Al Smith has definitely decided not to be a candidate for mayor which dues not surprise his many admirers over the nation. He is much too useful otherwise to be thus-tied’down to a job. Keep right on keeping Mother’s Day by 'making every twenty-four hours as pleasant and easy for her as you can. It will make her happy of course but it will make you feel better also. The committee in charge of the survey to decide the merits of a heating plant and its advisability as an investment will make a complete report one of these days and w-e are sure the people will abide by their decision. Several farmers have told us that beets planted any time this month should make good. The same is true of corn and other crops, so its quite probable that after the spring rains have finished the downpour, we will have a lot of fine weather and good crops. It is the duty of every good citizen to vote and that ought to be the case June 6th when a special election will be held in Indiana to decide the repeal question. You certainly have an idea about it and should help decide this very vexing question. We doubt if a milk strike would cure any of the troubles of the dairy farmers, if there is too great a supply, the prices will naturally drop and taking a few days vacation and destroying the milk which has such great food value-, while children and invalids suffer would not help much or be the sonnd and

sensible way to raise prices. When business becomes normal again, the demand will increase and prices go up to where reasonable profits , can be had. They say one way to stop hiccoughs is to scare the victim and it certainly worked in the case of . Jim Fitzgerald of Chicago who had been ill a week as a result of an attack. When a couple of policemen walked up to his bed and plac- , ed him under arrest, he immediately forgot to “hie" and the cure 1 seems permanent. — Those in charge of collecting the government taxes on beer are disappointed because it now looks like the income from that source will be only $150,000,000 per year instead of $250,000,000 as was anticipated the first week. At that when considered that this vast sum must be raised at a five cents per gallon tax, some of the boys are going to ’ eat a lot of pretzels. It is announced that since United States pissed up the gold standard, prices for tourists in Europe have advanced to such a point that most of them have decided to return home. After all it is quite likely that most of those who can afford to travel these days, can find numerous places of i interest in this country where a dollar bill will still buy a full dollars worth of goods or service. It would be entirely too much to expect that a world conference on peace and war problems could be agreed upon without much discussion from various sources. And then there’s the debt problem ajid disarmament and all the other disturbing elements, but we still believe they will have some surprises from time to time as President Roosevelt and his advisers work out the tangles. The floods are causing much damage and considerable loss of life in j certain sections of the country. The Ohio, Wabash and other large streams are on a late spring rampage and the old problem of controlling them is again being discussed. It’s next to impossible to fight nature and it seems we must just face the music when’ storms, earthquakes and other catastrophes that are beyond human possibilities to curb, occur. We can however render much assistance by supporting such organizations as the Red Cross, which as iisual is first to ex--1 tend actual relief. It will be a great help that each . county in Indiana is to receive , one third of the amount actually . expended for poor relief the past I year. While the amount in this I county was not us laige as in most ’ of them, it was considerable and the amount received will help tide over the months ahead before all I unemployed are back at work. It His the belief that the present coneditions will be rather well over by next winter and every body will be happy if that Is true, but in the meantime there is great demand for funds and after the fight that has been made, we cannot afford to permit any suffering if it can be avoided. o ‘ twenty YEARS’"’ AGO TODAY From the Daily Democrat File • ♦ Gov.

Expected dry strength in the rural precincts failed to materialize. The repeal victory at the precinct conventions, on the basis of these returns, apparently has destined to be greater than in the state referendum last fall. New Jersey Today Trenton. N. J„ 16.—(U.R)—With four states already aligned for repeal of the Eighteenth amendment, New Jersey voters marked ballots today with every prospect of making their slate the fifth. The voters were electing 162 repeal convention delegates from counties, and 64 at large. With the state regarded as safely wet, so little interest was shown that Governor A. Harry Moore found it necessary to issue a special appeal to anti-prohibitionists to vote lest the drys win by default. Jersey combined local elections and a legislative primary with the repeal vote. o SUMMONS ALL NATIONS TO PLEDGE ACTION (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) in the "profound hope” that they would answer his call. The president called attention to the conferences for disarmament and economic restoration, the one now meeting at Geneva, the other soon to convene in London. Mr. Roosevelt said that the ultimate object of the disarmament conference was to eliminate all offensive weapons. But pending that future goal, he proposed the immediate reduction of some of these weapons and the elimination of “many others." The president then outlined this sweeping program: 1. To take, at once, the first definite step toward this objective, as broadly outlined in the MacDonald plan. 2. To agree upon a time and procedure fqr taking the following steps: 3. To agree that while th? first and following steps are being taken, no nation shall increase its existing armament over and above the limitations of treaty obligations. “But the peace o$ th? world." he added, "must be assured during thp whole period of and I. therefore fourth step concurrent with and wholly dependent upon the Uithtul fulfillment of these three proposals

and subject to existing treaty rights: “That all the nations of the world should enter into a solemn and definite pact of non-aggres-sion; that they should solemnly reaffirm the obligations they have assumed to limit and reduce their armaments, aud. provided these obligations are faithfully executed by all signatory powers, individually agree that they will send no armed force of whatsoever nature across their frontiers.” A single strong nation, the president pointed out, may wreck this s)ijbgi|am, and added dig; nificantly: “I urge that no nation assume sqch a responsibility, and that all the nations joined in these great conferences (disarmament and economic) translate their professed policies into action. “This,’ he said, “is the way to political and economic peace. “I trust that your government will join in the fulfillment of these hopes.” o FORTY SENIORS WILL GRADUATE (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) Commencement Class March. “Priest's March” from "Athalia," Mendelssohn —High School Orchestra Invocation Rev.

Driving to this northwestern Wisconsin dairy center in the early house of the morning. Shantz and I passed picket camps. Their tents were silhouetted against the spring sky and embers of their campfires still smouldered. At each cqmp a few men remained on guard—a precaution against possible attack by angered farmers whose milk had been dumped by picket forces. At Bonduel, a few miles south of here, tear gas bombs, stones, clubs, milk can tops, and fists were Used freely yesterday qs nearly 1,000 strikers charged a milk plant. Disregarding tear gas, the pickets drove deputies from the field, smashed equipment at the plant and claimed complete victory. Deputy Sheriff Paul Hoepke was struck on the head.

Dr. William Lowe Bryan, president of the university, officiated. The building will be dedicated next fall. Reasons why so many dentists have been kept idle during the past two years were outlined during the convention yesterday by Dr. Howard R. Raper, Albuquerque, N. M.
