The Fort Wayne News-Sentinel is charging Senator watson with being a bluffer and a "lovable old hum bug.” Bet if he should accidentally get the nomination for president on the republican ticket, they would speak of him as a grand o d statesman. Better be getting your orders in for your painting and papering for the spring clean up. Its time to be thinking about that and if you put it off and every body want it at the same time, a lot of folks are going to be held back. Hight now is the time. It is not likely that President Coolidge relishes the efforts of “Big Bill" Thompson of Chicago, to force the election of delegates for him. The president has on several occasions let it be known that he does not wish to be a candidate and if he did it is possible he would prefer to have his support come from some other quarters and some other leader. Members of the finance committee for Old Home Week are out today on a campaign to raise sufficient funds so give such an event and give it right. There Is much argument in favor of it but why repeat 'it? You have heard it and know it and now its up to you as a business man here. If you wish to have such an affair, you now have the opportunity to say so in the only way that counts. The Easter season is at hand and this is one of the important weeks of the year. It is the occasion for special services in the churches, it Inarks the closing of the Lenten Season, it is the occasion for preparing for spring time, it is the particular time of the year when every one is looking for announcements from the merchants which will aid them I to dress just right for the occasion. | Watch the column sos the Daily Democrat. Welcome back home, Rev. Stoakes. We Like your smile and your warm hand shake and your cooperation, we admire your services both in and out of the church to make this a better community in which to live. We are sure that every one here and especially the members of the First Methodist church are genuinely glad that you are to continue to be a resident of and a worker in Decatur. May the coming year be the best of your successful career. The cofamunity is in sorrow because of tlie death of Dr. Ben Beavers, one of the younger practising physicians of the city, splendidly educated, successful in his profession, popular among his acquaintances and of fine charccter. Our sincerest sympathies are extended to the father who had been also a close companion to his son who was following his footsteps -in the medical profession and to the 'other relatives. Dr. Beavers will be greatly missed by the many who knew •Ills read worth. Authorities in Washington declare "that the deaths of President Harding, William Jennings Bryan and Senator Willis was caused by over-eating. Ail -three of these men were known for their enormous appetites for good.

good things to eat and plenty of it, while Wayne B. Wheeler, general superintendent of the Antl-Saloon league, died because he starved himself, trying to keep from getting heavy. There is such a thing as eating too much or too little, it seems, and It applies particularly to those of middle life. The action taken here yesterday by the township trustees to refrain from re-employing teachers who have taught five consecutive years in the same township, is the same as was taken last year by trustees in many of the counties of the state. The legislature of 1927 passed a law providing that when teachers are thus

employed for the fifth year, they cannot be discharged except by action of the board of education and for cause. As was stated at that time, i the law is sure to work hardships on many and we doubt very much that it can result in great benefit to the school system. D. C. Stephenson declares under oath that under his administration as dragon the klan committeed many crimes. Men were flogged and otherwise punished, churches were burned and the reputation of numerous public men ruined by concocted plans in which women employed for the purpose figured. And there are those who think he is being too severely punished. Stephenson's deposition was taken in the Michigan City prison yesterday for use in a case in Pennsylvania. The “old man” said that Indiana had 315,000 members at one time, that Ohio had 350,000, I Pennsylvania 300,000 and Illinois and Michigan each about that number. Politics is sizzLing, about as much among the Republicans as in the Democratic ranks, which, ah me! is hot enough. The entrance of Mr. Hoover into Indiana promises a real i battle, with the present outlook in- 1 dicating that Senator Watson will I capture the majority of the delegates,' and under the Indiana law vote them , all in the convention. I certainly think the time has come to change ! administrations and while 1 don't ’ favor the election of either Hoover' or Watson, I will say this to the vot-; ers of Indiana, that if the very effective publicity and methods being employed by Mr. Hoover have influenced them to regard him with superstitious ' veneration, it is time they enSghten-j ed themselves. He is perhaps the most vulnerable candidate the Re- , publicans could name. If the Demo-1 crats have a chance to beat anybody, that man is Hoover. But I don't ■ think he will come anyway near being nominated. —W. D.
