You don’t have long to plan for it- the big street fair and agricultural show opens three weeks from today. The public never upholds violence and it is not surprising that opinion is turning against such tactics in connection with the strikes throughout the country. The Red Men were an enthusiastic crowd and during the convention demonstrated a true fra-; ternal spirit. This brotherly fool-1 ing is needed in all walks of life and should not be confined to lodge circles and lodge rooms. The community again extends birthday wishes to Mrs. Elizabeth Speheger of Graigvilie, who last Saturday celebrated her 105th an- i niversary. Enjoying good health, able to walk and mentally alert, Mrs. Speheger still enjoys life and her only regret is that she can t work on the farm as she did more than 50 years ago. We say she. has’’earned a rest. Although federal government employes are privileged to join any union they desire, they cannot i strike against tho government. Collective bargaining privileges granted to employes under the. Wagner act are not extended to federal employes and President Roosevelt has told them so. The President's statement should allay all fears that those on the federal pay roll walk out and let the government set, or in other words re-. volt against it. It's a little early to talk politics,! but that's one subject that is always popular in Indiana and the writers are trotting out a few of the boys for places on the Demo-, crat state ticket. Among those | mentioned favorably are Frank G.

Thompson of Bluffton for secretary of state. Mr. Thompson has served two terms in the legislature and in the last session was majority floor leader. Ho knows state government and has a wide following in this part of the state. The electric and water departments of the city plant will coop erate in every way with the Street Fair association and provide their service* and utilities wherever necessary. The electric department will erect special lights at the principal street Intersections and decorative lights will be placed at points selected by the committee. Decatur believes in lighting up and the city departments have always done a splendid job when it comes to putting on the "best dress” for visitors. Federal income tax receipts for the year ending June 30 in Indiana amounted to $13,688,000. an increase of more than five million over a year ago. The payments are conclusive evidence that income was increased during the year or the tax wouldn't have been more. The total of internal revenue in the state was more than 87 million dollars for the fiscal year, distilled spirits tax being the largest, totaling more than 29 million dollars. We talk a lot by taxes when a direct levy is made, but turn around and spend more for commodities which carry B heavy tax. Have you taken a drive over the streets and noticed their good state of repair? The department is completing the job of patching worn out stretches and where possible relaying the bricks to eliminate chuck holes and bumps in the pavement. The program is being carried out as far as funds permit and every effort is being made to repair the worst places first. Heavy traffic throughout the city takes its toll and the streets : show wear from time to time, i which will always be as long as ' autos and trucks are the medium of transportation. West Monroe i street is being put back in shape as rapidly as the curb is replaced, J following the construction of a I sewer on the south side of the | right of way, — I The Bluffton News-Banner is ■ making headway on its special ■ Centennial edition to be issued in I September. An elaborate edition is being planned, consisting of many sections of historical writeiup and features. One section will I be devoted to Paul Dresser, famous Hoosier song writer and the ' immortal song composed by him, i “On the Banks of the Wabash. ’ Bluffton is planning a one-day celebration of the city's one hundredth birthday in connection with its annual street fair and Governor ■ Townsend has been invited to de- | liver the principal address. Decatur extends birthday greetings to j its friendly neighbor and around I this newspaper office we know that the News-Banner's Centennial edition will be an outstanding accomplishment in anniversary edij tions.

Simmons, commissioner of the department of conservation, pointed out today. Until the end of the present year Indiana residents can obtain licenses good for both hunting and fishins for SI.OO from county clerks and designated agents. The 1938 resident hunting and fishing license combined will be $15.0 under terms of an act of tho 1937 general assembly. There has been some confusion reported due to a misunderstanding as to the date when the higher license fee became effective.

Just stand on any street intersection, or at any crossroad, or along [the country road and note the acI tions of some of these crazy automolbilO drivers. They think they i have exclusive rights to the high way and that all other automobile • drivers and pedestrians have absolutely no rights at all. Os course, the automobile driver t has certain rights prescribed by law, but to violate all acts of decency by excessive speed, by cutti Ing in and out, and by endangering > the lives of .pedestrians and other automobile drivers, is not anybody’s 1 , right.
