HAVE LOST THEIR FRIEND: — Doings at a recent conference between some manufacturers and g. o. p. leaders of Indiana have just leaked out. The g. o. p. leaders, alarmed at the wave of prosperity that is sweeping the country, called the mill owners in conference to protest against the giving out of facts and the efforts to boom business before next fall. They argued that unless they could make some show of business depression next summer during the campaign there would be no hope of electing the republican ticket in either the state or nation. But the mill owners wouldn't consent. They had helped to pull off the same game in past campaigns, but now there was too much business and too much prosperity on all sides for them to pass by without getting their share. It seems that the jig is up and the old game that has been worked for more than twenty years is a thing of the past. When President Wilsop said that the republican party had not had a new idea in thirty years he told the truth, and the statement is just as applicable to their campaign methods as to their legislative ideas. The new ideas of the Wilson administration, chief among which is the solidest financial system this country or any other ever had, have proved successful. and the business interests of the country have the greatest present and the greatest future of any in our history. The railroads and other industries are reaping their harvest right now, and the only show for the g. o. p. is to fry the fat out of some corporations seeking special legislative favors which they cannot get under this administration. It is a sad blow for the old party to be deprived of its main financial stay, but it must face the situation and make the best of it, or the worst of it.—New Castle • Times. Decatur may have a new showhouse during the next few months if a movement now on foot is carried out. The people demand amusement and it is most probable that such a place would prove popular and profitable. Let ’er come. Several new plans for continuing the traction line and continuing also its operation from this city are now on foot. It is hoped that they may culminate in definite steps that will make the line a profitable and substantial part of this community. It is said that Decatur is not on As This Is The Time of year that we are reminded that we have Jots of things to be thankful for we wish to thank all our friends and patrons for the business and friendship that they have given us during the past year. We wish you all a happy Thanksgiving. THE MYERS-DAILEY COMPANY

the Blue Book and the Red Book, the two best known guides for automobile travelers. Some one seems to,.have gone asleep and it's time to wake up. It's another proof that we can’t get anything unless we go after It. Let's start in right now. There will be do doubt that Decatur wants the Cleveland to St. Louis highway if the enthusiasm displayed last evening is carried to Marion next Wednesday. Let's go after it and get a half dozen more of these main roads. In a few years from now you will realize the advantage. Good roads make a good community, and it’s going to be more so in the future. If you are a booster now in a few years from now you will be spoken of as one of the fellows who helped your community, who looked into the future and helped to build. You can’t afford to be anything but a booster in this movement.
