You wi l ueed some of it between now and the May flay. The legislature is evidently "hardnosed." Senator HaitzeLTs lite or death bill for bandits passed the senate yesterday, thirty-eight to nine. Wonder when they get the Methodists and Presbyterians combined, a movement for which is now on, it is announced, whether they will call themselves M. P.’s of P. M.s. Florida has come back. President Coolidge, Mr. Hoover. Al Smith, Sharkey, Stribling and others of varied fame are playing golf, fishing and otherwise enjoying the world s greatest play ground. The real winter is not so bad when we got used to it. This was groundhog day which is just about the middle of the zero period, but every one had their heads up and felt better than they did a week ago when we were enjoying sleet and rain. If some fellow with a little capitol would build a modern apartment house in Decatur be would meet a demand and earn a good return on his investmeut. Its waiting here for some one with the nerve to do it. The $24,000,000 bill for additional funds to enforce prohibition will be "killed off. ’ Could it be that some of those who have really claimed to be bone dry, shudder at the thought of not being able to find “a little drap for the mornin'? ” i A >150,000 governor's mansion might 1 1 be alright but it has been a long time since any Hoosier who became governor moved from a habitation costing ( any such amount. We fear it would worry the average fellow who leaves 1 an SB,OOO or SIO,OOO home to wander around in such a palace. Renew the Daily Democrat. We ( are striving every minute of every day to give you the news and to boost Adams county. Your support will help us to do that. We are anxious to close our campaign with this month. A story from Portland declares that while drilling for oil on a farm in Wabash township. Jay county, a well of 100-proof whiskey was struck and that it flows from the well by the barrel. When that is substantiated the rush will be greater than the Klondyke opening and it will take the sober services of a standing army to guard it. % — According to reports from the local automobile license bureau there are about nine hundred owners of cars who have not yet secured 1929 plates. Os course as long as you keep the car in the garage you are safe but. if you attempt to drive it, you are taking chances. The orders are to arrest those who do, so don't put yourself and the officers in the bole by trying it. Kendallville voted for the continuance of Sunday picture shows by a vote of a thousand to five hundred or two to one and the council will repeal the ordinance supposed to pre-

’ TODAY’S CHUCKLE Evansville, Ind., —(UP) —After ; wind had blown down wires the following telephone call came to the office of the Southern Indiana Gai and Electric Company: ‘‘How do you expect us to operate our still without lights?” vent them operating. Os course that's what they should do for after all the people are the government and the majority desire should control as It is bound to do any way iu the final analysis. Governor Leslie's idea that criminals, especially those who carry guns, do not deserve leniency under ordinary circumstances, seems to be taking hold. The pardon board turned down sixty-six pleas for clemency i and did not allow a one. When the | criminal knows he may not expect to I get off with less than thß penalty Imposed upon him he is much more likely to route his trips around the state instead of through it. — It must be rather embarrassing to ; Senator Watson, Senator Robinson, i Postmaster General New, Oscar Foel-1 linger aud a few others to hear that . foxy old James P. Goodrich is one of | those few permitted to go fishing with ’ President-elect Hoover. According to ' dispatches the astute politician is | now helping land the sail fish off Miami, which of course gives him .a 1 great opportunity to get confidential. The boys would give a good deal to ' know just what he is saying and ! whether he is boosting any one but Jim. Welk you can't blame him. I = Boyd Gurley, fighting editor of the! Indianapolis Times who has done much to redeem the good name of Indiana by exposing wrong doing, graft and corruption among state of-J ftcials, who won the Pulitzer prize for | his paper and who is one of the keenest men of the Scripps-Howard news- j paper organization, will give the commencement address here on the evening of May 24th.
