New York Friday, the thirteenth, called by some who believe in a jinx, Black Fi iday. After all, tis just about what we make it, like any other day. Charles McCabe, of Crawfordsville, wants until Saturday to think over his appointment as special judge to hear the Governor Jackson trial. They seem to be "ducking’’ the job. Houston, Texas, has been chosen for the next democratic convention, a hot okl spot about July Ist, but a democratic city, where hospitality will not be lacking and where there will be a spirit of victory that ought to send every delegate home fighting for the cause. — ----1 . There is a lot of grief in the world and it seems to grow worse instead of better. Perhaps if everybody would take liberal doses of the old fashioned religion, it would help. Jus now several churches in this localit. are endeavoring to interest the pub Jic iu the greatest and most importan: problem—after this life, what? Bette: think it over a little seriously. We don't know Jesse Jones, Texa democratic committeeman, but U must be a whale of a salesman. Wit', his smile and his pleas he succeeded in securing the national conventioi for his home city, Houston. Texas, al most lone handed. It will be abou 150 in the shade down there next July the hotels will be jammed and it will be a "red hot” convention every way you can imagine. The Daily Democrat is starting it*, twenty-sixth year and it is pleasinj to us that so far this month our re newals have exceeded any year o which we have the record. We wan you to know that our only purpose I: life is to serve you with the news am to eternally boost for Adams count; and her every citizen. We will give you the news me coming year, what ever it is, without bias and withoa prejudice and we hope you will con tinue to support us in the future a. in the past. Politics seems to be starting of, lather queerly this year with unex pected results when the leaders gath er. Houston was selected forth democratic convention, though it wa; not generally know that the Texai city was a contender. In the repub lican committee meeting at Indian apolis yesterday, the committee aftei considering George Ball, of Mun ie A. M. Smith, of Crawfordsville, am C. 11. Enloe, of Evansville, conclude, their meeting by < looting Fay Kitsol man, of Muncie, as state chairman U succeed Wall) who was forced to re sign, it looks like a year of politics surprises so you might as well get ready for them. Senator Watson failed to get eitiiei one of the Ball Brothers into his or ganization, but he did finally get Fay Kitsclman. also of Muncie, to accept the state chairmanship. Fay has tackled some job and he will fiut plenty of work to satisfy whateve. pep lie may have. The republics party in Indiana is in dire straits am no one knows that better than Wat son. who dslrcs to become a candi date for president. He has pounded every bush in the state seeking soma one who will do for governor and has finally decided to let the people decide it, which they would have done any way. He had almost as much

difficulty in finding a chairman Time T wiu ted whether” he ItMts wise as he Is credited with being or has lost some of his smoothues as he has be come older. >r. Hundreds of people in this section of Indiana who knew Judge Carl r ' Yaple, of Fort Wayne, well, could s arcely believe It this morning when they read that he had confessed etr--12 0 bezzlement and been sentenced to a •0 term of two to fourteen years In the „ Michigan City prison, where he was 5 1 taken last evening. He has been held 0 in the very highest regard and it is o hard to believe that he lived a "Dr. Jeckle and a Mr. Hyde” existence. He met his fate manfully and we are sure he meant his declarations that he would pay his debt to society and then repay every dollar he has appropriated, difficult though he may find it to re-establish the confidence he r held so many years. He served as ( judge of thp Allen superior couit a number of years. Ruth Brown Snyder and Henry Judd Gray were put to death last night on scheduled time, paying their last debt to the government which demands I 'an eye for an eye” and a life for a dfe. The world will feel relieved that it is over and regiet that it becomes the duty of men to cause such, terrible punishment. It is probable that n the years to come we will not >unish by using the death penalty, ve doubt that we ought to use it. ,Ve have thought often that if the | ongress would piovide a law that apital punishment be barred and in .. ts place arrange as many prisons as >ecessary for murderers and life prisners only, where they would be placd at hard work, fed prison food and ithout a single break to cheer th'-m. ae punishment would be severe, nough and the juries, courts, wardns and governors be iclleved from a i jrrible responsibility. To this law hould be fixed a clause preventing ardon except on undisputed evidence I innocence. The subject will be luch discussed during the next few ears. "One of the most costly errors made 1 advertising is to stop advertising. t costs you real money to quit.. It ■ enalizes you every time you slow up ‘ r ‘ease off.’ Stopping and starting 3 the most expensive thing in rail- ’ ■ oading. Every railroad man will tell , ou that the through train that runs 1 ong distances without stops is the , tost economical train to operate. So t is in advertising. It should be a irough train to be resultful. If a terchant wants to pass out of the üblic mind all he needs to do is to iscontinue his advertising. It is >etter never to start than to sthrt and top. Competitors are eager to take .dvantage of the store's failure to lay out in the bright light of pubcity. The man who says he caunit afford to advertise continuously makes grievous business error. He cannot fford not to advertise. He cannot fford to follow an in-and-out policy vith his advertising. He cannot afvrd to scatter his forces and run an ccasional ad. If your business does ot justify a large expenditure in adertislng then use a small one. Spread he butter a little thinner on th * read, but by all means spread it. .mail space continuously used may ie made effective if the right thought nd care is given to planning and writing the ads. If you cannot do it •ourself call in an expert or enlist he services of your newspaper. Make I in appropriation for advertising and . -pend it—every cent.” — Boot an 1 Shoe Recorder. «- ■ o Hasn’t Enough Money To Buy Auto Generator; Returns And Steals It Fort Wayn, Ind., Jan. 1 —HNS) — Ilarcm-e Shoeetafl walked into an an otnobile accessory store and tried to buy an automobile generator.

“Lindbergh City” 1 Blooms In France I i Paris —(UP)—On the night that ) Lindbergh swooped down out of the Paris skies, a disastrous fire swept through the shanty district of squatters who inhabit the "zone" around the . demolished fortlflcati ns of Paris. Charitable persons, including many Americans, contributed for the rebuilding of the little huts, and built in addition a nursery, gymnasium, playground. school, dispensary and community house in addition.
