Entered at the postoffice in Decatur, Indiana, as sceond class mail. r.iday of next week, September 6, is the date for the second registration of voters. On that day every qualified voter who has not done so, should register. No matter what party you may be affiliated with it is your duty to register and it is your duty to vote and give expression through the ballot in favor of the party and those whom you prefer in the nation, state and the county. The registration law was placed upon the statute books for the express purpose of protecting every legal voter in the state. The law in a large measure will well serve its purpose.

principle./ It is dirty money when it comes from an insurance company without knowledge or consent of its policy-holders: or from a Harriman expecting to edit a president’s message: or from ‘the Morgan Interests which are so friend us;" from a corporation that is trying to buy privilege, or even from a harmless millionaire who merely seeks to make his country ridiculous as an ambassador abroad. No fear that the people will not support a people's campaign sufficiently tor proper purposes. No greater and no other support is necessary.—New York World.
