Smith and Robinson. They make a great ticket, because both men are great men. Be careful on the Fourth of July if you want to recall a pleasant holiday the next day. It might sound old fashioned, bn' you'll feel better if you make it a "safe and sane Fourth." The London Tinies is more favorable to Hoover than it is to Smith. The reason is Governor Smith never lived in England. It must have drawn blood. Republican papers are still ranting over the keynote speech of Claude Bowers and want to impress upon their readers that they did not like It. Somehow we felt right along that they would not approve it. ~s y Sometime you may wonder why we keep on building more schools. Here’s the reason: There are 4,200,000 high school students in the United States, as compared with 5,700,000 for the rest of the world. Each year sees an increase in high school enrollment. ' because the boy and girl of today is not satisfied with the ordinary eighth ' grade education and wishes to seek ' learning in the higher branches taught ' in high schools. It's a good sign A timely warning for the Fourth of ’ July motorists: Fourteen persons were killed in Indiana in automobile accidents over the week-end and with good weather promised for the Fourth. 1 chances are that the holiday toil will ' reach a dozen or more, unless everyone is careful. When you start out remember, that the other fellow is also on the road and that you have ! to take into consideration the foolhardy stunts tried by other drivers. The national public debt on July first was $17,604,000,000, which is more than we have any idea about. Those are the figures given out by Secretary of the Treasury Mellon. During the year the debt was reduced about $800,000,000. The expenditures of the national government during the year were $3,644,000,000 while the receipts from taxes and collections amounted to $4,042,000,000, leaving a surplus of nearly four hundred million dollars, which was applied on the debt. Mr. Mellon also states that about five billion dollars worth of Liberty bonds will be refunded during the coming year, thus reducing the Interest charge. Invitations will be sent out to more than 2,000 persons, former residents Ut Decatur and Adams county, inviting them to attend the Old Home Week celebration in this city, September 10th to 15th. A program of wide entertainment is being arranged and the amusements to be furnished during the week will have an.appeal for everyone. It's time we get to work, help the committee, put out shoulders to the wheel and start things. Remember the 1912 Old Home Week? It was a huge success anc the 1928 event can be made a‘bigget . a • a.

TODAYJSCHUCKLE Monticello, Ind.. July 3—(U.K--Lightning struck an iron post at the home of Lewis Erdman, tore a *• wren house to pieces and left a ’• surpried bird setting unharmed on t the nest. and happier week if we all help and get the spirit. j —B—- ) Governor Smith Is one of the regu ’ lar old fashioned home-loving men. as » seldom found in public life today j He is the father of five children. three boys and two girls. The two daughters and one of the sons are married, making him the proud grandfather of three grandchildren. When asked if he was going to attend the I Houston convention last week, the governor remarked that he would be kept busy at home taking care of his grandchildren, who came to stay witli him while their father and mother went to Houston. New York papers feature several of the wholesome reunions he and his family enjoyed following their return from the south and it's delightful to read of the happy family ties existing in one of the most prominent families in the country. Al Smith Is a true American, typical old fashioned in his home life and through his courage and sincerity is admired and loved by millions. I The world has many heroes and unselfish men and recent events prove that their courage and sacrifice is equal to any made on the field of battle. Tlte flight of General Nobile to the North Pole has disclosed wonderful courage and love for mankind in several men. namely Captain Roald Amundsen, his Norwegian pilot and the Swedish Aviator Lundborg. Amundsen and his crew have probably given up their lives trying to Aviator Lundborg flew to the ice wastes where Nobile and his five men were stranded and rescued the noted general. Not content with saving the life of Nobile alone, Lundborg flew hack to the stranded men and in landing on the ice, wrecked his plane. He knew that if he failed to make his get away, he probably would die with the other men. but was willing to give his life in the attempt to save others. A Russian ice-cutter ship Is now making its way to the place where the handful of men are praying for help. As we read of these daring exploits, we are filled with admiration for the men who have thrown aside all thought of self and gone forth with the noble thought of helping others, probably at the cost of their own lives. Noble sacrifices have been made on the battlefields, but none more unselfish than the deeds perfo med by the explorers and aviators in the ice lands around the North Pole. By recognition of the protective principles in the tariff plank of their party platform, the democrats have eliminated the tariff issue in this campaign The only tariff question now between the two parties is how high or how low the customs duties shall be in order to make the principle effective. This removes a source of weakness in the democratic party in the eyes of industry and business. The Inception of this change dates back to the Underwood tariff bill in 1913, in which the difference in cost of production here and abroad was taken into consideration in every item in the schedules. It was Mr. Underwood, too, who began to talk about a “competitive tariff" instead of a “tariff for revenue only.’’ Undoubtedly the growth of industry in the southern states had a strong influence on the adoption of the protective principle. ‘ Side-tracking of the tariff issue will i enable the responsible leaders of the parties to conduct a campaign stresss ing the dominant questions of pro- - hibition and farm relief. Campaign f audiences will be partly relieved from ii the old-time spellbinder and his demod gogical tariff speech in which all the II imaginary ills of life will befall, ino eluding a ’cataclysm in nature, if his ir Ideas about the tariff are not sustaint ed. It may not be possible to supie press him entirely, but he will no id longer convince, anybody, if he ever irjdid. Thus the elimination of the tar-

TRANS-ATLANTIC AIRSEfIVICEIS | GERMANS'PUNS By Otto D. Tolischus. INS Staff Correspondent Beilin. — A regular trans-Atlantic airplane service for passengers and n W ii is to be instituted by the German Lufthansa before the end of tin year, if present plans materialize E’or this purpose, three flying yachts, able to carry a paying load of len ions for a non-stop flight of-. 5 miles, are' now being completed for hhe Lufthansa by the Rohrbach Metal 1 Airplane Building Co. of Berlin. These plans, guarded as a great secret heretofore, were admitted by Otto Julius Merkel, director of the Lufthansa. The Lufthansa is the big test Hlrtraffic company in the world; its airtraffic net Is as that of the rest of Europe combined. "Yes. if everything works out all i right, we hope to be able to make om j first trans-Atlantic flights in Novembler or December," Merkel said. Test Flights "The first flights, of course, «ill be largely test flights, hut the test will not he to see whether the planes can fly across the Atlantic. We'll know beforehand that they can. The test will lie whether they can start on schedule time, on the exact day and at the exact hour specified, irrespective of what the weather is. "For this is a commercial undertaking, not a flying stunt, and the first requirement of a commercial carrier is safety and regularity. These planes must guarantee both or we won't start them over the Atlantic at all. This guaranty must be produced in the test flights which will begin with the first of these boats over the Northsea next month.” The Lufthansa is known for its slogan "Safety First” and German accident statistics show that its planes are safer than any other transporta thm method. These three flying yachts—for that is what they are—will be the first real trans-Atlantic planes that will he more than mere flying gasoline tanks. They will be able to carry fifteen passengers, a crew of two pilots, one mechanic, one navigator and radio expert, and one cook, besides 6.000 liters of benzine and enough freight and mail to make up a total load of ten tons. The total flying weight of these yachts, fully loaded, will be nineteen tons, and with this weight they will be able to fly 2,500 miles without landI ing. But if they do have to land, they will be so constructed, according to the builders, that they can also land even on a rough sea, repair any engine trouble, and start off again. These flying yachts, called the

The speed of the airplanes is such that thedlfference in time will be only a few hours. Mail And Freight Hut even if the planes hold everything that they promise. Merkel said, the service will begin as an airmail and airfreight service only. • But we might take an occasional passenger as well." Merkel added.
