Through newspaper advertising you can reach everyone, everywhere, at any and all times. ■With a shower or two added, we . would say this was perfect weather. “ With the warm afternoons the ' straw hat still feels good, despite the fact that it looks like it had served the season. We never thought Capehart was a Democrat. No Democrat ever had >30.000 to throw a chicken frytor all who might come. The same moneyed fellows who howl that the credit of America is ruined, over subscribed 13 times a government bond issue of $200,000,000 at seven-eighths of one per cent interest. - "- Major DeSeversky flew across the country in 10 hours, three! minutes, averaging nearly five miles per minute. That s speed we admit, but what's his hurry? The improvement of U. S. road 27 south of Decatur is coming right ’ along. A four foot shoulder is be- ‘ ing built on the west edge of the ! road and a stretch of the highway three and one-half miles is being I resurfaced. The road will be open ' to traffic in a short time. Business will be at a standstill: next Monday in observance of Labor Day. As has been the custom since the day became a legal holiday, the Daily Democrat will not be published, giving the front office force ard the composing de , partment employes an opportunity for rest and recreation before the fall activities start. We wonder sometimes what the * people are thinking of? What their idea is of the future functions of government? How government | could finance some of the schemes ■ advanced by candidates? Out in I California a fellow is running for I congress with an issue that he will * pay S3O a week pensions. Boy, it ■ won’t be long until we can close - shop and go to the west coast. President Roosevelt in advocat-' ing the election of certain candi- j dates in several states has placed ■ the issue directly in the hands of the people. The primaries nomin-1 ate the candidates who will run I on the platform in the November election and with the line drawn * between what the President refers to as the progressive and reactionaries, the voters can determine ’ - their choice. It’s a clear cut issue. A 35-year-old youth has been -• elected to Congress from a Texas district. He had the reputation of being a good orator and his issue was larger pensions for the aged. Naturally it sounded good to the voters. He might have a job trying to make good his promise when he reaches Washington. It seems that any kind of a popular theme, from a hill billy baud to biscuits can win in Texas.

Up in Sturgis, Michigan, the state lire marshall condemned the ' clty'a Are station and city hall. I The equipment was moved to J temporary quarters and the case j put before the voters in a special j election tor a bond issue to finance a new building. It was voted down, ' leaving the progressive Michigan city without a modern city hall or ■ fire station. You never know the ' whims of the people. I — — ■ SMI ■■.ms' » Indianapolis and Marion county are priding themselves that so far this year there have been only 74 traffic fatalities in the city and .county compared with 96 a year 'ago. Reduction of the traffic toll 'is reported over the state as a whole and from other parts of the 'country. It is to be hoped that I the trend continues and despite : the many number of highway tragedies which have and will ocIcur that the total will be far be- , low that of previous years. European war scares have caused a drop in the stock market. I This is opposite to the trend 20 I years ago when prices went sky high. The probability of the application of the new neutrality act accounts for taking out the ex- . pected war profits. The act, if applied by the president, forbids j ■ the selling of supplies and war. materials to the waring nations. . Without profits, most wars would not be fought. Nations either want more territory or selfish business encourages conflict in order !to increase output. STANDING THE SHOCK: The recession—that sudden stop-i page of business which no one has been able to trace to its source — lias continued for two years. The depression, which started in 1929. had lasted three years, when the ! New Deal took over the govern-: ment and started the nation on j the road to recovery. But at the end of that period, ■ the country faced a panic and, ! chaos. During that time, 473 j banks had failed, with deposits toi talffig $191,273,000. Those who had money in banks still open were , terrified. They withdrew their money as quickly as they could. The whole structure of finance and J . government was menaced. One of the first acts of the New : Deal was the adoption of the Fedi oral Deposits Insurance Corpor--1 ation, which guaranteed all de- : posits up to $5,000. When the recession came, there ; were no raids upon bank accounts, no fear of disaster, no hurried rush ■to withdraw deposits. It is a matter of record that dur- ! ing this later and more vicious assault, only 42 banks were forced to close. But. their closing caused no furor. The depositors received their money from the federal government. The panic fear was lacki ing. , The Federal Deposits Corpor- | ation weathered the storm. In the first six months of business for j this year, it closes its books with $17,407,164 added to its already | huge reserves, as a further guarantee against shock. Even the Republican candidate for the Senate would hardly dare Ito suggest that this New Deal i measure be repealed. The conn-. I try met the shock of planned disaster. It will meet all other at-' ! tacks upon the administration. Only those who wish to travel the tragic journey of Germany through inflation to bankruptcy and dictatorship would suggest a change. o ♦ ——♦ Answers To Test Questions Below are the answers to the Test Questions printed on Page Two 1.

help. Steward Brown, Rome maiiager said that a more hopeful tone was developing late this afternoon and that the official press was minimizing the alarm which had been expressed in Paris and London. Italians Tranquil Italian officials, unwilling to fascist partner at Berlin, expresscommit themselves to aid their ed doubt that there would be a resort to arms. As an instance of Italy's tranquility it was pointed out that her two biggest cruisers are starting round-the-world trips tomorrow. Brown said he believed that if war came, Italy would keep her hands off as long as possible. Reynolds Packard at Prague said the government was pleased with recent developments and believed that to a certain extent Germany had been isolated. The Czech government was described as planning a calm course of action regardless of the rejection of its new peace proposals by the Sudeten extremists. Poles Divided In Warsaw, there appeared to be a division of public opinion about how firmly the government should line up behind the British leadership. In official circles, there was a determined effort to maintain strict neutrality, but the opposition appeared likely to force a change in that position by demands that the cabinet's altitude be defined. Otherwise, they contended, the government

appeared to be supporting Germany. The British cabinet was still worried but no longer jittery. It was emphasized that everything had been done to avoid embarrassing Hitler and to persuade him to cooperate iu a peaceful settlement. But perhaps the most important development in the entire picture was the growing conviction in London that the French will certainly fight if Hitler strikes at the Czechs. 0 CHECK FORGERY (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) persons may be implicated in the forging has been seen by the authorities. The arrest of Lawson at Wapakoneta. Ohio, yesterday, just as he was being released from the jail there on a check charge, brought an abrupt solution to a line of criminalistic activities that have been the cause of heavy investigation for years. A.lthough Lawson steadfastly maintained that he "couldn’t remember,” “couldn't just say” or "it’s hard to say,” who cashed many of the checks, authorities are confident that the case wili be concluded only when several others have been apprehended.

Democratic party’s candidate for Auditor of State. Active in Wells county politics for a number of years, Mr. Thompson entered the state political spotlight in 1932 when he was elected state representative from Wells and Adams counties. His party expressed its confidence in him in 1935 when he was chosen majority floor leader. He served in that capacity in a capable manner through the 1935 regular session, the 1986 special session, the 1937 regular session, and the 1938 special session. Mr. Thompson served as a member of a special committee appointed to draft Social Security bills and he was the author of numerous other important laws passed by the Iporiql n t lira /Uirinfp

DISEASE FAILS TO INJURE ALL Infantile Paralysis Is Investigated In Toronto, Canada Toronto, Ont. Aug. 31—(UP)— Research workers have discovered that Infantile paralysis does not affect every victim it strikes and that there may be a link between it and summer influenia, according to Dr. B. T. McOhie. Deputy Minister of Health for Ontario. The studies indicated. Dr. McGhie said, that persons might possess the Infantile paralysis organism, yet not develop any appearance of it. One research worker, he added, recently recovered the virus of infantile paralysis from the wast matter of a child patient.
