Entered at the postoiflce in Decatur, Indiana, as second class matter. It was 104 lu tlie shade at Mumie yesterday and the last saloou weut out there lust Saturday. It is reported that the traction line beween that city and Anderson did a thriving business. There were many shoppers in tne city again today, tuk ! "g advantage of the mid-summer specials offered at the various stores. Tlie salt* continues tomorrow and every merchant is more than pleased. It has undoubtedly been the best advertising investment they

have made in some time. The first test vote on the tolls repeal bill In the senate yesterday resulted 50 to 24, leaving no doubt as to tlie ultimate result. When every body knows how these matters are going to end, we can’t just see why tlie law makers don’t finish their work and go home where its not so hot. How about that play ground fund? Isn't there some one who will be a good fellow and start the subscription off with twenty-five dollars. You won’t miss it and it will bring hours and hours of pleasure to the boys and girls of Decatur. It may save some youth from learning bad habits. Mr. Pinchot is after Mr. Perkins and wants him to get out of the progressive party, at least to quit his place as chairman of the executive comili*.tee.

For the same reason the voters of Indiana will at the elecI lion next November, very probably tie I tide uguiusi a new state house bulbl- > ing at Indianapolis, in celebration of the 100 anniversary of the slates ex latence and at a coat of several million dollars. No on* contends that the old constitution does not need remodeliug. no one says that a new state house would not be a great thing for the state and for Indianapolis, hut what of the cost?
