Charter Member of The Indiana League of Home Dailies. “Germany to tight for freedom’’, says a headline, and apparently that’s what we are all doing. The difficulty seems to be to determine just what freedom is. Now we come to another season of tornadoes and cyclanes with much havoc of one kind or another and no way to stop it.. Let’s hope that like the winter, the spring season will be mild. The Indianapolis Star is peeved because the legislature is dallying, yet they don’t agree with any of the legislation when it is passed by a Democratic session. Surely there is no politics in their attitude. The Huntington Catholic basketball team surprised the fans and won the state championship and it was no fluke. They went rigid down the line and iu the finals took the strong Fort Wayne Central team by a four-point margin. Congratulations St. Marys and the best of luck in Chicago. One of the reasons this community has gone forward while many others have not is the fact that we have not fought and quarreled among each other. After all that’s the smart thing for factions and lights and legal battles usually prove expensive and without re- 1 suits. Let’s puil together for a bigger and better Decatur. , Chicago is electing a mayor today and wise ones predict it will be Kelly the winner. He has made an excellent record fn controlling a crime wave that threatened to destroy the city, lias paid the school teachers, has a splendid organization and looks big enough for the big job. The Republicans arc split in a half dozen factious. ..i,—, . The legislature is considering ad journment this week since it seems assured that a special session will be necessary, but the odds are that they will get through a week from Monday night' with the clock hands turned back. Adjourning a general assembly ahead of time or right on the dot, is not an impossible job but one rarely accomplished. There are seventy-six auto bills in the legislature, regulating every thine a car driver does, if these go through to be added to what we have, it may make every one need a book of laws which he can memorize. The law requiring flares for trucks, even the half ton ones, has made a lot of fellows pay and swear. The new laws may increase that. One thing we can be thankful for in this country is that we don’t have the dust and sand storms of the west. Unless you know about them from personal experience, you have little idea how apnoytfl" and unpleasant they arc. The dust goes through the smallest crevices and every house has to be cleaned

a dozen times it day If it is to look like any thing. Decatur fans who attended the Catholic state tournament at Fort ’ Wayne over the week-end were awarded the trophy for best attitude and we know of nothing that could be more complimentary. Sport fans are prone to lose the place In their excitement, to suy and do things that afterwards are regretted. When a large crowd of people supporting an athletic team can so conduct itself as to merit this honor, they have really done something .worth while. According to stories from Indianapolis there are 80.000 Marion county citizens in favor of the Townsend plan of a *2OO a month pension. Os course every oue would like it if it were feasible but its time to stop “kidding” ourselves that money grows on trees and that we can enjoy the luxuries as well as the necessities of life I without earning them. it’s not . what we may want, its what we can have over a considerable period of time that counts. Those who grumble about conditions and times are losing out, while those who go after business are getting it. Many are making more money than they made even during the hey-days and its time to quit expecting a pension dr an easy living and go out to earn some thing. And this applies to the merchant who neglects advertising, to the laborer who sits at home expecting a job to come to him, to the salesman who overlooks the old adage that the early bird catches the worm and to every one else who wants to get ahead. o 4 ——4 Household Scrapbook | ROBERTA LEE 4 -4 Glatt Tumblers One may toughen glass tumblers and vases by placing them in a pan of cold water and bring them gradually to the boiling point.

tilled liquors have increased from $3,824,000 last April to $9,220,000 in December, due in great measure to the decrease in bootleg vintage in circulation. The “rum fleet” is fast disappearing from the Atlantic seaboard and the bootlegger is sore pressed by the tactics of federal agents who ata shutting down on sources of raw material.

The People’s Voice This column for the nee of our readers who wish to make suggest ions for the general good or discuss questions of interest. Mease sign your name to show authenticity. It will not be used if you prefer that it not be. Editor of Daily Democrat: Dear Editor: How happy we should all be over the Supreme Courts decision in the gold case. All obstacles should be removed from the pathway of such a president as Franklin D. Roosevelt. A president that is putting forth every effort to help us all. the poor, the needy, the forgotten man. He must be a Christian. What was done for us during Harding’s. Coolidges, and Hoover's administrations? They gradually put us into the ditch. Now we have a president who is gradually getting us out of our dire condition. It takes but little brains to find fault, but it does take mental calibre to find a remedy for our condition. I think the sin of ingratitude is one of the greatest. How many of us ever write in to our President, thanking him for what has already been done? Do you know that we are all human, and it does a lot of good to let people know that their efforts are appreciated. Human nature is the same in all. M hat could we do it the burden of the U. S. were placed on our shoulders, the condition the country is in. Why most of us are not able" even to make a suggestion. When men like Woodrow Wilson lay down their lives for the peace of the world, what more could any one do, and then the ingratitude of the people who would yet injure him if they could. The world has forever crucified the best men and women, through sin, ignorance and untruthfulness. The Literary Digest placed the pictures side by side of I our three greatest Presidents!. I Washington, Lincoln and Woodrow ' Wilson. And if Franklin D. Roose- I velt’s career were to close right I now, then it would be our four I ; greatest Presidents of the I . S. were Washington. Lincoln, Woodrow Wilson and Franklin D. Roosevelt. Just so with our governor. Instead of finding fault lend a helping hand and help to remove all obstacles in his pathway. Paul V. McNutt is an able man and is doing his best to ohelp Indiana out of the ditch. Be a helper instead of a knocker. Samuel Ralston and Thomas Marshall were two of ludiatm's best governors. Money was I found in the state treasury when those two governors retired from j office, and both men left the state out of debt. Samuel Raison. Thomas Marshall, and Paul V. McNutt's names will go down in history as some of Indiana’s best governors. A Voter.
