Entered at tie postoffice in Decatur, Indiana, as second-class malt REGISTER MAY NINTH On Thursday, May 9th, the May session of the registration board will be open in every election precinct in Indiana. No voter should forget that it is his duty to register. The registration law is in the interest of clean politics, honest elections and good government. Every citizen who believes in and desires clean politics, 1 onest elections and good government should not fail to register. It may in some cases involve inconveniences to do so, but good citizens will not complain of that. The right to vote means iteedom, it means having a part it the government, it means power to change bad conditions, where they exist, into good conditions. In a despotism the people have no voice. And there is no surer road to despotism than the failure of men to use the power which the ballot puts into their bands. Illegal voting will be prevented by the registration law, and the ballot of the legal voter will be given ' r strength. So, therefore, k ’ “nience to may be Out of every great and deplorable in

acident come somethoughts that cause us to pause and think long and earnestly, and the wreck of the Titanic ’was no exception. To the general world the one which first presents itself is the vast power of God as compared with man. “We said there was naught that might humble it, no power in sea or sky—and it broke as a crumb twixt finger and thumb when the ocean mad? reply.” The other is the martyrdom of the splendid men, drawing closer togethet the classes of the world. “Brave men leaped forth to the supreme demand of Duty’s call, that mother, sister, wife might still retain the priceless boon of life.” The average American man feels that he would just now prefer the noble leath of Astor Butts, Strauss ar the others who died in honor, than to be Ismay, the White Star director,

Six Chinese coolies found refuge beneath the seats of life-boats that were lowered from the Titanic and were saved Six times twenty would make 120, and it look? as though at least that many more people could have been packed in the boats.
