Ruth Snyder and Judd Gray have been laid to rest and will soon be for-' gotten, but in their places comes a trail of crime and murder that will , furnish enough headlines to please ; the hungriest for this kind of news. i1 We arc surprised that there would be seventy-five dollars in a school | safe and we doubt if such a golden [ t opportunity is often presented, which < might Indicate that some knew it t was there. f Another Sunday tomorrow and a , day for worship. We get so busy tv- t iug to make a living and keep up , with every one else that we often L neglect the most important thing in f life, preparing for eternity. , - . ■ . Harry North, former Prebls post- ( master, is under arrest on a federal a grand jury indictment as a result of , some discrepancy in bis accounts. We don’t know any thing about his V particular case but usually such ( things are serious when they go that j Ur •»»»» ' ‘ . . ... t They seem determined to fight out <1 the race question in Gary and its not ( a pleasant thing to face. Similar problems will arise in many cities before long for as the negro becomes j educated and more influential as he l: is each year, he will demand equal t recognition in every way as well us <j by ballot. a " i The democratic love feast in Wash- f ington this week was just that, clever- ( ly written press stories to the repub- t lican newspapers notwithstanding ami , you may feel sure that the leader;, ( of the party will do everything in j their power to bring about harmony and a fighting front that will be hard j. to beat. With the national differences well ironed out the democrats of Indiana can begin a campaign that will i g end in victory next November. ' t Did you know that Indiana is third < in the production of automobiles and fifth in automobile accessories? That ough to convince most any one that , Indiana is a real state with a lot. of t real people in it who haven’t been in * the lime light during the sad political hours of tlie past few years, hi i ' other words, if we hunt for it, there 1 are really a lot of good things we can 1 say about Iloosierdom. President and Mrs. Coolidge are j 1 enroute to Havana, Cuba, ou the most • important trip the president has ever made. Thia is the first time uu, American president has visited any ■ of the Lutin countries aud his message to be delivered next Monday noon is expected to be an important one, |, designed to bring about a better understanding between nations of this country and the territories south of here. It is predicted, and its more than a guess, for its based on statistics' that at least 25,000 people will be killed in automobile accidents this j year and that many times that number will receive more or less serious in-! juries. We know its easy to tell you to be as careful as you can. much easier perhaps than it Is to follow that warning every minute, but time ami again it hus been proven that the more caution exercised, the less

* number of accident*. • Surely Its ' worth « determination to stop. look. listen and do everything else which will prevent wrecks and collisions. Predictions are being made that foreign trade will Improve soon because conditions! in other countries are improving Perhaps s<s we hope jtbafs true, but most of us arc more I Interested in improvements of conditions here, especially among the farmers. If they are prosperous we will take a chance on getting a living, re gardless of how many automobiles are sold in Europe. Asia or the Bahamas. The Repport Auction school closed its mid winter session last evening, when a class of some forty members received diplomas, it was one of the ! finest groups which has attended this famous school for the training of men to become auctioneers mid they all agreed that they had received more than their moneys worth. Not a single incident occurred to mar the term .and the men leave here with a good feeling towards every citizen and the : town in general. They will carry the work throughout the country that this is a community of tine people and wc shall remember them as the thorough gentlemen they have proven themselves. Your special attention is called to the page advertisement in this issue on National Thrift Week aud to the several which will follow it. You should read each one of them care fully and profit by following the ad vice of your best friends—the bank ors. "Save and Have" is a splendid slogan and one that should be used as the household motto |for every family. We are very fortunabe. indeed, to have three strong, progressive and dependable banks liko the Old Adams County, The People’s Loan and Trust company and the First National bank. They are helpful tc the community, to every individua who patronizes them, to every enter prize and officered as they are by th> highest, grade meu are worthy of you: confidence. They advise you to "save and have" and that sentiment handed down many decades ago by Beujajnir Fiauklin, is sti'l good advice. John G. Brown, president of th< Indiana Good Roads Association, if making speeches in various parts of the state, advocating larger and more deuite highway plans. He declared in a recent speech at Angola: Indiana is not meeting traffic demands at present. At the end of 1927 people of this state owned 850,000 automo biles. For this vast number the stat, lias built less thau 1,400 miles of first class pavements. If the present rat* in automobile ownership and high way building persists, Indiana will have 1,060,000 cars and only about 2,000 miles of first-class pavement on state highways by 1930. A definite, specific state road building program is needed. To do that requires more' money of course, which can be secured by increased gas tax, use all of the license tag money, increase the license fee or a general property tax. Mr. Brown recommends serious thought by the people for something he insists must be done. *ip¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥» * TWENTY YEARS AGO * * z * * From the Daily Democrat File * * Twenty Years Ago Today * *¥***¥¥¥*¥*¥* Jau 14—Dr. George Newcomer, of Elwood, elected eight district chairman by Republicans.

•| Leading Jurist Likes The Book i, j 3 Editor Decatur Daily Democrat: Dear Sir. . , . .... In these (lavs of universal expression ot love and gixtcl lellowsliip, I crave a little space to say a word in commendation ol ‘ the hook, “Whence comcst thou Whither uoest Ihou," bv our !• friend and former fellow townsman, Bev. Dr. Leonard V>. A. i , Luckey. . , , .. I Dr. Luckey in the discussion of these two questions of world ' wide interest has j»one far afield and done much to confirm the ■ prevalent belief that humanity is the handiwork of a capable. . lovinq intelligence. . * I he book is as tree ol dogmatic statement as may well be; ' and his keen logical reasoning leads to the conclusion that an l infinitely capable and loving inle.ligencc would desire an object of affection, and would concomitantly with its creation provide that it should never depart from His presence. I sincerely wish that everyone, especially those in the form- > .dive period of character buihlinß, could read this unusuaLy clear and able discussion. 1 1 know of iio more timely and helpful gift, than a copy of Dr. Luckey's book. 1 Very respectfully, , • James T.

Thou? Whither Goest Thou?”—which you lave so kindly handed to the Editor of the Daily Democrat for lublication. I did not expect such a loving act of supreme regard from /ou. Os a truth. I could hardly have expected such a priceless ’em from any one. You have indeed said much in few words. I onsider the letter a Christlv gift, worthy the love and admiration -f the greatest intelligence. To say that I am profoundly thankful does not express to you ny heartfelt appreciation of your loving words and the spirit that aspired them. Time alone must disclose their true worth to the .vorld. to the divine Master and me. And dear Judge, when you hall see Him “face to face” and shall hear Him say: "Inasmuch s ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye ave done it unto me,” verily then, and thcn.only, you shad have our reward, hi the name of this blessed "Star of Bethlehem” Jesus, and or the sake of the many who shall be led to see Him and caused o believe on Him through your words, I rejoicingly thank you. Mav the joys and the spiritual gladness of the Holidays be ours and the deeper blessings of the fuller life constantly abide n you richly and through you abound greatly.
