Entered at the poato ,T >~3 iu Decatur, Unt><\..., as ec-ond cla»s ruall. President-elect Wilson w ill leave the Bermudas on the 14th, two days earlier than was planned. He will be greeted upon his arrival in this country by a horde of hungry office seekers, that will make him wish he was aga'- out of sight and hearing. Read Mr. McDougall’s suggestions for beautifying tnc 01a cemetery. This noted landscape gardener will super- I intend the work and you won’t rec- 1 oguize the place if this is done. It• will add value not only to that portion of the city, but to every part of it because it will mean the beautifying of every section. There is no need in going backwards and that's what we do the minute we cease to go forward. “Better Brazil’’ is the slogan adopted at Brazil!, Ind., by a movement led by young business men and by the active club women of that city. Mr. and Mrs. Lewis McNutt have taken the initiative in a civic project which seems likely to bring large benefits to their city. At a banquet given by them nearly 200 persons, men and women. gathered to discuss local problems and get inspiration for work ou behalf of Brazil. The result was a remarkable demonstration of enthusiasm and intelligent purpose. The city which can develop a team of McNutts is indeed fortunate. —Indianapolis Star ——————— And now comes the tes». Shall Decatur go forward or not? The sugar factory will soon complete its first campaign and close down. That means that a number of men will be out of employment, not uniooked for, but perhaps unprovided for. A year ago the building of the big plant began. Since that time there has been much work here. In fact it has been a serious problem to secure labor. As a consequence we have enjoyed prosperous times. The merchants have made money, values of property have increased, and everybody has been 'airly happy. What shall we do to continue that state of affairs? Its a question that should atU must be taken care of, and Its up to us to do it.

| Are, we big enough? If so we will 1 1 continue to grow and prosper. If not we will soon be back to tho old routine. Which? Think it over. Decatur merchants fire up on their toes this year. They are asking you for your patronage aud they are entitled to it. They are the fellows who help pay the expenses of the city and county goverment They are the < j men who go down in their pockets and ' aid in every possible way to make j the community the equal of any to be found any place on the globe. They will give you the best goods at the lowest prices, consistent with good business and they should have every dollars worth of your trade. Read the announcements in the Daily Democrat 2nd govern your lives accordingly. “is the foreigner,” we are asked, “who emigrates here a benefit or a I detriment to the country?” This qtiesI tlon is very like those questions which j form the subject of college debates. The only answer is, that it all depends on “the foreigner." No one, as we understand it, is seeking to exclude, as such, any man who comes to us from abroad. Vhe restrictions are not based on religion or nationality. All that is asked is that the newcomer should desire to make his home here, that he does not belong to the criminal 1 classes, and that he is able to support himself. There are other testa, of course, but these are the important ones. —Indianapolis News. Various republican newspapers of the state are just no’T devoting much space to the “pie hunters,” meaning those who aspire to office under the new administration, and they would [ have you believe that these men have ! no right to ask for these offices. The I truth Is that it is a privilege they have. Democrats should certainly be ‘called to fill these positions which have been held for many years by republicans. We have heard of no democrats being chosen or held over to 1 fill tbs places in the public institutions under republican rule, and any honest, capable democrat, who cares to serve the public, and it is a laudable ambition, should try his best to secure the place he wants. The appointive power should be used in securing the men best fitted to fill the positions. , So far as civil service is devoted to securing mors capable men to fill of-1 flee, so far, it is good, but it does look \ as though some politics has been used ■ when one stops to think that but one out of a hundred who hold civil serv-1 Ice jobs in the United States are democrats. Certainly tb<j ratio of competency would not figure thus. The trouble with the civil service business is that it has been converted into a vast political machine.
