We presume Mr. Gilliom will soon attempt to show that Duvall was nomina'ed and elected mayor of Indianapolis by the democrats. Indications are that the elections over the country next year will be exciting and in cresting, judging from the statements now being hurled about. Frank Dailey can make an organization that will sweep Indiana and will if given the support he deserves from the citizens of the state who really desire a return to solid and fundamental doctrines. Every dollar invested in farm lands at present prices will within a few years be worth two and in the meantime ought, to prove a very good in- ' vestment. The time is near agaid when a farm will be considered the 1 best asset one can have. Don’t get any other idea in your head because 1 it has "to come out that way. ——_____ i Will Irwin has gone to Washington 1 to coax Mr. Sanders, the president's secretary (o. become a candidate for governor, declaring he is the only man he knows of who can save the s ate lor the republicans. And he would be no cinch and knows it. Sav- • ing the state for a political party is . not nearly so important as saving it 1 c for the people. Orders are increasing at several of the local factories, indicating an im- i - provement in general conditions that i will be more than welcome. The past ; • several months have not been as brisk " as might be desired but everybody is • hoping for a speed up that will make the next year busy enough to make » up for it. J - • How to aid in driving out the corn • borer will be demonstrated at the Gilliom farm near Berne Thursday • afternoon when experts will again • explain the work and show how lo use the binder and sleds for cutting the stocks. It is important that every .. farmer who cau possibly attend these « meetings do so. Lets help every way ‘ we can to eradicate this menace. It stands to reason that the we fight the corn borer, the less we , will be troubled by it. If a vigorous , campaign against this pest will reduce ‘ the damage, certainly its worth doing. In several Ohio and Canadian ‘ counties, excellent corn sections have ’ been destroyed so far as raising this ‘ crop is concerned and other crops • have been effected. We certainly don’t want it to ever reach that point' here. • Local business men could increase trade and help this community by adopting a concerted plan. Others use trade days, dollar days, gift, days and various attractions. Os course there are two things to consider — getting the crowd and then pleasing them. The old adver'ising asnociation should call a meeting of their directors or members and work out a program. To sit still and let the parade march by is never a good thing. The state highway between here and Monroe, state and federal number twenty-seven, is uow open to traffic and is being used extensively. lt| seems to be a very good job and has ! a foundation which can be main- 1 tallied from year to year without

| much expense. We appreciate It and ' now if the state commission will! come through with the east and west road we will be inclined to be happy. At least they ought to tell us what Is holding them from their promises ' made weeks ago. I Sfc: 1 A Pennsylvania judge, in refusing ’ citizenship to forty aliens, announced he would naturalize no persons who , have not made honest attempts to ) learn to write English legibly and to 1 speak It intelligently. “We spend mil- > i lions annually to educate our own i and force them to go to school,” he [ said, “it would be unfair to our native-born to require them to read and write and then give a foreignborn the same right without similar requirements.” A dozen people were killed and more than a hundred injured in automobile accidents which occurred in the state over the week-end. A week ago when warnings were sounded about being careful none of these folks took it seriously. We always feel such things are intended for the other fellow and that some how we have a charmed life that cannot be so snuffed ou: and so we dash along paying but little attention to the “stop, look and listen" signs, to the crossings or to the drivers of the other cars. If we would all remember that driving is a dangerous pursuit in these days of traffic stagnation and that all kinds of people in various mental and physical conditions are holding the wheels, surely we would , be more cautious. |

Mr. Gilliom's bill of particulars was rather flimsy aud ought to be easy to answer if any one cares enough about it to give it the time. He declares the klau started in southern Indiana. Well, the democrats lost several normally democratic districts as a result. He says the klan predominated in the democratic sections. That certainly isn’t true for Adams county. The tenth district bad the largest klan membership in the state and gave the largest republican majorities. He claims the Indiana delegation to the New York convention was klan dominated, certainly a misstatement for a number of the dele-ga-es were Catholics and can vouch that no effort was made along that line. But why argue the question when every one well remembers the results of those elections in which the klan predominated? The republicans have won about every office in the state for years and most of their candidates were endorsed by the leaders of the super-government movement.

S. supreme court, is to meet here next week to discuss judicial problems, including the crowded dockets of federal courts. The conference, provided for by congress in a movement to speed the sometimes leaden heels of federal justice, will seek means to expediate cases to early decisions, eliminating long delays caused by appeals, which sometimes cost civil litigants much money and sometimes delay for years the serving of criminal sentences. One of the obstacles to fast action in the courts is the bob-tailed appropriation for the federal courts’ expenses, resulting from the failure of the second deficiency bill in the closing hours of congress last March. Due to lack of funds between March and July 1, many cases had to be postponed, although efforts were made to complete all pending criminal cases. The dockets, however, have many carried over cases left this fall. The meeting probably will open Tuesday and continue for three days. — o 10,000 Attend Cleveland Street Car Fashion Show Cleveland, 0., Oct. 4, — (UP) —Henry Ford is not the only manufacturer in the United States who has a new car. Half a hundred new ones—but street cars this time-are being shown here this week at the American Electric Railway Association convention. Many changes in design are made in the new trolley. According to promises made before the “Street Car Fashion Show,” opened, these cars are decorated inside and outside with colors calculated to catch.the eye, at least. No one can complain that he doesn’t see these cars coming, though they are distinctly designed not to be heard coming. War has been made on the old heavy truck type of car and an approach somewhere near to the noiseless has been made. They are much lighter than cars have been in previous years. Roller bearings on some of them have helped. Ten thousand delegates were present from various parts of the United States and Canada and 120,000 feet of exhibit space was covered today when W. H. Sawyer of East St. Louis, Ills., president, opened the convention. O Mr. and Mrs. George Mast have returned to their home in Seberwaing, Michigan, after a visit with Mr. and Mrs. D. Ti.

