The republican state convention will be held April 23rd and 24th. It is reported in a dispatch that there are four eanotdates for the senatorial nomination. The fight for places on the republican state ticket this year will not be very exciting as there are too many counties where, as here, they are not planning to even put a county ticket up. Business is opening in this city and all over the country. Not only Mr. Carnegie but also Mr. Hill and all the other great financiers agree that the year and tiiose to come are to be the greatest ever known in this J country, notwithstanding the efforts of the pessimists and the politicians to have it otherwise. Already fears > are being expressed that there will: not be enough men for all the jobs. We are reliably informed by a well known resident of Decatur that he owns a six-room residence in Decatur which was vacated last Friday and that between that time and last evening exactly ten peapie had tried to rent it. Certainly the condition in De catur is excellent and with a little boosting instead of his mighty effort to create hard times, the year 1814 would be the best ever known here. | loot's pull together a while. It seems so much more important to us than playing politics. The Berne Witness says the claim I that there is no ring in Adams county

1 reminds them of Mark Hanna's asset-1 j tion that there are no trusts in the country, and that the whole country : laughed. Yet. in the face of all of the I laughter, the Berne Witness supported ■ Murk Hanna and his rottenness and are still advocates of the principles : he stood for. Only a few days ago i they devoted a colum to abusing the J democrats and the tariff law. Now | ( they say that the local democrats who! ( don't join them are beer-sotten. I whiskey-rotten politicians. Go it ’ Fred, we don't know of any better; way to lick this movement than to ' I have you supporting it. ■ Republican papers are making 1 • much ado over the raise in the state| tax levy by the last legislature. It i > was a case of necessity, and even then the state educational, benevo-■ i lent and penal institutions did not get what the managers were asking i for. It was just a case of raising the | 'tux or going out of the educational; business, or abandoning the care nf, the feebleminded, the insane, thel consumptives and the criminals. It, :is tor the support of such institutions I that the greater part of the money I raised by the state tax levy goes, li republican officers were in charge the tax levy for these purposes could not be lowered. And the worst of it is the demand for funds for such in stitutions is going to become greater from year to year, for the number ot j subjects or inmates is ever on the I upgrade.—Columbia City Post. The democratic ring has already liegun to beg for republican votes for the machine candidates next fall. “We need you: I oh! we need you.” is the refrain, "and we'll lie awful good to you hereafter if you will only help us.” The treatment heretofore accorded republicans inspires little confidence in future promises- . Decatur Herald. Now, what are we to believe? In one editorial the Herald insists that itbs independent movement is all deni-; ocratic and in another that the repub I licans ough not to vote for a democrat | under any circumstances. What re ■ course are they to have if they have 1 no ticket? If there are two demo-1 cratic tickets in the field, the repuls i licans and the progressives will prob . ably vote as they please if they vote I It is likely that under such circum 1 stances they wouldn't care whether | they voted at all or not. If the Her I aid insists on supporting this parti.-- 1 ular one that they are boosting there i must be some reason 'for it and there | —■

lis -it is a simple old republican : scheme. They are not fooling any one that we know of. It's too plain. I DOINGS IN SOCIETY I SOCIAL CALENDAR. Tuesday | Christian Brotherhood—Dr. Burt Mangold.

$1 STARTS YOUR SON AND DAUGHTER. We want the children to form good ha bite. People acquire good hab'te at easily at bad onee But | it i* hard to convince seme people I . of the fact. If we succeed In in- < culcatmg the habit of thrift upon the children we will not only give them a competency when they grow up. but we will have given them what •» more—character and industry and thrift. W« want our children to realise that they can no more build a fortune with* out the first dollar than th«y can build a house without the first brick. We want them to rsalite th.-t a dollar tn the bank is worth two in the pocket. We want to teach them as they grew old enough to understand whst money is. to make an invariable rule to get the daily habit of economising. It matters little how small, if It is regular. The ch*d will be delighted at the end of the year to see how much has been accumulated without being mieeed. Then as the years roll on and the habit of thrift become* firmly Ried they will seise the opportunity that surely comes to every man and woman in life.
