He Is plan ning to make, a record that every good citizen will have to be for him and after all that's the best politics in the world. There is a different attitude on the part of most people we meet lately. They feel we have reached I the bottom of the well of depression and started upward. That's fine, keep 'er rolling. About half our trouble is in our minds. The People's State Hank of Berne is to reopen during the next ten days it is announced, showing the right spirit and evidence of some real work of merit. It means much for the community and those behind the effort should have tile sincerest support of every one. The regular breaking of records on the weather has started, a couple of days this week having been recorded as the warmest for that particular date since the opening of the bureaus and there will probably be a lot of them the next six months. We never heard of Buffalo gnats until recently, hut they seem to be something new' to worry about. During the past few days they killed a thousand horses and mules in the lowlands along the Mississippi river. Perhaps they could be included in the next shipment of undesirables to be deported. Arthur Brisbane, famed as the highest priced newspaper writer in America, issues the prediction that Cermak, newly elected mayor of Chicago is a determined and able leader, who will control Chicago and Cook county politics for some 1 time and may be strong enough to make Illinois a democratic state. As Brisbane says, that's interesting. Some one seems to have slipped i Mayor Cermak, of Chicago, a j scythe instead of a broom and he I sure wielded it the first couple of days, knocking off some two or three thousand employes. He insists the city hall is to be a business place and not a three-rfng circus and starts as though he means it. His cabinet- will be composed of real men, who have had ex perAT THE Qountn/ Qlub —it is easy to detect the face powder complexion in comparison with the fascinating, lasting beauty rendered by Gouraud’s Oriental Cream.

fence and who desire that their city assume the place it deserves. Thousands today paid respects to the memory of Nicholas Longworth, speaker of Congress and one ■ of the most popular men in Wash- ’ ington. Funeral services were held ' in his old home town of Cincinnati and were attended by thousands, including the, President and many i other notables. There is no misi taking the high esteem in which [ this man was held by the people generally. Bryan Untiedt, the thirteen-year-old hero of the recent bus tragedy in Colorado is to enjoy an airplane ride to Washington as soon as he is able to leave the hospital and will be the guest there of President Hoover. What a trip for the lad and how the boys will all envy him, but he deserves sufficient attention that his young mind may be cleared of th eterrible ordeal he so manfully passed through. The Northern Indiana Methodist conference will be held in Muncie next year. Huntington, the contending city, withdrew with the understanding they would insist on the meeting for 1933. If Decatur wants this event some day in the future, and its a fine thing for any city to entertain that great organization, they should be putting in a bid. It has been years since Decatur has enjoyed the honor and it wouldn't be a bad idea to begiu to get ready to go after it again. Among those being mentioned for speaker of the house to succeed the late Nicholas Longworth are two Indianians, Will R. Wood of Lafayette and Albert Vestal of Muncie, each of whom has had a lot of parliamentary experience and could do the job as well as any one. However, Mr. Vestal's position is somew'hat in doubt due to the fact that hTs last election which was finally decided to have been won by nine votes is to be contested at the next session and he would probably have to have that adjusted before hi s candidacy would be seriously considered. It seems to us if there ever was a time there should be cooperation and boasting, one citizen with anI other, it is now. This country has passed through a very trying time the past fourteen months and we are just emerging. We can ali help by either saying good things or nothing. Gossip does not help. Use your head to think with and try all the time to do that which is of some benefit to your community. We really believe there is an improvement, slight of course, but a i betterment and that's something. Help pull the load, don't make it harder for those who are. o — ♦“twenty Tears "AGO TODAY I Fr->m the Daily Democrat File I ♦ i April 11 —New Mennouite church as Berne will cost $85,000 and will be second in size in Indiana.

near the center of the Longworth lot, amid the elder members of an illustrious family to whose name he brought added lustre. The extreme simplicity of the tribute paid here today was in keeping witli the wishes of Mrs. Longworth, who did not desire national honors to which her husband was entitled by virtue of his long and peculiarly distinguished career. ‘ The formal informality of the lives of “Nick and Alice” characterized the end of Longworth's brilliant career. o HOSPITAL NOTES Mrs. Hannah Warner, Chicago,! 111., underwent a major operation at the Adams County Memorial Hospital (his morning.

It will not be used if you prefer that it not bo I » - ■ ■■ — ♦ April 11, 1931 Decatur, Dally Democrat: Following in line with the two late articles of mine which you accepted for publication in your paper, I am endeavoring to bring out some more thoughts on the cause and cure of crime. The first article showed what I think to be the principle causes of crime; namely, juggling of the Federal Reserve Banking System, the extremely high protective tariff. prohlitlon, and women suffrage. The meaning of the juggling of the Federal Banking System is the withdrawing aiijrl minplactng of the people's money. The greater part of the people’s earnings should have been kept in their locality to benefit those that worked to obtain this money. Now, we have, through excessive interest ipaid to gambling and speculating people, allowed Wall Street to sap all of the available money [rom our country and leaves a very meager sum for the people. Today we are told by some writers of our country that we have only 12% of $37.00 or $4.44 per capita in circulation. This can not help but bring on or help to cause such deplorable conditions,, and it will naturally add more people to the class termed as criminals. After all, any of us are only human and we can stand so much, and after so much many people will do things and be termed by our courts as criminals. These people are not to blame for it has been forced upon them by unlawful speculators and gamblers. As a result of this the labor, agriculture, and the small business are the first to suffer. On top of all this the people have been burdened with an excessive high protective tariff, and the only group that receives any benefit from this is the profiteer gang. Such things as this have destroyed our one time equal opportunity of the masses to the extent that the common people of our country are really in the darkest ages of the history of our county. This country was set up on the basis of equal rights for all and it was formed under the greatest constitution of the world, and this would be upheld by any true American. Now take some of the leaders of today, and from the results of the last ten years as I have previously shown, it seems that it would be very embarrassing for them to mention the names of Washington. Jefferson, Jackson, Lincoln, Cleveland. Roosevelt and Wilson for all of these men stood for the rights of the people instead of monopoly. After granting special privileges to big business and money power which have brought so much suffering on the people as a whole, you would think that any of our leaders would lie ashamed to speak of true leadership. After all of this we had prohibition wished onto us and this has fiiad a great share in the increase of < rime for it has probably added

more criminals to the Ust than any one thing th»t we c»n think of. It has made more people hypocrits-, and surely it prohibition was and is the proper thins hypocricy would bi» destroyed. Some of the prohibitionists even go so far as to try and convince the people that prohibition and temperance are the same thing, but the best reference that I can give is Webster's dictionary, however, such l>eople as these do not even believe their own statements. Now the question arises why so many of our clergy, church leaders. and laymen are willing to uphold such an issue as prohibition when the use of wine, liquor and beer is permitted bff the Bible and at the same time overlook the

A great many people think that the Christian leaders could advance Christianity a lot more if they would preach more about the Christ and the love of God instead of so much about prohibition and politics, and praising the leaders of the country who have gained power by misrepresenting and deceiving the voters. Kindly notice the effects of woman suffrage for the one time true love of husband and wife on which, during the early days, our country waa built and now we have a great increase in divorces.
