Tn a half-column editorial headed ! ‘‘The Decatur Democrat's Delirium,”; the Fort Wayne News takes a fling at! I ns that shows about how- close they I ( come to being fair. The editorial col- < urns of the News are edited by a man on a salary, who writes to entertain, ( rather than because he feels the call to i aid his community. This one has two; hobbies, one is that whan a man is charged with murder he ought to be '. hung, whether or no, and the oth- ■ 1 er is to pick out items from the press of the smaller cities in this section of 1 . the state, twist them as suits his pur- 1 , I pose and then assuming a haughty air, ( using unheard-of words which he care- , fully selects from Webster, try to show t them up. In this particular instance . if old Mr. Wise has read the editorial , V to which he referred, or had used it all, he would have discovered that it belonged to and was duly credited to • the Goshen Democrat. At that we are! willing to back up every word that' was said therein and this wonderful era of prosperity that they talk about t has not been so wonderful for the or- < dinary business man or the laborer. ' * True, the trusts and “big business” c have grown richer, but the trouble has ' been that the common people have not • been in on the profit-sharing plan, ex- 1 cept so far as they have been permit-' ted to pay more for the goods they 1 have been graciously allowed to buy. '* . ’ I if the News has to twist ah article ; about as they have this one to drum i up an argument, they are certainly near the end of the quarrel with ev-; erybody and everything. ■ As speaker of the house of representatives, Homer Cook, of Marion county has so far achieved success and J a reputation of being square and hon, est to a fault. He has treated every person inside and out of the legislature, in a manner that denotes hon-: esty of purpose and his record at the close of the session, will, n confidently believe, call attention to his abilities and cause him to be mentioned among the more than possibilities for a substantial place on the democratic ticket in 1914. His name would add to the strength thereof and bis wide acquaintance would make him a valuable man to lead the ticket As secre-

tary of state he would be capable and efficient. Mr. Cook is one of the big leaders of Indiana democracy and he is one of the clean kind that it pays to have lead us. Mr. Keegan, the labor leader, who tendered his resignation to Governor Ralston, refusing to longer serve as a member of, the body because they defeated a bill which he thought ought to pass, continues to assume the attitude of the one man on a jury who was right, while the other eleven were stubborn. His is a baby play and he is not doing himself, his cause, or his party any good by such actions. If the ’governor accepts the resignation he ' would have to call a special election in Marion county at a great host. It ps likely the governor will not accept the offer of Mr. Keegan, and the latter can return to his chair and again take up his fight for any principles he believes right, or he can of course continue in his determination to resign. Along with the pleasures of March 4th, it begins to look as though Woodrow Wilson will enter upon his duties as president of the United States with a problem about as big as any he will have during his term, that of deciding on the best course to pursue in regard to Mexico. It seems certain that Mr. Taft has had all the fight he wants and will keep “hands off.” What will Wilson do? RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT. (In memory of Curtis A. Barkley) Once again, death has summoned a brother Odd Fellow and the golden ' gateway to the eternal city has opened to welcome him to his home. He has completed his mark in the ministering to the wants of the afflicted in shedding light into darkened souls and bringing joy into the places of mis-, ery and as his reward the plaudit “Well done” from the Supreme Master; and Whereas, the all-wise and merciful Father has called our beloved and re-1 spected brother home; and Whereas, he having been a true and faithful mrotuCr of our mystic order,; therefore, be it 1 (Resolved, That St. Mary’s lodge, No. i 167.
