A witness, who conducted a shoo next door and who happened to glance in his neighbor's place of business, occupied the witness stand. The story of this testimony. as recently taken from the official records in connection with oilier unsavory developments bearing on the qualifications of the judge for his position, contains the following excerpt: Magistrate—Did you see this defendant taking the money out of the cash register? Witness —Yes. It wasn’t right in the register his hand. 1 didn’t see him take it out of the register, but I saw liim with his hands full of money closing the register drawer. Defendant's counsel —I move to strike out lite latter part of Hie answer. Magistrate—Strike it out. Mag strate (to police officer) Have you anybody that saw .this defendant taking the money out of the register, officer? Officer No. Magistrate -The defendant is discharged. But tlie money, it seems, had been found on the defendant's person and the patrolman who made the arrest has sworn since that the a •cosed man admitted the theft to him. The officer adds that he intended telling the magistrate this if he had a chance. The testimony cited was made public by Police Commissioner Whalen. Aside from the grave relation it has to other alleged features of this judge's career, the incident touches on a frequent disposition of many toward rubs of evidence. Whether or not this magistrate can justify Ills ruling, as in harmony with established procedure governing what is admissible testimony. we do not know. We da kirowaJhat the technology of the law, ip application, has become a confused and mysterious thing, and that the result in verdicts often runs counter to what lay

Still More Millions Treat Colds Direct Round-About Method of “Dosing” I Gives Way To Modern Vaporizing Salve More and more people each year i are giving up the slow, indirect way of treating colds by “dosing" with internal medicines, and are adopt' ing the modern direct treatment--Vicks Vapoßub. Vicks goes direct to the affected parts and checks the cold in two ways — its medicated vapors, released by the heat of the body, art inhaled direct to the inflamed airpassages; at the same time it acts direct through the skin like a poul tice or plaster, “drawing out" tightness and soreness. Vicks is especially appreciated by mothers because it is just rubber on. and therefore, cannot upset children's delicate stomachs as "dor.ing” 13 so apt to do. Today the whole trend of medical practice is away from needless "dosing.” To keep pace with the ever-grow ing demand, the famous slogan, “171 Million Jars Used Yearly," wa raised to “21 Million” a short time ago. This figure too has been out grown, as there are now “Over 2f Million Jars Used Yearly"—a ja’ for every family in lha Unites States.

Gradpatly we are drifting to a stage of auto- ( cracy that spells ultimate ruin. Mr. Ludlow has offered a resolution in congress, providing for the appointment of a committee of nine, three from congress, three from the senate and three by appointment of tlie president on recommendation of the American Bar Association to consider the problem and to report to the December session of congress in 1931. It is high time that attention be called to tlie danger and we hqpe the. distinguished Indiana congressman accomplishes his purpose beyond his fondest hopes. An lowa judge recently had before him for the second time a young man guilty of driving a car while intoxicated. He fined him a hundred dollars, sent him to jail ninety days and then ruled that , he should not own or drive a car ’or three years. In case lie does he judge will send him back to he reformatory. If there is any ?rime in tlie world that ought to le severely dealt with it is that d handling a car while tlie driver I- intoxicated for its dangerous to every body in the car and every one on Uie road. Make more of them walk if they fail to obey the laws. This is “Own Your Home'' day of Thrift Week and we hope that “very one sits down and considers carefully just how he can do that. Owning a home in Decatur is a safe investment and besides that it wll bring you more genuine sat sfaction and happiness than any thing we know of that you cat! do. It makes you save to meet the payments and it provides a place around which the finest memories of your family can be built. Buy a home in Decatur or arrange to build one this year. The Jierald-I’resr. at Huntington recently installed a new 32 page Duplex low-unit press, a monotype caster and made a number of other improvements which gives them as complete an outfit as will* b> "ound in any city twice the size of Huntington. An opening held Saturday attracted many people to the office and a special edition told the public of the advancement i made (here. We congratulate the I managers of this splendid and I thriving newspaper. Surely the city of Chicago is getting enough of Mayor Thompson. So far as the general public can see he lias done nothing but strut, waste lite city funds and draw h s salary. The city is on financial rocks. It will get out ot i course for it had great citizens and vast wealth but it will make some real men "hump'' for some time to work out all Hie turns. Remember it is the duty of every ■ one to see that the census of the community is correctly taken and that every person Is counted who has a right to be. Th'' census lak- , en this year wil I stand for ten years and its next to impossible 1 to correct It, wnce the job is over. Senator Arthur Robinson of In- | diana, it appears, will fare better if

Out ol that spirit of comradeship, mutual helpfulness and service to Hie flag, so outstanding among those who fought side by side for their country in the Wortd War, has sprung The American Legion dedicated to the highest of American ideals and pledged to the stalwart and noble principle of unselfish service in peace time. The American Legion has made a glorious record'since its inception, a record of which every patriotic citizen should be proud. The accomplishments of the organization have been many and , tray worth while. The greatest work of the Legion has been in bridging the cult between the disabled and the government agencies to provide relief. 'Die Legion has aided thousands of disabled soldiers to obtain government compensation and government hospital care and attention. It has exerted its best efforts in behalf of the dependent children of veterans and those who were left widows by the war. Through the efforts of the lx*gion many constructive improvements have been made in the medical and hospital facilities for the disabled. Tlie community service program of the Legion has lieen one of tlie greatest activities ever undertaken by any organization. Civic betterment projects have been conducted in all parts of the nation, , demonstiating in a concrete way the power of the Legion to serve. The Americanism work embracing such activities as the instruction ol new citizens in their duties and responsibilities to the nation, the Junior Baseball program and support of the Boy Scout movement, have been highly successful and have materially advanced the Ijegion program of good citizenship. The people of this city admire the splendid work being carried on by the Legion and they are anxious that it lie continued and extended. The results the Legion may achieve are limited only to its memheiship strength. The Legion in this city is conducting a membership campaign to euroT every eligible World war veteran, and the general public should give the legion every possible encouragement as a small token of its appreciation. NOW, THEREFORE, I. GEORGE M. KRICK, Mayor of the City of Decatur, do hereby proclaim January 19 to 26, 193(1, as the dates for The American legion s intensive membership drive and cal! upon all citizens to cooperate with the Legion in its effort to Imll'l a better and stronger organization. Ex-service men who are not members of the Legion should subscribe to its principles and aid in this great work by carrying a Legion card and wearing tlie Legion emblem. IN WITNESS WHEREOF. 1 have hereunto set‘my hand and caused the seal of the City of Decatur to be affixed. Done in the City of Decatur this 3rd day of January, in the year of our laird, One Thousand Nine Hundred and Thirty. (Seal) (Signed) GEORGE M. KRICK, Mayor of Decatur, Indiana
