If the first three days of March 4t I govern the next three months, we are in for a very pleasant spring. The weather couldn't be much nicer than it lias been for this much accused month of March. About eight hundred bills have been introduced in the legislature, which is about twenty per cent less than has been usual the last several sessions. And only a small portion of the SUU ever got out of commtitee. Mrs. Roosevelt is not a candidate for president in 194 U nor is she for any other woman. She says the time for a woman as president has not arrived. So those who fear the family will hold over may get that out of their heads. President Roosevelt will speak to the citizens of America tomorrow and again on the evening of the 9th. He will be listened to with interest and he will have something worth while hearing, it his prior fireside chats are a criterion. Tile Oklahoma girl who struck for ten dollars a week increase in her pay and sat on the floor one whole day gave it up as a poor sales act. Her boss said he was sorry, but not forty dollars a month worth, put on his hat and went to dinner. Actuaries tells ns that the average adult of 35 has seventeen mil-' lion minutes to live. Every time ' that adult takes a chance in traffic to save one minute he bets all his remaining years on the outcome. That's bad odds, 17,000,000 to one. If you play that game, you are sure to lose. Governor Townsend writes that he is planning to be here the ISth and knows he will enjoy meeting the good people of Adams county. We are sure the people here will also enjoy meeting him. He is a regular feller' and likes nothing better than getting over the state, studying the problems of the people and greeting old and new friends. Democratic dinners will be served in hundreds of cities throughout the land tomorrow evening, the idea being to earn a profit with which the deficit of the national 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 address and new address.

committee can be met and a few dollars left in the treasury for current expenses. While no dinner will be served here, those who so desire are given the opportunity to subscribe what they wish to 1 give, the entire amouut to be sent in as TJie quota for this county. 1J Cowardly, uncalled for und un- ' sportsmanlike was the attack of I Pete Cancilla, Indianapolis lawyer • on Wayne Coy, state welfare di- , rector, in the state house, Monday i afternoon. Cancilla hasn't a very 1 good record and certainly can have I: i uo excuse for his actions in beat-; Ing up Mr, Coy. The attack was| the result of a disagreement over the proposed county welfare bill I The merits or demerits of that bill i does not enter into this affair. Good citizens will not favor tisti cuffs to frighten those who work honorably for those matters in which they believe. Cancilla should 1 be punished and the Marion county bar should promptly and decisively pass upon his fitness as a member thereof. A timely opinion has been hand-' i ed down by Attorney General Omer S. Jackson upholding the right of the Indiana highway commission to limit loads on soft and weakened highways. A 1931 statute was cited as conferring power on the commission to make such regulations, which then have the full power of law. Previous legisla-, tive enactments already have given j the commission the authority to I issue rules not only governing truck loads, but also covering oper-l ation of motor vehicles in a manner to promote general safety. 1 Tlie attorney general's opinion not only accords with the unquestioned intent of the statues, but is sound in principle as a necessary element in the campaign to make Hoosier highways safer. — Indianapolis Star. Hoosier Democrats are lookiug . forward, to the banquet of the Indiana Democratic Editorial Asso- ; , ciation which will be held in the ‘ Claypool Hotel at Indianapolis on Saturday night, April 10. The banquet, which is always the higli point of winter Democratic polfli- ‘ cal activities, was originally set for February 6, but was postponed on account of the Ohio River flood. The new date was voted by the I directors a few days ago. Speak-. ers at the dinner W’Jl be Governor M. Clifford Townsend and the two Indiana senators, Frederick Van-, Nuys and Sherman Minton. Form- ; er Governor Paul V. McNutt was ' scheduled to speak, but he will be ' en route to the Philippine Islands to take over the post of high commissioiter and cannot attend. Ot> the afternoon of April 10 the editors will hold a business session at which time resolutions will be adopted and 1937-38 officers elect- ; ed. We are low in spirits as we rec-i ord the death of another near and dear friend, Dick Miller of Indianapolis. Forty years ago we met him and the acquaintance ripened : into a friendship that existed through the years. Dick Miller' was an outstanding citizen of Indianapolis and the state. He enjoyed a wide acquaintance and had the talent of meeting people well, remembering them and serving them. He was known as an expert bond man, banker, real estate investor, headed the Chamber of ’ Commerce, Rotary, Athletic and [other clubs and organizations in ■ tlie capitol city. During the World War he was chairman of numerous activities and until his health I ! broke a year or so ago, he was | one of the energetic men of Indi- . ana. He was a loyal friend who I could always he depended upon, a wonderful husband and father anu I a man among men. It's hard to say good-bye to old “Silver” Dick. * TODAY S COMMON ERROR * ’ Never say. “It was superior in II every way than the other one;" ' i say. “to the other one."
