Well any way the ship builders, amunition manufacturers and others, who profit by wars are having a hard; time getting any thing started either, here or abroad. Observe the stop signals, obey the

laws and the ordinances regulating traffic. Mayor Krick announces that from now on no leniency will be shown. The thing that is hard to under stand is how so many “blind tigers" can be operated in the cities under the very noses o: the federal officers. Are they all “bought and paid for?” — > Announcement is made that Wall) is to resign but it has not been officially given out whether the committee has succeeded in raising the $50,000 he is said by a New York paper to have demanded. Politics may be a “game” as the Adams County Witness terms it but even in must games which are played on the square there is, an umpire or a referee and usually he is not one of the beneficiaries. Ruth Elder came home yesterday, received the cheers from a crowd of curious and otherwise ami a kiss from her husband, Lyle Womack. She says she will try it again, he says she won't. Now we will see who is boss in that family. Tax reduction will be up first in congress and by the time that has been settled it will be time to discuss political matters for 1928. Just what will become of the flood bills, farm relief ,>nd others which have been talked about can only be guessed at but you don't have to be such an extra good guesser to win the first prize. We hold up our hands in horror when we read that the queen of Spain' took her family and went to a bull fight recently and we presume over; there they were just as horified to learn that two dozen governors and a lot of other imiuentials recently attended a prize fight in Chicago. And “dum" if we know whether one is much worse than the other or not. The basket ball season has opened here with the first school game between the Commodores ami Geneva Th Yellow Jackets will swing into action next week and for the next several months this game will furnish the big attraction for lovers of sports. That means that the football season is drawing to a close and it is though there are still several important contests of the college teams. If there is any polution of (he St. Mary's river and if there is any ‘stench therefrom, it is to be hopel a plan can be worked out whereby it can be corrected and we are sure it will be if there is any possible way to do it but so far as the carp are concerned it might be beneficial to get rid of them and then restock the river with some real fish. Say something good about some one. There is a lot of difference between the man who is aiways looking for something unkind to say and the other one who is always trying to boost. It doesn't make any difference what your job is you feel better il you hear of something complimentary which lias been said and others feel just the same way. Let's all then

• make up our minds that for the next ’ year we will speak only In the kind1 licet terms of others and see what a difference it makes. ' The extra warnings by the city oft ticials that stop signals, light regulations, speed limits and other rules and laws must be observed seems to be having .effect. We watched a busy , corner a halt hour today and did not i see a single violation. Its interest--1 Ing to note how quickly the people I i know whether or not they can slip .over the line a little. And we wouldn't advise you to try it just now. The officers are on the lookout for traffic law violators and intend to see that infractions cease. Ed Spafford, national commander of the American Legion says we will have another war and it will be a bigger one than the last. We hope not and we doubt it, at least for some years for the American people are not 1 in the war mood now and will not be 1 for several decades. In the meantime it might be well to be prepared while working for ever lasting peace The next war with its more powerful -

g gas and faster airplanes will be hort rible, not only for the soldiers but for e those who are feeding and clothing the army. And its so foolish. The Adams County Witness insists •• that "an election is like a game of B checkers. One side never tells the other what to do to win.” That seems to be the little petty idea which influenced Fred Rohrer to pull the dirty j trick on his friends and neighbors - No one expects one side to tell the > other what to do to win an election I but they do expect and have a right > 1 to think’ tlTat each side will have a fair ami equal chance to cast their ballots. This they did not have in ’ the Berne election. Just what happened or why we do. not know or I care, but it was certainly contemptable and all the “bunk” that the - Witness can hand out should only make their position worse. . They deliberately took away from the people ■ their right of franchise. They talk [ snout using a paster on the ballot ■ and yet Fred printed those baiiots so small a sticker could not be used ’ without mutilating the ballot. Those ballots on which names were written were called mutilated. It was just a high handed steal of an election and it is no defense to try and unload it on the inexperience of some one else. Shame on you Fred Rohrer, grizzled veteran of a score of elections. Your desire should be to assist in securing fair elections in which the people decide questions by a free ballot, rather than to win by a trick ami then throw your chest out and declare “see what I did and how slick I was.” | The good Lord pity this nation if af[ter all these years of effort to secure | lights of franchise, elections are still “games of checkers” or “matching of wits.” o *¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥* * BIG FEATURES * * OF RADIO * If ¥¥¥¥¥¥¥ ¥♦¥¥!?
