This community is going forward rapidly. In the proposed campaign of education by the G. O. P. we would like to know just how our liberties of speech and press have been kidnapped as charged. The G. O. P delegates at Cleveland devoted much time to originating songs and slogans. When the Democrats meet they might work up something like “Land on Landon and knock Knox.” Times are better for which every one should feel grateful and the ship of state is safe, regardless of the alarm spread by the orators this week. President Roosevelt is your friend and you can trust him to the limit. The fishing season comes in at Midnight Monday and the finny tribe will have to move fast and give little attention to attractive baits if they save themselves. A lot of the folks plan to be on hand •bright and early Tuesday morning. Regardless of what the politicians may say about youth and the chances for the lad or lassie, the fact remains that success is due largely to their own efforts. Wnatever the future holds, rest assured there is a place for you if you earn it. The police tell us that one of their troubles .is to keep people from parking in those spaces reserved for police cars. They don't wish to prosecute those who violate parking rules but the big task of taking care of this increase each week and drastic measures may be necessary soon. A word of warning should be sufficient. Well any way the Republicans were much more progressive in their platform than they have ever! been before, realizing that to meet modern problems, new methods must be used, ft by any chance they should win the election, they will find they have on hand quite a different job than Mr. Coolidge or the rest of them had a few years ago. The next cent it r y may show greater growth than has the past’ —— CHANGE OF ADDRESS Subscribers are request- 1 ed to give old and new address when ordering paper changed from one address to another. For example: If you change your address from Decatur R. R. 1 to Decatur R. R. 2, instruct us to change the paper from route one to route two. When changing address to another town, always give present address and new address.

one which we are to celebrate this i summer but they cannot fail to give due credit to those who fought the early battles. These are always the hardest and the foundation of a county or city is just as import- , ant as the foundation for a great building. Upon that rests everything. After all it just looks like the wigs of the Republican party don’t expect to win. It was far too easy for Mr. Landon. Can you imagine the New York and other eastern capitalists being for a man from the corn belt? The gesture is one with which they hope to turn the east against President Roosevelt by appealing to big business and break up the west by having a candidate from Kansas. Now it's up to the Democrats The state convention will open Monday and conclude Tuesday and a week later the delegates will gather in Philadelphia to renominate Roosevelt and Garner and write a platform that will appeal to the voters. The fact remains that the Democrats took over the reins of government at a time when the nation was in the depths of despair and by their efforts brought about much better conditions for every one. That will be hard to talk away. Au annual event, always of great I intefest, is occurring today— the thirteenth annual rural common school commencement. Today diplomas will be awarded 269 graduates who are now ready to enter their high school work. The address by Grover VanDuyn, assistant state superintendent of public instructions, contained many thoughts that should and will be long remembered. Mr. VanDuyn is one of the ablest school men in the state and has many enthusiastic admirers and supporters. Decatur will extend a real welcome to the Northern Indiana firemen when they meet here in their thirty-second annual convention next June. We have had this honor several times and the occasions have always been delightful for the local citizenry as well we hope, as for the firemen and their guests. It will mean the entertaining of a large crowd and much preparation but we are sure the local committee assisting the general committee from the association and the officials will be able to make the occasion a happy one. i o— King Not To Get Pension Edmonton.

DISPELLINGJTHE FOG Ry Charles Michelson j Director of Publicity, Democratic National Committee . i

An interesting question arises with the naming of a Republican candidate for the presidency. Will there be any change in the whispering campaign of detraction and vilification which has been such a feature of the pre-convention activities of the minority party? The reference is not to the wearisome repetition of the charges of extravagance, waste, movements towards depotism. instilling socialism, taking the protit motive out of industry aftd commerce, and the rest of the absurdities that frankly bear the label of the American Liberty League, and such auxiliaries as the Republican national committee. This being a political year the minority has got to make some sort of a campaign, and there being no way in which it can controvert the evidences ot returning prosperity, it has to take , some form of attack. Lacking facts, adjectives are the indicated alternative. So everything the administration does is described as sinister, subversive, dictatorial and a hundred other things that mean nothing. This course has the advantage of avoiding details. If the president points out that a Supreme Court decision compels a legislative alteration to bring enactments within the limits of the high tribunal's rulings, it is presented that he is fiendishly trying to undermine the people's faith in the judicial branch of the government. If the President sugi gests some form of legislation, he is diabolically planning to make the legislative branch a vassal of the executive. If he meets new and unanticipated governmental obligations with requests for new appropriations, he is violating his platform plank as to economy. If he. through his agencies, puts white-collar workers to the sort ot employment they are capable of undertaking, he is boon-doggling. If he didn’t do this he would be arraigned as being criminally callous as to the needs and necessities of tnose people. If he asks authority to relieve distress, which the

