It will take more than a horse to pull the governor out of the hole' they arc now crowding him in. The governors at Mackinac Island are not half so serious about farm relief as are the men who are in the hay and wheat fields these boiling hot days. There are still some original fellows in the world. A man out at Salem, Oregon, gathered up all the license plates he could and this summer is having his home shingled with them, them. It is to he hoped the governor will get some new ideas at the meeting at Mackinac this week but we don't, see how he cau use any more. He' certainly has chough to do straightening out some of the tangles in the state affairs now without i-j.ai/ing anything else and It is scarcely possible he will find a means to distract attention from the black boxes and their contents. George Dale is one of the few men who can boast of having been refused admission to the state penal farm when he called there. He failed to take his committment papers along and the warden said he had no right to admit him. Usually a fellow is , fighting to stay out and so its unus- I ual for a fellow to have to coax to get i inside tlie door. He is to' go back in I a regular way Saturday and is to be I released immediately. Head “What boosting Decatur S Means” in last evenings issue of the j Daily Democrat. It is an appeal for ' cooperation from a bunch of live ■ merchants and business men and it j gives the best definition of what a j booster has to be to ge results that r we have heard. Every community j needs boosters and every body can [ be one if they will. A kind word here | and there that will help some onther [ fellow is sure to return you a hun- j dreil fold measure of profit. With continued good judgment and J a desire to do something really | worth while, we can within a few J years, if we strive to save as well as ‘ pro.t.-r s have a tax rate in Decatur J that will make every one si. up and j: take notice and ask, how it can be ■ done. With a city plant earning a ! profit and with the indebtedness al- * most wiped out its time to begin to I place this city in the very enviable | position occupied by a few cities in ■ the United States of a tax rate next “ to nothing. We hope every body who J has anything to do with fixing tax “ rates will keep in mind the fact that ! this is one of the very important t features of any community. ! Illinois has suffered as has Indiana J from the acts of men who thought " they were “the law.” Illinois is try- J ing to clean up the rotten mess which J has created such an odor and there J are indications that success may J crown their efforts. Charles Birger, j a man of as pleasing personality as ! that of “Old man" Stephenson, sent ; his henchmen out on missions of ! death and for several years one crime has followed another in southern Illinois. Now Birger has been convicted of murder and sentenced to death, a proceedure that will probably prove beneficial, in that it will inform his associates and his emulators that even in Illinois the business of mur-

! der has certain risks. Indiana must likewise clean house and must get r(d of those who believe they can order courts and officials to do certain things of certain benefit to a certain few. In the Indianapolis Times yesterday Governor Jackson was charged with two offenses of the most serious character. One Is u/ttemp.cd ' bribery, while he was secretary of ; state, of Governor McCray, and the I other is active sympathy with a group I that apparently attempted interference with the criminal process of the courts, through the control of the office of prosecuting attorney. There could hardly be a greater aspersion on the character of Governor Jackson, as an official. We can see but two courses open to him. One is to make it clear that the charges are false —and more th n a mere bare denial will be necessary to do this — land the other is to resign his office. I That, as we see it, is the alternative that is now presented to him. I The people are tired of quibbling of, silly explanations and unsupported denials. We are not now dealing with a case in court in which innocense does not have" to be proved, but with a situation that touches the public ami the honor and good name of the state very closely, and which involves the fitness and character of the state's chief magistrate. The Governor’s innocence must be made clear and put beyond suspicion. Nothing less than this will satisfy the people—or ought to. —Indianapolis News. o * TWENTY YEARS AGO * * . * ¥ From the Daily Democrat File ¥ ¥ Twenty Years Ago Today ¥ #¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥:!: July 28. 1907 was Sunday.
