Through newspaper advertising you can reach everyone, everywhere, at any and all times. It's only two weeks from Monday until the big fair opens and the fun begins. The National and American league races in basebail are thrilling enough to excite even those fans who give it little attention. President Roosevelt is having a good hot trip, figured any way you want to use your pencil but he seems very happy about it and is nrobably havir.s a good time. It's just going to be too bad if the special session repeals the gadget law. That's about the only -state issue the Republicans have and they are all set to make a lot out of it. Those who are seeking ways to reduce their weight can do it most -any day now by going up to the attic and taking a few hot drinks. If that don't bring it out, there is . no way to do it. Those in charge of the agricultural part of the free street fair, j August Ist to 6th, say indications > are tor the best show of its kind "ever given here and we have had a lot of dandy exhibitions. The death of Senator James Netterville of Anderson causes sorrow among many who knew him as a great public servant. For sixty years he has taken part in public affairs and at his death was controller of the city of Anderson, oldest public official in the state. He was eighty-nine years old. It evidently takes more than a little oil aud tax to keep people off ■Second street, but it must be -r< membered that the new thorough--fares are being constructed at great . cost for the benefit of the people -in general aud we should all con-1 J'orm with such regulations as are ’jiecessary to complete a good job of resurfacing. After all the excitement has quieted and the boys begin to think .over the Democratic state convention, Governor M. Clifford Townsend emerges as the man, who more than any one else, put over a harmony program that has never been equalled in Indiana. He took a modest position but every one knows that because of his leadership he Had control aud his efforts to reunite the old party was a fine show of political talent. Local attorneys, as well us many other friends of the late Judge Charles Ryan of Fort Wayne, are deeply grieved over his death. In every sense he was a splendid citizen. He had a wonderful disposition and was one of those men with whom people enjoyed association. He was a splendid lawyer and judge and will be missed by all who knew him or came in contact with him. His passing is a distinct loss to his community. The general assembly will convene next Monday in Indianapolis

to provide relief legislation. A number of uew buildings aud additions to the penal and correctional institutions and the various hos- > pltals will be financed aud the governor will ask that sufficient I increase in funds to be returned to the counties for public welfare ‘ be provided so the local units will j not have to Increase tux rates to take care of the situation. It's un excellent program and will be q I sincerely appreciated by the genii oral public. 5 ? "I believe profoundly In the J j democratic processes, the life of 1 which stems from the people who have created those processes to carry out their will, that men, women and children might have life, liberty and happiness in great abundance. 1 believe there is no sanctity in the processes beyond that sanctity that conies from their success in the service of the people. 1 worship no symbols. I believe that government should be made to work for the people, and 1 not to be manipulated by a few people, wherewith to oppress the . many."—Senator Sherman Minton in his address as permanent chairman of the Democratic state convention. Seemingly, this is a dangerous 1 age in which we live, with life and i limb menaced by reckless motorists in crowded streets and the 1 rapid pace at which we travel I playing havoc with mental and physical resources. Notwithstanding these rather ominous circum-; stances, however, the child born this year may expect to live to the fairly mature age of sixty-one years and three months. Recent-| ly life insurance tables of life ex- , pectancy have been completed based on statistics collected from. forty-eight states. Never before have complete vital records been available. They prove that the average span of life is lengthening surprisingly. The life expectancy ; figure for the year 1901 was but 49.24 years. The difference in years may be attributed to science., Knowledge advances. Health regulations are wiser and better obeyl ed. Supplies of water aud milk I are scientifically safeguarded. Children are protected against com-1 municable diseases and are better nourished and cared for generally. Now there arises the question of whether we are making better use of the lengthening years or are merely living them. — — * The Democratic state convention was the shortest in the history of ‘ the party. For the first time all the nominations were made by acclamation. There were no bal- j lotings and no contests. The pro- i gram had been worked out to the last detail and harmony prevailed . where there had been indications 1 of contests only a few days ago. ■ The spontaneous demonstration in i support of former Governor Me- 1 Nutt, as the Hoosier choice for the | Democratic presidential nomination in 1940, was without precedent in state conventions. There was no room to doubt that his Indiana supporters are in earnest. His hat was thrown into the ring in no unmistakable way. Great enthusiasm was aroused by the reading of the plank indorsing him for the 1940 presidential nomiation. The i nomination of Senator VanNuys, j like all others on the list, was by ■ acclamation. What ever differ--1 cnees may have existed were composed before the session and only harmony prevailed. Senator VanNuys is the senior senator from Indiana, has worked hard and conscientiously and the sentiment prevailed that his party owes it to 1 him to have a chance to run for 1 re-election on the record he has made. —Indianapolis Star. i o 1 * twenty years - * AGO TODAY From the Dally Democrat File | i♦ " ♦ July 14. 1918 was Sunday. o t .
