Former Congressman Rowbottom says it wasn’t fair to mark the bills he received for the postoffice jobs. Suppose we admit that was a little underhanded practise to use on a man of his standing but wasn't it a little off-color for him to charge the boys? This is a rapid moving age, they already have Jack Dempsey’s next i wife picked out for him. She is, according to reports, a Mrs. Reggy Church cf Pittsburgh who just received a diploma from the Reno court, entitling her to take on a new name. There is the outlook for a good crop in Indiana this year, the guess at present being twenty-two points over last year on wheat.

Thats as good an excuse us any and keeps the old boy right w'here most people want him. He caused enough trouble in a few years, but he surely is discovering that his statement, “I ain the law" was considerably overdrawn. They do business in Chicago in a hurry when they want to as evidenced from the fact that within forty-eight hours after Guy Sprague, former Fort Wayne broker, had killed a policeman, he was under indictment for murder. Perhaps the new administration up there has something to do with this but any way its action that is to be commended. Prof. Ormes of Wabash college says that economy is being practised too severely, and he is right about it. If you haven't an income or savings of course it is necessary to make a dime or a dollar go as far as you can, but a lot of folks are economizing who don't have to and that is always a bad thing. There is a lot of difference between thrift and stinginess. Ramsey MacDonald is still in the saddle, the effort of Stanley Baldwin to dissolve the parliament and establish a new one, having failed by a vote of 305 to 251, considered a substantial majority. MacDonald is doing all he can for the unemployed, it is said, and any way the vote of confidence in him, will no doubt give him greater confidence and cause him to use his utmost effort. Tlie representative of one of the leading finance rating companies says that Decatur ranks second of

tlie counties in northeastern Indi

ana, which means that practically every business house has a fair to excellent rating. That’s about as good a recommendation as a community can have. We must keep it that way. Boost each other, be fair and pull together in every public movement. Senator Harry Cuthbertson, democrat, of Peru, finally landed the job on the public service commission, after a score of men had visions of securing the place. The senator is a lawyer of high standing and made a good record as a member of tlie senate in the recent session, is honest and lias all the qualifications for a good public servant. The commission is perhaps the most important in the state, having charge of regulation of all public utilities, fixing of rates, etc. * "twenty“years’* AGO TODAY Fr->m the Daily Democrat File . > —4) April 18, 1911.—Blue Creek ditch hearing is on in circuit court.

She is returned to New York by the American Consul at the German capital and discloses to the authorities information which she gleaned while in the company of the “Count" which may uncover new means by which vast quantities of dope is annually smuggled into the United States. She asserts that “Count" Boris Dobrezcinski was playing a leading part in a naroctic ring, but customs officials have not discins d -r revelation of the method used in smuggling.

Now York.. April t r —When pretty Eugenia Jeanne Moury left the quiet life of a niid-Western convent and turned toward the lights of Broadway, she scarcely expected to realize her dearest ambition so quiikly. just a year ago, she arrived from St. Louis, lured by the chance ot’ securing a post on tlie stage and dreaming one day that her name would be among the famous emblazoned on the Great White Way. Site did not get the stage job, but lost little time in following w ole-heartedly into the pursuit of what she had set out after —adventure. A man who posed as i Russian Count, captured the interest of tlie young Kiri, and retained it. He talked, she -said of companionat-j marriage and promised hpr all kinds of luxuries if she would go with him. Tlie man who was to lead her to adventure was "Count” Boris Dobreczinski, with whom she sailed to Berlin, where, true to his* promise lie continued to shower her with gifts of an elaborate nature. Before the wedding day materialized the bogus “Count” was arrested on a charge of passing worthless checks. Then the girl was left, 'stranded in the German capital Tlie I United States Consul took a hand,

and Eugenia found her adventure ended in being returned to tlie Untied States.

On her return here she told 'of learning that her “titled" co-adven-turer was playing a leading part in a more grim drama than any she had ever pictured herself as playing in her most imaginative Hights. He was, according to the .'lrl, the directing genius of an international ring of narcotic pedilers. and she found herself in the role of au "assistant" in smuggling dope. Through the information obtained from the young girl, customs au- ' orilios are hopeful of uncovering some of the hitherto undiscovered methods by which large amounts of dope are annually smuggled into this and other ports of the United States, They have already coirbated the vest method of fmpor'ation and recently an unclaimed* trunk which was found naively packed with dope of an uncstimated value fell into the hands of officials. Tints ends the quest of adventure which led an eighteen-year old girl from a quiet Missouri town on a road which she thought would end in bringing lieZ to fame as another celebrity—but brought her instead a broken romance and sorrow.

I The People’s Voice This column for the nee'of our readers who wish to make suggestions for the general good or discuss questions of Interest. ’"lease sigu your name to show authenticity. It will not be used if you prefer that it Dot be I • 0 Lear Priende: It is with interest that I read the Decatur Daily Democrat and espwtally this column of our paper. * A great deal Is said as to the success of prohibition and I beg to be allowed to give m.v opinion of this much debated question. 1 have been both amused and disgusted with some of the foolish arguments presented by those who contend for the liquor traffic. I very much disagree with the lady wlm declared through the columns of this pffper that prohibition had made a liar and a sneak of her husband. I rather think it was liquor that did it lor one sin leads to another and surely no rightthinking person would eay that prohibition is a sin. We are all interested in the social and moral uplift of our community. There are those who are chosen purposely to assist in making our towns and communities safe places in which to live. Danger signals are erected on tlie public highways and streets of our cities. In the days of saloons automobiles were not so plentioiis as in our present day and should the saloon be resurrected it will mean destruction on our public highways. There are those who fear and respect the laws enough to let liquor alone but should they have free access to, it they Would again become slaves to this abominable etuff. Shftme on any mother or church-member who by iheir influence supports that which has meant the ruination of husbands and sons. "It is interesting to listen to men who say that they do not expect anybody to drink much if the law is changed. If the liquor business ever comes back with the slogan that all who desire are to drink a little, and nobody is to drink very much it will come back with a business aim the like of which has perhaps never been met with in business circles. For the object of any business is to expand. If a man has nothing but cheese to sell his cry is for everybody to eat a little more cheese. Sound business policy, just from the point of business would be to exhort the moderate drinkers to see if they could not increase their capacity just a little. There are those who say that prohibition has done nothing towards doing away with liquor. Prof. M. L. Fisher, Dean of Men, Purdue University, Lafayette, Ind., says ‘‘Previous to prohibition we had over one hundred saloons in Lafayette to which our students had free and easy access. Those pessimistically inclined say that today there are more places at which liquor may be obtained. This may lite true. However, 1 do not think that our students are going to those places nor do they have the ready access that they once had. The odor of liquor in the city as well as on the breath of individuals is not at all apparent as it .once was. We have the feeling, a> a faculty that the con-, ditions are better than they ever were. We fed that our student body is for the most part lawabiding and dry. Certainly our social functions have less noticable drinking than ever before.” The writer of this article is of the younger generation and interested in the future welfare of our nation. May God help us to rise and in the strength of our manhood and womanhood not only pray but work toward making our communities better places in which to live.
