ORE= The democratic editors are to hold a very important session aj Llporte this week, it being the occasion of the mid-summer meeting. Prominent party men, including Governor Marshall, will address the pen pushers, and it is expected that much interest will be thfe result. Os course it Is not all business and there will be plenty to eat, but likewise plenty of time to talk over affairs of politics for 1912. ■u i .-e-ea? One man dead, a dozen injured, a fortune for the promoters, a little fame and glory for the winning drivers, tells the story of the five hundred mile race at the motor speedway on Decoration day. Just what good the sacrifice was we have not been able to figure. Had it been a prize fight, with a deeding nose or a swelled jaw as the result it would have been called brutal. But the American people have to have something exciting, even if it does cost a few lives and much money. We have received many compliments on the special Decoration Day edition of the Daily Democrat, and of course we appreciate them. Usually the newspaper editor and reporter hears of the errors and mistakes, sometimes very forcibly expressed, and it is out of the orinary to receive compliments. We, therefore, appreciate them the more, and are glad if we have pleased the veterans and their friends, and our big family of readers and advertising patrons.
