A Kentucky woman killed a lady friend with an ax. The hatchet was probably dull. Its the time of year when the turkey hen who didn't start reducing a few weeks ago now realizes her mistake. About every body is being mentioned for places in the Hoover cabinet, excepting Fall. Sinclair, Daugherty and a few other "ducks.” Seats on the stock exchange are now selling at $525,000 per and we have decided to wait a while before we invest in any such wickerware. Better look around a little and kind of get your eye on the old snow shovel. Friend wife may need it one of these mornings and it will be nice for you to have it ready for her. The prohibition enforcement officers are sending broadcast warnings to beware of the holiday flood of bootleg liquor "of almost certainly dangerous quality." That can't he, we have just voted that the country is dry. Some one has jokingly said that President Coolidge will be invited to join the movies. lie might do for certain parts in the films but he surely never will be able to get a job in the "talkies." "The warship on which Mr. Hoover sailed, carried a full cargo of supplies,” says a news story. Just what do they mean by "supplies’’ that makes it unusual enough for a story? Perhaps it was the doves of peace. They ought to make mince meat out of that Omaha demon who has murdered a number of people, evidently just for a thrill. Some one should invent a sensation for these thrill hunters that will make them shiver a hundred years. Several men and women are planning to hop accross the Atlantic next spring. That gives them several months to worry about it. Seems so silly to us since the novelty is over and there are so many other ways to "bust” into the movies. Chicago gills are pulling a new racketeer game. They wait at a corner until some man pick ■■ “her” up and takes her on her way hope. The next day he gets a notice that a $20.00 bill will keep his girl from speaking of the ride to the wife and some times they get it. lowa will spend a hundred million dollars on roads, the people having voted that improvement in the recent election. The state is one of the greatest agricultural states in the union and the argument was that it is no use to raise so much corn, cabbage and pigs unless they can be taken to market. New Castle is excited over the appearance there of several strangers recently, who solicited money from chftrch people on various grounds. The Ministerial Association has asked people to call the Chamber of Commerce there before giving so that a check-up can be made to ascertain whether the solicitors are fakirs or not.

TODAY’S CHUCKLE Gary, Ind., Nov. 22- XUR)— Election results meant a full wardrobe for Mayor Williams He won eleven hats, four suits of clothes and two overcoats. Fort Wayne Methodists are planning to build a million dollar church. The Wayne and the First churches will be consolidated. It is announced that the new editace will be of real city style, located In the busiest business district with store buildings on the first floor and club rooms and auditorium in the building. It may startle you at first thought but after all it seems the churches must keep up with all other lines of endeavor in progressiveness. Senator Borah is returning the eight thousand he raised in his efforts to return to Harry Sinclair the $160,000 he gave the republican committee. He announces that he hopes the national committee will return the Sinclair funds but that is perhaps just a hope Any way the senator is desirous of getting it off his mind since he finds the people don't care much about where the committee gets the money to operate a campaign, just so they get it. Automatic flashers at the railroad crossings instead of gates or watchmen seem to be coming whether we like them or not. The signals have some advantages, one of which is that they operate twenty-four hours a day and on Sundays. In so many instances the crossings have no guards after seven o’clock in the evening and autoists who get used to seeing th? flagmen at these points often forget the time and take serious chances. Where watchmen are required it will soon be necessary to have them on duty twenty-four hours a day. You would never have picked Lionel I,’corice, quartermaster of the unfortunate liner, the Vestris, as a hero, but as things proved out, he was nothing else but. When the good ship sank, Lionel, black as the ace of spades, leaped into the ocean. He bobbed up and saw an eippty life boat floating near. He swam to it, picked up a pair of oars, then drifting about dived out sixteen times, returning each time with a human body which he placed in the boat. Then he kept the boat going ror twenty-four hours until the entire outfit was rescued. He should be recognized as a man of worth for he is. Chicago saloons operated especially for school children are being raided following the death of an eighteen-year-old boy and it developes that dozens of such places have been going there for some time. Can you imagine youngsters in their teens drinking regularly? Can you imagine any man or woman so low as to sell innocent children the rat poison nowobtainable? Do you wonder that people are losing faith in their country and its laws when in city after city such things are being uncovered? Don’t believe that the cleaning up is any where near its end if it is to be successful. It hasn't started in earnest yet and when it does it will take years of hard work to control it. Out of the recent campaign there has emerged in several states a feeling on the part of political managers of all parties that the primary system of selecting candidates for public office is not quite all that was expected of it when it was generally adopted several years ago. There is a conviction that there is too much expense attached to the plan and that the type of public official evolved by its working is not althogether .satisfactory. That he cannot be truly representative is a fact that cannot be disputed, if for no other reason than that a poor man cauont become an aspirant tor some of the higher offices for which candidates are selected in primaries. The expense is too great and there is no public fund upon which to draw in most states fol the primary costs. Private fortunes must be available, or else the aspirant must have friends who gre able

