A SOLEMN DUTY:— it would be most unfortunate if the voters of Indiana overlooked the great state issue at the battle of ballots. I."t the voter in the booth remember the word “CORRUPTION'' and his vote will be determined, says the Marion lajader-Tribune. It will not be necessary for this self-same voter to recall all of the terrible reign of misgovernment one man could not hope to remember all of it —and he need not visualize the miserable darkness which infested the body politic. He need not, nor would he be expected, to remember all of the details of the startling revelations made by Thomas Adams, fighting republican editor from Vincennes. He might even overlook the details of the indictment by the grand jury of the j governor of Indiana, and of the fact ( that the trial was prevented by a technicality. Let him just recall the j whole mess and the incentive for him i to help redeem the state will be there. It will likely be impossible for him— ( the voter to forget the ex-dragon of the Ku Klux Klan, one D. C. Stephen 1 son, for this former high and mighty power is serving life sentence in tiie state ptison. and his pleading for an ( opportunity to tell more, claiming the capacity to make disclosures which will rock the earth. The Mjhole sordid story of the slate government, and the invisible powers behind ft, constitute the most sickening and humiliating chapter in the history of ' this grand old state. Already these same influences hope to continue in ( power through the favoritism of those candidates who are chosen in No- 1 vember. Frank Dailey of Bluffton, a 1 neighbor, federal prosecutor, fearless investigator, whose whole life has been an open book, champion of the people and foe of corruption and public tilth, is a candidate for governor, I He has said, if elected, his first, fore- ] most and constant aim, until the job is done, will be to rid Indiana of the invisible and ugly ami ominous in- ' fluences which have dominated the j state, anil have lowered its good and , illustrious name to the dust. Frank Dailey will rescue the banner of In- ' diana and will carry it, first, to the i bath house for a good scouring and ; then to the court house for its complete redemption. The people of Indiana have a solemn and grave re- 1 sponsibility. Their duty is not a < small one. Only by a stern rebuke can the forces of corruption and invisible government be crushed, and there is no place a better chance for * rebuke than at the ballot box. The forces of darkness, performing like a monster, must be completely crushed, lest they rise ' again and even more severely sting and blacken the state's good name. L'nless relief , comes soon, the scars of corruption will be so deep that they can never be erased. The hour has struck for the accounting. Let it be complete. The new Citizen’s telephone directory contains nearly Hired’ thousand names, proving the local plant a real one. It is, not only in that it keeps up to the times in improvements but because its central office sgive courteous service to its patrons. Thats something worth while and a thing we are likely to overlook in the rush of the general business of living. If we fail to get the quickest reply from central or we imagine some fault, we are all eager to register a complaint. How about the thousands of times we call central and get immediate and absolutely correct response? Wouldn’t it be fine if we occasionally said so? That what we are doing novt. If we have ever acted impatiently, we apologize for past and future slips of that kind. Its a good public utility, well managed and officered. Senator Watson does certainly manage to get something the matter .with him just at critical times. In the campaign two years ago he was

TODAY’S CHUCKLE Apptetoii. Wis. July 20 4U.R) While plowing, John Anheirer un covered a gold wedding ring he lost on his farm near here 25 years ago. in an automobile wreck which seal 1 him to the hospital .for two weeks just at the climax of the contest. This week he was deliver several pollt--1 leal addresses including one to the republican editors In session at West Baden. On the eve of his trip he got a cinder in his eye and now he is not able to appear. He will no doubt get in shape for the fall fireworks and will probably determine to be more careful of himself. Those two men who swindled an Adams county citizen out of several hundred dollars a year or so ago on the eye specialist game or two others working the same scheme have touched several farmers In western Ohio, the latest being near Hicksville, where, however the bank refused to cash the check.. Watch out for them if they appear and remember that you can have your eyes tested and treated by a dozen Adams county experts whom you know and can trust. Don't deal with strangers on such matters. Stephen Obregon, a relative of the late Mexican general who was assassinated, resides -in this county and when told of the murder of tile press dent-elect remarked, ‘‘Mexico is a fine country, but too much tight,” which is an apt and very clever way of putting it. No country which is continual revolution unless at war 41 th some other nation, can progress rapidly. It is a great country and one which should be developed by its citizens. When they «et at that and forget their fueds and -factious, they will quickly win a real place in the sun. Some Pennsylvania man has written Governor Smith and Chairman Raskob and ordered them to resign but they probably will not take it so seriously that they can't enjoy a good laugh at the nerve of this gent who thinks because he has lived in Pennsylvania and voted the democratic ticket he is the whole show, it did take nerve but he seems to have had plenty. More troubles for the Hooverites. Thomas P. Moffatt, who was one of the managers for Frank O. Lowden, former governor of Illinois, in his race for the presidential nomination, is out for Smith and there is strong intimation that Mr. Lowden himself will get on the band wagon and help convince the farmers that their best interests lie in the election of the New York governor as president. No wonder they have cut the straw vote program out. Its getting too one sided. Os course as we have said before, Old Home Week will be what we make it. The committees are doing every thing they can to prepare a big and an interesting program, but there will be many places to fill in. We hope every church, lodge and club in the city prepares a special event for former members, during the week. It won't interfere and we hope there is so much going on that the visitors will add adinit it is better than a three-ring circus. In the Houston convention but one member of the Alabama delegation voted for Smith. He did it above every threat and protest of his colleagues. Then they went home and just to show how queer is politics, that lone delegate of Smith's was made state chairman of the democratic party. Mr. Heflin should be notified. This is the time of year when a lot of don’ts can be used. Don't eat too much, don’t get mad. don't drink too s much, even of water; don’t over exers cise, don’t get excited, don't go in t swimming when you're hot, don’t dive , in shallow water and a thousand other don'ts. i- The sale season is at hand and the r Decatur stores are offering real Inti ducements for the shoppers in most s every line.
