Got a driver's license? If you happen to get in a jam and have to answer that question "non“ you will find yourself in much worse . position than if you cun say “yes” ; and show it. Because of the mild weather ' local stores have on hand an un- ■ usually large stock of winter mer-. chandise and you can find wonder- 1 ful bargains. Watch the advertisements in this paper from day to day. ■ The live merchant realizes this i is going to ge a good year and should make an advertising appropriation that will increase bis business. It can be easily done with a little thought and should be ar- . ranged NOW. I 1

Even the old tinier has to ad- | mit that he has rarely it ever seen a winter as open as this. With temperatures around forty and occassionally ten to fifteen points higher, the average person is quite ' happy and comfortable. Why not boost the canning plant that is wanted by five hundred or , more farmers in this locality? j Looks like a good improvement, that would employ labor and provide a market for tomatoes, piekies and other products of the farm. Your gross income tax report ' must be ill by the end of the month : and your federal income lax re-.: port, provided of course you have to make one, by March 15th. The sooner you get these things out of the way. the better it is for your ease of mind. Your subscription to the Daily Democrat can he renewed now for the old price of three dollars a year. This is the only paper we j know of that hasn't increased its | price the past few years and it contains many times as much news | of the community than any other. • Do it now. - The Jrills are pouring into the house and senate now and the Hoosier golems will soon be working overtime. Many of the pro-. posed acts are as foolish as those of former sessions have been but perhaps out of all of it, some improvements can be made. Leaders have decided to give more attention to enactments than to useless and expensive investigations, designed for political purposes ~ only. President Roosevelt talked about “tweedledum" Democrats in his speech at the Jackson dinner the other evening and of course he is right. We either favor the policies enunciated in the platform or we don't and carrying water on both shoulders is as impossible now as It always has been. Those who

I believe In the president, and according to the Gallup pole It is ‘ some flfty-six per cent of all ths voters, will agree that he deserves j 'such support from congress and the senate as will help him in his ' efforts to help all the people. t President Roosevelt declared in ’•ihls message to Congress that the 11 ’ right to work at a living wage is I the modern equivalent to the dec2 laratlon of Independence. Cover-! I) j nor Townsend put it in even more 5 striking language when he drew J from his experience as a farmer > j and told the legislature "if you ) buy a farm horse and feed him | only when you work him, the horse ' will die. Yet some complain of. the necessity of feeding the people ; whom we need to keep our society going.” Perhaps the payment of an annual wage may come, but uni til it does, there must be such dej vices us unemployment conipenl sat ion, which provides through | i contributions from our social ord- ‘ er, for the breathing spells that' come when men lose their jobs, j or their jobs are destroyed by i | technology. The homely illustra-1 lion by the Governor places the problem before the people in all its hideous reality. Tom Mooney goes free after, twenty-two years in prison and his I I public hearing was a celebration ; iof his friends. Both the governor ! and Mooney evidenced the strain j during the ceremony and Governor ; Olson collapsed shortly afterward. Mooney was convicted of planting . a bomb that exploded as a pre-1 iparedness parade was passing. Ten | were killed and forty injured. j i Mooney and others were conI denmed to death but were repriev- | ed by President Wilson. For eigh- | teen years there has been a con- j tinual demand and a tight for . Mooney's release and the cause reached all the courts in the coun- ! try. Olson made the pardon a part of his campaign and it was 1 almost his first official act. Mooney

j says he will devote his life to securing an agreement between labor factions. Opinion as to his knowledge of the massacre is divided, yet in California but few contend ihat Mooney, now a broken old man, has not been punished to I such an extent as to make him a good citizen. Local Democrats have been ini formed that tickets for the midwinter banquet of the Indiana Democratic Editorial Association in the Claypool Hotel at Indianapj olis on Saturday night, Feb. 11, j are now on sale at the office of State Auditor, Frank G. Thompson, 237 State House, and The Hoosier ! Sentinel, 210 Claypool Hotel, lu- | dianapolis. The tickets, which are $2 each, will be sold at these two places only. Mr. Thompson, who is chairman of the ticket committee, urged persons planning to attend the dinner to procure their tickets in person or by mail. A prominent party leader and orator from Washington will deliver the j principal address at the banquet, according to Ray E. Smith, general chairman. He announced that Gov. M. Clifford Townsend will I speak also, as will the two Indiana senators, Frederick Van Ntiys and | Sherman Minton, if they arc able io be present. After the speaking program there will be three hours of dancing in the beautiful Riley , room. The committee plans to decorate the lobby and banquet room for the affair, which is expected to be a highlight of the Democratic winter political activities. o—pT WENTY I AGO TODAY , From the Daily Democrat File Jun.
