Entered at the postoffice in Decatur,' Indiana, as sceond class mail, A TRIBUTE TO GOVERNOR MARSHALL Gov. Thomas R. Marshall is neither a great leader of men nor a great eonstructive statesman, but he is a God- ’ fearing man who does his duty in accordance with his interpretation of' Holy Writ and the maxims of Thomas Jefferson. In looking backward over I the democratic state administration , one can find little to condemn and j much to praise. It is true that Gov- I ernor .Marshall proved a poor strate- i gist in the matter of consitutions. j During a considerable part of his aJI ministration he was estranged from an element of the democratic party that might have been of great service and counsel to him, but the present harmony in the democratic ranks is a crowning consummation of his quest for safe anchorage. We do not presume to say the democratic party is united behind Governor Marshall. There are dry democrats who voted the democratic legislative ticket two years ago and for Governor Marshall four years ago. notwithstanding the democratic party was committed to the repeal of the county local option law, who believed nevertheless that Governor Marshall would ignore the platform pledge and veto the repeal act. They were disappointed as they ought to have been. They had no right to expect Governor Marshall would violate a platform pledge. It would have been a dishonorable thing to do and Governor Marshall, as a self-respecting official and whatever his private opinions, was bound to sign the repeal act. We say this regardless of the fact that we personally favor rigid saloon regulation. At the time of the McNamara arrests, the governor was attacked by demagogic labor leaders for issuing the

warrant for the extradition of self-con-fessed dynamiters. The attack was based on the fallacious assumption that the governor was bound to know the McNamaras were prominent leaders in a labor organization, and, so knowing, was bound to deal with them as representatives oi a powerful constituency on election day rather than as accused criminals. The governor s prompt response to the request of Detective William J. Burns, whom he did not know', for a warrant was his own vindication if any was needed. Barring the enactment ot numerous labor and humanitarian laws, Governor Marshall's administration will not go down in history as one marked by great constructive reforms. But hearkening back to previous administrations, Hanly, Durbin and Mount. ' who were republicans, where is there ' one that exceeds it in reform legislaI tion? There was nothing conspicuous in the entire twelve-year period, from the beginning of Mount to the beginning of Marshall, to distinguish it trom the present administration unless it be the extravagance of the Hanly administration. The present administration, with the exception oi new offices created and increased salaries added to the annual budget, has been one of economy. There has been no high financeering under Governor Marshall. This is Marshall day in Indianapolis. We do not happen to be advocating the election of Governor Wilson and Governor Marshall, because we differ with them on fundamental principles of government. We think so much of Governor Marshall, the man, that we extend to the guests of the notification committee the welcome of this newspaper. We bid Bull Moosers and republicans join with the democratic hosts in the celebration o. this day as a non-partisan event XV e extend to Governor and Mrs. Marshall our personal greetings on this occasion. —Indianapolis Sun, Bull Moose j OST —button with small set.

John Henry, son of George W. and Sarah Jane Gates, nee Crawford, was born at Linn Grove, Adams county, Indiana, July 9, 1868, and departed this life at his father’s home, four and i one-half miles northwest of Berne on August 24, 1912, aged 44 years, I month and 15 days. November 2, 1893, he was married to Miss Lillian Smith, from whom he separated May 29, 1899. To this union was born one son, Ellis Edgar. Fourteen years ago August 21st he departed this life at the age of two and one-half years. He was also preceded in death by his mother, three brothers and two halfsisters. He leaves an aged father, step-mother, three half-sisters and one half-brother, and a host of other relatives and friends to mourn his departure. He was left motherless at the age of four years, and with the exception of five years, which he spent with his father in Ohio, his entire life was spent in Adams countv, until October 6, 1900, when he removed to Michigan, where he spent the remainder of his life, until last April 9th. During January and February he paid a visit home, returning to Michigan, February 27th. He remained only six weeks, again returning home on April 9th, broken in health. Everything possible was done to restore his health, but to no avail. In 1897 he united with the Pleasant Valley M. P. church. During his illness he many times expressed his peace and hope in his God. His suffering was long and severe, but this he bore with patience and fortitude. He was an honored member of the Berne Knights of Pythias lodge, No. 398, which was in charge of the last sad rites. May his ashes rest in peace. Mr. and Mrs. M. Bums and Mrs. Mary Congleton and daughter, Miss Bess, attended the funeral services held Tuesday. Rev. Kohne of Willshire was in charge and delivered a worthy tribute to the dead man. —o NOTICE. I will start my cider mill August 20th and will maek cider every Tuesday and Thursday until further notice.
