Thompson for mayor of Chicago by about 83,000 and they lalk about the dark ages in Indiana. It cost 1.500 yen or übout $750 to have a telephone installed in Tokio, Japan, which would probably prevent most of us enjoying that luxury if the same rates'’ were charged in this country. Isn't It funny that we will protest in a loud tone if we have to pfiy a cent a gallon increase for gas to carry our car 150 miles and yet smilingly Hip a dollar in the pot for a ticket on an illegal lottery in which we have about a 10,000 to one chance to win? Judge lien Lindsey delivered an address at Fort Wayne the other eve- < ning, advocating his latest hobby, i ‘‘companionate marriages.” It is certainly shocking to those who believe ‘ in the old fashioned sacred marriage vows and it carried out generally < would wreck this nation and the < world. They ought to muzzle the ; judge. Three hundred and nine business concerns, of course th« largest and strongest in the United States spent the enormous sum of a hundred Tnil- : lion dollars for newspaper advertising last year. The total of national advertising was two and a half times < that. If you doubt that it pays, ask < tnem. They are wise enough to know and they can tell you by actual facts just what the percentage of returns has been to them.

Big Bill Thompson who stages sensational campaigns, caters to the underworld, believes in a wide-open town and manages his campaign with a bunch of lieutenants who are not afraid to use force, was yesterday elected mayor of Chicago by a large majority, defeating William Dever, democrat and Dr. Robertson, independent. There is no guess about Thompson's attitude on affairs in general for he served as mayor of that city from 1915 to 1923 and good or bad he is evidently a power to be reckoned with in his home town. A campaign to collect S9OO in Decatur for the benefit of the Boy Scouts of America is being made today and, we know of no better cause than that of assisting this greatest of all organizations for the youth of America. Headed by E. W. Lankenau as chairman and he- assisted by James L. Kocher, Cal E. Peterson. Herman H. Myers and Arthur Hyland as lieutenants, the drive is an assured success. Tlie scout movement has proven a big help in aiding the boys in gaining valuable knowledge in first aid, how to care for one's self, how ,o be helpful to others and in many other lines. Thomas A. Edison doesn't think the talking pictures will ever be success-

■ ful in this country. There ure prob J ‘ ably no “sour gripes" übout that: opinion, either. It appears that. Edison himself invented a device of | the sort übout 15 years ago, und I thought so little of it that he considered himself lucky to sell It for a few thousand dollars. “Americans prefer silent drama,” he says. They are uc-1 customed to the moving picture as it is, und they will never get ealliusiastic over any voices mingled in There will be a novelty to it for a little while, but the glitter will soon ; wear off and the movie fans w ill cry j ‘ for silence or a little orchestra . music.” Maybe he is right. To many, the silence of the present moving nte-; lure theater is one of the blessed | things in this jazzy world. But the;* is no telling. We shall find out soon, tor it is certain that there will lx-, good talking movies available before, long for those who want them. Tlie total income of gainfully employed Americans last year, according , to the National Bureau of Economu I Research, was $89,0*1.000,000. It is • worth while to .dwell on thos« figure-, a moment. They represent about four j times our national debt—we t-ould pay - that big debt off in a year if we had to. It is probably more than the total j wealth of any other nation in the I world except the British Empire. What does It jnean to us individually? It figures out for us all, men. women and children, $770 apiece for the year,, and brings the income of the average man above $2,000. In dollars, there has been an income growth of 40 per cent from 1921 to 1926. In the actual buying power of the income, these ' five years have brought an increase of 36 per cent. The economic con- ' dition of the average inhabitant of the United States lias been improving at i the rate of about 7 per cent a year No wonder the rest of the world envies us. The American people today are more prosperous and fortunate than any other nation, past or present, in the history of the world. And this well-being runs pretty ! thoroughly through the whole mass of society, it is a situation that should male Americans not proud, but. humble, lest they cease to deserve — —o ; ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦ TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY + ♦ + ♦ From the Daily Democrat File ♦ + Twenty Years Ago This Day. ♦ + + + ++ + + + + + + ♦♦♦*•♦ April 6—Maitiage lidense- s\lbert Henry Katterheiurich and Frances E.

The very FIRST week you take Vinol, you begin to feel stronger, eat and sleep better. Contains no oil —you'll like its pleasant taste. Smith, Yajjer and Falk, Druggists

Oust SIGNS OF GENTLENESS j I like a house that shows me these; Some houses are severe and prim, A cat, a dog. or singing bird. The lives within are old mid gray I In such a place I'm at my ease And though it may be just a whim. ! And certain of a cheery word, A bird house where the martins stay A Imiwl of gold fish on a stand Tells me as down the street 1 fare Betrays a gentle, friendly hand. That gentle folk are dwelling there. I'm always glad wlien'er I come For I have found that those who love Where there is love tor living things A dog. a cat. a bird and flowers A potted red geranium 1 Are usually thoughtful of Which mocks the winter's bluster- The larger need which muy be ours; ings Who for God s creatures small will is proof, iu spite of every care plan ' They still have time tor beauty there.
