It is important that the men s< ected to fill the various places be well qualified. Keep that fact in mind ard insist on men who can do things taking the offices, even though it ri ‘ana a sacrifice to them. They owe It to the community. Washington corresjiondents are s< nding out telegrams showing that ti e currency bill is to have a hard ti ne in the senate. They said tha B. me thing when the bill was in the tit use, but it passed almost unanlmousIj They said the same thing about tl e tariff bill, but it never slipped a < <.g and it's dollars to doughnuts that | ts e president knows just about where: he is at right now.

The Fort Wayne fair is to be con-' timed over Sunday, that to be the bigg' St day of the week and yet there are ti oee who oppose Hosey on the grounds that he will keep the town o.ien. It lias never be-n closed that ■ we know of, though a little grand-1 standing now and then is given much | prominence. The facts are that Fort i Wayne is after the money with might aid main and they grab it. even if they | hive to run their fains on Sunday. The death of Frank Runyon last evc dng a short time after he had leit t’ is city is another reminder that driv-i < s of automobles < annot be too care- * fi 1. Reckless driving is sure to result it an accident and there is danger of i aty person who drive* a car continu- ] t ly, becoming careless. Frank had <■ ten been warned but he felt so sur». t at no injury could come to him that, y • paid no heed Recently the auto--1 obile accidents have become very nur rous and every person who drives a ar should try to be as careful as p «slble. Every time some enterprising Wastah gton correspondent evolves a' s heme in his fertile brain for the I o rating of republican post masters or | f< deral office holders, republican pap rs belch forth with righteous inci gnation at the attempt of the wick- < democrats to emasculate the h aven born civil service law and let it to office a hungry horde of democ ats. The fact is the present administration has been paying comparati ely little attention to the diatribe- j tl m of the spoils, and it is to be said tc their credit that democratic aspirai ts for office have deported tbempdvee in a commendable manner, and i tie awaiting patiently the pleasure of 1 P esident Wilson.

time, and it is probable that efficient men in the departments will be allowed to remain. But there are a lot of hangers-on who should be given their walking papers. They have outlived their usefulness.—Columbia City Post. A little boosting on the part of every citizen of Decatur right now will help make it a better city, will help to make it easier for the laborer, the clerk, the business man, the farmer, and for every one. Then why not do it. The future looks very bright. We believe the fall and winter season will he a prosperous one. We believe next spring will start off briskly aud we believe that the coming year is to be the best in the history of the city. Don't hold back- Do a little boosting yourself. If a hundred people de it, you will be surprised at the effect. We have talked to a number of bus . iness men this week, asking them to compare the business the past three months with that of a year ago and we have not found an instance where there has not been a gain. In some cases the gain is slight, but when you consider that last year several hundred thousand dollars was being spent cn the construction of the sugar factory, the fact that business men are holding even, should be proof that the town is in good condition from a business viewpoint. Lets make it betI ter. _ . —
