BLAME IT ON THE WAR: — If you need an alibi lor failure, or . any sort of adverse conditions, lay it on the war. The war, if it served uo ether useful purpose, has established U universal alibi. The war is to blame for thousands of financial failures. It is responsible for high costs and low markets and has all but wrecked farm prosperity. It is responsible for the crime wave.' lax morality, juvenile delinquency and prohibition. I It has multiplied our enemies and made us the “Happy Hooligan’’ among nations —the well-intentioned bungler, who, in trying to be helpful, gets the worst end of it. • It has put us in the position of the loser in a poker game who finds it just as dangerous to quit as it is to go ahead. Having spread our money with a lavish hand we must go on spreading in faint hope of a final settlement. It popularized propaganda ami estab- ’ lished the propagandist as a national pest, thus permitting blocs and organized minorities to demand the most, good for the least number. It made cigarettes, wrist watches and short skirts respectable. And, if you can think of anything else that isn’t just right, you can put the blame on the war. —Wabash Plain Dealer. In the final rush of the legislature a pile of bills were passed and it is probable khat just what was predicted would happen, did materialize. A wook a?o '‘tily twenty biJis had pass-p rd bill the fi-iai check up shows a < total of three hundred, sure proof 1 that a number of bills were slipped ( through without much consideration. The record of the legislature is bad, according to reports of Bob Tucker and otiier newspaper correspondents, increasing taxes, providing new courts, adding commissions and otherwise increasing the burdens of the average tax payers. Several good acts were passed however and not until a resume of the work is made can an honest estimate be placed upon the record. ■■■■■■■■■MeanMMHaan The registration law and the absent voters law have been repealed and in next year's election will not be used. Whether this is a good thing or net is doubtful. The Jaws were made to safe guard corruption of election laws and where honestly used were effective and convenient. Os course the laws were abused as is every election law but it is doubtful if the repeal is an advantage. Iti seems it. would have been better to have made some improvements and continued the laws. With only fifty per cent, of the eligible voters using the rights of suffrage, its a difficult tiling to decide just what is best. You iqay have seen better times. You have if you have been in business long. but at that times are largely what you make them and its up to your own efforts to put it across this year or go down with the fellow who sits and watches. If you will advertise a little harder, make an effort to get, the goods the people- want, plan to meet the times you will get along about, as well as usual. More than a hundred million people have to live in this country and they are looking

for an opportunity to buy the goods ' they need or want. -ILL-!"- 1 .U ' " " It doesn't seem possible that a judge who has been accused us has Judge Dearth of Muncie could rally t«> his support the governor and state officers and such an array of backers but a number of things have happened during the past few years that didn't seem possible, so we have just quit guessing on it. It will require all of the atetutioii of the highway squad and all of the support of all the citizens of the county to save the roads. Just now they are very soft and it doesn't take a very heavy load to break, through them. Won't you help save them and incidentally thousands of dollars worth of repairs? Louis Mazer, indicted for the murder of Don R. Mellott of Canton, Ohio, has made a complete confession, implicating several other men and clearing up the mystery. The officials who worked on this case certainly deserve praise for their splendid work which shows that such affairs can be cleared up if the government heads want them to be. A regular Santa Claus train passed through Decatur yesterday. It cari ried ten cars of candy. 400,000 pounds or two million bars which if placed . end to end would reach 125 miles. Wouldn't the boys and girls have had a fine time if it had been arranged that way and they had been told to go to it? , Renew your subscription to the Daily Democrat and thus guarantee yourself the news of the county, sate and nation for the year.

“The Student Prince” Returns To Fort Wayne Saturday March 12, ut the Shrine Auditorium. Fort Wayne, “The Student Prince" will return for a matinee at 2:30 and ( veiling performance at 8:00 o'clock. Never In the history of the theatre has a musical offering Iwen so highly praised by public mid critic alike, and so great Ims been its appeal, the Messrs. Shubert, who are presenting the operetta, were forced to send ont nine companies to meet the extraordinary demand lo see its beauties and listen tc the charm and grace of its score. It ran fro seventeen months in New York: ran for over thirteen mouths In Chicago and in the other lurge cities of the United States established new .coords for longht of engagemeent. The company coming tir Fort Wayne just completed an engagement in Detroit and is said to be the finest .Jug Ing aggregation of ail "The Student j Prince'' companies, it is a larger company than seen in Fort Wayne last season. There is a mighty male chorus of sixty trained voices included in the personnel of one hundred. “The Student Prince" was adapted fiom Old Heidelberg, a play Richard Mansfield used for years as a starring vehicle. It recites the story of a Prince who went to Heidelberg to finish ins education only to fall in love with a waitress at an inn. For this barmaid the Prince was willing to denounce a throne, but the fine duplicity of court intrigue tore him away from hit. love ami happiness. Throughout the operetta there is a note of tenderness that brings tears to the auditors eyes, it . - o Greenwood —William Carlisle of this city is serving a 14 day term in jail bocruse he allowed a horse lo stand in the cold all night.

I “Beau Gestc” To Be Shown At Fort Wayne "Beau Geste” the startling Herbert Brenon production based on Major Percival Christopher Wren's absorbing story of the French Foreign Legion, begins a weeks engagement at the Si’hrine auditorium at Fort Wayne on Sunday, matinee March 13 with daily matinees. Incredible as it may seem who have read the book or seen the pkture, the episode in wiiioE dead men guard the embrasures of a desert fort is t’aken from an actula happening in the annuals of the Foreign Legion. Major Wren, in the preface of "Beau Subreur", his new story of the Legion states "I know only it is true", and in this he is borne out by Edward La Ko< lie of N< w York, a veteran of the Foieign Legion. Dead men stand lo arms! The fallen arc spirited away; A French bayonet through the vitals of the commandant! Was he murdered by one of his own men? These hapenings, strange and terrible axe but a part of the story of three brothers, whose love for each other proved stronger than their fear of death. The picture opens in this manner and after the troops coming to the assistance of the beseiged fort find

Who killed the commandant? Who fired the fort—and wyh? A thread of this mystery runs entirely through the play which flashes back to fifteen years before the opening scene and reconstructs the mystery back again to that secene. Herberet Brenon so cleverely has weaved the mystery throughout the story, it is a sale venture to say not one of the audience has guessed the solution before it is revealed at the end. “ u— Eucharistic Congress Film is a Great Drama of Realty.
