The Indiana Democratic Editorial Association which held its midwinter meeting Thursday night at Indianapolis was feeling pretty good. It had a right to be. Democratic editors have been hoeing a rocky row for the past 10 years. «/Tliey have been to a good many Waterloo!. All lose and no win makes Jack a discouraged politician. The Republican party had the country almost completely sold for 10 years. It made the people believe it could guarantee prosperity. Vote tlie Republican ticket and be rich. Vote the Democratic ticket and he poor. Well, the people swallowed it. A lot of the Democrats forgot Jefferson and Jackson. A lot more denied Woodrow Wilson and cliimhed on the G. O. P. bandwagon. If A1 Smith had been elected in 192 S and the business depression had followed In 1929. it probably would have killed the Democratic party. The Republican propagandists would have said: "What did we tell you?" Tlie gullible would have believed that the Democratic party was solely responsible for the crash. Hut it happened that the Grand Old Party of Harding, Coolidge and Hoover was in power when the crash came. Now people have begun to doubt whether the Republican party lias any more to do with prosperity than a crowing cock lias to do with the sunrise. So it was no wonder that the Democratic editorial pen pushers felt like shouting and setting off the fireworks Thursday night. They see green pastures ahead and a chance to serve the nation, as their party has done so many times in the past. Let no one kid you. The party of Thomas Jefferson is deeply devoted to the interests of the com- 1 mon people of these United States. Its traditions go back to the very foundations of the republic. It has not yet written "Finis" to its glorious history.—Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette. o • • | Household Scrapbook | By lj ROBERTA LEE \ m • Saving Steps When cleaning and sweeping, pin a needle case on the dress, in which to place all of the pins and needles that may be found on the floors.

N. C., Feb. 21-(U.S) —An explanation for the recent change in Niagara Falls, when great masses of rock precipitated into the pools below the falls, is offered by Dr. W. F. Prouty, of the University of North Carolina Geology Deparment. Erosion of the falls has been going on since melting of the continental ice sheet from the northern United States, Dr. Prouty said, and ! lias served as a geological ttmei piece. The wearing away has been regular, averaging one foot on tlie American Falls and about five feet a year on the Horseshoe Falls. Gradual erosion of the softer shale under the more massive ledge of the crest caused an unstable condition of the rock which, npon being subjected to occasional earth tremors, caUsed the recent collapse, according to Dr Prouty.
