I Perhaps the insurance will help meet the campaign deficit. it won’t be long now until the Indiana legislature convenes and bills to cure everything will be offered, some of them converted into laws and few of those enforced. ■ Fifteen or twenty thousand floaters were brought from Chicago to Lake county to vote, it is claimed, explaining wlty the pre-election polls did not have much to do with the results. it’s hard to swallow a defeat but it s likewise useless to carry a feeling of revenge around with you. Forget it and start smiling. The world is alright if we don’t get too far out of tune. An imposter who fooled a lot of) Chicago society women and took their bank rolls has been caught and will have to pay for it with a prison sentence. The world grows better every once in a while. Al Smith and Frank Dailey will be able to earn good livlihoods, we predict. They are regular fellows, each j having plenty of ability ami the public "muffed'’ the opportunity to employ them for less than they are worth. They tell us that in the next national campaign, 1932, it will be possible not only to hear the candidates but to see them iti action. It will be fine to sit in the parlor and listen to them and watch their gestures hut it will prevent the old fashioned rally from being a success. It is officially announced that if Mr. Mellon remains as secretary of the treasury, he will retain the same enforcement officers and that we will have the same kind of prohibition we have been having. Guess that’s what the twenty million voted for. This is' certainly no time to complain. Two more indictments against Marion county officials. Paul Dunn and Grant Moore have been charged with perjury and violating a statute of selling to the county. Sounds quite natural and we wonder how long, oh how long, must this be endured and approved. The Evening Star festival four days next week under the auspices of the Lions club will bring to the people of this community four evenings of clean amusement and delight. The program is as good as was ever staged here and the price for season tickets is but a dollar fifty. You just can’t afford to miss it. Governor Alfred E. Smith of New York, defeated democratic candidate for the presidency, will talk to the American people over a network of radios next Tuesday night and while we haven’t any idea what he will say, we are sure it will be worth hearing. Tune in, its perfectly safe, he won't ask you to vote for him. Ten years ago tomorrow the Armistice was signed, marking the close of the. World war. It was one of the important events in all history and

They say the democratic party is wrecked and will never come back, but don't worry. When the time and the necessity comes the old party will lie fighting as usual. We have heard that same thing frequently and we reijiember that in 1912 when the republicans carried but two states in

Among the few democrats who will attend the 1929 session of the Indiana legislature will be M. McStoops. i formerly of this city. He was elected from Pike and Knox counties and will be one of the honest-to-goodness representatives of the people in the coming session. It will keep him busy watching the big bunch on the other side of the house but he will do his best and will report back to his people in good fashion. Lemuel F.

There must be some other reason for the Smith defeat. A change of 430,000 votes properly distributed would have elected Al i Smith president. That number of votes taken from Hoover and placed to Smith's credit would have carried ■ Texas, Florida, North Carolina, Virginia. North Carolina. New York, Con- , necticut, Missouri, Nevada, North Dakota, Wisconsin, Tennessee, Montana and New Hampshire. Figure it your- . self and then you will realize that it's not such a jump from being badly beaten to heading the march of victory. This presidential contest was mainly a radio campaign. It was a great , thing for the people everywhere to be able to hear the candidates and (heir notable supporters discussing the issues. There was a thrill in catching the tones of the speakers' voices, over thousands of miles, and ■’getting by ear the spirit of their audiences. The campaign was alive in a sense that no previous campaign has been. The nation plunged into a new political era of closer contact between statesmen' and voters. Yet something was mising. The candidates were invisible. And a voice out of the,void is but half a speaker. Soon we shall have the other half. Present developments seem to give assurance that in the next presidential election the whole nation will not only hear the candidates, but see them delivering their speeches, get the expression of the face, the flash of the eye, the attitude and gesture that carry home the words. Then the nation will feel that it really knows the men who want to manage their country for them National politics will be no longer aloof, but intimate and personal. o Indiana To Have Three .

NOTES i —by— ROBERT HELLER Miss Madge McCoy spoke at 8:15 o’clock, yesterday morning, explaining the program of the Lions Club' Evening Star Festival, of which she is director. She s'tated that the price of season tickets tor high school pupils is only one dollar and that she hoped the high school would help her boost the festival. Between the hours of 10 and 11 p'clock. through the courtesy of a local electric store who furnished the radio, the pupils were privileged to hear Walter J. Damrosch. director of the New York Symphony orchestra, explain the organization of the modern opera. The subject of the first 1 half of the program was the over-

Nov. 10, 1928 DEAR FRIENDS: I was reading last night where a lady was burned to death. She was cleaning some clothes in the basement, using gasoline. An explosion resulted and she lost her life. If there are any ladies in Decatur who make a practice of home cleaning, I certainly would advise that they do it in the open air. Even then it's dangerous. The bdss is absolutely hard boiled on that phase of the cleaning business. He doesn't allow anybody to take chances around the plant. Personally; I think it is poor economy to attempt dry cleaning at home. Without modern equipment, it isn't safe. BEN ZEEN. DECATUR LAUNDRY “The Farr Way”
