The favorite song at the Democratic convention next week will probably be that favorite of radio fans: “Just Around the Corner, There's a Rainbow in the Sky; Let's Have Another Cup of Coffee. Let's Have Another Piece o[ Pie." We have just read with much interest the advance copy of Senator Barkley's keynote speech to be delivered in Chicago Monday afternoon and we assure you it contains seme lines that will make the delegates throw their new straws in the air. An lowa store keeper who had 575.000 on his books, due from customers, has sent out a letter to each debtor, telling hint he has wiped the account off. He has enough to live on he says and tells them if they feel they must pay. to give the money to the church or the needy. That's a break for that bunch of customers. Some fellow found a chunk of gold worth fifty thousand dollars a ton south of Seward, Alaska, and the rush is on. Always there has been a lure about a gold field that captures the desires of young and cld and the stories of the successes and failures of the prospecti rs is one of the interesting episodes ot American history. The state highway commission will probably have to get along on considerably less than $25,000,000 a year when the special session gets through. Sentiment for a large reduction of the tax and then a split of what's left among the counties and towns seems to be growing. Ot course that will lessen road building and maintainence for the next year or so. which is a fact to considei along with our desires to save. Leo Yager has been named liquidating agent for the Old Adams County Bank.

in the effort to do what is sure to be the most satisfactory for the entire community. The national Democratic convention will open in Chicago Monday, when Hon. Albep W. Birkley. United States senator from Kentucky, will deliver the keynote speech. He is a statesman of the old school and will start the enthusiasm among the tielegates and visitors, it is to be hoped that the platform committee can report by Tuesday and nominating speeches will be on Wednesday. In that case the nominees may be chosen by Thursday or Friday. There is a general desire among all the leaders to make the convention a short one in which harmony will prevail and efforts are now being directed towards that end. Chicago always does things different and never overlooks the chance to commercialize. In the recent Republican national convention and in for the Democratic meeting next week, they reserved about half the tickets of admission, which they sold and will sell to get back the money subscribed to bring the sessions there. Tickets for the G. O. P. convention sold as high as $25 while those for next week's event are priced from sl7 to S4O and some scalpers are said to be selling the choicest for as high as $75. That’s a new wrinkle and so tar as the political leaders are concerned does not meet approval but whats the average Chicago business man care about that? The street fair has been called off for this year, it is announced by directors of the American Legion. Adams Post No. 43. This is not cheering news for the thousands who have come to look forward to these event from year to year, but probably wise on the part cf those who would have to assume the responsibility. The fairs given the past three years have been as good as were put on any where and attracted visitors from many miles around. This year however, the Mend cf the public seemed to be I cjjakßWt supporting such an event and the Legion boys have decided ' t.i call a moratorium for the year, . There is some sentiment for a fall I festival and agricultural exhibit that could be made interesting, entertaining and of benefit and without such a large expenditure. ° I TWENTYYEARS * AGO TODAY From the Daily Democrat File ♦ * Mrs. Henry Moyer and Miss Ella Muts.hler of the Reformed Church leave for Richmond as delegates to state convention.

Preparedness An Obligation By REV. JOHN E. SHEA, Rector, Emmanuel Episcopal Church, Shawnee, Okla.

The preface to the Constitution i of the United States of America is as follows: “We the people of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.” Concerning which George Wash ington. our first president, stated: "I promise myself to realize, without alloy, the sweet enjoyment of partaking, in the midst of my fellow citizens, the benign influence of good laws under a free government — the ever favorite object of my heart, and the happy reward, as 1 trust, of our mutual cares, labors and dangers.” From the above one naturally concludes that citizenship in this country is a gracious inheritance or gift and sacred, and that its obligations are all-inclusive, sum the national capital to the humblest home. The United States is not, never has been and never will be an ag gressor nation; nor will this government as constituted ever be oppressive of men’s rights or another nation s honor. Our educational institutions are free to all and the best. There are no religious tests for citizenship or for office; but it is God’s country, and the Divine and the civil laws have become so co-ordinated that one cannot be a good citizen without being a good Christian, nor a good Christian without being a| good citizen.

Just as any man ■ of principle will exert himself to! the utmost of his resources to. protect hjs own home, his wife and children from the vicious intruder. so should he consistently; render service unto death in de-: sense of the country which con- | fers upon him the benefits of; citizenship. The United States of America is today the richest and most resourceful of the nations. Rut should the other nations abandon war and destroy their armament, except as needed for internal security, this country would readily surrender her key position as a military power. Our Government has called for that, but its call goes unheeded. We were not prepared, as the other nations were prepared, for the world war, in consequepce of which we paid the price, both in men and material — a useless sacrifice —as the compulsory arbitrator in behalf of peace. U is confidently asserted that had this nation been as fully prepared in trained men and armament as was Germany, there would have been no world war. Finally, to be an intelligent candidate for citizenship of this country, one should know that the European nations have nothing to fear from the militant power of this country. Europe's peace is more valuable to the United States than Europe’s conquest.

