Hays had the broadest smile on his face when he sailed from the V. S., wv ever noticed and we wonder whether its because he felt so good over his recent testimony or because he would not have to bother about it for a while at least. Bill seems to be in very bad. Al Smith leads in straw votes taken in Indiana and lowa state universities and in numerous cities and runs well in every one taken, even including Pennsylvania. There is nothing definite about a straw vote but it is at least unusual for a democratic candidate to be running ahead of every one else at this season of the year. It may portend little or much but its doggoned interesting. Arthur Brisbane says the American business man is learning to prolong life and cites John D. Rockefeller. Say, Art, thats one thing the American business man doesn't have a great deal to do with. He may be able to manipulate the prices on Wall street, fly airplanes and race automobl.es, but when it comes to staying here or passing over, he has about as much to say about it as any other mosquito and no more. H. Munro Fox, great English biologist, says blood of humans is red because it contains haemoglobin, which doesn't make it any clearer to us than before. He also says that the red color does no particular good except that it makes pretty girls prettier -or did before cosmetics became respectable. A strange thing is that al animals do not have red blood. The lobster is a blue-blooded animal and certain worms and insects have green blood. Now figure it out if you can. The Indiana highway commission has sent out notices, asking that people do not drive over macadam and state highways if they can avoid it and under no conditions to drive I over them with more than three tons. They point to the fact that they arte very soft and not in good condition and insist that the laws must be strictly obeyed. If that is true of state roads, and it undeniably is, then what about the county roads which are of lighter construction? It is good judgment—nothing else—to help save them. , The new bird started on its Hight by Senator Robinson, of Indiana, the otfier day has been named by Louis Ludlow as the "Indiana tillpecker,” a bird which he describes as being of the woodpecker family but with a beak so sharp it can drill through the vaults of the treasuries. They are best tamed he explains when kept behind bars. The senator has apparently contributed his bit to the cause of government and will be asked to step aside. Indications are that he will be defeated iu the primary, but if not, odds are against him for November. He's some bird, himself. Ready, get set, go-- Senator Robinson is going to make a speech in the United States senate this afternoon, at which time he will try to prove that the oil scandal is nothing more of less thau a political j>wear. He would say that and have the nerve to

| try to prove it and yet it must be ! remembered that the senate Is republican and that every committee, including those which do the investigating is composed of a majority of , members of that political faith. If I the democrats have been able to put over any oil smear, they are sure smart. And what about ail the other scandals in Washington und Indianapolis? Are these also just political set-ups? Robinson is fooling no one but himself. About fifty business men expressed themselves us favorable to an Old Home Week at last night s meeting and promised support, financially, morally and eVery way. Its was a fine, old-fashioned meeting when every ouq expressed just what was in his heart and mind and a good thing for the community. The event will be financed and given and will put snap into every oue who takes a part. The unanimous opinion as expressed was tb give it right and a campaign will be put on toward that end. In this motor age it is more important t».m ever in history that towns and cities do not go stale. Watch ton announcements from time to time. It is contended that a rule against slow driving should be enforced to prevent congestion of traffic. On a narrow road the slow drivers clog the lane. The answer is. there should be no narrow roads. Road builders thought if they made the road hard and smooth and well graded, they had laid down an automobile road They had not. They had built half a road. It ought not to be necessary to compel a driver to travel more rapidly than he cares to. Leisurelyminded people ought not to find that the age cannot tolerate their habits. There is much to commend them They are probably more solid and substantial than habits of going nowhere at high speed. The narrow road is just next to no road at all. Four lines of travel are required for d,ays in which every other person drives a car. The slogan "good roads” is not enough. Two more"words must be added, "wider roads." —Chicago Tribune. > ♦ »*****♦*♦♦** * TWENTY YEARS AGO * * * * From the Daily Democrat File ♦ ¥ Twenty Years Ago Today ♦ **¥¥**»***♦¥* March 29, 1998 was Sunday.
