Entered at the postofflce In Decatur, The only unpleasant part of a va- 1 cation is the getting back to work and its routine. < The boom of thunder this morning and the dim. red reflection from the constant stream of lightning made a panorama that fifty years ago would have caused one to think that the libels were bombarding the city. The play of the storm has been equaled but few times in the memory of those living today. It is a great thing for any community to have visitors like Governor Folk, Lincoln McConnell, Ralph Hingham and the others. They travel over all the states and it’s good to have them think and speak well of your community. Besides the things they say help build a better and more thoughtful and more generous community. The democratic editors are getting back on the job after a most delightful vacation. Politics was of course discussed and the fact that many prospective candidates for state offices managed to spend a day or two | with the editors along the line, is | 1 roof that they have faith*itt the fu- ■ tore success of the party. The edi- j torial meeting this year was in every way the most successful in the history of the organization. Decatur looks mighty good to us, I after a visit to other cities of the state and we are proud to say that we have no need to feel ashamed. The well kept lawns, the pretty homes, the miles of paved streets,! the cool and inviting shade trees, the I stir of the business district, compare more than favorably with cities of twice our size.

will be the best town In the state. Much is being said by the republican press concerning the refusal of the democratic editors to pass without discussion resolutions, giving a sweeping endorsement to all the acts ot the recent legislature. The fact that they were not willing to do so but proves the honest intentions of that body of men. They did endorse every good act and each and every one believes that the body passed more good laws and fewer bad ones than any legislature in Indiana in half a century, but they are independ<nt and square enough to say that not every law passed was a model cne. If there is a republican newspaper man in the state who can point to a session of the legislature when tnat body was controlled by the republicans and in which every law passed was ideal, you can bet your last dollar that he is one of the hidebound kind that believes that a bad republican is better than a good democrat. That's the old school and such an editor will not get very far in this day and age of Wilson democracy. It would be hard to figure out just how anybody who has atended even one session of the Chautauqua could help but catch the spirit thereof. It’s great, and it’s worth all it has cost anybody to hear the children scream with delight, to see many who would otherwise not be able to hear the splendid orators, the musical entertainments and all the others, smile and cheer and enjoy the hours. The seven days have passed all too quickly and this evening marks the closing. . but it is safe to say that our people i will welcome the Chautauqua week ! next summer as one of the big and I enjoyable weeks of the entire year. The program has been good, every | number, and that tells the story oi Red path success better than could anything else. The advance sale of tickets for next year is sufficient to guarantee a better season financially for the company, and we hope they have it- This year’s meeting has been all that could be expected. The big tent has been well filled at each event and every person who has attended is a booster. We are glad they are coming again and we promise . them all the aid we can give in ranki ing it even bigger and better than this year.

Country in Need (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) not be in the condition they are today, so it is a problem io abolish poverty in <the country. Too Many Business Marriages. “In America the honest blood is the royal blood and no uihn would dishonor himself as to accept the title of lord, duke, or prince in this republic. Too many of the rich men pay too much money to buy foreign dukes and nobles for their American daughters I do not decry against the love that brings one or the other across the waters to marry, but it is the commercial marriage that I dislike. "Although our republic is only one hundred and thirty-seven years old. we have been facing a crisis in the past decade or more. The republics of Rome, Athens and Florence lasted from five hundred to one thousand years, but they fell in decay and ruin because of the fact that they were founded on selfishness and special privileges. But America is different. The republic is founded in Christian ideals of brotherhood, each man his brother’s keeper, but if the republic ever deviates from that path then she will go the route of the others. Honesty Is Best Policy. "Even the political parties are drifting back to the old principal that honesty is the best politics and policy. We no longer pay any atention to the rascal that hides behind the guise of a political organization and then says that i they prosecute him the party will be dishonored by his disclosures We begin to think that a law violator is a traitor regardless of his political faith. "The gradual emancipating of women and the granting of franchise to the women of ten states is along the line of progressive thinking 11 the ballot was based on intelligence I think that in many homes the women would vote anyway. We feel the pure influences of women in the other relations of life and would she not bear a similar influence in voting?” Mr. Folk concluded with a brief note on the new religious views, saying: "Religion is becoming broader. ’1 he time used to be when the different creeds and denominations were bitter against each other, but at th’s age the differences are not so marked. We find that the real religion is service to man and God.” o— MOVING TO FORT WAYNE. Mrs. Dallas Butler and children and Miss Geraldine Cross left today noon for Fort Wayne where they will n.ake their future home, on East Lewis street. Mr Butler has a good position there with a construction company. He has been there some time, but was unable to secure a house until now to move his family there.

