It is said to be much brighter than was Halley's, and is visible just now betore dawn. Berne held the first joint primary Monday. It may be all right, but it looks a little queer when the republicans are given a right to take part in a democratic primary. Crooked politics even within the law, never has worked successfully very long, and we doubt if it will at this day and age. •The beet campaign is closing. Were going to quit talking it soon, but just the same it has been a splendid one, v in which every day's results were ■ gratifying. The spirit and the workers are here and when another propositien of merit comes along we will go after it just as strong and will be I in a better position»to take care of it, for the effort made this time. Poor, old John Walsh lived but nine days after being given his liberty and the family has charged it up to Pres- 1 ident Taft and Attorney General ' Wickersham. Walsh was a great financier, who did business loosely and was caught. It was unfortunate that I he should be the example, but his con- , viction no doubt stopped many practices indulged in by the big money i holders. He had many good traits, and worked himself up from a bell hop to the master of many millions, Let’s remember the good and forget the bad. Securing contracts for five thousand acres of beet land within a radius of ten miles of Decatur, within fourteen days, proves several things conclu- ' sively, first that we have the land, second the ’armers who desire to improve their condition and are willing to work to do so, though most of them are so situated that they don't have to, third that Decatur has a bunch of fellows whe do things when they start out. —!■■ -21"
