Canada is adding to its fighting equipment, probably for no good reason except that if every other nation does, who are they to sit by and watch the world divide up the weaker countries. The Supreme Court supported the New Deal in another decision yesterday, indicating they are still of the opinion that many of these measures are within the bor.ndar-■ ies of the statutes and rights. Those two congressmen who are meddling in Spain may have some business there but the average American citizen has an idea that any arrangements favorable to the Loyalists or the Rebels should be made through the diplomatic department of the government. Any talk about big business having no faith in the future should be dispelled by the fact that the General Electric will erect a large addition to their local plant. This community will continue to grow and those who are wide awake and willing to do their part, will go along. The south is not for the wage and hour bill nor for that matter are many in the north. The proposed bill may not pass but the agitation is sure to work to the benefit of those who labor. The. coming session of congress may be as interesting as the last. It's something when a nation discusses its problems. There is nothing new about the fall rains. We have been having them ever since there was a middle west section of the temperate zonrand will continue to have them. We will also have some nice autumn weather yet and then some bleak November and some cool winter. That’s the way the old clock goes around. Not the least of the football up-1 i sets last week end was the victory of Indiana over Illinois but there, were others just as surprising. Carnegie took Notre Dame in <■ ( lucky scrimmage, Yule beat the Army and Minnesota smothered Michigan. It makes it tough guess ing for the fans as to just what will happen before the season over. Advertising is necessary and consequently a newspaper that circulates in the trading radius of a good city it, needed We claim the Daily Democrat covers this terri-

' tory and does it completely. A circulation of 3,500 and a coverage iu Decatur in excess of the number lot homes, gives you the daily opportunity to tell the people what you have to sell. Try it and we believe you will believe in it. Alf M. Landon. Republican nomli nee for president in last year's 1 election will speak over the radio on "certain questions of the day.” He probably won't attempt to say I what he thinks got wrong with Maine and Vermont. Mr. Landon, is because of his recent candidacy. I considered the titular head of his party and as such, of course, has I the right to speak. His address will be listened to by many. Dalhover who was supposed to be the bad man, the killer of the Brady gang is about the meekest individual imaginable now it is said by his jail keepers. He is ' penitent and so cowardly that he appears to be "yellow’’ as are most of these bandits who are so brave I when they hold a machine gun or automatic while their victim is unarmed. J. Edgar Hoover sized them' up as "yellow rats" and that definition ills a bout as well as any. William R. Mathews, editor and publisher of the Arizona Daily Star. Tuscon, Ariz., who has just completed a tour of the old conn-j try has published a thirty-six pag> ’ tabloid entitled "Around a Seeth j ing World in which he gives his . views ot Japan, China, Siberia. I Poland, Germany, France and otli- ’ er nations that have big problems I and it’s a story worth the time and | close scrutiny of any one interest-1 ed in what is going on iu the world j and why. According to the Gallup poll, the American public does not believe that President Roosevelt can balance the budget during the next year. Perhaps not but the chief has away of fooling those who think they know all about some- ' thing that he has charge of. Remember there is a large income for Uncle Sam right now and there has been some real savings in , various departments that denotes a thrift that has not been much in evidence during the days when a new circulation of money was need.ed to start things moving. It is not impossible that the budget may be balanced sooner than many people feel it is possible. The miuutes we save by excessive speed are pitifully few in the light of the risk involved. A short time ago a test was made in Chicago. A radio announcer was told to drive his car on an eightmile trip through heavy traffic, observing not only traffic regulation. but every rule of courtesy. At the same time, a police officer 1 followed the same route under instructions to take every risk and reach thh destination in the short--1 est possible time. Twenty-three ■ minutes later the reckless driver pulled in at the stopping point. The safe, supposedly slow driver, who had taken no risks at all. got there exactly two minutes later.
