They come together at road crossings, but not quite so hard or fatal as when they meet the big iron horses at the railroad crossings. The fellows who figured on financing Huey Long's campaign to the extent of five million dollars with the itope of defeating President Roosevelt, will have to get a new leader. It seems that accidents occur in cycles. Within two days four persons were killed in this country, which we hope gives us more than our average for the rest of the, year. It's a terrible price to pay for the privilege to drive over the highways. Melvin Purvis, ace G-Man. was right in most instances, but regardless of the fact that he agreed to prevent the deportation of Mrs? Sage, the woman in red fit the Dillinger case, we believe she should be put on a boat and sent home. Halloween is just around the corner and we don't mean one of those prosperity corners. Four more weeks it will he here and gone. We are sure that if the merchants want it, the Chamber of Commerce will be gist* to sponsor another Callithumpian celebration. October, one of the greatest months of the year, it takes a poet to describe the color of the landscape, the beauties of nature and the joy of getting out in the open. Anyway wo can all enjoy it now and there is nothing more beautiful than Indian summer in good old Indiana.

I aud candidate are eoiicorued. Il has the choice between staudpat ism and progressiveism and neither seems attractive to the leaders behind the scenes."— Atlantic City Press, dud.) For 27 years George Flanders served as dispatch clerk in the Decatur postoffice and those acquainted with his work know he performed his duties well. Always obliging and courteous, he was equally efficient as a postal employe. Complying with the government's regulation concerning maximum age limits of employes, he retires with the good wishes of all who know him. The roadways at the Homestead division are completed, adding to the utility of the place and convenience of those who now call "it home.” Soon the whole project will be completed, at which time the annexation to the city and matters pertaining to taxation will have been worked out by the government. These details are nowbeing put together and an agreement is expected all along the line. \t the i ate approval of work projects are being made by the PWA and the WPA, city officials will be quite busy during the next several months. If a sewage disposal plant, interceptor sewer, storm sewers and other such projects. together with additions at the power plant going on. most of the boys will be kept on the move. Keeping a community to the front aud caring for future needs is not an easy job when sincerely done. Many persons are signing the petition asking the Pennsylvania' railroad to erect flasher signals at | the Monmouth railroad crossing It does seem that some improve- - meat should be made at this point. The view when traveling north is somewhat obstructed and a cut back of the crossing or the removal of a few trees or other hindrances might eliminate the hazard and save lives. It is evident that the whole system of highways aud railroad crossings will have to be revamped if travel is to become safe. The present system was not desigued for the heavy and speedy auto traffic and the nation, each community and individual might as well face the problem aud build accordingly. The Daily Democrats circulation is growing and that's not an idle boast, ft's a sworn statement as rendered to the government. For the six month's period ending October 1. the average daily circulation was 3,260, of which more than 1,350 are sold and delivered in the city. We appreciate this patronage aud evidence that those who call Decatur their home, want and enjoy the Home Paper. A newspaper without subscribers is like a bird without wings for it cannot serve its mission as a medium tor advertiser and servant of the community. With continued efforts exerted daily to publish a better paper, we hope to see our list grow and hope that the opportunity will also be presented to serve in promoting the community's good. o Household Scrapbook By Roberta Lee . ♦ .

BANKERS MEET AT FRENCH LICK Discussions Center On Government As Lending Institution French Lick. Ind., Oct. 3.- (U.R> —Discussions concerning the government's position as u national lending institution were scheduled as the 22nd annual convention of the Mortgage Bankers Association of America opened h»/e today. The discussions were to center on the question: "Is the government supplementing or supplanting private lending?” Delegates were welcomed to the convention by Gov. Paul V. McNutt. Owen M. Murray. Dallas, Texas, president of the association, responded and struck the keynote of the convention when he made an address on the subject, "Goverment vs. Private Lending.” Other speakers on today's program included Col. C. B. Robbins, ' Chicago, a former assistant secrej tary of war. whose subject was I I "The enduring value of farm niort-1 gages as security for debt." and i William I. Myers, governor of the I 1 farm credit administration, whose subject was "Permanent sources j lot co-operative credit for agriculi ture.” Marriner S. Eccles, federal re-1 i serve board governor, is expected I ,to present the administration's! answer to the convention question when he addresses the delegates tomorrow. Former federal Judge Charles L Dawson will address the convention on "Human rights and property rights under the constitution. "I The address will be the first he j has made since ho handed (Town an unfavorable decision against the I government's attempt to secure j land for PWA low-cost housing by I condemnation proceedings. Silas H. Strawn, former president of the United States Chamber of Commerce, will discuss “Prob lems of Mortgage Bankers, at to-' morrow's general session. E. E. Murray, an official of the [ Southern Trust Co.. Nashville.; Tenn., will be the principal speaker at a banquet tomorrow night.

If any explanation is demanded, Romo intends to reply that Ethi-. opia's continued “aggressive attit ' tude" makes war necessary to safeguard Italy's colonies bordering Ethiopia.

led now that the decisive step has been taken. Hi* friend* explained be has been laboring under an al- ■ must inhuman strum lor many weeks as he fought to carry I through his African program with I out setting a torch to European I peace. I It was reported ou good authority that Mussolini has spent many sleepless nights, constantly drink tug camomile tcu. Last night his emotion reached a climax. Those close to him during bls moblliza- ’ i non speech said he scarcely could complete some of hie sentences. At one point in his speech, his 1 immediate entourage though he ' could not finish. It was explained on his behalf that he had been lighting worldwide opposition to his program al- ■ most single-handedly, and like a ■ man in the corner, has decided to j fight his way out or die fighting. Veteran observers said his speech last night was iu fact a cry for help and a plea to France and Britain to let him go through with his East African program without destroying him and the* peace of Europe at the same time. That might explain his failure to use the old slogan of "sanctions i mean war" and the expression of | tho same idea in more conciliatory phrases. The people here remained un- ■' usually quiet and calm after the ; flurry of excitement caused by the issuance of specially authorized ' extras announcing the advance in ' Ethiopia.

TRUSTEES TAKE RELIEF BURDEN Township Trustees Liable For Salaries Os Assistants Indianapolis. Ind., Oct. 3 —(UP) Township trustees will be held liable for salaries of poor relief investigator* aud clerical help appointed in excess those provided for the state law. William P. Cosgrove, chief examiner of the board of ac- j count*, eaid today. Cosgrove wanted the warning in reply to an announcement by Leo X. Smith, Center township (Marion County l attorney, that Miss Hanna Noone, trustee, would hire as many Investigator* as are necessary to administer poor relief. Atty. Gen. Philip Lutz. Jr. lias held that trutHeea could appoint only one inveatigator for each 200 relief < lients and one clerical helper or as*i*tant investigator for each additional 500 clients in the township. His ruling was made a* trustees assumed the burden of direct relief transferred to them from state relief officers by order of President Roosevelt. Cosgrove said trustees will be held liable if field examiners of the board of account* find they have spent excessive amounts for poor relief investigators and clerical employes when trustee records are i ndited next year. “If they have violated the law. it will be up to life attorney general I to file a civil suit for recovery of the excess," Cosgrove said. o BIBLE DISPLAY CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE ial UPOii which tho book of the .sacred Scriptures was written.
