The New Deal will win if the people let ft and much will depend on the coming election. Judge for yourself and vote accordingly. The strike will affect 35.000 working people in Indiana, it is an nounced. But it won’t affect them if they don't join and what oun they gain by doing so? What an organizer Dillinger would have been in politics or business. He seems to have gotten quite a bunch together without coming out of his shell. He worked frtfm the back room it seems. • Back of the strikes is the desire of those who do not wish the administration to succeed. It scarce-; ly seems possible that men would ■ go to such ends but they do and the common run of people can only take it as it cofties. Vacation days are over, the. youngsters have gone back io school and the parents are prepar-1 ing to face the winter and its many < requirements. Its time to go to, work. Let's do it with a smile of determination that can't and won’t fail. The list of fatalities and serious accidents was large but as compared to the number of cars on the highways, the fact that many still like to show how fast they can travel and with what recklessness they can dart around, the number > is really quite small. The campaign will open all over' Indiana within the next fortnight) and for two months we will listen | to the arguments pro and con and then the average voter will mark his ballot as he thinks he ought to. Perhaps we give too little attention to the campaign speeches. Louis Piquett looks the par:. He is according to information from official sources the brains of the gang of which John Dillinger was an important part while he lived. If they prove it on hiTn he is another candidate for the Pacific Island prison. Sinclair may be a “nut" or any thing else we have in mind to call him, but if he ever makes good on his EPIC, “End Poverty in California." he will be heralded as the great leader of the times. Its much easier to promise than to fulfill and Sinclair may awake to find his plan just a dream. The campaign for cleaner films in the picture shows can't do any harm and may convince those in the business of making screen talkies, that the people will patronize and appreciate stories which leave a good taste. They could do much to help general conditions right now if they went to work at it enthusiastically. A fiend near Sacramento. Cali fornia locked two little girls in an ice box where they died of suffo cation. He ought to be tortured to

a slow death but Its evtfh money that If arraigned he will have a bunch of sloppy sob sisters pleading for him. We will never stop crime as lo.ig as we permit silly r sentiment to sway us. I I The textile strike may end In a short wlille and then it may last , for months. Wise folk are buying what they need in the wearing apparel line and taking no chances on wild advances. Decatur stores ; are filled with excellent articles of > all kinds and if you follow the ad- ' vertlsements in the Daily Demo- ' j erat you will be able to save many dollars while getting just what I you want. — PURPOSE OF GOVERNMENT—“The high purpose of government, as laid down by Thomas Jefferson." said National Chairman Janies A. Farley in Little Rock, ‘has been revived, defined and put in operation by President : Roosevelt until people now know what seems to have been forgotten. that the true objectives of Democratic government are equal rights for all the people and special privileges for none. The people also know that this administra. tion has demonstrated that a political platform is a thing to stand on and not to run on. “The President has not. as some of his critics complain, sought to suspend the operation of the Constitution. He knows it is the foundation stone of our liberties and he will solemnly keep the oath he made to support and defend it. “The unusual powers granted him by Congress, in order that the government could carry out the will of the people, will be gladly surrendered when conditions permit and when the people through their duly elected representatives, ' desire that this be done. Until that ' time comes he will forcefully and aggressively assume all those responsibilities that a leader should assume. “These protests, and in particuj lar this talk* of unconstitutionality, lis nothing more than a smoke I screen thrown out to obscure the I antagonism these enemies of the j Roosevelt Administration feel for the very soul and spirit of the New Deal. They see the control of the government slipping out of their reach —this selfish old gang lof the old guard. They are against the recognition of the rights of the average man and the average wo. man, the rights that have been rescued and preserved ‘to the people by the liberal leadership of FrankI lin D. Roosevelt.” L « Answers To Test Questions Below are the answers to the Test Questions printed on Page Two. 1. Golf. 2. He wrote it himself, j 3. (Admiral. 4. Charles Dickens. : 5. King Philip. 6.

I* The greatest labor uprising yet to beset the New Deal is the strike of 600,00 C textile workers, closing more than 1,500 textile mills from Maine to Alabama, which has been called as a result of a deadlock over the demand of the United Textile 1. Workers of America that employers raise wages, lower hours and cure other asserted working evils. •
