Entered at the postoffice in Decatur, Indiana, as second class matter. The more carefully the results of the municipal elections iu this state are considered the more apparent Is it that the democrats achieved an overwhelming victory. In no sense is this said in a spirit of partisan boasting, it | is true that the old republican party is divided into irreconcilable factions but it is also true that in city and town elections, which concern ques ; tions of local government only, there has always been manifest a spirit of | independence which has disregarded I party lines. At no time in the history of the state, perhaps, was this spirit more strongly appealed to than in the recent elections. Voters were told that no political or party questions were involved and that the only thing to be considered was the local welfare, I And when the voting was over it was found that the democratic candidates 1 had been chosen almost everywhere in I the state. No greater compliment : than this could possibly have been paid to any political party. It is proof that the democratic party, under the present superb leadership in both na I tion and state, has the confidence of the people. Mr. Chronister has long carried ’ 1 the title of “sidewalk specialist." 1 1 which explains his efficiency.— 1 1 The Herald. I We can understand how and why a : 1 newspaper attacks candidates during the heat of a campaign, but we do not i understand wny any paper should see ■ how ugly they can talk about a citi- , sen after an election is over. Mr. i Chronister has lived in Decatur a ' good many years and has a large number of friends who know he is all right. No one who has known him ,

' during his busy years since he has - grown to manhood can truthfully ack cuse him of being a "sidewalk spec- ; ialist” if the humorist who used the f term means by that a "loafer." The fact remains that he is splendidly qualified to be street commissioner. He will receive the appointment and will serve with credit, whether he suits the 1 Herald or not, strange as it may seem. I - 1 It seems to be clear that the princi pal obstacle interposed against PresiI dent Wilson’s plans for the solution of the Mexican problem has been set up by Groat Gritaln. The English gov eminent has upheld the hands of the butcher Huerta—the red-handed dicta- ' tor that the United States government i refuses to recognize. When they are in trouble, or are expecting trouble, the English talk much about "hands across the pea” and "blood is thicker than water,” but it is all tommy-rot. i They have made more trouble for us than all of the other nations of the world put together.
