If you renew your subscription to the Daily Democrat now you help us and will feel better the whole year through. According to David Lawrence, the correspondent. Mr. Hoover came back from his South American trip with (lie “geniality of youth.” He perhaps found the long searched for fountain down there under the equator. With Chicago, New York and Fort Wayne all cleaned up we will now hear from St. Louis, New Orleans and some of the other cities which have been lost in the shuffle but in which we understand there is an occasional fracture of the Volstead laws. Will It. Wood is opposed to the Indiana primary law. Well, now the legislature can go ahead and repeal it. If its such a terrible law there is nothing we know of to prevent the republicans from knocking it off the statute books. They certainly have the control of the law-making bodies and plenty of bosses. It's just up to them. Bi 1 Russell, chief of police in Chicago, put on a little weekend roundup which surprised the world as well as the gangsters of that widely reputed city of crime. When it was all complete, the finger prints taken and the names recorded, it was discovered that more than 3,501) men were in Hie toils of the law. The chief seems to have done his part and now if the courts will cooperate, you may begin to feel that the promised reform is really and truly in progress. Six mi'lion dollars a year is needed in order to give the state the improved roads the people in every county are demanding, according to the members of the highway commission and otlters interested. Now if we can have it without feeling it. every thing will be Ime, Various plans have been suggested anil a powerful lobby will help put the 'eglslatioii through but just bow is a question still to be decided upon by the members of the legislature. Agitation again tor a constitutional convention in Indiana. This has been tried several times but always has lost. Now the boys think that when about every thing else cun be put over is a good lime to linker with the old 1*32 document. While there is no doubt i’laf some of the provisions of the old constitution are obsolete, we doubt whether with the isms and selfish desires of today. It will be improved and om e “busted'' In radical Indiana, look out. ?»" in i ■■ a.

else taken there prolongs life, makes one feel better and enhances the pleasures of living. The owners of the club deserve the earnest cooperation of the members and there should be an effort to work with them iu the manner best for all concerned. One of the problems and a more serious one than you perhaps imagine is what the rural sections will do soon for doctors who are very necessary at times. In 1906 there were 33,00 t) practising physicians iu towns of 1,000 or less. Now that number has dwindled to about 25,000 and in most places a doctor does not remain long if he locates there. From seven to ten years is now necessary to prepare for the profession and the average graduate ready to practise begins a career as a specialist which necessarily takes him to the larger cities. It is a problem now and many fear it will become more of a one as time goes on.

The cold, matter-of-fact twentieth century is rapidly developing into the greatest ago of dreamers the world has ever seen. Lord Birkenhead, one of England's best known and most conservative statesmen, predicts in the February Cosmopolitan that 100 years from now Hie following conditions will prevail: Men will work only two hours a day. We will all live to be 150. Science will make all climates perfect. AU epidemic diseases will have been wiped out. These are startling predictions. Never before could a man of standing have uttered them without being laughed out of court. Today we may doubt if all these things come to pass; but you’ll notice that no one will get up and say definitely that they're impossible. A slate senator will introduce a bill making banditry a first degree crime punishable by electrocution. And why not? The modern bandit, including bank robbers and hijackers, carefully plan every one of their crimes. They check up on the carriers of pay rolls, learn the day on which money will be carried to a factory, as well as the hour, if this is not premeditation, what is it? If this is not deliberateness of action, what is it? Not only is there forethought, deliberation, direct planning for all phases of banditry, but the bandits never fail to take advantage of their victims, never giving them a chance or an opportunity for defense, in addition, they are prepared witli ail the accessories necessary for the commitment of their planned crime, and in addition to all this, they not only go armed witli revolvers, but also with saw-ed-off shot guns, one of the deadliest of all weapons at short range. Why there should lie any sympathy for law violators of (hat class is hard to understand. They would murder on Hie instant if interfered with. They have murder iu their hearts. A law making banditry a first degree offense is not out of place.—Shelbyville Republican.

