Al! the business houses were closed with the exception of some of the restaurants and soft drink places. Perhaps the greater number of our people Iy far staved at home the entire day, others picnicked at various places, while some went to Kankakee, others to Crown Point and some to Monticello. It is said that at Kankakee 50 cents Admission was charged to the grounds where the celebration was held, and many bucked at this right at the gates.

DRAFT BOARD APPEARS UNFAIR

(Continued from page one)

tically every other member or assistant was paid for the same Class of work, "after a member of the board had gone over to Newton county and found that the board there were making a charge for their services. " Admitting that the duties of this board are such that it is difficult to please everyone, it should be their aim to try to "please" no one, but perform their duties in a fair, open and impartial manner without fear or favor. If they do this and make their acts public they will have the confidence of the people. Otherwise criticism must be expected. So far as The Democrat is concerned it asks no special favors in the way of giving out the lists of registrants, reclassification, names of men cotm prising the quotas to be sent to the various camps, etc., but it does ask to be treated .the same as the Republican in this respect. .That it is the intention of the government that all this information should be made public is evident from ths attitude that has governed thd drawing and posting of names. Yet here, and especially in recent months, it has been difficult to secure information from the local board. The Democrat has gone to the county clerk’s office for lists and been told that we could have same, but Dr. Loy was the clerk of the board and had the lists and we must go to him. We. have then gone to Loy who refused to give out the information in some instances, saying it was not ready to be made public and would not be for a couple of days yet, and within a halt hour from the time we were at Loy’s office the names appeared ■in the Republican, the list evidently having been given the Republican and were in type some time before it was refused us be. cause of "not being ready for a day or two yet." It was 100 late then for The Democrat to publish the list for the information of its readers over the county until practically the day the men selected were called to entrain. We secured information that in the recent’ reclassification of registrants *here seventy men had been taken from deferred classification and placed in Class 1. This came from one of the two Republican attorneys who assisted in this reclassification —who evidently did not know there whs any secrec,, about it. And right here it might be well to note that no Democratic representation .was had. Last Tuesday we asked for th*, names of the men so reclassed, and were informed by Mr. Nichols that we could secure the list from Loy. Going to Loy, the latter said the list was not ready to give out — although a great many registrants had already received their cards of notification. Wednesday the chairman of the board said, "Babcock can have that list if he wants it; Loy has no right to keep it from the public. If he will come over I will give hirai. the list today," although only Loy as clerk had the official list. Loy said Wednesday, "The Democrat can have the list Friday,” yesterday, too late to get it into type without letting something else go. The excuse given by Loy was that some of the "appeals .were not yet back from the district board ai Laporte.” Now The Democrat was not asking or caring about what the district board done. What it wanted was to know w hat the local board had done; the names of the seventy men who had been changed to Class 1. The action of the district board is made public and is published in the Indianapolis papers right along. If no influence is attempted by the local boards it is not responsible for what the district board does, and the local board’s acts have nothing whatever to do with those of the district board. The Democrat contends that the

people of Jasper county have as much right to this class of information as have the people of other counties, and that Democrat react* ers are entitled to as early Information as are Republican readere; that It is an injustice to deny it such information while giving it to the Republican. It also contends that its party has been treated unfairly all thd way through in being denied representation on this board either in clerks or permanent member, a fact which Governor Goodrich has r adnritted over his own signature, and said that apparently ours was the only county in the state in which this injustice had been done.

SYMPATHY NOT CALLED FOR

Further Proof That the Man Who Keeps Pegging Away Will Generally Come Out on Top. Once there was a cobbler who was deaf and mute. But in spite of his misfortune he got along, for he was a good workman, and his shop was equipped with modern machinery. One day there passed that way * disciple of the universal brotherhood of man, who had a soft spot In his heart for unfortunate fellows. It was a wet day, and he stopped tn to get his shoes half-soled. The fellow charged him 10 cents more for the job than he had been accustomed to paying, so he howled, but when he discovered that the shoemaker could neither hear him nor make reply his wrath subsided, and he went away with sympathy In his heart. For many weeks he went about, telling every one he met to patronize the deaf and mute cobbler because he had get-up enough to hustle for a living even though he was a child of misfortune. Eventually the unfortunate fellow’s business Increased threefold, despite the fact that he charged high prices. Finally the great humanitarian left a pair of shoes to be fixed. He said that he’d call for them about five, but something delayed him and he got there about a minute after six. There was a big touring car standing In front of the place. The deaf and mute cobbler was juat leaving the shop as the brotherhood man approached, and he wouldn't unlock the door. With one hand ho pointed to the town clock In the steeple while with the other he cranked the auto at the curb. That night, after supper, the humanitarian saw hlin out joy-riding with a wife and four husky boys.

Broadway Really Thrilled.

An Interesting mlxup occurred one evening recently on Broadway, but it was ended after a few blows had been exchanged. It wasn’t a cop or anyone else who was responsible for stopping it; it was the power of patriotism. A sailor and a young man in civilian clothes were the Interested parties. They became engaged in a heated argument and went to It with bare knuckles. The sailor soon showed that he was the better boxer and it looked as though his opponent was due for a licking. Just as the Jackie was about to land a knockout, however, a Salvation army band across the street began to play “The Star Spangled Banner." Instantly the man of the sea quit fighting and stood at salute position. The civilian saw an opportunity to turn the tide of He started hts fist toward his advert sary’s nose, but suddenly checked the blow. Then his fingers relaxed and he slowly took off his hat and kept it off till the band had finished playing. With the last strain the civilian stuck out his hand. “Put it there, pal,” he said. The sailor grasped the extended hand and the battle was a thing of the past.

“Pinched” Her Own Flowers.

To a hosp Pal fnr wounded soldiers the queen of England recently sent an exceptionally beautiful bouquet that had been presented to her. The Inmates received the gift with much pleasure, says an English periodical, and to show their appreciation of her majesty’s kindness and to prove that the flowers had arrived safely they commissioned one of their number to stand at the hospital gate the following morning when the queen passed. The result was a tremendous surprise. Queen Mary, seated In her car, saw the soldier standing at the gate, bouquet In hand, and, assuming that he wished to present it to her, she had the car stopped. As the soldier exhibited the bouquet the queen took It in her hand, remarked upon its beauty, calmly appropriated it and gave word.for the car to go on. The soldier stared la amazement. Then, recovering his speech, he said: “Well, she’s pinched ’em I”
