Even Popeye is having trouble ■. running his country. ■' ;■ '■ • The Republicans have the desire I to beat Roosevelt, but are balked I in their quest of a candidate. Crimson and white are the cols’ ors of the 1936 auto plates. They'.’l be Tight in style at Indiana football games, while is will be until 1937 when the plates carry Purdue's colors, purple and gold. " * Strikes are costly ir. many ways. It is estimated the Terre Haute! strike cost the state government $50,000 for the national guard in maintaining order, while the loss of business was figured at more than $200,000. Decatur has good schools and churches? well improved and light- ■ reels!* ample water and ele< - trie supply; beautiful homes and all told a .progressive people. The thing it does lack is an adequate sewage jtxstem. It would be a good riddance to oust “Hooey" Long from the ranks of the Democratic party. He is not a Democrat. A selfslyled. arrogant, selfish, rpthless individual, who does tot believe in the principles of the parly or in the representative form of government re not entitled to-vhe banner of any party, unless it be his own. The skies are clearing. Terre Haute’s strike fizzled out, the Wayne Knitting Mills has resumed operations and hopes a.re extended for the settlement of the Inca strike in Fort Wayne. It might have been better to close down for several weeks and give everyone a vacation, during which time all might regain their good humor and ease their nerves. Regardless if Decatur builds a sewage disposal p'ant, the city needs a larger sewer system. A preliminary survey of the needs is being made by the council and city engineer and it's a sure thing that if the community is to be properly served with drainage routes additional storm sewers must be constructed. The sewage disposal proposition must be kept in minds, for it will not be many years until every ct'Fy that empties its sewage into the rivers will be compelled to install such an improvement. If part of the money can be obtained through the federal government, now is the time to consider the matter and do the work at .’east t expense to local citizens. < Senator Van Nuys deserves a bushel basketful of orchids for his | publicly expressed views on the I Phonographic Lady Astor w)w ! made the headlines several days I ago with her contention that moth ! erhood is more or less outmoded. | Lady Astor, England's arch-publi-city-seeker next to George Bernard Shaw, but with less qualifications,

dee'ared It is old fashioned to believe that mothers are the best persons to bring up children, and asserted that youngsters should be put In state nurseries at the age of two. In reply to her son's lament that she had not shown more interest In him when ho was a child, she replied that had she once known as much as she knows now, she wouldn't have had him. Senator Van Nuys says, “England Is welcome to her unsexed and expatriated Lady Astor.” With his sentiments, there is wholesale American agreement.—F or t Way no News-Sentinel. Governor McNutt, who knows and copes with the problems of public education with vision and sagacity, praises President Roosevelt's national youth aid movement as being a program which will redeem lost opportunities which have been foregone by approximately 3,000,000 young American victims of the depression. He refers to the young people around the ages of eighteen and twenty who are out of school and out of work. “These young people,” said the Governor recently, “are at a critical age. For them to remain idle constitutes a gigantic loss. No civilization can cut off its growth and live. The President s program is a program that deserves our wholehearted support. The whole program must be developed and carried on in a spirit that will instill confidence in youth, confidence of youth in themselves and confidence of their elders in the youth. The program must not be set up as a charity movement, but as a definite investment by the government in its youth. ’ _. o *STAR SIGN ALsI by OCTAVINE J For persons who believe that human destiny is guided .by the Planets the daily horoscope is outlined by a noted aatrologer.
