We hope t|je council, the commis- • sinners, the industrial association and the railroads will all see to it that the approacnes are better marked. Right now Is the time to do your Christmas shopping early. If you 'wait longer than this week you won't • be in the early bird class. • ■ Now we suppose Mr. Gilliom will have to worry along several weeks before he knows his fate and we understand there are several others who are worried even more than he. Go to the Industrial banquet this evening, 6:30 at the K. of C. hall. The program is a good one and the boys need your presence. Be a booster. > The fi How who tried to knock over \ the concrete standard at Adams and Second streets is probably convinced I thats some job and can't be done by the ordinary car.

Two desperate characters, Greenwaldt and Betzhold, up in Wisconsin, killed Greenwaldt's wife. They confessed and one day afterward were on their way to prison under tii'e. sentences. Thats commendable for-tme of the causes of present conditions in America is the everlasting delay in the administration of justice. Now that congress is on, the reporters will not have to dig so hard i to get stories, probably won't pay I much attention to grand jury reports, i chief basis for headlines in Indiana the past year, for there is always a , good one in the cloak rooms when; the house and senate are on the job. | At this season of the year when | slippery streets are unavoidable, it I should be a constant rule of every j motorist to drive carefully and to put | the brakes on with care. Skidding may land you in the hospital and you are sure to skid if you don’t drive with utmost care the next several months. Whether its fear of defeat or some thing else, there are a lot of people i who seem to deplore the fact that the democratic party will have a J nominee for president next year. Whoever he is these folks will find I I fault with him. The bang-off of the, seventieth congress of the United, States showed that the 1928 campaign , will be a red hot one from start to finish. Some one has discovered that to ■ be able to get real rich you must re- 1 main thin and proves it by photos of Andrew Mellon, Henry Ford and John i D. Rockerfeller, each of whom has i piled up his millions by the hundred ' and each of whom is as slim as the ' proverbial rail, all of which is con- ■ trary to the ideas fixed in our minds by the cartoonists who invaribly dress the millionaire up as a portly, wellfed, overly groomed gent. Perhaps you never thought of it but Indiana | has James Goodrich, Henry Paul aud others of reputed millions who would stack up with Mellon, Ford or Rockerfeller in a fat and lean game. Some one who signs himself "The Bat” writes a lengthy essay on “The omnibus wallop” which he publishes in todays Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette, taking a dig at about everybody in' and around Decatur directly or indirectly and.doing It in eery readable 1 4 i

style. Its a little difficult to de--1 terming just what he is trying to say hut there is a paragraph to please about everyone, no difference what i his position is concerning the Gil- ; lioni matter and clever enough to make even those who are victims of 'ills sarcasm smile. • The Good Fellows Club is at work again, surest sign that the holiday season is near. Each year under the Delta Theta Tau sorority, this club is organized to guarantee the poor kiddies of this city, a Merry Christmas along with those more fortunate. ! Its a line thing to do and provides a ' system for taking care of this need iin the community. For the past several years thp people here have responded liberally and we are sure they will do so again this year. You will find the boxes in various places, at the banks, the Dally Democrat and

other business houses. Drop in a ilar or two or a dime or two and help 1 make it a real Christmas for the * little boys and girls who will other- ' wise be left giftless and hopeless. ’ JSJ I Just what will come out of the i grand Jury doings over at Decatur and the talk of prosecution at apolis is hard to -forecast. One thing seems to be settled in the minds of all, however, and that is that Mr. Gilliom is one grand chump, if he is playing to the galleries he will find much applause, but little aside from that. If he hopes to enter the" race for governor in his own party, he has paved the way for a probable nomina- 1 tion should there be three or more candidates and then what a licking he would get in the November election. By his acts he has made himself a "wet" stoutly though he denies it, and Indiana is not wet. If Gilliom found it necessary to administer liquor to save the lives of his dear ones, as attorney genera) of the state, a sworn officer to uphold the laws, why did he

have to give notice that he had flouted one of the much-discussed laws of the state! He may be indicted by an Adams county grand jury and he may Jje convicted, but not likely. And , what has come out of it all, and Gillion is to blame for the whole messy mess—Bluffton Banner. o *¥*¥«*¥****¥* * BIG FEATURES * * OF RADIO * !s¥¥¥¥¥¥-¥*¥¥¥!; TUESDAY'S FIVE BEST RADIO FEATURES WEAK-— Hookup 8:00 pm.
