Thats the finest badge of loyalty you can carry. We have received about fifty mem- ‘ berships to the Old Home Week Club ' which is about one-twentieth of the ' goal. Help get the other 950 in. It 1 looks like a big job but thats what ’ Decatur likes. Lets whip it. ' ■! ■■■■■ i ■ I Don’t haul heavy loads on the ’ roads while they are soft, its a 1 violation of the laws of Indiana and j 1 its a shame to cause such an outlay ! of money as will be necessary if you 1 ruin them now. 1 — j' We have heard so much of Steph- f enson, Watson, Jackson, Pat Emmons, < Robinson and the rest of those mixed , up in one way and another with t affairs in Indiana that we would like < to see the state rid of them all polit- t ically. This is the time to do it. < - I Promptly and generously the people L of this community responded to the j, appeal for aid for a family suffering ■. for fuel and food. They were provid- i, ed amply and the best thing ot it all i, is the fact that, the husband andTj father was given a job and can now t take care of his own affairs. t i The general committee for Old i Home Week cannot and will not do t any thing until the finances are rais- ( ed for they propose to spend only J { what they have so there will be no deficit to spoil the event. Thats why ( its important that we push the good , old cause along. Join the club and | urge others to. I Louis Ludlow, well-known news-1 paper man, will be a candidate for the democratic nomination foi congress from the Indianapolis district. He is a high grade man who knows the needs of the people and the “hooks and crooks" of Washington. < He would make a sp.'endid congressman. of whom this state could feel proud. It is reported that Governor Jackson is seriously contemplating entering the race for the republican nomination for United States senator against Arthur Robinson. That would take iierve but he has it and the results would be of interest. We would like to know how many would actually vote for either of these men after what they know about them. One of those who joined the Old Home Week Club today was a man past eighty years of age, who told us 1 it would be worth several times the ( five dollars to have a dozen or two people he knows come back for the big week. Sure, it would and its worth ten times that to every one here to meet the old friends and to have a big fall festival. Lets hurry and raise the money and then get busy on the real plans. Mr. Hershman of the state highway commission brought us good news when he talked here Tuesday night He declared that the commission really intends to take over the east and west road this spring and he promised to see that the cwmmission cornea here toon for the purpose ot selecting the route through this

county. This will be ot interest and importance both eaet and west from this city for there are several proposed roads to be thus improved. The state will immediately take charge of the roads once they are taken over and will see that they are kept In first class condition and eventually will pave them. We hope nothing arises to cause any change in these plans. A singularly merciful statute of limitations in Indiana operated to keep Governor Jackson out of the j prison to which his predecessor went. ; Hut that predecessor, Governor McCray, gave testimony—and it was corroborated — that the present governor of Indiana offered him SIO,OOO and immunity in the county courts in return for the appointment of a member of the Jackson gang as public prosecutor. By resorting to a legal technicality, Jackson and his counsel abandoned any attempt tto disprove the charges of McCray. The governor avoided the probability of conviction and a jail sentence, tut if there remains a pillory of public opinion in Indiana he will find it almost as un-

comfortable. Again newspapers ot | the state are beginning to call for Jackson's resignation. It would be inconceivable that he would not heed, or even anticipate, the call, were not his particular brand of politician well delineated by past acts and expressions. The story is that Jackson protested against the legal device which freed him, but the description of his "broad smile of victory" a moment later and his triumphant handshaking evokes the thought that his protest was not so very passionate. When the former grand dragon of the klan, D. C. Stephenson, first issued from the Michigan City prison (it is one prison or another for Indiana political leaders) the McCray charges, there were calls that the governor deny the story or resign. For some time he did neither; now he is salvaged by the law which provides that attempted bribery ot a public official must be shown to have been concealed for the two years in which the : statute lies against the offense. So I far as Jackson is concerned, he has | neither disproved the charges ot his former cronies nor resigned; but three of them have sworn to the truth of the accusation. How much more imperative the reasons for his resignation would seem to any governor who felt loyalty to his state. Indiana politics and politicians have fairly wallowed "in the slime and disgrace of that (the klan) organization." as Judge McCabe puts it; and

RHEUMATISM AND | STOMACH MISERY ENDED, SHE SAYS “Konjola Relieved That Awful Grinding Pain In My Stomach,” States This Lady cITSsC-j MRS. ROSE MILLER "Koujola ended the rheumatism and stomach misery I had been suffering for eight years and I am gla<j to indorse such a medicine,” said Mrs. Rose Miller, 1101 North Adams St., South Bend, Ind "There was always constant grinding pains in my stomuh after meals. Gas formations would bloat me up and cause my heart to burnand palpitate wildly. Sometimes I thought. I would stop breathing. Besides being in misery all the time with my stomach. I suffered dreadful ‘ rheumatic pains in ray arms and legs. I was so sore and stiff. I couldn't move without being in pain. “Three bottles of Konjola relieved J that awful grinding pains in my stowach and ended all the other misery ■ I had been suffering for years. It lais oended every rheumatic ache and pain in my body and strengthened my nerves so that I enjoj belter sleep at night thau I have for a loug time. No medicine has ever done me as much good as Konjola." Koujola is sold in Decatur at Smith I Yager & Falk's drug store, and by all druggists throughout this section.
