Hitler; isn't going to resign and England is not going to call it quits. o o Moat senators and congressmen probably feel it wasn't necessary to proclaim letter-writing week. Q. „O Letter writing week is being Observed throughout the country, a lot of us knowing that first of the mouth would bring mail in many other forms. 4 '"O - Former Governor Al Smith, of New York, speaking of President Roosevelts request to Congress to repeal the arms embargo act, aaid. "He Is so clearly right." oo If you are going to buy a new automobile, go around and see your local dealer. He has the new model on display and you have your choice of the leading makes, ugbt here at home. o—o Beginning tomorrow tbe world series will hold the spotlight in national interest, the Yankees and • Cincinnati Reds meeting in New | York tor the first game of the I series. Basebail is the great American sport and right now the country needs a sport of thia kind to quiet its nerves and think of something else besides war. The Daily Democrat will print a play-by-play account of each game. —4 The Hoy Scouts were honored ■ last night at tbe high school. the fathers being invited to go with their sous to see them receive their awards. It was an Interest- ■ Ing and helpful meeting, dedicated to tbe thought that a boy properly directed will mature Into a worth-while and helpful eititen. The Scout officials here are doing good work and are to be congratulated on tbe interest shown boy- * hood. ■ o o The proposed half million dollar improvement to the City Light and Power Plant would practically be impossible as a financial undertaking it the city didn’t already have a nest egg of Sioo.otw) in tJ. 8. Government bonds and about lioo.ooo In cash, laid aside from past earnings. It's always wise to prepare tor a ‘ rainy day" and to put aside earnings for the lime when expansion and Improvements require large outlay of fund*. , o—o Spacial attention will be given by the Sports Department of the Dully Democrat to high school and local sports events this fall and wmter. We want the schools and coachea to feel that our reporters want the news and doings in school athletic events and luvite them to cooperate with uu in furnishing those items which are not only of Interest to the boys and girls, but to everybody, reO€

Such great men us former Governor Al Smith and Father Coughlin take opposite aides on the repeal of the arms embargo act. ■ Roth are sincere in presenting their side of the story and both want the country to keep out of war. They presented their arguments for and against the law in a radio broadcast. Governor Smith making his first public utterance since the campaign of 1»S«. H’s a much discussed question, whiteheat hot In Interest and whatever course Is followed We hope it's the i right one. o—o Both sides of the arms embargo act and the proposed new neutrality law art- being given the public, through the press and over the radio. Leaders tn government, politics, religion and business are ! discussing the question and giving their opinions and conclusions. It will be up to Congress to decide which policy the country Is to .adopt and then we should all get I together and work for the best InI terests of America. Both aides can't win. but both sides can help lin bringing understanding among : the people, all devoted to maintaining peace in the United States. o—o The state highway commission , today received bids for the build- * ing of three bridges on the new ?U. S >7 by-pass west and north of Decatur. The general road contract has already been let and - preliminary work is being done. ; The bridges will be built next year ' and by next August part of the heavy truck and through passenger car traffic now coming through Decatur will be diverted over the new road. In ail probability the , trucks will be routed over tbe byimss, which will help a lot in elimI mating present traffic congestion on Winchester and Second streets. -4 Already 44.0 M persons are drawpM «>'* pensions in Indiana and It Is estimated that in another five years the roster will be up to 77.00 U. However, the list may not grow that rapidly since the federal government will begin payment next January of the pensions to retired workers and under the law checks can't be drawn from both places. In most cases how- ‘ ever, those who are drawing pensions from the county welfare 1 star da fire not employed or have no other means of earning a living. so the list may increase at an average of more than two thousand a year. O—O Th*- half million dollar addition, j to the City Light and Power plant ■ will give that industry a book | value exceeding 41.50n.0v0, not in.eluding the water works. That's big Investment, requiring the i most careful watching and management. both from the point of manufacturing electricity and pur- i i chasing supplies necessary to oper- j ate it. With most of its earnings pledged to pay off the *3oe,ooi) tn bonds aud Interest, the utmost . care should be used to see that , the taxpayer la not burdened with i increased taxes by the elimination of the cash donation from the utility to general fund. .... o t>— A churchman of note, an educator and talented student and a lover of Arncrii a and its fredom. was removed from the American scene in the death of George Cardinal Mundelin of Chicago. The Cardinal's death occurred Monday, and came so peacefully that members of his household did not know the end had come until he i failed to respond to their call. He i built one of the leading thoologi leal college* in the country at I Mundellu. Illinois, aud was consld--1 ered one of the most able men i ever to be elevated to the College I of Cardinals. When be spoke on i public questions he left no doubt i where he stood. He was firm in i his belief of religious freedom aud i severely condemned the persecu- ■ tion of churches in Germany aud other countries.
