We noticed an editorial entitled, "What is war?" And Sherman gave the answer years ago. Individuals not included in the professional and business circles of the city, who wish to donate small amounts to the factory rebuilding fund. are. invited to con tribute. Their contributions will be cheerfully received. The world is grateful that Europe will not be thrown into war. The big four powers seem to have made a treaty which prevents the marching of armies and the slaughter of humans. In every heart there burns the hope that conflict will uoi come, anytime. -Monday morning the soliciting teams for the Krick-Tyndall factory rebuildingreemployment fund ' will get underway and the old Decatur spirit will put it over. The '

way to continue to make this town better is to have progressive industries employing hundreds of people. Young Toni Dewey, no relation of the famous admiral by that name, but hailing from lowa, is the Republican candidate for governor of New York. He made his reputation as a gang buster and does have color enough to attract attention, A move is on to draft Governor Lehman for a fourth term as the Democrat candidate for governor of the Empire State and the race promises to be an interesting one. Governor Lehman has indicated he would like to run for the U. S. senate, in which case a new man would head the state ticket. We wish success to the editorial and business staff of Ravelings, Decatur high year book, which the students have started to compile for the present school year. Gladys Miller is the editor-in-chief, assisted hy Lewis Koldeway and departmental heads. The editing of the year book is an interesting and worthy undertaking an d commencement would not be the happy occasion that it is if Ravelings did not make its annual appearance at that time, reviewing the activities of the students and the pictures of the graduates and others. Rev. Graham, chairman of the publicity committee for raising the Krick-Tyndall tile factory re-em-ployment, rebuilding fund, hit the nail sjquare on the head when he voiced the statement, that the amounts asked of prospective donors were not assessments, but an investment. Donations given to the fund will not only rebuild the plant and permit It to take its place among the local industries,

I but automatically It will provide i employment to about IOC men. i ■ That's important these, days and I there is no better way in which to build communities than to furnish men with gainful employment. I No political party remains in power forever, but those which serve the people faithfully conI tinue iu office for a long time. By ■ this token, the Democratic party will not be beaten in Indiana for many years. Despite the harangue of the party out of power, the party in control of government if it administers well — will not be turned out. In other words, by its ; I own acts a political party will sur-1 vive or fall. The Republican party ( is finding this to be true in Ind- > iana this campaign. There is little j with which it can find fault In , either the state or national admin- , istrations. It finds much to com , mend and promises to continue I many present policies if victorious, j Summed up. there is no reason . why the Democratic party should I |be kicked out. The Republican ' party has given no logical reason . tor the simple reason that there j isn't any. Good government is said to be the best politics. Indiana and j 1 the nation have good governments. . CENTENNIAL OF METHODIST CHURCH:— The Centennial observance pro- | grams of the First Methodist Episcopal church will begin Sunday, continuing each Sabbath during the month, with additional services scheduled throughout the four weeks. Former pastors of- the con-1 ■ gregation. including Rev. Charles 4 Tinkham, Rev. V. S. A. Bridge and | I Rev. Benjamin Franklin, will re- ; j turn during the month to partici- J pate in the services. Rev. Ralph 11 W Graham. pretest pa- < zealous worker for the spiritual welfare of his congregation, has prepared an interesting and devotional program, built around the j slogans. “To Revere the Past. To i Challenge for the Future." It is gjratllyiug U> note the earnestness and devotedness attendant with a the observance of the centennials | j of the founding of the Decatur j churches, as old as the town is « itself.

The Methodist church was a- i mong the four religious bodies to I receive a grant of a site for its , edifice from the original founders of the town. Samuel Rugg and Thomas Johnson. The first church ' was built by the congregation in i 1851, at what is now the corner of | First and Jackson streets, while ' the present substantial structure at the corner of Fifth and Monroe. | was built in 1891 and dedicated a year later, with additions being 1 made in 1896. From a handfull of devoted members. th#* congregation has grown equally in number and sincerity and today is representative of the business, political and civic life of the community. A community without churches is not a fit place in which to live. Without the word of God, without i the leadership of pastors and their kindly interest in behalf of the souls c? man, the world would be a roid. It would be a base existence without the hope and faith tn the better world promised by the son of God. Through the churches this wort! is carried and troubled hearts are consoled by and with the teachings of Jesus Christ. When a town celebrates yhurch Centennials it is therefore an important event. With the commuti- ■ ity we join in extending congratulations to the Methodist Episcopal I church and the service it has I rendered through the century. Rattlers Go On Hunger Strike Berkeley, Cal. — 'U.R> — Rattlesnakes. brought here for the an- ' nual convention of the American Society of Ichythyologists and Heri petologlsts, went on a hunger strike, presumably because they did not like the name of the so- ■ ciety. To keep them from dying i before the society closed its discussion of them, they were forcibly fed by thrusting a syringe, tilled with hamburger, eggs and milk. 1 down their throats.'
