Charter Member of The Indiana League of Home Dailies. A Zion City preacher says the world will end September 16th, which, if it does, will save a lot of work in the political campaign. A local merchant told us today that while there had been a business let-up the past month, that receipts far exceed those of a year ago and isn't that the proper test? The Chicago teachers ought to feel rather kindly towards the RFC which has provided the money to pay them several years hack salaries, the total being more than twenty-two million dollars. It's wise to place Al Capone on the island where he can't com municate with members of his old gang. These public enemies are not heroes, hut criminals who would destroy the country to satisfy their own selfish purposes. Let Senator Robinson rant and let the others shout their politics, let Fred Landis wise-crack and Borah talk in circles, but the fact remains that the administration is doing things and showing progress. The Indiana state (air opens a week from today and a delightful time is assured those who attend. The program is one of the best in all time and the outlook for a most successful event is bright. Farmers generally throughout this territory will receive more from their land this year than for several years. Prices of hogs, corn, wheat and other products are advancing and the total, even with less production, will count u>;>. If yon doubt that Decatur is going along, compare it to other cities of similar size. With almost every one at work and with the outlook for several unusually busy months, we should all feel more than satisfied with the progress made. Senators Glass. Byrfl, Tydings, Gore and Bailey have not agreed with every thing the administration has done, but they are loyal and will not take pft't in any organization. which if given sufficient power, might become a dangerous bloc. We are not fearful of Al Smith. John Davis or Jouett Shouse doing anything very detrimental to the Democratic party. They may not see things like those (Torn the middle west and other sections of the country do, but they are organization men and their assistance and advice can be very helpful. We hope the Canadian mounted police get their men—those connected with the Labatt kidnaping case, but if the bandits are of the same type as those who worked in the United States, they will not find it an easy job. In other words,

they will not be dealing with natives or average low brows but with smart criminals who keep n jump ahead of the law. — Maine will vote early in September and the political wise boys will try to figure results in November by it, which of course means very little, if any thing. Maine is a rock-ribbed Republican' state which except under very unusual conditions, votes that way,' year in and year out. It will do so this year in all probability and i that won't change a vote in Texas.; Wyoming or California. The Hon. Samuel Jackson, Fort; Wayne attorney, well known here, 1 has been selected as chairman of | the Democratic state speakers! bureau for the campaign and will, spend the next two months in headquarters at Indianapolis. Sam knows his business, can fill jn himself when necessary and do a fine job of it. has a smile and a winning manner and and is an exellent selection for an important duty. Tile Federal officers are not taking any chances on members of the Dillinger gang and as fast as they spot them are putting them beyond the realm 6f courts and juries and jails. It seems to be about the only method of really ridding the country of those who would rob, murder and otherwise defy the law. The killing of Van Meter. Fort Wayne member of the Dillinger mob leaves only “Baby Face” Nelson to be accounted for and it's quite probable he isn't enjoying lite in any free and easy manner. o , ■ , . ♦ * Household Scrapbook | ROBERTA LEE I Oak Furniture Try applying hot linseed oil with a flannel cloth to bring back the luiter on oak furniture.
