ANO THAT'S NO JOKE A democrat who gets a good word from the Fort Wayne News is going some, and here's what they say of Mr. Adair: "It is retorted that Congressman Adair may conclude to enter the race for the democratic gubernatorial nomination in 1912. and the announcement is one that Is calculated to cause apprehensive shivers to chase up and down the spinal columns of the other aspirants in never-ending procession. And with good reason is this so, for Mr. Adair is fid energetic and resourceful gentleman who has always managed to annex that which he has gone after. He enjoys the prestige that is attendant upon success, and he has no embarassing alliances to hamper his activities. In ail Adair is the most likely pup in the litter and in case the race looks good to him he may be picked as the winner. It would require a combination of the field to defeat him and such a combination would be impossible with the lines drawn as they now are. —Fort I Wayne News. At least a dozen requests have reached us the past day or two to withhold from the columns of the paper some news items. We doubt if one person out of a thousand realizes what he is asking when he does it. A newspaper has one important duty, it must print the news, be it good tidings or bad. It is always a pleasure to give the first message to the public of some fortunate occurrence and the reporter shares with the recipient 1 his joys.
