This is the occasion celebrated every where by all who hope that _peace shall continue to reign and tluit happiness will be in every horn*. “ Out of the stress of daily life we 1 turn aside to Christmas Day. It is \a day still touched with radiance * from alar, and in its light we see “ with new perspective the things ■esthat matter most. We learn anew i »-*to cherish happiness and safeguard ] .... faith. We learn again that wars p , and quarrels are shamed by the j message of good will. We turn twagain with hope to the promise ’••brought by Christmas of the final *J“xicetory of peace. «... The day has become a festival | -of children, kept in memory of a I Child. and in the unmeasured hap 1 „ piness and simple faith of children i * our own trust is renewed. Through . £ young eyes we look back to our • r»wu confident childhood. Old and j "• faithful pleasures attend on the i ♦•" da y—pleasures of friends and fam-1 ily. of greetings and gifts and good v- wilt. In its light we bridge the _ . great gulf of years and the Christ-: mas song is heard again; by its' alchemy the brotherhood of man is I •• made real and barriers of nation; and creed are of a space dissolved; —by its universal observance the heart ot mankind is unlocked. •»- “Glory to God in the highest. ! and on earth, peace, good will to I . ” men.'’ Once again tomes the i promise of joy to the world and' once more the message to sustain 1 our hope for a peace that endures. | * For this Christmas every home I - should be a shrine of peace and I .» every hearth a haven of human I happiness. And that's our wish to you all,; A Merry Christmas, with every' thing to make it complete. — After investigating some eight j or nine months the Marion county ’ grand jury has reported that there ' 2 ’ is no evidence of any thing wrong ; upon which indictments can be re- ■ turned concerning house bill No.[ — l> which ought to convince most any ; fair minded person that no crime was committed. Certainly the grand jury, aided by the newspap-1 ers could have uncovered any ! thing which ever remotely resemb- 1 lid that if it had been possible. ~ The bill was one regulating busses and wao defeated by a decision . rendered last September by Judge ' Chamberlain.

A special session of the Indiana ' legislature looks possible as the' pressure continues to induce Governor Leslie to make the call. A demand is spreading that real estate valuations be fixeel this year and effective at once and that a portion of the money now used by the state highway department be returned to the various counties. 1 The Governor wants a definite program arranged before he calls the session. The senate hns approved the moratorium which means that the foreign debt payments will be postponed one year. What will happen after that your guess is as good as anybody's. Senator Johnson opposed the bill with vigor but to no avail as only twelve senators, six democrats and six republicans voted against it. No mail deliveries tomorrow but the carriers made a special effort to get every piece of mall to you today so there would be no disappointments. They have had a tough job the past couple of weeks and have done it well as have the clerks and postmaster and others connected with Uncle Sam's place of business here. The tour young men who went to the Fred Kohler home in French township and started a rough house were given sixty-day sentences at the penal farm, a lesson which should cause them to consider before repeating such an act. Judge Erw in gave the men some good advice that ought to help them if they heed it. Local merchants extended their Christmas greetings to the people of this community through an-' nouncements in last night's Eiaily ' Democrat. They were sincere and [ contained splendid thoughts for [this happy season. An attack upon the little birds which have made headquarters in | the trees around the court house I for several weeks, has been started and a few rounds of shots will | start them on their way, much to [the satisfaction of those who have ; to pass beneath these trees. France and England are mad at !us now because we loaned them i money which is often the case with j [individuals. We think some times I we are doing a favor but when time i : comes to collect we find we have ' | turned a friend into au enemy. Its i I a funny old world. A Merry Christmas to each of ; you is our sincere wish. I o- — TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY From t"he Daily Democrat File ■» * Dec. _4. 1911 was Sunday. Dec. 25. 1911 was Christmas — no paper.

Dec. 24. — (U.PJ — Malcolm Kerlin, administrative assistant in the United States Department of Commerce, recently issued the following order to secretaries, stenographers and others who prepare mail: "Hereafter in preparing mail for the signature of the secretary (Mr. Limont) please refrain from using the pharses 'you are informed’— and ’you are advised.’ Words of this purport are obviously surplusage." Kerlin saved everyone the trouble of going to the dictionary to check him up on the word ‘'surplusage," too. He appended a footnote reading: "Webster: Any part of any document that Is immaterial.” Kerlin probably is the first man in the government to have used surplusage." and he may have done for that what presidents have done for other words —words both in the dictionary and out. President Harding gave the country "normalcy.” It is generally believed to have been, on his own coinage President Wilson's speeches and state papers added many words to the national vocabulary. Roosevelt. of course, contributed lavishly—" Malefactors of great wealth "; nature fakir"; and what not. President Hoover, too. has made his contribution. In his budget message he said, speaking of certain savings. “They are only facial.” He

’ meant that they were paper savings [showing on the face of the governj ment books but not in the treasury. There's a lot of wailing in some of the larger government departments, and a shortage of Christmas liquor. A suave salesman, driving a car with New York 11[cense plates, canvassed the departI merits recent ly taking orders for i "pure grain alcohol" at S2O for five [ gallons delivered. Cash must be i paid with order. He is said to have taken orders for a much as $3,300 worth in one department, and to have been given the cash. The alcohol has not been delivered and the salesman seems to have been called away on business or something. Senator Johnson, loyal San Fran- ' ciscan, in one of his firey speeches in the senate, compared the pres ; lent state of the nation to the psy-j ' chological condition of his native [ ; California “when tire and earth ] ! quake laid waste the fair metro- [ polls of the west.” "There's a Californian who ad i mits there was an earthquake,” mumbled a Floridan under his 1 breath. o SCHOOLS CLOSE WITH YULETIDE ENTERTAINMENT (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) ■ "Jingle Bells” Glee Club 1 Following the program, Santa ■ I Claus impersonated by Fred Mas- ’ ser, arrived at the school and distriliited Christmas gifts to var- ■ | ious pupils of the high school and i the teachers.
