VIOLATIONS Ol LAW RECALLED (CONTINUED FRO»£ ° XIJ order to avoid having to convict a person who had brought some <ll without paying a tax. This belief that the laws were bad explains why John Hancock and so many other citizens were smugglers and yet were held in high public regard. Attempts by the English government to secure better enforcement precipitated the American revolution. This same willingness to disregard laws believed to be improper continued after the revolution, leading to the so-called whiskey rebellion. The next great period when laws were violated widely was during jthe 15 years preceding the Civil war. Antipathy to the Federal fugitive slave law they made many American citizems law breakers, and southern slave owners found it extremely d fficult to recover slaves who had escaped Io the uorlb. Mobs occasionally prevented the return of fugitive slaves by the law, aud the local police would not act. m the case of Prigg Pennsylvania the supreme court held in 1842 that Mate official, were not required to assist in retltrninp runaway slaves unless a state law specified it. As a resu some of the states even repealed thcir state laws so there would be 110 machinery for helping th- sla'-j owners. The V.'biS iradii on in this coh itr> ,-efen-ed to by the ' ‘ in its report, was banded afrom the Whig 'raditien m Und and contained the belief that

people have tilre right to refuse or obey a government If it gets tyrannically and dooa not protect the right people have to life, liberty and the pursuit of happinesi. o — ATTENDANCE GROWS DAILY (CONTINUBD FROM PAGE ONE) of Chriet there were about twelve thriving cities around the Sea of Galilee, whereas now there is but one small fishing village, which is evidence of how the life of man will decline when the teachings ot Christ are rejected. The Rev. Mr. Kehl is a very fine upeajeer and the members and friends of the church should take advantage of the rest of the services. There will be services tonight at 7:30 o'clock. On Thursday and Friday nights the services will begin fifteen minutes earlier. Methodist Church Everybody has heard the expression "Hell and High Water." But Decatur seems in the throws of a new experience. Even “Hell and High Waters" can’t keep the folk away from the revival services There is every indication that the week will register a much higher average attendance than the first week, in the Methodist church. Tlie pastor of the church assisted by the choir that in numbers has been greater than in any period of the past, continue to lead in such an inspirational service, that people who think in the morning that they will he compelled to rest "tonight” just find themselves getting ready for church when the evening comes. “Just can't miss any of the services" is the common expression. Last night the pastor sprung a new one in the way of song. To the tune of ithe popular song hit, "Singin' in The Rain" with the words changed — HOW EVERYBODY DID SING. All aboard for a great sing tonight. “Singin' in The Rain" is one of the popular song hits of the day, but in spite of the fact that it is sung so much in popular gatherings of the day, its philosophy is strikingly Christian. The ability to sing when things go wrong, through sorrow and heart ache is Christian. Let’s "Keep Singin’ in The Rain” Chorus I'm Sing—in’ in The Rain, Just Singin' in the Rain. What a gio—ri-ous feeling I'm Hap—py a-gain, I'm laugh—ing at clouds When dark up a-bove. The SON'S—in my heart--And I’m trusting His love. Let the storm y clouds chase Every one- from the place. Let rain come along I've a smile on my face. I'll walk down life’s lane With a hap-py refrain, Aug sing-in’ Just Sing-in' in The Rain. Why not adopt the slogan for our church “Singing in The Rain?” Instead of finding fault with the other fellow and things in general in our church, let’s “Keep Singing in The Rain," for after all —The man worth while, is the man that <an smile when everything goes dead wrong. ATTACKS RADIO COMMISSION (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) commission which will fare the same way. "Right now I understand Ohio politicians are maneuvering to pilt in two negroes as assistant chief counsel. They haven’t had any radio experience and it is proposed to promote them over persons of sound training.” Senator Dill, Dem., Wash., agreed that the matter of commission attorneys should be investigated, but suggested that several witnesses be summoned instead of calling only Charles McK. Saltzman, radio commissioner, as Wheeler asked. M. H. Aylesworth. pre-ident ot the National Broadcasting company. appeared as today's witness before the committee. "I regard radio broadcasting as a public service." he said, “subject to regulation as such, but not as a public, utility. "It is not a monopoly. It is not a primary necessity and it is not paid for directly by the public. The latter fact especially distinguishes it from point to-point communication by radio for toll, which beyond doubt is a public utility.” ADAMS COUNTY RIVERS REACH HIGHEST CREST (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) However, it was expected the river would rise again before settling to normal levels. White river was climbing at all points on lhe cast fork and on the main stream at Decker. An increase of another foot was predicted at Decker. Further minor levee breaks came during the night along the Wabash above Terre Haute, when a private dike gave way iu three places. Tbe Lyford levee association met last night at Clinton to lay plans.

