Thirty-eight years ago yesterday the battleship Maine was blown up in the Havana harbor and led to the declaration of war with I Spain. Winter insists on holding the fort and so far the youngster. Spring, has bad no chance to even stick out an ear. Old timers pre duet an early spring bower, which is the only ray oj hope to be extend at this time. Ten below and not much signs of a break, but spring will be just that much more welcome when it does arrive, in the meantime there is much sltffefing and severe financial loss as the water and gas pipes freeze and the coal famine continues in many sections. While Indiana doesn't seem to favor daylight saving time, it is possible that such a thing may result. Governor McNutt will send a representative to a hearing in Chicago the 24th. when the interstate commerce commission will listen to arguments pro and con. Guess they are having a war over in Ethiopia. According to reports from Italy, 20,000 of the Ethiopians were killed or injured in the bloodiest battle since the conflict started. Tin scene was at Enderta where it is claimed 100.000 natives were routed in the fierce fight. Business is raring to go and will, us soon as the. ice and snow lets go sufficiently to permit it. Since the holidays the public lias been pretty weii wintered tip but every one is looking forward to spring for the best business in years You ran get your share bygetting ready for it and then advertising in tile Daily Democrat. The race for the Democratic, nomination lor governor is an interesting one. witli the various candidates working in a friendly though earnest manner. Lieutenant Governor Townsend lias an or ganizatioa in each county and is making progress while the others at" likewise getting busy, in hopes of securing friendly delegations. Ilie convention will be held June IGIh at Indianapolis. • C. Furnas of Yale University, a former Hoosier, has written "The Next Hundred Years," in which he sets out a list of things science is trying to fathom and which may occur in that period. We don’t know what is going to occur Hie ii' a! century but vv< do know that n lot has happened the past hundred years and Decatur proposes to observe its progress during that period with a big Centennial. The Supreme Court of the United States has ruled that the TVA is constitutional, upholding one of the most important parts of the

New Dual, giving the right to build Wilson Dant, to sell power, to build transmission lines and to transport power to n reasonable market. The decision will be a set back to those who argued that this high court was playing politics and to those who hoped they would hold every New Deal law to be bud. The Indiana Democratic Editorial banquet, held at Indianapolis Saturday evening, was declured by many to have been the most enthusiastic and the largest in history. Senator Barkley of. Kentucky mad-' a powerful speech, explaining Hie purposes of national legislation and defying the opponents to declare against any of the major acts. Governor McNutt was at his best and Senators VauNuys and Minton, as usual, sold themselves to the big crowd. Much credit is due District Superintendent Baker, in charge of the Bluffton territory which includes Adams and a part of Huntington county, for the excellent way in which the roads have been taken care of during the severe ’ winter weather. While this has been the toughest year since the highway commission was organized. tlie roads in this territory have | been kept open continuously. It j you drive over the territory, you I will have no difficulty in telling | when you are in tlie Baker disi trist. His men have not only reI moved the snow but they have in : most instances also been able to ■ keep the roads cleared of ice and I the boys in Adams county have [ been as good as any of them. Governor Paul V. McNutt introduced the speakers at tlie editorial banquet Saturday evening and i before doing so gave the editors j and their guests the low down on present conditions in Indiana. ■ which by the way. are the best in i any state in Hie Union. Tlie govI ernor again demonstrated his lead- ( ■ ersliip ;Uid his ability lor that I place, in the years to come he I will be recognized as one of the II outstanding men of ins time. His administration lias been one of 11 many innovations for the good of I his people and the reduced taxes. the fait that the state is out of debt and has a leu million dollar . balance, indicates his success. He . is recognized Hom Maine to Cali- . fornia as a great governor, a vvoudI erful orator and a natural leader. 0 TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY From the Daily Democrat File ♦ ♦ February 18, 1916. —The name of I the interurban company is changed from Fort Wayne A Springfield ' to Fort Wayne and Decatur.

Lli.P.) 1 The senate today rejected a proposal that congress work out a permanent neutrality program at this session instead of extending ilie present temporary law until ' May 1. 1937. The vote was G1 to 16. \n amendment, by Sen. Bennett t hamp Clark. D.. Mo., providing for a three months extension with Hie iinileistanding that the time b<' used to formulate a permanent [policy was drafted. He proposed that the extension be only until June 1. 1936.

Nye. however, was absent from the city as tlie proposal came up and the neutrality debate got i under way. ■ The Clark amendment was de
