Entered at the postofilce in Decatur, inaiaua. as eecoF*i-cl*SB maJL ROOSEVELT AND THE PEOPLE (From speech by Senator LaFollettc. in Ohio.) •‘When the man who now wants th" people to rule, came into office, kissing the Bible that Lincoln kissed in his oath to enforce the law, the Sherman anti-trust law was on the books, and it made it the duty vs his district attorneys, all of whom he appointed and controlled, to prosecute the trusts and prevent their formation. When he took office he found 149 trusts and combinations doing business, getting their hands illegally into the pockets of the people and raising prices every hour. Do you get it? 149 —remember that. It s worth getting well into your mind. Their combined capital was $3,784,000,000. When he turned over the office to Mr. Taft, after he had been in office seven years there were 10,020 trusts and their capitalization had grown to more thand thirty-one billion dollars capitalization, mind, you, not money, for only 30 per cent of • it is money and the other 70 per cent is this stuff here,” (tapping a pitcher of ice water.) If there were only 149 trusts in the United States when Roosevelt became president, as I charges, and 10,020 when he went out of office, as the senator also charges, how many are now in existence? The trusts grew up under the republican “protective” tariff, which Roosevelt during , his nearly eight years in the white house refused to disturb, or allow to be disturbed. Roosevelt says that he is “for the people,” and Taft says he, also is “for the people,” and yet the j campaigns of both are being financed by the “powers of pillage.” In honor of the boys who offered their lives that the union might live, practically all the business houses of Decatur will be closed next Thursday, Decoration day. It is right and proper that hey should so. It is a sacred holiday and should be so observed. The repudiation of Taft in his own state is perhaps another proof that a man is never without honor, save in his own home. It is also a further evidence of the fact that the people rule. The president said so himself in a speech in California not long ago and he no doubt realizes it more than ever now. LABORERS WANTED.

( The Ruth Circle of the Christian 1 church met with Mrs. A. D. Artman 1 Tuesday evening in their regular fort- t nightly session.

During the social period, j Mrs Artman was asisted by her 1 -daughter, Mrs. James Artman. in 1 serving ice cream, nabiscoes and tig 1 newtons. A very pleasant evening i was spent. I i Fred Wagner and sister entertained ’ Sunday at dinner, the following being i guests: Mr. and Mrs. N. H.

The high school graduates are hav- ' ; ng a week replete with festivities, I and among the many of the week is I the party to be given this evening by | Professor E. E. Rice. An enjoyable i affair was the party given by the boys for the girls Monday evening at the home of William Bowers on First street. A marshmallow roast on the 1 lawn by the riverside was an event of the first hours of the evening, after which the door of the spacious Bowers residence were thrown open for the party. The Bachelor Maids will hold their first meeting in several weeks, with Miss Stella Bremerkamp Thursday evening. The friendship shower given Tuesday’ evening by the Misses Josephine Lang and Frances Coffee at the Lang home, for Miss Alma Starost, a bride I of this month, was a delightful social I affair, the guests being the members j of the Poinsettia club with which the' bride-elect has been associated as one! of its most beloved and popular mem- ■■ hers. Seated at little tables, the guests devoted themselves to pedro. and the prizes were won, first, by Alice Knapp, second, by Agnes Coffee, and third, by Mayme Harting. A luncheon took the place of the card playing later, and music, by members of the club j was a delightful accompaniment. The

shower came last, but not least, and the assortment of beautiful gifts of linen, pictures, china, and a variety of many pretty and useful things, showed in a measure the esteem in which the recipient is held. They were placed, wrapped in their dainty coverings, on a table, where the guest of honor unwrapped them at her leisure. The party included the Misses Alma Starost, Alice Knapp, Lydia Miller, Mayme Harting, Edith Miller, Agnes Coffee, Genevieve Bremerkamp, Margaret Gallogly, Esther Corbett. The wedding of Miss Starost to Mr. Clarence Holthouse will take place Tuesday, May 28th. Miss Neva Brandyberry was the guest of Miss Effie Miller over night. Miss Brandyberry, who is one of the graduates from the high school, will leave Saturday for Terre Haute, where she will attend the normal school during the summer. Mr. and Mrs. Loyal Woods accorded twenty of their friends a delightful entertainment last evening, the affair being a general evening party. There were games and contests and other social diversions, with a delicious lunch. o Lacked One Yea CONTINUED FROM r aGE ONE the firemen for the operating of the fire truck, asked that they be given a plot of the various streets of the city to study and become acquainted so that in case of fire they will know exactly just what direction to go. A map believed to answer this pu r pose, left in the council room, was given to the firemen in answer to their request. New suits for the firemen were also suggested, but this is still undecided, and until the placing of the new city hall is as desired, no definite action will be taken. Jesse Niblick, who was some time ago notified to erect a board fence in front of the Kalver junk shop on North Second street, which was declared a nuisance, having failed to comply with the notice, will again be notified by the city marshal to make the improvement within the next ten days. A movement is on foot for the leveling off of the city waterworks grounds, and placing them in a more respectable condition, and will be looked into by the city improvement committee.