for reconstruction of the earth wall that collapsed early yeateiday. Members of the association living on the east side of the river were unable to attend the meeting because of the high water which blocked the entrance to Clinton from the east. Damage to farm land and levees in the Lyford district will equal the 1913 loss, according to Mis. Virginia Jencks, of the WabashMaumee Valley Improvement Association. The predicted colder weather arrived in Decatur early thia morning and while the St. Marys river was still rising at noon today, it was believed that the crest of the high water wan near and that if the cold temperature continued, flood dangers in Adams county soon would be lessened. It was thought that both the St. Marys and Wabash rivers would begin receding late today and predictions were that both rivers would fall rapidly. Additional roads were closed by the waters this morning and more farm lands were flooded. Predictions are for continued cold weather with temperatures laf.iing to near zero in the next 21 hourw. The cold weather came Just in time to prevent serious flood conditions in Adams county. All roads from Decatur south to Geneva are blocked with water. Some concern was felt for two wooden bridges in Adams county. The St. Marys river flood waters reached the surface of the wooden bridge dear Pleasant Mills yesterday and the strong flood waters pounded away at the east end of the bridge all night. The flood waters of the Wabash river near Geneva had almost reached the floor of the wooden bridge there and some concern was felt. . All creeks and ditches are filled with back-waters and many fields are flooded. The situation at Bellmont Park remained the same today. Most of the residents of that suburb have moved to Decatur and the water wari slightly higher there at noon today. Q ..... , . Soaks With Ears Another story of n snake witli ears comes frum the Bushveld. Mr. 3. Voges writes to say that he read tlie report in the Johannesburg Sunday Tinies of a “snake with ears” being seen In a vlei nt Kooiberg, and, he adds, that he believes this tale to be true. “My mother often tells us how, when she was a child, a snake which was found to have two ears was killed in a fig tree,” he writes. “As the snake was so strange, the neighbors were called to see it, so that people round about could come and see it as well. I can assure you that this story is true." Don’t forget the J. Chapman sale Jan. 24, '/j-mile east of Decatur. Plan to attend.

“After 10 Years I Am Free Os Stomach Misery” Salesman Thought His Case Hopeless — But Famous Konjola Quickly Won Another Victory I Mi. L. t. SMI I H "After ten years of suffering, I am free of all stomach trouble, and I hope that others will profit from the lesson my experience teacher," said Mr. L. E. Smith, well-known radio salesman, 58 North Addison street, Indianapolis. I “I don't believe 1 went a day witli-l out suffering Food never digested but always formed gas that caused my heart to palpitate. I was subject to headaches and extreme nervousness. 1 was really a physical wreck. "Then I started the Konjola treatment and before. I hardly knew what was happening, this medicine had taken bold. Within an amazing short time my appetite was restored and my digestion made perfect. I gained iu strength and energy. All headaches and signs of nervousness vanished. Konjola has given me a now lease on lite.” Kuujola is sold iu Decatur at the B. J. Smith drug store, and by all the best druggists in all towns throughout this entire section. r - Colds are serious. Even mild cases arc dangerous. Remember KONJOLA COLD COMPOUND (tablets) is giving amazing re lief to thousands of cold suffer- ' ers every year. These table are of the same high quality as Konjola.

TAX REFUNDS MAY BE MADE State May Return Money to Thousands of Indiana Citizens Soon Indianapolis. Jan. 15 — (UP) — Seven suits «ei tor trial in Hancock circuit court January 24 now stand as the only legal barrier to payment of tax refunds to hundreds of thousands of tax.payers in Indiana. The sum involved In tax refunds is In excess of 845,000,000 it was estimated today. The tax refund muddle grew out of horizontal tax assessment increases ordered In 92 couutiee of the state In 1919,1920, and 1921 by th 1 . 1 state tax board. The increases were declared unconstitutional by the Indiana supreme court. Seven suits were filed in superior court at Indianapolis by individual property owners demanding refunds These suits were revenued to Hancock circuit court, they would be carried to the Indiana supreme court. Validity of th-e claims is the only legal point in question and lhe suits are ex.pected to setve as test suits tot all claims for refunds. Upholding their validity would require refunds by the taxing officials. Claims w ould lv required from all tax payers who paid taxes under the increase. Raising of funds to make the tax refunds would creat a serious problem throughout the state, officials said today. o — .... See the New Dodge “6.”
