WILSON AND PROSPERITY: — Vice President Marshall, chatting with newspaper men before leaving for the east this morning, said President Wilson should accept renomination and predicted ills election. “The democratic platform does not bind him to a single term; it merely pledges the party to favor a one-term constitutional amendment,” said Mr. Mar shall. “I think the democratic party has learned to play ball. We regard Wilson as captain of our team. He cannot resist the call that will be made upon him to run again. The republican party is now’ in the position the democratic party once was in—a position of mere opposition to the party hi power. It can agree on no leader. It gets into dangerous wrangles when any man seeks to assert himself. The republicans have not been able to agree on the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill. If the democratic tariff bill makes good, their issues will be gone. The people will not elect a party that has no program but opposition. I think w? will have almost unprecedented prosperity two years from now- and that the nation will be on such a footing as to increase tre people's faith in the efficacy of democratic doctrines. I don’t see what sort of man or issue the republicans can get to make a campaign on unless they take Roosevelt and his policy of nation-wide prohibition.” —Detroit Dispatch. From two to three hundred men. representing this community, will ban quet at the Knights of Pythias home at 6:30 o’clock this evening, it prom ises to be a delightful and entertaining event. The Moose lodge of this city is giving and indoor fair this w-eek and for a laudable purpose—to raise funds for the building of a new home in Decatur. They deserve your support. Such movements aid in building a city. Help these young fellows out and you won't regret it. Secretary of State William J. Bryan is advocating the election of postmasters. He succeeded in having the plan tried out in one Nebraska district this year and it was so satisfactory that it is now predicted that the plan will soon be used all over the United States. This beautiful autumn morning ought to fill every person full of enthusiasm.

for. Yoti will feel more like It / you do something. Get buay. Hustle for your own business and advertise or ail In some one of the many movements now abroad for the betterment of mankind’and the aid of the unfortunate but do something. This is no time for the idler. Decatur merchants should buy an 1 use Red Cross stamps. If you do the campaign being made by the ladies oi the community will be a success as ft deserves to be. Simply taking a lit tie quantity of the little stamps and selling them when called for will not make the returns what they chould be. Use them yourselves and pay fur them. Use plenty of them. Many have argued that the missionary work should begin at home. Here is your chance. If the plans are carried out seventy-five per cent of the money will be retained right here as a fund with which to fight tuberculosis right here in Adams county. It’s an easy way to secure the fund. Use the Christmas stamps. The Laymen's Missionary convention is in progress in this city and the meetings, well attended, have proved most interesting. One thought dis cussed Sunday morning cannot help but make us wonder just where the splendid progress made during the past decade or two will bring us. The fight of centuries in spreading the gospel has culminated in victories during the past two years that until recently seemed impossible. The success in China, Japan, Turkey, Russia and other lands is so wonderful that it is not surprising that the speakers become enthusiastic when telling the story. In our land the turn toward Christianity has been so great that even the younger men of any community cannot help but see the results The fight for better things is being led by strong and brilliant men who realise that the greatest success in this life is to do something really worth while and that means more than simply piling up a fortune —it means better conditions for your fellow man. It is a great work and the men and women of this community have proven their interest by their attendance at the various meetings.

Yet home —’tis like a single star That shines today; Though we are scattered like the leaves The winds have rustled from the trees To drift away. Maybe it’s for Mother’s sake We drop our care —at dawn to wake For this one day; Maybe it is just love of home, Though we perchance, must die alone And far away. E’en though the day be cold and chill, In every breast there is a thrill Os warmth today; A living spark—a tiny gleam Os home, e’en though we do but dream And far away. —Carolyn B. Lyman.
