The Democratic Senators voted
last week with the stand-pat Repub-
licans and defeated the state primary
bill in the senate. There must have
been some serious defects in the bill,
or else the Democratic senators do
not know what democracy is. Proper.
ly drafted state primary bill would
bring the government closer to the
voter than it is at present, and that
would be in the line Of true demo-
cracv.

loss by fire when old North college,
containing $50 rooms, was practically
destroyed. The fire which started in
the attic, burned so rapidly that little
was saved. The loss is placed at $780,

building was erected in 1927 and
formed the nucleus of the present col

AN EDITORS APPEAL
To Brother Publishers in Behalf of the
Lost Child of DR.. Byers Of seeley-
vile, Indiana.

Ii the editor of every paper in the
central west will republish these
lines there is no question but what
DIR. S. L. Byers Of Seeleyville, Ind,
will recover his little son who was
stolen from his home one year ago
last May. DIR. Byers has spent his
entire resources in search for his
child and unless the big hearted
members of the press come to his as
sistance his son will grow up an out
law and an outcast among the low
est people of the earth. 1t is a cause
that should appeal to everyone and
no father reading these lines can do
SO without quickening of the heart
and sympathetic throb. 1t is be-
lieved that if this article is reprinted
in the newspapers it will form an
endless chain that will uncover the
lost boys concealment and return
him to his distracted parents. In
doing this the profession Of journal
ism will be fulfilling one of its high
est destinies.
Publishers whose circulations
touch the Wabash, Ohio and Miss
issippi valleys are especially re-
quested to reproduce this story of
the lost child as DR.. Byers believes
his boy is now on some houseboat
waiting to take the road in the spring.
There is reward OF $500, awaiting
any information that will lead to the
boys recovery. No questions will
be asked and if the abductor him
self would deliver the boy to his par
ents he would not be molested. The
bereaved parents are heartbroken
with grief and want only their child.
If each journal will reprint these
lines they will travel to every ex
change table in the United States
and bring back to a wretched home
a child who is now no doubt, suffer
ing with cold, unfed and wretched
to degree. Think of what your
own feelings would be under similar
circumstances! This appeal is in
dicted originally by apublisher who
saw DR.. Byers only once, has no per
sonal interest in his quest other than
the bond of sympathy that makes
the world akin, and is inspired from
the belief that the lost boy can only
be found through the united effort O
the country press Of which he ii
proud to bea member. His recov
cry will be triumph in advertising
and no editor whose heart is placed
right will refuse this appeal. Re
member, it may be your child next
The following is a description o
the lost boy:

years old last July, is of light com
plexion, has gray eyes; left eye no
