A swimming pool would’nt be such a bad thing just now would It? Many cities aro providing them and the im- • provenient boosters of Decatur could do nothing better, it provides a sale ylave for bathing and would we fell sure be well patronized at least during these hot months. ..i, ■ IM, ■ i— w An August sale in Decatur? By all means the merchants should have one. The "live wires" get the business and we have them. Don’t let the hot weather prevent you from keeping up the drive. The people have to live any way and they want your goods and will buy if you make the proper effort.

The mercury continues to croen ever upward. It reached ninety-six in the shade yesterday afternoon in Decatur and apparently had just got nicely started. At that nearly everybody seems to be getting along and there is not an unusual amount of sickness. Its easy to give advice an 1 not so easy to follow it but we can’t helo reminding you that you will feel better if you eat less, smoke less. benator Tom Taggart com- i to grow in favor and it is acknowledged by many partisans who have always opposed him that he will be elected in November by a great majority. People recognize seryfoe and Tom Taggart without any frills or effort at show, went down to Washington and started into use his wonderful business ability to save money for the people of the United States. It is estimated he will save something like two-iiundred-million dollars on tbe appropriations and he has only been a member of the senate a few months. Unquestionably a man who can build up a private fortune as has Mr. Taggait, who is honest and square, who knows how Io do thlnws and wants to, can prove a powerful man in the senate and the voters of Indiana will not discharge him after his efforts these first few months. Rattier they will be grateful that they have such a public servant who can and will continue to represent them in the highest law making body in the world.

The other issue decided upon wa,--criticism of the Mexican policy of the administration, because Wilson has refused to intervene or open war for the benefit of the interests that own the mines and other Mexican properties, and who would kill a few hundreds of thousands' of young Americans in order that their personal fortunes might be enlarged. So we shall have the spectacle ot ,i political party having for its appeal to the voters an attack upon unprecedented prosperity and violent criticism of a Mexican policy that has it least saved hundreds of thousands of American lives which some men as president might have ascribed through hot-headedness.
