Entered at th e postoffice in Becatur, ’ndlana, as second class matter. The uduiiuistratiou of city affairs i.i Decatur is a record that vve feel proud of and we believe the people Os Decatur are satisfied therewith. Eight years ago when the democrats took charge of the government, they faced an almost bankrupt treasury, with an almost untold and uncounted number of floating orders, judgments, no credit, a total debt of al>out $130,000. and a tax levy too small to meet the running exi>enses at the ra'e they h n *l been going. Almost immediately there came a turn tor the better and this has been kept up until today we have a credit that is accepted anywhere, a cleaner, better city, a municipal plant that is a credit t*> any mulelpalUj, and a debt that is below the two per cent limit and well unde.' control. It means a reduced tax rate ;.nd one of the b-’st towns in the state. One of the men who helped to a great extent to do these things is Char!** N. Christen, now a candidate for nineor. and accepted as one splendid!' qualified for the job. Another is .’a cob Martin, candidate for ccuncilmati at large. Assisted by Fred Linn, Pt ter Kirsch. .lames Hurst and L. L. I Baumgartner and by Huber DeVosb as clerk and Joe McFarland as treas | user, they will give Decatur a contin ued era of good government, improved conditions, that will aid us to go forward. There are many reason* why thest* men should serve you ami there are none but partisan reasons wliy they should not The democrat!<• ticket is acceptable to the majority of voters i.i Decatur.and the statement wiil be proven ou November 4th. The Herald wants a coalition th k ct .whatever that is, rut in the field. t.nd argues that the democratic partis in sore straits, just in such shap" that a ticket composed of democrat" t epublicans and bull moosers could give them battle. We have senv doubts about it. In the first place a democrat will scarcely connect him I elf with a party bearing such a tit!*' Ind then there la no reason in the vorld why he should not support the ticket of splendid men nominated a' the democratic primary last Tuesday. Again if an organisation composed of men from these three parties Is Evade on the suggestion of the Herald we fear there would be just a suspicion that there was some g. o. p. politics back of it somewhere. Nope. It takes some other <io|iv than this, ano the democrats will scarcely assist the

republicans and bull nioosers to patch up their vine-dad cottage. At least we have the admission that the men nominated by the democrats are all good citizens. As good citizens are necessary to make good officers they at least have a good start in tlie campaign. Os course there are other good citizens, but they are not candidates for these offices and perhaps they never will be. The sugar beet harvest is on ami the wagons are coming in loaded down with a crop that was unknown here a few years ago. it brings more money to the community and help* many people. Then, too. the factory, will open next week, employing a large force of men .presenting a busy scene and adding to the city and < ounty in various other ways. ■MMMWMMWWMBaMMMSk We still have in mind the man who offers to employ twenty-five men. if aided to the extent of about SI,OOO, and as soon as arrangements have been concluded we will have more to say about it. it s a good thing and Decatur cannot afford to pass it up. There are a number of business transitions on, which if consummated as now seems probable, will niak the next year the best ever known in Decatur. A little boosting will help like the dickens. A boys’ home in Decatur would 1 a great improvement, and an investment from which this community would reap dividends for a century to come Good boys make good men.

Owing to the fact that one member of the Berne Indies' quartet could not be present, the greater part of the chor us music was given by the Decatur Ladies’ quartet.

NEW LANGUAGE HAS EVOLVED Americans in the Philippines Have Departed In Large Measure From Familiar Tongue. Fifteen years ago the American flag first floated over a Malay archipelago in the far Pacific. Spanish was the current speech among the upper classes there. The common people spoke a dozen different dialects —unintelligible □no to the other. We came, saw and posseseed, and, shortly atfer the flag, boatloads of teachers arrived with the school books xnd pedagogy of the west. The teachers brought American literature with them. They brought American songs, American games, American ideas and American ideals—*nd they brought the American mauler of speech. Meanwhile a reflex action was quietly at work. Without realizing it the new-comers were being influenced by ’he new land and the new people. New methods of living were enforced on the Americans. Their rules of health did not always apply. Day tfter day they were surrounded by people observing strange customs, following a totally different moral code uid speaking an unfamiliar tongue. Gradually the customs became less strange, the moral code less different snd the tongue less unfamiliar. While endeavoring to establish their ways ■nd methods, the Americans unconsciously were yielding to the ways and Methods of the country. Many things of great value in the >ld order had no place in the new. In particular the old manner of speech rften failed to convey the meaning inended. The Americans daily encountered :hings they had no names for. They met conditions which could not be apty described In their own tongue. The FiMpifio obligingly furnished the name >r exnression from come one of his vernaculars and it passed into the current speech of the American. Then certain officials, trades, articles >f clothing and food that had names in English would be repeatedly referred o by the Filipinos in their own diaect when they talked with their teachers. Gradually the teachers came to tse the same expressions. Wa have been a separate nation rom idugland for over 100 years and >ur Americans have teen in the Philpplnes only 15. Yet the languag ■ ;poken by Americans differs morn rom United States English than doer, the English of London.—American Review of Reviews. Plants Have Mother Principle. The-e is a mother principle alive in *ll nature which never dies. This is different from the mother instinct, the mother passion. The oak and the imoeba respond to the mother princlole. it Is a law of life: it is one of the constants of being. The mother •nstinct or passion, on the other hand.

Coverdale nt the home of the latter, was the 6 o’clock dinner and five hundred party of last evening. The Coverdale home, with its warmth and light, and the red glow of the autumnal foliage and lu rries, was a cheery ■ place in contract to the gloom without. Tables for forty guests were I provided and during the dinner hours ; from six to eight, Tony Holtbouse, violinist, and Ralph Moser, pianist, dispensed very good music, both being musicians of rare ability.
