All democrats and all who wish to co-operate with the party are invited to attend the meeting. J. W. BOSSE, Chairman. Tlie cold weather is a little hard on the coal pile, but you can stop worrying about your ice for next summer. Talk about your hand-picked delegates to a convention, you should have seen the process worked at the iceeting of the republican county conVtiiiioii this Bob Tucker, in his Sunday letter to tlie Enquirer, say's that the democrat® will have another walkaway in Indiana this year. He attended the meeting of democratic editors a few days ago and his letter showed the enthn-t-iasm and spirit of that occasion. At the democratic banquet last Thursday evening. W. H. O'Brien, state auditor, gave a splendid talk, showing the true condition of finances in Indiana. The talk complete is to be published this week in all the democratic papers of tlie state and should lie read by every one who wishes to know the real condition of affairs in our state. Banker Henry (Tews, in his weekly letter, bows a graceful acknowledgement. albeit a somewhat belated one, to the fact that President Wilsou. ihus far in his executive career, has made no mistakes in judgment and has shown himself a statesman of the constructive, rather than the detrurtive type, facts that have been patent to the masses for some titn *.

‘ and disasters of all the world within a few hours. The speaker declared that nothing made him madder than : to hear people say that public men of the present day were corrupt. The people's representatives in Washington, he said, were “honest, conscientious servants." Ninety-nine per cent of the men sent to congress, he ad- ': ded, leave poorer than they came, atI though they could acquire fortunes by i stooping to dishonesty. Discussing , i the hardships resulting from having several struggling churches in a single small town. Mr. Clark said he hoped some day to see his own church, the Christian, or Campbellite, and the Baptist, one great denomination. Their beliefs, he said, were near enough the same to warrant them in joining hands. CHURCH BURNED

| HAVE YOU CHILDREN The thrifty, .aving boy and girl is more likely to l;e a good boy and a good girl, and to grow into a clean, healthy. noble manhood and womanhood, than the spendthritt. Many a mother's heart has been broken by a spendthrift mild, while few mothers hearts have ever been broken by the boy and girl who has learned to be thrifty.
