It was out of commission five or six days. No wonder a secret can't be kept any more. We have 18,500,000 telephones in this country amt they carry 60,000,000 messages flashed over them each day, according to estimates by the commerce department.

Time for securing your new license plates will be up Thursday of this week. After that time you take your •wn chances, the state department having ruled that they will not extend the limit. Better hurry. , Magistrates in New York City are sending violators of traffic laws to jail upon conviction for the second offense and it will work a lot better than a two dollar sticker which is the rule in most cities. About the only safe way to avoid accidents with your car these days is to keep it hitched in the garage. Os course you are safer if you drive carefully but even when pegging along at ten miles an hour you can hit a slippery place and land in the ditch. Hundreds have renewed their subscription to the Daily Democrat the past month and we feel the biggest part of the job is completed. However we want every one who receives the paper by main to do this within the next three or four weeks. Renew at once.

Whi'e Indiana is trying to become

bone dry, along they come with a proposed tax on home brew. How such a lax could be used to advantage without legalizing the manufacture of beer in the kitchen seems a little vague but. perhaps the wise legislature have a plan that will work. Special writers from Washington declare that President Coolidge will refuse to sign the $24,000,000 appropriation bill for prohibition enforcement and if he says he won't you may depend upon if as can be testified to by those who have spent several years on the farm relief measures. One twelfth of the. new year has become history. How about it'." Didi you resolute and did you keep them'.’ Are you striving hard to make this a better year for yourself and your community than last? If we will do a little pulliug. all in one direction, we can lift the load so much easier and travel so meh faster. A lot of people over in Illinois begin to realize how a candidate for the state legislature cotial afford to spend more money than his salary. Sixty legislators have been subpoened to tell the grand jury just why they have been drawing from MOO to SSOO a month from the Chicago sanitary district. The chief reason probably is that they needed the money and could get it. Chicago Is cleaning up and officials there claim that most of the leaders who have been terrorizing the folks huve left the city. At the same time come reports front Detroit and otiier cities that indicate they are losing no

TODAY’S CHUCKLE London —iUP)—There is danger in prevailing light-fitting hat fashion for women as It might lead to baldness, according to Dr. K. King Brown, mudlcal officer of Bermondsey. Loudon. w—time in organizing them. It would surely be easier and wiser to stop I them now before these cities gain tiie reputation which Chicago held several years. There is a fear among the sport writers that since the death of Tex Rickard, the fight game will slip back to where is was in the old days. Much is said about the uplift given the sport by Rickard and judged by the raise in prices there may be something to it. However about the only real boost seems to have been the increase of prices for ringside seats from five dollars to forty. If that helped It, much credit is due some one, but really improving the "pug” sport to the degree of a parlor entertainment can probably be handled by Dempsey as well as Rickard.

A campaign is on in Washington again to take care of the ex-presidents and it is being urged that the constitution be amended so that a president ’retiring, automatically becomes a United States senator from the state from which he was elected. That would “bust - ’ things up some, giving such a state three or more senators. Why not put them in the cabinet? Truth is that the average fellow who retires from the presidency these days doesn’t need any taking care of. His $75,000 per year plus expenses and most of his living, permits him to save sufficient real money to be independent.

A girl of only 13 years was assaulted by two young men in a bootlegging liquor den in Chicago, a few days ago. It was proved in court that the proprietor of this joint and his wife had been giving the child liquor before the assault occurred. The two young men were held to the grand jury in bonds of $2,500 each, and it remains to be seen whether the bonds will hold, and whether justice will finally be done, in case they are brought to trial. As tor the bootlegger and his wife, who were almost equally guilty with the young men, through getting the girl under the influence of liquor, the magistrate let them off with a flue of sllO and costs. Could there have been a greater mockery of justice than this mere pittance of a fine as the only penalty for such an offense?
