SADDLES AND BRIDLES: — Macaulay says in his history of England, that when Richard Ruinbold mounted the scaffold In 1685 he did not die without protest. Said Rumbold: "I never could believe that Providence had sent a tew men Into the world, ready booted and spurred to ride and millions ready saddled and bridled to be ridden.” Which brings us to some contemplation of saddles and bridles. Senator was to be saddled, bridled and ridden by one who sought to control the political destinies of millions, not only in Indiana but elsewhere. Any man who says. "I am the law” is likely to entertain a dream of empire. For Senator he was supposed to have paid $2,500, but that, after all, did not go for the horse alone. The purchase price Included valuable equipment. Those who knew Senator best say he was a good horse, but that one cipher too many has been added to his value. They are inclined to the belief that $250 would have been a good price, rather than $2,500. If Senator were only worth $250, then most of the purchase price must nave gone for the valuable equipment. More ought to be known about the saddle and bridle. We have seen a picture of these things but. although the camera does not lie, pictures often are deceiving. In the old days when fairies trod the earth there were magic wands. A good fairy waved a wand and pleasant things happened. But while the good fairies were bringing cheer there were witches who cast spells. Perhaps there was some supernatural power about the saddle and bridle. It may have been that he who touched the saddle drew from it strength that made him great among men, and especially politicians. The bridle, of course, was bn* symbolic of the rider’s power to say "gee” or "haw” to the multitude. But that saddle is full of mystery. Under its skirts, beneath its leather seat, there may be hidden away influences that would bring joy to the heart of the prober and information of compelling interest to those who have been following so eagerly the fortunes and fate of the late lamented Senator. Let us pass from the horse and give more consideration to the equipment.—lndianapolis News. The will of Charles A. Hoffman, Fort Wayne cider merchant, was admitted to probate yesterday and disclosed that besides distributing his fortune to and to institutions provided that $5,000 be placed on interest and the revenue given to the park board for the purpose of pay-, ing for musical programs. It may not secure Sousa's band and it may not pay for all the music desired in the parks of that city but Its sure a step in the right direction for it will bring pleasure to thousands of people during the years to come and may influence others to similarly provide for the very important matter of furnishing music, than which there can be nq more delightful entertainment. Bill Kogers takes this dirty dig at Presidept Coolidge in his Beverly Hill special today: “Os course we all know Cal himself is dry every way. But its the men that are associated with him that have to drink.” Cal is dry and uninteresting and its likely that some of the boys who have to stand for him feel like "drowning their sorrows” but we didn’t presume that

I even the tunny Rogers had the nerve to say so. He is referring to the raid on bootloggers which resulted in eleven dealers in rotten corn whiskey being nabbed. Arkansas City, Arkansas, one of the worst hit towns in the flood era of the southwest is this week getting back to earth. For the first time since April 24, last, three months, it Is possible to get about without the use of boats. Hundreds of homes were washed away and there is not a single place in the entire city that was not damaged. It does look as though we had plenty of relief work right here at home without worrying about the naval conference or other things for which we are foolishly spending our money. — We call your attention to the correspondence now being used in the Daily Democrat from various parts of the county. It is our desire to make this paper one which will be read with the greatest interest by every citizen of Adams county and we feel sure this feature will prove beneficial and will provide many items you will desire. Tomorrow night a lot of people will pay a total of more than a million dollars to see Dempsey and Sharkey, two big bruisers pummel each other around a ring in New York. We have' no objection to these men punching each other but we regret that so many suckers will pay them so exorbitantly and imagine they are having a good time. Sir Harry Lauder, Scotch comedian, can't be as "tight" as he is pictured.

He is associated with a Decatur man in the Telford-Lauder syndicate, drilling for oil in the Kentucky fields, which would indicate that he is not too tight to take a gambler’s chance. —Wabash Plain Dealer. We don’t care a whoop what the horse wus worth but we would like to know what Jackson gave "to boot” in exchange for the $2,500. From what we have heard of Stephenson we don't think he was "goofy” enough to let Ed Jackson put it over on him. How fleeting is fame after all. Tell ns right off the bat who it was that first swam to the Catalina Islands and who was that lady who only a year ago jumped Into fame by being the first woman to swim the channel? channel? | Whether a man is careful and prudent or not while driving the Toads of Michigan at any rate he deems safe may depend on whether or not he is going to or coming from the oasis in Canada. The only way Governor Jackson seems to differ from David Harum is that Dave always had a smooth alibi when he made a bad horse trade. And Mrs. Wheatcraft only got $250 from Stephenson. Evidently she has much to learn in the “horse” game. — o ************* * BIG FEATURES * * OF RADIO * ************* Thursday's Five Best Radio Features Copyright 1927 by U. P.
