Why can't the Monroe street bridge sides be reinforced with brick, thus saving the appearance and assuring a longer lifer The matter should immediately be taken up by the board of commissioners. , Attorney General Gilliom holds that Judge Dearth cannot be impeached by the state legislature and that Dale's only remedy of that kind lies with the courts. Seems like some one ought to know how an officer can be impeached. They are talking about an extra session but the chances are that if' Governor Jackson can prevent it there will be none. He has been "sitting on pins'* ever since this session started and he won’t take on another sixty ’days like it if he can avoid it. Ono more week and the legislature will close with the usual throwing oi l books, ink wells ami paper and a I record that will make most of the members of the majority disguise the fact that they had any thing to do: with the session of 1927. Because the president veoted the McNary-liaugen bill, wheat advanced a cent a bushel on the board of trade. RThats one trouble. Those fellows control prices of the product while the men who raise wheat have nothing to say about it. A slight raise in wheat now reflects nothing but that power in the wrong hands. Most of us are not interested in the Boulder dam bill in the United States senate but the filibuster which has become an endurance contest is at' trading attention as such things always do. We remember a few years ago a lot ot dunces tried to see how long they could dance and even in that crude method secured a first page headline. Did you ever stop to think that when times are not extra good, you have the greatest opportunity to succeed? Many fortunes have been made 4>y thousc who work a little harder, try a little more, advertise each day, when the others are losing out, bemoaning conditions and growling about the times. Samuel Instill has refused to testify before the senate investigating committee, practically telling them to take a "jump in the river.’’ Now we shall see whether or not there is any thing greater than a bluff back of the threats which have so frequently emiuated front that body. It they have the power to send at>y one to jail it looks as though the action by liisull would warrant it, but he is a wise man and probably knows just bow far he car. go. —-B-H-SBBHHSBBSW Brisbane, who is a great admirer and booster of President Coolidge, is evidently worried because of the reaction against him since lie vetoed the McNary-liaugen hili. Brisbane spends considerable time in the middle west and west and knows just how mad the. folks are aliout it. Ho advises Coolidge to increase the prices on cotton, corn, pork and wheat ami if he or any one else can do that under present conditions, why has it not been dqne during the past five or six years? Perhaps they don't want to. George Dale says lie will not return to Muncie until Judge Dearth con-

sents to the appointment of a special ’ judge and prosecutor to try the con- . tempt case against him which is perhaps the most pleasing news the judge has heard in some time. And he is not the only one over there who is , hoping that Dale continues his exile 1 indefinitely. Dale knows too much , and has a habit of telling it in away which leaves a very uncomfortable feeling among those who wish a repuI tation for respectability. ’I As was expected, Lowden for president stock took on quite a boom Saturday following the veto of the farm bill by President Coolidge. For some reason there is an idea that Lowden is a great friend to the farmer though why he should be wo have never been able to figure. Lowden is one of the real owners of the Pullman Car Company, is worth millions of dollars and operates a “show" farm near Chicago just for the fun of it, which is very different than farming for a living, we imagine. The efforts to repeal or amend the act which provides for a public service I commission in Indiana have all failed. The Moorhead bill which was believed by many to be a fair one for every one concerned was beaten so badly Saturday that those who boasted it didn’t have a chance are now credited with having known their business. There is without doubt a feeling against the utilities and the management, especially in some of the larger j cities and the fight has probably just started. A compromise might have been better all around. < Cal Peterson, newly elected president, of the Decatur Industrial Association, will announce his committees soon and will urge them to get busy. I The president cannot alone make any | progress, nor can the board of directors, unless supported by the membership and the citizens in general, but they can plan and urge others to do this. Frenquent meetings, hearing of reports, a few successes in the way of securing new industries, will make the year a ten time winner. We promise the new organization the same loyal support we have tried to give in the past lx>ts snap it up. o— — ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ * TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY ♦ * - ♦ ♦ From the Dally Democrat File ♦ ♦ Twenty Years Ago Thl» Day. ♦ *+*+++*♦♦♦♦**+♦« ' an.i Eli Christ named to assess real estate in De<atur.

Tlie Wright Players, offering “Baby Mine” for the week, excel previous laughmaking successes they have presented. “ ‘Baby .Mine’ is easy to play," Director John McKee of the company says, “it literally lifts the players off their feet and they play the parts because they must, so natural arc tho characters.” Arthur Kohl and Miss Frances Hail have the leading roles but the entire company does excellent work. "Baby Mine” centers about a youthful married couple. The husband longs for a baby. He leaves on a long business trip and his wife, hoping to hold him true to her, telegraphs him a baby has arrived at tlie home.

He immediately starts home and, warned by bis telegram, the wife hurries to borrow a baby to present to ’ him. Fearing some slip in her plans, she arranged for three instead of but one baby. Hut all three mothers repent of their bargains and demand return of their babies. Tlie complications are made 1 ami are uproariously funny. t "Baby Mine” will be offered with < the usual Wednesday and Saturday ; bargain matinees. Early sd*at reservaI tions are advised due to demands for seats at all productions of the company. ltx r _o Anderson — Replacement of 84,000 ties on the Union Traction lines of this vicinity will be made according to L.

“There is nothing I haven’t tried for constipation, but until I heard of Adleflika, nothing would help me. Now, 1 can eat and sleep and have got rid of the grouchy feeling I used to have.”—Jack Hyder. Because Adleriktl acts upon BOTH upper and lower liowel, it gives the system a RHAL cleansing, and clears out old poisons which usually cause sour, gassy stomach, neavousness. sleeplessness, headache. Just ONE spoonful stops GAS, and relieves that full, bloated feeling so that you can out better and sleep better. Even if bowels move daily, Adlerika brings out much additional poison which you never guessed was in your system and which may have long caused trouble. No matter what you have tried for stomach anti bowels, Adlerika will surprise you. Smith, Yager & Falk.
