Entered at the poetofflce in Decatur, All records for the month of June were broken yesterday, when the thermometer showed ninety-eight degrees. And at that there were only two deaths in the state, as small a -ate of fatalities as will be shown by any state the size of Indiana. There >s always something to figure out that we live in the best state in hot or cold weather. Secretary Bryan won the good opin ion of the Brazillian minister on the diplomacy of the new administrat. It is given out that Bryan succeeded in convincing the representative of the southern empire that the w’ay to obtain business abroad is through "absolutely honorable commercial methods." He argued the "dollar dip lomacy” all out of the head of the foreign diplomat.—Columbia City Post W, E. Longley, state fire marshall, is making a strenuous effort to prevent Fourth of July fires ,and he deserves the support of every good citizen. Patriotism is a fine thing and we are glad that the boys of todayare as full of it as were those of a score and a half years ago, but we ar.i learning that there are other ways to get rid of that patriotic feeling than by burning down buildings, shooting out the lives of fellow beings or maiming for life some playmate. Under the new law every township trustee and every town clerk is an assistant and to these officials the fire chief is appealing for aid.

We have been asked to criticize the city because of the fact that our streets are, not better lighted and a little investigation leads us to believe that so far as the city is~concerned, the streets are better lighted than in any city of the same size in the state. The arc lights extend to the city limits in every direction and there are many of them. Down town there are arc lights and a few ornamental posts, not as many as there should be, and we hope there will be more before long. The looks of the main streets would be greatly added to If the merchants would allow the lights in the windows to burn after closing hours. Th© Cost of this is very small and it would help out more than you imagine. These things of course are not controlled by the city and it takes the cooperation of every citizen to make a good town.

INDIANA POLICITAL NEWS. Indianapolis, Ind,, June 17—Booms —political booms and boomlets—are reverberating over the political fields of Indiana today, some of the booms are deep but mostly they are hollow and al! are still made of more or less ftound. Also it isthe season of the building of fences—political fences; of the making of sweet promises; of the loosening of the purse-strings, occasionally; and, last but not least, of the hiring of press agents. It makes no difference to a boom that the next convention period is beyond th e horizon of 1914. It makes no difference how many other booms are reverberating down the same field. The country must be saved and the willing patriots are numerous. The process is something like this. The patriot appears at the'state house, or perhaps his best friend appears. Incidental to a discussion of president Wilson, the tarriff, currency problems, the Japanese-California muddle and other trifles, the patriot mentions himself among those mentioned for a certain office, or the friend mentions the patriot. Preste, it's a boom and it starts reverberating. Now most of the booming has been done by Democrats up to date, of course, no one dare say that this Is because the Democrats are holding about every office in the state list and that the Democrats are confident of keeping these offices. That is, no one dare say it but a Democrat. The refere, imbued with the belief that a Democrat again will fill most of the vacancies when the terms of the present office holders expire, dozens and dozens of Democrats are coming into the open and starting their booms to reverberating. For secretary of state, Homer Cook, speaker of the last house of representatives, said he would like to succeed Lew Elllngham. Then there is Mr. Samuel M. Quillen of Indianapolis and Linton, secretary of the last house who threw his boom tinto the ring. Fort treasurer of state Carl Lauenstain of Evansville is mentioned by friends and state senator, Charles Akin of Carlisle avers as how he can run the treasurer's office to the queen’s taste. State treasurer William N. Vollmer, is being boomed to oppose Cullep, also Vollmer wanted the Vincennes postmastership it is said, but he did not get it. Ox the other hand, Cullep is supposed to btf willing to name Vollmer’s man to the postmastership and that all is to be smooth sailing between the two. For auditor o fthe state a race is already under way between the booms of D. J. Crittenberger of Anderson and Myron D. King, deputy auditor of state. That the present auditor, W. 11. O’Brien of Lawrenceberg, will again be a candidate for governor is being rumored. Mr. O'Brien, in reply to questions, said he wasn’t w’illing to commit himself at this early stage of the game. Charles Greathouse, state superintendent of public instruction, also is a candidate for the governship which comes up again three years hence. Lieutenant Governor O’Neill must be figured on in the gubernatorial race.

It is said that Crittonberger already has the promise of the Taggart machine in the race for ouditor. For state superintendent of public schools John Hoffman, at present assistant to Mr. Greathouse, is a candidate. Sam Scott of Jeffersonville who sought to break into the field last time Is also out again for the superintendentship. Richard M. Milnurn, Jasper; state senators, George Curtis, Mt. Vernon, and B. B. Shively of Marion; Ed Corr, Bloomington, deputy attorney general, and Con. Daily of Bluffton are among those “mentioned" for attorney-gener-al. Booms in the ranks of the Republicans and the Bull Moosers are not rv verberating so loudly. It is improbable that Albert J. Beveridge will again be the progressive candidate for Governor, though it is possible. The choice of the Republicans for Governor also is muddled and Winfield Durbin of Anderson will hardly be a candidate again. It is possible that the state Republican convention will prove to be an interesting fight with James p. Goodrich at the head of the progressive faction The Hemonway-Fajr-banks Watson faction can hardly be expected to step down with a good last right. Many of last fall's condidates on the Bull Moose ticket are expected to appear on the ticket next election. . — o WORK WANTED—Young man. recently arrived from the old country, speaks fair English, wants place as farm hand.
