30u Fifth Avenue Mee Vor| When you drive up to a street intersection and see a stop sign, thats what it means and it means you as well as the rest of the folks. If you don't obey the police order you will be arrested. It you are you can certainly blame no one but yourself. Everybody will get a thrill out of the basketball tourney this evening and tomorrow. Teams and their rooters from every section of the county will be here and it should be a good time. Os course you can't all win boys, but you can all play the game well and play it fair and have a good

time. Lucky Mr .Coolidge. They are going to clean the White House aud all he has to do is to walk over to another handsome residence and live there until the big house is all fixed up, when he will move back. He won't have to carry the base burner out, dust rugs or do any of the things that make so many of us dread housecleaning season. Indiana refuses to be outdone, even in the prize fight game. A law is about to pass the legislature providing for twelve round matches instead of ten rounds provided by law in a number of tbe states. You see that will make it possible for us to land several of the big fights and we may outdo Reno, New York City and the late Sesqui-centennial. It begins to look as though several M governor f will assist Judge Dearth to continue in office even though impeached by

a vote of 93 to 1 in the legislature. Surely we have come to a place where the people of Indiana will have some- ( thing to say and will say it. Public , opinion properly expressed is the only < way to clean up the state and those 1 cities which need it. We want to serve you with the news of the county, state and nation the coming year and we are willing to contract with you to do so to the best of our ability for the sum of three dollars if you get the paper by mall within the first and second zones. Won't you renew this month. It will be greatly appreciated by us for the campaign is closing and we are hoping the renewals will be one hundred per cent. The house of representatives at Indianapolis approved the bill appropriating a considerable sum of money

for the celebration in memory of George Rogers Clark at Vincennes. That was alright. The people of Indiana think the 150lh anniversary of Clark’s victory should be celebrated but they are not interested in a lot of fellows being given jobs out of this fund. When the biU got to the senate they explained the governor wanted some changes aud so they amended the bill to provide for the appointment of six more members of

th<’ commission. Evidently all of the Jacksons have not yet been placed on the pay roll. Eight years ago Oregon passed a State gasoline tax. The idea rapidly spread and now only four remain without it. The first year it yielded $661,000; and last year it brought $102,000,000 to state treasuries. In the March Review of Reviews it is queried: Will the states follow suit

on cigarettes? Last year Uncle Sam’s tax on cigarettes, 6 cents for a package of 20, yielded the treasury $268,411.648. In 1914 we smoked 17 billion cigarettes —in 1926, 80 billion. No wonder the states are starting to look hungrily at this vast source of I taxation willingly paid. But it must be remembered that a cigarette tax will be harder to collect than the one on gasoline, because cigarettes can be ordered and shipped from a neighboring state. The Grahams seem to be in the . political saddle in Adams county and t riding rough shod, ala Roosevelt t style, over everybody who gets in t their road. Old timers of the repub- ’ Hcan party who have in the past “ shown prowess as battlers for every r point sit by and watch them do it i without evidently raising a hand.

A signal honor and one worth while has come to Miss Florence Kuhns, an employe of the General Electric Works in this city and we join with the entire population of Adams county in extending to her sincerest congratulations. She has been awardee recognition under the Charles A. zCoffin Foundation, receiving a certificate from the home office at Schen ectady, New York, and four shares oi General Electric common stock. She is thi only woman so honored this year and the second since the Foundation started in 1922. The award comes to her because she developed a method which saves time and laboi and this, although she had been in the plant less than two years and had been transferred to a new department to help out. , Among the thousand. seyen people were thus honored this year and Miss Kuhns has a right c

By Walter A. Shead (Written for the Dahy Democrat) Indianapolis, Ind. March. 4 — Disregaidlng and uvuuiduig the opinion of Attorney Genera! Arthur L. Gilliom, that they did not have the authority, the Indiana House of Representatives Wednesday voted 93 to 1 to impeach' Judge Clarence W. Dearth of the Delaware circuit court for alleged misde-l meanor in office, amounting to cor-. luption and other high crimes. Immediately following the impeach

hat order, he cast his vote aaginst mpeachment. Representative Mendenhall attended a meeting of the Klan nembers cf the legislature, called by V. Lee Smith, giand dragon at the -oln hotel in the early part of the session. me impeachment proceedings wilt ocessitate an extra or special ses-’ion e provided for the five new court.-: f the Indiana State Senate. The upper house, will adjourn “sine die,, at he end of the sixty-one day session text Monday night at midnight and fter naming a day tc~ trial of the ■..’hci< jurist will meet on that date id remain in session until the chargs arc disposed of. Judge Dearth miler the act of 1897 under which he s to be prosecuted will hare the privelege of filing in writing, objections o tho sufficiency of the cause of im•eaehmi nt or he may file these objections orally. The senate at’ its Wednesday ses;ion, adopted the biennial budget meai'tre under a suspension of the rules after adding approxinmtelv $350,009 .it form now totals $49,135,773.45 ?he figures of the state beard of acmints shew approximately sloo,Oun .ess than this amount, but the state •card is apparently not taking into cnsideration the SIOO,OOO which must created by the legislature.

Smith measure which provided for abolishment of party politics The house also defeated the Senate measure, backed by Geoige V. Cofflu, Marion county Republican boss and tho Republican state committee, which would have turned the county election machlneery over to the various county ehariman by providing the chairman name the inspectors and judges instead of the county commissioners. The measure would have given the Republican organization control ot

approximately 900 more precincts throughout the state, than they now control. The bill was defeated by a “vive voce” voted. One of the most important measures which has thus far passed both houses of the legislature is the measur which ousted slo-a-share building and loan companies and placed all building and loan companies on a SIOO share basis with a fee fifty cents. The measure is designed to kill numerous fiaudulent promotion schemes which are operating over the state in the guise of bona-fide building and loan associations. The senate advanced the measure which would rejical the registrati'i. law passed in 1911 to second reading The measure already has passed the House. The Republican state commit-

tee is back of the measure, but Senator James J. Nejdl (Rep Lake) Republican floor leader opposed the measure that the repeal was unconstitutional unless the legislature provided a means of registration in Its place. Senator Joseph C. Cravens (Olno, Claik, Jefferson and Switzerland,) Democrat, sided with Nejdl. There is a provision in the constitution which j provides that the legislature shall provide a method for the registration of veters. According to some members of the senate, the attorney general has been asked for an opinion, but it was asserted that he was not clear on the subject. The state did not have a ( registration law prior to 1911, but the

is? **'—«'■. ik bOi Selected Pink and Red The very best

contention is that sirtce the law was once passed, it would bo unconstitutional to repeal it unless some method Jof registration was provided In its place.
