Pope Pius is a gentle, sweet natured, pious old man, not given to political or religious intrigue, but with a heart holding a benediction for all the world. All the world, it is not too much to say, responds with a kindly feeling toward him. The report of bis illness will cause to be wafted across the seas a multitude of hopes, from within his church and without, for his early recovery.—lndianapolis Star. The commissioners of Adams county have included in their estimates for next year's expenditures, $15,000 for a bridge over the St Mary's river at the East Monroe street entrance to this city. This will no doubt mean the erection of a beautiful concrete bridge, with a walk on either side, electric lighted posts, marking a suitable entrance into the best town in Indiana. Many travelers coming from the east reach Decatur as the first city in Indiana, and nothing makes a better impression than a handsome bridge. We have all heard of the structures over the rivers at Indianapolis, Ft. Wayne, Richmond and other places and this movement here is a mighty important one. Not only the city is thus well advertised, but the county and state also derives a lasting benefit therefrom.

Various republican newspapers have begun nervously to figure out the dope for next year's election, showing that they expect the greatest fight in a quarter of a century, at least. One of them finds comfort in the statement that the democrats must carry the state of New York to win, or losing that must carry Ohio and California, or still losing these must carry Michigan and Wisconsin. Now anybody knows that in order to win the democrats will have to carry some states that were lost by Mr. Bryan and we are going to carry them —all those mentioned with the possible exception of Michigan, and if Taft's unpopularity continues to grow, the republicans will have to cover the Wolverine state and Pennsylvania with senators and cabinet members to save their state tickets. The fellow who beats Tom Marshall for the democratic nomination for president will be the next chief executive of the United States. The Indianapolis Star used to be pretty fair in its editorial columns,, but now it is just old moss-back regular republican. Anything that the party does is the right thing.. Anything President Taft favbrs the Star favors.

If he signs the woo) bill it will tie all right, and if he doean t sign it the Star still thinks he will be doing the right thing. Thus we have It —President Taft is right no mater what he does. It is a remarkable state of affairs—for the first time In the history of a nation, a god sits In the president's chair. This promulgation of the Star's even transcends the doctrine of the divine right of kings. The Star also condemns the democrats for the LaFollette bill because it was not exactly what they had stated they favored before the election Remarkable argument. In view o' the former independence of the Star, this latest attitude is very surprising Something must have happened.— Gary Evening Post. ONE MORE STEP (Continued From Page Ope.) are willing «o donate the strip of ground necessary for use in passing through their lands and say they will aid in other matters. To be exact they want the line built and are willing to aid in any way possible. A. W. Fishbaugh, chief engineer of the line, who recently made a survey of the proposed route of the line to a point one mile north of this city, arrived here Wednesday forenoon from Van Wert Ohio. It was through him that the description of the lands affected were secured by the committee. Mr. Fishbaugh is a resident of Celina, but has ben working in Van Wert, where he has charge of a large paving contract, and it was impossible for him to get to this city sooner. The work of making the survey from one mile north of the city to the heart of Portland where the proposed line will connect with the Muncie & Portland traction line, was begun Wednesday morning. Two routes are to be staked off, one of which leaves the course of the G. R. & I- railroad tracks at the Polley farm north of the city and passing through the Polle lands and the land owned by the Portland Drain Tile company and south, past and along the west side of the Jay county fair grounds to Votaw street and west to Meridian street and south. The other route will extenfi south across Votaw street and on to Arch street and west on this thoroughfare to Meridian street. A GENEVA OFFENDER. There was a man drunk on the street Saturday and on request the marshal placed him in the calaboose over night. Sunday morning he was hauled up before 'Squire Striker and plead guilty to the charge of public intoxication, and lo and behold you the ’squire was prevailed upon to release him without a fine. There; is lots of encouragement in this way ■ of doing to encourage an officer to enforce the law against violators. —Ge-! neva Herald. ON WESTERN TRIP.
