Among some other jobs we wouldn’t care for, would be a prison warden. There are more people gainfully employed in Decatur than any town of its size in the state. —■ ■II"" - - Get your school supplies for next week. The displays are now on and your needs can be tilled quickly at the Decatur stores. A 40-cent tax rate raises only $19,733 to run the city government hi Decatur. That is keeping costs down to a minimum, as far as the taxpayer is concerned. The college All-Stars, coached liy "Bo ” McMillin trimmed the Redskins in the exhibition football game.' 28 to 16. It was youth against professionalism and youth always wins. With England and France both declaring they will not permit the invasion of Czechoslovak. Hitler no doubt sees the handwriting and will postpone his proposed march to the border. Even if the railway brotherhoods vote to strike next October, the country can’t afford to permit the roads to cease operation. Something will and must be done to keep the trains moving and when the time conies, no doubt that action will be taken. With several hundred men going to work in the sugar factory, part of the unemployment slack will be taken up. The end of the campaign will bring us close to the first of the year and by that time, according to predictions, business should be going forward 1U normal style. Labor Day next Monday affords you she opportunity to take a trip, get in another day of fishing or the chance to just lay around and do “nothing.” After all there 1 isn’t anything more enjoyable than when you can take your time and do as you please, without any thought about the clock or daily duties. Reckless driving or driving at an excessive rate of speed is a violation of the law. The local police patrol the city and when offenders are apprehended they must answer to the charge. The town does not want fatalities to occur on its streets and reckless driving leads to trouble. Observing the law is a matter for the individual to decide, the police making arrests only when it has been violated. The New York Yanks and the Pittsburgh Pirates h-ve the lead in the American and National leagues. The Yanks are about 15 games ahead and it looks like they can coast from now on to the world series. The New York Giants are trailing the Pirates by

| six games and most of the fans are hoping that the nation’s baseball classic is played between the two cities. The next few games L will tell. j Lifting of beets will begin next Monday and the yards at the Cetit tral Sugar factory will open Tues11 day to receive the crop. Operation of the big mill Is planned I for about September 10 and one of ! ) the longest runs in history Is aiv 1 ticipated. Beet tonnage may reach j 100,000 tons, assuring from 90 to > a 100 days run. The local factory, * the only one of its kind in Indiana. will be one of the busiest places in the state, the entire place will seethe with activity. It should be heralded around that 300 to 400 men will find employment during the sugar making campaign. Everyi body hopes for a profitable harvest and a successful run. Naturally it causes an inconvenience to drivers to nave their 1 license suspended. The authors of | the law knew it when the bill was passed. The governor who signed the bill no doubt realized it would work a hardship on some of the offenders. The courts hearing cases where the defendant is charged with reckless or drunken driving senses that it is taking away a priivilege in recommending revocation. Merc tines do not always teach the lesson that the i law wishes inflicted. When defendi ants plead guilty to the charges,, the same law clearly defines the duty of the court and in the interl est of public safety, the provisions are followed. Public sentiment favors a curbing of the reckless driver and the Indiana law was i designed with that purpose in view. —l Governor Townsend in conclud- ( ing his French Lick address said: | ’ Total salaries and wages in Indi- j ana were estimated by the Nation- i a! industrial Conference Board at ’ $655,000,000 in 1932. and $1,240.-, 000.000 in 1937. In plain cold figures the workers of Indiana received $585,000,000 more in wages .in 1937 than they did in 1932. The ■ total farm income in Indiana in ! 1932 was $135,000,000. In 1937 the! total farm income in Indiana was $291,000,000, an increase of 171 per cent. Again, thO figures speak for themselves. The deposits in ■ ,ur stale banks, private banks and trust companies in Indiana were ■ $120,388,430 greater in 1937 than i in 1932, although the number of | these institutions was less by 129. i All these figures which seem so' hard and cold spell progress and 1 security. We have not let the, people down!” Newspapers heralded the election returns in California and i South Carolina with ribbon streamers. Ordinarily the results would have made a single column head, hut in view of President Roosevelt’s personal preference expressed in the pre-primary campaigns.' they became major headlines. Sen- j ator McAdoo was defeated by Sheridan Downey, an attorney fbr the Townsend organization. Be--I sides McAdoo’s advanced age, 75 • years, which didn't appeal so strong to the voters, his opponent! advocated a S3O-a-week scrip pension plan. The only way to have combatted such a glowing and catchy campaign issue would have I been to sponsor a S6O pension pay- i ii meat every Saturday. Down in the j old “Tar Heel” state, Senator Smith : had the edge because of his in- ! cumbency, his vote on the wages . and hour bill and the state rights 1 cause which was injected into the j | campaign. The issues are bring-! , 1 ing out the vote and if those who I cast their ballot in the primaries . vole for the winning candidates in ; November, the Democrats are sure - to win. The registration in Cali- ■ fornia shows the Democrats in the : lead aud there is no question about r South Carolina's choice. i

It must be the weather out in 1 California that takes the money | out of the pocketbooks and puts it j in peoples' heads. A new subsidy 1 scheme is going the rounds. This [ one would pay every unemployed I ( voter over 5C years old, S3O a month. This happens to be the seventeenth similar plan in that state in the last five years. The people must have plenty of leisure time to be so active in thinking up plans of this kind. This latest! i ' plan would have the state issue ! warrants to the eligibles, who purchase two-cent revenue stamps and on every Thursday anyone in possession of a warrant would place a s tainp on the warrant. Just why they pick Thursday is not clear. At the end of the year the state would redeem the warrants at $1 each. The operation would be free of ail taxes, ever, escaping the sales tax. This and similar schemes have naturally i cut into the Townsend plan. It is ; estimated California has a million i and a half people who would be j eligible. It is not explained what they expect to use for money to . back up the warrants which at the end of the first month would

As primary elections swung Into the September stretch, a survey reveals about an even split for the New Deal among Democratic candidates who received the administration’s nod of approval or dis- I approval. Among those who were victorious although they lacked Indorsement of President Roosevelt were the four above. Senator Ellison D Smith of South Carolina triumphed despite an active New Deal campaign against him. In California Sheridan Downey won over Senator William McAdoo although the latter was Indorsed by Roosevelt. Senator Guy M. Gillette defeated Otha Wearin. administration favorite in lowa, and Senator Pope, New Deal supporter. was downed by Representative D. Worth Clark of Idaho, i — -
