The county committee meets Friday of this week and from that date j on for several weeks there will be busy times in old Adams county. Already the candidates are active, several of them beginning the canvass this morning. An early convention is being urged by the democrats and it is believed that this important session will take place in the early spring. There are many important reasons why the democrats should do this, showing their aggressiveness, and we hope they will do so. The Journal-Gazette Sunday devoted about two columns to the fact that Decatur is to secure the first beetsugar plant in Indiana. That county Is also catching the fever and about a thousand acres were harvested there this fall. It is probable that within a few years there will be a number of these great factories in this section. Decatur, first, last and ail the time. It’s a good thing to remember and will bring many results, direct and indirect. The city of Memphis spent twenty thousand dollars the past year to advertise and as a result they secured sixty-five new industries, employing an average of eighty men. Does it pay? While we do not need to spend any sum like that., we can advertise always by boosting. The democrats came into control of affairs in this state in January, 1911. They inherited a bankrupt state treasury and a lot of contracted debts which were the direct result of republican rule. Now the republican papers of the state are howling like a band of Indians about the manner in which the democrats are spending public money and about the empty treasury. Every man with a thimble full of brains knows that the process of levying taxes and collecting the cash is a slow one. It cannot be done in a few months; in fact the democratic levy made in 1911 has not yet been collected and will not be till next year. Past levies have not been made by democrats and past appropriations cannot be laid at the door of the present democratic administration. Up to last January there were no democrats in the state house outside of Governor Marshall who had anything to do with the state’s finances. So the republican yowl is simply intended to fool somebody and help out the g. o. p.—Columbia City Post. WANTED—-Men to learn the barber trade. We want plain people for a plain business.

TAFT AT CINCINNATI Arrived There This Morning —Registered and Will Vote Tomorrow. (United Press Service.) j Washington, D. C., Nov. 6—(Special to Daily Democrat) —The question of intervention by the United States in behalf or Tripoli to put a stop to the barbarities and cruelties by Italian soldiers was today taken up by President Taft following an appeal from Turkey for aid. Though the call from Turkey came practically in the form of- a command, it was made in the name of humanity to stop the atrocities at Tripoli.
