Entered at the postoffice in Decatur, Indiana, as second-class matter. Freni information now at hand it looks as though Jim A. Hendricks would continue to look after the roads of Adams county. There was considerable indignation among farmers and others when it was published that the law to do away with the office of road superintendent had slipped through!, the legislature. Any person who wants to be fair and who tried the

roads of Adams county the past year will admit that the roads were kept in the best condition in the history of improved roads in this county. Jim Hendricks did it and he deserves credit for it, and he did it, too, at a very low cost. I, , JBg We knew’ it; we knew it all the time that the Indianapolis News, when the session of the legislature ended, would not be satisfied, and in its Tuesday’s issue it says so. To be sure, it admits that the Taggart “machine” failed to run the legislature, that many vicious measures were defeated, that the compulsory primary law “lias the appearance of being an excellent measure,” that there was also a simplified registration law as a companion piece to the primary law, the workmen’s compensation law and the anti-lobby law —all good laws, the

Sun. f ® essgam Small conducted a meeting at Portland for the anti saloon league : and took a rap at Congressman Adair. That gentleman happened to be present and took occasion to tell Rev. i , Small he was not telling things in a i lair manner and asked for a square deal. The set-to was real lively for a while, but it is safe to say that the famous lecturer put nothing over on the congressman. Mr. Adair said he voted against the Hobson bill because he did not believe it a good bill, but he announced to Mr. Small that he would always stand for temperance and for any bill he believed would aid in the cause. Small said that thirteen brewers and distillers would have voted just as the Indiana congressmen did. Mr. Adair told him that the Hobsou bill did not seek to prevent the manufacture of liquor, but simply the sale. Adair favors a bill that will do both. Any way it was a hot session
