Henry Thomas has a sermon in today's paper that is worth reading ami there is more in it than just an ordi nary advertisement. It’s the right spirit and if we had more ui it In Decatur we would all be more prosperous and happier. Read it and then join his "keep the money at home club.” The war between the United States and Mexico is over before it was be gun. Huerta was alad to meet the de mauds of lids nation realizing n>> weakness against such a force and re alixing too. no doubt the fact that hr was in bad. It's a little tough on th< republican papers which had prepared stinging editorials on how the presi dent had plunged this nation into a bloody war. but some how or other that man. President Wilson, seems to know all the time just what he is do ing and why he is doing it. Republican papers are now printing the list of men who will be 1 nominated at the Repuoncan convention next ’ week. They call this a prediction bu you will remember that a few ween ago when they guessed on the demo cratic nominations they called it t “slate." The truth is of course that ’ they are coaxing men to become cand idates and any body can have the p'„*. ( es who want them. It don't requirt , any slate. All they have to do is t< find some fellow willing to make th< 1 sacrifice for the advertising he wil get out of it. t Os course it is to be hoped that » , shall be able to keep out of Mexico The prompt action of an adiuinistra tion which has stood so firmly against j intervention shows how much men serious than the killing of individual Americans and the destruction ol - American property, is this direct issault on the nation's sovereignty, ir a small way it Is like the blowing ut of the Maine. But the people are not , excited, and will not be likely to turn jingo all at once. There ought to b< t some solution of the problem tbut will still avoid anything like Intervention ( The doubtful factor is Huerta. —Indi , anapolis News. » A man named Jacob t’oxey with 100 hoboes left Massillon yesterday co his march against the capital of the United Slates and the fact was Biadi the leading story in such papers «» 1 the Fort Wayne News.
