Huy more bond-, and hold what you have. O—O Compare Roo-evelt and Dewey. Which do you think would write the best peace terms and be fair? esl? Mr. Di>wey is the prosecutor type while Mr. Ro.wevelt is a humanitarian. —o President Roosevelt toured NewYork City .Saturday, riding in an open car during a rain. Evidently he L not afraid of his health even if some of those opposing him profess io be worried. —o According to the Gallop poll, young voters — those between the ages of 21 to 2!' are for Roosevelt, 59%. That's practically the same ration of their vote four years ago. They are looking ahead. O—O it will take a year after the "go" sign before you can buy a new automobile according to the Automotive Council fur War Production. The signal may be given by the end of this year. Warsaw and Columbia City have received notices that stream pollutlou must stop. The orders are identical with those received in this city and indicate that the clean-up of Indiana rivers is,general. O—O The Harding and Coolidge program did not prove very good for the farmer or for labor or for business and Mr. Dewey is supported by the same forces that backed them. Think it over voters. O—O—— Whatever became of a man named Mussolini who was the front man a few years ago and who frequently told how he would dispose of the "weak democracies of the world?" Last reports he had the ague. —O—O It's easy lor Mr. Dewey to proclaim that he has some secret method by which he can prevent unemployment but It would be morn Interesting to learn just what that plan is. If he has one. he should give It to the nation and the world. O—O Mr. Dewey Is bidding for the labor and farm vote and trying to prove what he says but the funniest thing —he la supported by many who have proven themselves opposed to the policies that will aid either labor or the farmer. Something wrong. For a ropy of the Decatur Daily Democrat go to Lose Brun. Restaurant or The Stopbach on gale each evening 4 C

Wonder if the Jap leaders have forgotten the march of death they put on just after the fall of Corregidor and Bataan Well, General MacArthur hasn't and when he gets through on the Islands the barbarians of the Rising Sun will have their recollections refreshed. What with the difficulty in going places these days, the attendance at the rural political meetings Is surprisingly large. The people are Interested. Several Democratic meetings are announced for this week and next and you are cordially invited to attend any or all of them. Get posted and "fly right." O—O Police tell us that most of the boy., are giving heed to the warnings not to destroy property as Halloween season approaches but a few are still showing tendencies of engaging In vandalism. They should be told by their parents for arrests will certainly follow such acts. Please cooperate this year boys, it's so important. Public meetings and speeches may not change many votes but they do arouse interest and aid in getting out the vote on election ilay. That's the main purpose, if th, people vote its an expression of the majority and that's usually right. Help get out the largest vote In history this year. It will show our belief in a democracy. o—o The United States Chamber of Commerce says that after the war retailers will need to be prepared to sell from thirty to fifty percent more merchandise and service* than they ever did in their beat pre-war year. Largest retail sales were >74.000.u00.000 but If we do what Is hoped and expected and needed to sustain employment levels, that figure will go up to a hundred billion per annum. O—O M. Clifford Townsend, former governor of Indiana, will speak In Decatur Thursday evening. Mr Townsend is really a friend of the farmer and the laborer. He has proved it. He was for many years connected with farm organisations in the state and as governor he established the Labor Department. He knows your problems and bls talk should be of deep interest to any who want the fact*. He has been a laborer, farmer and school teacher and made good at all avocations In which he has engaged. We're Walking Miles: The much bemoaned cigarette shortage which has been growing more acute tor several months reached a new peak early this week m the last minute rush to send gifts oversea*. No one can object to the fighting rnen'e receiving the cigarettes and the short supply for civilians may be a blessing in disguise. Whether the shortage is caused by n great increase in the number of smokers, or whether tobacco Is being withheld along the market for some obscure reason, we do not pretend to know. But the scarcity of our favorite brands is teaching us the folly of some things we thought were true. Physicians long have urged smoker* to vary their brands Now that advice Is superfluous.
