Representative SCHEERER & CO. 15 Lexington Avenue, New York 35 East Wacker Drive, Chicago Charter Member of The Indiana League of Home Dailies Have you broken your New Year resolutions yet? It’s not too late to resolve to do every thing you can to help continue the inarch of progress in Decatur. Each citizen has his share of a program of that kind. The charges being made by Dick Elliott, former congressman from this state against Daniel C. Roper would be more effective | had they not followed his dismissal as acting controller general. The Indiana legislature is now in session ana if you nave any pet i peeves that you think can be taken care of by a new law, now is the time to send it in to your representative or senator. ■BdMMMVrW Year# ago they told us that a January fog would freeze a February dog, which probably meant weather like the past few days would be followed soon by some real zero stuff, li probably won I work in this stream-line age. If the United States can do eighty billion dollars of business a year, the budget will balance itself without additional taxes, is the opinion of President Roosevelt and he also thinks we can easily reach that point if we will q"it playing politics and attend to business. The -report of the First State Bank is evidence not only of their soundness and growth but of the improvement of the community in general. The deposits have grown and the reserves held ty the bank indicate it is one of the finest financial institutions in this part of the state. There is much of interest in the news today and you want the local news from your home 1. wspaper, where you get all the details instead of just a flash. The Daily Democrat is only three dollars per year by mail, cheaper than any other paper yoif can buy that gives you what this paper does, iftiuew this week. The U. S. senate committee which investigated campaign expenses and the use of governmantf al monies in the recent campaign has exonerated Indiana on the charges that there was political activity on the part of officials, •kiployes or workers connected with the WPA. The committee also found that the charges made by Raymond Willis along the same liqes were not sustained by the evidence offered. The state supreme court of course over-ruled the motion for a rehearing asked by Raymond E. Willis and the other “die hards" who were defeated in the recent election but because the vote was close, made all the charges they could think of and then failed to dig up necessary evidence but continued to file irregular proceedings that have now been held so by the

supreme court. That ought to I settle tho matter. President Roosevelt Is a great j 1 student of economics and is perhaps the best posted ‘ man in I America on the various branches , of government us well us the conit dition of the people. His message r - to congress meant something more than politics and the people should (support him for they know he is 2 their friend. He may make errors 0 0 occasionally but don’t forget he is 5 trying every minute to better the ? conditions of those who deserve it. 5 I) 0 The state senators will try to abolish the beer importer system I now in use In the state and evl- ( dently favor a special counting | set-up and simplification of the i recount proceedure. Like all pro- j posed legislation, they may be j alright and they may not, depending on bow the new laws work, who is injured by them and just i how much good they are generally. We will have to wait and see I first, whether the bills pass and I then whether they really help. 9SSS9* Say what you will about President Roosevelt when he speaks to the nation, he moves millions. No I man that we can remember could I ever hold and sway an unseen I audience as does this great leader. He inspires all to follow him | and all the politicians in the world : can not head him off. He believes I what he believes and can say it. 1 He certainly did so in his ad- ’ dress to congress yesterday and I he left no doubt as to his future ( course. Senator Van Nuys was duly sworn into office for his second ; term and without any objections i I from those who have threatened i for two mouths to prevent him being seated. They know full well that he was elected and they went to great lengths to embarrass him but their efforts are futile and for I the next six years, his health per- ! milting, Jjjs will represent the j ' great State of Indiana as her senior senator. He knows this; state and will fight for her interests, believe it or not. Every one certainly understands ( I the city ordinance as regards traffic regulations by this time and the police are entitled to your cooperation. Parking double is a violation and parking time should ,be observed. If it is not, the , ordinance soon becomes useless. There is another phase to it too and that is that the state police ! can step in at any time and see j i that the laws and the ordinance ’ i are observed on those streets I which are a part of the state highway system. Obey the laws and | save trouble for your self and the I police authorities. George Gillie no doubt got a great thrill out of President Roosevelt’s speech. Perhaps he cheered a little as the greatest orator of recent times reached the peaks of his address, it would be interesting to know just what he thinks of this great leader who so wonderfully proved his leadership in yesterday’s message. After all, as ■ the President, says, congress can | do as they like about providing aid [ ■ ' for the needy, balancing the budegt | i I and taking care of those matters | iI of greatest importance. He is only the chief executive officer. . I It’s in their lap. 0 | Answers To Test Questions i | Below are the answers to the Test Questions printed on Page Two * « r I 1.

SYNOPSIS World-shaking events are not far off when Matilda, Countess of Matresser, meets her handsome bachelor son and heir, Ronald, soon after one of his long and mysterious journeys abroad. He chides her gently for hiring foreign servants. Sir Ronald (Lord Matresser) has but started a rest on his rich country estate when an unconscious man is found under suspicious circumstances near the Great House. . . . Ronald’s younger sister, Ann, introduces him to Mademoiselle Elisabeth Stamier, a beautiful Austrian who is her new companion. Matresser recalls seeing her before. She is relating how her noble family, like most royalty, has fallen into evil days. CHAPTER IV Mademoiselle Stamier leaned back among her cushions and there was a very sad light in her eyes. "As for me.” she sighed, “there has been nothing for years but suffering and distress. I am, after all, an Austrian and whatever faults we may have as a nation we love our country. If your wanderings had l ever led you to visit Vienna and if ! you gave yourself the trouble to I compare the present with the past

you would realize the bitter sufferings and humiliations through which we have passed.” “But you still have hopes." She looked at him with a swift intensive glance of inquiry. His face, as it always seemed, was like a mask. “You mean," she said under her breath, “if we, the only nation which has preserved its aristocracy, were : to throw in our weight with the j brown shirt god — the German Leader Hellstern?” “1 do not believe,” he protested, j “that any one of your statesmen would lend himself to such a suggestion.' She leaned towards him. “What other hope have we?" “Why ask me? I only know, as many others must, that Hellstern has created a Frankenstein and must have outside help or be crushed himself. Tell me about you» uncle. He was always my idea of a great statesman. I hear. by-the-joy, that he is very popular indeed at Court here.” "It is a pleasant thing to know,” she said, “but alas, where will that ' lead to? He is almost an old man, you know, Lord Matresser. He has not the force or the courage left to strike a blow for his country. Let us talk of this no more. . . . Even at this terrible time of the year I cannot tell you how much I admire this peaceful English country of yours; also. I admire so much your mother. A grande dame in a living world. And Ann—such a brilliant young person I never thought I would care for another girl as 1 do for Ann.”

“It was a great surprise to find you here,” he meditated. “It was not, I hope, an unhappy one?" she asked. He did not at once reply. She looked at him curiously. >( “I am not a sentimental person, he said, "but I may tell you this — may I not? I have always hoped that we might meet again. It is a great, a very great pleasure for me to return and find you a member of my household. Still, it is also a great surprise.” “Why?” “We never met in those few days of tragedy,” he explained, “but of course one heard you spoken of. Your family was supposed to be one of the fortunate ones who had survived the war and was still wealthy and powerful.” “We were wealthy and powerful still because we owned great estates
