Entered at tbe postofflce at Decatur, Indiana, &s second-class mail matter. The Outlook magazine for April I says some nice things about our governor, Thomas K. Marshall. He is spoken of as an efficient, strong and trustworthy official, a statesman and a diplomat and one widely considered among the possibilities for the democratic presidential nomination next year. Spring approaches; the air, while still a little too keen for short sievees and straw hats, improves a little each week, and another fortnight should find the trees in blossom. By the way it has been a perfect spring for the growth of crops, the cold holding back the fruit and wheat just right, so those informed tell us. But now it’s time for the warm streaks and when • it comes it will no doubt remain. We re ready for it. Mrs. Frances Goddard, president of . the Colonial Dames of Colorado, and for years one of tbe leading supporters of the woman s suffrage cause, . has repented, and is now as much opposed to the movement as she was formerly in favor of it. In a recent article in the Ladies’ Home Journal she , said in part: “No law has been put on the statute book of Colorado for the benefit of women and children that has been put there by the women. The child labor law went through independently of the women's vote. The hours of working-women have not been shortened; the wages of school teachers have not been raised: the type of men that go into office has not improved a bit “As for the effect of the vote on women personally, I have known scores of women who worked for the republican party one year and worked for the democratic party next year, telling me frankly that ‘the democrats gave us more money.’ “Frankly, the experiment is a failure. It has done Colorado no good; Boys Clothes That Give Satisfaction Besides appropriation styles and proper fabrics, you, as the parent, with the cost to consider, mnst know that quality, tailoring, fit and finish are right. At this boy’s clothing store you’ll feel confident to the same degree that the boy’s feel about the style and comfort of the clothes. The MyersDailey Co.

it has done woman no good. The best thing for both would be if tomorrow the ballot for women could be abolished.'’ OBITUARY. Florence Howell, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Howel, was born November 13, 1807, and died April 10, 1811. aged .'< years. 4 months and 27 days. Florence was a bright little girl and during her short life she endeared herself to many. Though but a babe she had been a member of the M. E. Sabbath school for more than a year and was an attentive scholar. She was like a fair flower that gladdens the home and gives joy to all, and the Master said of these little ones, "Os such is the kingdom of heaven." The following lines were written by a friend: Our darling little angel Has passed from earth away; She's gone to join the angels, In heaven, they say. They laid her in her coffin. Just like she was asleep. She seemed to whisper, • Mother, do not weep!” Our little Florence is sleeping In the silent grave; Her spirit is in heaven With Christ, who died to save. She has passed the lonely valley. But she was not alone. For the angels came and took her To her heavenly home. She is looking down from heaven, And almost seems to say, “I am a star shining To guide your lonely way. Just put your trust in Jesus, And try to follow me; And when you get to heaven, You will your Florence see. “Oh, I am so happy, mother, With angel plumage on; I know that you are weeping To think that I am gone. Tbe angels came and took me. And with you I could not stay, But, mother, I am so happy In my home so far away.” • Farewell, father! Farewell, mother! We will meet on earth no more. But I know we'll meet in heaven. When your toils of life are o’er. There is my darling brother, To him I say, ‘Good-bye;’ Tell him I am a shining angel, Singing, up above the sky.’’ MR. AND MRS.
