Entered at the PostotHce In Decatur, Indiana, as second-class matter. The announcement that President Wilson is to wed Mrs. Galt, a beautiful Washington woman, is a surprise to the citizens of the nation, but it will not prevent them from rejoicing in his happiness. This is Riley day and a mighty good ’ time to read his "My Philosophy,” or ' any of his hundreds of other poems 1 which go straight to your heart and 1 stick there. He is Indiana’s great- ‘ est living citizen anti the world’s most popular poet. Some weather this, and that frost | i that was predicted would kill the corn a month ago seems as far away as ever. The crops are coming good for the time of the year and the farmer is busy, but happy for he is catch- 1 ing up with his work. The Decatur sugar plant, the onlyone of its kind in the state of Indiana. has started its annual campaign. Indications are that the yield 1 will be a surprisingly large one and that the season for the farmer who raised beets and for the sugar com- ; pany will be a very satisfactory one. We still believe the school board ought to work with the committee on * the matter of equipping thenew school j house witha gymnasium. If they will house this much needed and modern improvement, enough money can be secured by subscription to equip it. Other cities are doing it. Why not Decatur? Hon. Charles A. Bookwaiter, former mayor of Indianapolis, prominent citizen, and who is being mentioed for United Slates senator, was on the fitness stand in the Bell trial yesterdjv and this old fox, who knows more about tlle political game than most ~ peopled testified that he had been

’ about the polls a good part of the ■ election day and saw nothing unusual, and he certaiiEy would have seen it : had there b4en anything there. BookI ! waiter is a republican, but he realizes that the present trial is a farce pure and simple, and he wisely answered th>> questions propounded to him. It was a great day for the American people when President WJlson and a democratic’congress had the banking ; and currency laws, or federal reserve ' act enacted. The money power was I transferred from Wall street to j Washington, D. C., and the nabobs j can no longer hold the people up and squeeze them. The banks of the country are overflowing with money: gold is coming back from Europe; there can be no panics in this country, and those who desire to borrow money can get it if they have any good means of security. Under this act, panics are a thing of the past and those who have prosperity and real estate are not afraid to go in debt, as they were a few-years ago, realizing that the money power can not take advantage of them. “gttcsamm.'ziuiuatmmxmutitnttt r~ | DOINGS IN SOCIETY | WEEK’S CLUB CALENDAR.
