Edison says: "They say he has blundered. Perhaps he has. But I notice that he usually blunders forward.” There can be no more effective an swer to the stereotyped criticism of the president. Mr. Wilson blunders at times, but he blunders forward, and blundering forward represents the highest achievements of the hu man race. ' That is why Mr. Wilson is certain to rank among the greatest of all presidents of the United States. — New York World. * 1 Monday. October 9, is registration day. Don't forget it. If you can't be at home that day, arrange to regi.ter by affidavit. Don't disfranchise yourself. Mr. Vestal is devoting a week to Adams county, in an effort to convince the voters that he ought to be congressman. His principal argument seems to be that he wants the job, overlooking the fact that Judge Denney does also, and that the latter has promised to support the policies of Woodrow’ Wilson, which have brought peace and prosperity to this country, though the rest of the world is up side down. The Herald is greatly worried because we failed to ib-vote a couple of pages to Mr. Goodrich’s speech. It would have been a waste of valuable space for it can. like the speeches of all the other republican spell binders this year, including even their candidate for president, be told in two words —“He harped.” A man who claims that the inmates of our public institutions can be maintained for five cents a day doesn’t deserve much mention, and will get but little consideration at the polls.

CHEERFUL WORDS For Many a Decatur Household. To have the pains and aches of a bad back removed —to be entirely free from annoying, dangerous urinary disorders, is enough to make any kidney sufferer grateful. The following advice of one who has suffered will prove helpful to hundreds of Decatur readers: Mrs. John Schnitz, 334 N. Eighth St.. Decatur, says: “At times, when I stood, my hack ached so severely that I could hardly endure it. Sometimes for a minute I would become dizzy and my sight blurred as if a cloud was in front of my eyes. 1 had aches in the back of my head and 1 was tired, worn-out and nervous. I finally tried Doan’s Kidney Pills. One box freed me from the suffering as nothing else had ever done.’’ Price, 50c At all .dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get 'Doan’s Kidney Pills —the spme that Mrs. Schnitz had. Foster-Milburn Co.. Props.. Buffalo, N. Y. —Advt. PUBLIC SALE.
