It should pass the senate by the same "jackpot” of f ayes. < Many scanty excuses are given 1 as reason for divorce, but a fellow 1 in New York has remarried his ‘ wife because he needed a bridge • partner. That should help the 1 game. 1 Peter Hein is the new state i treasurer, assuming office Monday, i He was the last of the state offi- 1 cials elected last November to move into the state house.

February 21. i All the greatest things of life,” t says Bruce Barton, “are one-sylla- t bfo things—love, joy, hope, home, * child, wife, trust, faith, God —and , the greatest advertisements gen- ( erally speaking, are those in which the most small words are used.” , . .... - ! President Roosevelt advised I “patience” when he talked with ‘ leaders of the American Federation t of Labor. It's a hard job even to ( attempt a half-way ironing out of 1 the troubles of the country and everyone has to be considerate The President is doing everything ' he can to promote cooperation and understanding and true Americans will help him. The ups and downs of life are many and during the past six years the world has seen uncanny upsets. The architect of the Flatiron building and other large skyscrapers died the other day penniless. He accummulated a fortune several years ago, lost it in the crash and was at the age when he couldn't stage a comeback. A tough old life, financially speaking. Governor McNutt declares that roadhouses will not be licensed to sell liquor by the drink under the new law to be passed by the legislature. The Governor lias taken the right stand and will find that the people of the state approve of such a regulatory measure. The bill should have “teeth” in it. The'

proposed measure also contains a one o’clock closing hour clause and that can be enforced, backed by public sentiment. NOTHIN' EVER HAPPENS: We were Just wondering what we would write or comment on for this column, when we picked up the current Issue of "The Friendly Adventurer", read the following and the old world seemed bright again: "Do you remember Webster's famous cartoon called, ‘Hardin ! County—lßo9'? Two old-timers, in coonskin caps an d home-spun clothes, are talking. One of them is standing knee deep in the snow, with a gun over Ids shoulder. The other Is mounted on a horse with a bag of provisions behind the saddle. In the background is an old rail fence. Let's listen in: “Any news down t' the village. Exry7” "Well. Squire McLean's gone to Washington t’ see Madison swore in, an’ ol' Spellman tells me this Bonaparate fella has captured most of Spain. What's the news out here, neighbor?” "Nutin’ a tall, nuthin’ a tall, ’cept for a new baby down t’ Tom Lincoln's. Nuthin' ever happens out here. The miracle of human life! Who could dream that the little redfaced boy baby, born in a log cabin, to Nancy Hanks and Tom Lincoln. would one day take the oath of office on the steps of the United States Capital? Who could dream that that little bawling infant would give voice to one of the greatest speeches in the English language? In some mystic way men are raised up to meet the problems of an unfolding universe. That youngster who sits across the table from you at breakfast may some day sit in the governor's chair. His freckled faced, pugged nose boychum may some day discover a cure for cancer. The little follow toddling down the sidewalk with a sled may wjite the Great American Novel. The little girl next door may be the Sarah Bernhardt of tomorrow. God works His magic with human personality under our very noses, and we say, "Nuthin' ever happens out here!" - o— —— — *STAR SIGNALS i By OCTAVINE For persons who believe that tinman destiny is guided by the planets the daily horoscope is outlined by a noted astrologer, in addition to in. formation of general Interest, it outlines information of special interest to persons born on the designated dates.

Onlooker I ♦-— — ♦ A kindly gentleman, his shoulders somewhat rounded by honest labor, blit as agile and young as ► ever, came into this newspaper office the other day. i His visit was no different from i that of many of our other friends. He had merely come in to pay his subscription. He had come a disi tance of 12 miles. But more than just "paying up” for his paper, he offered profound apologies for be- ■ ing in arrears on his subscription -a little over nine months. As he paid the 13 for two years he remarked, "It is a shame to owe for your home town paper. We all get it. read it. and enjoy it. I knew I owed you. and recently told my 1 wife I was going to put away a quarter, or dime, occasionally so

that I'd have enough to pay up the next time I came to town. Country editors should be paid for their work. They need it. Editors do a great service for us, not only furnishing news about people We know, but somehow we understand your editorials better than those we read in other papers. Reckon it’s just because they are written so plainly! Yes, sir. we all ought to keep our subscriptions paid up better than we do.” And he went away smiling. To have one of our friends speak so knowingly of the actual work and expense connected with publishing even a small weekly paper, and to thus pay tribute to our writing—which sometimes we wonder whether the paper would not be better off without — makes ns proud of our job. even if it isn't of proportions which warrant the wearing of a white collar and necktie. o * TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY From the Daily Democrat File ♦ Feb. 13. 1915?

It will not be used if you prefer that it not be- ’ Sow that the Indiana I, court in its re.cnt decision (right or wrong) has added some amend-1 ments to the state constitution we will perhaps have some change in ( the tax as one of the amendments ( resurrected after it had apparent- , ly passed out is the net income tax amendment. If the tax derived from a net income law would also go towards the support of the schools it would bring them that much nearer being sustained by| the state. | And that brings up a horse with a different complexion. The more support by the state then the more j supervision by the state. Observe if these don’t usually fall into the same bracket. There is effort being made to loosen local hold of the schools- A bill is now in the hopper in the state legislature designed to pry the trustees from their job. Once the trustees are | divorced from the schools then all ; local connection is ended. Some- 1 times 1 think the schools would be i better off if a few of the higher ups near the top would be eliminated. The above mentioned bill comes under the guise of economy. Some one though must do the work now being done by the trustee, if | those men for each county do the i work of the trustee with an appreciable reduction in our tax levy I then perhaps it would be alright to ■ consolidate jurisdiction of the; schools even as the little red brick school houses have been consolidated into one central school in a township. But if there is no sav | ing to the taxpayers and the com- j bined salaries are merely given to I white collar guys and extra swivel chairs are created then that economy thing is a misnomer. There is a possibility that the methods of taxation might become so scrambled that you could not pass it off even as first cousin to the present system. That may be ambiguous. What I mean is that taxation may shift from property, where it mainly is now. to other ways of taxation — with property not taxed so heavily. The purse strings of government are reaching out more and more in the every day affairs of men and where the purse is there is also interest and some supervision, small yet real Some may question the above statement yet this writer antici- i pates more of it. At the same time there is talk of uniting the judicial circuits of smaller counties in the state. They had been united at one time and perhaps could function that way again. Two points to be consider ed are what would be the saving to each county by uniting them and would the plan be practical’.’ I Some might call it “lese majeste” for an old farmer to discuss judicial procedure but any way 1 am up to bat and here comes the pitch. The opposition to the plan centers its argument upon the premise that each county has enough busines to keep its court grinding the entire year. Once 1 had a hired hand that would make a half day’s work last an entire day. 1 would get twice as much work done by him if 1 worked right with him. So there may be reasons why courts need the entire year. All our laws are more or less phrased with legal terms, some even having their meaning obscured, thus making it hard for the ordinary person to understand. Why aren’t our laws written in simple language so that everyone can know the rules they are to abide by? Cases in some courts are continued and continued with no other purpose than to defeat justice, wear out the other side and make expenses. Then there are cases that never should go to trial; that should lie settled .out of court. The court should be the last recourse instead of Hie first. If this writer would hazard a guess it would be that the counties would still exist IF YOUR BREATH HAS A SMELL YOU CANT FEEL WELL When we eat too much, our food decayin our bowels.