To Mr. Hoover's charge that the public works program was "wasteful,” the senator replied that it was “the essence of prudent economy.” “it is sound economy to build that which we need when costs are low. and costs are indeed low today. It is sound economy to put men to work instead of maintain ing them in idleness.” Wagner said “it is conservatively estimated" on the basis of expert analysis z that the proposed public ] works would provide jobs for at least 500.0 W men tor a full year, instead of the 100,000 figure set by Mr. Hoover. He accused Mr. Hoover of purposely neglecting to take ) into account the thousands who : would be employed in making and transporting the materials for the ’ projects. J The senator said Mr. Hoover , throughout the depression has been I "wrong, late and futile ” He noted that the President was claiming > credit for the proposed expansion i of the reconstruction corporation,

which was urged in the senate some time before it was espoused by the White House.

REBELS HOLD KING OF SIAM CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE | the king completely from the] throne. He was to be given the I opportunity to continue to rule, but with limited powers. Otherwise. the rebels said, they would: establish a republic. Although the rebel proclamation] Invited the king to continue on the: throne which the Chraki dynasty: occupied for 150 years, it severely criticized the absolute monarchy.' It contrasted the life of the princes with the sufferings Os the, people. King J’rajadhipok has been re- ■ garded here and abroad as a\ "westernized” monarch. The uprising was directed prln , cipally against the senior army i officers and the elders of the gov-] ernment. They have opposed any: liberalization of the regime that the king might be expected to | suggest. There was only one act of ser- ■ ious violence. The commander-! in-chief of the Siamese army resisted arrest and was shot. Other high army officers were imprisoned with members of the government and the princes. Minister] of Commerce Prince Kambaeng-' Ijejra was the only cabinet officer] to escape. Cheering throngs surged through the streets and pledged support l to the rebels. There appeared to] he no danger to the royal family. l Army officers said the king and his queen. Rantbiabarni, would not be endangered unless there I were attempts at counter-revolt. Martial law was proclaimed as a precautionary measure. The streets of Bangkok were manned with machine guns and tanks, but there appeared little likelihood that any use would be made of the display of military force.

'Murdeßii'Night Club Lady' THE NEW THATCHER COLT DETECTIVE MYSTERY /O BY ANTHONY ABBOT r\ 8 eOPVHIWT.tiJI BY COVTCIFMCDE IHC. DISTRIBUTED BY KINOHAIURti SYNDICATE, UK.

SYNOPSIS Despite the police guard placed in her home by Commissioner Thatcher Colt, Lola Carewe, suspected "higher-up” of a jewel thief ring, is mysteriously murdered. Dr. Hugh Baldwin gives heart failure as the cause of death. Those present at the time, besides Colt and his aides, were Lola’s mother, Mrs. Carewe; the butler, maid, and Vincent Rowland, an attorney. Colt feels the I young man whose photograph adorns Lola’s dresser — and whose identity she refused to reveal beyond his first name, “Basil”—is connected with the mystery. At the mention of his name, Mrs. Carewe becomes hysterical, saying Lola was a cruel beast and never loved Basil. Christine Quires, 1-ola’s guest, cannot be located, although the elevator boy claims she returned around midnight with her escort. Guy Everett, I and Colt found the bag she carried. Colt phones Everett’s apartment after 3 a. m. and learns Everett has not arrived. A clue in the form of a small wooden box is picked up under Lola's window. Chung, the butler, reveals that Everett had threatened Lola and that Rowland, the lawyer, warned her she was playing a dangerous game and would be caught. Assistant Chief Inspector Flynn, in charge of the detective force, arrives. CHAPTER FOURTEEN IT was Flynn who greeted Colt and Dougherty. In three or four sentences the Police Commissioner condensed all that had happened in the last few hours. Flynn listened with one eye closed, and with grizzled hands on the shoulders pf his two companions, khspector Lengel, n command of the six detective districts of Manhattan, and Captain Wilson from the local precinct. “Better get right to work,” grunted Flynn at the close of Colt’s synopsis. The Inspector turned toward the living-room door where his men were congregated. One group of operatives had brought along three portable flood lamps which now, at Flynn’s barked orders, they carried out to the terrace. One was taken to the roof. Soon the outer porches blazed with flares of white light, through which the wet snowflakes danced madly. The search around the terrace and roof was being resumed with dogged determination Meanwhile, Flynn was putting the rest of his crew to work. Among the new arrivals 1 discerned several that I knew, including Doctor J. L. Multooler, the Assistant Medical Examiner. In the group were also half a dozen plainclothes men from the Borough Homicide Squad, a stenographer, and an extra camera man. It was from this assemblage that Flynn called next for two of his expert operatives. With business-like rapidity these two got to work. Fred Merkle, photographer, was taken directly to the guest-room, where he set up his camera, and soon the dainty chamber of death flared with the lightning gleams of the latest model magnesium flashlight gun. Photographs of Lola Carewe were being taken from all angles, the prints later to be studied by detectives, made a part of the records, and produced by Dougherty in the court-room, if anyone ever was to be tried for the death of this unfortunate woman. The body was lifted from the bed and placed back in the position it occupied when found — Colt’s eyes unfailingly picking out the rug-pattern signs he had memorized. At the same time, Williams, the finger-print wizard from the Bu-

