Franklin Roosevelt's two to one victory in North Dakota is significant that the bosses may give out pre-election estimates but the people do the voting and they are thinking seriously this year. Indictments against several Indiana mayors just at this time may be desire to clean up on law violators but there are some who openly assert the opinion that there is some politics in it. - Ike Goldberg certainly had his nerve when he attempted to sell shamrocks to the Irish of Chicago without a license. Pat Murphy, policeman, got a thrill out of escorting him to headquarters where he was lined. Keep your pep up. When you sit around hour after hour bemoaning business conditions you run down your body resisteuce, become j ill ami are no good to yourself or ■ any one else. Brace up. smile at! the world and keep trying. You will find it easier, belter and the only road back to happiness. The surprising feature of the recent primary election in North Dakota was the increased democritit vote. Up to this year the

largest vote ever cast there by that party was 13.000 while this year the vote was nearly 70.000. Looks like a dean sweep for democracy Utts year. Democrats and republicans voted practically even on the prohibition question when it was up in congress the other day, again. demonstrating that it is not a ques- i tion of old fashioned politics. The . wet votes cast were 99 democrats , and 98 republicans while 111 democrats voted dry to 112 republicans. One of our readers, writing for the People's Voice Column reminds us that a rally like we had Monday evening, with the church and lodges feeding the people, wouk* have been impossible in the old saloon days, which gives us something to think about. It was a great political meeting without regrets. Governor Leslie reports to Washington that no one is starving in Indiana and that not more titan a hundred thousand are out of employment. which is perh i.ps as good a showing as can be made by any | state in the Union unless it be I Nevada where they are keeping I things going through divorce! courts, sale of liquor, pri»<- fights and general gambling. — Let's keep the outside folks

who come here to take business from Adams county out by not patronizing them. That's the surest and best way to atop the everlast- ■ Ing ringing of your front door bell. Most of these agents are fakirs who ■ will cheat you it they can. When you deal at home you get better goods for less money with a guar- ] an tec back of It. The leaders in congress seem to i have received more postals from ] home for they have finally announced that a bill will be offered and passed to reduce salaries of Washington officials Including members of congress. The sooner we all discover that we have entered upon an era of lower expenses, the quicker we will come out of the depression into the joy of better times. Mayor Hick Mellett of Anderson was also indicted for conspiring to violate the prohibition laws. That happened two weeks ago when Mayor Dale of Muncie and a bunch i of fellows were indicted but Mr. Mellett is in a serious physical condition in an Indianapolis hospital as the result of a stroke of paralysis and its doubtful it he can be brought to court for a hearing. | That’s a tough break for Mellett I ( has given his city a good adminis-' ; t ration. Charles Kettle borough, director oi the legislative reference bureau, has prepared figures showing the total bonded interest bearing indebtedness of the state, counties, townships and cities and l towns is $196,176,693.86. There is some consolation in that this is $1,823,953.01 less than a year ago. The greatest indebtedness is by the school cities, with a total of $11,176,825.01. The ■ townships are a close second with bonded debt of $13,920,375.21. Thus it can be seen that these two units account for nearly half of the indebtedness and this will probably be found true for each county. —Newcastle Courier-Times.

The state of my present financial condition is due to the effects of federal laws, state laws, countylaws, brother-in-laws, mother-in-laws. outlaws, that have been foisted upon an unsuspecting public. Through these various laws, I have been held up. walked on, set on, sandbagged, battered and squeezed until I do not snow- what I am. where 1 am. or why 1 am. These laws compel nie to pay a merchant tax. capital tax, excess profit tax. gas tax, sur-tsu. syntax, and carpet tacks. In addition to a; ying these taxes I am requested and required to contribute to every society and organization that the inventive mind can organize. To the society of John the Baptist.

Also every dog. eat and human hospital, ami every charitable organization, the Red Cross. Black Cross, and the Double Cross. The government has so govern ed my farm that 1 do not know who owns it. or why, 1 am so suspected, expected, disrespected, examined, re-examined, informed, required, commanded, expelled and convened until all 1 know is that I am supposed to prove an inexhaustible supply of money for every human need, desire or Ini.eof the human race, and because 1 refuse to donate all I have ami go out and beg. bor-
