Entered at the postoffice at Decatur, Indiana as second class mail matter. J. H. HELLER, Manager. The records of many conspicuous | Republican candidates have placed I them in conflict with organized labor. For instance, it is recalled that Fairbanks went into the United States court at Indiananpolis and caused several railroad strikers to be sent to jail. Taft’s injunctions against labor organizations while he was a United States judge have brought condemnation upon him. Hughes not only vetoed a two-cent fare bill, but he refused to give labor a representative upon the public service commission in New York. Knox is notorious as a corporation lawyer, as is also Foraker. Cannon has prevented the consideration of many labor bills in congress. And here in Indiana Watson, gubernatorial candidate, got his friend Ilanly to appoint his own man a factory inspector over the protest of the labor organizations. Besides these instances there are others that might be cited. To add to their troubles, the Republicans have no “full dinner pail’’ or “let well enough alone” argument in defense. The citizens in general and the Democrats in particular are invited to Democratic headquarters Friday from one until four to meet the Hon. Stokes Jackson,- chairman of the Democratic state committee. He wants to personally meet every Democrat that it is possible for him to meet. He wants to discuss organization and methods that will cause the electoral vote of Indiana to be cast for Hon. William J. Bryan, the election of the Democratic state ticket as well as every county and legislative candidate. The undertaking is no light one, and he needs the support of every Democrat in the state. The encouragement in the greeting to be extended Friday means something for the success of the Democratic cause. The famous Jefferson club of Fort Wayne, will give one of their banquets on the evening of March 12 Five hundred plates will be laid and along with a well served menu, the*.; will be oratory to burn. Hon. Henry Warrum, of Indianapolis, will be the principal speaker of the evening. The event this year will eclipse any former effort, and that is saying much. GREAT SUCCESS. F. P. Clay, Jr., Paris, Ky., says: "I have had great success with Bourbon Poultry Cure. On several occasions have cured chickens that were too sick to walk or stand up. Have lost but one old chicken this year.” Sold by HOLTHOUSE DRUG CO. ■ ■ - ■ I & Ar. I -r ■-

AND BUSINESS GOES ON. Decatur Has a Right -to be Proud of Her Record. The people of Decatur are entitled to be proud, not only for one, but for | many reason that are indeed plausible, j i Compare our railroad facilities, our | industries, our prospects for rapid ad-1 vancement in business and social inter-1 ests within the next few years, with that of any other town of the same population and even the skeptical will j be convinced of the progressiveness of our little city. With educational advantages of the best at hand, consisting of every grade and class from the very lowest to the fourth year in our commissioned high school, even including a commercial course, how could thus the most essential achievement be improved upon? While business in other towns has withered before the mighty sweep of the money stringency until the merchants were black in the face, Decatur business men retain the usual self composure without a sigh and business goes on just the same as in former years. It is something to be proud of. o MRS. WILDER DEAD (Continued from page 1.) i on last Tuesday.

“UNDER SOUTHERN SKIES” People go to the theater to be entenained. Gloomy plays, except in rare instances, are not favorably received. Audiences, especially women, like to have their feelings wrought upon to acertain extent; they even enjoy an opportunity to shed a fewtears. But they also like to have the tears followed by laughter, they want the sun to come out between the clouds. Since "East Lynne” there has probably not been a play produced which draws women to witness it in such crowds as does Lottie Blair Parker’s drama of love among the blossoms “Under Southern Skies.” There Is something about the beautiful stage settings, youthful, summery dresses, crowds of gay young folks. Hallowe’en tricks; Jack-olantern dance and touching love scenes that enchant the young who are in the hey-day of their own pleasures, and fascinate their eld rs by carrying them back to their own merry days—sometimes they have been forgotten until suddenly brought to vivid remembrance by the life-like scenes of “Under Southern Skies.” All women love the play, and the men enjoy it. so it is not strange that it is now in its seventh season, playing to larger audiences than ever before, the capacity of the theater being tested in every city fortunate enough to secure this remarkably successful drama. “Under Southern Skies” is to appear in Decatur at the Bosse opera house on Monday, March 2nd and the indications are that it will be witnessed by a large and fashionable audience.
