The cool weather of the past week reminds us that the coal bin' Is empty and that we may need, some fuel the next six months. No paper will be published Monday because of the holiday. Labor I Day, but we will cover the news i of the week end in Tuesday's pap- I The South Bend strike has end-, ed and the boys are going back to| work, both sides as usual claiming, a victory, so we presume every! body is happy. Relief rolls are getting less each month and within a short time will I be entirely out. regardless of what the administration enemies say. And that’s something that every one can give three loud cheers for. The WPA wants to help each; community put men to work and it will be only the lack of local I enthusiasm if any town or city does I not provide enough jobs to keep every one busy for some time to come. The cool weather is not helping the garden truck and it looks as though there may be a scarcity of pickles, tomatoes, melons and other products that we usually 'have plenty of at this season of the year. w The grand jury will begin their session next Tuesday, investigating the various matters that may be presented before them and inspecting county buildings. For the first time in the history of the county, a woman has been named a member of the jury. It’s time for school and the next! week will find those in charge of the various educational institutions will be good and busy. Ihe pupns too will be kept on the jump, getting their books and getting organized for the business of learning all they can during the next nine months. Indications are for the largest attendance in history, The "Republican press is having a hard time convincing the public that conditions are no better now than four years ago. Most of us can think back that far and many of the incidents of those days are nightmares we don’t care to have repeated. President Roosevelt is making a game fight, for the forgotten man and that includes about every one.

| The Ddiatur Light and Power j Company are acting wisely in applying for federal funds with which to purchase a new 2.000 KWH turbine, condenser and switch board panel. While we could probably get along a while with the present j equipment, we are taking some I chances for if the big 3,00 watt . turbine should go wrong we would be up against it al the peak load. Also we can, if the grant is made ' by the government, save 45% of the investment. It looks like a very smart thing to do. .Monday is Labor Day. set aside to pay honor and respect to those who work with their hands. Business will cease generally qnd in many cities there will be celebrations to fit the occasion. Every where in this great country will be expressed the hope that the workers will be given their due and I that they may continue to be happy and comfortable. In no other country does the man who labors have a better opportunity and that should and will be the continued desire of good citizens. The state fair opened today with ■ a bang and every indication points, ' to it being the largest and best ev-l ‘er Tield. 125.000 tickets were soldi jin advance and the crowds Monday and all of next week will break ’ all previous records, if the weather is good. The horse show, the educational exhibit and the many ■ other displays will be features worth while, the race program is lone of the outstanding cards in the I country this year and there will be plenty to interest every one j who goes. Adams county will send parge delegations. Better join them, j America is poorer today than it lias been for a long time. We have i lost our Will Rogers, and that is a i loss that we cannot easily replace, j If we had lost our money we could earn it again. But we have lost much more than money. We have lost a kindly soul. We have lost a< national character who gave us I much more than money—the abilj ity to laugh in the face of trouble, i j to see the humorous side of calam- | ity. to smile at adversity and face the future with new courage. We have lost. too. that brave adven-1 turer.

DISPELLING THE FOG Article Two By Charles Michelson Director of Publicity. Democratic National Committee

I According to Representative O Connor of New York, between twenIty and twenty-five million dollars 1 was spent on propaganda against the holding company bill. The New i York Congressman further quoted one of the holding company magnates to the effect that there would I have been spent six billion dollars Ito stop the measure. Nobody can advance that these magnates are pikers when it comes to spending their stockholders money to preserve an agency that I gave a couple of millions in salaries and bonuses to one of them | during the depression when the companies paid no dividends to stockholders. The question arises,' how much are these generous philanthropists giving to the Republican campaign funds? They did not stop the holding company bill, so their next enterprise is to stop President Roosevelt. Theoretically we ought to be able to answer the financial question by reference to the G. O. P.’s reports to the Clerk of the House of Representatives. There are people las recent court records show) in the Pennsylvania mountains who believe in witchcraft; there is a community in the United States that believes the earth is flat, but is there anybody in this great credulous country of ours who believes that the official reports will show anything of the sort? In newspaper circles they speak of a twenty million campaign fund pledged to the G. O. P. Whatever is the actual amount, it is plenty. Undoubtedly the party of Mr. Hoover will be able to spend dollars where the Democrats spend dimes, though there may be a question if most of that party is willing to spend it for Mr. Hoover. Their National Committee is organizing half a dozen sectional publicity bureaus. Their affiliated organizations, like the Liberty League, with its impressive directors list of multi- millionaires. are being equally lavish. I notice, incidentally, that this latter non-partizan group of patriots is projecting an expression of opinion on the constitutionality of recent legislation by fifty eminent law firms. It is enlightening »o realize that most of these eminent attorneys so far mentioned represent the same corporations that signed names, taken at large from telephone directories, to some hundreds of thousands of telegrams to Congressmen. The daily showers of telegrams were to show how the mighty mass of the people was in revolt over the measure aimed to stop the Hopsons and the Insulis from continuing to harvest —without rendering any service—the dividends that would.otherwise go to the stockholders of the operating utility companies. Others of this strictly impartial and judicial section of the bar have already prot uounced their opinions for their clients, political or otherwise It is , inspiring to think of the disinterestedness of James M. Beck, who

