Adams county democrats will gather ■ at Decatur on the 29th to attend the district meeting, hear the speeches and get the first taste of politics. It should | be a good start-off for the 1912 cam-■ paign. — Perfect harmony marked the recent j meeting of democrats at Indianapolis. ! They are going out to win next year. I Everybody feels and everyone is go- i ing to do his part to make the victory i a glorious one. Do your Christmas shopping early. | It’s an old son, but if you want to do | < it early this year, you will have to j get busy. Do you realize that you have but three weeks in which to select and buy the gifts. The day of good cheer comes three weeks from I Monday. In connection with this free advice we want to call your attention to the fact that the Decatur stores have the best selection of pretty and ; useful articles just suited for the holi-; day occasion they ever bad.

Garfield, son of the man for whom the club was named and secretary ot the interior under Roose-| 1 velt, declared that “there is deep-' . 1 seated, nation wide disapproval of the Taft administration. Another promi-, ■ nent republican, at the same meeting,' said that Mr. Taft “has failed to re-1 i spond to the people, and now the people fail to respond to him," and then j he indulged in a fulsome eulogy of Roosevelt. It does seem, in truth, that that most eminent of political ’ fakirs is really desirous of another nomination. His recent bid for Wall street support bears out this suspic- s ion. ——- —— The end in view justified the , means, w uld be the on|y possible ex- ( case for the McNamara brothers who have pleaded guilty to the terrible, crimes for which they were to have been tried at Los Angeles. It is a flimsy excuse, for na man. be he union or anti-union, would sanely consent to ( t the perpetration of an act which i would destroy human lives. Twenty ; 1 one men, who made their living by | ’ toiling, met death because of the 1 ADVANCED SHOWING ** Os Christmas Gifts for men, young men ■ < . ■ 1 and boys.

blowing up of the Times building. The men who did it deserve punishment severe enough to restrain those who may have similar intent, if such there be. Surely any compromise would be a travesty on justice. By such acts as these the followers and sincere believers in the cause of labor are necessarily injured.