Ito finance his campaign. That conI tingency opens the way to all sorts of pre-election promises that may 1 greatly hamper the man elected to office. With all its drawbacks the old style state convention, modeled on the lines of the national nominating convention, is regarded as preferable to primaries as they have been conducted in some states of late. It is rather more than probable that the convention system will be resorted to ' In the south in an effort to reorganize the shattered lines of the Democratic 1 party in the manner least calculated to provoke additional bitterness. Under the primary laws it would be possible to exclude from the next elections called to name candidates for office all persons who voted against the presidential nominees this year. It is not desired to do that. The best way to avoid it is to hold state conventions. But there are other reasons for reversion to that style of making nominations. After the experience of several states with graft in primaries there is a decided feeling on the part of the public that they are not wholly ideal after all. - o • TWENTY YEARS AGO * * From the Dally Democrat File ♦ * Twenty Years Ago Tod»y » ♦ ♦*♦*¥*»*•♦»•* Nov. 22. 1308 was Sunday. o Wonderful New Picture Coming To Adams Theatre “What is to blame for juvenile delinquency? Who is responsible for the conditions that exist today among girls or boys of high school age? It is the lack ct proper parental superivsion ind teaching, the habits of the parants themselves, prohibition, or innate rottenness in the human lace? “THE ROAD TO RUIN" answers these questions in a frank discussion of the problem so eften the subject of sermons Hid educational articles. The picture was made under the personal supervision of Captain Leo W. Marden of i'he Los Angeles Juvenile Bureau 1 . Hid the plot was taken from an actual rase that came t'J his attention. • A .eview cf the picture was shown ast Thursday morning at The Lyric o a select audience of representatives >f the Mothers Club, The Woman’s Club. Teachers, Ministers and Doctors, ind it was the consensus of pinion hat the picture would lie a greater moral lesson to the young as well as to their parents than any sermon ever preached” This picture will be shown in Decatur at The Adams Theatre Monday and Tuesday Nov. 26th and .’7th, the Management stated. Aside from tlie moral the picture itself is attractive. absorbing and entertaining and from the production angle is firstclass. Mothers sh uld take their daughters, fathers their sons, or maybe laughter should take her mother, an I ron his father. If the lesson is not aecded the picture will be enjoyed with nj fear of indecency. There is humor, beauty, young love as well as pathos, tragedy and a great moral. Advt ——. Vincennes. Ind..

K XXXXXXXXX X X X X X X X X The Election To the Editor of Decatur Daily Democrat: The Hamiltonian Republicans ' have ruled this country for more than fifty years. So what ever the c ttdition may be in the United States the cause lies right at their door. What a spit it of egotism Is shown by those who predicted that the country would go to ruin if we elected a Democrat as our President. We have had but five Democrat Presidents but they were all very able men. With prohibition a failure under Republican rule for the past eight years, h w could they predict what It would be under Democratic rule. When Parkes Cadman of New Yolk was ask ed as to who would be the best man for President ot the United States he did not mention Herbert H over but first named Owen O. Young. The country would surely be as safe in the hands of an able Democrat and just as safe in the hands of a Catholic like Alfred E. Smith as it ever could be in the hands of any one the Republicans might elect. We mingle socially in business in the business world with Catholics. with people of all religious deli, initiations and never stop to question each other concerning their religion. Then why should so much have been said about Alfred E. Smith. Il was simply done to defeat him. A party that wins the election, through untruths, misrepresentating anything to win need not feel so very hilarious ovei its victory. Through the real truth of Alfred E. Smith’s life was covered with falsehood by many. I would rather be in his place than to stand with falsefiers.
