Entered at the postofflce in Decatur. Indiana, as second-class matter. Get your New Year’s day resolution out and shine it up for use next Friday. It's the day after Christmas and from all reports it was a merry Christmas for Decatur people. The federal grand jury has indicted forty-six Terre Haute men for election frauds and they will find that when they get through with District Attorney Frank Dailey that they have been up against the real thing. The campaign for the sale of Red Cross seals will continue in Adams county until New Year’s and the ladies in charge will appreciate a finish that will make the record in this county complete. They feel that the people here have more than done their share and they are grateful but would also like to dispose of the rest of the seals on hands if possible. Use the seals on your New Year’s cards. The city council will probably have a report on the proposition to take into the corporation the factory lands at the next meeting early in January. We believe the people of Decatur understand the question and that a large majority of them favor the committee which made a promise in good faith. That promise should be kept and the council should see that it is kept. We believe they will. Yes, we failed to that present for a boys’ and girls’ gymnasium in the Decatur stocking, but it is not too late yet. The gift will be appreciated at any time when it is most convenient to the donor. At that there are twenty men in the city who could give such a present and build for themselves a monument that would cause their, names to be mentioned with reverence for a century to come. Decatur merchants did a dandy holiday business, according to all reports. They used the columns of the Daily Democrat and the results were more than we claimed they would be. The merchants here appreciate the fact that the Daily Democrat reaches every nook and corner of this county and much surrounding community. The three thousand papers, printed each evening are read by more than fifeen thousand people. There is no reason why your message should not go to each of these eople each evening when you can send it for the very small sum that an advertisement in this paper costs. Keep it up and see the difference in your total business. The time is at hand for you to figure out your appropriation for next year’s advertising. We hope you will include a liberal amount for the Daily Democrat, firmly believing that you will be more than repaid and more than pleased. William Jennings Bryan has declared himself fairly and squarely on the questions of prohibition and woman suffrage. He is in favor of both, but opposed to the proposition of amending the constitution of ths United States with that end in view. He holds that the determination of these questions is a matter for the states and not for the United States. In other words Mr. Bryan wants states that favor prohibition and woman suffrage to have the same instead of forcing one or both upon states that are not inclined that way. Amending the constitution for the purpose indicated would mean the practical annulment of state authority over these questions. Without giving the matter much thought it jpay be observed that Mr Bryan

> stands upon solid ground. This ■ doesn't mean, however, that noth- ’ Ing remains to be said on the other . side of the proposition.—Goshen Demf i ocrat.

THE COW NEWS Warren Wilkinson Arrested! on Two Charges of Forgery—Pleads Guilty TO ONE CHARGE The Gerke Injunction Suit Submitted — Marriage License Issued. Warren Wilkinson was arrested at Lima, Ohio, yesterday at 11 o’clock by the chief of police, on two charges of forgery filed in the Adams circuit court. Deputy Sheriff Jesse Kelly went to Lima and brought him here last night and placed him in jail. This morning he was brought into corn, and pleaded guilty to one charge. No action was taken further than this. He pleaded guilty to making, forging and passing a counterfeit check for $4.50, signed by an alleged C. L. Carroll. This was cashed by Jeff Klopfenstein, the Preble saloonist. In the other charge the check was for $8.50, signed by an alleged John Baumgart. This was caused by William Jaebker, the Preble merchant. Both were cash'ed on the same day, Thursday, December 17. The officials were noti--1 fled December 19 and December 22, , respectively, when the checks were found to be forged and counterfeit. Wilkinson had skipped out after cashing them. The injunction case of Emma Gerke . vs. Sheriff T. J. Durkin was submitted to the court. Katharine Bolds, administratrix of ■ the estate of Elizabeth Cully, filed notice of insolvency. Her final report was also filed and approved and the administratrix discharged. A marriage license was issued to ’ Wilbur Guy Brown, teacher, born Oc-' ■ tober 30, 1893, son of Samuel E. Brown, to wed Gertrude Elzone Butler, born October 17, 1894, daughter of J. M. Butler. The ceremony was performed Christmas Eve by Rev. Stephenson at the Methodist parsonage. A HOMECOMING Pleasant Mills Schools Preparing for Big Time on New Year’s Day.
