Entered at the postofflco in Decatur, Indiana, as second-class matter. And Incidentally we wish some one would tell Mr. Honeywell how badly we need a boys' and girls' city, a Y. M. C. A., or something or the kind. -Perhaps he could help us get it. The good steamer Evelyn struck a mine off the German coast and went down, the crew being saved. The boat was an American ship, hound for Germany, and there is no indication but that the occurrence was an assider.t. Nevertheless it calls to mind the fact that we are dangerously near a climax that may mean war. American people should remember that it is to our greatest good to remain neutral ami to avoid war with its terrible results if possible. The Daily Democrat has always made an effort to cover the news held, to tell our readers just what is going on. We shall try our best to do this concerning the revival meetings now in progress at the taberna< le and we shall try to cover it from a news standpoint. No difference whether you are in sympathy with the movement or not, you will be interested in knowing what is going on there and our duty as we see it is to give you that information. It means some effort on our part and we hope , and believe that effort will be duly appreciated by every reader. The people of this community welcome to our midst Rev. Honeywell and his assistants, who for a period of five weeks are to fight sin and to pray and work for the betterment jf this city and county and the people who make it. The cause is a worthy one, the purpose noble, and men and , women of every faith, even those who have none, will give them what assistance they can. The opening services Sunday, with every seat taken, and a fair amount of enthusiasm was proof that the meetings will be a success. As stated by the evangelist a revival means an increase in religious interest and this is often times need ed even among those who claim to #e devout church members. One cannot attend these services, hear the wonderful singing by a choir of one hundred and fifty voices, listen to

■> the pointed remarks and the eloquent pleading of Rev. Honeywell end his * assistants without admitting that live weeks of such work is bound to bring I good results. We do not believe Decatur the worst city tn the world, tn fact we are firm in the opinion that : it is much better than the average, but even at that we realize there is , room, much room for improvement, i The evangelistic party will do their ; .part of the work. It depends great--1 ly upon the response and the aid of our people as to what real results v ill be. It's up to you. 8 DOINGS IN SOCIETY I WEEK’S SOCIAL CALENDAR Tuc i.y.

Those who have ' made things for the bazaar should bring them Tuesday and things for the pastry sale should be taken Wednesday morning to the home. The home of Doyt McCrory on Wc st Mcnroe street was thrown open with a warm welcome to the hembers of the junior class on Saturday evening, in the form of an evening dress party. Forgetting the trials and cares of the unhappy school boy or girl, everybody joined hands and with a true class spirit, a good sociable time followed. There happens to be a feeling of envy or jeolousy somewhere among 1 the different classes of the high school ' and during the evening members of the remaining classes attempted to 1 entertain the juniors by a well planned series of acrobatical maneuvers on the rear and front porches, ending the same by abducting a cake that had been- soaked and doped for no 1 other purpose that that which befell 1 it. During the evening a delicious 1 luncheon was served, consisting of Ice cream, cake and grape juice. The juniors were pleased to have for their 1 guests the Misses Margaret Slride 1 and Doris Watson of Montpelier, who were spending Saturday and Sunday 1 withh Miss Bachelor.. The Misses 1 Schrock. Bachelor and Cravens were 1 the faculty guests present, from whom came reports of very good behavior on the part of the juniors.

C. 1 Volmer home in honor of Miss Pearl > Gerwig, whose marriage to Mr. Loyal S. Woods of Decatur will take place 1 next week. Miss Gerwig has been a member of the class for some time 1 and has taken an active part in the 1 work and will be greatly missed by * the teacher, Mrs. D. A. Walmer, and her class. The affair was a miscellaneous shower and the bride-eledt received many handsome and useful presents.” c At the Reformed parsonage on Wa- p bash street took place the marriage ' at eleven o’clock this forenoon of a Miss Sarah Tonner. daughter of Mr. ’ and Mrs. Jacob Tonner, and Mr. Dan- 1 iel Kehrn, a son of Mr. and Mrs. John ' Kehrn, the Rev.

TWO ARE ARRESTED On Notice of the Portland Police Charging Them With Adultery. That Elsie Straub likes “the Choilies” is Inferred from the fact that her husband’s name Is Charles Straub and that she is alleged to have run away to Portland with her husban i's uncle, Charles Straub, better known as “Simmie” Straub. A message came this afternoon from the Pert land police stating that they had been there and that a charge of adultery had been filed against them. This morning they slipped outof Portland before the officials could get then. Deputy Sheriff L. D. Jacobs and Chief of Police Melchi traced them down here and the couple was arrested at the quarters of Mrs. Alice Harmon, who lives on the off-set street at the rear of the Monroe street river feed yard. They were taken to jail. The young woman’s husband figured re cently in a case of assault and battery against his wife. — o GREAT VICTORY (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) prisals against the German policy oi destroying British and neutral merchantmen without warning or attempting to save civilian members cl the crew.” o — URGED TO PASS MEASURE.

THAT STATE LOAN I (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) litical party, and that in principal they are a snare And a delusion. lae writer doubts whethar a partial i-ri-mary will satisfy any one who has any views upon this much-discussed public question. The legislative majority had betjer enact into la * a primary that embraces the nomina Hon of every pffleers in the state, or else they had better enact no primary at all. It would be better to face the question squarely. There Is plenty of argument upon both sides of the pri mary, and plenty of reasons to take 1 a position one way or the other. As the days of this session can now easily be counted, the fate of any primaly legislation is in doubt. All thp sports who have been capp ing around the capital hoping n.id praying for the passage of the racing bill, have quietly folded their tents and departed. Governor Ralston’s declaration closed all possibilities of such legislation and those interested had the. good sense to see the handwriting on the wall, and like a true sport, they smiled and gave up the ghost. — o — COURT HOUSE NEWS. A ten thousand dollar 'damage ca.-e from Huntington began trial this morning before a jury in the circuit court here, being venued here. The plaintiff is adelbert Sparrow, who demans ten thousand dollars from the Erie Stone company, for injuries sustained January 17, 1914. when he was in the employ of the company.

Krieg & Sapp, Lesh & Lesh are the foreign attorneys. Heller, Sutton & Heller are local attorneys for the plaintiff, and Peterson & Moran for the defense. In the estate of Susan House, all inheritance tax vouchers were filed and the administrator was discharged. Annie Andrews, administratrix of the estate of Caleb Andrews, filed a petition to sell real estate and sum* mons was ordered returnable March 6th. Sheriff Green arrived from Adrian. Mich., this afternoon with Jesse Freese, arrested for fraudulent check issuance.
