They have away of being very much for or against the things they personally favor and every one in Indiana knows that they l|ave a grudge against the democratic leader. To many readers of the news it may have appeared that the recent meeting of the progressives at Indianapolis was a fisxle and that the anti Taggart meeting was a rouser. The truth is that the bull moosers had a most sue cessful session and the antis' meeting was a little gathering of about a dozen dissatisfied office seekers. Well, it's here. The new year arrived on schedule time and with noise enough to prove its arrival. Old thir teen has gone and those who believed in hoodoos may now rest easy. Have you made any resolutions for the year? It's a good time to start in to boost. Somehow or other we have the feeling that this is to be the best year D»catur ever had and we know it will be if everybody just helps a little. The new year starts off promising. Everywhere there is a feeling of optl mism and the big business interests are already preparing for a great year. There is a general support of President Wilson and his administration and we should all make great progress-' in 1914. But to do it. you must no! lose any time. Get busy at once. Keep busy. Tlie new city administration beginnext Monday, excepting Joe McFarland, who entered upon his duties today. Mayor Christen has announced his appointments including Harruft for engineer. .Melchi for marshal Chronister for street commissioner Wemhoff for fire chief. Dr. Costello for health officer.
