A New York newspaper has discovered that the Anti-Saloon League is dabbling in politics—and just to think, they had tlie nerve to publish that fact. Henry Ford favors Hoover for the republican nomination for president. We are not sure whether he is in earnest or just offering his daily contribution to the first pages of the newspapers. There may be a few people who think they think weeds are an ornament but we are sure none of their neighbors think so. Weeds are unsightly and unhealthy at this time of the year. Please be good enough to cut them and keep them cut the next few weeks. The keeper of a Youngstown boarding house carried a dying man out on the street, giving as an excuse that he believed bad luck would follow if the man died in his house. The nit-wit should have no trouble catching up with bad luck. He ought to be locked in a cell with it for the next year or two. Senators Watson and Robinson. Postmaster General Harry New and Governor Jackson have all been invited to attend a republican picnic it Fort Wayne on the 20th. We would take a long shot that a couple of them will find it convenient to be some where else on that occasion for we just can't imagine them mingling. The Peru Daily Tribune published a thirty two page edition Thursday featuring the pageant Ma-con-a-quah to be given in that city August 11th to 14th. Sixteen pages were devot- . ed to Indian lore and early history . and'the edition was very interesting and was well supported with advertising. When men charged with murder can stave off the death execution seven years as have Sacco and Vanzetti there must be something back of it. Condemned to die next Thursday the representatives of the two men are continuing every effort for their release. It is queer how little it takes to arouse sympathy in this country and how far these enthusiastic sobbers will go. Now' all you men who have been fooling your wives by the use of cloves better get on the water wagon. ' Scientists have invented a breath tester by the use of which they can tell just exactly how much alcohol your hide contains. Federal officers are to be equipped with them and it is possible that they may be reduced in 1 price so that every household can own one. Os course Mr. Coolidge meant it when he said ho did not choose to run for president in 1928. We do not believe he would flirt with such a proposition. Unless something unforseen should have arisen he could have been nominated but he was wise enough to know that he would have become the issue and that he would even if elected have bad four very difficult years. The republican party must find other leadership for. 1928 and much depends upon their decision. The supreme court has decided that Dr. E. S. Shumaker, superintendent of the Indiana Anti-Saloon League

“contempted" that body and will have' P to be punished. Just what that will mean remains to be seen and in the meantime many people believe that the doctor knew what he was talking about when he made the charges , against ’he courts and others are 1 cheering Mr. Gllllom for his action in bringing about the action against the temperance leader, all of which would indicate a real scrap on the Inside of 1 the political family. * • • , While the democrats are looking 1 around for a candidate for governor i we suggest they might well turn i their eyes to Adams county where lives Senator Thurman A. Gottschalk, whose record of four terms in the legislature and one in the state senate speaks louder for him than does the record of any of those whom we have heard mentioned as probable candidates. Mr. Gottschalk knows much about the affairs of Indiana, is capable, is not allied with any factions, is clean and honest and would make an admirable candidate. So far as we know he is not even considering such a race but we repeat that the leaders will have a difficult time finding a man who would make a better candidate. This section of the state should be recognized and Senator Gottschalk 's many friends would get squarely behind him. During the last five years there have been approximately 1.475,000 one-family houses built in the Unite! States at a cost of $6,500,000,000. Scarcely any sizable city in the country has been free from a certain amount of imtensive suburban home building. Now, the unfolding of another story is beginning. Complaints are being heard that many of these little frame houses were flimsily constructed. Enormous repair bills are necessary. In some cities the hous< s are now in a tumble-down condition even after these few years. In some areas these rows upon rows of frame houses of store-ibox construction, standing close together, constituting a series of fire hazard. It would indeed be nothing short of a national calamity if it should develop that millions of American families, seeking to realize their cherished dreams for homes of their own and actuated by motives of -splendid thrift, have been defrauded in their investments. When you strike at the home you strike at the heart of the nation. When you defraud a man out of his home you rob him of one of the things most dear in life.—Thrift Magazine.

Activities And Power Os i State Officials Increased : Movement For Centralized Bureaucratic Control Over Local Government Units Dates Back To Goodnc , Power Os State Tax Board Extended. 1 > I II till*

Indianapolis, hid.. Aug. 6 —Ever since ■ James P. Goodrich led the RepubllI can party in Indiana in the campaign for ihe centralization of power, it has been maintained by a great part of I the citizens that some centralized bui reaucratic control over local government units is necessary. To attain that control the powers of the state tax board were greatly enlarged by the legislatures under the administration of Governor Goodrich. Since that time the power, of the tax , J board has been still further extended and additional supervisory power has been lodged in other bureaus by successive legislatures. Increase Power The 1927 session was no exception in this regard. In addition to passing twelve laws for the regulation of private enterprise and forty-seven laws 1 giving local governmental units additional authority, it passed several laws intended either to enlarge the activities of state officials or to grant them additional authority over local officials. . These were adopted under Chapters: 10 —Authorizing the highway commission to build bridges on state boundary lines. 18—Authorizing the governor to appoint railroad policemen. 20 —Designating the governor as trustee for funds collected for the national guard units. 22 —Creating the George Rodgers I Clark Memorial commission with exofficio members. 36—Establishing the Indiana naval militia. 55 — Levying a tax for money to fight the corn borer. 56 — Empowerizing state tax board to re-assess real estate at more frequent intervals. 94— Levying a special tax tor the benefit of the universities. The Budget Law 95— Requiring local taxing units to submit appropriations not included in their annual budgets to the approval of the state tax board and providing , penalties for exceeding the budgets. | 97 —Requiring local school authorities to recognize the tenure of teachers and indefinite contracts. 105 —Empowering the state to grant ( title to meander lands. | 123 —Levying a tax for a state forestry fund. / 187—Authorizing Indiana University, Purdue and the Indiana normal to build dormatories for students. 197—Extending the power of the slate veterinarian to subject cattle to the tuberculin test. 216—Establishing a bureau of crimI inal identification under the secretary of state. 241 —Authorizing heads of state institutions to sterilize the unfit. | 249 —Making the state examiner secretary of the state budget commute. Became Desirable These eighteen statutes were, in the main, made desirable by the entension of authority to local officials or by the curtailment of local discretionary power to the point where | some provision in the state government became necessary to accomplish the desired results. I With these marked examples present, there is much to justify the conclusion that the theory of Indiana government is this: 1 Tto permit local units every opportunity to engage in any form of activity that ma / be suggested or urged by its citizens. I To create supervisory state bureaus ( Vupl \ AtU<o I \ COEAE fa / BUAX / / L J’ AuXgA? .yy > BOSTONIAN SHOES FOR MEN Teha-T-My&u & Sort y CIOTteIMG 4»0 SI / FOP. 040 *NO i - I —_____

to control, direct and res!rain tlie local units when deemed necessary. To extend the supervisory powers of the state bureaus steadily until i they, become licensing agencies for, such private enterprises that touch] on the lives of any considerable num-| ber of the citizens. Disguised under any name that may be agreeable, this theory is still dis-1 tinguishable as pure paternalism. The era of paternalistic develop-1 ment began in Indiana approximately ten years ago and it has advanced with every session of the legislature until paternalism has reached almost unrecognizable proportions in the state. . *»*»¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥♦] * TWENTY YEARS AGO * ¥ * ¥ From the Daily Democrat File ¥ ¥ Twenty Years Ago Today *] *»¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥* August 6—Fred Hoffman and sons, L contractors, receive fouteen Troy wag- i ons for hauling stone on road contracts , Gieen Smith, democratic leader, ] dies at Indianapolis.
