Indiana, as second-class mal. matter Decatur is enjoying an area of pros perity. Business men admit that trade is splendid, workingmen are employed, several new buildings are un- i der construction and things are mov-1 ing. Let's keep her going up grade on high speed I Billy Sunday, the renowned evangelist, cleaned up >70,507 as his little sav- I ing during the past year. This ought ’ to make these ordinary gIO.OOO-a-yea: ball players sick with envy. In Billy's ; team he is not only the pitcher, catcher, infield and outfield, but the business manager and treasurer as well — and oh. you juicy dividends. The close of the packing house deal Saturday evening makes certain the immediate reopening of that plant i i Decatur. Mr. Chatlin is a practical packer and will move here at once, taking charge of the concern. He assures us that smoke will be issuing from the big smoke-stack just as soon as it is possible to make the required improvements President Taft admits that the democrats who assisted him in the passage of the reciprocity bill, did so from high motives alone, because they believed in the cause and not because of politics His words of praise for their action are perhaps the strongest ever exercised by a president of the United States, in speaking of the opposition party, and show the wonderful change in affairs The people are making themselves heard. It looks as tho’ gh Governor Marshall is to be in the presidential race. His reply to Mr. Bryans questions were met promptly and without reserve and his answers, couched in proper language and showing the deep mind of a public student, lawyer and statesman, have been well received by the public, not only in Indiana, but al! over the nation. Every Hoosier should boost our distinguished governor for tae highest office in the land. He is deserving and most thoroughly com- ' pet ent. Governor Marshall has permitted i the launching of his boom for the j democratic presidential nomination. It is useless to say that our governor will have a strong following in the nest democratic national convention. j and if the delegatee see things like the people of Indiana do, they will most assuredly support the candidacy of Mr. Marshall, who will carry Indi ana in 1912 by the largest majority given a candidate for the presidency; in many years. If the national democracy wants to keep Indiana in line at the next election for the presidential ticket, just nominate Governor Marshall for the presidency, and ’he people will do the rest—Tipton Daily Times FOUND —Shawl, dropped from auto on Monroe street at OR* I. crossing.