Davis, i chief lawyer for the J. P. Morgan firm, and ex-Senator Davis A. Reed. ' to name only a few members of the unprejudiced group. But to get back to the Repblican i plans. Who is to be chosen to car- i ry the banner for the party next year? WiM it be Vandenberg, who cited the opinions of some of the more eminent of thiiT lawyer group on the floor of the Senate? Will it be Col. Frank Knox, who is doing the heavy organizing for the nomination? What will happen to Mr. i Hoover if the Republican National i Convention passes him up? Editor Knox is the most interesting of the candidates at present. , The other day a correspondent ask- . ed him how he reconciled his opposition to certain New Deal principles with his strong espousal of , them when they were presented -by Theodore Roosevelt in the Bull ■ Moose campaign. If anybody does ; not think this editor is a states- - man. let him read this part of his f reply to his questioner; I "The difference between Theo- ■ dore Roosevelt and Franklin Roosevelt is that Theodore was a states- ; man. who proposed to achieve the I reforms he regarded as necessary ■ within the framework of the Con- . ’ stitutlon and without impairing . the integrity of the Constitution. i The present Roosevelt is a self ~ seeking man without the capacity fi to understand, apparently, and II wholly indifferent to the effects I of the vast changes he proposes in f ‘ the fabric of our Government.” My fellow columnist, Mark SullF van. indicates that he sees the solution of the G. O. P. -delemma in a . third party movement, which he J thinks might alienate enough votes < from Franklin Roosevelt in the 'South to give a Republican a I’‘Chance. Well, the Richmond Times; I ; Dispatch had a poll of Virginia, > {where Mr. Sullivan appears toj -jtliink the anti-Roosevelt spirit isj ■ most vibrant, and the result show-1 t ed 84 per cent of the voters 1 the President. A similar poll in- - the Republican end of North Car- ■ olina the tenth and eleventh Con ? gressional districts gave the Prest ident. 68 per cent of tho votes, : which is 10 per cent more than he i got io 1932. , j That byway of parenthesis. To a return to the interesting matter of • Col. Kqox's candidacy. He publish- • es a newspaper in Chicago, and is j loved by his competing publishers S'Wm. Randolph Hearst, and Col. s 1 McCormick of the Tribune, with :■ ■ the fervor that goes with such a >-j situation. Mr. Hearst in particular r must have strong feelings on the s subject. Perhaps he resiietnbers the :■ times he sought a Presidential ouomination —and got no newspaper

support but his own. Colonel Knox j used to be a Hearst employe. At I that time, the newspaper world ■ expected Mr. Hearst to gobble up I the Chicago Daily News, which { was in difficulties, and so rid him- | self of the only real competition he 1 had in the evening newspaper field in Chicago. Instead of which Colon- j el Knox jumped the traces and j bought the News for himself and j rebuilt it into eminence and. perhaps prosperity. More to the point, Mr. Hoover has already selected his RepubU- i can presidential candidates. Hts { friends report that in the order named thesf are his nominations: | Senator Riram Johnson, Senator , Borah, and Senator Norris. In general these have voted, as did most I of the other Republican Progressives in Congress, for the New Deal | measures which’ Mr. Hearst most strongly opposes. The Nation, in its issue of August 28. reproduces his I general orders to his newspapers, 1 and the news services he supplies. Readers of the Hearst press will observe how accurately these instructions are being carried out: US3I NEW YORK. AUG. 7, 1935 TO UNIVERSAL SERVICE BUR EAUS AND ALL HEARST EDI TORS: THE CHIEF INSTRUCTS THAT] THE PHRASE SOAK THE SUCCESSFUL BE USED IN Ai.L REF-j ERENCSC TO THE ADMINISTRATIONS TAX PROGRAM INSTEAD OF THE PHRASE SOAK THE THRIFTY HITHERTO USED STOP ALSO HE WANTS THE WORDS RAW DEAL USED INSTEAD OF NEW DEAL. E. D. COBLENTZ. I do not know if any of the three Senators has been consulted on the subject. The California Senator and the Nebraska Senator both supported ■ Franklin Roosevelt in the 1932 elecI tion. The Idaho Senator took little part, although he adhered to his technical Republicanism in his public attitude. Perhaps Mr. Hearst, in favoring these three Progressives, may take a leaf out of Colonel Knox’s philosophy, which roughi ly is that if Roosevelt adopts certain policies, they are wrong; if any body else advocates them, they are right.

[FARMER INVITES HUNT FOR GOLD Clarence, Mo.. —(UP(—Treasure hunters are invited to dig for $30,uno in gold. William Hutchinson, who lives on a. farm near here, has decided to < all strangers to his farm to help him dig for the gold he saye in Buried there. John Shyle, his grandfather, buried $30,000 in gold on t>he farm during the Civil War and because of Chyle's sudden death, the hiding place of the money never was learned. Because bushwaekers were ranirant in those days and there were few safe places to keep money In the western frontier, many persons buried the money for safekeeping ' Shyle, Hutchinson said, was pre paring to take a large herd of eattle !o Hanlbal for sale. Not wishing to 1 have the $30,000 In the house with his oldest daughter, he buried it in , an iron box. The daughter declined i to be told where the money was buried because sh - was afraid robbers might torture her if she knew the hiding place. Chyle took his tattle to market, returning home he suffered a stroke and died. Hutchinson has spent several | years digging on the farm but Jias i mot found the gold. Now he says that anyone may come and dig provided there is an agreement to divide the treasure if found. o Trade in a Good Town — Decatur
