SOMETHING ROTTEN:— (The Western Christian Advocate) Yes. perhaps you have heard it. j There is something rotten in polities! i? America. One almost dislikes to I write about it for fear what he ex- 1 loesses wiM Im? ancient history by the time it reaches the people. Every dey there is some new revelation. 1 es, every day there is another name i of a prominent man brought into disrepute. There they are; line them up before you; look into their faces; , recognize them. You have seen them ! as leaflets; you have read about them; their hands have been on many movements; they have been related to many enterprises. Now look at them. No, no, don’t name them! There they are in the “G. O. P. ■ Party": there they are in Indiana; there they are in Pennsylvania; they are in Illinois. In other States they have taken to cover. Oh, these mud puddles of political corruption that have been deepened and widened until they have left a smudge on politicall fame- Smudge, did we say? With some of them it is more than that. They have been inundated by corruption that has left them so thoroughly I saturated that they will never recover. What are we going to do with our political parties in some of our States? Does graft steal the heart of integrity? Does the opportunity for gold rob men of their brains and leave ■ them helpless as children? Why is it that men will sell their honor for wealth and private gain in the field of politics? We know the difficulty of answering these questions. Nevertheless I any man may answer them for himself. How can we clean up our political parties? When will we urge for a house-cleaning that will drive the ■ grafter and the corrupt er and the commercialized office holder out of public life? Can anyone answer? | Well, we had thought that when the I women 'got into politics they would 1 help. I’etliaps they are not in as yet. They are only waiting at the threshhold; moreover, we must not wait for' them. Honest men in private life, men of means and understanding, should feel themselves called upon to enter politics. Furthermore, per- : haps the day will come when men, will be trained to hold political of-j lices relate dto our government. Men | should be trained to be citytmanag-i ers. There shout! be courses offered in our universities for the science of municipal government, which is as 1 much a reality today as that of our National Government. The American people should speedily come to their ! senses; something different should be; proposed and assumed as part of our ! public duty in the near future. ———■ The s'.eet storm has caused the Citizens Telephone company of this city to suffer a severe financial loss, estimated by the manager at $35,000. The company is doing every thing possible to restore the lines and de-; serve the greatest cooperation from the patrons. The largest loss seems to have been to the rural lines where a thousand poles are down and where several weeks of work will probably Ire necessary to make Complete re-| pairs. Every thing possible will be; done and with all the speed that can be given. In the meantime your

patience Is desired. The city plant and the telegraph companies also suffered heavy losses from the storm which was one of the severest of its kind ever known in this section. ' 1 Six men drove up to a suburban !; bank in Portland, Oregon, to trans- ; act business. They wanted to get ■ money by a process known in practically every community. Four of I them remained outside to survey the neighborhood. Two drew revolvers I and went inside to complete the deal. ; They ordered the bank force into the ; vault. As the cashier turned to obey. | he seized his rifle, kept handy since the bank bad been robbed three weeks I before, and fired from his hip, killing ouo bandit. He raised his rifle and kitted the second hold up man. The ' four lookout men fled. The coroner removed the bodies, the janitor mop ped the floor, the cashier reloaded his rifle, and business went on as usual.—Colliers. '■i at The finance committee will solicit you for funds with which to give an Old Home Week here. The drive will be made Tuesday, the teams starting out at eight o'clock that morning and continuing i,..til the I canvas is complete. Whatever you give will be money well invested for it means the livening up of the old town and a week of merriment, unexcelled, next autumn. In the meantime the committee in charge of the soliciting for club members will get ' busy and there is no doubt in our minds of the ultimate success of the affair. When the men of this community take off their coats and go to work, they always make good and ' thats what will happen on this. The Decatur branch of the General Electric is back to a full time schedule of five and one-half days a week, good news, not only for the employes lof that splendid instittuion but also ’ for every one else in this community for it is the harbinger of better times. The outlook for a busy season was I never better here. All other plants are running full time and at the sugar plant a number of extra men are taking care of improvements which includes the rebuilding of the ■ I yards. Plans tor a number of new residences and several building I blocks are now being prepared and. Decatur will step out this year. Do | . your part. • It is perhaps impossible to measure the damage done by the recent storm to the beautiful and numerous shade 1 and fruit trees of this community. Hundreds were torn down and almost I every tree here was more or less ■ damaged. We notice that those trees I which were trimmed last year escap-; ed.with much less damage than those which have just been left to grow , | naturally. Needless to say that as ■ soon as possible every one will do; their best to save the trees which 1 have been so badly riddled by the! : sleet havoc. George Remus is at liberty, another' black mark against this nation which boasts of its justice and its laws, j Remus who was the "king of the boot- j leggers" and who amassed a fortune, set ved a term in prison, shot his ! ; wife to death on the streets of Cite- | cinuati. Ho was found not guilty on ■ the grounds of insanity and sent to . 1 the state asylum at Lima. He deI ( fared he would be out iu a few weeks and seems to have known what he was talking about. No wonder the people lose faith iu the courts. C hicago is having a reign of terror Each morning brings a fresh murder 1 or two or perhaps a halt dozen, the i thugs seem to be in control and the I conditions resemble what we have j heard for several years from Russia. It is just what will occur in numerous cities unless more effort is made to enforce not only the laws which officials like, but all of t them. If the laws are wrong, change them, but i while they are on the statute books, ' enforce them or expect the lawless element to control the country. Its serious.

