After reading and listening to various arraignment of officials, national and State, we wonder what the conventions will find to ‘view with pride.’ Who remembers that at this season of the year sasafras tea was considered a necessity unless you could get plenty of Bock beer? Now we have neither. Senator Robinson, junior from Indiana. will probably get along in his seto with Governor Al Smith just about as well as he did a year ago with Senator Reed. He seems to be a little light for that kind of work. ' 9 Postmaster General New thinks that 25-year sentences for mail robbers are inadequate. Not if they serve them, Mr. New, the trouble is that they don't get a good start until they are out and at it again. According to a news story three operations cured a New York bandit of criminality, but the dispatch doesn't make plain whether the last one was the same as was applied to Mr. Gray and Mrs. Snyder or not. If it was we can understand just why it cured completely. After the newspapers of Indiana have furnished columns of publicity free to the Hoosier State Automobile Association, they have just announced that they will spend a large sum in bill board advertising. Thats not only ingratitude but a large dose of inconsistency, since they have been quite earnest in advocating the displacement of signs along the roads. We don't just get it. Some one should make it their business to hunt up the practical jokers who announce that heroes of the air have been found when there is nothing on which to base such a report and punish them so severely that others will take due cognisance. It is wrong to thus raise the hopes of relatives, friends and admirers only to have them dashed down when attempts are made to confirm the stories. Thomas 11. Adams in his speech over *WLW lasl evening declared that two-thirds of the adults of this country do not vote. If that be true it largely explains present conditions if only those who work at politics together with a few who consider their government seriously, cast their ballots, then it is assured that the best element will not predominate. Whatever your politics and whatever your opinions and whoever you favor for office, this one duty you should remember, that to keep this a government for the people and by the people, you should vote. No one denies, the world is changing. Ou every hand we see it and one of the ways is in the building of cities. Only a few years ago it was the rule that to be a good citizen otic need only iniud his own business, keep out of debt and avoid breaking laws but a community's development can not be promoted these times on any such limited basis. The tact that ■some towns still have the old fashionad spirit is one of the principal reasons why they du not go ahead

faster. Some must carry on the work of churches and fraternal societies, some must work for community commercial organization, some for educational purpose* and social activities, all should work together for common causes. You should not consider it a sacrifice if you are asked to devote time to helping boost your community. You should love your home county and city so much that to do these things will be a pleasure. If YOU will and we do, this city will grow and prosper and so will every one in it. Will YOU? - We listened with much interest last evening to an address by the Honorable Thomas H. Adams, a candidate for the republican nomination for governor, delivered from radio 'station WLW, Cincinnati. It was an I able address by a veteran newspaper ! man who loves Indiana and who three ' years ago, sensing the depth to ■ which this grand old commonwealth 1 was sinking because of the fact that' it was being sold out and delivered ' by corrupt politicians and officials, began an exposure which has resulted »in the indictment of governors, judges. niSyors, bank examiners, political committeemen and chairmen and in the conviction of some twentyfive. We repeat, it was a great speech, but it was at the same time an indictment of republicans almost to a man. The republicans have been in power in this state twelve years and in the nation eight and they alone can be held responsible for the present conditions. Mr. Adams is right but in him the people will not find the desired and needed relief for in the j first place hp will not be nominated or elected by his party and in the second place he would find it an impossible job at his age to clean up the state. The relief is in the selection | of a democratic administration. You should bear that in mind. o *¥¥¥¥¥•>•¥¥¥¥** * BIG FEATURES * * OF RADIO * X¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥K THURSDAY’S FIVE BEST RADIO FEATURES WOR—Newark (422) 7:20 pm. Newj York philharmonic orchestra.

Major General Peyton March Acting i Chief of Staff of the U.

In an address to the representative of the British association he says: “Let i us picture the very beginning of time, before even the sun bimself had con solidated from the original protyle We require a word analogous to protoplasm to express the idea of orlg Inal primal matter existing before the evolution of the chemical elements.'' Don’t Let That Cold Turn Into “Flu” That cold may turn into “Flu," : Grippe or, even worse. Pneumonia, unless you take care of it at once. Rub Musteroleon the congested parts and see how quickly it brings relief. As effective as the messy old mustard plaster; does the work without .blister. Musterole, made from pure oil of mustard, camphor, menthol and other simple ingredients, is a counter-irritant which stimulates circulation and helps break up the cold. You will feel a warm tingle as it enters the pores, then a cooling sensation tliat brings welcome relief. & Tub— — Better tbaa a nuutard piaster

When we think of the good old times it will bring, of sweet memories of those (gone but not forgotten), of old time friends who will come and clasp glad hands and talk of many things that happened ever so many years ago. We believe there will be ; people from many states who will | come to “Old Home Week”, who knew | Decatur when it was just a small i town, and the surrounding country was heavy timber, dotted here and there with log huts. And we also bei lieve there will be people come /to \ Old Home Week that will remember , the little old towu of Salem, built : many years ago and consisted of . a few houses and an old log church. Many old people‘can recall this old log church and tell of the good times spent here. About Roads Editor Democrat: Now that each township has a surplus fund for road work no doubt there will be an epidemic of road petitions. There will be some put out on the excuse "if we didn't get it some other road would.” No doubt in every township are a few roads deserving to have the old road bed destroyed and rebuilt, suich as mud roads. We still have some mud roads in nearly every township. It looks as though when a new road is petij tioned that these should be given prefi erence. An enlightened county as ours has no business contracting for rebuilding our good roads while leav-
