Entered at the postoffice in Decatur, THE ... i < - . ! i CURRENCY. The people will soon know exactly what it is that the President and the leaders of his party with whom he consulted purpose in the way of banking and currency legislation. In taking up this matter promptly at this time there seems to be no disposition on the part of the President to push through a measure without a full understanding on the part of the public and ample consideration by the members of congress. On the contrary, thp avoidance of unnecessary delay contributes toward both things. There is greater opportunity for singeminded devotion to this great subject now than is likely to occur later amid the multitude of topics likely to come up at the regular session. The tarriff question is virtually settled. Uncertainty concerning this subject is slight be- : cause of a pretty clear understanding ■ on the part of business men as to what ! is going to be enacted in this line, and all that is asked is prompt action. The proposed maneuvers of politicians of th 8 minority parties may be of interest to themselves, but are drawing little attention from others except that caused by annoyance over needless delay. The advantage of getting the banking and currency question before congress and the people is illustrated by the kind of talk that is given out by those who are predicting that the democratic party will “blow up” on the subject. There are vague intimations of dissention and popular disapproval. This kind of talk is easy as long as discussion continues indefinite and no test of actual opinion is taken. The same sort of thing was said in regard to tariff legislation, but thg “blow up” has thus far failed to occur. it is quite likely that much of the supposedly inevitable and irreconcilable opposition to currency policies will vanish when the subject is clearly before the public.

horror about doing anything to tariff largely disappeared as the public became used to the subject through rational discussion. Senator Owen has said that when a concrete and tangible proposition in regard to currency legislation, such as contained in the proposed bill, is brought before congress many of the supposed difficulties of th e subject will disappear. This may well be true. And the advantage es of a definite proposition for public, as well as congressional, consideration are undeniable. —Indianapolis News. While many are praying for rain, and cooler weather, it’s not often that a condition of weather is not beneficial to some crop. Mr. Wagner, the agriculturist for the beet sugar company, is authority for the statement that this hot, dry weather is adding on to the beets at the rate of an inch a day. When the ground is dry and the sun hot, the roots of the beets are searching for water and ar e working down in the ground rapidly. Mr. Wagner says that ten days more of dry weather would not injure the beets. Let’s smile. •*

Meredith Nicholson, gifted author and splendid gentleman, has been appointed envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary to Portugal, the official act of the president having been done yesterday. The president carried the nomination to the senate himself after a short visit from Vice President Marshall. Mr. Nicholson will conduct himself in a manner that will bring credit to his state. An after harvest jubilee is a possibiMty, in fact it need not surprise you to hear at any time an official call of the old home week committee with the idea of stirring things up for such an occasion. Nothing does so much to get our business men together and to create a general good feeling. It helps in a hundred ways and every community ought to have a holiday week at least once a year. A few years ago the general public would not have believed that all the statements said about the big conven- / tion day to be held here Thursday were really expected to be carried out, but now it’s different, and you have a right to expect that what has been advertised for that event will really happen, barring unavoidable accidents. It's a good reputation for a community to have. Democrat Want Ads Pay.

A QUIET WEDDING Louis Rice, the Well Known Druggist, Claims Miss Lillian Harris AS HIS BRIDE ♦ Married Last Evening—Couple Left at Once for Eastern Trip. Louis Rice, the well known druggist, member of the firm of Callow & Rice, was quietly married Wednesday evening at 8:30 o'clock, to Miss Lillian Harris, a. popular young lady of the city. The wedding was witnessed by only the immediate families and was solemnized at the home of the bride's cousin, Mrs. John B. Meibers, on North Fifth street. The Rev. Karl Thompson, Mlethodist minister, officiated. A very pretty costume of white embroidery, made with shoulder drape, in the prevailing style, was worn by the bride as her wedding frock.

Immediately after the wedding Mr. and Mrs .Rice left for an eastern trip, and on their return will be at home in this city. Th e wedding comes as a surprise to many, though the close friends of the couple have had a hint of it for some time. The bride is a sweet and lovable young lady, accomplished in many ways, and possesses among other desirable accomplishments the rar e one of domestic skill. She spent the greater part of her life in this city, and was educated in the city schools, and is active in lodge and church circles. She is a daughter of Joseph Harris. Th e groom is a graduate of the city schools, and of Purdue university. He received his pharmaceutical education at the university, and also in practical work in the city’s drug stores. He was formerly pharmacist in th e Blackburn drug store, later entering the business for himself. He was formerly associated with the Lachots in the drug business, and at present is associated with Horace Callow. He is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph G. Rice of this city. —— ■ , — o

To the General Public: relieving that all people enjoy good music and that Decatur has the musicians who will make a first-class band, we are asking everybody interested, not only business and professional men, to assist us in a financial way, as we cannot exist as an organization without financial support. This proposition is left entirely (o the citizens of Decatur. If they desire band concerts they can have them; if not, no harm has been done, i'he reason for this article is simply this: The band members have regular vocations and have not the time nor the inclinations to beg contributions, and we don't think that the business men ought to furnish all the money. Mali or hand your contributions to Mr. Frank Kern. If no concepts are given your money ; will be refunded. As to the business'meni we are asking you to think the matter over beforehand, so that when you are solicited there need be no parleying. DECATUR K OF P. BAND.