WARNING ISSUED TO KITE FLIERS Indianapolis, March 31. —(INS) — A ; warning against the ancient appar-| ently harmless pastime of kite flying was broadcast here today, by the Indianapolis Safety Council following the narrow escape of several Indiana children and young men from electro-1 cgtion when strings attached to their . kites came into contact with high tension electric wires. The director of the council. Captain Harry M. Franklin, specifically I requested all parents to note the kind ; of cord their children use for kite | strings. Several Lafayette school children miraculously escaped death when the cord attached to their kite, of the metallic tinsel type usually used to tie Christmas packages, fell ! across two high tension wires carrying 11,000 volts. The wires were burned in two and ! the city was without electric current fir several hours. Electrical experts are unable to explain how the boys escaped injury, unless there was a long break in the tinsel somewhere along the cord. A similar accident occured at Purdue University recently, when some students were flying a kite for experimental purposes and were using a fine copper wire for a string. This line also came into contact with somehigh tension wires and burned them in two. The students however were protected by instillation from rtuy ser ious injury. Captain Franklin asked the teachers and parents throughout the state to warn the children against flying kites in territory where there are wires in the air, and above all else not to use cords containing any metal for kite strings. o *¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥* * THE GREAT WAR * * 10 YEARS AGO * ««¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥* German drive toward Amiens and effort to push out from the Montdidier salient as standstill..

PHYSICIANS GIVE RESULT OF NEW CANCER REMEDY Las Angeles. Los Angeles physicians described today beneficial results which they have observed through the treatment of cancer with a fluid discovered by Professor Robert A. Armstrong, a Los Angeles chemist, through hfc experiments with radium. Dr. Charles M. Tinney, of Hollywood formerly a major in the medical corps of the United States, said that he had personally seen the Armstrong fluid used in from 200 to 350 cancer cases. "Only the discoverer. Professor Arm strong knows all the ingredients of the fluid," Dr. Tinney said. "While 1 have used it with remarkable success in several instances, it is too soon to predict that it is a positive cure for cancer, and Professor Armstrong makes no such claims for it. Doctors Cautious "Physicians have learned to be very cautious in their acceptance cf canger cures but I can say without qualification that it looks like Professor Armstrong has come upon a remark able treatment. My qualifications, however, is that at least five year should elapse before we will know whether or not the Armstrong fluid is a cure for cancer. "Some months ago the husband of a

woman who was apparently dying oi cancer called on me for help My examination would have convinced me, under ordlanry eircumatancez, that treatment was useless. Her husband insisted that I do something for her. I gave her an Injection Tuesday, never expecting her to be alftc three or four days later. On Saturday, however, all pain had ceased, the patient was drinking milk artd even received a dozen or so friends to celebrate her birthday. "The Armstrong fluid Is usitallly given in three injections. 21 days npart. It is injected directly into th( veins. Additional affirmation of beneficial results came from Dr. Stanley Boiler, also of Hollywood. Effect of Remedy "A man came into my ‘office Dec. 19," said Dr Boiler, "and complained of chronic stomach ache, a typical cancer symptom. His face was yellow and he was unable to retain food. Ho hu-1 been using opiates to allay his suffering. "When we put him under the fluroscope he fainted. The pictures showed definite cancerous condition. I gave the patietn the Armstrong treatment in smaller doses than is customary. Within three days the stomach pains had gone and he was able to eat light food Withing two weeks the patient was back to work. Six weeks later we again used the fluroscope and the organs appeared normal. But. like other physicians who have used the Armstrong fluid in the treatment of cancer. 1 would not say positively that it is a cute. All I know is that iu one specific instance it gave

amazing results. Whether th. ” actually was cured will i,. „ tar time to answer." ‘ ’ — • j Farmer Uses Unique Method To Cover Un His Suicidal Actions Arba, Indiana, March 31 g..
