New York 35 East Wacker Drive, Chicago Charter Member of The Indiana League of Home Dailies The Good Fellows have $l5O in their fund to make the boys and girls happy and that's only half enough. Won't you please help this good cause? Those in charge of the annual roll call of the Red Cross are appreciative of the excellent support that has been given them by the excellent people of Adams county. The response was splendid. Thousands of people over the state today mourn the death of William Mooney. Sr., of Indianapolis, for years a leader in business,

in Democratic politics and as a citizen generally. He was a man of pleasing personality and good judgment. Martin Krueger, veteran legislator, was defeated in the recount at Michigan City by Dr. Danielson, Republican, by twenty votes. This was a gain of twenty-eight votes from announced results but the changes were not sufficient to send the old timer back. Governor Townsend is against the traffic law violators who endanger life and cause so many serious accidents each year and is opposed to the slot machine racket. In both of the crusades he declares he will wage he is entitled to not only the moral support but the actual aid of all good citizens. Au even dozen Republicans out of fifty-one want to b chairman of the ways and means committee in the legislature and as many more want on the committee. We kngw the boys were hungry but had no idea they were as near starved for preferment as they now indicate. Listen for the carols and chimes

that will be broadcast from the Zion Reformed church, starting next Monday evening. There Will be special programs during the period which will continue until New Years eve and will include the broadcasting of the Christinas morning services. It will add to the spirit of the holidays as those I who heard them last year will bear witness. The Red Cross campaign is near its close for 1938 and the report of the secretary, Miss Anna'Winncs, shows that while the fund is , nearly $l,lOO, we are still below the desired one thousand members, since a number gave more than the regular one dollar dues. Those who have not joined, should do so at once as the final report and settlement will be made in a few days.

| or speakers in America Is the auther of an interesting aticle which appears in this week's Saturday Evening Post. You will be interested in reading it whether you agree with him or not for be asks three important questions and | then answers them, concluding ■ with the assertion that President Roosevelt wants a third term, will turn to the right the next twa years and guesses that the next President of the United States is likely to be Franklin Delano Roosevelt himself. The general public will approve any actual changes in election i laws that will guard the sanctity | of the ballot but if to please some ■ fanatic at a greatly increased cost to the public is followed, there will be plenty of criticism. Fundamentally the present election laws ; are all right, perhaps needing some clarification and doing away with any overlapping. If there is wrong doing in elections it can only be charged to those whose duty it is to enforce them. Piling statute upon statute will not help and may complicate matters as it has in other states. Decatur s handsome and modern new high school building, one of the finest in the state for cities this size, will be dedicated with proper ceremony next Thursday evening. Floyd I. McMurray, state superin- * tendent of public instruction. Mayor Holthouse and others will be ( on the hour program and guests ■ will be ushered over the building, j It will be a happy and delightful >

event. The trustees. Superinten dent Krick. Architect Strauss and | all others connected with the work of providing the great structure, for the city deserve much credit. It is a fine job well done. Unemployment as a profession should not get very far in the . United States. Yet it is organized and has a militant lobby in Wash-1 ington demanding from Congress larger and larger payments for do-1 • ing nothing. Os all the children of the New Deal, this one is the i least to be desired. The trouble I springs from the fact that gloomy prophets of trouble have announced that we shall always have the unemployed with us. And the unemployed feel that if they are permanent the government should recognize that fact by large and liberal and continuous handouts. This kind of thing is not in harmony with the American spirit. The genius of America is to keep hustling. We respect the man who is on his feet hunting for a job a great deal more than we respect the man who is clamoring that it is not his fault he is out of work and proposes to capitalize on his misfortune. —Cincinnati Enquirer.

Paul V. McNutt, high cominis-! sioner of the Philippine Islands, I former governor of Indiana and former dean of law at Indiana University is being boosted by friends ' and admirers for the presidency' 'of the United States and of all' mentioned he has perhaps the best I background. As governor he car- ’ ' ried the state through the worst! years of the depression without I I leasing its credit. There were no I ' schools closed in this state, no! shorted terras. There was no hunger. Only his daring and courage I ip reorganizing the state permitted the improvements he made in state institutions when those in other states were reduced to lower ; levels. He is known to the teach- ; ers of other states as an educator , of rare ability. He is known as a I statesman, he is also known as a progressive liberal who never hesitates to do the right thing at the ' right time in forwarding the forces I ot progress. To all, he is known , as a thorough American, a thing i not to be overlooked in these days | when those who fought the war are | taking a more active interest in I government and in every branch I of government.

galea had coopeiated In preparing a uolidarily resolution, a redraft of one circulated by United States delegates. The Mexican Argentine dra't proposed an unwritten American front against armed aggression from outside and against cultural and other foreign penetration into the Americas, but It was inuili milder In tone than the original draft prepared by Secretary of Statu Cordell Hull. An American proposal for low'ering trade barriers, which Hull intended to submit, was understood to reaffirm trade principles agreed cn a| previous Pan-Amer-ican conferences and to call on ell nations to lower tariffs as much as possible. As regards continental solidarity. there was a chance that Peru would Introduce a proposal of its own and a possibility that Brazil also would submit one. The conference steering committee was called to meet this morning and a plenary meeting was ret for this afternoon. Tomorrow was the deadline for submitting projects for approval by the full conference. Then projects will be alloted to committees and sub-committees for study and possible revision before they are put up to the conference in
