There is much to -do Jfid only about five or six weeks for the job. Looks like we may have quite a discussion about the street fair and that's alright. Lets talk it over. * roHtMiibering that seeing how nicau we can be doesn't convince, though it may amuse. Public ques- •’ tions should be argued about and — that’s the idea of our People's Voice column. From Washington yesterday came • the glad news again “that American business has ceased the mark•■'''cd decline characteristic of a number of earlier months,” which .'•-eii-ered us until we glanced to an- .-. other column and saw that another ..smash on the New York stock had effected other business T and knocked us right back where were. — Watch out for bogus bills, fake cheeks and other papers supposed to be good for money.

We got "hooked’’ for a five the other day ourselves, so natural!* we are a little peeved. Tan Yen-Kai, president of China, is dead and the war will stop while duo- homage is paid to him. We ""■■don’t know as to his ability or his mt 1 )■' > " desires forth future, but he seems — to Tfave thus escaped a lot of trials — tribulations if we are to believe the news reports which have come from that country the past few months.

The purtv in power is always so held and ought to be and it usually takes 1 some argument to convince the I voters to the contrary. They won't do It by crying. Eighteen Indianapolis policemen, three sergeants and a lieutenant, are under arrest with three civilians for conspiracy to violate the prohibition laws and will face trial month. Os course it means that these sworn officers were making it easy for certain people to secure and peddle liquor and beer. There seems to be some real evidence and if guilty the public, even their customers will not offer much sympathy. Every one regrets exceedingly and sincerely the sad news from Washington that Herbert Hoover. Jr., son of the President, is ill with a tubercular infection. Hopes are held out for recovery but it will require mouths of rest and care. The young man was working strenously to make a name for himself as a consulting radio specialist for the Western Air Express ami making good. He deserves a speedy recovery. Four young men have been sentenced to prison from here, having ! plead guilty to grand larceny and vehicle stealing, having confessed to a number of burglaries, thefts and hold-ups. Its a shame that these boys, several of whom were average in intelligence, should thus start off that period of their life when they could be most useful. They will think seriously the next year or two and we hope that when they have been granted liberty again they will decide to lead a different life. The citizens of Monmouth are making an effort to secure the old Concord church and to remodel it into an auditorium and a gymnasium. Thats the proper spirit and we admire those who are thus trying to do something which will bring pleasure, happiness and benefits to others. After all thats the most delightful thing you can do. We are sure there will be many happy events in the new hall, which will recall the old days when the spelling bees and debates at Monmouth were the talk of the county. Only those who have earned by long or special services the thirtythird degree in Masonry are elected to that honor, the greatest that can be bestowed by that old and long respected order. It is therefore a signal recognition for Cal E. Peterson of this city that he has thus been chosen and we offer our congratulations. Cal has been an industrious and a faithful member of the lodge since his initation in the first degree- He has worked through the various chairs of the Blue lodge and has taken all the degrees in both the York and the Scottish rites. His friends and brothers here are delighted with his election which is taken’ as a recognition also of the Decatur lodge. We do not know the requirements but we are sure Mr. Peterson will measure up and will prove a worthy addition to the membership of the thirty-third. COUNTY AGENT CALENDAR.

♦ — -4 The People’s Voice This column for the use of our readers who wish to make suggestions for tho general good or discuss questions of interest. Tleaze sign your name to show authenticity. It will not be used if you prefer that it not be, An Answer to Mr. Brock Editor Dally Democrat, Dear Sir: Should D catur have a Street Fair next year? lu taking this question und e r discussion we should consider the facts through a broad perspective an d not through a “mainstreet mind." as some people are prone to do. To be snrq this issue, like all Issues, has two sides of argument so let us consider them from that standpoint. First. It is said that the business men, or "filling stations" had a business week during the fair, which was far below normal and that because of this the fair was a failure and hence, should be discontinued." Well, now. there are several points to bring out in regards to this: Possibly certain business men expected a little too much. For one tiling we cannot expect people to buy many pots, pans and rolling pins during the five days of the fair. That is not what they attend for. Then even if business was a little slack during the five days wc must think of what an advertisement the fair is for the city of Decatur and the epunty as a whole, which factor makes for business luring the other 360 days of the year. Just last night 1 heard a ousiness man state that he was still realizing trade from people who had come here especially for the fair. I also overheard a concessionaire say that he would be driving hack through here and would stop for certain supplies before going any farther. And as for the gas station business we must emen|ber that most of the visitors in attendance at the fair bought ’ their gas at home before starting out. This being the same "trade at home" rule that we Decalin ' people like to adhere to. Second, in this line of argumentl is the fact that people spent their J l ent and grocery money. Well I possibly some did hut people are bound to spend money for recreation. They would sp nd it on fairs at Bluffton, Pttrtland, Van 1 Wert or Montp Her. So why not | let them "shake down" right here l at home and a few of the nickels from oft the edges might stay within the city limits. Tile third point is in regards trt th' fanners. It has been intimated that there was a feeling of ill-' will existing between them and the people of Decatur, because the I latter stood in with the thieves, pickpockets an d wiiat-have-you. Now I believe this to be a false allegation. because the fair management and jrolice did their best in trying to wet A out the crooks Furthermore, no farmer would be 1 so unjust as to express such an

I opinion. In fact several whom I j talked to expressed quite a favor-1 able opinion in regards to the fair, ‘ and why not—when you consider the thousands of dollars paid to i them in premiums by most of the I business men of tlie city. In conclusion. 1 might say that I know of one good Decatur citizen, and doubtless there are others, whose blood was raised to boiling because they were stung, not by crooked concessionaires, but by bees in a certain alley which, it is said, was blocked “ntalieously and spitefully” dining the fair. —H.
