its a mighty fine way to start the new year — paying up all bills —and starting with a clean sheet. The merchant needs his cash so he can pay his bills and continue his credit. Just time to get in one of the Christmas Savings chibs. Better try it. Thrift is the finest habit you can cultivate. Start one for each member in the family and teach them also to save the pennies. Au advertisement now being run in New York papers reads: “Airplane flights started at any hour for any desired destination. Return trips not guaranteed." Its the last part of the sentence that makes us hestitate about going some where from whence we cannot be guaranteed a return. Mr. Leslie is to get a regular start on his term as governor it appears. Suit for $50,000 damages was filed yesterday against Leslie and J. G'.enn Harris, the outgrowth of the refusal of Leslie as speaker to permit a petition to impeach Judge Collins of Indianapolis, to come before the last legislature. Let's all be Boy Scouts the coming year. You know a good Scout does a good turn every day. What if we all did that? Wouldn't this be a fine old world? Instead of trying to get even with some one, instead of trying to knock over the castle some other fellow is building, let’s all try to help him complete it. That means a good community and a happy people. Another year has rolled around, gee how they do fly now as we reach the late years of middle life. Its time to plan for the New Year and naturally our mind turns to the matter of renewing subscribers a> the Daily Democrat. For some twenty-five years we have been devoting our time during January and February to a renewal of the list and we are hoping it will be as good this year as in the past. A million and a quarter new cases of influenza were reported over the United States the past week and that many or more are recuperating from the ailment. There were more than two thousand deaths. If you think that it is just slight cold when it hits you, it is likely you will suffer bad results before you are completely cured. Andrew Jackson day. January Bth, will be observed by the democrats throughbut the state. Those who had an idea that the party wa/in a comatose state from the results of the blow in November, are mistaken. There will always be two great parties in action in this country and the democratic party will be one of them. It has survived many defeats and today is as strong in defeat as it would have been in victory.—Hartford City News. A man supposed to be penniless died at Goshen this week and beneath the floor of his old hut was found a tin box containing more than $6,000. How foolish? The house might have burned or robbers might have been invited by hearing that lie thus hoarded his money for they have away of discovering such things and besides his money loaned on mortgages or deposited in lime certificates in a bank

would nave earned something while serving the public. Just why do we need a state police organization? We have never heard just what the duties are but we believe they are just supposed to tell you when its time to get a new license or occasionally notice a car that has permitted the old plate to hang on. If they are to continue to draw salaries they ought to have some thing to do besides stand around and look pretty, but really couldn’t the couple of hundred thousand dollars a year they cost, be saved? Tax payers would appreciate it.

Please remove the cinders and ashes from the alley if there are any there and please don’t dump more there. The street commissioner requests it after numerous complaints from automobile and truck drivers who must use the alleys and find it difficult to get through them at present. Often nails in the cinder pile cause tire punctures and consequent harsh comments from owners and then its so much better to keep up the good appearances of the city and of course if we do that we must keep the alley ways clean as well as the front yard. Randolph county may not have as many democrats as some of the others but what they have work at it in season and out. Last evening they held their annual Woodrow Wilson celebration with a crowded house. Among the speakers were Mayor Slack of Indianapolis; R. Earl Peters, state chairman of Fort Wayne, and Mrs. Olive Belden Lewis and there was real enthusiasm, dispelling any thoughts you may have had that the old party of the people had slipped as as result of the recent disastrous defeat. About every body is busy this week taking the annual inventory and oth' erwise preparing for the necessary reports. In the old days when the average store keeper kept a crude set of books, he made trp his annual report to himself from his bank book and it was usually “all paid in and all paid out," the balance when there was one being his but now-a-days when Uncle Sam and the state have some things to say about what we do and how we do it, a more detailed report becomes necessary. There is one good thing that has come from the income tax law, it has made a lot of folks check up on their business and in many instances leaks have been discovered that can be stopped up. The state supreme court has ruled that the governor has not the power to pardon one whom they decide has been in contempt of that court and ordered Rev. Schumaker back to the penal farm to serve his sixty-day sentence previously imposed. Just before the recent election Rev. Schumaker announced he would go to the state farm but when he got there a pardon was waiting him. Attorney General Gilliom took the position that the governor had exceeded his authority and the court has now sustained him. Attorneys will file a writ of habeas corpus in federal court setting up the claim that since the term for which the anti-saloon head reported to serve his term, has expired, the sentence is void, it makes an interesting legal battle at least and citizens who don’t understand all of the ins and outs of state affairs in general will watch it with considerable interest. — o— - NOTICE I am leaving the city tomorrow, and my office will be closed until further notice.
