That -.will mean a closer tie among our -people and many benefits. We should think Senator Watson would want Lowden and Hoover to enter the Indiana primary. If he can't beat them out in his own state he is foolish to got into the race. Hickman argues that hanging him or putting him in prison to rot. with Loeb and Leopold will not stop crim- ’ inal tendencies. Perhaps not, but it - will stop his, which is the question •> now before the court. Savings in this country have declined a billion dollars or nearly fifty per cent, since 1920. Whether its be- ; cause we spend more or get less to save has not been reported upon by the committee on statistics. How about your subscription to the Daily Democrat? You know we are making an extra effort this year to secure every renewal in a shorter time than before. This is our twentyfifth anniversary as a daily paper. The Indianapolis News supports Senator Watson in a column editorial. 'Twas not always so. In the past the News has not been strong for the oily Indiana statesman and 1 politician. Senator Borah wants to know just where Willis and Hoover stands on -i the prohibition enforcement law and 1 « if their replies don't suit him, the country will hear of it. Senator. i Curtis has already replied to Borah that he is for enforcement and its al-, most a cinch that the others will say' ~ "me. too.” They are afraid not to. «» - -a. » Burt Thurman is to be the man-1 «. ager of Senator Watson’s campaignl X for the presidency. If he wins he can X Pick his place in the cabinet, no X doubt, and if he loses, Jim will see • that he gets something as good as « his prespnt job as federal revenue | «• colleptor, so its not such a big gamble I — for Burt after all. ** — - Indications are that the governor's I “ defense is to be based upon the n» — statute of limitations, which may be i at «. excusable for a man who knows he , X is guilty and who is fighting evetry I X inch of the way to avoid a term in ■ X prison, but surely a man would not ' have nerve enough to thus clear him-1 ■' self and then continue to serve as the I governor of his state. It the republicans in Indiana are I . sincere about their desires to clean ' i , up the state situation they will con-’ sider Tom Adams of Vincennes, in-: J stead of Schortemeier or Leslie or • Jewett. It was Adams mure thau any ofltcr individual in tlje state who - started the invustigations, but instead ] NV ■ of praising hi in they read him out • of the party. Six states new have old age pensions and in each case report the law is actually saving money for the government. Tills does away with alms houses and does not cost nearly so much. It is argued. For instance In Wisconsin the average pension granted is J2t»o per year, while the

' cost for taking care of the aged poor ■in alms houses averages over >SOO I Its a question that will bo much dis cussed in the next tew years. The roads will probably soften up j again during the next few days and warnings are being neut out from the | higway superintendents office to be careful. Use good judgment, thats all that is asked. You know whether you are abusing the roads or not and you know you should not because when you do the county must pay the bill and you must help pay it. The resolutions adopted at the Walton League meetings at Bluffton i calling for government aid to dredge the Wabash river from Fort Recovery to Bluffton, sounds very fine, but if it takes as long to get action on it as it has uh to secure a federal building, even after the land was purchased, the youngsters in that section will be old and rheumatic before they can enjoy any fishing along its banks. We're for it but we doubt any thing that requires action through the red tape offices of Washington. “The state won by a neck,” flip-, pantly said young Hickman when the jury returned a verdict and later "at that its better to be dead than to have all those things the matter with you that the doctors and lawyers said 1 have.” Well, if it suits hint, it sure pleases most everyone else. While a few are trying to work up sobs for him by referring to his parents, most folks think of the parents of little Marian Parker and feel that ang punishment he can receive will be light enough . It wasn't a very good Friday night for Decatur-basketball teams if victories are necessary to make'Friday night a good one. But at that the vatious t/ams gave their opponents good tile . played' dean ball and furnished excellent amusement for i those w) watch the game for the sport th. t<- is in it. Decatur and Adan: ' .'y ha a bunch of splendid t an:-, t ’.is year and we need not be ashamed of them wherever they go. Thats the important thing. o *¥¥¥¥¥¥♦¥¥¥¥♦ * THE GREAT WAR * * 10 YEARS AGO * *¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥* President Wilson delivers his first peace address to Congress appearing unexpectedly as he has previously while making war messages. He lays down his famous "Four Basic Principles” for peace which are I—permanencel—permanence of peace must be assured; | 2—peoples, provinces no longer shall ' be battered about, but; B—every territorial settlement shall be made in the interest and benefit of the population * concerned; 4—all well defined national aspirations shall be accorded the I ; utmost satisfaction. Russia demobilizes her army and 1 declares that a state of war is ended President’s Naval Building Program Would Be Costly Washington. Feb. 11—-(UP) —President Coolidge's proposed five year Naval building ptogram, together with construction already authorized and under way, would cost a grand total I of $4,176,420,000, according to an official navy department estimate sul»1 milted today to the House Naval ati fairs committee. 0 1 "Wholesale Murderer” Electrocuted In Texas Huntsville, Texas.
