Senator Smoot says we are to have a sales tax which won't be very satisfactory to the fellow who has to pay more for every darn thing he buys though it may be some relief to the paymaster at Washington. The hit and run motorist who runs down a pedestrian and does not stop to administer aid or to report the accident is certainly deserving of punishment and police should not stop until they find the party guilty in the Munch fatality. The new federal building here will be dedicated soon with a program fitting to the occasion. It is ■ a handsome postoffice, modern in every way and will make the work >■ for the postmaster, his assistants and every one connected with the , work of handling mail, much easier. The football season is closing this week, in fact most of the teams have completed their schedules now. It has been a great season with the usual number of upsets, several of which came Saturday. Its’a great sport that helps to take the worries off the minds of millions and any thing that does that is worth while. Wall street under guard to pro-I tect its banks and rich men, congress soon to reopen, stock pri'es down and markets off worse than in years, war threatened in the East and every thing up side down. If Mr. Hoover can explain that away in the next year's campaign, he will be a "miracle man" sure enough. 3™" .! ~ —V From the way politics is starting we look for a hot old campaign. The outlook was never more favorable for the democrats and there will be some hot contests for about every position, honorary and otherwise. The most important task is to name the best men and women tor the jobs so that conditions may really be improved as a result of next year's elections. — 111 1 The court room will be a place of interest this week for murder trials here are few and far betw’een thank goodness. Many will attend for the purpose of learning how an important criminal case is tried while of course others will go out of curiosity. Facts in the case are well known and the testimony will be watched with interest. The Daily Democrat is covering the trial Poor Sleep Due To Gas In Upper Bowel Poor sleep is caused by gas pressing heart and other organs. You can't get rid of this by just doctoring the stomach because most of the gas is in the UPPED bowel. The simple German remedy, Aillerika, reaches BOTH upper aud lower bowel, washing out poisons which cause gas, nervousness, bad sleep. Get, Adlerika today; by tomorrow you feel the wonderful effect. You will say the day you read this was sure a lucky day for you. B. J. Smith Drug Co.

and will give every item of interest to the public so that those who can't attend may read what is going on. Guy Sprague who operated a • stock brokers office at Fort Wayne t several years and then moved to Chicago where he had a habit of > giving wild parties, shot a policeI man who tried to check the noise ; the gang was making. He was I tried last week and while there ’ was no doubt about the murder l and his only defense was that he thought it was a neighbor, the jury found him not guilty. If you can beat that you will be going some. A boy with a loaded gun is a dangerous combination which usually results in some one getting hurt. Its natural for the youngsters to want to play with fire arms but it will be wise to permit them only to use them when they go hunting with an older person. Several accidents have been reported in this vicinity as a result of careless handling or firearms this autumn so we can’t be too careful, ful. Santa Clahs is coming to Decatur, December sth to greet the boys and girls of this commhnity —of course only those who have been good—but that will be all es you we are sure. He will come in his big sleigh, pulled by eight dogs, from the far north country and he will be here the entire day to entertain you. And while the youngsters are being entertained the dads and moms can find many bargains in the various stores. Plan to be here for this occasion. The 40-year-ago column reminds us of the one robbery which Jesse James is supposed to have committed in Kansas City. That event occurred in the latter part of September, 1872. A band of masked men appeared at the entrance of the exposition grounds, one evening, and held up the ticket office. It is believed that one of the bandits -was Jesse James. They ail escaped on horseback. The loot was $978. A Chicago bank recently was reported to have lost three and one-half million dollars through embezzlements by an official. We regret to learn that Jesse was such a piker.—Kansas City Star. o > ; • | Lessons In English | < • Words often misused: Do not say “Food of every description was offered."

I Mr. Carroll resisted the attempted robbery and as Rutledge backed out of the station, Detective Sergeant Linizir, who with Detective Sergeant Myron Clements were wait- ; ing outside the station, ordered the evangelist to throw up his hands. The minister turned around, and seeing the two men pointed his gun at Liniger, who fired once at the man, hitting him in the Teg. The man was removed to the Me-1 thodist Hospital where no one was’ permitted to see him.

Increase in the value of the stock, the testimony indicated, enabled cancellation of the notes leaving both senators with a profit of 250 shares each. The shares were in companies controlled by B. G. rflahitierg. Davis was a cabinet rpember when the transaction j took place. Th einvestigation was undertaken after publication of charges that an unnamed senator had accepted SIOO,OOO during legislative consideration of the tariff. Although Watson's stock profit was said to have been 250 shares, Holland said the company's books showed he possessed only 155 shares at the time of examination. There was no record on the books, I Holland said, of Davis receiving I money from any of the Dahlberg I companies. It has never been ini timated that Watson had received money from any of the companies. Holland said he had found a letter from Dahlberg in which Dahlberg asked Davis to use his influence to have Glenn B. Skippen, Republican national committeeman from Florida attend a meeting of sugar companies in Kansas City. He had found no response however from Davis. I Holland said he also found a I letter from Dahlberg to Davis asking how he could go about getting a loan from the farm board for sugar producers of Florida and ■ Louisiana. There was no other j | correspondence about the mattori but Dahlberg did not get any | loans, Holland added.
