Knot, better hurry. You have this evening yet to save the ten per cent penalty. Don't wait until tomorrow and then talk about the law or the officer. Do it today. The Daily Pharos and the Daily Reporter, the two evening papers of Logansport, and two very strong papers, by the way, well edited and well printed, have combined and beginning today will appear as one dailjT taking care of that field in a metropolitan manner. The season for house cleaning is here and the ladies who have charge of that part or tne community are busy as bees. How about te general cleaning of the streets and alleys, the hauling away of the rubbish, and the fixing of a date for doing so These are more important to the community than house cleaning. Men get busy. A Muncie woman secured a divorce Saturday, went to her room and found a note from the police department that her former husband had committed suicide. The grief she displayed a few moments afterward makes one wonder why she was willing to tell the story of her life an hour before if she really felt the love she claimed. It s a queer old world after all! L i ■ The democratic mayoralty campaign at Indianapolis is developing into about the warmest contest ever held in that municipality. Meredith Nicholson, the novelist, has issued a statement in opposition to Joseph Bell, the machine candidate, and appeals to the Wilson and Bryan democrats for clean politics. The result will be watched over the state and nation. The democratic city committee of Bluffton will meet Wednesday evening to fix a date for the primary. There has been no effort among that line in this city by any party, but there has been more or less talk of the results. The democrats should plan to name a clean ticket of men 1 qualified to conduct the affairs of the city. If they do they will win by the usual majority.
