Entered at the poetoffice at Decatur, Indiana, as second-class mall matter. These are great times for the steel trust and for shipyard owners. The government is to build the two biggest warships of the world and at the biggest cost, naturally. And still some people wonder why the cost of living continues to count. —New York World, Governor Marshall was given a true southern reception while a guest in Alabama, and some mighty nice things were said about him by the press of that section. They like him, and it is not out of place to suggest that they will like him better, the more and the better they know him. The seniqr senator from Indiana was given another curtain lecture in

the senate, and accused of trying to destroy the beat tariff law ever passed. Thus it will again be seen that the senior senator should be a democrat in name, and not try to practice the impossible of being for and against a political party, at one and the same time. Politics cuts no ice with the Democrat while deserving men are in the public eye. We consider it a privilege to say that the retiring postmaster and the able corp of employees who have served the public and the government under him, have performed their duty and performed it well. Judging from the character of the newly appointed postmaster for this city, the same able administration of the postal affairs of this city will continue, and to that end the Democrat will ever lend its influence and aid. Republican defeat at the presidential election of 1912 was freely predicted at the sessions of the National Association of Hosiery and Underwear Manufacturers by its leading men, who declared that by that time the effect on business in general, as the result of the present tariff bill will be so great that the democratic party will elect the president and congress. Not only manufacturers and business men will come to realize the situation confronting them but the working men also, several manufac-

turers declared, and the result will be that there will be a general political uprising.—Philadelphia Record. THEY TALK ABOUT THE DEMOCRAT The Decatur Democrat, for years owned by L. G. Ellingham, formerly of this city, has been incorporated. John Heller, tor several years business manager, now has a third interest in the paper.—Bluffton Banner. The Decatur Democrat has resolved itself into a company and incorporated, J. H. Heller having purchased a third interest and continues in the management of the paper.—Geneva Herald. John H. Heller, who tor tweve years has been the business manager of the Decatur Democrat, has purchased a third interest in the newspaper plant, the other two-thirds being held by Lew Ellingham. The company has been incorporated as the Decatur Democrat company and publishes a daily and weekly newspaper. Mr. Ellipgham is the democrat candidate for secretary of state. The publishing company incorporators are Mr. Ellingham and his wife and Mr. Heller and his wife. —Bluffton News. The Decatur Democrat Company is the name of a new corporation, but

one that is new in name only. The company has been incorporated and J. H. Heller takes a third interest in the plant with Mr. Ellingham. Heller has been with the paper for twelve years and is closely identified with Its growth. The Democrat is one of the most prosperous papers in eastern Indiana. It is always clean and up-to-date and deserves the success that is coming to it.—Winchester Herald. By the terms of a business deal recently consummated, John H. Heller has become the owner of a third interest in the Decatur Daily Democrat, identifying himself in a business way with Lew G. Ellingham. democratic candidate for secretary of state. Mr. Heller is an able writer, a thorough business man, and has a host of acquaintances in northern Indiana who will wish for him a most successful future.—Auburn Courier. The Decatur Democrat, owned, and published for the past twenty years by Lew G. Ellingham, democratic candidate for secretary of state, began business Wednesday morning as an incorporated stock company. The Decatur Democrat, under the excellent team work of Ellingham and Heller, has become recognized as one of the brightest and most prosperous small city daily newspapers in Indiana and the incorporation is but a step in advance and when Lew Ellingham becomes secretary of state Heller wil be the helm at the Democrat. — Portland Sun. Mr. John H. Heller, for eignt years business manager of the Decatur Democrat, has become a part owner of that publication. Mr. Lew G. Ellingham, formerly sole owner of the Democrat, pays Mr. Heller a handsome compli ment in a signed editorial, and the good things he says about his old manager and new partner are all fully deserved. There is no brighter newspaper man nor better manager in northern Indiana than Mr. Heller. The phenomenal success of the Democrat during the past eight or nine

year* has been due jointly to the excellent editorial work of Mr. Ellingham and the business acumen of Mr. Heller. It is a good newspaper, far beyond the ordinary, for a eby of Decatur's population. It was made by ■ by Mr. Ellingham and Mr. Heller.— • Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette. SOCIETY DOINGS! Bigham Grove a Scene of Good Cheer —Queen Esther Social.
