The presidential message in the United States is becoming a serious problem, at least for the unregarded newspaper man whose business it is to inform the people—who, of course, will not read it —of its contents. Mr. Taft Tuesday sent to congress a message containing more than thirty-five thousand words. It filled twenty-two columns. —Indianapolis News. The Christmas trade Is on and the coming Saturday should be one of the largest of the year. The Decatur merchants have been taking advantage of the opportunity to reach the people of Adams county by advertising through the columns of the Daily Democrat.

RESOLUTIONS. Resolutions by the subscribed members of the board of children's guardians, passed at their last regular meeting: Resolved, That the board of children's guardians extend to Mrs. Lankenau and family their heartfelt sym-* pathy in the death of their beloved husband and father. After the night of darkness, The shadows all flee away; After the rise of sadness, Hope sheds her brightest ray. Resolved, That in the death of Henry Lankenau, not only has the Infinite Creator removed from his family a kind husband and father, but also from I the community a citizen known for his gentle, kindly disposition, clean, upright character, and disinterested public service. As a public officer and member of this board he was honest, capable, and merited the confidence reposed in him by the citizens of this community. He bore the pain and trial of a long •ickness with fortitude and patience and a serene, unfaltering faith which leaves his wide and varied circle of friends a splendid legacy of hope. "His life was like the day, beautiful in the evening; like the summer, aglow with promise; and like the autumn, rich with golden sheaves where good works and deeds have reigned in the field.” Resolved, That we, his co-workers in the board of children’s guardians, who knew him long and intimately and well do unite in this memorial ■ and we direct that a copy of these resolutions be sent to the family of our friend and spread upon the pages of our secretary's book.
