The Daily Democrat comes to you each day. It represents a lot of labor and expense. It requires your ; upport. We hope you renew soon for the annual campaigu is drawing to a close. The state senate killed the bill for the pension of blind persons, the vote' being twenty (<> twenty-five. It gave many aspiring candidates a chance to make speeches'but the motion for indefinite postponement carried aud the bill is dead for another two years. It had previously passed the house. Oliver Potter has been renominated for postmaster at Geneva, a victory for the citizens of that town who rose up in righteous wrath when L. A. Graham, republican county chairman, some months ago recommended a man for the place who lived outside the immediate vicinity of the office. The boxing bill has passed the house by a decided majority and now goes to the senate with hopes of success in the final rush. Thats going to make it fine for those who like this game of manly art which means paying twenty-five or fifty dollars to see a couple of prize fighters pound each other around a ring for a half hour. Get your red vest ready and be a Hoosier sport. Charles Maurice or some one who writes under that name for the Fort Wayne News-Sentinel states that there are now fourteen candidates for the republican nomination for governor in Indiana, including such notables JJ a‘s Waiter LiosSeTt, Lew Sirauks. ' Alonzo Lindley and Harry S. New. Just why or how he mixes the postmaster general up with that bunch is a mystery. Samuel Instill withdraws from the role of ‘'super-angel” and says he will never give another cent for a campaign, which is tough for our republican brethren, but doesn't mean co very “durn” much to the democrats who were not in on the contributions very strong any way. Perhaps thats just what Senator Reed wants him and a lot of other generous souls to declare and stick to. That was the purpose of the investigation. Rah for Hoover. He has promised to take the howls, shreiks and other terrible noises out of the air. He admits it will take six or eight months to accomplish it but even al that he will be able to get in his work before the next campaign ami if lie succeeds will cause many a radio fan to yell for him for any thing he wants. His prediction that the noise extraction is possible was made in discussing tile radio legislation just enacted in congress. We hope its not just the promise of a politician. The absent voters law in Indiana is dead aud a thing of the past. Ftom now on, until some other arrangements are made, the only way you can vote is by appearing at the voting booth in your precinct, if you can't get there, you’re just out of luck. Governor Jackson signed the bill yesterday. If it will prevent some ten thousand illegal Voters in Lake and Vamherburgh counties from being counted, we are willing to do without Hie convenience tire law provided in comities like this where it had never been abused. Doheuey, the oil king, gut a real

'blow yesterday when the supreme r court of the United States held that hla deal with Albert B. Fall was tainted with fraud and corruption. Just a month ago a jury of Washington r. clerks had white washed him but the r - justices decided that they had either been fooled or were trying to fool r, some one else. Any way they decided that Doheuey was out ten million dollars invested aud the hundred mil- “ lion he hud planned to make as a re-, j .suit of bis intrigue. It seems queer 5 that he is so corrupt in civil court j but not guilty in criminal proceedure. ; 1 The republican press and an occasional partisan is busy trying to convince the public that there never was any reason for the McNary-Haughen bill, that it was a silly and foolish thing to try aud would have "just ruined the country.” Wait until you

. hear from those who have spent . mouths, yes years, in air effort to • secure some federal regulations which would lighten the load of the farmer, something which would equalize the prices of the farmer with those he must pay for what he buys, something that would stabiize the value of farm ladns —wait until you hear from those men who are for your interests and then make up your mind as to whether these eastern business men and bankers were trying to save you or not. I3y a unanimous vote the house ■of representatives yesterday adopted a resolution asking the governor to "tire” all the present members of the public service commission and appoint new ones. New brooms sweep clean, it is said by experts who have tried them and it is probable that this would prove a remedy for a while at least. The resolutions carried four reasons for the demand — that this action is desired by a majority of the citizens of Indiana; that operations of the commission at present are favorable to the utilities; that a strong lobby has prevented remedial legislation and that the action of the present members have been to the injury and detriment of consumers. We don't know how this will result but it does seem that the average fellow who happens to be a member of the commission will feel either like resigning or licking some one. o ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦ TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY ♦ ♦ *| ♦ From the Dally Democrat File ♦ ♦ Twenty Yea r ' This Day. w ♦ + + ♦**♦< »♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ March I.—Prof G.