FRANCE DELAYS RATIFYING ITS DEBT ACCORDS London And Washington Agreements Await Reparrations Settlement By Ralph Halogen (United Press Staff Correspondent) Paris, Jan. 22—(UP)—The projects for the ratification by the Drench Par liament of the London and Washington debt accords, which were put on the bureau of the Chamber of Deputies last June by M. Poincare and M. Brland, without blare of trumpets, now appear definitely to have been sidetracked again. France, in all probability will do nothing more about her British and American debts until she knows where she stands on the question of German reparations. .The IViincare-Briand projects are simply maneuvers to keep alive the tentative Caillaux-Churchil! and Mellon-Berenger debt accords. With the ending of each parliamentary session all bills left over or never reached because of the pressure of other business, are considered dead. To revive them, they must again be presented when a new parliament gathers. i Such was the case with the government's previous projects to ratify the two debt agreements. That was the only intention the two French statesmen ever had when they cut the project on the Chamber's desk. They probably never expected the Chamber finance commission to report out on the project's. Each is brief, containing an unique article, worded practically the same in each case. The project for ratifying the American can accord simply voices the approval of the French Parliament of tiie Wash ington agreement of April 29, 1926 whereby the French debt is consolidated into 62 payments. The Londbu agreement of July 12, 1926. i nsoli dates the Flench debt to Britain in the same number of payments. France owes, in all, to her two great creditors roughly seven and a quartet milliard dollars, but under the Dawes Plan France frob now n will receive 300,0000,000 dollars from Germany, an naully which will be about three times as much as she must pay her creditors The total of the French debt to England is 653,127,900 pounds and to the United States $4,076,547,372.19.

KONJOLASTOPS RHEUMATISM THAT RULED FOR YEARS Kidney Trouble Also Banished Bv New Medicine—Terrible Pains At An End At Last - Jt . 7 IS MR. FRANK DRULEY “I am making a special effort to publicly tell what Konjola has done foi me, and how de ighted and surprised I am with the results,” said Mr. Frank Druley, Boston, Indiana, near Richmond. "For six. years I endured untold agonies with rheumatism and kidney trouble. Many a time i thought I could not stand another minute of the terrible pains in my neck, ahoulders and limbs. But what was I to do? My kidneys forced me to get up many times a night, n|y appetite tailed and lack of nourishment ami sleep sapped my strength. 1 was miserable all ovei, and thr .roughly discourage I. "1 began to sit up and take notice when I read so much about Konjola. Then it was tlint I made my decision to give this medicine a trial. First my stomach was toned up and my appetite returned. The kidney condition was overcome next, and then rheumatic pains became fainter and fainter. Today I am enjoying health that was a stranger to me for six years, and I owe this new existence to Konjola. I waul to add my praise to that from others who found in Konjola freedom from I heir miseries.” Konjola is sold in Decatur at Smith, Yager & Falk's drug store and by all the best druggists iu all towns throughout this entire vicinity.

MUSTY ALE 153 YEARS OLD IS STILL ON TAP Ancestors Os Lucky Swedish Couple Continue To Enjoy Birthright Upsalla, Sweden, Jan. 22 —(UP) A barrel of ale brewed in 1775 which Is still "going strong'' is stll on lap in the city of Upsala, north of Stockholm. In 1860 It was given as a wedding present to a young couple by the owner ot a nearby estate where it had been made nearly a hundred years earlier. Every third year, according to Instructions by the owner, thirty bottles are drawn ami an equal amount of socalled “Swedish ale" —a dark, strong drink purchasable in olden days was poured into the barrel. This concotion was allowed to brew for several weeks after which time the bunghole was closed and the barrel left undisturbed for ar. tiier three years. Thanks to this scientific method, the great grandchildren of the Upsala couple are still enjoying this drink which is now 153 years old. The barrel is. however, not the original one.
