If the reign of terror in Indianapolis keeps up, they might send up to Chicago and get some pointers from those who in a week have provided a very different atmosphere. There is one tiling to remember and that is that most of these fellows who are speaking against Governor Smith are getting paid for it one way or another. The Cleveland woman who won a rolling pin throwing contest has been signed for a vaudeville turn. Now they are looking for some man whose pate is trained to bounce them off while he smiles. There is one nice thing about Florida storms. They occur in the summer and consequently do not interfere with the northerners who wish to enjoy the play grounds of that country. Overruling nine objections from attorneys, Judge Edmunds of Los Angeles has finally sentenced William E. Hickman to hang at San Quentin prison on October 19th. Now if they can’t dig up something to stop it the country may soon quit worrying about this base fiend. Four weeks from now the old town will be all decorated up with flags and bunting and extra lights in preparation for Old Home Week. We are going to dress up for this occasion and every body is going to forget all their troubles and every thing else and have a fine old time. —“ An Englishman was kept in prison unjustly nineteen years. Proof of his innocence being finally established he was released and the government in an" effort to right the wrong done this man, gave him $30,000. In this country we don't even say we are sorry. Looks like we might gain a lesson from this. Boys should not take the Old Home Week cards and signs from the automobiles. These cost money and each time you take one off you are injuring the big event. None of you wish to do that, we are sure, you just haven't thought about it. Please boys, help to make the week the biggest and best ever held here. These signs are expensive and should be used for the purpose intended. They are printing the new dollar bills in Washington now and according to information every body's pockets are to be chuck full of them. They are a third smaller in dimensions but they are of the same value as before for its Uncle Sam’s signature that makes them good any way. They are of denominations from one dollar up to SIO,OOO and if its all the same to them they can send us down a truck load of tlie latter. We seriously doubt if Increased tariffs will aid the farmer in any way. If it will we're for it and so is everybody else, but so long as the price of wheat is fixed in Liverpool whats the difference what the tariff is. Each day now wheat is making a new low record and that in face of the fact that there has been a fifty per cent increase in the tariff. After the wheat is marketed the gamblers will run the price up and gain the

Its so unfair that it does seem to us there l> “ should be a sound and sensible way to ) see that the man who does the work ’ and produces the crop gets some of 5 that profit. There Is if we want to 1 do it. ) s-s— Nothing in the result of the Missouri primary that shows how that state will vote nationally in November though many republican newspapers i are declaring that because the democrats nominated Charles M. Hay for senator after Senator Reed had endorsed another man, that is proof that the state is against Smith. We wouldn’t advise you to bet any money 1 that way on that theory. There was a scrap over the candidacy of Hay and the people supported him. You should remember that Senator Reed has not been the most popular man in his state for some years and those who know believe Smith will have a good majority when the votes are counted in November. Every merchant in Decatur will want a space in the Old Home Week special edition to be published by the Daily Democrat, at least we hope you will. We propose to place one of these papers in each house in the county and many of them outside the county. It will be a paper containing much history of this county and city and many of them will be kept for years and referred to often. Its a good buy for you, its a fine thing for Old Home Week and the paper is being issued by us in order to give greater publicity to the big event scheduled here for the week of September 10th. Get your order and your copy in and help make it the best newspaper ever published in the city. Mr. Hoover is all ready for the surprise of his lite, to come at four o’clock this afternoon when he will be notified that he was nominated about two months ago for president by the republican party. As soon as he has recovered from the shock he will tell them whether or not he can accept. Since he has resigned as secretary of commerce, taken a fishing trip and has nothing to do it is quite probable he will do it. Arrangements have been made for a great crowd and it will be as such events always are, a big occasion, the first high spot of the autumn campaign. On the 22nd, Governor Smith will be notified, on the 18th, Senator Curtis will be told and on the 31st Senator Robinson’s meeting will be held. Immediately after Labor Day the campaign will start (n earnest and with the plans now being so carefully laid, there will be plenty doing the next two months. If there is anything Governor Smith is known to hate it is the agencies of vice. If there is anything for which he is noted it is the purity of his personal life. No one has dared to question that—not even Dr. Straton. No one has dared to doubt his incorruptibility in a period that has reeked with corruption in the public service—not even Dr. Straton concedes it. No public servant here, or anywhere, has accomplished more through social service legislation In the interest of more wholesome physical and moral conditions for women and children, and every Intelligent woman of all political persuasions here understands it. With such a record, after all these years, and with such a character, it is a shocking thing to find a minister of the Gospel standing in his pulpit to bear false witness through mere assertions and insinuations in the hope of conveying a different Impression to the public. —New York Evening World. — ——O"" — *««*«*****««* • THE GREAT WAR * • 10 YEARS AGO • V ««*V*¥**¥*** thousand prisoners. 500 guns, is latest total In Picardy.

My dear Sir: I am in receipt of your recent invitation to be present upon Gene Stratton-Porter Day, in connection with your “Old Home Week", and would indeed be glad to accept, f r I loved the work of your good woman. I can well remember taking "Freckles" into Hie woods with me when it first came out, and reading if aloud at night by the camp-fire. Perhaps because of that fact, "Freckles” has remained my favorite, and 1 go to it again. always with increasing delight. The proof of an author's quality is rereadableness. The fact that I "dip into” her books over and ever again, when tired and weary, is to my mind the best of assurance that they will live. Always here work is to me supremely satisfactory, exuding the aroma of God's out o’dcois. As pure and clean as His Open. So far removed is her work from the foul-smelling stuff most moderns put out, that they can't be mentioned in the same breath. America is proud cf her. and 1 am indeed glad to know that you are setting apart a day upon which to do her memory honor. I should be glad to accept your mest kind and flattering invitation, but if that is impossible, I bid you the blessing of the Open, Mrs. Porter’s own Out-o’Doors. Very truly O. W. Smith Angling editor Outdoor America. Editor's note: Hon. O. W. Smith is known all over America as "Out-doors" Smith. He is the author of numerous out door books among which are tThoreau the Poet Naturalist”; "Outdoor Wisconsin" etc. Winona Lake, Indiana. July 30th 1928. Secretary Old Home Week Decatur, Indiana. Dear Mr. Quinn:- Your invitation to “Old Home Week" received and greatly appreciated. Though not an Adams County boy I was born just across the line in Wells County, in Lancaster Township, nearly 75 years ago and : though I do not recall being in the !
