Graduates should remember that they have youth which is life's greatest gift with its season of few regrets and no "might-have-beens.” Summer is poking her head around the corner and will no doubt soon have courage to hop right out on us. Os course we are going to have it again and of course we are going to get a crop. It may not be the largest on record but we feel sure the prices will make up for any shortage. Jay, Huntington, Kosiusko and Miami counties suffered big losses from wind storm Saturday and almost every county in this section has had considerable loss during the past few weeks. After all — knock on wood—Adams county seems to be a favored place in which to live. We are proud of the boulevard lights now installed on Winchester street and we invite you all up to look us over. When the street has been resurfaced as it will be in a few weeks we are sure the street will be one of the attractive ones of the city. The county commissioners and the county council are to be* complimentbtf for so speedily arranging to repair the Monroe street bridge. The sum of S7OO has been appropriated and this it is believed will repair the foundation and the railings, preventing the structure from going to decay and helping wonderfully the appearance. Messrs. Chamberlin and Levine were tired and hungry and sleepy when the y reached Germany and the first thing they did was to take a good nap in which they didn't have the best of their anxious wives who were left behind and who hadn't closed an , eye since they saw them hop off for - the lonesome ride. Chamberlin and Levine flew 3,905 miles in their monoplane over the week-end, rather a nice little jaunt and a new world record for distance. They “monkeyed” around a good while getting started but when they once got going they sure showed the folks they were not bluffers or bluffing. ■ >*'•' Its a lot more pleasant to have ■p France and England and Germany paying their respects to subjects of the United States than it was a short time ago to have them showing a much different feeling. Right now would be a very good time to forget everything, let “the dead past bury her dead” and live in peace forever after. This is commencement week for the St. Joseph schools and the class of graduates will receive their diplomas tonight, the boys and girls entering on the pathway of life. There is nothing new to say to these splendid young men and women but there is the old truth — that the world lies ahead and there was never a better opportunity for those willing to work, ti serve, to progress and to remember that every morning is a commenceiment. csHgratuiat'* these graduates and we predict for them many successes and much happiness. A “don't allow the children to play on the street" campaign has been inaugurated by the Hoosier State Automobile Association as a part of safety

I week. A message was given through s the schools the closing week to every child and in many of them a vacation pledge was taken as follows: “Your teacher wishes every child in this room a safe and happy vacation. Those who will promise not to play 1 in the streets will write their names on the blackboard" and thousands of thorn did so. It Is now up *o the parents to cooperate in this important I work. " . ".'ft It seems as though any thing presented in the name of religion, or with a supposedly religious sanction, can "get by" with some people. The latest, instance of human folly is the House of David, with its ridiculous—if not worse —King Beu. Yet many people believed all they were told, hastened to join the community, put themselves under the absolute control of the 1 “king”, and submitted to the grossest , indignities as methods of “purifica- i tion.” The astonishing thing is, not I that such movements should be start- ' ed. but that there should be enough 1 i fools to fall in with them to make ] them ixotitable to their promoters. It has of course always been so. Per- t haps it always will be so. But it may 1 be hoped that with the spread of 1 education, and the raising of the level of intelligence, dupes will, as the } years go by, be fewer. There was of ( course nothing religious about the s King Ben organization—any one can 1 see that now, unless there be some ’ poor people who still are unconvinced. f But what can so easily be seen now f ought to have been seen from the out- t set, for it was obvious. Religion is a | cover for much that is silly and wrong —and even criminal —as it has always been. It is important that it should r not be so used, and most important , that religious people should set their v faces against fraud and superstition I claiming allegiance as a sort of revel- 1 ation. King Ben may, after all, serve a useful object as an eye-opener. That f will be the hope of all who believe in | true religion and in progress, and are 1 striving to promote these. To such • there is something appalling in the occasional breaking through into mod- . *tn superstitions that had been , supposed to be long since dead. —Indianapolis News. ♦ TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY ♦ ♦ From the Dally Democrat File ♦ ♦ Twenty Yeara Ago Thl* Day. ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦A June 7 —One hundred twenty seven will receive diplomas at the county commencement to be held June 22.

Ed Jackson violated the law of Indiana by giving liquor to his wife In her recent illness to saver" her life. And also that Attorney General Gilliom did the kame illegal act to save the life of his two sons. Certainly that was a brave act for these two leading officials of the great state of Indiana. Very commendable indeed. Nothing should stand in the way of saving life. We only hope the law which these two gentlemen of Indiana swore to enforce will not be too severe with them. Os course anything is pardonable. when resorted to in saving life. But what is a little surprising to the; common mind, is the fact that these two high officials of Indiana swore to enforce the law of the State, should each have a personal friend who would or could furnish the aforesaid life-saver from their private stock for it is not to be supposed for a minute that these so seriously sick peofifle would be given common bootleg stuff. How fortunate "'these officials knew where to go in their extremity. So far we have not noticed any comment or statement from any physician in either of these two critical cases. We are sure the . public would like to hear from Mrs. Jackson's physician. Whiskey may be very good to save life in critical cases. If so, the common people ought to know, for the 1 most of us have seen so many cases where its use destroyed life that this life saving phase comes as a surprise. But of one thing we feel perfectly sure. That is. that this broadcasting of these two cases of "life saving” ’ had a wonderful effect on the life by the use of illegal whiskey has and nerve of that great organization known as the "National Constitutional Liberty League of America." shown

Quotations from Gilliom's speeches: "Abuses and slurs of reformers," "Threats to imprison ministers,” citations of “one minister before the supreme court," "Ulurs about Volsteadism or Indiana a target for ridicule" on account of ( her dry laws and Gilliom cited as authority for the most of it. After being "fed up” on this for more than a year then to be told “Gilliom is in favor of the 18th "Think the Colstead act should be stronger” is enough to surprise a "stoic.” Surely Mr. Gollioin is the Champion Acrobat, but he shouldn't worry about the 18th Amenment, he should look after the 19th.
