit this can be done. Mrs. Shrive, of Rusheen, England, is dead and finally buried, her third demise in thirty years. When twentyfive years old she died of lupus and was taken to the "undertakers. One of the men carrying the casket stumbled and she woke up. .Two years ago she died again and several hours later the mourners saw her open her eyes and motion to them. .This time the undertaker took n< ' ham es. He severed the arteries it 1 her wrists, not as barberous as it might seem, for it was done for fear she might regain consciousness when there was no one near to care sot her. Tito matter of giving *up the con venient headquarters of* the Decatur Indus -i.ii Association lias been d cussed and when the question of giving up the rooms or continuing to maintain them ,was brought up lasi evening sentiment seemed to favor the holding on to them. It was was through a lack of funds that the retiring board thought it itest to seek smaller quarters. The rooms have served as a public meeting place, but , of course if funds are not sufficient tb carry on the expense of maintaining them something will have to be done. The inaiter was referred to it lie new board of directors and some plan will be worked out, probably by sharing the expense with other organizations in the city. Howard Wiaehaupt, who gained a national reputation as the “pep man", now president of the Howard M[ise*iaupt school in Cleveland, came home last night to talk to the members of the Decatur Industrial Association and how the successful merchant or manufacturer enlarged his business ..nd increased his profit. A study of human nature, of the wants and needs of the customers, backed by consistent advertising and the selling of good merchandise is bound to bring ’!’»* ri'- ull; , Mr. TYisebaupt said. Since women do 73 per cent, of the buying. It behooves the merchant to study her likes and dislikes and to govern himself accordingly. Mr. Wifiehuupt’s talk was enjoyed by the one hundred men who were present at the banquet and his many friends here are prowl of the success he has made in the field of salesmanship, which has taken him to all parts of the country and gained for him the" reputation of bean ace salesman. o ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ + BIG FEATURES ♦ + OF RADIO * , WEDNESDAY’S FIVE BEST RADIO FEATURES WJZ —Hookup 8 stations 9:3tt pm.-*-I Sidrid Onegin, contralto, and orchestra. i: WEAF — Hookup 4 startions 9:30 pm.

Little Accomplished By Generdfl Assembly So Far State Legislature Finds Itself Faced With Record Os Not Having Passed A Single Piece Ot Constructive Legislation, As It Enters Last Three Weeks Os Session; Several Important Measures Must Either Be Killed Or Jammed Through In Eleventh Hour Rush.

By Waller A. Slmad. Written for the Dully Democrat. Indianapolis, Ind., Feb. 15.—Going into th e last three weeks of its session, the Seventy-fifth Indiana Gen- , M ! A- e.bly finds it.-, if fin ed wnh a record of not having passed a single piece ot constructive legislation, nor having passed a single measure of any importance thus fur. The legislature, which at the outi b;ule fair I make an enviable record, with a personnel generally above the average of legislatures, has dallied along uulil now with only three weeks to go it finds itself faced 1 with the following'important measures which wjll either have to be killed or jammed through in an eleventh hour rush: The $48,000,000 biennial appropriation bill which was introduced th, first w;ee’< of the session. A terrific fight is expected on this measure particularly by those interested in the nstVdtions of higher learning. The primary repeal measure. This hili with the backing of the state committees of both major parties and contained in both major party platforms has been hanging fire in tie state senate for two weeks ready for third reading, but for some unknown , reason has not been called down for action. The two major public utility measures, the Cann and the Moorhead bills. Both of these measures are on I third reading in the senate, made ; special orders of business for Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. , Neither can pass in their jnesent , forms. A flock of amendments are i expected to be offered on the Moor- i hegd. especially relating to the elec- ■ tire features of the iffWasure. The farm tax bill. This measure is now in the bouse and will be amended by ousting the two percent feature of the bill. Despite the furore which thfs measure has caused among tax experts, it is expected to pass Hie house and then the Governor is 1 expected to veto the measure, in order to preserve the power.of bis state tax boacd. Other important measures pending include the repeal of the absent voters law measure; the measure abol shing the state pardon board; the bill curbing the power of the state board

of uccountM and confining its powers to auditing; the measure which would cut the state board of education to five members and provide a new rm 'ml far their seh-elitMl, tin- central board of control for the state 1,, nevolent institution bilOind ntnuerous pt hers. fWs passed thus far have been . "back scratching" and log rolling measures of more or less selfislvnnd local import and backed by a certain clique or bloc. The republican state committee conspicuously absent during the first three Weeks of ths sestffon, or while *tbe Democratic legislative probe resolution was pending, has during the past two weeks come jnore into the open 'and attempted to establish a semblance of leadership, which has thus far failed. Every major measure \whlch has reared its head has been tainted and smeared with political pressure. The most outstanding inc'dent of political smearing has been the attempt of the C.. O. P. Trotter-Coffin-Walb-Emison- Fenton - Jackson machine to gain control of the George Rogers Clark memorial commission. The G. O. P. machine has made uo bones about their. intentions to control the commission which will have charge of approximately $2,000,000 worth of contracts iu cennection with the establishment ot the memorial at Vincennes. Thus far the attempts of the G. O. P. leaders has been blocked through the efforts of Senators Thurman A. Gottschalk, of Berne and Curtis A. Shake of Vincennes, both Democrats. The trouble irose over the position of former Governor James Goodrich as a membdr of tlie executive committee of the present historical commission. Good■i< h has long been a thorn in the ode of Clyde A. Walb and Lawrence \. Cartwright and while Goodrich ias never been given credit for any benevolent instincts, he has been one >f the mrtving spirits in getting the '’lark memorial though the legia'ature. r O James Smith, who has been employed by the Erie railroad company, in Huntington, has been transferred to this city and has started woYk as a lerk in the local office of the Erie company.
