CLOSING THE CAMPAIGN: 5 Voters should give little atten- 1 tion to last minute circulars, tricks 1 of statements. They are of course intended to mislead you. Any j charges made too late for those against whom they are made, to reply, are usually wrong. The campaign is closing and we appreciate the splendid attitude of all candidates. This newspaper, f has made a special effort to be I , fair and impartial to every candi-! ( date in this campaign as in the past. ( We urge that the election be ( kept as clean as possible, that we ( remember that a primary is dec signed as the fairest method for selecting candidates by the voice of the people. , Select those candidates whom j you feel best equipped to serve you. Tha/s the duty ot every good ' citizen. This is a great city and county and by cooperation and , wise, honest effort, we must con- , tinue that way. . There were two meetings the other day in widely separated . cities. One was of chemists, the . other of traffic engineers. The . former were told in effect that the , gasoline outlook was getting better, that a new process of changing natural gas into liquid gasoline would have the effect of add-1 ing 20 per cent to the life expectancy of the country's gasoline supply. The traffic engineers at the other meeting heard the principal speaker predict that the automobile future would not be run by : gasoline but by electricity transmitted by etherai waves. One report doesn't cancel the other, but the latter seems to change the gasoline life expectancy all over again, and the former seems to make the latter unnecessary. It's a wonderful age. but confusing.— Gary Post-Tribune. Who is T. Ernest Maholm, the , anti-windshield gadget man? He is i a little known Indianapolis attor- i ney of the eccentric type. He represents many clients in police court. T. Ernest is the man who filed the suits to declare the windshield title holder law unconstitutional. He lost in county and federal courts. But all that time T. ' Ernest was getting his name in the 1 Republican papers of Indianapolis. Now he is trying to capitalize on ' the publicity by running for state representative on the Republican ticket. T. Ernest announced that he wanted to get in the legislature to repeal the gadget law. We're skeptical. We think he wants to substitute the 50-cent. gadget holder law passed by Republicans some years ago for the present 25-cent title holder statute. —Ray E. Smith in "Signs of the Times.” When prisoners escape from one of the state penal institutions, the newspapers make a great fuss about it but when they are recaptured. if it's mentioned at all, it's a paragraph on the 'steenth page.

Several months ago five men escaped from Michigan City prison. All have been recaptured which at least is a good news item and certainly should prove that permanent escape from a sentence is not! easy. Usually it works hardship ' on the prisoner for he forfeits all J credits for good behavior and thus ' extends his period of servitude. The various assessors in the county will conclude their work on ’ the 10th, an important, tedious and sometimes nerve wracking | job. There is no reason why every ; one should not treat these officials with courtesy and help them do ' their work and we are glad to say ; that most folks do. If you have I not complied with the request of the assessor to fill out the blanks, j do so at once for the limit of time is nearly up. t Election returns will be received , at this office tomorrow night as they have been for some thirty or ! forty years. The telephone lines * will be open over the county and j aided by the force at the Citizen's I Telephone Company’s plant, we j will do our best to secure and de-: liver the results of the primary. We feel it is a part of the service ' a newspaper owes its public and we assure you we are happy to do it. — The association of railroads has 1 voted to cut wages fifteen per cent, i effective July Ist. which may mean ! a serious proposition if the con-1 ferees lose their heads. There is ; no doubt in any one’s mind that 1 the transportation lines are having a stiff battle to break even and • there is grave danger of difficulties. the result of which no one can foretell, unless agreements that; are fair to both sides are made. < This is clean up week in Decatur and the city trucks are gather- j ing the supply of winter rubbish which has been gathered. Ralph Roop, city engineer who is in charge, asks that you place the > caps and rubbish in a box so it cau t be handled as easily and quickly.! as possible. 1 ■ ■ ■■■ > Boost the boys and girls. After I all they are every thing worth 1 working for. They will be the men , and women who will do things to-1 morrow. We love them all and we : want them to be clean, honest,! worth-while folks. This is their | week. Go to the “greatest little circus j' in the world ' at the Catholic high : school auditorium tonight or to- L morrow night. It’s a happy enter- ■ tainment provided by the Decatur tire department. The cast is made ; up of local talent with several I numbers and you will enjoy every moment of it. The stock market continues rather weak and listless. Don t fret for they will find away to. boost it when those who engaged : in the business for a livelihood feel it is time to do so. After all it's considerable ot a game, influenced some of course by general economic conditions. About all that remains of the primary campaign is to vote and help get the others to, then count 'em. The candidates will no doubt be glad when it's over and of course since only one in each race can win, the others will be good sports and join in the effort to elect the ticket next November. It's the duty of every good citi- • zen to vote and there is no more | important election than the primary. It’s at this time you select candidates, who if elected, will operate the various offices which go to make up the government. Surely you are interested in em- ’ ploying these officials. This was the final day for paying taxes and the usual rush was on. All were taken care of however and most were happy because their taxes were less than usual. It's important that you not only
