Entered at the postoffice tn Decatur, Indiana, as second class matter. Huntington had a business men's celebration today and it is said to have been wonderfully successful, the streets being packed with people, the crowd estimated at 20,000. They do things over there and keep at It. Decatur business men will make'a united effort to bring business to this city on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of next week, each offering some special inducement or reason. Jt ought to be and we believe will be a great big success. Decatur has as vne stores as can be found any where Our merchants are good buyers aud they operate at less expense than the jlf.g city merchant. It Is therefore reasonable to believe that they can really offer better bargains than can merchants elsewhere. Trade in Deca tur and bring your friends with you It will pay and you will enjoy It. President Wilson is right when hr says that the causes of business de pfession are mainly psychological. Mt n have talked hard times until they have come to believe in hard time*, and a belief in hard times means ha-d times. Confidence and credit are th< life-blood of business, and confidence and credit can be talked away as easily as a woman's reputation. So far as govqjpment is concerned, it has been many years since honest business was subjected to so few legis lative and administrative reprisals. It has been many years since business confronted so small a measure of un certainty, The tariff is out of the way The banking and currency question is settled to the general satisfaction ot the country. The proposals for new legislation affecting commerce and in austry are in no sense radical, nor need they disturb the ordinary cur rents of business. —New York World. DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE CALL.
