It is said . that outside concerns are making an effort to prevent this and within a few days every citizen will have an opportunity to show his patriotism. It is not only a question of the present but ; of the future years that counts. Be true to your home county. The first Riley day in Indiana wag observed Friday generally over Indi-' ana with proper exercises in the schools, and in the years to come, this greatest of Hoosier writers, who has reached the heart of us all, with his "Out to Old Aunt Mary's," his “June Time,” and hundreds of others will receive the credit due him. It is but right that some of the honors come to him while he may appreciate them. *■ < The standpatters proudly proclaim ; that Senator LaFollette is not a republican. that he is an interloper, a trespasser upon republican tradition. It is hard to see how a man with his democratic sympathies and convictions can consider himself a part of a national organization that has been so long dominated by influences op-! posed to popular interests, but Senator LaFollette entered the United ( States senate a few years ago and was snubbed by his own party associates. Today he is the most influential member of that body and has done more to educate the | üblic for true reforms than any othet member. All political parties need more leaders of his character and ability. If he lives lie will either control the republican party, or he will lead a political movement that will take trom the party its .rank and file. —The Sullivan Democrat. L Mr. and Mrs. JoTtn Gerard left yesterday for Fort Wayne for a few days’ visit. Mr. Gerard, who is employed at the automobile factory, had the misfortune to get some emerydust in his left eye, inflammation later setting in. He thinks he will be recovered sufficiently to return to his work next Monday. Holty’s special Sunday dinner is the best and cleanest. DEMOCRAT WANT ADS’
