The lecture by Ear! Albert Rowell was instruc- j five and interesting and should , lijltei beets heard Ity all who are | interested in the welfare of the people. If you doubt the value of advertising you should read what managers of the largest stores iu the country say. Most of them use

j newspapers almost exclusively for j advertising purposes uud those ; that do have made the greatest i successes of business. Os course it pays and those who think otherwise are Just foolishly standing iu ' their own light. The mutter of keeping the treasury of Indiana lit balance Is one that Interests every citizen regard- | less of politics and with that iu view Governor Townsend is conferring with the loaders of each party to work out the most equitable program. If they get down to reul business and forget for a tew days the politics that has ! been played, they will do a great I favor for the Hooslcrs. Looks i like they intend to do that. Robert Sovine has a small hut interesting farm exhibit in the north window at this office. Take a look. It is prize winning wheat, corn and potatoes. Mr. Sovine has his own ideas about farming and how to make it pay. He handles his own reserve and is now currying over 3,000 bushels of wheat, a supply of corn and otln r products He finds this system pays well and his ideas if generally followed would no doubt prove of value to thousands of others who could do it just as easily. Those who predicted last November that the Democratic- party was dead in Indiana or at least moribund. spoke too soon. The sudden and most unexpected revival in Republican ranks, the election | of some city mayors, one state candidate and a margin in the lower house of the legislature galvanized the Democratic party instead of delivering a knock-out blow. As i evidence of this, look at the reservations for the Democratic editors' banquet sent to ticket chairman , Frank G. Thompson. There is no i lack of interest. It has not yet become a Republican gathering of editors, who crawl away to a state park. There is every prospect that in attendance and enthusiasm, the meeting will be one of the largest ip the history of the organiza- j tion. Instead of predicting defeat in in 10, the Democratic editors have accepted the challenge and declare “we have just begun to tight.” — For many years we have been listening to wails of vlewers-with-alarnt crying about how women have been taking away the jobs that men somehow came to regard as their special perogativc. Thus it is interesting to learn that the worm has turned, the man has bitten the dog. and there is something new under the sun. For now the men are taking the women's jobs. And Mary Anderson, director of the Woman's Bureau of the Department of Labor, is just as indignant as any man has been at the intrusion of women into “men's jobs.” Men are “encroaching,” Miss Anderson reports, "in woman’s traditional fields in,retail trade, hotels and restaurants, laundries, office work, textiles, [I men's clothing, and confectionery." I She wants more vocational training for women, ami development ot new lines ot work fpto which women ran go. It., i-. hard to seel why sauce for the goose is not an equally good condiment for the | gander. And why, if il was all right for w'omcu to take men's jobs in their “traditional fields'' a Tew years back, shouldn't men take I them back again? — Frankfort Morning Times. o j ♦— —♦!

is taken up by oily tougued orators and shyster politicians, who make a living spreading sueli deception as. "There is no danger. It is oniv a temporary condition. Everything will he all right in u few mouths. Don’t get scared, there is nothing to fear. It is physcological and uot real. A high protective tariff oil farm commodities will straighten everything out in thirty days.” While the innocent investors are | listening to such propaganda, a fiu- ! uncial landslide caries them to the 1 valley below. Bleeding aud toru with their morale shattered, they I saiider aimlessly for a long time, then they slowly pull themselves tout her and by years of hard work, their efforts are crowned with suc- ! cess. Normal times lias l’fted its form above the horizon, clouds iof despair have been dispersed .the light ot hope, time has healel the wounds of sorrow, smoke/ clouds belching from industrial smokestacks blot out past memories, a new bank roll steadies the hand that gripped the knob of a i closed bank door, busy clerks, who are selling merchaudies to agreeable customers have taken; the place of auctioneers who sold bankrupt stock over the block, fath-i tr time lias thinned the ranks of tlio brave citizens who bore the, brunt of the struggle. Time marches on speed is being worshipped without direction. Again prosperity with) his broad smile lures another gen-j cration up a mountain of promise: and again they are hurled to the | foot of the range. This mine ex- 1 t eriem-e has been repeated time

— i ~nd time again, and yet a goodly . number of intelligent people still , tiling that a high protective tariff lb tlio only thing that wil lsave our nation. A leading business man recently made the remark, "Our nation has always had prosperity under a high protective tariff.” Since history proves this to he true, i’. locks like a scathing denunciation of all that 1 have written. However, we should consider that our nation . can not digest prosperity, siueo it , upsets our economic system. His i view i>oiiit is the lest argument • against such a tariff, that . have , heard for a long time. Why should we build mountains of wealth, When figuratively speaking. only a small per cent of the population can live on them? Swollen fortunes are as dangerous as swollen streams, therefore, the j greatest need of our nation is not prosperity but normal times. —Robert Sovine FAIR, COLDER (CONTINUED FROM CAGE ONE) northern Nebraska yesterday was I centered today over northern Min--1 nesota and was moving northeast! ward.
