Entered at the postoffice in Decatur, Indiana, as second-class mail. Mr. Davidson, the Indianapolis •News political writer in the story sent out Sunday concerning the truthful condition of affairs at the state house had the following paragraph about Mr. Ellingham's office: “The writer said the republican secretary of state spent $14,293.89 in j 1908, while the democratic secretary spent $33,242.61 in 1911. In the former he did not count the expenses of state printing, which is credited to the secretary of state, but he did count it in checking the expense against the democratic official. As a matter of record, the secretary’s appropriation of 1911 was increased by SSOO, the increase to be used only for supplies for motor vehicle registration, and the secretary turned in at the end of the year $102.64, while the preceding republican secretary, with the same appropriations, except for the motor vehicle supplies, turned back only $58.81. These figures do not include an item , of $1,200 appropriated for indexing old records in the office which the democratic secretary turned back in toto \ because he did not see the necessity of the indexing. The expenditures in the office, save for motor vehicle supplies, did not increase under the democratic administration, but were less, while the increase in receipts amounted to $51,284.43." “Talk about men working for glory? Why half the editors of the country papers only share of glory is like that of the man who saw the father of his nation afar-off, there being a gulf fixed between the tw’o places. Yes, his glory is like some of those weird pictures of Dore And after he has spent an hour or so patching up the spelling and punctuation of some hasty brother's article or letter so as to make decent reading out of it, he feels like be had a mouthful of mustard and sour dock when the said brother goes around telling everyone how the said editor had ruined his beautiful effusion. Job had boils to contend with, but the country editor has to try and satisfy men and women afflicted with an elongated dose of

la twisted conceit. Job prayed that I his enemy might write a book, but if II could ever pray for the affliction of a man I didn’t like, I’d pray he might be an editor of a country newspaper. It would keep him hot through the day, and he wouldn't have much sleep at night. So my heart goes out to the I country editor. May his paid-up list grow as fast, as the gourd of Jonah, only with a better staying quality, and may his days be long in the land, and may his shadow never grow less, and. if we can, let us send him to congress."
