Decatur is coming back and coming fast. We believe that before the year is over we wili secure several splendid new industries, giving employment to every man that wants it and bringing into this community many thousand dollars of money from outside trade. Wo have advanced the parcel post to genuine efficiency, enlarged the postal savings system, added 10.000 rural delivery routes and extensions, thus reaching 2,500,000 additional people, improved the postal service in every branch, and for the first time in our history placed the postoffice system on a self-supporting basis, with actual surplus in 1913, 1914 and 1915.—From the Democratic Platform adopted in St. Louis. Announcement is made of a new business concern in Decatur which will employ fifty men and they come without bluster or noise, without asking any assistance. They deserve every aid we can give them and we hope and know that our good people will extend the hand of sincere welcome to the Bluffton gentltmen who are investing their money here and who will give employment to local mtn, besides bringing to this city new families. Here's hoping every success for the new hoop company. Teddy Roosevelt yesterday elected himself king of the pussyfooters when he backed up on everything he has said about the standpatters, took back his statement that he absolutely wouldn’t support Hughes and in a "ringing statement" declares that the election of Hughes is the only way to save the country.” Os all the world’s greatest grandstanders Teddy stands out alone. The truth of the matter is he has tired of his one man fight and has decided to crawl back under the tent where he can continue to find fault with the ’' democrats whether they be right or wrong. He declares he is against Wilson because we need an American in office and the papers which have been representing that

Wilson is too much American will now agree with the terrible Teddy, who has made soveral trips over the country to tell the pro-German where to head tn. It’s a queer case of poor politics and these men who are fighting the administration the hardest admit they know of no particular instance in which any man could have handled to better advantage the perplexing problems that have come up. than has the president. And now. Teddy, who termed him a pussyfooter, becomes the real pussyfooter. Mr. Hughes is convinced that the democrats are incapable and this in the face of the fact that President Wilson has given us the greatest banking law ever created, has stopped panics, has averted war, has settled every diplomatic quc dlcr. so perfectly that not a single thread !?. left for the republicans to build upca. The intimation that Roosevelt will be a member of the cabinet will not be the most delightful news and we call especial attention to the following paragraph from his letter declining the nomination: “No good American, whatever his creed, can have any feeling except scorn and detestation for those professional German-Americans who seek to make the American president in effect a viceroy of the German emperor. The professional GermanAmericans of this type are acting purely in the sinister interest of Germany. They have shown their eager readiness to sacrifice the interest of the United States whenever its interest conflicted with that of Germany. They represent that adherence to the politico-racial hyphen which is the badge and sign of moral treason to the republic. I have singled these men out for specific denunciation, and assuredly if I support a candidate it may be accepted as proof that I am certain that the candidate is incapable of being influenced by the evil intrigues of these hyphenated Americans.” r>aWMK DOINGS IN SOCIETY | WEEK’S SOCIAL CALENDAR.

"Apparently the American government without adequate reason for declaring war on Mexico wishes to make . hostilities inevitable,” said the foreign . secretary. “Mexico should win or . succumb with dignity,”. The foreign ; scretary charged that the United s States is concentrating forces against . the Mexican border and that war ap- ’ peers inevitable. • i o BROTHER INSTANTLY KILLED.
