Why, the plumb-. er is becoming so bold and so well ac-1 quainted that he really smiles at you as he passes out the door each evening. State Chairman Korbly has opened ■ headquarters at Indianapolis and is al- ' ready on the job. He will be there until the Inst returns are in next November. He will organize the party workers, keep up the fight and win a brilliant victory. . It is whispered that ex-Governor Hanly is to appear in Decatur in the , near future in a sort of temperance rally. It is likewise said that a movement is on foot to give him the republican nomination for governor and that his tour of the state will be made with that end in view. President Taft seems to have far and away the lead in his race for a renomination. Roosevelt made him, but seems unable to unmake him. In the meantime Mr. LaFollette is skylarking around hitting the high places, when he isn't side-tracked, but making but little headway. The Indiana vote will without doubt go to Mr. Taft. ~ I Three thousand subscribers and fifteen thousand readers is what the advertiser gets the value of, if he spends his money with the Daily Democrat. You can't lose on such a proposition. There is merit in the cause and the resuits will more than satisfy you. Get your s ready. If trade is dull it’s the time, if business is good, keep it that way, by pounding a little. Jim Guffey of Pennsylvania sat down on W. J. Bryan and the other boys who have opposed him for years, at the Monday meeting in Washington. Mr. Bryan lost at every turn, and still it does not mean any terrific faction in the party, nor does it mean that the Commoner will not continue to use his influence and power and ability to secure those things he believes in. Who has a better right? The cold weather has necessarily delay ed the start of work on the sugar beet plant, but it will come within a few days. A hundred men are ready to go to work when the call comes. , The new year 1912 is getting a start. It looks like a prosperous year for this old town arid county. Don't lose your

11 enthusiasm because of a little cold 1 weather. The blue birds will be here ; in the spring, just as they have come for a million years, and they will sing ’ just as sweetly, more so if you help get yourself and neighbor in rtie proper condition to listen to them. The Clover Leaf railroad excuses the fact that they have taken off two of their trains because of the fact that 'they don’t pay al this time of the year. ' Must be nice to be in a business , 1 where you can close down when it ! doesn't pay. If there is a man in other J business who makes each department [pay every day, week or month in the ; year, he has a bigger cinch than runjning a newspaper in Decatur. Any j i business owes something to the public I besides making ten per cent profit.! They owe them the convenience and , 1 courtesies thereto attached, and they | owe it all the year 'round. _-■= Jackson Day was observed in vari- • ous cities of the country. A big meeting was held at Indianapolis, the speakers being Governor Marshall, L. Srt Slack, Samuel Ralston and other big men of the state. It was a great 'meeting and one in which not a single discord was imticable, even by Mr. Stout, a sleuth employed by the Indianapolis Star, to look for them. In the national capital the meeting Vas one of the greatest in history, with W. J. Bryan, Woodrow Wilson, Champ Clark, William R. Hearst and Senator Kern as the headliners Senator Kern represented Crovernor Marshall and gave him all the credit for the present democratic stronghold established in this state. The Hoosier senator was well received and made a new record as an after-dinner speaker. Senator Shively was not present and Congressman Adair was crowded out, the supply of tickets running short. 1 EAST BUFFALO. j Bast Buffalo, N.

Miss Dugan has made a brilliant record at Vassar, completing the four years’ j I course in three years, and with credit, j and a pleasant feature is that her■ work each year has been so well done that this year's course is very easy I ; for her, and she is thus given thel pleasure of much greater enjoyment in the social side. She is a graduate of the Decatur high school, and of the . preparatory school at Ferry Hall, Lake Forest, 111. The German Reformed Christian Endeavorers met last evening at the , home of Miss Lucy Fruchte. Owing to the very cold weather very few I were out and the annual election of officers which was to have taken place then, was postponed until next month's meet. A good social time was enjoyed by those present. The Afternoon club met this afternoon with Mrs. Carrie Ehinger and the usual routine of affairs was carried out as on previous occasions.
