Entered at the postofflce in Decatur, Indiana, as second-class mai’. The slight freeze of Monday night was welcomed by the men on the sugar factory, as it will in some degree hold back the flood of water that seemed imminent. The bank statements, as published ' in the Daily Democrat, on Monday, show a steady growth financially, a sound banking condition and a state of affairs in general that should make , ns all feel good. Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, for years a close personal friend of Roose- ■ velt, has declared that he does not agree with the ex-president on his views as expressed in his recent Columbus speech, but owing to his long friendship he will not take an active part against him. The strenuous one will find that many of his old colleagues will disagree with him on his sentiment and his third-term joke. ! Tt is said that in Paris while one sale is going on in the various big stores, the newspapers are at work on another display advertisement, telling of the next one. They have the world's greatest stores, because they keep things stirring. The business man who allows his trade to become quiet is losing dollars for himsel’. Wake up, get in tho game, tell the people what you have to sell. It pays. Try the Daily Democrat. There seems to be a general satis- 1 faction over the fact that the Decatur Motor Car company will live, even under another name and in another city. Decatur people believe in the Litur-' of Pais truck and while they regret that the industry could not re•ii :n In this city, they hope only the best for them in the future. The fact that this industry is leaving Decatur need not discourage the real booster. The $15,000 building and the five acres of ground will remain here and there is no reason why we cannot utilize 1 them to good advantage. Let s place therein another factory that will employ our labor and add to our “made in Decatur” list.

The senate was discussing a bill for the establishment of a children’s bureau in the department of Commerce i ' and Labor. Senator Borah, author of ' the bill, had explained how the huge j corporations were exploiting little j i children, crushing them, with hard I toil, while they were yet of tender; years. He explained that the bill con- : templated ej interference with the proper relation of parents towaio their own children, and that its purpose was merely to provide for the collection of statistics and information on which th' - separate states and municipalities could base a solution ! of the child welfare problem. “In the great cities,” concluded Senator Borah, “little children fester 1 and swelter and starve and steal and die by the thousands. This bill is designed to aid them." j Then up rose Senator Heyburn, [ standpatter, and for »wo hours the senate listened *o his complaints about the ’ unconstitutionality” of the bill. His final argument was that Abraham Lincoln was a poor boy.

OBITUARY. Mrs. Caroline Griswold, eldest daugh- ( ! ter of Mr. and Mrs. John Sovine, oi , ’ Craigville, Ind., was tern in Adam, 'county, Indiana, July 7, 1878. and departed this life Feb' vary 20, 191a 'the age of thirty-t'a:cyears, seven • months and thirteen : The enti:> life of the deceased, whh t e excel <io.' ' of ten years w hich -' ent ir Al eu ■ county, was spent in Adams count. On May 18, 1899, she was united in marriage to Larwell Griswold of AIL county, Ind. She was a loving, dutiful and cheerful companion, always trying to show her helpmate the right and bright side of life. As a daughter she was kind and loving, always showing respect for her parents, and as a sister, was always ready with a word < encouragement and advice toward which she thought was best, and was : always ready with a smile and a word of greeting when she met you. She leaves to mourn their loss, besides: the heart-broken, grief-stricken bus band, father, mother, three sisters four brothers, two half-br'-thers, as follows: John and Elizabeth (parents Sovine of Craigville; Ben Baker, Waterloo, Ind.; Oliver Sovine. Manitirwac, Wis.; Julia Shady, Magley, Ind.. Johnathan Sovine, Decatur; Susie ' Melching, Craigville: Amos Sovine.: Craigville; Del'a Wyre, Dreatur, and , David and Joseph Sovine of Craigville I Ind.; also a host of other relatives and i friends, who are grief-stricken to learn of her early demise. Although w c mourn her loss, yet we mourn not as ; those without hope, for our dear siste: ' [left bright evidence of gaining a bright 1 land happy home. Caroline was a mem ' her of the Methodist church of Allen ; , county for a number of years, and on 1 moving to Adams county four years ' ago this month she united with the i , Christian Union church, of which she I was a faithful member the remaining days of her life. During her last sickness, which was of six weeks' dura1 tion, she often expressed to friend- ' and neighbors her willingness, read: ness and great desire to meet her Fai ther in heaven, often saying that her way was clear and that she had noth , ing to dread, knowing that she had a home prepared tor her in heaven, and often saying that she could hear the angels sing. The funeral service, which was held Friday, February 23rd. ’ at the home, at 10 o'clock, standard time, and later at the Christian Union ' church at Honduras, was in charge of ■ I Rev. Segar of Craigville, in which he paid a glowing tribute of respect tc the life of the deceased, from the text from the first chapter of Phillipians twenty-first verse, “For me to live i.Christ, and to die is gain.” Following the service, which was largely attend ed, burial was made in the Blufftoi: cemetery.
