The duke and duchess of Windsor may cancel the proposed tour of this country. They have no desire to stir up any trouble or to cause the CIO any anxieties. 1 C. B. Clayton, aged ninety, Los Angeles, is suing his wife for a divorce and demanding alimony. There's something. unusual. He. may be an abused old man but he sounds to us like a silly one. The Commercial Bank and Trust 1’ Company of Union City closed thia week, due to holding too many substandard securities, but the fact that depositors will get their money in full within a week or ten days, makes an entirely different picture than it would have been a few years ago. Hunters who plan to go after' quail and rabbits next week should remember that they have no right to enter land where signs are posted forbidding them to do so. It's tresspass and that's a violation of l law. It should also be remembered that it's a sport in which the greatest care should be used. There is a shortage of honey and fear that the bees will die off this winter. Experts say it's because there was a decided shortage of white clover the past summer and I that's where the busy bee gathers the-»ectar that makes the syrup for your morning cakes. Now that's something else to worry about. Congressman Pettingill still loves to see his name in print and loses no opportunity to make the front pages. Just now he is “socking” Senator Minton for saying "you can t eat the constitution.” But don't worry, he gets back a quick answer, which also reaches the reporters ear and isn't so plea-1 sant to take. It would be interesting to read what the Republicans would put in their platform if they hold a convention next year. Os course they would “view with alarm” but they couldn't “point with pride” to many achievements and we doubt if they would pledge themselves to any policy which would solve the various problems of government. Ray Hanson of Minnesota won the corn husking championship at Marshall, Mo., this week, successful in his fourth trial and due very probably to the rain which fell incessantly. Others could husk 'more corn but too many husks hung on [ as they were tossed into the wagon bed. lu other words Ray seems to have been better on a mud track than he would have been on a fast one. Thq Indiana state fair is now a real institution that gives as fine exhibitions as can be seen in the entire country and does it at a profit. For years it was a case of guessing on what the loss would be. This year the net profits were' almost $75,000. The big factor is the. advance sale of tickets and the special attention given to

1 schools. The management is to be I complimented on the fine showing made and Lieut.-Governor Schricker and his assistant, Mr. Templeton deserve commendation. The American Legislative League is now organizing in each county in the state to enlist the ser- . vices of tax payers to circulate' I petitions, urging the next legisla- j ture to gixe tax-exemption of ♦3,-1 'SOO on all farm and city homes wnd S6OO on personal That would mean that the average person would pay no direct , taxes but it's silly to think that I we wouldn't pay It in some other manner. We doubt Its advisability , although we do believe that some exemptions could and should and ‘ will be made. Mrs. Franklin Delano Roosevelt, first lady of the land, talented and worth while, will speak at the Shrine auditorium in Fort Wayne., Wednesday evening, the 17th on "The relationship of the individual I to the community.” It is not a pel- j itical meeting but a talk by one of. America's greatest women on a subject ot deep interest to every, one. Every penny of the money she receives for these lectures, goes] directly to charity. A number of, have been sold here and the ladies, we are sure, will enjoy the meeting. ■ Go to church tomorrow. There is I no doubt that the finest thing that ‘ could happen to the nation would' be a return to the old fashioned Christian enthusiasm. When the | Pilgrim Fathers started things in this wild and wooly land, they re- i verted daily to prayer and they built on a rock that has stood the ’ test- We can recover that position if we will give more attention to. the teachings of the Church and less to affairs, which while they may seem important, are after all of little consequence. We live on earth a few years aud we live in 1 eternity forever. - —— Getting men off relief and put-t ting them into regular jobs involv!es a human problem that is test-' ing. the diplomatic powers of employment authorities. “W hen a man has been on relief,' says one, of these executives, “he has neces- • sarily learned to keep his worst foot forward, to present all the pathos of his condition, in order to stay on the relief rolls. When we send him out to get a regular job we have to help him change that attitude, leave his troubles : at home, and put his best foot forward.” There's a real problem in applied psychology.—The Prairie Farmer. When the new parking ordinance becomes effective it will be (enforced. Local police officials will! be instructed to see that persons , who violate the laws be brought into court and the state police will also aid in seeing that the ' one-hour parking and no double parking on those streets which are ; a part of the state highway system, are conformed with. This is necessary if we are to continue the routes over the present thoroughfares and if we do any thing else they will mis# the city entirely. It seems to us to be important that every one cooperate in this matter,, assuring a continuance of the traffic but with greater safety to the pedestrians and the other car drivers. David Lawrence regrets that the | Republicans showed such great gains in the recent elections over the country. Bet he wrote that story before the results came in and anticipated they would be much greater than they were. The truth is that the G. O- P. didn't j show any progress worth mention- j ing. A Fusion candidate was elected in New York aud the Lewis candidate was beaten in Detroit, both of which results were expected, predicted and probably desired by 'as many Democrats as Republicans. The Democrats won in state elections and made a wonderful off ! year showing everywhere. If Mr.

Use either an aluminum pan or one of enamel, resting an aluminum pie plat or cover on the j bottom and laying the silver so that it comes in contact with the. alminum or another piece of silver which does touch it. The tarnish ' will be almost instantly removed! and the silver may then be rinsed and dried. Do not use this method on silver which has an oxidized 1

Haitian Minister Elie j , Lescot told the United Press that i he was not at liberty to say any- ■ thing that might contravene the ' spirit of the inter American con- . ference for maintenance of peace held at Buenos Aires last DecernI ber or to intimate that peace of. the western world was being jeoporadized. According to information available here, the immediate crisis arose during the first week in October, when members of the dom- ’ inican guardia and soldiers of the i ’ dominican army, allegedly acting' ' under orders, began rounding up t Haitian nationals in the area I around Bajabon in the north west- ’ . ern corner of the dominican re,l public. These Haitians were said , i to be workers and peasants who ■ had crossed the border and were living in that region. II One report stated that three ( I hundred of these Haitians were j i conducted under military guard to ; I ‘ the northern port of Monte Cristi,

I after having been informed that l ; they were to be placed on board , 'ship and repatriated to Cape Hai-1 j lien. But no boat awaited the Hai- ! tians when they were herded on .to the wharf at Monte Cristi. The report stated that the dom- | inican forces fell upon the defense- ! less Haitians with clubs and machetes, slaughtering the vicj tints, men, women and children alike, and throwing their bodies into the water to be devoured by ' ■ sharks. I Other reports stated that severlal hundred were herded under military escort into a fortress and : killed. o ■- # | TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY | From the Dally Democrat File November 6, 1917. —United Statea and Japan sign agreement on I "open door” policy.
