Entered at tb e postoffice in Decatur, ' ~Tlie new - currency ‘bill’wlll probably become a law. At least the outlook | at this time as reported to President! Wilson is very enco. aging. Experts ’ 1 elieve it will prove a great law for the people and another star in the Wilson group of things performed Miss Gusta Cramer and her mother, Mrs. Mary Cramer, and Mrs. Samuel Buhler have returned from Portland. 1 ■where they spent Sunday. Mrs. Bryan, wife of the secretary of state, has gone to her home at Lincoln. Nebraska, to look after her annual canning and preserve campaign It s probably unusual for one in her position but the people love ’ her for it. and grant her the right to | put up grape juice is she wants to. There is a disposition on the part, <1 republican papers and all demo-! i ratio papers except the Hearst pub-1 lications. to trust Wilson in dealing with Mexico. It is conceded by all lair minded men that Wilson is broad minded, courageous and fair. It is likewise conceded that he is deliberate and that he does not move in a hurry. He has kept in touch with conditions in Mexico since he was I sworn into office, and before that time even Other countries have recognized the Huerta government, but ’ that does not constitute a good re.i-; son for Wilson to follow suit. When he acts it wili be with full possessi m of the facts in the matter, so nearly as he is able to obtain them, and with a purpose to bring about permanent peace in Mexico. His evident purpose is to bring the factions together on common ground so that when the government is reorganized it wll be permanent. With continual revolution goings on in many of the states, the administration of Huerta can only be called a failure. President Wilson, according to information at hand, is in favor of a new deal all around and is working to that end. —Columbia City Post. CARD nF THANKS.
