"Ring the Liberty Hill again" is the slogan of the democrats this year and

its high time. Whats a few burnt fingers to the average American boy as compared to making sufficient noise on the Fourth? Arthur Brisbane is handing out his usual advice to the democrats but everyone knows that he has about the same interest in the success of the democratic party as has Rev. Schumaker. to the Declaration of Independence which you are supposed to have reread yesterday, we are entitled to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” The only trouble is to get it. Cut the weeds. Don't let them get the best of you or they will be hard to handle. So far this year the city lias been kept in the best condition ever and many visitors here have spoken of the splendid appearances. Os course its a little warm. What do you expect this time of the year and what do you want? We need this weather for all the crops and there should be no complaining at least for a while. If we ever needed a good crop we need it this year. The first "brown derby" club has been organized in Indiana by the young democrats of Michigan City. There will probably be thousands of such organizations over the country by September Ist when the campaign is scheduled to open. The Fourth of July in Decatur was ideal for those who prefer quiet to the noise and turmoil of a c elebration. Hundreds sought excitement in other cities where celebrations were held, many enjoyed the holiday by resting at home while others went to lakes and parks. According to Dr. Work the republican campaign is to be made upon Hie tariff question while the farm relict problem and prohibition or enforcement will be subordinated. There 18 not much division of opinion on the tariff question but there is demand ! for something definite on both the other subjects. President Coolidge has promised to assist Mr. Hoover in his race for the presidency which indicates that the

backers of the secretary ot commerce ' are already badly frightened. They , will be more so before election day but here they'are shooting their ’ largest guns four months before the , battle day. I! we are to have an Old Home Week in September there is much to be done and It will require the earnest efforts of every citizen. Its only nine weeks off and in the meantime about all the details will have to be taken care of. Committees should be meeting every night for a week or two until every thing is arranged. The Fourth was marred by (be death by drowning of Walter Bodie, well known young man and a freshman In high school. A companion who prov- ...... . ... ... •.

ed his loyalty hy risking hfa Hfe in an effort to save bls comrade bad a narrow escape and tqas resuscitated after an hour or two of effort. The accident has caused great sorrow among a wide circle of relatives and I friends. ’ We urge you to read the democratic national platform for we feel that the average person will agree that It is i in every way a sane, sensible and i human document, to which you can

subscribe. It is of the Jeffersonian variety. It promises farm relief, has a tariff' plank that should please the business man and the manufacturer, stands for law enforcement and for restoring government to the people. It should be the document on which the laborer, farmer, business man and manufacturer can stand four square. Hickman, the fiend who murdered a chii<l in California months ago and was convicted and sentenced to death within a few weeks, who admitted not only guilt as to that crime but that he had committed other murders is still alive. Recently he almost murdered a cellmate in San Quentin prison,

certainly sufficient to call to mind that some one out in California dee serves criticism it not removal from J office. Speedy punishment according 1 to desserts is what such men as Hickman should have. s David Lawrence, well known pi,lit--1 ical correspondent, declares the con--1 test between Smith and Hoover is f now an even break. It must be so ■ when Lawrence says so for this is the first time he has expressed such a guess in years. Indications are 1 bright for a democratic victory un--1 surpassed in history and you may be surptised at the extent of territory 1 which eventually lines up in the ’ Smith and Robinson column. The east, the west and the south now look good and it is quite probable that before election day comes the middle 1 west will be included. i Home again—bag and baggage — ' from the great Houston convention, the editor is back on the job and glad of it. The weather here is mild compared to that in the far south but the days of perspiration were worth while for it was one of the geratest political conventions ever held. There was a desire to avoid mistakes, to get together, to write a platform that would meet the requirements of the present day and to nominate a ticket which can win. We believe this was done and that government will lie restored to the people and to their great advantage in many ways. We have heard often of the hospitality of the south but the past two weeks was our first real taste of it and we like it. From the time the Hoosiers landed in Houston until they left they were attended by members of the Houston Hoosier club, iieaded by Bob Cornell, a former Terre Haute newspaper man, later of the Naw York World for seven years and for seventeen years past a resident of Houston. Bob and his assistants made a real effort to extend the glad hand to the northerners and succeeded so well that everyone who partook of their friendliness, feel under lasting obligations. o * BIG FEATURES * * OF RADIO * S*¥¥¥*«**«**S< Thursday's Five Best Radio Features Copyright 1928 by UP
