It has a habit ot doing that. In the years gone by we have thought perhaps there was some ■bunk" to that expression, but wc have learned how true it is. Twenty-five years ago this evening we issued ’ the first number of the Decatur Daily Democrat. booking backward over those busy, interesting j and exciting days, it seems much less than a quarter century. So well imbedded in our minds are the incidents of those early years in the daily newspaper field in Decatur that it seems but a few years since' that first number appeared. We had i worked in preparation for that eventful day for two or three weeks and finally it came —a four page paper, filled with live news and which seemed to meet the approval of those who looked it over. An hour after it was off the press, the writer, then the manager, and Lew G. Ellingham, then editor and publisher, suddenly realized that we muse <do the same thing over the next day and the next ami so on. Then for the first time we began to see the size of the job we had tackled. We were younger then, however, and after a hurried hinch we went to the rear of the shop aw" fhuted type until midnight. Tin second paper was published on time, but the third day we were far from having sufficient type to go to press when the hour arrived, so a cut of John Nidlinger's famous Duroc bogs which had been used in getting out a catalogue job was slammed in to fill the space. For weeks and months the faithful gang worked incessantly, the only idea being to print a daily paper which would till the requirements and boost the community. After eight or nine months we purchased a Simplex type selling machine, which broke up type faster than we could supply it. Our subscription list grew from 800 to 2,000 I in a few months. The second year a linotype was in- 1 stalled and the struggle continued for four or five years when tho daily finally became a fixture in the community, carrying its own expense and gradually permitting the addition of modern equipment, now including three linotypes, a Goss press, cut making machinery and other equip- 1 ment and a circulation of 3,500 paid in advance subscribers. That first copy, dated January 12. 1903, is now an interesting file. We looked it through today and reread our declaration to sustain the imputation made by the weekly during fifty years -to serve tho public always, to provide the news, to support our ■ hutches, schools and public institutions fairly and give every one a -square deal. We have tried our best to carry out those promises and today wc reaffirm that platform These have been happy, busy, wonderful years, Including six nation al elections, a dozen state and county contests, the wet and dry campaigns, the World War and many other events of great importance. We have added to nur force, receive the reports from two gcrat news agencies and we hope in the iieiu - future to improve our service to you, believing thut wc survive and prosper only as we prove our usefulness and necessity to the best community in the world. Wc hope to continue to serve you another twenty-five years and like Grutidfatber Squeers, feel "We’ve tin bang of it now and can do It again.'

May we ask for your suggestlona * and your continued loyal support? I Does capital punishment restrict crime? Its a question now being agitated on every hand because of the i number of executions, the fact that two or three women and a number of ! boys have been condemned. Sixteen nations of the world have abolished , the death penalty and in eight of our i states it is no longer used and statin--1 tics show that in most ot these places i there is leas crime than where murder Is punished by death. Ita a very serious thing to consider with argu-. meats on both sides but few will ad-1 mlt they would like to have the ro sponsibllity ot being the executor. «■* WHO- “ i wi—■ — Ix>oking over the first copy of the Dally Democrat published.twenty-five year ago, we found eight advertisers. The Dig Store, The Bargain Clothing Company. Niblick'4 Company, Holthouse, Schulte & Company, Charlie Voglewede, The Boston Store,* Gus Rosenthal and Brittson Brothers. The same advertisements ran two solid weeks without a single change because we were too busy in the rush to bother with any thing we didn't have to. Several of these concerns are still in business here and can * ; observe birthdays much older than ( ' ours. A New York woman took her five children to the police station because she was afraid to go home for fear | lie*,- busband would barm them, says Fred Landis in his “Reason" column. If we were dictator of this Land and ( any bird brought five children into i the world, then made them afraid of 1 him. we would turn him over to the ( aviation department, have the first | ballonist that went up, take him along > for ballast and throw him out at the 1 « first opportunity! The harmony democratic meeting ] in Washington this week is a worth- , while event and we hope that every little cloud and mist is wiped away. However, there seem to be a number of dangerous reefs with wet and dry factions. Smith and anti-Smith boosters, favorite sons and this and that. As the radio announcer says, the democrats are determined to have peace if we have to fight for it. Senator Curtis and Robinson, republican and democratic leaders of the senate, respectively, have agreed that the Nicaraguan problem will not be discussed until after President Coolidge has made his Havana speech. The public will like that spirit of couitesy to the president and patriotism to the country. Senator Dill may know- all about pickles and their fifty-seven varieties, but he surely don't know the Amer--1 lean public very well or he would never impose on them as he will if he succeeds in putting over his bill to place a microphone on the desk of every member of the Vnited States senate. • Plans for Old Home Week are going forward and will be announced (lead Colds Relieved VYrWf with Vapors / 1 Snuff Video up II nose or melt in _ >4.1 <ll h ot water and mv* inhale vapors WICKS VAPOR UB Over t* Million Jars UsedYemu rvpjWP?! i aßr y Prices on Raditrons u are Lower H.

' within a week or two The big thing is that every one in the community becomes a real booster, a member ot the Old Home Week Association. Tbats what it takes to put it over right. It certainly isn't much relief to Mrs. Snyder to have a reprieve from eleven o'clock tonight to ten o'clock tomorrow morning. Hopeless as her case appears, It would seem to be just prolonging her agony. *¥¥¥¥¥>¥¥¥¥¥* * BIG FEATURES * * OF RADIO • K*¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥M Thursday's Five Best Radio Features Copyright 1928 by UP WJX, hookup, 7:30 p. in. — Ampico hour, with Benno Moiseiwitsch WJZ, hookup, 8:00 p. in — Maxwell hour: Broadway Night.

Sluggish kidneys allow waste poisons to remain in the blood and make one languid, tired and achy, with often dull headaches, dizziness and nagging backache. A common warning is scanty or burning secretions. Doan's Pills, a atimulant diuretic, increase the secretion of the kidneys and thus aid in the elimination of bodily waste.
