HE RULES WITH TRUTH AND KINDNESS Mr. Bryan has said many fine things, but he has said nothing that will ap peal 'more strongly to the people of this country than the following from a speech made by him in Buffalo the other day: “I shall be content if, when my days are numbered, it can be truthfully said of me that I was a toiler, laboring as best I could. I have nothing to ask of the American people except to be permitted to spend the rest of my life repaying the debt of gratitude that 1 owe them. If I ever hold office it. must not be because I want it, but because they want me to serve them. Sometimes Eastern papers have called me a dictator. How could I be a dictator? What have I with which to influence one single vote? I have no patronage with which to corrupt you. I never had. I have no wealth with which to buy. I never had: I have no corporations behind me with which to terrorize you. I never had. What is the sum of my offending? It is that I have talked to you frankly and fearlessly on the things in which we are both interested. It is that I have defended Democracy as I have understood Democracy.' 1 Hon. Stephen B. Fleming announces this morning that he will seek the nomination for senator from Allen and Adams counties subject to the will of the democrats as express u at their joint convention. Mr. Fleming served in two sessions of the state senate, j when he was younger than he is now, j with honor to himself and satisfaction i io the people. No man in Fort Wayne —and the assertion is a broad one — represents so many important interests as Senator Fleming does, and they are interests that go to make I

Fort Wayne the greatest financial and manufacturing center in the state. He has won exceptional recognition as a man of affairs. He is broad minded, big hearted and generous, consider- ; ing public questions in the light of public opinion. Bred in democracy. Senator Fleming is one of its finest exponents and most ardent promoters. I No man has more friends; no man * enjoys greater respect than the candidate we present. —Fort Wayne Jour-nal-Gazette. The election of 1908 is nine months off. The Democratic national convention is five months distant. The state convention is mere than a month away. Yet Indiana Democrats, young and old. apparently are ready for the campaign and eager to get. into the fray, i One needs no better indication; one asks for no clearer index of the political future in Indiana. So surely as the calendar calls for November 3, the people—the independent voters of the

The official,board of the Metbcdist Church paid a just and deserving tribute when they unanimously asked for the return of Dr. Wilcox to the pastorate of their church. Dr. Wilcox is a speaker whose eloquence charms and whose personality does credit to the place he has so completely filled during the past year. His return will not only delight those who affiliate and believe in the Christian teachings as laid down by the doctrines of Methodism, but extends to all our people irrespective of church or creed. Bryan says he. would rather depend on the volnterr than to have organization with money accepted from a source the publicity of which would not look well in print. Here is one striking difference between the president and the peerless one. The Daily Democrat's free map and wall chart is proving the most popular gift of the many ever offered. Several hundred already adorn that many Adams county homes, and we advise others who wish this handsome premium to lose no time, as the supply is limited. Cromer has nailed down the congressional delegation from Delaware county, and is now extending his labors to other counties in the district. Isn't he a peach for a dead one? TESTED AND PROVEN. There is a Heap of Solace in Being Able to Depend Upon a Well-Earned Reputation. For months Decatur readers have seen the constant expression of praise for Doan's Kidney Pills, and read about the good work they have done in this locality. Not another remedy ever produced such convincing proof of merit. Mrs. Catherine Conter, of 227 First • St.. Decatur, Ind., says: “I have used 1 Doan's Kidney Pills with very bene- ■ ficial results and can recommend them ' highly. In 1902 I gave a statement telling what Doan’s Kidney Pills had done for me and how they cured me of kidney complaint and backache. I had suffered some time and everything I tried failed to help me. I got ' a box of Doan’s Kidney Pills at the

Ilolthouse Drug Co.'s store and they benefited me almost immediately and in a short time cured me. I am able to state now that the cure remained permanent.” For sale by all Dealers. Price 50 cents.

Owing to the fact that I will change ■ business on the first of March, the i city clerk s office will be moved from the Democrat office to the city offices at the corner of Madison and Third streets. All bills should be filed at this place and the records will also be kept there open to the public. Orders for labor or supplies will be issued from that office. The public will please bear this in mind and govern .themselves accordingly. CARL O. FRANCE, lOtevery day City Clerk. S. Pillars went to Marion this noon to attend to the arrangements of bringing the remains of his brother, William Pillars home.

REVERIES OF A BACHELOR Or Love, Courtship and Marriage at the Bosse Opera House, Tuesday, February 25. This great lecture will be delivered | at the Bosse opera house by the fam- j ous lecturer, DeWitt Miller, the Mag- ; netic Humorist. He will make you ! laugh until your sides ache, and his ■ pathos is far reaching. Ha has a vocabulary like Carlyle, and an optimistic humor fresh and spontaneous. If you hear him once you will want to hear him again, like one lady said in Easton. Pa.. “I would like to follow him from place to place, until I was satisfied.” Miller is a genius, and “The Reveries of a Bachelor” is the best lecture in his repertoire. Lovers of true art will miss a great opportunity if they do not hear him. Come to the opera house next Tuesday night and hear the best lecture ever delivered in this city. o “THE YANKEE DOODLE BOY."

To the average theater goer who is sick and tired of “wild west” plays, of “wTonged female" problem dramas of trivial musical comedies and of “By Gosh” farm yard pastorals “Bud Hicks, the Yankee Doodle Boy” will com© as a delightful relief. It is a 1 happy combination of all that is good | in theatricals —lots of pure clean comedy. some pathos, a little melodrama ■ I and plenty of music, song and dance. 1 It is one of those shows that invigorates with the vital warmth of a 1 sun bath. It appeals to every one who seeks divertisement. The entire entertainment is of a character that not only lifts the shadow of home and' business cares, but removes the faint- . est fear of an aftermath of conscience smiting. The “Yankee Doodle Boy” will be at the Bosse opera house Wednesday, Feb. 19. o A SECOND HAND STORE—WiII do repairing, upholstering or specialty week. Corner of Second and Jefferson streets.
