It will be interesting to hear Mr. Coolidge explain why he favors a third term in his case but was opposed to it in 1908 when Mr. Roosevelt was meeting the same problem.

' Don't let that vacant lot grow up in weeds, don't let it spoil the appearance of your neighborhood. Repiember if you lived next to it, you wouldn't like it either. Indications are that this will be a great season for weeds and unless you start in to whip them now they will just about ruin things for you and everyone else around you. Yank them out now. Fort Wayne is now operating under daylight saving time, that is, those who so desire to do so are following the one hour advanced schedule. It is confusing and will continue to be,, so for some five months. Foggy, cloudy and wet weather over the week-end has discouraged many but there is no use to complain. There is absolutely no way to beat a spring like this except by working harder between showers. The picture show given by the civic section of the Red Cross netted over a hundred dollars and the contributions still coming in have pushed the total up to nt ar the three thousand mark, a half more than our quota. Not many communities in the middle west have done as well. Thats a real showing and we are proud of it. — 1 — —t A big rough, ugly looking bandit with a revolver in each hand walked into Art Miller's shoe store at Delphos, Saturday night and demanded the contents of the safe. Miller objected and was beaten over the head. About that time Leo Hummer ran to assist his friend Miller and was also bowled over, but the bandit fled, leaving one of his guns. It will take some of this resistance to break up the practise of hold ups, which has become so easy that it attracts others to get into the game. The few subscribers to the Daily Democrat who have not renewed during the campaign recently closed, will be "cut off" the list this week. We have no desire to impose upon any one by sending them the paper unless they desire it and we have given each the opportunity to so inform us. We will do our best to give you a newspaper worth considerably more than the penny a day it costs and we would like for every home in the county to receive it, but an unpaid subscription is not considered a real one by the A. B. C. which checks the. list of leading newspapers of the country. Chicago does not intend that Detroit or New York shall bluff them on the big building business. Detroit is to have an eighty story General Motors block and New York with her Equitable Life is doing some advertising. Now it is announced that Chicago will raise them a "stack of blues” by building a twin forty story building which will house an auditorium to seat 75,000, a 4,300-room hotel. « convention hall with 300,000

A couple of towns the size of Decatur could move into it uud be comfortable. As the time draws near for the election, the people of Indianapolis are in a quandary just what to do with the city manager form of government. As in most cases like this, the people who are the more insistent for a change are largely those who have never paid any attention to election day and now raise a rumpus because men unfit for managing things do not suit .them. The fellow who continual- | ly insists that polities is rotten and • never lends a hand to help conditions | is not so much of a good citizen as he thinks he is. There has never been a time in Indianapolis that the people did not get just what they deserve—and apparently want. Chang-, ing the manner of selecting officers ■ will not cure the canker. Men and . women who like the better things, must learn to want them on election ; day. and especially an primary day when the candidates are selected. — Bluffton Banner. The late Albert J. Beveridge was admittedly a man of good parts and | excellent points, but as a gatherer of money Babe Ruth and Jack Dempsey or any of half a dozen movie stars who might be chosen almost at random all had set the former Indiana senator in the back seat classes. The wiU of Mr. Beveridge has just been offered for probate and it is learned that it disposes of property scheduled as having $90,000 in value. It somehow seems that the deal isn't just square when a life time of such brilliant and useful public service and such meritorious achievement in literary pursuits should have brought so small a reward. It was true, however, of Mr. Beveridge and is of most men of his type and caliber that the doing of the great thing is the reward and not the money tlw completed work may bring. Not many Beveridges appear in the course of a generation. The Balte Ruths and the Dempseys, if they really be necessary, can be fashioned as needed. For all his great labor of almost thirty years Mr. Beveridge had been able to put by less than a fifth of what Dempsey got for his last fight and little mbre than Ruth is paid tor playing baseball half a year.—Fort Wayne JournabGazette. o ♦ TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY ♦ ♦ From the Dally Democrat File ♦ ♦ Twenty Yeare Ago This Day. ♦ ♦++++++♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ May 16 — Kurt Johnson lias leg crushed at the Van Camp foundry.

“THE GHOST TRAIN” IS THRILLING AND HILARIOUS Are detectives lucky or do they really use some intelligence and deductive (lowers in their work? The detective who in the central character of “The Ghost Train, comedy drama offering of the Wright Flavors al the Majestic theater, Fort Wayne, this week, seems to be mainly lucky. He wanders through two ads seeking a place to unravel the mystery of the play, only to fall into the solution In the last act. Not that the character Is not a good one. William Courneen, new leading man of the company, makes it wellnight a masterpiece and gets the full quota of laughs which it was designed to bring out. "The Ghost Train" is a new sort of crook comedy drama. A gang of rum runners and smugglers find that a New England village has a legend about a ghostly train which sweeps down at midnight, leaving deatli and destruction behind. Using the legend and playing upon the superstition of the natives, the gang uses the village as its base of operations. The entire company is well cast for litis play which was first produc'd in London and was adapted by A. 11 Woods for a leug and successful NewYork run. The usual Wednesday and Saturday bat gain matinees will be offered and the attraction will continue through Saturday night. The Wright Players’ season at the Majestic has been extended to continued patronage. Early sent reservations are necessary for all performances due to large audiences.

The ever-increasing demand of the people of the Middle West for Standard Oil Company (Indiana product.—which has made necessarv its steady growth—has sliown their appreciation of thev principles.

They know that they will meet fairness and honesty in any dealings they may have with the Company. The very name of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has stood for faithful service and fidelity to right principles for »o many year, that when the Company introduces a new product to the public, thousands of people are instantly ready to try it, confident that it will maintain the reputation of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana . Such a reputation for integrity is built up in only one way. whether the smallest store in the smallest village, or a large organization like the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) serving ten states is concerned —by the simple system of fair dealing, honesty of purpose, sincerity in word and deed. • In the smallest store in the smallest village one man practices these principles, whereas in the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) shareholders, directors, employes practice them unfailingly generation after generation. Men come and go. but the name of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) and the principles for which it stands endure. Standard Oil Company (Indiana) General Office: Standard Oil Building 910 So.
