Keep your fighting spirit up, boosters for Decatur. One ci these days there is going to be a real opportunity and we want to be ready to take ad vantage of it. Wt* need an organization for this very purpose in Decatur, but it seems to us we*have mentioned that fact at some previous Well it won't hurt to repeat it. Lets have it and lets keep it. Take a run out over Adams county in any direction and you will declare it the best in all the world. The crops are coming good, the hay crop is immense. oats and coni are looking up fine and there is every indication that the year will be an average one. though the spring rains continued unusually late and every “break” was against the farmer this year. We have some country through here and we have the highest grade farmers on the face of the earth, a broad statement hut a true one. The report of the census department on the commerce of this nation just issued shows a big increase ia 1914 over previous years and when the report for 1915 and 1916 is announced it will be almost startling Not only business has increased but likewise wages and profits and the most wonderful business boom ever known in the world is on right now. It is not to be wondered at that all over the country great manufacturers and business men are saying they will leave well enough alone and vote to retain the Wilson administration. Every boy ought to feel the patriotism of this greatest nation on earth at this seeion of the Fourth and they ought to be allowed to yell and whistle and wave flags and shoot fire crackers and let off steam to their hearts content, but they should re-, member too that care may save a serious accident and that they have no right to destroy property, annoy i>ee]>le or do those things which endanger the lives of other people or themselves. Just use a little common sense boys and you will have a better time and so will every one else.. Its almost pitiful to notice how the republican press and the republican politicians are digging and hunting' and scrambling fcr something theV can use as an issue in the coming campaign. They hav'nt a leg to stand on and they know it but they are making a big blustering bluff with

the hope that some one will make’a mistake that they can use as a “big stick” to beat up on the administration. The records of the state and national officials have been so perfect that they can't attack them, there is no fight on the tariff, President Wilson and Governor Ralston have accomplished big things and have kept the promises of their party and the poor old republican party are up against the real thing when they search for something to fight us with. One of the biggest business men ot Indiana, a life long republican, has announced that he will support the democratic tickets, state and national this year and after reciting the facts concerning the wonderful prosperity new at hand conclud s by saying: "Republicans are going tn have plenty to do to find any argument that may lead people to support them in face of the facts. When you come to consider the state ticket, great guns, look at the men nominated on the republican ticket. They represent nothing this year but the desire to get into office. What, high or unselfish motive did the men managing the republican convention at Chicago show, either in selecting a candidate t>r adopting a platform. The democrats have certainly given us something in the handling of state institutions, in progressive legislation, in payment of state debt, and we might name a long list. They are doing things for the people’s good and have something on which to ask our suffrage.” t DOINGS IN SOCIETY [ a ctstwtanßanKKamwtmtnrma ' WEEK’S SOCIAL CALENDAR. Saturday.
