Tl.e merchants of Decatur could enliven business considerably if they would advertise a dollar sale for the middle of August. Its the right time of tho year, the dollar sale Is a suc<ess always, you have the stock, the people want the goods. Then why not? Senator Tom Taggart and John Adair are planning a whirlwind' campaign into every section of Indiana. They are good ones and they will make votes where ever they go. Watch out for them but you won't need to —you will hear them coming and hear them when they get there and. about them for years to come. They are winners all the time and there is no way on earth to stop them this year. The appointment of John Hesshi Clark of Cleveland as a member of the United States supreme court has been confirmed by the senate, ten days after his appointment by the president and the distinguished jurist will at cnce assume duties laid down by Charles Hughes to become the republican nomine'' for president. Mr. Clark has had many years of legal exi>ericnce and itas the confidence and endorsement of the general citizenry as well the officials. President Wilson has we believe again chosen wisely. Nalionai Committeeman Hoffman made a wise selection in appointing Ilowman Elder of Indianapolis as the Indiana member of the Young Men's Democratic League. He is a live on", a real democrat, has the big smile, the hand shake, knows the game and loves it and will do Ills share to prove to the young voters of this state that they ought to vote the democratic ticket. He has opened headquarters and will soon be up to his chin in campaign work. Mr. Elder is tho president of the Indiana Domoorptic Club. .Many 'aousunUi. of prog lussives will take their renegade leader at his word that most of the demands of the progressive party have been enacted into law by the democratic party since 1912 and will sensibly and logi rally consider that a party that has thus moved to the heights for a clear outlook upon the country and ti.c needs of its people and the people's progress, and his actually wrought into a great achieved program of c,on-
