Entered at the postoffice in Decatur, President Huerta of Mexico says he won't resign and further that he will positively not stand for any intervention from other nations. Well, now, lu, may have to do something one of these fine days. It is to the credit of tile assessors

o£ Adams counuty that the state board made no changes in their report of assessed valuations. Adams county followed the instructions from the state board and as a result received the praise of that body. Twentyfive counties failed to do this and the valuations were changed by the state board. An Indianapolis banker admits that the new currency law as proposed by the democratic senate would give to the United States the best financial svstem in the world, and still he don’t want his name used. That rope around) his neck with the other end stretch 1 tag clear across to Wall street must be one of steel, but it is about to snap, notwithstanding the vigorous fight being made by Wall street bankers. Edward Peyson Weston walked irom New York to Minneapolis, over fifteen hundred miles, completing the task Saturday. He is seventy-five years old and has not lived in vain, having proven beyond successful contradiction, that the walking exercise is a good one, a real one, a life preserver. The honor shown him as he entered the city of Minneapolis was due himThe soldiers’ monument is to be completed in time for dedication this fall. It is the desire, we are informed, of the veterans, that this be done, that as many as possible of the boys m blue may take part. We owe them our hearty co-operation toward making It the biggest day ever known in Decatur. It is an occasion when patriotism will bo borne in the hearts of our youth, besides being an occasion when we pay tribute to these men who fought lor us in the sixties. It is probable. that Governor Ralston and his : taff will be here and the occasion promises to be one that we will r * , member during our lives. Did it ever occur to you that the big independent boom at Fort Wayne end South Bend and Marion and til other cities is a political movement.’ more than anything else? For a good many years the republicans haw been eating the pic in these cities as j veil as in the state and nation and) now that they sec that pie falling into. the hands of the democrats, they suddi nly discover the fact that cities, should bo run by nun partisan offi | dais. In the first place such a tiling is impossible and in the te<ond its queer that this wonderful means of conducting business of cities should ) just now be found. We agree that i

! the very best men should be selected | lor the offices, but we believe there | | .’.re just as many good men in the : democratic party as there are in the republican party, that they tire just! i as capable of conducting the affairs )of city government, ami that these i independent movements would soon | | I Hatten out if the republicans were to j i come into power. Can you imagine i II the Fort Wayne News backing a dem ! j ocrat under anw other conditions? 1 li's a compromise by which they hope 1 to secure some of the offices and they , don't care any more about the com- > mon people thafi they have hereto- < • fore. Weston’s Walk Ended In Glory I (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) was witnessed by an Immense throng. The ovation was continuous from the

start of today's walk. Promptly at 12: 1"> Weston held the mortar on the cornerstone of the new > ciub building, which is to be a four-! teen-story affairGovernor A. O. Eberhart walked with the pedestrian from the starting place in St Paul to the city limits, i Mayor Wallace G. Nye of Minneapolis met the party at Midway, walking! part of the way into the city. Daniel) Richter, a Minneapolis newspaper man, who joined Weston at Chicago, continued the trip and walked contin-1 uously in company witli the latter until the journey was completed at the I site of the club house. Mule Is Missing — I (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) the mule were goten out by Sheriff j Durkin and sent to officials of nearby! | counties to enlist aid m the search ot j I the mule.

This Indianapolis banker filled me so full of the worth, merit and need of this currency legislation, that I am more than ever ini- ) pressed with the fact that this coun- . j try needs reform of the currency riore than it needs reform of the tariff, and God knows tiie tariff can stand ; seme good thick imrtag- — 'I he state tax board completed its third session Monday. Alter giving ! tweuty-fiie counties in the state an .'exhibition of their autocratic power, . i they adjourned. These twenty-five , counties were given substantial , I oosts in their assessments as re- ) turned on personal property, and the j auditors in those counties will doubt- ' less soon lie committing the state I board to the regions where one hun- , dred in the shade will seem cool and comfortable. It is said to have been | tiie first time that a state taxing | board ever disturbed the returns of i any county, and this fact adds to tiie ' gayety of tile situation. In defense of the board it can lie'truthfully said—- ■ excluding one member -that they ! were actuated by no other motive than to justly and fairly equalize values in the state They talked and they preached this to every taxing j officer in tiie state, and they sounded the warning as to what would happen if the county taxing officers in any v ay lulled to comply with the orders ot the state board. The state board made good their word and as a result she state of Indiana has the most eipiitalile taxable valuation it has ever had. To the credit of Adams county their returns were unchanged, and it is tiie impression of tiie state hoard that is is one of th<‘ best as- , fessed counties in Hie Stute. L. G. E.
