Any way it always has been that I way. Hou. Keith Johns who will address the Adams County Democratic Woman’s Club lu-re Thursday evening is one of Hie outstanding young men of the state. Ws are sure the ladies will enjoy hearing him. How about your subscription? The special offer by mail for the unify' Democrat will soon be over and you should take advantage of it. The increased cost of paper uiid production will make it necessary to increase the price. You avoid that by acting now. Every good citizen should belong 1 to the Chamber of Commerce. The annual fee is very small and the ' organization has done much work and will so continue. Get in and 1 att-ind the meetings and help think of things that will benefit every ' olid. U seems to be a tough job to make the people be honest enough toaonie up out of the depression bijl the President keeps right on working at it. The tougher the proposition seems to he, the mon he enjoys it and so ho will eventually come titrough on this one. Congress v. 11l discard the airmail subsidy system which is perhaps just as well. There may be timos when subsidies are necessary but there are few times when this system is used that graft does not appear hi some form. And whenever there is graft in public affairs, its wrong, argued from any standpoint and by any person. Senator VauNuys is a wise old boy. Ho has declared his intentions of keeping hands off the senatorial race in Indiana. What else < ni he do? All of thorn or about all were for him and bo wants to keep up that friendship. He de- < lares he will help the winner, whoever he is, show Senator Robinson up in November and that's the main -thing, after all. Indiana Republicans want io

postpone their convention until September, hoping that President Roosevelt will "stub his toe”, that Robinson can bo defeated for tho , nomination and to size up tho Democratic opponents so they can use location, creed, wetness or dryness to their advantage. Anything to win, in other words, scents to be the program just now. "" ■■ " The world mourns today the death ot King Albert rtf Belgium, hero of the war and beloved by his people as few rulers have been. ■ His death was due to a full received while engaged in his favorite sport, mountain climbing and hie broken body was found several hours afterward. He is succeeded by his son. Leopold, crown prince, 33 years old. The late king was for his people always and bis democratic nature made him a great favorite. Everett Saudor*. former secretary to the late Mr. CoolMge and present Republican national committeeman is out making speeches 1 now with the hope of putting some ; pep in his "brethren." He will not get tar for he has not been able ' to convince the leaders of his own party. Senator Vandenburg of Michigan is taking an opposite view and declares that it is the duty of every one to "play ball" with the President. Everett holds to the old school and is slipping. Encourage the best citizens you can interest to be a candidate for the city council. Other jobs are being sought while this one, as frequently is the case, is being over looked. Yet there are few more important. Those men fix your city tax rates, spend the money, operate the electric ami water plant, look after the streets, provide fire pro tection and do a lot of other things that come close home. Think ft over and insist on able men or women being patriotic enough to make the sacrifice. The Democratic Woman's Club in Adams county will prove a valuable adjunct to tho general organization this year. The club is grow- - ing steadily and will soon have an excellent representation in each I township. The meeting Thursday evening at six o'clock, with Hon ' Keith Johns, secretary of the state committee as the speaker, will at- 1 tract many and prove mighty inter- ' esting to those who wish to learn , what is going on in politics. Mr. i Johns knows and will be very 1 happy to answer any questions as j to state- and national affairs that 1 he can. ♦ ♦ ' Answers To Test Questions Below are the Answers to the Test Question* Printed on Page Two. ♦ 4 1.

It s our duty to see that it yields to the proper force. ‘ Fifty years ago we didn't regulate' automobiles because there were no automobiles. When automobiles were invented we didn't make a new government but extended the influences of the old. Therefore there is no reason to overthrow ~tc government to meet the complex problems which confront ns!' today. “Fifty years ago we could not have banished poverty. We think j of’ the World War as a terrible thing and the dizzy twenties as a i time when the world was drunk, yet they pointed out the way to free ( man. Fifty years ago we couldn't all 5 hive had beautiful furniture because there was not enough to go t around. Today we can all have it t because of machinery.

As an illustration poli-I1 tieal tyrany was abolished by ostab- , lishing a top and a bottom to the r political status. Our constitution 1 limits the top at the presidency and j the bottom at citizenship. No man . van become king or slave. 1 "Perhaps our economic Ifie could be limited in this manner.