nvj, lias returned to this city to live with his parents. Dr. and Mrs. S. D. Beavers.

reau of Criminal Identification, was smearing black ink on a glass slab j taken from his kit and smoothing it down with a roller. As soon as Merkle was through taking his pictures, Williams would ink the fingers and thumb of the victim and make impression records. Thia is an inevitable and routine precaution in all homicide cases, and often is of immeasurable consequence in the solution of crimes. Again Colt and Flynn conferred. Here the lines of a long, thorough, and determined investigation were laid down. Rapidly Colt explained the collateral circumstances of the last few hours, the personalities involved and the need for more information concerning them. One by one, detectives were called to Flynn’s side and dispatched on asI signments, to delve into the past life histories of persons Colt coni sidered important. Johnston, the I red - haired first - grade detective, was sent off to learn all that could ibe found out about Lowell Court- ' leigh, the elevator boy, while his ; partner, Simpson, was detailed to question every other tenant in the apartment house, to learn if anyone else had seen Christine Quires’ return, or knew any fact that would shed light on our problem To Winkler, of the Homicide Squad, went the task of uncovering the past of the butler Chung; here the Commissioner stated specially that he wanted the records from the immigration authorities, together with any information obtainable from the Chinese Consulate in New York City and the Chinese Legation in Washington. Fegler was detailed to scour the brief life of Eunice, the maid But Colt did not stop with the members of the Carewe household. Jamieson, of the Homicide Squad, was detailed to find out what was worth knowing of Doctor Hugh Baldwin; Ericcson was assigned to uncover the inner history of Vincent Rowland (and Ericcson was the man for the job; he had amazing secret contacts), I while three other operatives, led by Detective Harris, were told to get every crumb and scrap of information possible about Lola Carewe and her family, including in her case, too, the immigration records. Colt had still not finished his preliminary assignments. When all the detectives thus detailed had gone off upon their errands, Thatcher Colt summoned Detective Walker, one of the cleverest sleuths on the Homicide Squad. Into Walker’s hands the Commissioner entrusted the wooden box with its cotton lining and splintered sliding lid, found in the snow. “W a I k e r,” explained Thatcher Colt, “this box is used to contain certain kinds of medical laboratory specimens. Cover the supply houses. See what you can get. Report to me personally on this.” “Okay, chief!” grinned Walker and hqrried off. It was the middle of the night, but Walker would not wait; soon he would be routing laboratory supply dealers out of their warm sheets and filing questions at them. Meaqvvhiie, T'natcher Colt, after a whispered conference with Flynn, called aside Doctor Multooler. The Assistant Medical Examiner, famous for his clever deductions in many murder cases, was tall, rud-dy-faced, with the pink bulb nose and small twinkling eyes of a stage comedian. Multooler had the soul of a poet, condemned to a life-long daily diet of post-mortems. The autopsist was here now for only a regulation preliminary examination. As soon as Thatcher Colt gave the word. Multooler would order the body of Lola Carewe sent to the Morgue at Bellevue, and there fall

Colt continued: “It may look like we're nwvi too fast—before the autopsy suits are known, but we dare I waste time. There have been thi strange deaths in this pent-hot i—a dog, a parrot, and a girl. 1 ter the body is taken away, I w* the place searched still a thi time—by the whole crew—to fi out if Christine Quires is hidii here.” “Just what I was about to ss gest,” approved Dougherty.

Especially Chri tine Quires!” That meant that when the wo was given, Center Street ferre would be let loose in the apartmei By mathematical formula tin would set out to account for eve cubic inch of space within the pet house walls.
