They have put in faithful time and the results make one glad they live in progressive, up-to-date, hustling Decatur. The list of pledges include nearly all the business element of the town. That list of pledges speak as no other recommendation could speak. It tells the tale of pride in present attainments and hopes for the future. They see what it takes to push ahead and their business judgment tells them as an investment there is nothing that will bring them better returns. The lot sale Tuesday is the all absorbing question. It will outrival any previous business undertaking and on the evening of sale day Decatur will be possessor of a fund that will make our city grow and expand, and the benefits thereof will live until the end of time. This is the nature of the work now being done. It is an inspiration to labor where the future of a city and her people is at stake. Those who are yet a little cold in the cause should get their blood to circulating. They should warm up. They should catch the spirit and get into the game. Every pledger and every other prospective buyer of a lot should be promptly on hand Tuesday. The lots will all be sold and if you have any paiticular spot in mind, be there to bid when it is offered. Fe there to help in making the sale a success.

Everybody— including father— will have plenty to do Tuesday. Be there and do your part. Before J. Pierpont Morgan engaged actively in the organization of trusts and at a time when a movement was on foot to organize a thirty-five mili lion dollar print paper trust, the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette gave a short history of the principal trust organizations —those for the control of , whisky, sugar, cordage, leather, beer, starch, lead, linseed and cotton seed oils, printing type, etc., and reached the conclusion that “there is nothing very formidable in trusts of any kind.” The whisky trust was disastrous, the sugar trust disgraceful, the ■ cordage trust disreputable, the brew- • ers’ trust unsuccessful a a monopoly, . the starch trust a financial failure, 'the lead trust honestly managed, but not a success, and so on, to the end of the list. This, please remember, was published some years ago. The trusts organized since have been more formidable. Eventually, however, they i will go to pieces. History always rei peats itself. —South Bend Times. ■ I Senator Beveridge is watching the movements of his enemies and his Indiana friends keep him apprised of what is going on in different parts of the state. The corporations are after Beveridge. He is lining up too close ■ with the Democrats on many impor- ; tant questions. He favors strict control of corporati ons, urges sending railroad who violate the law, to prison and concedes that the tariff needs revision. Is there any wonder why the “standpatters” are planning to plunder Beveridge preserves.—Logansport Pharos. WITH SCHAFER HARDWARE CO. W. W. Watts Will Resume His Former Position.
