It’s easy to discredit those who | try to be progressive and to in- j Jure the reputation of honest people, but it’s so much better to say nice things about your neighbor.

' Stan Galbreath who couldn't j sleep, so put in his nights by driv- i ing around, looking over prospects for burglarizing houses, will find 1 it somewhat difficult to adjust himself to a narrow cell in prison, which his confessions indicate he may expect for the next several years. — — ■■!■ There has perhaps never been a time w-heu there was so much news of interest-affairs in Europe, congress, legislature, threats of war, improved business, happenings in court, affairs of the city, county and state —you want to keep informed. Renew your subscription to the Daily Democrat this mouth. The talk of economies in Indiana government continues and is en couraging. The legislature certainly should not go wild on appropriations that will unbalance the budget during the next two-year period. The way to do that is to reduce appropriations and if necessary, cut overhead. Now is the time to do it, rather later. Newsiiaper reports tell about a Kansas boy who plays basketball i successfully, though he has but j one leg and has to support him- i self on a crutch. In a recent game he made eleven points. He deserves a medal, not only for be ing a good player but for having courage to battle ou, regardless of an unfortunate handicap. The legislature is closing its fifth full week without a bill hav ing passed, except of course the expense appropriation. In a manner that may be a good thing but the danger of such a session is the wiud-up, when they will rush bills through so rapidly that they can’t be discussed and given proper thought. Important < measures should be disposed of the next fortnight and either passed or killed Tom Mooney, who served twentytwo years of a life prison sentence in San Quentin and who was finally pardoned by Governor Olsen now wants to divorce his wife who never let. the battle for his freedom die down, who sacrificed and worked to earn a living and who had more lo do with his ultimate release than all she others together. Sucl* an action on Mooney’s part will make millions loose I'uitli ill him. J?L '■ — Voters of Indiana will very likely be given the privilege of voting in the primaries for candidates for United States senator and gover-

nor in 1910. There has been a considerable demand for this and while many do not favor it a surI vey by authority of Governor Townsend has shown that a majorj ity do. As u result the governor ! has announced his approval of such an amendment to the present primary luws of the state and it will become a law. Walter Card has been appointed chairman of the committee to solicit membership iu the Decatur i Chamber of Commerce. The campaign for this purpose will be made next week, starting Monday. Every business man, manufacturer and general citizen who believes in Decatur and wants its progress to continue, should become a mem j ber of this organization, join iu its 1 purpose and help in those movements designed to bring new in- ' dustries here and to aid those now | in Decatur. Rex Bush, twenty-year-old boy j from Mentone, Indiana, who shot i and killed the night marshall at ' Clyde, Ohio, December 6th, has been convicted in his trial at Fremont, Ohio. The jury, however, recommended mercy and under the law that makes his mandatory seni tence life imprisonment. Bush had I been a good boy but decided on a | life of adventure, started out, got hungry and desperate, held up a , lilting station, got 75 cents and 1 when the night officer, Neal Fowlj er, tried to stop hint, murdered j him. How any youth can figure sueh things are smart, is beyond us and Rex will no doubt agree afi ter while if he doesn’t now. i— THE PRESIDENT’S POLICY: President Roosevelt has issued a vigorous denial of sueh lies as I the one which quoted him as say--1 ing "The American frontier is now the Rhine river,” and gives his policy ill the following: "No. 1: We are against any entangling alliances, obviously. “No. 2: We are in favor of the maintenance of world trade for everybody—all nations — including ourselves. "No. 3: We are in complete sympathy with any and every es ford made to reduce or limit armaments. "No. 4: As a Nation —as American people —we are sympathetic with (he peaceful maintenance of political, economic and social independence of all nations in the world.” Every good American will subscribe to this position and will aid the President iu keeping this nation out of eutauglI ug alliances. The old stand by, the full crew j law, is back in the state legislai ture, this time with the railroads asking for repeal of the act pass!ed in 1937. Its principal features require railroads to add an extra brakeman in Indiana ou freight trains of more than four cars. Railroad officials assert that there is no relationship between safety of railroad employes and passengers and the addition of extra employes required by the law. They point out that Indiana had a full crew law for several years prior to 1921, when the original law was repealed, and that tor the threeyear period 1918 lo 1920 accidents in Indiana to employes averaged 1,372 annually-, while during the three-year period, 1927 to 1929, when there was no full crew law but when traffic was heavier, employe accidents averaged 939, a reduction of 32 per cent. During the same time, passenger accidents were reduced from 116 to 74, a decline of 36 per cent. The railroads claim the law results iu an additional expense of $700,000 a year.—Newcastle Courier-Times. f —o Man, 71, Eats 120 Oysters Sydney, N. S. W. —(UP)—T. W.

yy jrs/f w. | y/p Because automobile drivers in the country have been aroused to the need of safe driving. America reduced its automobile fatalities In 193 S by at least 7,500 Accurate figures are not yet available but the first 11 mouths of '3B showed thut reduction All you readers have helped to establish this fine record The suviug of 7,500 lives proves that by concentrated effort a furthei reduction is possible ffi 1939. That is your job. Safety is an individual problem. Slates, counties, and cities can inauguiate safety programs but actual application of safe driving is the lesponsibility of the mau behind the wheel. Safety is 99% common senseaccidents are 99% thoughtless hurry. It’s smart to drive carefully. . ——o Son Called “Sir Isaac” Newfane. Ct. —(UP)—So interested in the writing of English scientist Sir Isaac Newton was Marshal Newton, builder of the Sibley farmhouse here in 1786, that he named his second son “Sir Isaac. This son always was know by the name, and it is inscribed on his tombstone in a nearby cemetery.
