That’s always the finest part of the year. We wonder when the coal miners get out the large amount of fuel sold and used each year. They seem to be on a strike about ninetenths of the time. It’s queer how cold it seems for baseball though the same crowd would think it just right for foot ball. Doesn't one shiver just the same? You understand that most of the statements now being given out are for politics solely. The politicians are warming up for next year. They claim every thing and 1 admit nothing. How about it? Do you want a Calithumpian celebration here on Halloween? Those held in past years have provided much clean entertainment and proven excellent attraction for large crowds. The surest sign that we are growing is the fact that the electric department of the city plant this week reached the peak load, 1900 KWH, when the Central Soya Bean Company’s plant cut in on the lines. More good news. Listen in on the WOWO program given each Monday. Wednesday and Friday at 12 o’clock neon by the Crystal Sparklers. It’s a good program supported by the Central Sugar Company of Decatur, advocating the well known fact that •'what Jndiana makes, makes Indiana.” «• What would you do if you had paid five dollars for a ring side seat at. the world series games and some one came along and offered you a hundred? If you turned it down you would be a real fan and of court® after you had gone to Detroit or Chicago to see the game you would say no unless you needed the hundred badly. And later probably wished you had taken it. Plans arc underway for a fitting celebration here of Armistice Day, November 11th, to be participated in by the school children of the city and Adams Post.

A man who has been connected with the claim department of one of the leading railways tells us that more than half their railroad crossing losses are where they have blinkers. When these are installed the public aci cepts them as perfect all the time and if something happens that puts them out of commission the danger is much greater than before these safety appliances were installed. If crossings can be cleared so the view is plain each way. it is usually safer than those where signals are used. It's a matter for serious thought. The local Adams Post of the American Legion would appreciate a home where they can hold their social and business sessions and they should have one. They have in mind several places but as usual in such cases, the matter of financing the deal is a difficult one. While they have not asked for assistance, we are sure it would be sincerely appreciated by a bunch of the finest fellows in the j world. In a number of cities large homes have been donated and in others citizens have raised the funds with which to secure title | to property for the boys.

DISPELLING THE FOG —. By Chades Michelson Director of Publicity, Democratic National Committee

Last week Col. Frank Knox, the Chicago editor, was the leading candidate for the Republican Presidential nomination. They gave him quite a ride. This week Governor Landon of Kansas is being paraded. We may expect to read a good deal about the Kansas Governor for a month or so. Then Senator Vandenberg is due for the spot-1 light for another brief period, and | so on until the fatal day of the National Convention, when the G. 1 O. P. has to make up its mind. Lp 1 to date none of the Eastern entries has been shown in the ring. Ogden Mills. Wadsworth. Hamil- i ton Fish and Ex-President Hoover j are being kept under blankets. ‘ This is rather remarkable consid-1 ering that these are the sort of candidates who. in the minds of! the chief producers of campaign funds, are best calculated to rescue the country from the Democratic administration that hasn't done a thing for the country ex-i cept to put a shattered banking system on its feet; make deposits something more than a bet on whether the bank would stay open long enough to get them out; restore the farmers to the class will-; ing to buy and able to pay; save a mil.Tbn farms and a million urban homes from foreclosure of mortgages; put business generally out of the red and into the black; increase annual incomes by an aggregate of five billion dollars; get innumerable shut-down mills and factories to running again and a few other things like that. Os the candidates so far, trotted out, Col. Knox's claim for the decoration of a nomination consists principally of his individual desire complicated perhaps with a hankering to crow over his publisher competitors in Chicago, William Randolph Hearst and Col. Robert McCormick—one of whom vainly sought long ago. and the other now suspected of seeking the honor. Governor Landon’s perhaps most j tangible claim to availability is i the anti-saloon vote. lie campaign- j cd for his Governorship on the dry issue with the modest ambition indicated that ultimately lie would accomplish the restoration of National Prohibition. Senator Valid enberg's strength lies in the circumstances that he was for the New Deal, against the New Deal, and non-committal between times and therefore ought to have triends on all sides. Moreover. Vandenberg like Landon, survived the Roosevelt lanthlid-- which wac some survival, even in Michigan and Kansas. We are hearing less and less of third party ticket, though such Republican propagandists as Frank Kent continue to write about it vaguely, while Mark Sullivan treats it exhaustively. <ud Mr Hearst despairingly.

