SHALL WE CELEBRATE:Will Decatur and Adams county olisevre the centennial? In nearly every county in this great state the event is to be made one ol history and it Is fitting that we should do likewise. So far but little has been done toward this end and it is time that some action should be taken. It has been suggested that September 15th marks the eightieth anniversary of the day this county was formed and this city platted. It seems that week would be a splendid time for a celebration, in which the city and county should join. If we do this the officials of each corporation should be interested and should assist to some extent in the financing of the event. If we celebrate, lets do it right. Everyone in the county will remember the successful Old Home Week given here four years ago. Why not have another one during the week of Soptehmber 15th next and join with this the proper observation of the Indiana Centenial and the eightieth birthday of this best county and city in the whole wide world? If you have any suggestions or any opinions, who not offer them through these columns? We believe it would aid in creating interest. Lindley M. Garrison, secretary of war, and a member of President Wilson’s cabinet, has resigned because the president would not irrevocably support the continental army plan and because he opposes the administrations program of setting a definite time for Phillipine independence. Assistant secretary Breckenridge also quit as a mark of loyalty to his chief. This action is the right one if he cannot agree with the administration and the resignations were promptly* accepted. Already a hundred names have been suggested and it is not improbable that some man, eminen'ly fitted for the high place in our government can be induced to accept’ the strenous duties. The fact that the local sugaa - plant will give an exhibit in many of the ninety-two counties of Indiana during the coming summer- should be good news for 'every loyal boosting citizen of this county. The sugar factory here is the only one in the entire state and that fact will be told to thousands this year. The fact that the plant has the brightest outlook in their history is also welcome news to everybody here who wish for the success of these concerns located here.

v Only a couple of years ago the men : worked for months to secure three or * four thousand acres but this year . they are finding it more trouble to r keep away from those who wish to contract than anything else and the , limit, 6,560 acres, will be in this week. : Last year was a good one and next year promises to be better. It’s a good thing for any town to boast of. Go to it. Many people of Adams county, democrats and republicans alike will ret gret to hear that It. O. Johnson, mayor of Gary, has quit the race for the republican nomination for governor. His political success has been -watched with interest by his old Adams county

triends and admirers, and it is conceeded that he has made progress in his contest for the nomination for ichief executive of the state. If it is t true however that some of his comf petitors are expending as much as j SIOO,OOO it is not to be wondered ai that Ross was forced to quit. Few of the men in the ordinary ranks vs life could keep up with sucli a stride and as Mr. Johnson says, even Oliver P. Morton could not have made the race. Os course one wonders why the candidates for the democratic nominai tlons can make the race with a very ordinary expense account, hut perhaps it would be different there if mcie I millionaires desired the honors. Johnson is one of the leaders of his party i and we believe the future holds great promise for him. ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR CONGRESSMAN.