A REAL GOLD MINE

As Seen by Mrs. Ellingham and the National Editorial Party in Colorado. TRIP WAS FINE Cripple Creek One Os The Points of Interest Visited By Many Editors. The trip to Cripple Creek from Colorado Springs over the Short line is advertized as the "One-day Trip that bankrupts the English language.” 1 am sorry f left my dictionary at home for I have exhausted my own limited vocabulary long ago, trying to describe the beauty and splendor of the wonderful country called the state of Colorado. Some one has written this of the road to Cripple Creek "It is sometimes difficult to tell whether some colossal aeroplane has caught us and is rushing us loreward in a race with the clouds; any way we must abandon all attempts at description and be content to look upon a thousand indescribables.’’ One does have a curious feeling look mg down and down on trees, rivers, lakes, water-fails, mountain peaks, carriage roads, houses and plains but the granduer of it holds one so entranced that one does not stop to think of the dizzy heights, or that one is traveling over the back bone oi the continent. Personally. I had quite a different view of a mining town from that afforded by Cripple Creek, which is the greatest mining camp in the world, that of these mountains have come much of the gold that has helped to make our country prosperous. I think. 1 rather expected to see big men with six shooters standing around guarding things and lawless bandits sneaking on the outskirts, but instead, Cripple Creek is a prosl>erous looking city with good homes and a lot of mighty healthy looking children. The privilege of seeing a gold mine was one most highly appreciated by all who took advantage of it. Ten ci us at a time including a guide were shut in a cage, as it is called. It was .■>ll dripping and muddy, but that was part of the fun. We were lowered to a distance of eight hundred feet und-er-ground The mines are worked at various levels. As I understand it the gold runs in veins and wherever, these are found, the mine is worked Os course we did not see gold glistening on the walls, .lust common ordinary looking dirt and rocks formed J the passages on the floor of which ' ran a track. The cars were loaded with the same thing, which is pay dirt to about the amount of twenty dollars a ton- There were great holes running up and down from these pas sages, where the men go through to i work. The guide said that a few weeks before they had .had a fight with mine thieves who were concealed in one of these which ho pointed out. So 1 was not so far off on the shooting business after all We walked a long distance through the mine the guide explaining many mining problems, which I am sure we will uever meet in Indiana. The El Paso is the only mine in Cripple Creek which does not work I or. Sunday, hence the courtesy extended to us by this company. Cripple Creek not to be out done in ho< liitality furnished us a most excellent dinner before we started hack on our journey over the road which had filled us with wonder and delight in the morning. o Got New Evidence (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) sides in Hartford City, where he is a member of a company manufactu:' tug gloves.

DOINGS IN SOCIETY

WEEK'S SOCIAL CALENDAR. Thursday. German Reformed Aid. Mrs Ernst Schlickman. Saturday. Social—Henry Krueckeberg home —— YE OLD STYLE DAUGHTER Abe Marin asks; "Who kin remember when a daughter WUZ her mother's greatest asset?" During the past week we listened to a debate on socialism at the chatltaftqua. While wo cannot all agi' l that socialism is The Thing, th' :’<• may be some good points that might well he applied to individual home . Among them is a more equal division of labor and its rewards. In that respect the "old styl daughter” shone and was an asset to her mother- She long ago created I spirit of "socialism" in the home- She put her shoulder to the wheel a mother was given a chance to re-t now and then, and thus from "social ism" in the home, mother was given i a chance to become a member of the "social" party in the home. The daughter who was an asset to her mother did not strive in "eomiwt tion,” and put all at "sixes and sevens,” but lent herself in ”co-o]>ein tion” in the home. She learned to brew and to bake, to preserve and pickle, to sew and sweep' to cook and can, to take care of the baby and the other children—she grew up in the home and learned its “ins and outs’’ in detail. When mother was called away the "house wtn on” in the same old way; or when a neighbor, who was not blessed with a daughter, needed help in sickness or care, the daughter was spared to "help out" the neighbor. In many well-regulated families, the work was strictly an portioned, and shifted from time to time, to give each an apportunity to learn and doDoes anybody know one of those old-fashioned daughters? It’ so. pattern after her; you may gain distinc tion in a world now surfeited w itli daughters who are "liabilities" instead of assets. Mrs. H H. Bremerkamp and daught er, Stella, were entertained at the heme of Mr. and Mrs. Sebastian Kleber in Fort Wayne.
