Renew your subscription to the, Daily Democrat if it is due and you haven't done so. You guessed - it—we need the money. After all is it so much worse to talk about the supreme court than it is to "cuss'' the senate and congress and abuse the president? Alter all it should be a three-way government that works. Frank Nagel, leader of American men’s fashions says a well dressed man should spend an amount equal to one days wages i>er week for clothes. That's tine, but remember the rest of the family can’t wear tig leaves in this day and age. Purdue and Indiana with great basketball teams do not seem to click just right. They show championship form but lose occasionally to teams not rated so high and are out of the race for the lead. Michigan gave Purdue a 31-16 drubbing Monday night. In several central Indiana towns and cities the police are having difficulty in apprehending sneak thieves who rob cars on Saturday evenings, taking the groceries and other articles purchased for the weeks' supply. A dose of tar and feathers would be a good cure for such culprits. If some one would start a program to stop strikes and settle down to business, permitting the Nation to go ahead with her prosperity program, he would do a valuable service and be about the most popular man in the country. Unless something o’s that kind is accomplished we may be headed for some troubles that will be anything but pleasant. The human body is a most peculiar gadget it seems. A Mrs Inez Greer. 42, went to Chicago to take treatment for her heart, became jittery and jumped from a ninth story window, breaking both legs and in juring her back but is reported to have a fifty-fifty chance to recover. What do you suppose became of her heart trouble? Per-! haps the flight and the light frightened it away. Subscription renewals continue to roll in and we are very proud and happy over the results so tar.’ CHANGE OF ADDRESS Subscribers are requested 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 addreag and new address.

j There are still a few of our old ! reliables who have neglected to ! attend to thia duty no Important ‘to us and to them alxo. The daye are filled with interesting newa '• that we want to give you and at t the low coat of three dollars per ! year by mail, we are sure you just * can't afford to be without the home t paper. A number of new houses will be I J built the next few mouths and ) work on plans have started. One > well known citizen expects to build * a dozen residences, if there is a > I demand for them, erecting two at * a time and the contract for the i first two was signed today. Oth- ' era are planning projects aud you ' may expect a busy season if noth|mg interfers. Local capital as well as material locally purchased will be used, adding to the attractiveness of the arrangements. A hundred proposed laws to govern drunken drivers have been inI traduced and are now pending in thirteen states, including several bills in our own legislature. If there is any way to stop this dangerous form of murder by legisla- ' tion, we should of course enact | such laws and this will be done, but it is well to remember that no ' laws work unless they are enforced. Giving the limit of penalties instead of the minimum would probably be more effective than any other steps that can be taken. We have concluded with much entertainment and pleasure ex-, Senator Jim Watson's first and only story, "As I knew them,” a i panorama of nearly fifty years in public life, in which he cites many, incidents, gives the inside of the characters of notables, including a half dozen presidents and concludes with the warning that the consti-J tution must be perpetuated and the powers of the courts continued inviolate if the nation is to go in the ; future as it has iu the past. It's ' excellent history and very read-1 able. A bill to appropriate SSOO,DIM) tol j rebuild the city of Jeffersonville has been introduced in the legislature and has considerable support. Os course if that is passed, otjier | devastated cities and counties have a right to expect similar treatment and it looks like a very dangerotts precedent. We sympathize wilji those who have suffered from ths' floods and believe every one should | give as much as he can to aid the I sufferers but we doubt if any state, government could long withstand > the demands that might follow if such actions were established as I now asked from the legislature. Governor M. Clifford Townsend is to be complimented upon early action in the strike crisis at Ander-1 son. In calling the National Guard and placing Madison county under military control, he showed the! Nation that in at least one state • no group of men could over power. the law enforcement agencies. Up-' on the first provocation, he placed men in Anderson that could handle , the situation and keep outsiders' from entering the city. Now An I derson is peaceable without the 1 loss of life. Agitators are forced ' i out of the state with a lesson they will not torket. Governor Townsend used the same tactics in the flood crisis along the Ohio river and again Indiana set up a record I for meeting a crisis in an efficient j manner. — Hendricks County Re-1 ■ publican. o Answers To Test j j Questions I Below are the answers to the Test Questions printed on Page Two ♦ i 1.

Those who believe that have not a true conception or realization of the actual iseuee inducing that strike. We have but a truce and the G M strike was but a skirmish compared to the riofis and battles that will come soon between industry and labor unless something is done to side track it. Here is the main issue. Which rhall predominate, labor or employers? Or -in other words who shall be boss, the employer or the men he hires. The General Motors strike was but a test case to try '.he strength of organized labor to frighten and eventually dominate all industry in this country. That is the situation in a nutshell. Now organized labor is but a small portion of the working people, yet it is trying to rule all by being lhe leaven that stirs up all workers., As witness the recent example at Anderson, Ind. Here agitators were imported from other states to foment trouble among Anderson’s own workers and our noble governor wisely deported these very • same trouble makers. Whereupon these agitators appealed to the President of the U. S to aid them. Just think of it, asking the President to aid them in stirring up civil strife. Has organized labor lost its mental equilibrium that it asks law and order to side with it or is it already on the side of law and order? And are the principles it stands for as pure and unselfish as a new born babe? As Lewis articulates? and also what will be the ultimate effect upon the entire country? This last question is the important one ye’, millions of Americans while discussing the G. M. sit down strike gave it not a thought. The answers to these questions will show that this winters strikes are but the beginning of a tremendous labor upheaval. And the peculiar part of it is that Lewis of the United Mine Workers has the law ■ on his side. Did that surprise any-, one? But how about his motives? I will answer that one by asking another- If Lewis was but trying to correct bad labor conditions why j did n’t he put his pressure to the p’ace where labor conditions were' bad instead of selecting an industry! that wages were the highest in the world? And why select the present • time for a sit-down when the vast majority of workers not only were willing to but wanted to work and help bring back prosperity? Answer Lewis first, country second. Lewis I thought it good strategy to try and | place the G. M. before the country

as being guilty of turning oft over 150,000 workers. He thought the country would bring privteure on the G. M. to hurry and meet Lewis terms. But the country reacted as Lewis's selfish motives were quite apparent and from having the O. M. I [on the spot Lewis is also on the | spoils this argument still as clear as mud? Would it be any clearer it it, was understood that the consumer i will henceforth be ground between two giant forces, capitol and labor until one succumbs? And what is the key to the entire situation? The
