Tile weather man promises to warm things up within a few days and we do not doubt that within a week we will be wishing for these extra fine breezes which now seem too numerous. Vice President Marshall is having a real vacation this week, sauntering around over old Indiana, the state he loves, and where Ilves those who really love him. Its good to come home, even after one has wen a high place in the best government in the world and Mr. Marshall does not hesitate to say so. A little boosting on your part right now is worth ten rimes as much as it is when everything is Just as you want it We have the best town on earth, surrounded by a country that equals the garden of Eden, and we can't help going forward, but we will make better time if everybody helps. Quit knocking and try boosting. Yon will like it after yon get the habit. The attempt of the English snffiagettes to make a martyr out of Emily ■Wilding Davison is hardly likely to count for a great deal In furthering the cause of votes for women. The misguided woman whoee death followed injuries sustained when she attempted to halt the king's horse in the Epsom derby, has merely sacrificed her life without in any way advancing the cause which she championed.—Fort Wayne Sentinel. Those who are endeavoring to belittle President Wilson’s efforts to stop the lobbyist are in mightily small business and will only injure their own cause. President Wilson has a long string of reform successes to his credit while governor of New Jersey. He has established the fact that he never starts anything until he knows where he is at and the people are with him. Even if there should be no plain case of lobbying made out in the present investigation it’s a safe bet that the professional lobbyist In the future will make himself mighfv scarce about Washington ’frhile PresSclent Wilson is in the white house.— I ortland Sun. LOST—Black, curly Newfoundland dog. May 31; probably followed team to country. Return to D. W. Wagoner and receive reward. 137t3*
