It’s only five weeks away and the five weeks will fly around before you know it. The Daily Democrat today turned down two half-page advertisements for out-of-town, concerns which we figured would interfere with local mer- • chants. We have always been loyal to the Adams county merchants and we always expect to be. We don’t believe in boosting for home trade in one column and advertising foreign stores in another. Trade at home and trade with those who advertise in the home paper. Come on Merchants and advertise. You can't expect to do much busness if you sit around like a lot of “dead ones" and wait for the business to come to you. Invite the public to 1 trade with you if you want the business and remember you can do it through the columns of the Daily Demcorat at a decent rate and reach fifteen thousand people each day. It's an opportunity you ought to grab and grab delightedly. Start this week. Adams county ought to send a dozen or more automobiles to Marion on December Ist to secure the place on the Cleveland to St. Louis highway that | they want and that we ought to have. In the years to come the good towns I will be those located on these principal roads. The live cities are right now hustling for them as they hustled for steam and electric roads a few years ago. We should be up on our toes. Don’t lets lag and permit some other city to have all the main roads. Nearly three thousand men were injured while at work in the factories of Indiana during the month of October according to the report of the Workmen's Compensation commission, signifying that the mills and factories

No better sign ; of the times is at hand and the fact f that quick settlement was made in each of these cases is proof of the value of this splendid law, protecting ' the employee as well as the employer. I "In view of the fact that the SupI reme Court is to pass on the constitu--1 tionality of the primary election law 1 within the next few weeks, the test i • suit filed in this county, with Carl 1 H. Mote as the plaintiff, seems rather , uncalled for unless the as ’ reported, is to pull the wool over ! the eyes of the Progressives in the ■ hope of convincing them that the local Republican organization is anxious to make it easy for them to act with tlie G. O. P. at the primary next Marcti. “It might not be amiss to remind the local Republican leaders that perhaps the Progressives are not worried as to whether they are to be permitted to affiliate with either of the old parties at the primary. The consitutionality of Sec. 10 of the primary law attacked by the local and state Republican committees has been upheld by the Judge Paris, Democrat, of New Albany. What difference will it make if it is set aside by a Republican judge in Marion County? “The supreme Court will have the last word and it will speak in due time. The attempt of the Republicans to play politics in this litigation will not be taken seriously outside of their own camp. The Mote suit, as a matter of fact, is a sort of fifth wheel to tlie entire procedure. It is to be hoped, however, that the Supreme Court will celar up the uncertainty regarding a number of provisions of the law. Until that court speaks, it might/be just as well for •the Republicans to sit still in the boat and await results." —Indianapolis Star. -3=sx i !■ nr-TTn-I> ■■! finTTHTT *1 DOINGS IN SOCIETY [ WEEK’S CLUB CALENDAR.
