We want every ♦ democrat in the county to temember ii. not only that we want you to show i that you are A real patriotic. Hoosier . citizen by registering on that day and I getting your friends to do likewise. ; Let's make the best showing of any ! county in the state, by getting out the biggest per cent o< the vote. The i committeemen are working hard to do this, and they deserve your assist- j ance. Give it to them. We believe iu Decatur, every man ti cm the dog catcher up. and in our ability to get results. We believe that 1 honest goods can be sold by honest methods. We believe in working, not waiting; in laughing, not crying; and in the pleasure of doinr business. We believe that Decatur can get what it goes after an<r that no city is down and out until it has lost faith in itself.' We believe in a square deal, and we believe in expanding Decatur. The way to do it is to hustle for it. While the newspaper readers have paid but little attention to politics for a week past, Taft and Roosevelt are still at it. The colonel won in Nebraska and Oregon last week, and the big finish go is scheduled in the primary election in Massachusetts on April 30th. In the meantime the president will tell some things about Teddy that is expected to open the eyes of many and the third term candidate will be telling how he was mistaken in his former good opinion of Judge Taft. Let ’em fight. In a thousand churches all over the wor’d prayers were offered Sunday for the hundreds who lost their lives on the Titanic just a week before, it was a solemn occasion and the services were sincere. Perhaps never in modern times has a catastrophe so affected the world as has the sinking of this greatest vessel of the seas. The human cargo was made up of i>easant, and merchant, and millionaire, soldier r.nd scholar, and man of the seas. All j went down as brothers, each was brave, died manfully and the world pays tribute to all. STRAYED —Black yearling colt, from my barn on Saturday night.
