Young Halleck will be called on to make most of the Republican speeches in the state. Community cooperation — the Young Democratic und Republican clubs uniting in staging the birthda v ball for the President. The Indiana supreme court has upheld the validity of the gross in-] come and intangible tax law, which lea es the matter where is was, except for the payments. Hauptmann completed his testimony yesterday and from tiow on will have to sit around und wait until the jury walks back of closed doors and decides his fate. It would be a tine thing it America continued to observe the birthdays of her presidents. Lay politics aside and honor the man who devotes his life to the service of the people. It would be a triuli Hun in keeping with the American, syjrit. Tlie legislature is getting tsp steam and from now on the grind! will be in earnest. Ry reading your daily newspaper you can keep in touch with the proposals introduced aud if you have anything to say for or against trem. get in, touch with your representatives. Decatur is being considered as the site tor another factory and indications are that negotiations can . be completed between the Chamber ot commerce directors amt the owners of the new industry. In addition to all the physical requirements, this city is noted for its cooperative and helpful spirit und i industries already here w ill vouchj for that, it’s the finest place on Myth to engage i tl business. Charles A. Halleck, prosecuting attorney of Jasper county, will go I to Congress as the result ot the ■ special election held in the Second , district Tuesday. He tills the, vacancy .caused by the death of i Frederick K. Landis, defeating George R. Dargan, Democrat, by, about 5,<KH< votes. The young prosecutor has the distinction of, being the only Republican repre ' sentaiivo lrom Indiana. He pledg-i ed to stand by the President on ■ certain measures. The senate's action in voting down the World Court proposition is no duubt an expression ot the people's resentment against joining foreign countries in any such pro-! pooal. Although the vote on America's entrance in this high tribunal was 52 to 36. It lacked the two-’ <>,auo iiiajui iiv required vit treaty matters. A lot ot interest was worked up witbin the last week on tha question aud those opposed to the measure fought it over the radio aud through the press. Ever

.since tlie United States refused to v join the League of Nations, the I feeling has been prevalent that this country does not want to Join i any foreign body and the senate's T vote yesterday proved it. ( HOMES FOR CHILDREN: Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt is | meanly criticized because, having 1 interested herself in providing betr. I I i ter homes for poor people, it upI pears that the undertaking may involve some slight financial loss, (“ trifling in United States finance. 0 Mrs. Roosevelt caused families •' t<- be moved from miserable hovels . into comfortable homes, n 1 A woman with children, living '' last year in two rooms without windows, with nothing but raw’ carrots for her Christinas dinner, told Mrs. Roosevelt that she did not dure tell her children it was Christmas day. Ou this Christmas day. when Mrs Roosevelt went to see her, the ‘ mother, witli a newborn baby, and 1 iter children, all happy, were liv- ' ing in a decent homestead, with . modern improvements including, a ' cellar full of canned goods. It that did cost a little money, it was money well spent. 1 Ollier ladies and gentlemen who have spent money for the United States government have not done so well.—Arthur Brisbane in To- '' day. i ! THE WAR MEMORIAL: The measure to confer on the state Department of Public Works i extensive power to purchase huildi ings and lands may pave the way ! for removal of the two Indianapolis churches flanking the shrine of the Indiana World War Mentor- < ' ial. Those structures luive presented a perplexing problem in de- | laying completion of the Plaza pro- , . ject. Sharp differences of opinion j existed at one time over the sity for removing the two churches Some sentimental appeal was attached to the Second Presbyterian Church, due to its close connection • with the early history of the com- . munitia* The problem now is purely financial, as the erection of the ; main memorial shrine has demonstrated convincingly that the f I churches must go. They mar the ■ ’’laza vista and prevent construcI tion ot the approaches which will add to impressive dignity of the 'towering memorial structure. The i I’luza program, it wil be recalled. provided for purchase of land by < | the city of Indianapolis and Marion ’ I county. The churches were includ--led iu the area to be bought by the | I county. Prior to the beginning of actual construction, a heated controversy developed over the need for removing the churches. Evas- ! ion of pledges was charged in ■ agreements made with the congregations. Tlie county commission- ' ers declined to act and tlie matter was deferred indefinitely.—lndianI apolis Star. 0 *STARS IG NAL S * By OCTAVINE For persons who believe that human destiny is guided by the planets the daily horoscope is outlined by a noted astrologer.
