Re a booster help make Old Home Week a success, i’ay your share and do your part. Tex Rickard had to reduce the price of the cheap tickets to his fight from . five dollars down to three, which is some victory for the working man. Send the Daily Democrat to your friends during the next couple of months. They will be glad to read of the preparations for Old Home Week. It costs but one dollar for three months. Lets every one forget any feelings we may think we have and join in making this the best community in the world. Thats better for all of us than to be always hunting something to cause trouble. Senator Robert Owen of Oklahoma is out for Hoover, after three terms in the senate as a democrat. However, Senator Gore who flopped in 1920 is back on the firing line as a democrat. Looks like those two leaders just can’t agree, much to the injury of the democratic party of that state. Get set for Old Home Week. Paint the house, beautify the yards, see that the weeds are cut on the vacant lots, dress up the store fronts and windows, clean the lights, dress up. We are going to have company—plenty of it and we want them to see us at our best. Chicago is in the throes of a political upheaval that becomes more serious each day. Rill Thompson is sick, physically, financially and every 1 way. His machine has gone to pieces 1 and his appointees are resigning, the city is broke and reorganization is 1 necessary. They might get some ■ valuable pointers from Indianapolis. ' Plan to spend six days at the Decatur Old Home Week for each of them is to be a good one. Here they : are: Registration and “Howdy”; i Limberlost and Pageant; Farrtt, Dairy and Beet Day; Fraternal and Lodge i Day: Industrial; Mardi Gras and i ‘Good-bye.” There will be many 1 events, parades, pageant, fire works, i free attractions—a big show. i ———————— , A Lafayette man. who lives but . four squares from Harry G. Leslie, , republican candidate for governor, , dropped in today to tell us, they were . for Dailey over there, figuring he is > the best man for the important job j that should be done in Indiana just now. He predicts that Mr. Dailey will ( be elected by 150,000 or more, carrying every district in the state, which makes him the greatest optimist we have met so far in the campaign but we expect to find many of them before November. Tunney won the fight, Heeney got a terrible beating, the crowd was not up to hopes and expectations. Rickard loses about three hundred thousand dollars, the winner gets $625,000 and the loser SIOO,OOO. Thats the story briefly told. The only good thing we can see in it is that the government took twenty-five per cent of the gate receipts for taxes. Prize fighting is not a sport any more, its a big business proposition for the promoters and participants and the participants and the patrons are the

"auckar*." r The farmer who la looking for a way to make money should not overlook the opportunitlea right now in ■ beef cattie. In Detroit yesterday, W. ( ,1. Kamman paid $16.75 a hundred weight for fifteen Hereford*, the prop- ■ erty of Bishop, Hammond &. Jackson. That was the highest price paid on that market since the war and the ( cattle wore bought for the retail mar--1 ket. There is a scarcity of cattle [ which cannot possibly be made up tor i two years, it is declared by those ' who have kept In close contact with conditions. Those who will get cattle ready for market cannot help selling them at a profit, Is the opinion of many. Thomas H. Adams of the Vincennes Commercial attended the recent meeting of the Republican Editorial Association at West Baden. In an article headed: “The editors at West Baden, slim attendance and a serious mix-up on political issues — the governor’s impudence,” the veteran editor ridicules Senators Watson and Robinson, Governor Jackson, Harry Leslie, Henry Marshall and about every one else connected with it. He shows they are wrong on the farm question and made miserable mistakes by permitting Ed Jackson to “blow” about his administration. He adds: “The editors need help. The party has lost its leadership and we are getting all balled up. Leslie is going to need help.” Tom admits he can’t see any way to work out of it this campaign. "Where is the full dinner pail?” is a question asked by Basil Manly of the New York World, following announcement by Dr. Hubert Work that prosperity will be the campaign issue. Manly was sent out to find it. Naturally he went to New England, confident that the president would first start to fill the dinner pails in his own baliwick. So far Manly has failed utterly to find it. after a conference with business men, bankers, manufacturers, secretaries of Chambers of Commerce and other leaders. Instead he finds there has been a general decline since 1923 and that right now one man out of every four in the New England states is out of employment. He analyzes the situation and finds among other facts that the cotton industry is down fiftysix per cent and the shoe industry down forty-three per cent. They may have to hunt up some other issue if they are to get far in that section. A Detroit judge, having before him a man who had kept the neighbors awake through the night singing loudly at the open window of his home, has decided that any one has a perfect right to make all the noise he wishes at any hour of the night if in his own home, says the New York World. It is to be hoped that this Idea will not reach New York City. If It should, we may as well reconcile ourselves to sleepless nights. It would seem no more absurd that a man may disturb hi s neighbors throughout the night if in his own home than that he should be permitted to dress and undress before an open window with the lights turned on, if at home. There is such a thing as a nuisance, such a thing as a decent regard for the rights of others, which must be taken into consideration in cities where people have to live close together. Otherwise city life would become unbearable. If the Detroit warbler were to move next door to the judge who expressed such liberal views as to, his "rights” it would not be safe to appear before the same court again on a similar charge. A young woman in Chicago accepted a ride with a stranger in an automobile. The stranger ran into a taxi, wrecked the automobile and killed the young woman. “I only met her an hour ago” was nis excuse for hurrying away from the wreck and the girl. The car had been stolen and the girl was unknown. A fate like this may await any girl who becomes a companion to a stranger. If it is not such a fate it may be a worse one. Women must know by this time that the roads are Infested with bandits, automobile thieves and bootleggers. Enough has been published • I

about such gentry to inform every reader of the risk Involved in prnnt1 Iscuoltß antomoblling. Girls that have ’ become too heady to accept mother’s i advice, ought, if they are as wise ns they pretend to be. to have sense I enough to realize the danger in ac- . cepting advances from road strangers. There is this involved also. These strangers if they have evil purposes easily convert themselves into killers if it comes to a question of escape or arrest. We have had examples of them in Indianapolis and every community is Hable to the same experience, it may not be true, as a rule, that parents have abdicated and have turned over instruction In life lessons to children, but it is evident that young people who have assumed the responsibility, must realize the liabilities that go with Independence.
