Entered at the postofflee in Decatur, 1 Indiana, as second-class mail. President Taft is frightened at the ! Roosevelt boom, and in the racket, the great and only Hitchcock may lose his job. Politics is a funny thing! The polls close at six. If you haven't voted you’ll have to hurry. The return will be received at this office and will be in by 10 o’clock, if nobody goes to sleep on the job. What are you doing to help your fellow man? That’s the thing that counts, for incidentally every time you do tuat, unselfishly, you help yourself. Just a little of this spirit will make Decatur a grand old county t eat of the grandest old county in the middle west. A milk condensory that would employ a large number of people, and pay each month to the farmers of this community about $20,000, is a possibility, but it requires some action on the part of the farmers and merchants. Will some one please figure out how many milk cows are now owned within a radius of six miles of Decatur? Something of what is nec ■ essary can be figured when you know j that the condensory will not locate unless there is a possibility of securing fifty thousand pounds of milk a day. In his speech responding to the state committee’s resolution urging him for the presidency, Governor Marshall took occasion to say many things that needed saying: Among these things was this: “The democratic party in state and in nation stands for economy in public expenditures, and I give it to you this day, gentlemen, that the depublican party in Indiana will be overwhelmed with confusion when the finances of the state are understood

by the people.” 4 In this statement the governor is entirely correct. And the people of | Indiana will be given full opportunity I to know the real facts about the | state's finances and also to know how utterly false and absurd recent publi-1 cations in republican newspapers are. , When the republicans went out of! pow er in this state they left some-1 thing much worse than an empty i treasury. They had eaten so far into future revenues as to create a con- , (jition amounting to a tremendous de-1 licit. ‘ A GREAT PLAY. Decatur people, when “The Tramp and the Girl” comes to ths Opera house, Wednesday, December 13th, i w’ill see a revolution in the show bus iness. Few showmen are venturesome enough to take upon the road a fully * equipped musical comedy at popular prices, but Barton and Salsmeyer knew r their business and have spared no expense to make “The Girl and the Tramp,” a financial success realizing that the public want their money’s s worth. They have cut the prices right in two and still hold up a standaru 1 for all other attractions. The result is financial success. Much care has been taken in staging the play and selecting the cast. The costumes and scenery are bright and new and there ‘ is not a dull moment in the entire three acts of the comedy. The company carries its own musical director ( and those who have the opportunity of witnessing this play will hear the latest music sung by the people who have voices. This is by far the best show Decatur has had this season. 0 NEWS FROM COURT HOUSE.
