This tnay be a government of three divisions, executive, legislative and judicial but just now it looks as though the last named was the most powerfttl. You surely don't want to miss the news items of the next twelve months. Indications are they will bo interesting and more exciting than Action. Renew now for the, Daily Democrat. That man whose car hit a bridge and skidded over the edge und, who was rescued when a trailer hitched on behind, caught on tbe vail and held, will surely always know he was a lucky guy. Those who think they are reducing overhead when they refuse to advertise are of course as wrong in 1936 as they ever were. They! will be surprised how rapidly sales fall off when they don't tell the public what they have to interest them. So much mystery has been given the Hauptmann case that the general public would certainly appreciate the concluding chapter to the story. We still believe it was a one man job hut It would be fine if Bruno or sonic one else would give the real dope. Tlic more the partisaus assail' President Roosevelt and the more! vicious the attacks are, le more 1 the people are for him. He has demonstrated his desire to help the “forgotten man’’ and has done so, even though prevented some by other agencies of government. Out of sixteen serious automobile accidents which occurred in Fort Wayne the first ten days of this month, all hut one could have been avoided with cure. Surely) there is something wrong when we go dashing on in the pell moll way. Look out, the next victim may he you. Officials have discovered that the terrible accident south of Huntington a few days ago was due to the icy pavement and the fact that the drivers put on their brakes too quickly, which however doesn't prevent the sufferings of those injured or restore to life the four persons who were killed. It is surpnsfnglo learn that taking into consideration the gross income taxes, intangibles, liquor taxes and all the rest of them, the amount raised and spent annually in Indiana is $31,000,00P less Ilian three years ago. Which ought to convince every one that the administration is milking a real saving. Without the loss of time, Presi dent Roosevelt and his aides, with tlie assistance of a hundred farm leaders, have worked out a plan of rental fees to take the place of tin; recoil I AAA, which was shelved by the supreme court decision, if is believed tiie new plan will do every Hnug the old one did and will prove constitutional. I

| The next several months will bo enlivened by the primary campaign, which is already waxing hot tn the state. With several candidates on each side and many more contemplating the high dive Into the contest, with headquarters being opened daily and with the friends and backers of the various aspirants getting busy, we will be right into It up to our necks before we realize it. The General Electric, always ' alive and progressive, have instiI luted a campaign to reduce the , accident toll this year. A united ) effort to make 1936 outstanding in accident prevention has been started and will continue throughout the year. Other plants can well afford to follow them for it is surprising how many acetdents can he avoided if proper caution Is taken in advance. During the past four or five years, those delinquent in taxes, have been permitted to ride along This year however the county treasurers are required to conduct the regular sale of delinquent prop i ertles. except in those cases where property owners followed the new j law and paid their current taxes. It will be well for those who know they are delinquent to plan to pay same before next month when the sale must be conducted under the law I _ - 1 CHURCH REVIVALS | First Evangelical A full house greeted the evangelist at th? First Evangelical church at both services Sunday. At the morning service the Rev. Ernest F. Roesti spbke on “Re-thinking the Church’”. He said: "We need to re-think tbe church in terms sf -spiritual times, iWe have tried organizations, cnl- ' true and social reformation, but we ' need the spiritual power of a revival I of a life given God in the hearts of i the people.” i Sunday night Rev. Roesti spoke : ou “The passion of Jesus to Save ithe Lost.” The evangelist sang in . a most eeffective manner; "The Ninety And Nine,” Rev. Roesti will sing and ipreach each night this week at 7 o’clock. Bible study will be held Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday afternoons from 2 to 3 o'clock.

ENTIRE SHIP’S (roNTINVBD FhJMIIX.AGEJONE), jnile'un hour wind at the mouth of the river early Sunday morning. When Capt. Edgar L. Yates, veteran skipper, took out the freiffh-, ter from Portland Saturday night,, the weather was normal. There | was rain and some wind but nothing to presage the tragedy that was to follow. i The wind literally picked up the 416-fool freighter like a feather, and tossed it on the dread spit. Maritime authorities were invest!-1 gating reports that Yates neglected to secure a pilot to take him, over the river bar. But it was be-1 lieved that with or without a pilot the lowa could not have avoided the sands which pulled her to her death. Frank Caidwell, radio operator, I sent out a feeble S. O. S. at 3: 49 a. m. It wag the last call from the freighter. I ' The coast guard cutter Candaga answered from Astoria but the storm drove her back time and again and it was six hours later that she finally approached the scene. Commander R- S. Patch brought the 1,000-ton Onandaga within 1,500 yards of the lowa, close enough for him to observe through glasses that there was no living man aboard As Commander Patch attempted to mamneuver closer, a towering wave smashed two lifeboats on the cutter and swept away the stacks and bridge of the lowa. Before Patch turned the Onandaga's back toward the Columbia, only the foremast of the lowa remained above the waves.
