Were it not for recognizing merit and good business judgment, we would express regret over the announcement that Judge Richard K. Erwin will leave Decatur and locate in Fort Wayne. Judge Erwin has always lived in Adams county, and for twenty-two years has resided in this city, where he easily attained a prominent place as a lawyer and citizen. The many ties made are as sacred as they are binding and their partial severance now bring many pangs of regret. But with this regret, comes the knowledge that Judge Erwin will soon rise to a place of prominence in his new home. The Democrat but voices the sentiment of every Inhabitant of Adams county, when it expresses regret that he leaves us, but adds the hope that prosperity will help pay for the severance of many friendly ties. How does this strike you. It is the voice of a rural newspaper man

out in Texas: “Let’s banish from our minds all doubts and fears concerning the ultimate success of this country, and get to work with a grim determination to succeed. The only way to accomplish anything is to work for it. No man can hope for success unless he has energy enough to get out and hustle. A croaker makes a doleful noise and the most appropriate place for him is a graveyard. Get into the front ranks. Be of the bunch that say I will.” This is applicable to all parts of this incomparable country. Congressman Adair still remains at his post of duty in Washington. The latest evidei'’'' o' this fact comes in the announce ner* of his introduction of a bill removing the tariff duty on lumber, and t Ugraphfc dispatches say that such a law would save his constituents alone more than one hundred thousand dollars in one year. If this is a fair estimate, will some one please figure out the saving in every congressional district in the country? It is a deserving bill and again demonstrates that the eighth district congressman is playing the congressional game with an eye single to those whom he promised to serve. It is given out that within a few days former congressman Cromer will announce his candidacy for congress. As we are familiar with the spectacular in republican politics in this district such au announcement will fail to even cause a ripple of excitement. Even the ultra anti-Cromerites have given up in despair and are not even hoping against hope. DEMOCRAT WANT ADO. FAY.

At the meeting of the Huntington County Medical society Tuesday evening at the city hall the doctors freely condemned a certain kind of advertising in the newspapers, says the Huntington Democrat. It was the opinion of the society that there existed an : anxiety on the part of the physicians to have their names attached to news items which came through their practice. This, all agreed, is detrimental to the best interests of the medical profession and should be stopped at once. Resolutions were passed severely criticizing this practice, a copy 1 of which will be presented to the editors of each paper. The main provisions of the resolutions are that hereafter the name of the doctor must be omitted from any i news item coming through his office. 1 This is according to the letter of the , resolutions though it is understood that when a very important operation is performed mention of the name of 1 the physician will be permissible. The ’ officers of the society have been in--1 structed to furnish a list of the mem--1 bers of the society to the newspapers with a copy of these resolutions at the same time requesting that the wish of the pill givers be observed. i TO LEAVE DECATUR (Continued from page 1.) nor this year.

MilcT Hazing. The proprietor of a plumbing establishment downtown Las a poor opinion of goat initiations. A young man. dapper and twenty, came into his plumbing shop and asked to see an expensive porcelain bathtub. The proprietor explained at length the good qualities of a certain make. “This seems to be an excellent one,” said the young man. Without warning he jumped into the bathtub, drew his coat closely around him and exclaimed: “Quick, turn on the water: I want to try it.” The proprietor thought he was Insane and. soothing his head, said, “There, there, you’re all right.” “Yes.” the young man gurgled, splashing in the imaginary water: “it’s very comfortable.” Then he began to squirm and splutter. “Quick, quick.’” he cried. “Turn off the water! I’m drowning.”’ “Wait till I reach the faucet,” said the proprietor softly, side stepping to Ithe telephone. Just at this moment two other young ! men. a trifle older, entered. “Well. Bobby, had your bath?” they inquired. “Yes.” “Then come down to the vegetarian restaurant and order a side of roast beef.” —New York Globe. 1 Good as a Corkscrew. "Do you know bow to take a tight i cork out of a bottle without a corkscrew?” was asked by a woman the other day at a gossip party. “It’s a mighty good thing to know in an I emergency. "My sister and I were coming back j from the mountains, and she got faint on the csrs. I had a bottle of aromatic spirits of ammonia in my bag. but when I tried to get the cork out I simply couldn’t make it budge. “ ‘Let me take it out for you,’ suggested a man across the aisle. “Then, borrowing my pocketknife and using his own with it, he removed the cork in a jiffy. He inserted the blades on opposite sides between the bottle and the cork, each one turned ,in a different direction. Then when ; the blades were firmly pushed in he | simply pressed the two together, gave ! them a wrench sideways, and the cork came out without any trouble. I have since tried it on larger bottles with success It is a trick worth knowing.” —Exchange. — The Quest of Truth. It Is a good deal easier to poke fun at history than to write history meriting credence. Mr. Bodley when writing his "France” experienced the force of this In a curious way. He shut himself up in France for years to get the atmosphere and the knowledge necessary for his work. One of his trials arose over some question of electoral jurisprudence. It was not of international Importance, but still interesting to students of comparative procedure. Therefore he wrote to a deputy who is a parliamentary expert to clear up the obscurity In which the text books involve the point and incor porated his reply in the text of the book. Later, being invited by an experienced mayor to be present at a poii over which ho presided, Mr. Bodley t the question to him and recelv a quite different reply. Finally the author referred the point to a senator of indisputable authority, who showed that the deputy and the mayor were both wrong.—St James’ Gazette. Woman's Wit An emperoi of Germany besieged a city which belonged to one of his rebellious noblemen. After the siege had , lasted for a long time the emperor determined to take it by storm and to destroy all it contained by fire and sword. He did not, however, wish to injure the defenseless women; therefore, he sent a proclamation into the town, saying that all the women might leave the place unhurt and carry with them whatever they held most precious. The nobleman's wife instantly decided to take her husband, and the other woL men followed her example. They soon issued from the city gate in a long pro- : cession, each one with her husband on l her shoulders. The emperor was so much struck ■with the noble conduct of the women that he spared all; even the , rity itself was left untouched.
