WHY NOT, MR. REPUBLICAN? In a recent issue of the New York World appeared a column and a halt editorial rather unusual in its demands, but strong and logical in its arguments. It says that if Mr. Wilson was a republican he would be renominated by acclamation and declared the greatest president ever produced in this country. The republicans would point to the revision of the tariff as the fulfillment of McKinley’s dying pledge, which Roosevelt shirked and in whictf Taft failed; to the banking law as the greatest piece of legislation yet enacted; to the income tax law as the just and equitable means of making wealth pay a due portion of the expense of the government; to the corporation tax law as one originated by the republicans; to the repeal of the coastwise provision of the Panama tolls act as proof that the United States is faithful to treaty pledges; to the federal trade board as a progressive measure of constructive legislation; to the president’s Mexican policy as one identical with that of Lincoln; to the realization of James G. Elaine's dream of Pan-Americanism in the new relations with the LatinAmerican countries; to the foreign policy of the president in the most critical period of history since the civil war; to his leadership of congress; to his preparedness measures as full atonement for past derelictions on the part of the republican party so long in power; they would point to the administration of Wilson as second only to 'those of Washington and Lincoln as to record of mighty achievements for the American people. All this and more would they say. They have no candidate. They have no issue. Why not nominate Mr. Wilson? No other in the world, says the New York paper, would be so crazy in the midst of a world crisis as to change or to tolerate any attempt to bring about a change. The World suggests that the republicans nominate their other candidate, but endorse Wilson for president, and thus manifest the patriotism they have talked so long about. It would strengthen American prestige in every

capital of the world as nothing else could dp. It would reveal a united republic, eager tor pence, unafraid of wur, and determined to maintain the glorious traditions of service to man kind which it inherited from its fathers. The editorial closes with this paragraph: "Is the party whose proud boast that it saved the Union great enough and patriotic enough to give American democracy a new Union in this day when civilization itself is hanging crucified on a cross of European imperialism?”

IT’S SURE TO PAY (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) writer’s reason for writing this article is that the business men do not realize what an important factor the dairy business Is to them. The dairy products today are considered second to the corn crop. Dairy products are greater in value than the wheat crop, hay crop, or the cotton crop, and yet many farmers and business men consider dairying a woman's work. The good feature of dairying, it's a cash businss, and tends to remove the evil of credit. My belief and feeling is such that with your co-operation only, that our nearly built plant here will in a short time be a great benefit to Decatur. I have noticed that the splen‘did field of developing this industry here lacks co-operation of the entire community, where a feeling of “help one another” should exist. It’s the opposite. Do one another. My sincere belief is to follow the (example of some other successful city land practice and preach co-operation. It would not take long to make Decatur one of the best cities in the state.

1 have a friend whom I believe would benefit every business man in Decatur to give a talk on co-operation. This party is E. W. Puckett of Fort Wayne. Ind., an< he would willingly, at any time, make an address before the business men of Decatur. Yours respectfully, W. A. KLEPPER. o STREET CAR RAN AMUCK. (United Press Service) Newcastle, Ind., May 6—(Special to Daily Democrat) —This city’s one street car became militant when it saw pestiferous jitney busses running around it and grabbing off its legitimate passengers. One of the biggest jitneys operated here tried to cross in front of the “dinky” and in the encounter that resulted came off second best. A fender on the jitney was bent and the steering gear damaged. The street car suffered minor scratches. SPECIAL °MEETING. A special meeting of the Beu Hur degree staff has been announced by the drill master for next Monday night at which time the preparations for the exhibition drill on next Friday night will be perfected.

On next Friday night the social session will take up part of the time following the lodge session. Refreshments, drill work and a program will be given. o WANTED—Two or three unfurnished rooms for light housekeeping. Enquire of Mrs. Belle Johnson at phone 153.
