The big dynamite case on trial in Indianaixtlis for several months went ■ to the jury at 5:05 Thursday evening, i It has been one of the big legal tights of the decade and the results will be wxtched with interest around the world. The season for the annual sale approaches and the person who has en lucky enough not to need heavy clothing before this time will now be given the opportunity to buy at a startling discount. Watch for the bargains. What resolution will Miss Decatur make for next year? There are many things of importance. We need a boys’ city. We need a new factory or two. We need another united cflort to bring the community closer together again. We need many things id it takes a resolute and determinJ spirit to get them. The express companies have decided not to tight the parcels post by reducing the rates Or making any other cu.rts. They will sit tight in the boat, believing that the new plan will tail from its own weight. They insist that the big plan cannot be operated under civil service, where the emi .oyees work but eight hours and where considerable red tape is necessary to discharge a man At a meeting of famous Berlin physicians on Christmas day. it was unanimously decided that the man of ut.y is at his best for work, and is just ten years better than the man of forty, having had the experience necessary to make him just about tight. It's good news for the fellow ho is rounding out forty years and ho has been hearing all the time at the man past thirty-five need not apply. 11 " - ■ Even though Governor Mar•hall has pardoned and paroled more prisoners than the two ,«e«edlng governors, it is not proven that his predecessors used the pardon wisely or mercifully.

CIGARETTES ARE BAD FOR WOMEN Mrs. Woodrow Wilson Has Decided Views on Subject. A CONFUSION OF NAMES Wlf* of Democratic Candidate Gives Out Letter Taking Strong Btar.d on Smoking HablL New York.—For the first time since Woodrow Wilson became ths Democratic presldautlal candidate has Mrs. Wilson appeared. Shu attended In person her husbat "a daily conference with reporters, although heretofore she has made special requests that she be not quoted nor written about in the papers. That Mrs. Wilson wished to have fully understood was that if she becomes the first lady of the land sbe will not, as has been said In a widely distributed interview, have packages of cigarettes in her personal desk at the White House and indulge In smoking them with her callers. Through Governor Wilson. Mrs. Wtt son asked that publicity be given to ■ letter she had written to the editor of the State Journal at Columbus, 0., repudiating an alleged interview with her In which she defended cigarette smoking for women. The Interview had come to her in a letter signed "American Citizen,” which said: “‘‘Dear Madam—l can scarcely think of any greater calamity to the young

women of the nation than to read such a preachment as your interview offers therft. lam a workingman, and I set men lose their jobs almost every da, because they are incapacitated so» work by tbe use of tbe cigarette. II smoking does this for strong men what will It do for girls and women?’ ' L" The "interview” was Indeed a cor dial indorsement of the woman str.ok cr. Here ate some of its assuring phrases, al) credited to Mrs. Wlisont "A woman writer for a syndicate ol Sunday newspapers asked Mrs. Wood row Wilsor it she agreed with Ger trade Atherton's opinion of the emok Ing of cigarettes by women. She smil ingly exhibited three cigarette bot es piled in the corner of her desk, all bul , empty. ’’ 'Why shouldn’t a woman smoke il she enjoys It?” she queried. " 'Why hasn’t sbe just as much rtghl to a cigarette as a man? Certainly 1 agree with Mra. Atherton that any existing prejudice against women smoking la to tbe last silly and ab ■urd. “ ’Smoking cigarettea la a question of manners, not morals. It promotes good fellowship. “‘Cone women feel that a dgaretts calms their nerves and helps theii brains into working order. Personally smoking diffuses my thoughts instead i of concentrating them. I enjoy it as I , enjoy after-dinner coffee. Both are pleasant ways of ending and finishing off; both add to conviviality and good fellowship.’" The editor of tbe Ohio State Jour

nal. It was clear, had been much to cenaed at the apologies for the cigar ette habit among women attributed to Mm Wilson, so be wrote on Aug. It an editorial tn which be called for tba defeat of Governor Wilson or a repudiation from bls wife. If them was no mistake about It, be wrote, "Mrs Woodrow Wilson shouldn't be mle tress of the White House " If the Ohio editor was emphatic. Mm Wilson was certainly not less so After the reporters had said they would gladly publish her letter to ths I Ohio editor she asked for an hour's time tn which to write one. This was what the prepared “Dear Sir—l have just received a copy of the Journal with your editorial •Milted 'HmnHne w«m*n.* end ! beg leave to Indignantly deny the state meet that 1 approve of women etuok Ing cigarette*.
