Entered at tbe postofflca in Decatur, Indiana, as second-class uisu’ The Clover Leafs promise of better passenger service, in the spring, seems to have been overlooked by that very worthy always “yours to please” corporation. It has not been forgotten, however, by the merchants and Others of Decatur. The W and "hows'’ arc coming oat in the Titanic .’-.lestlgation, and the effort to discover the means or in - venting a repetition of such an a.'clcent in the future will resuit in laws providing for more life boats or rafts, a continuous shift oi Marconi operators, a summer and winter route, and pet haps other safeguards The big buildings at the sugar factory site are beginning to take form and another three months will find them well along.

Every democratic voter in the state of Indiana should register on May 9th, as required by the new registration act. The registration law is in the interest oi clean politics and good government It will secure to every legal voter the full weight of h’s bal lot by excluding illega voters from the polls. Since the democrats carne into power in rhe sir.te, the tax levy lor the general expenses of the government has been reduced 25 per cent. Under the last republican administration this levy was 12 cents on the SIOO of valuation. Now it is only 9 cents. Appropriations also have been reduced. The reduction it the tax rate and in the appropriations save to the people more than one million dollars a year. This is a fact which the Indianapolis Star (Rep. state organ) and George W. Stout, its contributing employee, ire trying so desperately hard to conceal by a mars of misleading and silly figuring. Again we have the pleasure of reading the high opinion in which a Decatur organization, The German Building and Izian Fund association, is held by the state authorities, aftei a vigorous and thorough examinatior of their books and records It is :

I high tribute, and the men who for a | quarter of a century have conducted '■ the affairs of that company in a man- | ner that stands the searchlight, as this I has, have a right to feel proud. The personal letter from the auditor of state is a tribute deserving of recognition from our people. The German has built many homes in this commun-| it y, and has been the means of saving ’ the nest-egg tot hundreds of people., young and old. and we hope they con tinue in success.