: Democrat" could lead a third party successfully, if the Republicans I nominated Mr. TTbover, but finally I concludes that the sole hope of ■ the nation is in the Republicans — and Governor Landon. A little while ago Mr. Hearst had quite a - list of Republicans for the big job, but his latest utterance casts over board not only the Ex-President, ■ ; but Col. Knox and Senator Borah. Mr. Sullivan seems to think that ' the third party hope lies in the estI orts of John Henry Kirby and the ' I "Southern Committee to Uphold the Constitution," of which he announces he is Chairtnan. Mr. Sulli- , ' van states gaily that the candidate j I of a third party "wouldn't have the I faintest chance of election" but i thinks it would help toward Repub-1 lican success. Presumably Mr. SullI ivan is as cognizant of Mr. Kirby s past record as any other veteran Washington correspondent. Six years ago we were all writing about the activities ot the Southern Tariff Association and the American Taxpayers League—the finances and functions of these two I were inextricably associated. Mr. i Kirby was president and John A. 1 Arnold was vice president and manager. The Caraway Investigation Committee went into the affairs of these concerns exhaustively. It ascertained that a million dollars had been collected by them—some of it by collectors who were said to have got 40 per cent of what they turned in. Senator Caraway reported that “there is in truth no such a thing as a Southern Tariff Association, or for that matter an American Taxpayers League.” He went on to say that the body had neither a constitution nor members and the Committee was never able to ascertain what was done with the money. Strangely enough neither Mark Sullivan nor the lesser lights of the Republican propaganda system made any reference to Mr. Kirby’s antecedents while recording his ! Constitution crusade. This “Constitution issue,’’ incidentally, is passing out of the pol- ' itical picture. The professional spell-binders and strategy mongers of the opposition party rarely refer I to it though for a time every Republican speech bristled with charges that the President was bent on wrecking the corner-stone in our structure of Government. The reason is not far to seek In the face of the steady increase in national prosperity, people could not be interested tn absurd distortions of the President's attitude, i The Liberty League's court of 58 i picked corporation lawyers, affecting to give an impartial forecast of , the Supreme Court's coming deci _ sions, fell flat, its grotesque pretense of lack of prejudice, by a group of attorneys who had received huge, fees to take the aitti-Gov-frnment side in various cases was I I jeered from one end of the couu-

I try to the other. . The journeymen propagandists began to talk of something else. But the theme has not been abandoned by those of slower thought. For example, one of the big Eastern industrialists sent every emi ploye a copy of me Constitution with a letter from the corporation president in which it was set forth that: "The spirit of encroachment tends to consolidate fne powers of all departments into one, and thus to create, whatever the form ot government, real despotism. The Supreme Court was acutely conscious of this very trend of eni croachment when it unanimously j declared the NRA unconstitutional ■ The newspaper publishers also feared for the freedom of the press when they protested a code that . would have put them under Feder- . al license.” The Supreme Court gave a very different reason for invalidating the NRA. nobody thoug’nt of interfering with the liberty of the press —and the publisher!? themselves framed the code provision especially guaranteeing that their constitutional rights should not be threatened. However, what is a mere matter ■ of accuracy to a partisan magnate bent on telling his employees how they should think politically?

NAZIS ENVISION AUSTRIAN CAIN By George I. Maranz. Vienna —(U.B-"Austria's lot will ibe decided in Ethiopia.'' has become the new motto of Austrian Socialists and Nazis. The conflict between Italy and Ethiopia has raised anew the expectations of both. Each tried to overturn the government by force, but without success. When the Socialists revolted against the government in February. 1934. they were convinced that all members of the party would take arms. But only the "Schutz-, I bund.” the Socialists’ military or ; ganization. obeyed the party’s call 1 1 to arms, and against the combined ; forces of the regular army, the | police and the Helmwehr they had no chance. Nazis Blunder Also The Austrian Nazis, who started their revolution in July, 1934. had had occasion to learn from the Socialists' blunders, but had profited little therefrom. After the suppression of the two revolts quiet once again reigned in Austria. Socialists and Nazis needed months to reorganize. Both i came to the conclusion that their predicament could be bettered only by world-shaking changes. Now both hope that Haile Sei- , assie will tight indirectly for their interest in Austria. Both hope and believe the Negus | will defeat the Italian army, but | each draws a different conclusion l from this defeat. See Fascism's End The Socialists prophesy the out-

break of a revolution in Italy when 11 Duce's defeated army returns home. The disaster of Italian Fascism will, in their opinion, upset the equilibrium of Europe and start a series of revolutions which will destroy not only the Austrian government but capitalistic society throughout the world. Only Hitler-Germany, according to the Nazis, and Soviet Russia, according to the Socialists, will emerge from the chaos with enhanced power. In this readjustment Austria, they both Tope and believe, will constitute only one bite for their respective social revolutionary crusades. o Widow Spider No Oddity Moberly. Mo.
