Representative SCHEERER & CO. 15 Lexington Avenue, New York 35 East Wacker Drive, Chicago Charter Member of The Indiana League of Home Dailies If you want to do your Christ- j mas shopping early, this is the week to start. Frank Me Hale describes Paul V. McNutt as 'a middle-of-the-road, : progressive, Jeffersonian Demo- j crat." If that doesn't meet the bill, what do you want for your money? Join the State Bank Christmas . club and be fixed for next year's shopping. It's best boosters are, those who have been using this plan of saving money for a definite j purpose. French Quinn will take part on the program of the Indiana Historical conference in the meeting to be held Friday, the 9th and we know of no one in northwestern Indiana as well qualified for that kind of an event. Christmas season is nearly here ! and hundreds are making gift . selections now. Watch this paper* for announcements from the var- j ious merchants. It will lighten the i task of buying for any of the family, young or old. While making up your list of, Christmas gifts, we would like to remind you that for those away from home, nothing will be as acceptable and as enjoyable as a year to the home paper. The Daily Democrat. In this country strikes are settled with as little pressure from tjje government as possible, while in France they call out the army. The winter is getting a good j start and we won't be surprised if we will all be good and ready for spring and her blue birds when they arrive. ..Those who are housed comfortably and who do not have to work hour after hour outside may enjoy ; the cold weather but those less Wrtunate And it not only inconvenient and unpleasant but really j dangerous at times. More than a hundred have died In the United States the past few days as a result of the ice and snow and cold.

Francis Reieheldefer, who was ] born at Harlan In Allen county, Is 1 slated for chief of the United i Stated States weather bureau, an j | important and responsible post-1 tion. He was recently transferred j from the U. S. S. Utah to the department of agriculture. He Is j known by a number here and is i a brilliant young man who gradu- ! ated from Northwestern University ! twenty-one years ago and has been j making good ever since. The Democratic state committee j spent $150,000 in the recent cam- ' paign and SIIO,OOO of that amount was paid in by the Hoosier Demo- | cratic club. This money was rais- ! ed through the two per cent as- ' sessment on job holders and to our I notion is the fairest and best I method of securing money for a campaign. There has been much ! ado about it but largely because ’ the party out of power is compell- I !ed to raise cash by other means, j - Members of the United Brethren i church Ninth and Madison, oh- ( served the 53rd anniversary of the founding of the local church yes-j j terday. There was enthusiasm and much interest iu each program | during the day and Rev. Weber was assisted by Rev. and Mrs. j Harry Richer who are assisting in f ! the evanglistic services now in progress. It was a happy event for | a lot of fine people who make up i the congregation. It begins to look like the eandi-! I dates who ran a close race for state t offices cannot recount a few coun-, ties to determine results. If there I is a wrong that can be established. ' it is probable that ballots would i have to be recounted in each pre- 1 i rinct in the entire state, under the j | nUittg -*w*4«r which a temporary writ of prohibition was issued by • the supreme court. The court can , , only rule under the law and if that does not meet the desires of the ' : people, the legislature has a right j to change it. Herman B. Wells will become (he 11th president of Indiana Unij veraity when he is inaugurated! Thursday of this week. The event) ' will be one of the most important ; | there in a long time for a program suitable to the occasion has been i planned. Mr. Wells, former gradn- ! ate and former member of the tacuuty of I. U. was appointed j ; temporarily after the resignation |of Mr. Bryan and was chosen permanent after the board of truslees hud made a diligent survey iof available candidates. That he will prove able and outstanding is I the belief of his thousands of j friends who have watched his j dynamic career with interest so years. Our congratulations are! extended to Mr. Wells and to every I one interested In the continued growth of one of the nation's great ; : colleges. DRASTIC CHANGES PROPOSED Traffic fatalities continue and no j amount of advice, pleading, educatj ing, automotive improvements and i highway construction seem to abate this horror which piles up tragedy after tragedy. The Hoosier motorists are going ] to have an opportunity now to at * least, see what can be done byway ot more stringent laws covering ' automobile traffic in Indiana. Drastic changes in existing automobile laws have been proposed by (Be! Hoosier Motor Club and that or- 1 ganization is planning to send out j thousands of ballots to Indiana motorists in an eort to determine if they desire such changes. If tile program is generally approved by the motorists it will be presented at the coming session of the i General Assembly, t Among the 14 points that will

involve sweeping changes are such proposals as: Buying license plates ill July ini stead of January. Drivers' license to cover a period of four years instead of one, and at the same 50-cent fee. Repeal of all Federal excise taxes 1 on automobiles, gasoline, oil and accessories. Make it unlawful to operate a 1 car that is mechanically unsafe. Cut weeds and growths by July i 1 each year. All motorcar taxation and license ! fees collected by state to be placed : in state highway fund and to be used exclusively for road building i or maintenance. Widen and protect all main arterial highways. These and other equally import- , ant proposals that are worthy of consideration by the motorist in the name of safe driving will be found on the ballots. These ballots should be given attention by those who receive them, since it will afford an opportunity to assist in making Indiana highways safe, surely one of the most important issues of the day.

INDIANA U. TO (CONTINUED FROM PACE ONE) ! 'JH; Joseph Swain, l«»3-trf03, uud William Lowe Bryan, 1902-BV. Four of the ten who have preceded President Wells were ministers Ryors. Daily, Nutt and Moss—but the other six came to the presidency from the education field. President Wells will be the first to i have extensive experience In tha business field as wTll as educational administration background. VaVried avenues have brought men to the presidency of ndiana University according to the records. The first president, Andrew Wylie, had served as president of Jefferson College, Canonsburg. I’a., and Washington College, Washington, Pa., the parent institutions of the Washington and Jefferson College of today, before coming to Indiana. The first of the clergymen presidents, Alfred Myers had been professor of mathematics at Indiana and then president of Ohio University before he took over the president s chair which he occupied but a year when lie rescued to teach at Couter College ‘n Kentucky. The second president to come from the ministry was William Mitchell Daily, a graduate of Indiana, cnee dearly points to the tact that drivers were picked up be-xuse of drunken, reckless driving and that the officers were unbiased in their opinion, the court should enforce the laws on the statute boohs. It is the duty of every citizen to jrotest lenient decisions on the enforcement problem. Leniency only encourages the man who lias no respect to rthe rights of others and who, on the highway, is a menace to the safety of ourselves and our children. Please, Mr. Vltizen, help enforce the traffic laws.
