Tile old circus announcer who used to assure the people that his show would not offend the "most fastidious” is probably now wondering what has become of the "most fastidious.” Perhaps the charges as to tho air mail scandal are not all true but there seems to be enough to warrant a rather strict investigation ami the government officials are right not to take chances. The Democratic editors are in session at the Claypool today enjoying their annual reunion, talking a little business and a lot of politics and just generally enjoying the occasion. Austria, lias a dictator or two but they don't seem to measure up to Mussolini and Hitler so far.

Fort Wayne will tell you all about, it. A good time and profitable one tor time given to your community always pays good dividends. Tho President is opposing the proposed reduction of wages to I j railroad men and as usual is right, j This is not the time for such action if It is ever necessary. Those who can should help those who work for them to regain confidence by increases ■ whenever the profits j I warrant it rather than by taking I advantage of any oporrtunity to reduce wages. Democrats of northeastern Indiana will hold one of the largest meetings of tne year at Fort Wayne ou the 38th of this month. Delegations from each county in the district will attend and it is desired that old Adams county send the banner one. Speeches will be made by Governor McNutt. Congressman Farley and State Chairman McCulloch, who talk turkey and start the campaign off with a real bang. Plan to be there. Governor McNutt does not mince 1 words. He is not. nor has uot been I or will not he a candidate for Unitled States senator. He says he was | brought up to finish a job that lie i started and he expects to go right ahead being the governor of Indiana until his term expires. And he is right about It too. He was elected governor to do certain things, has started them and he should and will finish them. And when he is through he will have I the approval of every one who is inclined to be fair. The appointment of Lew G. Ellingham to be postmaster of Fort Wayne will meet general public favor. Qualified and certainly meritorious, the patrons may feel assured of excellent service and Congressman Farley has shown wisdom in ihs selection. For forty years Lew has fought tne party battles in this and other parts of the state. He has given of his time and his money for the principles in which he so earnestly believes and his friends are very happy over this recognition. o TWENTY YEARS ’ AGO TODAY From the Dally Democrat File Feb. 17—Heavy snows block tho i interurban.

But instead if mustangs this time the Army will use speedy pursuit planes and gigantic bombers. Major General Douglas MacArthur, Chief of Staff, in announcing the Army would take over the mail, expressed confidence hi- F'ys could handle it. He said there are 1,200 flying officers and 1,700 plane: under his command, all of ! whidh will be available lor the new service.
