American flags should be displayed tomorrow by those patriotically inclined. It is Constitution Day. While most schools show a decline in enrollments this year, Kirkland high comes through with 102, which is a gain of fifteen over last year and the highest in their history. The Chicago Cubs don't seem to be able to shake off the jinx that has knocked them from a sevengame lead in the National pennant race. Perhaps they are saving up for the tilt next week with the Giants. Wells county will celebrate the Centennial anniversary riext Wednesday, a special program being given in connection with the annual street fair. Governor Townsend and Lieut.-Governor Schricker, will be the principal speakers. Taxes are never popular but we are sure the low rates fixed for next year will please much more than those in the old days when the assessments and rates were both about double what they are today. The state administration deserves credit for it, along with your local officials. on selfishly, wanting to get in but ness horses, drove his "grey ghost,” Greyhound, around tb» state fair ground track, a mile and a half in 3:0214, reducing the world record nearly ten seconds, the old record being 3:l2'* and he did it against a stiff wind and a track not considered fast. If the weather is right he will go against Peter Manning s record of 1:56%, tomorrow and many think he can beat it. The Manning record was made in 1022. The Spanish revolution should teach the world a lesson —that no nation that is divided can long stand. Eventually one or the other side will win but the once rich and powerful country will be ruined for centuries to come. Japan and China are at war. European nations look on selfishly, wantin gto get in but fearing another world war. The United States can afford any thing rather than any participation in a foreign war and that we feel sure is the feeling of almost every citizen. Five thousand Americans are in acute danger in the Shanghai legion and it is the hope of every one that they escape the terrific bombardments and the varied forms of attack now on there, but after all they seem to be there by choice for they have been warned time and again and offered passage out of the war stricken country. To send an army of a million or so over there would mean a greater loss of life no doubt and would embroil us in a war that might test a decade. Mary Brown Warburton, granddaughter of the late John Wanamaker, had every thing to make her happy, health, plenty of money, good looks, social connections and friends, but she dreaded gett-

ing heavy. She weighed 190 pounds and began a diet and took a course of tablets to make her slim and girlish. A maid found her lifeless body in the bath room and police say the cause may have been the tablets. It's dangerous to oppose nature and those who attempt to reduce by uny other means than exercise and a careful diet, take chances of meeting the same end that Miss Warburton did. Raymond Fortune, 26 year-old Marion man, is ready to die tomorrow when his final hour arrives at the state prison. He had the opportunity to make good In this great land but chose a life of crime. He was walking down a Fort Wayne street and saw through a window a group of men playing cards. He walked in with gun in hand and demanded the money and when Orris Dokken tried to knock the revolver from his hand, he shot and killed him, pouring several shots into his body after he fell. Fortune would give every thing today it he could go back a couple of years and live it over. Crime doesn't pay. The charge that Justice Black was and perhaps is a member ot the Ku Klux Klan seems to be creating quite a furore and may have come from those who wish to make President Roosevelt's proposed tour of the country as unpopular as they can. It would seem preferable if justices of the supreme court of the United States were chosen from federal or state supreme courts, promoting those whose records could be security without difficulty, but that has not been the rule. The President is wisely refusing to give an opinion until Mr. Black returns from a vacation in Europe and makes a statement of his own. Tomorrow is Constitution Day. marking the 150th anniversary of the signing of that important docu- . ment. It was signed September 17th, 1787 and ratified June 21, 1788. George Washington was inaugurated as the first president April 30, 1789. President Roosevelt in a proclamation has designated the period beginning tomorrow and continuing until April 30, 1939, as one of commemoration. The anniversary will from time to time be observed in various ways by schools, service organizations and clubs and every good citizen will recognize the constitution as "an enduring instrument fit for the governing of a farflung population of more than a hundred and thirty million, engaged in diverse and varied pursuits, even as it was fit for the governing of a small agrarian nation of less than four million." While its editorial page weeps, about the amount of the national debt, The Chicago Daily News — Col. Frank Knox's paper—proudly boa'sts in an advertisement on the front cover of a recent issue of The Editor and Publisher that its July circulation was 434,330 daily, the largest in history, and marked the 24th month that The News circulation had shown a gafn. From its own circulation figures The News presents the best argument in favor of the national debt. It is — the ability to pay. Five years ago the Hoover administration didn't spend money for recovery, and the nation didn't recover. The Roosevelt administration did spend money, and the nation is recovering. Looking at the ledger of Col. Knox’s paper now and five years ago, you would find the ability to pay has increased in far greater ratio than the national debt. Col. Knox has built his great fortune by going into debt for newspapers. And he has succeeded because the venture carried with it the profits that enabled him to pay off. Just so has recovery brought. increased profits that have justified the nation going into debt. • o Roy Baker of Bluffton, in chargo of this road district was here today, arranging the detour ■while the hbanoe street bridge is being repaired.

Only three new cases were reported today. Nineteen hvae died and 51 have been stricken since Aug 1. “Most of the infantile paralysis cases reported have occurred among children ot elementary grade ages.” Bundesen reported.

Man Is Severely Beaten By i Own Wife Wednesday Night

Two men In recent mouths have saved themselves great physical » injuries by rolling under a car. The first instance was during the Decatur Free Street Fair and Agri cultural show, when an exhibitor’s' bull escaped him during a parade and forced him to roll under a car. I • Wednesday night at 6:30 o'clock, . Owen Lalnhart, a Cairo, Illinois.' man rollsd under an automobile at the corner of First and Monroe streets to escape well aimed kicks of his infuriated wife, who had al- j .. ready knocked him down and given him two black eyes. ’ The family disturbance started | earlier in the day. Mrs. Lalnhart j had been in the city for several ' weeks and Mr. Lalnhart had just returned from Chicago. An argument culminated in the fight. The few witnesses were so engrossed in the fight they failed to call the police until after Mr. Lain-. i hart had been severely beaten, ' kicked and scratched, with no holds 1 ‘ ’ > old banker chosen as chairman by’ I the committee here last month, is I II not acceptable to the G.

After he fell to the street she continued kicking him as long as she could reach hhn, before he rolled to the curb under the car. 1 Police arrested him a few feet I from the car but Mrs. Lalnhart disI appeared when she heard the siren. ' He was placed in jail. 1 About midnight farmers reported to police that a woman had been seen a few minutes before in the ' alley behind Elberson’s service sta- : tion. After searching for some time they located her soated on the ' postoffice steps. She is alleged to have cursed the ' officers when they talked to her. ! When told she would be locked up with her husband she is reported to have said: "I will scratch his eyes out." She was placed in a separate jail cell. Officers Adrian Coffee and Roy Chilcote stated that charges of ' public intoxication will be filed against the couple. ! elation will be held, Friday, Sept. 24. when a Republican orator of note will speak. This will be the one meeting free to the public#— and the state committee —and unless the present party bosses change their attitude toward their next year's work, the editors apparently will not share any of the responsibility for the election s result. . ■ o ————— Toledo —<U.R>—On a selected 21.-000-acre tract ot land, city and county health and sanitary officials will conduct a test drive against mospitoes. me o ild s Fever l iquid, Tablets, Salve first day Vow Drops Headache, 30 minutes.
