Indianapolis doesn't know whether John Duvall, his wife, Mr. Johnson or some one else is mayor or whether any one is. a fine delerna for a city of 375,000 ami tiiats only a small part of their troubles down there. Attorney General Gilliom says the Anti-Saloon league is a “hegemony.” i We don't know just what that is but whatever it is, it doesn't compare' with some of the names we have heard it called by blacklisted candidates. LaUndrys of the United Slates have decided to spend twenty million dollars in co-operative advertising during the next four years. Threefourths of that amount will be in' newspapers showing the wisdom of these business men. —- History some times repeats. You will notice in the “Twenty years ago”| column today that the Chicago Cubs defeated the Detroit Tigers for the 1 world series in four straights and that ' the same day President Roosevelt ' was urged to change his announcement that he would not be a candidate for president. Change the names and you can almost imagine the paragraphs were written today. j Cheering news has just been announced by Dr. W. A. Newman Dorland, the great Chicago surgeon, who after a thorough analysis states that four hundred of the greatest men of all times did their best work betw-een the ages of fifty and sixty. We believe that true where thought, sanity, carefullness and experience are more' necessary than strength. Adams county farmers will visit Michigan and Ohio sections where the corn borer has been at work several years to get first hand information concerning this damage causing insect and how to fight it to best advantage. Thats encouraging but we have felt all along that when the time came our farmers would take such steps as were necessary to. n/eet the situation. Illinois has completed a new prison at a cost of over five million dollars only to find it entirely too small. It required so long to build it that conditions now are entirely different than when th(*y started. The Statesville prison has three thousand inmates besides a thousand at Joliet and about that many in the Chicago jail and other prison houses. Tell you its getting to be a big problem. • Ruth Elder, beautiful and daring and Capt. George Haldeman did not succeed in crossing the Atlantic by plane but they got out of their adventure with no bad results but a ducking. A Dutch steamer bound for Texas picked them up. Seems foolish but the fact just made public that Ruth was to receive $250,000 from a moving picture company puts an entirely different light on the enterprise. We can understand how folks will take such a chance with a fortune if they succeed but doing it for the honor —well that’s another matter. Decatur added nearly a mile of ornamental street lights last evening "when Superintendent Martin Mylott switched North Second street on. Fine improvement and we are proud of our lights and streets and every- •

■ thing else here. By the way, if reali dents on North Second street will | trim the trees so the lights will have ia better chance to show off, it will ' iie appreciated and add to appearances greatly. ~ _________ Decatur merchants are telling you I through the advertising columug of this paper what they have to sell you and these messages should appeal. Read the advertisements carefully for 1 they are after all a very important , part of the paper. By studying these 'announcements you can save money, make better selections and trade at home with entire satisfaction. There is no reason why you should not but there are a million why you should, the biggest one being that you get more real value for your dollars. Senators Borah, of Idaho, and Norris, of Nebraska, are organizing the western republicans ami thats something to think about for these are men of size and ability who finish ; what they start. The announcement I means that delegates from the westi ern states will go to the convention I willing to listen to what these lead- ' ers say and that will mean thdt they I will not vote ror an eastern conservative. Book out for some real politics 1 next year. Its brewing now. I ..'.I -_ - | Old Bill Rogers knows his stuff. He has been teasing the ijQys for bets this week and with some little success, but he has just offered to make a wager that no one—not even Hearst o. Brisbane will care to take. He offers to bet a million even that everything Jim Reed said about the republicans in his recent speech was true. He wins and everybody knows it, but the trouble is so many keep on voting for and with them anyway, even with candidates like Jackson and bosses like Stephenson. *¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥* * TWENTY YEARS AGO * ¥ ¥ ¥ From the Daily Democrat File ¥ i ¥ Twenty Years Ago Today ¥: *¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥*> Oct. 14—Yeung man stabs Julius '' ~r~ ———r

Oct. 14 — (UP) —The old gag “I was going to buy my girl a book, but I found she already had one” no longer applies. The United States publishes more than 200,000,000 books a year—an average of two for every man, woman and child who can read. The census bureaus’ report on publishing for 1925 today showed text books if not “most popular” with their leaders, at least most numerous. Text numbered 78.641.843. Fiction was secend with 30.598.410, and juvenile books next with 25,213,635. Religion and philosophy were popular with 12,244,000 volumes. Poetry and drama numbered 8,817,255. The entire publishing industry, including newspapers, magazines, books and sheet-music, in 1925 included 22, 725 establishments, employed 296.324 i wage earners with wages of $502,114,078, and materials valued at $673,985,171, and expended a total of $2,482,1 065,950. All these figures aie an increase 1 over the conespondiug figures in 1923 and 1921 censuses. ■
