Entered at the Postofflce in Decatur, ndlana, as second-class matter. Adams county does not owe a penny, neither docs the state of Indiana. These are not the statements of po'iticlans, but the truth and any other intimation is not only unfair, but shows a tendency towards misleading that should not be tolerated. Well, let’s get down to business on this centennial question. We should at least know whether you want one or not, and so far, though we have asked it several dozen times, not more than a half dozen have expressed themselves on the question. Watson and New are still at it, teli-

ins the truth about each other, hwo unfit they are for the high office of United States senator and more and more convincing the public that neither ought to have the place. Well, they won’t get it, so what’s the odds. Watson has announced that he will carry the fight to the state convention, giving his reasons that he car-, ried the state outside of Marion county, which evidently doesn't count in this case. Watson's friends say they like a fighter, while New s men say that even Watson ought to know when he’s licked. 'Rah for Kern! That the days of U. S. Senator V. L. Shively are rapidly drawing to a close may be gathered from the recent Washington dispatches on the subject of his physical condition. For many weeks now the senator has been closely confined to his bed in Providence hospital, Washington, and though he still makes a heroic effort to attend to his official duties, his friends have come to realize that his condition is now much worse than when he arrived in Washington to attend the present session of Congress. His death would mean a great loss to nation and state alike, for he at all times and under all conditions has proven himself to he a true champion cf the common people’s rights.— Pulaski County Democrat. ■ ii The Democratic party in Indiana would lost nothing by the dissolution of the Progressive organization. At the election two years ago there were 100,000 Progressive voters. Suppose that the party should disintegrate, it is a safe assumption that one-fotmh would return to the Democratic party

i from whence they came. Add this one-fourth to the Democratic vote and the other three-fourths would not car- . ry the state for the Republicans. As large as wus the Republican vote in the primary last week it is still short more than 60,000 of the Democratic vote of 1914, and it is claimed that ihousands of former Progressives voted with the Republicans in the nomination. There is nothoing to indicate that the Democratic party can be defeated either the state or nation in the November election. It could win in Indiana without counting the ten of thousands of business men and wage earners that will vote to continue the present conditions and prosperity. When these are added the majority of 1916 will far exceed the 50,000 plurality of 1914. —New Castle Times. fSTI!M SOCIETY | WEEK’S SOCIAL CALENDAR. Tuesday. Y. P. A. —Hope Hoffman W. C. T.

San-Yak prevents sell poisoning, that serious Illness from which so many nersons of sedentary habits and advanced age suffer. Fan-Yak prevents clogging of the colon and caecum; hence its greet value in destroying germs from undigested animal food which are a factor in the true cause of poisonous decom pcsitious of the bowels, causing ap-' pendieitis, rheumatism, typhoid, dysentery and arterio sclerosis or hardened arteries. Heart trouble Is developed through seif polscniug from the kidneys and bowels. To maintain health all such poisoning must be checked, aud you can do so with the use of San Yak.

Holbrook Bltun and Vivian Martin, wo enormously popular stars, in a World Film feature. Holbrook Blinn (the most virile and lecisive actor In motion pictures) ind Vivian Martin (the daintiest star in filmdom) piav opposite each other In* World Film Corporation's presenition of “A Butterfly on the Wheel,' ~ased upon the stage play of the same tame which was offered to the pubic a few years ago. The story is that of a successful nan of business who neglects bis young wife. She iu turn listens to lie pleadings of an indent admirer, but nevertheless remains true to her husband. The latter however, catching the couple in suspicious circumuances, over which neither have control, seizes the opportunity of divorcng his wife. But after much unhappiness the couple is reunited. This powerful story, which is here mly faintly outlined, affords M. Hourneur the oportunity of introduc-

ng some startling anil realistic efe.ts, notably one illustrating the burning of a theater, the people in the loomed house barely escaping with ■heir lives. “A Butterfly on the Wheel” will be presented at ihe Crystal theater tonight.

GERMANS HELP. “At the outbreak of our war of Independence, Herkimer, Muohleuberg and Schlatter gathered the Germans in the Mohawk valley and the Virginia valley together and organized them into companies for service. Baron Ottendorff. another German soldier, recruited and drilled the famous Arniand Legion. And when Washington’s first body-guard was suspected of treasonably sentiments and plans, it was dismissed and a new body-guard consisting entirely of Germans was formed. This new bodyguard was supported by a troop of cavalry, consisting entirely of Germans, under the command of Major Barth von Heer. one of Frederick the Great’s finest cavalry officers. Th:. troop s;ood by Washington during the entire \v»r and twelve of them sceroted him to Mt. Vernon when he retired. “But the greatest contribution of German militarism to the cause of our independence was Baron von , Steuben, the famous aide de camp of Frederick the Great. He came io us at the most critical period ot the Revolution, that awful winter of 1777-78, when the remnants of our forces, a small band of ragged, starved, and discouraged militiamen, were trying to keep body and soul together at Valley Forge. He shared their sufferings. he introduced the Prussian organization, discipline, and drilj. ■ among them. Iu a few monlbs he made a real army out of them, which turned defeat into victory and made ■ our independence possible. He then ' proceeded to the south and organized ’ and disciplined the army for Genera! * ’ of Yorktown, and. as the only AmerI iean officer who had ever witnessed

the storming of a fortified plac«, he rendered most valuable service, and it was his fortune to be in command in the trenches when the British fag was hauled down. “And besides Steuben, there were Baron de Kalb, the most brilliant cavalry officer; Joann Schott, the •niosi efficient artillery officer; General Lutterloli, the quartermaster general, and Christopher Ludwig, the mastei surveyor—all Germans, who had had the trammg of German militarism. It is not too much to say that German militarism did probably as much as any other thing to make our ,nai triumph over Great Britain in our war tor independence, possible. —— o FOR SALE—Metz roadster in good condition.