CHILDREN SHOULD : NOTTRAVELNOW Physician Urges Parents To Protect Children Against > Infantile Paralysis ( —_ By Chester A. Baker (U. P. Staff Correspondent > 1 Indianapolis, Oct. 4 — (UP) Although there Is no immediate cause for alarm over the possibility of an outbreak of infantile paralysis here, 1 children should not be jermitted to ' travel any more than absolutely necessary, Dr. Herman G. Morgan, City Board of Health secretary declares. “The public’s general fear of the disease, of course, is not without just cause, for medical science has not as yet discovered a certain method tor ' cure or prevention,” he said. Infantile paralysis was first described in 1880 and the next outbrake cc--1 cured in 1905-6. originating in Sweden, according to the statement of a doctor here. In the late summer or in the early fall is the most suitable time for the disease to make its appearance. The persons attacke usually range from infants to children of 10 year}. Some authorities believe Infantile Paralysis Is as prevalent as measles, many children having “abortive" attacks which they have natural vitality to throw off. “The disease is due to virus that attack the central nervous systeir. First symptoms of its appearance are a general depression and malaise with a tendency to protect the body and shun physical activity,” Morgan continued. “O stiff neck and spine accompanies the first stage of the disease and para, lysis usually develops within two or three days. The legs are more frequently affected than the arms. "Paralysis of the respiratory centers commonly results in early death of the diseased. “Unquestionably in many mild rases there is a lack of symptoms and the disease only affects the gastro-intestin-all symptoms. These eases are known as abortive’ type cases," he seid. “Even if the outbreak were as mild whooping cough, undoubtedly parents wouldn’t let their children go where they might catch it. So Morgan concluded his interview with the statements that: “The best way to prelect children from the disease is o isolate them from anyone who might possibtly have come in contact with the disease or be suspected as carriers." For the reason he advised

Oct. 4.— (UP)-Airplanes flying at night on a couhe not on one of the 18 or 20 air-mail routes In the United States arc more than likely engaged In smuggling or some sort, usually of liquor, writes Walter Hinton, a well known aviator, In an article i In this week’s liberty magazine. "Some weeks ago," he writes, "an air-mail pilot flew out of Chicago in the evening, east-bound with his mighty load over the well lighted route that the post office department | has established for the fastest mail service in the world. The pilot was not due to meet the west-bound maili plane for more than an hour; so he 1 paid little attention to what was ! ahead of him. After about 30 minutes j In the air, however, he pullel back on the stick just in time to zoom up and hurdle a monstrous thing coming straight at him. “It was another plane," the writer explains, "flying blindly without navigation lights. “You may see a bootlegger's machine high overhead in the daylight; and at night you may be aroused from sleep by the pesky thing as it swings low over the chimneys. Yet you will never rftognize the pilot or ship. He never announces a flight, and if he crashes, he rips out all the valuable instruments that he can carry, providing he has the time and is physically able. The rest is mystery," ■ o Boy, 15, Gets Life Sentence For Murder Cedar Rapids. la., Oct. 4. —(UP) —A 15-year-okl boy was ready to go to Fort Madison stale prison today to stait serving a life sentence for murder. He is Lyle Messner, who pleaded guilty to killing Kathleen Forrest. Judge John T. Moffi.t, who pronounced the sentence, heard 15 sta’e witnesaes, Lyle’s parents and sister, and Prof. Thomas Brennan of the state psylchopathic department before he set the penalty. Prof. Brennan said the boy’s mental age was It) years. The youth himself seemed bored by the proceedings.

Polygamy Is Criticized ’ At Buffalo Convention Buffalo, N. Y., Oct. 4.-(UP)—Pro-posals for "temporary families.” for a polysemous system of marriage, forth- care of children by the state Instead of by their parents, and other radical plans for changing the family as an institution were criticized by n famous biologist here this morning during .he Conference on Family Life in America Today, attended by social workers from all parts of the United States, Canada and Europe. In a paper on the “Biological Basis lof the Family,” Herbert 8. Jennings, professor of Zoology at Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, traced the family life of living things from the simplest organisms up through insects, reptiles, birds and animals to man and then said:"The monogamous ' family, with life-long union of the mates, appears as the final term in a
