A green Christmas may be more comfortable but it disagrees with all the old fbgends. — i Congressman Hoehne hands out a lot of advice to the Indiana legisla- . tors, and most of it is pretty good, but did you ever stop to think that i about the easiest thing on earth is to advise the other fellow what be ! ought to do? The average representa-' tive and senator knows that the pro- | gressive spirit is in the air, bek A.t the new laws must be framed in a j sensible and practical manner. The Daily Democrat is closing its tenth year and its columns are significant of the fact that the merchants of this city realize its worth as an advertising medium, our family of readers consists of about three thousand subscribers who with their ftfllies make a complete list of practically sis- j teen thousand readers. We are proud of it, and hope to continue to j battle for the things we believe best for the community. In a speech at the Southern Society of New York Tuesday night- Presidentelect Wilson held up a warning finger | to any man who might deliberately start a panic in this country to affect | legislation He said that be doubted if any man lived who dart-4 to do sech a thing for he would be condemned by the people of this country so long as a member of his family lived. He said he did not fear such a eoodl- > tion and exin-ssed the belief that there Is absolutely no cause for It. Decatur is infested at this time with a very tough gang, brought here to do labor of one kind er another. The Erie and the others who employ those men are excusable because it is almost Impossible to secure workmen of any kind, but the officials and police of the city should be alive to the situation and take every precaution to avoid hold ups, assaults and drunken-

ness on the streets and should see that the offenders are punished severely enough to teach them that such acts will not be tolerated, m this commitnlty. .1. Pierpout Morgan, America's greatest financier, is today on the witnuess stand before the investigating the money trust. He traveled from New York to the capital in a richly equipped special train and accompanied by the best lawyers that j money can hire. He and his party I took rooms at a Washington hotel I without registering and all callers were denied. It may be all right, but | there is that mysterious something that smells of graft connected with 1 all these affairs and this is the i>art most distasteful to the general public. According to the report of th® Indi-' ana Centennial commissior, owners of real estate in the capital city, where 1 it was proposed to build a public building in celebration of the one hundredth anniversary of the founding of I the state, have boosted the prices to a ' place that looks like highway rookery. To the average taxpayer this will be most pleasing, for none of them ! sail shed many tears if this unnec- ' essary expenditure is overlooked in some way or other. Sentiment is nil right, but when it costs a couple of million dollars a fellow often changes his mind. ——V— —UP— — Opportunity is a Something— not a nothing; also something Real--not a phantom. And, too. Opportunity is an i , Ever-present—here touay and here to ! morrow. By moments, hours, uays, i weeks, months—years, she hovers about, unseen and unheard —except as 'her Spirit is leit and—seized! Then it is that the man moves—catches tier . meaning—and feeling courageously, grasps at her call and her message and moulds it into deeds Opportunity is the hand of progress to the ■ alert, and the "handwriting on the' wall'* of failure, to the groggy and the slothful. For of all messengers of ' Ugi4 she—Opportunity—is the one ’I • * most patient, most fair, most just and most considerate. Opiortunity is no I respecter of persons or of seasons. I She is ever on the job and she ever wails and waits. The man may tall! forever • asleep—but Opportunity— , never. At this actual minute she stands before YOU. All through tpe live-long day she will be at your call, j Ughtning-like she flashes her mes-1 sages to all—but her sole appeal Is to THE MAN—to you. Think! How about it? “Stop, look, listen"—can you see, hear, feel, grip her hand? ' Make the most of what she holds this | day for you. Think—think, think! . Then ACT.-- Adams.
