The garnishee bill, In which Decatur merchants, as well as those of the other towns and cities of Indiana, are interested, passed the house yesterday. Governor 'Ralston will act when it gets to him, he announces, and he '** will do that which he believes right and Just. He refused to take any part in the passage of the law, stating that to be the duty of the legislators. He is sound. Some scraps those of yesterday's local option election. Pitted against each other were politicians young and old, with and without experience, but each a foe whose ability had to be reckoned with. Lined up, side by side were men of various political parties, democrats and republicans and bull moose, each using the knowledge of past campaigns to the advantage of the cause he favored. The close result proves that on each side were men who knew the game of getting votes. This is not a day of triumph; it Is a day of dedication. Here muster, not the forces of party, but the forces of humanity. Men’s hearts wait upon us; men’s lives hang in the balance; men’s hopes call upon us to say what we will do. Who shall live up to the great trust? Who dares fail to try? I summon all honest men, all patriotic, all forward-looking men, to my side. God helping me, I will not fall them, if they will but counsel and sustain me!—From Woodrow Wilson’s Inaugural Address. President Wilson gets dow’n to work like a veteran and that’s just what he is. Twenty-five years ago he gave to the colleges of this nation a text book on the governments of the world, that has never been excelled and is still in use. Since then he has grown in every v«ay and no man ever began the duties as president of the United States, better prepared for the work. We believe it is so acknowledged. The press of the nation is back of him, all declaring that he is acting with judgment and care and that he will do the best he knows how for all 1 the people. . : South Caroline was always ahead of other better ordered states, espe-

It is don't kill at once, howjever, it usually puts the victim beyond the pale of human succor. As j for us, in the language of Patrick j Henry, “Give me liberty or give me death." Yes, any old way, except peiagra.—lndianapolis Star. Mr. Marshall does not love money and has laid up no store of it. Hence he will expect to make his $12,000 a year suffice in Washington. This will mean living in hotel quarters and selfrespecting modesty in ways of entertaining. This may not please Washington society, but the vice-president and his wife will be genuinely hospitable after a sensible fashion, and will retain the respect of the American people. They are likable folk of the Intelligent and self-respecting sort such as were in evidence in the older days of the republic, and still represent the best life of the republic. The atmosphere of the new administration as it is created by President and Mrs. Wilson and Vice-President and Mts. Marshall will be refined and cordial, but may be expected to savor more of the home than the expensive caterer. —Springfield Republican. I ——— COURT HOUSE NEWS.
