Entered at the postoffice la Decatur, «ndiana, as second class matter. An old school republican in an article in the Chicago Record-Herald sires up the political situation in the following manner: “Nationally speaking,” he said, “there is nothing to it but Woodrow Wilson. I’ve been a republican all my life and have been in politics ever since I began to vote, but take it from me there are many like me, who see what the Wilson administration is doing and say: ‘Good boy! Keep It up.’ Believe me, if the president keeps on going as he has so far, there will be no use for the republicans to put up a candidate next time, for the reason that you’ll find republicans whooping It up for Wilson—not as a democrat or as the nominee of a political party, but as the man who has taken hold of the vexatious problems that confront this country and is applying his solution.” The name of Congressman Barnhart of the Thirteenth district is frequently mentioned in connection wltn< the democratic nomination for gov ernor of Indiana in 1916. Another ' congressman who is receiving favor-1 able mention for the honor Is John A. M. Adair of Portland. The party will make no mistake by honoring either of these energetic and progressive democrats. They are men of pronounced convictions and courage, and they have the necessary experiem q in public life to fill the office of governor ably and well.—Columbia City Post. The Daily Democrat is observing this month the celebration of Its elev-| enth anniversary. The Weekly Democrat was established more than fifty a century ago and lived a long and useful life. The dally paper came as a result of modern progressiveness on the part of the people of Adams county and it has come to stay. Our read i era would not go back to a weekly! newspaper. They have helped us to make the Daily Democrat a sound business proposition and we take de 1 light each year in celebrating our' birthday. It is now Mayor Christen. He as- j sumed his new official position at noon today. Four years of opportunity to serve the people of his home city are before him. Associated with him are men whom we believe well qualified and we feel confident that the citizens of this fair city have not ■■■in —^ai—

At last there has been produced an undisputably American opera, “The I Sun Dance,” written by Zitkala Sa, a I full-blooded Sioux Indian, the wife of | Mr. R. T. Bonnin, an employe of the [ government on the Uintah Indian res ervation at Vernal. Utah, collaborating with Professor W. Hanson. The . opera, which was recently given at the academy on the reservation, tells the story of the return of the sun from its death during the winter, of 1 the kindliness of its light and warmth 1 as it falls on the earth, of the plants and the trees that spring forth and grow undPr its rays, and of the whole 1 world rejoicing in the sunshine. For years Professor Hansen had witnessed the annual sun dance of the In ’ dians, had watched the rhythmic i shuffling of their feet, the posturing , of their bodies, in the historic pantomime that had come down to them from their forefathers, who danced 1 the dance in the same fashion long 1 before the white man appeared. . . < Mrs. Oillie Chronister, Mrs. Earl Butler and Mrs. John Meyers will en tertain the Pythian Needle club Tues 8 day afternoon at two o'clock at the s Pythian Home.
