TALK BUSINESS: r • PROSPERITY is up for election. ( running’ to overthrow DEPRESS- j 6ON. . , It's for the people to decide which ■ jj’ill be chosen. Every man and jgvery -woman is privileged to balft —every day. ” DEPRESSION has no rightful I Jlace with a hundred and twenty million people, exchanging goods end services—capable—accustomed and willing to work—more highly skilled'than other peoples—leaders in efficiency and progressiveness—backed by the vast natural resources of .the United States. Wien we Snake it possible fcr the man who ■works to have a job we make it -possible for him to buy food for his family and so help all business, including that of the farmer. X The rest of the world is of small importance compared with that Tree market of 120,000,000 people—"homogeneous—of like tastes, hal> *s and aspirations — living under Idle same laws—free of trade bar- * kiers. Foreign trade may be troubled hr tariffs and revolutions, but al their peak our exports represented only five and a half billions of TJollars of gross business in a year Ant of m tot??! American income of ■ninety billions. Stagnation of c i r.c u1 a t io u is what's the matter with agriculture •and with business. Everyone can •kelp to get that circulation moving ■again. ~ Government can t make prosper'(ty—alone. Bankers and other bus-1 "messheaders can't make prosperity I ’’-aioiM*. It's the people, united in i -opinion and purpose and courage, -w ho determine prosperity. They ■Nan elect it —none ether. ... E allots that will be validly count-

id for PROSPERITY are of many Hinds. Some one of them every Jnan ami woman can cast. For example: ’* Help a ueserving man or a « woman to get a little paying “ work—or, better, a regular jcb. Spend wisely and not too -• timidly, and anticipate sch-ed- ” tiled expenditures so far as is - practicable. “ Turn the deaf ear to false, «. mischievous rumors; and don't repeat them, if you do hear the m. Be willing to pay a fair price, w Don't take advantage of the *■* t ther man’s necessity. Recog- . nize that he has as good claim - to a fair profit as you. «, When a vampire that fattens • on tile miseries of others shows - up, help to mak • him unpopii- " ‘ ar - w Discourage calamity Imwlers. Ke p business moving evenZ ly. and remember that, to the -» average man, his jcb is his Z particular business.. When possible, reassure him against his ft ar of losing it. Save, but save wisely, not in • fright. Invest for the profit that sound enterprise pays and for the added profit that will ~ tome after the hysteria of - pessimism has passed. Investigation by experts has not been necessary to prove to everybody that laws and more laws do not check crime or lawlessness that is not exactly criminal in intent and purpose, but that is due, in a .Airy large measure, to the multiplicity of laws. Many people violate laws they do not know exist. Others violate laws of which they

| know full well, but which they do I not respect and, therefore, feel they are justified in violating. Whatever the conditions under which laws are broken every day and night, more and more laws are being enacted and scarcely any re- ■ pealed. Law violations of every character are more numerous now than in any time in the past. The increase in population has not been as rapid as the increase in crime. Laws at the rate of 1,500 a year are being enacted. And lawlessness steadily keeps pace with the lawmakers. It is estimated that I since the adoption of the constitution of the United States the laws passed in this country have exceeded in number the total of all laws enacted for the government of mankind from the time of Adam to the inauguration of George Washington. Whether the calculator believed he was stating a fact or merely resorted to hyperbole, the comparison admirably describes

|«hat seems to be a mania among ' legislators. If laws had the power ! they are supposed to have, with J the very great number on the statute books there ought to be scarcely any crime in the United States. The fact is. however, this country has the unenviable reputation of being the most lawless nation in the civilized world. Rather a nervous time for Congressman Vestal and Mr. Ball, we would guess. The election was so close that both had hopes, then when the official vote was all in, Vestal was declared the winner by ight or nine and then some one discovered thirty-seven votes that hadn't been tabulated for Ball and he hopped in the lead by twentynine. So close that it seems to be a case of who will pay for the recount. Merchants, get busy with your advertising. This is the time of year when folks are buying. Give them what they want and you will be surprised at the increase in your volumn. Invite the trading p u r stere through the columns of the Daily Democrat and see if you don't improve a your iiu.-ii' as. Ollieis are doing it and so can you. A well known man came into this office last evening and said he would be glad to do every thing he could to secure a canning factory here and to make it a real in- , dustry. He said he would contract | for twenty acres of tomatoes and I see that they were delivered. Os course we can do it if we go after it in the right way. There will be plenty doing in the

next Indiana general assembly and it will take some diplomatic relations to accomplish any thing like a real program, but with George Saunders, Walter M yers, Thurman Gottschalk and others Os that size the democrats ought to get along fairly well. The election is over and its time to think about other things. After all there are some matters, just as important and we would like to see this splendid community step cut and take advantage of the opportunities now presented for real workers and real doers. o * TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY | From the Daily Democrat File * ; « November 7, IStlfß- Committees named .or W.

FRANCE TALKS OF ABANDONING DEVIL’S ISLAND Might Abolish Penal Colonly For One Near Pole By Ralph Hefnzon Paris, Nov. 6— (UP) —A movement has been started to move the French penal colony, located at Cayenne, French Guiana, to the farthest outpost in the world —the Kerguelen Islands a dot between the South Pole and the tips of Aus tralia and Africa. Devil’s Island, and Its scenes of horror of fact, and fiction, would be left behind for Desolation Island, the port of Gates of Hell, the Bav | of Thunder and Terror reefs of tha lost island. » Glaciers bob in the arctic seas just to the south of Kerguelen, which sits on the 50th rim of latitude. The heights of the island are covered with glaciers. The lowlands are healthy and rich, needing little labor to make it a righ farming place. The objection to Devil's Island is twofold. First, convicts escape too easily and with little money and secondly, those who go in good hehlth are soon physical wrecks. The unhealthy soon die. Fourteen hundred liberated convicts, obliged by law to spend as! many years as free men in Guiana as they spent as convicts, are roaming the country. They are the only labor Guiana knows. Most of them are physically unfit to work, so their production is meager. Guiana farmers ask that Indo-Chinese labor be brought in. since those Orientals ire accustomed to swamp cultivation. The Salvation Islands, 27 miles oft' the Guiana mainland, of whlcu Devil's Island is the best known, also includes the Isle Royale. with tiers of cold, damp stone cells for incorrigtbles and the Isle of St Joseph with its prison hospital. In all, France has 7,000 convicts In Guiana. Not all are prisoners. Nearly half are free men, unable to pay their return passage to France as obliged by law. or "doubling'' their penitentiary term by serving forced residence in the colony before going home.

In women's hands IN THE FREEDOM of women’s hands is to be read much of the story of this modern day. Hands that press electric buttons, that lift telephone receivers, that turn the pages of newspapers. Hands no longer fettered by the endless household labors of a generation ago. In women’s hands today are the advertisements in the daily paper. They speak to every woman’s judgment. They appeal to her sense of efficiency. . They answer her desire for a life unhampered by needless difficulties and restraints. I By helping her in the intelligent management of her household, advertisements free her hands for direction, for pleasure, for the graces of living. They tell her of products and appliances that lighten her work. They tel’ her of foods, clothing and equipment that can be advantageously bought. They tell her of countless ways in which she can manage her home more economically and with more success. In women’s hands advertisements are symbols of a new power in a new day. They are eloquent of progress, of comfort, of accomplishment. They serve well. Read them. 1 • ' n Consult the advertising with confidence Decatur Daily Democrat
