Entered at the postoiOcu In Decatur, inditL*. as scecnd cU»a JMil WILSON’S NEW BOOK President-elect Wilson has startled the nation by the announcement that a new book from his pen, “The New , Freedom,” will make its appearance , Tuesday of this week. In it he makes , as he puts it “an attempt to express j the new spirit of our politics and to ( set forth in large terms which may , stick in the imagination what it is that , must be done if we are to restore our , politics to its full spiritual vigor again, , and our national life, whether in trade, , in industry, or in what concerns us ( only as families and individuals, to its j purity, its self-respect and its strength ] and freedom. The new freedom is only ] the old revived and clothed in the un- | conquerable strength of modern America." These notes from the book will I, give you some idea of the spirit with ' | which Woodrow Wilson enters upon his duties as president: The development of business on al' large scale is inevitable and is probably desirable. The trusts have not grown; they have been artificially created. They are a lot of giants staggering under the artificial burdens of their over- . capitalization and constantly looking about lest some little pygamy with a stone in a sling may come out and slay them. For my part, I want the pygamy to have a chance to come out. I foresee a time that it will be a case of Jack the giant killer. I'll undertake to put a water-logged giant out of business any time if you ■will give me as much credit as I am entitled to and let the law give me fair play. A trust is an arrangement [ to get rid of competition, and big bust-1 ness has survived competition by intelligence and economy. This Money Trust should properly be called the credit trust and it is no myth. I have seen men squeezed by [ it I have seen men put out of bus- j iness by Wall street because Wall I street didn’t want their competition. The dominating dagger in this land is the combination of combinations, threaded together into a community of interest. These seem to have no match or competitor except the federal government itself. A compara- ' tively small number of men control the water powers; that same number '

of men largely control the railroads; by agreement they control prices, and the same group of men control the larger credits of the country. Hang on. Keep boosting. Did it ever occur to you that the fellow who gets there is the one who hangs on Just a little longer than he thinks he can. Just when the hour seems the darkest, the sun bursts through and the clouds are dispelled.

came easy, there would be no glory in securing it. Governor Ralston, Indiana’s new governor, starts in well. He insists upon carrying out the pledges of the platform—"not to carry out the pledges of the platform would," he declares, v be a betrayal of the people's confidence.” He recommends an efficient primary law, a public utilities law, an inheritance tax, a law against the sale of watered stock and a workman's compensation act. It is a good beginning. Indiana is a little behind some of her sister states but it looks like Governor Ralston intended to bring her up to the line. —The Commoner. The bill providing for the Sunday theaters has been amended to prevent the theater from operating but permitting the five cent shows to do business from one o'clock, noon, until eleven o’clock at night. If the law-makers arc not careful they will make the Sabbath a day of amusement rather than a day of rest and worship. Os course, the churches and many others, who respect the day, are bitterly opposed to the measure, the only argument in its behalf being that of the laboring man, who is thus given the opportunity to enjoy the afternoon, or evening. FORMER RESiDENT Dies at Pleasant. KansasMrs. Geo. Gunsett Passes Away Sunday. FROM TUBERCULOSIS Moved to West About Three Months Ago in Hopes of Recovering Health. A telegram was received this morning by Mr. and Mrs. Mart Andrews informing them of the death of their sister-in-law, Mrs. George Gunsett, at [Pleasant, Kansas. Mr. and Mrs. Guusett moved to Kansas shortly after i Home-coming week, they returning with Mrs. Gunsett's mother, Mrs. Margaret Good Merriman, thinking that the change in climate would be a bene- : tit for her health, but instead of improving she gradually declined until [death relieved her of her sufferings ' Sunday.

She is survived by her mother and four brothers, John, Abner, Charles and Marion, and two sisters, Effie and Myrtle.
