of recreation available. The boys and girls will have a lot of fun with the swings, slides and other devices which can be used at the several parks in Decatur. In fact, we have quite a variety for both: young and old. —o—o—- , _ Theoretically at least, the national political conventions are the voices of the parties. Delegates are sent for the prime purpose of naming candidates and framing platforms upon which they will stand before the voters. In actual practice however, it rarely works that .way. Naming the candidates, yes, forming a platform is unlikely for it would prove to be a tedious process causing long drawn out conventions and terrifie expense for the delegates. It has been carefully prepared in advance, offending few and designed for widespread voter appeal. Long and interrupted debate is avoided, flareups are averted and a better set of planks is the net result. After all, victory is most important and much goes on behind the scenes to make for greater party harmony. Consequently, a national convention is the voice of the - party to just a certain extent —o The recent decision of the city council to authorize the board of works to purchase power from a private utility was not entirely unexpected. The series of articles has pointed out the expanding needs of our community and the inadequacy of our steam “"-a nd, v increased consumption. It would seem to be wise that we shall continue it>' utilize <>i>t present facilities until such time that renovation or replacement would necessitate a further pinch. In as much as the present utilities are owned by the people of Decatur, it is their prerogative—decide upon final disposition. As has been pointed out a referendum is mandatory in case the properties would be sold, now it behooves each of us to give serious thought to our properties. Would a poll of some sort aid you in making up your own mind? Should some civic group initiate such a movement? Actually, how interested are you?

Little Publicity To 1856 Election Little Heed Paid Then By Newspapers WASHINGTON (UP) — A century ago, bf course, it whs election year, too. But you wouldn’t know it from reading the papers. The New York Times and the Washington Intelligencer and the Star were aiming editorial barbs at the leader of the day. President Franklin Pierce, who had the temerity to veto a rivers and harbor bill. Sponsors of the bill were bitter id their attacks upon the New Hampshire Democrat and let it be known they were not sorry Mr. Pierce was about to wind up a tenure which the man himself did not want. Pierce had strong southern sympathies. The south liked him and because of an accident of birth the north “tolerated him.” He didn’t campaign at all in 1852. The public prints of the day paid little heed to politics except On the editorial pages. Historians today have to go to the record to find out what was going on because the papers were split for and agin’.. . ’ Pierce, actually might have had a second term if he had put his, mind to it. Without opening his mouth he carried all but four states,' which was something of a record tor the course at ....... «.kue. James C. Buchanan won the nomination for the Democrats and came through with a popular vote of 1,927,995 against John C. Freemont’s 1,391,555 on the GOP ticket. On the electoral vote, Buchanan racked up 174 to 114 for his rival. Actually in 1856 the papers were more concerned with paid advertisements which always populated a great part of page one. These included announcements from the government, also paid. One was signed by James Guthrie, then secretary of treasury, who announced that our Uncle was ready and able to redeem several series of government bonds at the going rate of interest. Apparently, the holders of same wanted to keep on holding because the ads ran for a number of issues in all papers to the delight of the publishers. Signs of the times are interesting to note. One. Mr. Anthony, who had a shop on 7th Street near Peansyivafiia;AyMiue<jaftowed.ihat he had a "full supply of fine drab ventilated hats for $3.50.” Anthony told the folks these were the “best buy for the price in the United States,” but he hastened to add

that he had some better oKee at $4 a lid. A picture showed the ventilated toppers were of the stove-pipe variety.. < The old Intelligencer, a leading local print of the day, carried an ad which read: "1480 acres of Texas land for sale within 18-20 miles of Cornua Christi, Tex. Well timbered and rich land having special public roads passing through. We will sell this land for 81 per acre or any part thereof for *1.60. Taxes all paid." And the Star printed a sample of the humor of the day, thusly: “At a hotel the other evening a young and fully mustached dandy from Squankim, N.J. was seated at a tea table at a rather late hour. A bar keeper came in and topk a seat opposite. The dandy dropped his knife and fork, tipped back and gazed at the barkeep and said: ’Fellah, does the servants sup with a gentleman in thia house?’ ’No eir,’ was the reply. ‘Are you not the barkeep?’ ’Yes sir.’ ‘Well a barkeep is a help as much as a scrub girl.’ Man of the i toddy stick said ’True, hut I did not enter until I looked in and saw there was no gentleman at the table. Ahem’. Poor Jersey vanished behind his shirt collar.” ’—■ — Boy Slightly Hurt When Hit By Auto Jeffrey Beery, two-year-old son , of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Beery of Decatur route two. escaped serious Injury when he was struck by a moving automobile Saturday afternoon at.tfc* ■'W route five. ‘ ' The boy apparently released the emergency brake of the parked vehicle and then either fell or jumped into its path as it started to roll downhill. No one witnessed the accident. He was taken to the Adams county memorial hospital, where x-rays revealed no internal injuries despite the fact that his back showed the mark of a tire. He suffered only acut to one ear and bruises. He was released from the.hospital Sunday.
