Entered at the postofflce in Decatur, nuiaua. as maJ’. President Taft has said about every-' thing mean he can think of about ■ Teddy, except, "Wouldn’t it have been ’ too bad if a lion had et’ him up.” He ' may get to that before the week is over. The game continues in Ohio, with Taft and Roosevelt cavorting up and ! down the state as the big headliners. i Issues are forgotten in the personal ha- j tred of the men of each other and the i most of the time is devoted to calling i the other fellow names and wishing | he was dead. A home-coming and fall festival in ] Decatur next September would bring i back to the old town, nearly all the ' wanderers. Some of them would see | the splendid opportunities here and I remain. The rest w-ould at least have I a rattling good time, and it would be the biggest week Decatur ever had. | There is nothing to prevent having it, I unless we lack the ginger, and if we haven't, that, we ought not to try i.-, i for the affair would be a failure If we give it, let's do it right. After a discussion and a promise in v platforms for a third of a century, it now seems reasonably certain that we are to elect our United States senators by a direct vote of the people. The | house of representatives Monday I passed such a resolution, and as the ' question has already been decided by < the senate, the question now goes to , the various states for ratification. The ■ next senator from Indiana will no | doubt be selected by the people for ■ the first time in history. It w ill at | least dispose of such trials as that ot Lorimer, Smoot and others, and give the highest law-making body in the land time for other important matters.
