Entered at the puatotnew lu Decatur, as cU.« irtUL The Decatur Hearald, of Decatur, Illinois Issued a New Years day paper showing what a live city it is. One feature was a letter irom each of the other Decaturs In the United States. Decatur, Indiana was the next largest and Decatur, Washington, the tiniest and each claimed to be the best. The meeting of the farmers at the court room was a good meeting, because it showed that our citizens are alive, that they belive in taking part In public affairs, in when they employ a man to represent them they I want him to know what their ideas I are. The suggestions made were wise | and Mr. Beatty will recognize their [ ideas as far as possible. Governor Sulzer, of New York, said Thursday:

| I am the Democratic leader of the state: the people decreed it at the pells and 1 stand on their verdict. I can't succeed in doing what 1 want to do as Governor unless I am the Democratic leader. If any Democrat in the state challenges that leadership let him come out in the open and the people will decide. The new Governor said that ho would receive any one who desired to see him —whether it were Roosevelt, Karnes, Murphy. J. Pierpont Morgan or Thomas F. Ryan—but he said ‘ they must see me in the open the same as any other person." He added that he would, of course receive requests from Murphy, as the leader of an important political organization, but would reserve the right to deny them 1f they were not proper. If Governor Sulzer Ilves up to these principles no lover of good government will have anything to complain of. AU that the people ask is that the men shout they commission as leaders shall lead. There is no reason why the Governor of any state should abdicate in favor of a state boss holding no office. This apparently Is the Idea of New York's Governor. He holds that he la bound to assume the leadership because the people ha v e commanded that he do so. Nothing more than this Is needed to put the bosses out of business. AU that is asked is that men in office shall be their own masters, acknowledging no obligation racept to the poople. i,. - r WANTED— Middle agt-d lady to keep house -Vai Snell. R R 5. 3tJ LOST—K.

Discussed Legislation (Coutitiu d from Page 1) 500 miles of our own. John Nidlinger struck a popular j chord when he asked that the representative be urged to present a law ! providing tha’ no officer or set of otflI cers have their salaries increased and J that any law increasing a salary I should not take affect during the term during which law is passed. About the most important action of the men who met here this morning i was the voicing of an opinion favoring ; a law’ which takes tie repairs of grav|el and macadam roads out of the I hands of the county and gives that power to each township, to be looked after by repair superintendents who also do the work of the present super-1 visors and receive the same pay. The law is also to provide that each town- i ship use the money received from that; tax in that township. Quite a discussion regarding a law providing for the establishment of stations where serum can be obtained by the farmers for the treatment of hogs stricken with cholera. This action is being taken In other states and Adj ams county farmers do not want Indij ana to be In the rear on anything. Mr. Beatty will prepare such bills as he was instructed to do at this | meting and will have an idea on vari- ; ous problems when the bills are pre- ■ sented by others In the legislature for : there were many ideas expressed. A suggestion that the liquor laws \be changed so that it affects wards and townships instead of cities and townships did not meet with the approval of those present and no action was taken. The meeting continued until 12 o’clock and adjourned to reconvene at 1:30 this afternoon. o — .. „■ JAIL DELIVERY FOILED.

A certain person in the city who has read miles and miles of dope on ’the new parcels post system, ceased Ito wonder why a certain rush order •of Kodak prints has not yet arrived from Fort Wayne, when it waa read i in the Fort Wayne papers that several i hundred fourth class packages were held at the poetoffice there tiecause they bore ordinary stamps Instead of I the distinctive parcels poet stamps On New Year’s day the party took some pictures, for which there was urgent desire. It waa the custom to mail the films to the Fort Wayne house handling the distinctive dapplies to get them developed. On account of the iiostoffice having a legal holiday New Year's day. It was known if the films were mailed here, in the I afternoon, the package would not leave until the next morning and problably not reach the photo bouse until nearly the next neon. Accordingly the party went to Fbrt Wayne intending ' to leave the films at the photo stone, but found it closed for the day. The package was I he* dropped in the nnll 1 slot at the Fort Wayne rostotficc.' thinking that the local delivery would get It there In good time the next I morning. The package boro the ordin-I ary stamps with which the films had I been mailed scores and scores of j timet before, the party forgetting that the package would come under the new parcels post class. The order waa marked "rush,” but it has not yet been heard from. I . I Mrs. Henry Schultz. who has been til several weeks, was not so well this - morning, and was again under tire. care of a doctor.
