It looks as though a bill will emerge that will be generally satisfactory. Os course a law that will please every one along temperance lines is an impossibility, but any law that will improve general conditions will be accepted. We don’t want to insist too strongly, but we believe we should call the attention of the Decatur merchant who is not advertising just now to the fact that *he is loosing good money. Wha you clean up this time of the year is your profit, Turn that, stock into money to do business on. It's business and you can only do it one way—advertise. Decatur furnished five boosters for the Stokes Jackson special to Washington, which left Indianapolis Sunday evening. The bunch from here included County Clerk Haefling, Surveyor Charles C. Ernst, Ben J. Smith and F. E. France. The boys are the real thing wnen it comes to whooping up a democratic cause and they are for Indiana first, last and always. Mr. Ellingham is also one of the party, with the crowd of state officers, including Auditor O'Brien, Statistician Tom Brolley and Attorney •General Honan. They will return the last of the week. Adams county always does her share. The annual midwinter meeting of

the Indiana Democratic Editorial association will be held in Indianapolis SPECIAL CLEAN UP , PRICES ON UNDERWEAR » I . ■ I ■ » $3.00 Union Suits now .....$2.39 $2.00 Union Suits now sl-49 $1.50 Unlsn Suits now $1.19 500 Boys' Union Suits now 42c $1.09 Union Bolts now 79c $2.50 Garments, wool, now $196 $1.50 Garments, wool, now $1.12 SI.OO Garments, wool, now 790 50c Heavy Cotton, ribbed and fleeced garments, now 39c I Don’t forget that you can save on all furnishings during this sale.

February 2nd, aside from the banquet, which is to be at the Denison hotel Friday evening, February 3rd. The ladies of the association are to be entertained at the home of Secretary of State Lew G. Ellingham. The edit- . ors and their families will visit the legislature and Walter Williams of Missouri will addres the business i , meeting of the association. Among i the speakers announced so far at the I banquet are Governor Thomas R. Mar--1 shall, United States Senator Kern, Un--1 ited States Senator Shively and there are others. It is believed the meeting ’ will be the largest and most impor- ■ tant ever held by the democratic news- . paper men in Indiana. —Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette. With only seven weeks remaining of the present session of congress, which marks the end of republican control for at least two years, it looks as if it were going to be, in affect, a do-noth-ing congress, just as the pglitcal managers predicted. With each day the chances grow less for the legislation that was demanded at the polls and for the program that the president submitted for congressional consideration. Thus personal selfishness and party policy absorb the attention of our statesmen, and they fail to “give the business of the state precedence Over the ambitions of men." This has always been more or less so; but it must be much less so in the near future or there will be subsequent effects which no statesmanlike explanatory eloquence can prevent. Statesmen have been in the habit of running the country as they please. The demand now is that the country be run as the people please.—lndianapolis News.