Mar. 1. —(United Press.) -—Foul weather gives no worry to welldressed sportswomen since waterproof sports fabrics are placed on the marked. Raincoats of rubberized silk proved such a boon to women who were forced to be out in all sorts of weather that manufacturers seized the opportunity of utilizing waterproofled silks for suits, hats and sports frocks. Crepe de chciie and crepella are both made waterproof these days and lovely jutnjjer frocks and two-piece suits are fashioned of these materials. Tltese are a delight to the woman golfer since she need have no fear of her costume becoming spotted or shrinking after a rainstorm. Not alone are waterproof silks used for sports wear but many very handsome afternoon coats for spring days are being made up in these fabrics. For instance, an ensemble suit consisting of a bright Oriental bine silk frock and a black satin coat with the reveres of blue in harmony witli Hie frock has its coat waterproofed so that no rain can harm it. Waterproof plaid alpaca coats recently imported from Paris are approved of for spring. Rubberized crepe de chene with small or large patterned figures in contrasting colors are included among the sports coats. Short jackets of rubberized silk are shown by one smart New York shop. These are to be worn over the onepiece sports dress, which, by the way, seems to be a bit smarter for the coming season than the jumper dress. Ihe present vogue for short jackets for sports wear seems to lie ousting twopiece dresses off lite fashion map. Short jackets can lie purchased separately and can be worn with various colored frocks. Two-piece jumper dresses, however, have hud such general approval that they will undoubtedly continue to be popular for some time despite Hie vogue for one-piece frocks ami separate jackets. Marcasite monograms are designed Io be worn on the breast pockets or lapels of sports suits. Amber and jade green arc the favored colors for these mouogra miuweltics. 'Hie tailored suit uses similar monograms on lapel or breast pocket, —o —— I NOTICE This being the first of Hie month I I would appreciate a settlement from .those knowing themselves indebted Jto me.

Clue To A Secret Torture Chamber Is Found In Russian Prison By Victor W. Knuutli, (U. I*. Staff Correspondent) Moscow.— (United Press.)— Revelations of Hie methods of the Czar's | frightful secret police, with the pros- | pact of discovering a complete torture I chamber with instruments of cruelly Similar to those of Hie Spanish Inquisition, tucked secretly away somewhere in the thick wall of the Sc’llusselberg prison near Leningrad, have just reached the Soviet department of science. This department since- the revolution of 1917 has administered tlie notorious prison to which the Czars committed political prisoners. It is now a museum. A letter has been formal, written in 1896 by the commandant of the Schlusselberg prison, an officer of the Czar's forces named liochalovitch, addressed to the Czar’s minister for war. In this letter, the prison director reported that a hidden entrance to the wail had been accidently discovered by workmen repairing the masonry. I The secret gate opened into a gallery, | according to the letter, which led past j a lake and ended in a dust-filled room ! in which implements of torture were I discovered. Apparently the hidden door was again completely sealed ttp. At any rate, no further documentary evidence relating to it has been found. Only Bochalovitch s wiitten report gives a clue and if he had been as discreet as most of the Czar's other police agents, the existence of a gallery within the walls and of the torture chamber would never have- been suspected. With the letter as a clue, however, tlie department of science has pursued careful inquiry among many of the. presold _.!>.•>.L is o' Itiis-ia .-.■>>»•- of whom were themselves at one time imprisemed tn Schlusselburg on account of their revolutionary activities. Some idea of the existence of a chamber of horrors bad come to the prisoners who lived within its shadow. The inquiry was publicly admitted recently. The investigators believe that they have gathered all available clues and hints regarding the hideous hidden toroure chamber and have separated the likely facts from the draff. The department authorities have notified the Leningrad officials that they propose to break down the great wall of the prison at a spot where they think the secret floor will be found. The dramatic exploration will probably be undertaken in the spring.
