Who will undertake * to say that President Wilson's way is . not the best way?

Riley Day tomorrow. Read one or two of the poems written by this greatest Hoosier and you will understand why he is so widely loved. He has reached the hearts of more people young and old than has any poet, living or dead. The most delightful part about this celebration is that this is « once in history when a man’s good work is noticed and honored before ' his death. Usually we wait until long afterward to appreciate, but with Riley it is different. We believe he is the man living today, whose work will be longest recorded. If Decatur had a McLain of Green-1 field, Ohio, or an Eckhart of Auburn, or a philanthropist who wished to have hte name kindly mentioned during many generations to come, the “gym” question could be easily disposed of. As it is we have atroublesome problem and ope which at times seems quite impossible. However, we have faith in our people and feel sure that at some no very great time in the distance the proposition will be taken care of just about right. Os course that doesn’t provide a place for the young people just now —and they certainly do need one. ' i The Kendallville News-Sun, inde-

pendently republican, Aays in a resume of proposed candidates for various offices: “But the sad part about the candidacy of Mr. Fairbanks, from the viewpoint of a party man, is that he stands about as much chance of being elected as Colonel Roosevelt does of being called to the leadership of the Peace society. The people haven't the slightest intention of voting for Mr. Fairbanks. As a candidate he would arouse about as much enthusiasm as a barrel of salt in a desert. If the republicans hope to hand Mr. Wilson a pressing invitation to return to private life they will have to hunt up something that will make the mouth water better than this favorite son.” Five or six weeks r,f trial and the expenditure of several thousand dollars to say nothing of grand jury that worked for months, has resulted in half a dozen ex-convicts, jail and men without honor testifying that Mayor Beil did some work on election iay. They have even discovered a fellow who saw Tom Taggart give a man something on election day, though they of course do not say whether it was a chew of tobacco or a loaf of bread, but it was something. And now they say they have made their case and will quit in a few days. If there was ever a "joke” perpetrated on the people of Marion county it is, this effort of a few politicians to belittle and besmirch a few democrats —and it has been some expensive joke. You know it has been difficult all the time for many people to understand how the democrats of Marion county corrupted an election very seriously when the republicans carried the county by 5,000, and since the trial has been on, but little light has been thrown on the subject.

C., Oct. 6—(Special to Daily Democrat) —President Wilson struck out straight for greater preparedness this afternoon, in an address of welcome to of the naval advisory board at the white house, and called upon them to unite with the government in establishing a defense that would “command the respect of the entire world.” “I think that the whole nation is convinced that we ought to be prepared, not for war. but for defense, and very adequately prepared,” the president said. “The preparations for defense is not merely a technical matter; it is not a matter that the army and navy can take care of alone, but a matter in which we must have the co-operation of the best brains of the country, outside the official service as well as inside.” —o —.
