That man who predicted that, this was to be a season of drouth -s abort as near right as the one who said the European war would end in three months. Diaz, for thirty-five years the presi dent of Mexico and who gave that war torn country the only years of peace they have known in a century, died in Paris last night. He was eightyfive years old ana the last days of his eventful life were spent in exile from his country that he had served so long. Chautauqua in Decatur opens the 13th of this month. If the advance sale of tickets is what it ought to be. the Ladies Improvement Society will secure a hundred or two with which to provide play grounds for the child ren and to beautify the city. You save money by buying now. Why don't you? The city mayors of Indiana met in Indianapolis yesterday and one of the resolutions adopted was in praise of Mayor Bell of tiie capital city who is also the president of the association It was one of the few bright spots in* a busy career as chief executive o" the largest hoosier city that Mayor Bell was not looking for though he deserved all and more than was said of him. Its easy to pick out the 'suits < the other fellow, especially if he is a public officer or a man whose duty calls him to take an active ran in public affairs. Its queer but true that a man may perform ten thousand good acts and receive not one word of commendation, but should he chance to stub his toe. he is immediately condemned by an ever ready public.. Its right to criticise for tliats the su r est means of securing improved ccn ditions, but it is also right to say a good word now and then for the man in the harness. Try it both ways.
