Scheerer, Inc., 35 East Welker Drive, Chicago 200 Fifth Avenue, New York, Attorney-General Gilliom has come out for President Coolidge. Wonder If thats constitutional? It recently cost the government *lO,000 to print the speech of a congressman and if they want us to read it they will have to appropriate that much more to pay us for the job. Leading Texas democrats have come out for Al Smith for president and his stock advanced considerably the past few days. It is said he now has three hundred votes assured but its still a little early to venture a guess. Packing a jury with members from a certain Sunday school class doesn't lessen the danger. Even a person who violates the Volstead act if there be any such criminal in America is entitled to a fair and impartial trial I by his fellow citizens. Courts must i be honest if we are to have justice. One surprise in the evidence in the , Sapiro-Ford case is the testimony j that Henry doesn't even write his own page in the Dearborn Independent and usually doesn't even know what is to appear there. Os course that makes a difference for a lot people were being sold on his sincerity as an editor. If a man uses liquor, then gets his i wife in his ear and drives in such a ' reckless fashion that the car overturns and the wife is killed, is the man guilty of manslaughter? Looks like such a question will be tested in Allen county where Fred Heine is held for the death of his wife early Sunday morning. | Time to clean up and paint .up. its a great part of the year, one of the finest habits we have in America. You know how good you feel after you bathe your face in the morning and how much pep and go it gives you. Well, thats what this spring clean up is for a community and it makes us ail feel just as good as the morning bath. Don't pass it up, lets make this years clean-up brighter than ever. Attorney-General Gilliom, who by the way seems to be long on passing in advance on the constitutionality of proposed acts by the legislature, has ruled that the state auditor cannot pay the members of the senate now in session on the Judge Dearth impeachment which'is one sure sign that the case will be conducted as briefly as possible. That will help some. Looks as though they should have heard the evidence and given their verdict in a couple of days. Betting in Indianapolis by those who know just how things are operated in the state house, favors two to one the acquittal of Judge Dearth and the same odds are offered that there will be no special session of the legislature. Os course there won't. Mr. Gilliom will hold that only the governor can call such a session and its a hundred to one and no takers that Ed Jackson is not going to give his sanction to any thing which resembles an investigation. Say something good about Indiana if you dan. “Say something good about Indiana" was the slogan adopted by the Indiana Republican Editorial association a few weeks ago and everybody agreed that was a good rule and that

it was high time to begin it and then, p conics the legislature with its record of salary grubs, its lack of remedial! legislation, its quarrel between the legislative, executive and judicial branches, the Dearth impeachment. ’ the missing amendments to the approI priution bill, refusal to permit investigation of charges against the state's l highest executives. Please tell us. wise editors, of the republican faith I just how we can say something good 1 about Indiana if you mean Its present I government. We are rushing soldiers to China and we have fired some shots over there and we are doing a number of things that seem surprising to those who supposed that the administration now in power at Washington would not be induced to do any thing over seas but “make faces." If we have to send our boys over seas to light we would just a little rather seud them most any where else than to China. Whats it all about any way? Must we do this jusf to protect Standard Oil Hill? If that company is being injured in a business way perhaps it would be cheaper just to have the congress reimburse them. Any way its all beginning to look very serious. Decatur has two splendid bauds now, the General Electric and the Juniors from high school. They are planning to give concerts this year, just how or when or where, we believe not yet determined. We hope that when the programs are worked out that the business men of Decatur will decide upon those nights to keep , their stores open until 8:30 or 9:00 o'clock. If that plan is made and announced and kept before the people, you will be surprised at what wonderful trading nights they can be made and how much they will help this community If farmers know that on certain nights of the week they can come here and trade, secure good bargains and hear a first-class concert, of course they will come. A little harmony of effort will help business a great deal here this year and place the community ahead of those where there is discord. ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦ TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY ♦ ♦ From the Daily Democrat File ♦ ♦ Twenty Years Ago This Day. * +++++++♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ March 28 —Charles “Chick" Stahl, former Decatur ball player and nowcaptain of the Boston Americans, commits suicide at West Baden.

PAIS RANSOM Kidnapped Baby Returned To Father Who Pays $3,333 Chattanooga, Tenn., March 28. — (United Press)— Josephine Fraizer, 2. was safe in her mothers arms today, apparently none the worse for having spent four days in the hands of kidnappers.

Frazier paid the Money Saturday and at It) o'clock last night, the girl naked but uninjured was left on the doorstep of the rectory of the First Presbyterian church. The pastor called police. who turned Virginia over to her parents. In response to instructions received in a letter, Frazier paid the odd sum demanded, in currency, to "A negro with a Broomstick” whom he met at I an appointed corner in Chattanooga. — o- — Better Test Your Grape Juice, Warns Prohibition Agent Indianapolis, Ind., March 28, —(United Press) —Warning was sounded today to householders who have grape juice containing more than one-half of one per cent alcohol, by George L.

Clubs and restaurants will be liable to padlock proceeding It patrons are allowed to bring liquor and drink it there,-even if the establishment docs not sell it, Winkler stated. "The law provides that any place in which liquor Is sold, bartered, exchanged. given away or otherwise disposed of, is a nuisance,” Winkler declared.
