Middle age, alas, sometimes becomes the “meddle age" during which period it seems we just have to tell the other fellow how to run his business or his family. Some folks just want every thing. We have been told of a woman who has a platinum wrist watch set with diamonds and who complains because it won’t keep time. An anxious public is still waiting for real evidence of the “little black box" and hoping that as the monkey said when he stuck his tail in the lawn mower, “it won't be long now.” Governor Juckson says the check for $2,500 from D. C. Stephenson was a straight business deal whereby he sold the klan leader a saddle horse for that sum. Some horse. Must have been a regular Kentucky "darb.” We produce four million new automobiles each year in this country and we scrap two million. Consequently the financiers figure that the point of saturation cannpt possible come before 1936 by which time the problem will take care of itself somehow. The governor says he will not be blackmailed into granting Stephenson a pardon. Thats the proper sentiment. Wonder bow Steve will take it. There are perhaps a number of tilings he can say if they permit him which will keep the governor and others who wer> formerly closely count ■ ted with him in his hey day, explaining for months to come. Some wag who draws a ten-thous-and-dollar salary as congressman declares he will offer a resolution in the coming session declaring that if President Coolidge accepts a third nomination and the people are foolish enough to elect him, the name of the capitol city be changed to Coolidgeville, since that would be greater honor than was given Washington for whom it was named. Adams county will produce one of the largest hay crops in history this year, but indications are that with the preference being shown eastern railways by the public se-vice commission the price for hay from this section will be extremely low. Making the eas* prosperous at tile expense of the rest of the country has been a favorite indoor sport of government officials for some years and ought to be stopped. Everett Sanders, secretary to the president, it is reported, will resign shortly and within a few weeks will again hang out his shingle as a lawyer in Terra Hut. Some think he has decided tp quit politics and earn an honest dollar while others look wise and say that Everett intends to show Senator Robinson a few things about how to run tor the senate next year. The latter guess probably should have the better betting odds. Three boys drowned the other day in the Hudson river while six armed guards wish drawn rifles held back several convicts who begged to be permitted to save them. The accident occurred near Sing Sing prison and' the guards were of course acting strictly under orders. Looks as though a near he-man would have violated orders and either made an effort to save the boy's or permitted ■

'• the convicts to do it even if resignaio tlon would have been necessary. Red '» tape is a tine thing in some places but it) 5 some times there ought to be a liberal 0 use of old-fashioned “horse sense" U -used with it. Some one describing Thomas A. Edison the other day, deglared l im “the greatest American, saye one.” The nice thing about that is that so mtiny people can think the writer • meant him or her. • It you had to s name the one American greater than • Edison, whom would you select? That • ought to start a right decent argui ment in the average well regulated American home. It isn’t the size of a city which makes it a good or a bad place in I which to live. I.s the spirit of the place. Your community should be friendly, interesting, progressive and well organized. There should be employment for every one and there should be amusement and entertainment and churches and schools and a population of people big enough to lice and let live, with home loyalty and civic vision who desire to leave ids a better place than they found it. Decatur is striving to that end and there are many indications that we are about to arrive. Be a booster. A well-meaning politician suggests a law admitting children to all baseball parks for 25 cents a child. A better law would supply city baseball parks to which children could play baseball. That is what they need, not the right to sit on a bench, paying 25 qfids to watch somebody else play, it young and old men of the generation played more and watched Irssit would be bettef for them. —By Arthur Brisbane. Thats what Decatur proposes to do with her new municipal athletic field. o- #¥¥¥¥¥¥•¥¥¥¥¥:;: * BIG FEATURES * * OF RADIO * SATURDAY’S FIVE BEST RADIO FEATURES WEAK — Ht'iiup 7:od pie Goldman Band.
