The same number of days remain for us to really do something worth while. Decatur needs many improvements and we should keep moving forward. A pastor of a local church in his Sunday sermon said that one great trouble I with too many individuals and too many churches are that they keep going, but they go around in a circle instead of going forward. The same is true of communities. Let's go forward this year, not around and around. Let s really do something. Decatur needs many things, a new factory or two would help, an Industry to occu- , py the automobile building, a Y. M. C. A. or a public gymnasium, a high i school building, a hundred new homes, a public park where the old cemetery ' has become an eye-sore, and oh, so ] many things. Don’t quit. Many a fel- | low without great ability has made 1 good, because of his perseverance., Keep going, but keep going forward, 1 not around in a ring. , " ——— , i We present to you today pictures of i the new monument to be erected here 1 in honor of the heroes of the civil war. ' In criticizing It bear in mind that we < progress, that the monument of today, , modeled by a sculptor of national 1 fame, is as much different as the one 1 of twenty years ago, as is the steelgirded building of today ahead of the old-fashioned structure. The ideas are * new, but they are nevertheless attrac- ’ five, beautiful and designed to add to 1 but not detract from surrounding buildings. ( 1 Governor Marshall will neat Monday ( turn over the affairs as executive of 1 the great state of Indiana tc the gov- 1 ernor-elect, Samuel M. Ralstcn. The ' record of Governor Marshall has been , a creditable one. and we have faith ] in the ability, the integrity and the J progressiveness of Mr Ralston. POLICE COURT.

WE HAVE A SLOGAN Daily Democrat Would Like to Have a Circulation of 6,000 in 1923, OUR ANNIVERSARY First Week Was a Big Success and Wc Want Each of the Others to be so. The Daily Democrat Is ten years old. : We are glad to have lived ttfeee ten years, glad to have been a part and to have achieved a part in the glorious history that has been written by the husUing, busy, boosting citizens of Decatur and Adams county. We rejoice in the success of every one, and especially if that one has had the nerve and the good business sense to have accomplished something for himself. This is the one thing worth living for. Money, riches or honor count for little as compared to the man or the woman who has succeeded in making a place for himself or herself. Among those who have sucseeded the Daily Democrat is deserving of creditable mention. It has been a rocky road and many times the flag of distress came near being hoisted to the windwand. But grim determination and a loyal love for the work preserved and finally won the day. Today the Democrat is one of the live in-

stitutions of the city and every week furnishes the substantial* of life to a dozen families. So you see we have many reasons for celebrating thia our tenth anniversary Many o f our subscribers have been subscribers and readers sinve the initial number of the Daily Democrat was issued on January 12. 1903. The small list then served has grown to large proportions and now every nook and corner in Adams county keep* posted on the news ( of the day through the columns of the Daily Democrat The beautiful knife being given a* a souvenir is our appreciation of your confidence and belief in us. We have tried to serve you faithfully and well, and the large and still growing larger subscription list attest* the fact that w* have *ue'ceeded. W’e want that list to grow to Mr. P. W. Smith’s prediction of 6,000 in ten years more. W’e appreciate your good will. We want you to have one of our souvenir knives and the only rule to observe in possessing on* ( of them is to subscription to [January, 1614. We propose to make thia the banner month in th* history ]of newspaper making In Decatur, and , you can help ua to attain thi* high waiter mark and at the same time help yourself to a handsome and guaranteed pocket knlft, by paying your subscription during this month.