States say is beyond their resources, the minority party cries that he wishes to destroy States' lights and arrogate all government to the Federal establishment. If he didn’t do this, he would be accused of evading his responsibilities and of having no answer to the problems that his election imposed on him. Those things are all right, according to the habits and customs of a political campaign 1* could have made no difference whom the Republicans selected. Wo. are bound to hear the same sort of rubbish from now on until November. But there is another sort of "campaign" that has been particularly virulent during the pre-con-vention period. Nobody will acknowledge responsibility for it, though the senate committee hearing brought out that much of it was financed by members of the du Pout organization. Under the

auspices of fly-by-night outfits, each of which consisted of nothing but. a name and a collection agency, I there have been brought into the political fray racial ana religious prejudice. All the malodorous anti-Roose- ( velt propaganda indecencies of thej, '32 campaign have been resurrect-1, ed in one form or another. You get them through the mails in i, pamphlet form, alleged business' letters, and leaflets, destitute of any imprint that might reveal i their source. Some of them con- j cern the President’s health, and mental condition — both of which. I incidentally, are excellent. The latest resurrection is of certain advertisements of an investment corporation with which he was connected before he' became governor of New York. This had ; to deal with German marks, and the inference is that Franklin D. Roosevelt was affiliated with the sort of concern that skinned the investing public so lavishly in the pre-Roosevelt era. This was answered in 1932 by the report of the attorney who attended to the liquidate nos the company* and who was by the way a Republican who voted for Herbert Hoover. The i lawyer told that no American dol-1 lars were jeopardized in the pro-1 cess of buying German industrial shares with German marks—many millions of which had been held in this country. The mark went down to nothing, which the investments paid the holders of common stock • something like eight dollars for ! | every two they had put in. The shares had cost them $2. It has I even been stated that the Roosevelt wealth was based on this proi eeediug, though every New York ier knows that the President's mod- > est fortune dates back several generations. I It appeared during the pre-eon- . vention period that no story was s | too ridiculous to loosen up the i purse-strings of those who started i j out to discredit the President. - i Obviously, somebody paid for all ■ the printing, all the advertising,;

and all the overhead of the enterprises that put them into circulation. If the President went on a fishing trip on a friend's yacht he was arraigned for playing in with the rich. If he went on a government ship he was accused of squandering the government s money for his own pleasure. Every President has gone on cruises in a warshito —Mr. Hoover even toured South America, employing two of them before he had taken office as President. Mr. Coolidge went to Cuba and back in the same way. Why not? A warship has to cruise, and it takes no more coal or oil bej cause a President is on board. When President Hoover sent the I horses of the White House stables ' bachTTo Fort Myer because he did i not care for horse back riding, the I then ex President Coolidge dryly ' commented. “I suppose they won't ' eat as many oats on the Virginia side of the Potomac.” It is all pretty trivial, and might be counted as beneath the dignity of a Presidential campaign, but i we have had that sort of thing in larger doeses this time than ever before. So it is interesting to speculate on whether the minority party's ' candidate is going to permit that sort of thing to continue, or will conduct the campaign on the real issues of government. Os course, he can let it go on as it has gone i on, disclaiming responsibility for | the whisperings to which he can I put a stop if he wants to. But if ‘ he should do the latter, what are the du Pont Liberty Leaguers going to do with their money, for the regular coffers of the Republicans are already stuffed with all they can us legitimately. o License Non-Negotiable Martinez, Cal. —(UP)* A girl dashed into the county clerk’s office with a strange man and a marriage .license and asked to be imarried.
