While the average citizen likes the excitement ot war times, we do not believe the men of America whnt to Bee this nation plunged into a bloody conflict with Mexico if it can be avoid Cd. Tiie public generally will endorse the brave, high minded, splendid course being pursued by Presiden’ Wilson and his assistants. War mu t i?t? ill© resort In the rush of war affairs and other questions of such mighty importance. ( the fact that next week is the date ■ for the general clean up in Decatur. eliould not be over looked, Lets i

brighten up the old town, and in this connection don't forget the fronts of the business houses. A coat of paint or a new awnlug or a new sign woi make the main streets look different, more attractive and help wonderfully. One of the big men who has shown bis bigness in the present Mexican affair, is Senator Benjamin Shiveky ot Indiana, chairman ot the committee on foreign relations. In discussing tae resolution for declaring war. Mr. Shiveley said: ‘it is never too late to declare war, but it may easily become too late to preserve peace-." Senator fshiveley lias proven his worth in this I Instance as in all others where he lias I been called to .serve, as yet. why we should declare —as I that a state of war exists with Mexk r. I It would be well to remember diet I there are men in this country who I hope to make untold millions out of I the war that they are preaching in the I name of patriotism. What they wi . I is war, followed by annexation. Ai-1 ready men are raising the cry, "on to the isthmus." The American people, fortunately, are still hopeful that there I will be no war. Their wish is timt I Mexico should enjoy peace and pros-1 government of its own. Nothing nu.y I come of the friendly action of the I South American powers. But it is net! impossible that they may be able to I save this country and Mexico from |

■ I the calamity of war. The President is ■' to be commended for his refusal to I rush an army to Mexico City, ot to .[send soldiers across the northern b<>r- ’ j der of the republic. The delay may yet i save us from the sad alternative of I war —Indianapolis News. But President Wilson and the heads [of his departments have been relucI tant to actually declare war They Lave sought to maintain peace so long its is compatible with honor, in accepting the friendly offices of the South American republics there is no I thought of surrendering eue jot of the I nation's honor, no idea of lowering its dignity. The whole motive is the pre- ■ ventibn ot needless bloodshed and the j

■ useless expenditure ot public money. If satistactorory apology and repara- , tlon tor past indignities can be [brought about through the mediation of other powers and without entailing ' ihe horros of war, no person, actuatI i-d by motives of humanity, can raise 'his voice in fault. If only war will bripg about the results sought, war it will be and the administration will , be found lending every energy to the ' success of our forces on sea and land. 1 . —Ft.

Some Sore Spots (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) mentary observation may not be made about the platform," he said, aft complimenting the ticket. He says that on national Issues it is sound but he speaks of the rest of the platform as being too much of an argument too ong and wearisome. He is particularly sore over the plank favoring a constitutional convention. He said that one member of the committee on resolutions actually favored the plank but that it was idopted in deference to the wishes of he state chairman thereby putting the anomalous position of committing the party to a policy to which the committee itself is opposed. Sefrit says that in his opinion the declaration favoring i constitutional convention doai not epresent the sentiment of the party iny more than it represented the seutraent of the committe and that it Is wt binding on the members ot the party. He says that it will not be in•onsistent with party regularity to re>udiate the constitutional convention plank. "The better a Republican a man is, he more likely he will be to vote ■■gainst the constitutional convention," ;ays Sefrit. All of which shows that the Repubicans are not as progressive as they ire trying to make the Bull Moosers believe. Sefrit is one of the leading iepublican editors of Indiana and he las a very large following.

The Republicans are not well satisied over their choice of a candidate or the U. S. Senate. Miller made his naiden speech at the Fifth district ongressional convention at Greencaale today. He was a good presiding officer in the state Senate. He carried >ut the wishes of the Hanly organizaion and helped to put across the ounty local option law at the special session of the legislature in 1907 but le is not the kind of a campaigner who will stir up enthusiasm for his . icket. The Tenth district Republicans statsi emphatically at the ccaveftllon that Miller would lose the party a lot of .otes in latke county which formerly vas a Republican strong-hold. The temocratlc leaders generally are con'idePt that Beveridge will run ahead >f Miller. One bet of 11.000 to V.OOO hat Beveridge will run ahead of Miler was offered here today—with no akers although the Republicans are rying to make it appear that practicaly all of the Bull Moosers with the xeeption of a few of Beveridge's per onal followers liave returned to the Republican ranks. The general impression here is that leveridge will run far ahead of Miller, .leveridge's friends say that It la a hunired to one that Beveridge will beat Miller. A meeting of the Bull Moose leaders will be held here this week to make .rrangements for carrying on an ex'.enstve plan for party organisation. Beveridge has entered Into the campaign more vigorously than ever before. He will give all of his time to ndiana this year. He hag made a trip through two or hree northern Indiana counties since te was nominated for the Senate and he says that the conditions he found -nude him feel that the Republicans 're including in aEO9INfoal r.-frn re indulging tn a lot of 'pipe dreams' ■when they represent that the Prugree■ivea are going to vtite the Republican iteket Beveridge doesn't intend to take any thing for granted this time. He l» havng tickets nominated in every cuuuly a that the organization will be built from the ground up.
