The senate yesterday passed a bill to that essect. 34 to 8, showing that for some reason this measure has grown in popularity. It now goes to the house. Wlty talk about a special sessjudgment if the members of the

legislature of Indiana would get down to work and pass such bills as should be enacted into laws, kill off the others and go home. The time is slipping by for renewal of our mail subscriptions. We don’t want to drop a name from our list but there are certain things that have to be done in the newspaper business as in others. We ask your cooperation in the farin'of a renewal. * Walter Myers. Paul McNutt, Tiiuftfian Gottschalk and others rutstanding leaders among the Indiana Democrats will speak at the banquet at Indianapolis. Thursday night and the messages from these men will sound the issues for the next campaign. The farm board seems to be breaking up. Chairmen has he will quit next month and now Mr. McKelvie of Nebraska. supposed to be one of those j who could correct the ills of the I farmers, says he is through June Ist. It seems to be a tough game. If the legislature doesn’t get I some where with tax legislation; this week, it will begin to look I serious. Speaker Myers and Lieutenant Governor Bush are trying i their best to work out some relief and we still have faith that they will do so. but its getting along I where we ought to have something definite. » If the mutuel horse race bill becomes a law it will put a lot o, l>ep and go in the boys who love the ponies for that’s what makes a race track and that means a stir in business. You may not care to bet on a horse race but if it helps solve the tax problem it will cover a multitude of sins.

The bill to place a tax of on ■ | cent per kilowat on electric Carrent. would certainly not tend to relifijrp the present situtaion. Electric power and light is a necessity i and to increase that would work a! barjjfhtp en a lot of people. Such, a bill is now before the assembly ! but we certainly cannot believe It! wilt "Ret any where. Berne was honored last evening by‘a visit from Governor Leslie.

who came with Senator Gottschalk to attend the Chamber of ComImerco meeting, one of the most successful events of its kind ever held in the county. Those who attended say there was much genuine and a determined effort by the Berne men to make things go this year. If they carry out the year's program as well as they did this meeting, it will certainly be fine,. Every one in this community is still hoping for news from Toledo that the sugar mill here will operate this year. Like every Industry this company has been having a strenuous time but there are indications that the finances can be arranged and that the court will permit the continuance of the plant. If they do so, we are sure they will have the heartiest support of farmers and every one else here for they have proven themselves a company composed of men of integrity and honor. Advertising is more important [ than rent for the average business | for without the one you don't need | the other. Never has there been a| better opportunity to make your I advertising pay. You have a stat-! ed overhead and to meet it you . must do a certain volume. The, surest and best and most sensible,

way to get that is through the] columns of the Daily Democrat, which with a circulation of about .1.500 covers the trading radius for Decatur like a blanket. For a small amount you can send your messages to thousands of customers and if you interest them you can’t help increasing your business. Try jt this week. Portland is optimistic over the business outlook and the Sun in a streamer across the front page declares “Survey shows business conditions in Portland to be the best in the state of Indiana." We like that kind of talk for whatever conditions are we will not improve them by bemoaning our fate. The survey shows most of the plants there operating full time and one nr two with special crews on the! | job. There is unquestionably an : ; improvement in conditions and | while its still rather difficult to | see, we believe all will agree that ; | its no worse than a month ago ’ which is something. With spring coming there should be a continued improvement, not only in Portland. but in Decatur and everyi where else. And let ’er come. I * « l-essons In English Words often misused: Do not say.!

Amen. •PRAYER IS THE SOUL’S SINCERE DESIRE’’ James Montgomery. Prince of Peace. C. M. William D. Mat-lagan Prayer is the soul’s sincere desire. Unuttered or expressed; The motion of a hidden fife That trembles in the breast. Prayer is the burden ol a sigh. The falling of a tear. The upward glancing of the eye. When none but God is near. Prayer is the contrite ail ner’s voice. Returning from his ways; While angels in their songs rejoice. And cry "Behold, he prays’" i Prayer is the Christians vital breath. The Christian’s native air; His watchword at the gates of death: He enters Heaven with prayer. O Thou, by whom we come to God. The Life, the Truth, the Way! The path of prayer Thyself hast trvd; Lord, teach us how to pray.
