The Indiana League of Home Dailies. The showers came a little late but they came as they always do. About the only good we have heard from the recent rains is that the cisterns are again filled. Wonder if the larger navy will have any effect on the shipments of liquor into this country one way or another. May come handy to protect such cargoes as are deserving of it. Some fellow has invented a gunsight business to steer his car by. He has evidently shot at some pedestrians and missed them an ddecided not to take any more chances. The youngster who went to Europe as a stowaway in the Zeppelin has returned home and is seeking an entrance into the movies or the vaudeville stage. So fat the offerings have not been so flattering. The republican papers don't seem to be able to quit celebrating the recent victory. They act like they were so badly scared that the results bu*‘ prised them as much as they did the democrats. The grand jury will meet next Monday. making it a very good time for those who are fearful, to take a little vacation. If they can't afford that, they can at least go rabbit hunting or otherwise make themselves scarce. Now every body is waiting to see how much of a house cleaning job Governor Harry Leslie will do. He said he would make a thorough job of it and now its up to him to make good his word or admit he was just ‘kidding" the voters. There is one resolution every one should make right now instead of waiting until New Years and that is that they will enter one of the saving clubs, thus assuring themselves of ample funds for the next Christmas rush. Sports writers are trying their best to get up a match between Dempsey and Tunney. Since the retirement of these two champions there is nothing

to excite the public sufficiently to provide a worth-while gate, so something has to be done. A savings club is not only a good thing because it causes many to provide ahead for funds but because it also teaches many to save who would otherwise not be thrifty. Plan to start one the first of the coming month. The old rule of the sea, women and children first, was a sad incident of the Vestris. Fifty women and children were placed in the first two life boats and those both collapsed before reaching the water. Every child and most of the women were lost. They have discovered that a bicycle makes its best speed when ridden just behind a motor car. We always had an idea a fellow would ride faster just ahead of a car, especially if the driver happens to be one of those wild Indians. —nsllw sWSfcwssBWBW Decatur offers more because it has more to offer and that's no idle boast.

Try buying your Christmas and your winter goods here and take advantage of the gift day opportunities. An Investigation of the recent terrible sea disaster is in progress land the true story of just what occurred and didn't occur, will eventually be given out. The captain of the illfated ship went down with it, remaining to the very last. Seems that the cicw did every thing that could be

; done but that evidently they did not I feiel the ship was in as bad a condi- . tion as it was. A lot ‘of democrats are beginning 1 to feel that since there seems to be so many desiring the old party to quit, they will be just as stubborn as ever and refuse. It would seem foolish to talk about a party with fifteen million voters not continuing. Facts are it would be impossible to prevent the party continuing and its our guess that you will be surprised at the strength shown in the very next campaign. Several eastern newspai>ers have turned their editorial columns over to the "voice of the people writers," of which each community Idas a number. It will be interesting for a while no doubt, but many people will also expect expression from the editor as well. However, it is an excellent policy to use both. We will be glad to publish opinions from any of our readers on the subjects of interest. Send them in. Democrats of Texas will never permit that state to go republican again, after the investigation by the congressional committee requested by Mr. Nelson of Maine. Serves them right for doing it this time but its a safe bet such a mistake won't be made by those southerners again. They have been running their own affaits and are not used to being told by Washington what they can do and can't do. Now they will know how it feels. Democrats gathering at Washington foi the opening of congress are optimistic, according to the news dispatches. Always that, they have nothing to get pessimistic about excepting the fact that they got walloped again. There were fifteen million votes cast for Governor Smith, more than were ever received by any democratic candidate and sufficient to win ordinarily. They will fight just as hard in the future as they have in the past and they will have considerable fun fighting the bosses of congress when they feel they need it.

Much fun is being cast at George Peek and his committee because of the poor showing made by the farmers in the landslide election but its hardly fair. It you will study the returns in this county you will find that the rural communities did vote for Governor Smith. While there were no doubt some democrats who flopped, there is likewise no doubt that several hundred republican farmers in this county voted for Smith. Look at the vote in Pine Creek, Kirkland, Jefferson, Wabash, Hartford, Middle Monroe and the north townships and you can quickly convince yourself. The heavy losses were in the towns. 0 «««***«e94s«** ♦ TWENTY YEARS AGO * ♦ From the Dally Democrat File < ♦ Twenty Years Ayo Today • Nov. 16 —Marriage license—Winifred J.
