May you enjoy it and Decatur’s hospitality. Os course no fair would be complete without the bally-hoo of "hot z dawgs,” try your luck, win a prize, ride the merry-go-round or eat here and during the next few days the barkers for the different attractions will have full sway in Decatur. Enjoy yourself at the Street Fair, becouse it is given for your entertainment and enjoyment. The livestock. agriculture, dairy, flower arid art shows and exhibits are features of the fair and unless you visit these departments you will miss the high lights of the big week. We bet that the editor of that little paper in South Carolina, who “wrote up” the prominent citizen following his death and said it was “good rid ance,” is having nis hands full now. He might have told the truth and had reasons to write what he did, but unless we miss our guess some relative or friend of the deceased may take a swat at him. The colleges and universities are opening this week and Adams county will be represented in a number of them, proof that cur people wish to give the young men and young women every educational opportunity possible. The boy or girl equipped with a college education has an advantage

and in later years will appreciate it. The terrible disaster which the T. A. T. passenger plane met with the other day, is proof that aviators cannot ignore weather condition wai nings. It appears that the government had issued warnings about the weather in the territory to be traveled by the transcontinental plane, but like most fellows the pilot thought it wouldn’t get him. No matter how good a plane is, few of them can fight the elements and it’s safer to use a little caution even in traveling by air. Claudius 11. Huston, of Tennessee, is the new republican national chairman, succeeding Dr. Hubert Work, who sometime ago announced his resignation. Not much is known of the new chairman, except that he is an ardent Hoover supporter and is no doubt a man of some ability. It’s the first time in history that a republican chairman comes from the south and those who watch politics wonder what effect it will have in the next election. The new chairman was the choice of President Hoover, who writers say is the real boss of the party now. Although not a politician or one who came up from the ranks, Hoover has taken hold of the political reins and being at the height of his popularity now can dictate to the boys. JVe are a democratic people, and it is a part of our tradition of democracy that every traveler, who comes to Washington to see the sights, visit his second cousins, or ask his congressman to Introduce a bill, has a divine right to call at the White House and shake the hand of the President, If he so desires. When 6,000 callers a month take advantage of this right the result is not only to impose on the good nature of an obliging Presi-

In that 1 i sense the practice is not a proof of I II democracy, but an exhibition of short1 sighted selfishness. But the most astonishing part of the whole tendency toward imposing on the Presi-; dent is the degree to which it Is done ; I by men who profess to know better’ I I than to indulge in such a practice. Men who would scorn to ask the President to waste his time shaking their hands will bother the same | President with requests for "statements,” "greetings” and "Indorsements” for every chance affair tfhich they wish to have dignified with a presidential message. Within the last few weeks the President has been called upon to endorse six “drives.” send messages to nine conventions, praise a half dozen different professions, and write a tribute to the poet Burns. It will be one sign of our maturity as a nation when we begin to treat our chief executive not as a nickel-in-the-slot machine but as a hard-worked human being.—World’s Work. o ‘ TWENTY YEARS AGO * * From the Daily Democrat Fie * * Twenty Years Ago Today Sept. 10 —E.

Commerce Department Urges Better Discipline Washington. Sept. 10 —(UP) — Better "organization, discipline and system" in operating America’s commercial airplanes, such reforms within tile industry itself without govern, mental pressure are the essentials to safer air travel, director E. P. Howard of the commerce department’s aeronautics bureau told the United Press today. “Efforts are being made constantly by the commerce department to insure safe ships and adequately trained pilots oh "Commercial air lines” Howard declared. “But there is an end to what government regulation can and should do. Efficient and safe air travel will depend ultimately on rules made by the operators themselves." Howard produced statistics to show that most air accidents are due to errors of pilots rather than to poor ships. During the last six months of 1928 nearly 58 per cent of air accidents were attributed by the aeronautics bureau to human failure as compared with 16 per cent blamed on faulty power plants and five per cent qn structural weaknesses of planes. "Now we are working on the personal element—the pilot, On September 10 far more drastic requirements for a transport pilot’s license will go into effect.” Q —: , ...Card of Thanks We wish to thank those who so kind-i ly assisted us during our recent bereavement, the death of Burton Andrews. ■Florence Andrews and daughter.
