Governor Leslie has signed the $55,000,000 appropriation bill which makes it quite necessary that he sign all bills designed to raise the money with which to meet this huge sum. The announcement hat the lid will be plated down more tightly from Washington has tended to maks whiskey, gin ami champaign harder to get. Even in Chicago the prices have gone skyward fifty per cent. Mr. Hoover as president plans to make the white house a business place, with a system of taking care es the affairs of the nation which will if succc-esiui please about every body but the politician.s They prefer the old fashioned system. Don't imagine that because the legislature appropriated $55,000,000 to be spent in one way or another that by some magical power this money will be provided. There is no Santa Claus for that purpose. You will have to pay it, so you may as well prepare for It. Seven bootleggers in Peoria, Illinois, who peddled poison liquor are to be tried for murder as the result of the death of seventeen people. They ought if guilty be punished sufficiently that any body else desiring to make money by selling liquid fire will know what chances he is taking. According to a recent survey of business conditions throughout the United States, the nation shows an upward trend with improvement in the number employed, in wages and ,n prices, and a marked decline in the number of failures. Getting back to uormah y has been a long, tedious and somewhat strenuous procedure but we will gel there after a while. If Mr. Dawes is made ambassador to Great Britain ami breaks loose with some of his "hell and Maria" stuff, will he shot k the ladies and gentlemen of that court or will they enjoy it? Mr. Dawes is a keen business man ami his appointment to tills very important diplomatic post would prove quite popular, especially through the middle west. There may be a good reason for ascertaining how fast a car can be driven and how much speed a driver can absorb but we certainly pay for it in lives. Two men were killed yesterday a' D-iyiona Beach, Florida, when Lee Bible's car swerved, turned over and crashed while going at the rate of 183 miles an i.our. Tliats three limes too fast for the average person to drive any way so wdiats the good of increasing the speed? The governor has signed the "twobit" auto driver's license bill and the new law will become effective after July Ist. It means that you will pay twenty-five cents for a license which permits you to drive and your license can be revoked for various causes. 11 was supported by the Hoosier Motor Association. Just how you secure the license and bow technical the examination will be will probably be announced later. A. popular mode of securing free advertising these days is to offer Calvin Coolidge a job at some figure of from $75.09(1 a year up. It would be

TODAY’S CHUCKLE Withee, Wig., Mar. 14— <U.R>— I Willard Spaulding was hunting j near Withee when he stumbled over a brush heap. Aral Hilt jumped out of the brush. As Spaulding fell, he dropped his gun, which was accidentally discharged. The shot killed the rabbit. a good joke on of them if he would accept but there is not much probability. He seems perfectly satisfied with his arrangemeuts to write a few special articles for magazines and does not care to assume the responsibilities of a Job. It will soon be time to drop from our lists those who have not renewed their subscription. Os course we don't wish to do that for we feel that every one of you is a member of the Daily Democrat family. Won’t you please arrange to take care of this matter during the next couple of weeks? Its a small amount, less than a penny a day for the news of the county, state, nation and world. You can hardly afford to do without this daily news giver and booster for Ad ams county. William Corwin is preparing a map < of Porter lake, a memorial proposed to the late Gene Stratton-Porter, 1 whose stories have been read by mil- ■ lions. It would be a wonderful thing for Adams ami Jay counties and there are indications that it may become a reality before many years. Richard Leiber, head of the state conservation department, will visit this section soon tor inspection and promoters have a promise of support from he and others who can carry out the plans. Republican politicians put over an- 1 other change in election laws in the ( recent legislature which will give them more power in a number of counties. Instead of election officials being named by ihe county commis- ' sioners they will hereafter be named by an election board, based ou the : vote for secretary of state in the previous election. Those boys never lose an opportunity to take every advantage which will continue them in power. no difference what they do in Session or otherwise. Dr. E. G. Coverdale, again chosen president of the Decatur Country club, will make every effort to increase the membership of the club and interest in the program, lie should have the support of all who desire this city to have a first class recreation spot. There is no finer sport in the world than golf and business men can add to their years by thus exercising. A campaign is to be made for members and it is the hope of the president and his board that every one who can do so, will become active in the Decatur Country club. Where's the fire? We watched the automobiles racing to the scene of the fire Wednesday night when an old touring car caught fire in front of a filling station on west Monroe street. We believe all the automobiles in Decatur came racing down Monroe street at break neck speed. Thundering down the street came the two big trucks with bright lights burning and the sounding of the sirens. We noticed the driver of one car racing with the trucks, which was a violation of the law, and say if that big Stutz truck had swerved and hit him, a hurry call to the undertaker would have been made.' Why all this mad. hell-bent rush on the part of the curious and auto drivers? A city ordinance prohibits racing with the fire trucks and the law compels drivers , le draw over to the right hand side of the street and stop, giving the fire trucks the right-of-way. We know there is something about a fire which grips the imagination of the people , and makes everyone excited. We ud- , mit it's in the blood, but when the I fire truck comes down the street, , better pull over to rue right hand side and get out of the road or one of these days there will be a terrible - accident. Let the firemen get there. - its their job to fight fires and they t can do it better If not hampered by j the automobilee.
