The latest to announce flatfootedly for Mr. Wilson is the Indiana Daily Times, which says: President Wilsotj should be re-elect-ed. The administration ought to be continued for many reasons, and chief among these reasons is tlie great fact

the United States lias been maintained honorably at pence with the world in face of extreme hazard, difficulty and provocation. The Wilson administration has boon tin administration pint got vesults. And the greatest of nil ’results," the thing that stands out most strongly. Is peace. "It is necessary for ultimata readjustnymts among the powers that the United States shall continue at peace and neutral. There is but one view to take of the situation, and that is the large, humanitarian view. In view of our position as an influence for peace and comity among nations, we shoiild stand firmly, even in face of the extreme tost, bolding patiently and earnestly to a steady course —the way of reason and humanity. This is Wilson's position. The voters are ready to indorse that position. “it is significant that all the American citizens who have seen Europe's battlefields: al men who have looked on tlie shambles tl .< w s France and the slaughter pen that fo-merly was peaceful Poland: every wi er business man who has viewed the devastation wrought by modern war across the sea. is outspokenly, zealously and seriously for Wilson for president. Those who know heat what the European war means are in a position to appreciate most what Wjlson has achieved in maintaining the honorable neutrality of the United States. The thoughtful Americans who carry in their minds actual, vivid pictures 'of the horrible nightmare that has been thrust on Europe are positive that in exerting himself to keep this nation from becoming embroiled President Wilson has performed the greatest service to the world. They believe Wilson ought to be sustained and that his policy and work should go on without interruption. ‘■There is a practical side. In the most critical situation of recent times the United States must maintain not only a consistent and continued policy toward other nations, and particularly toward belligerent powers, but the American government must keep at their posts of duty the able ambassadors who have been for more than three years, most of them, fitting themselves for the tremendous tasks that now daily' confront them. It would be a mistake, inviting trouble and possibly involving disaster, to call our embassadors home in a time of turmoil and danger, and to send to the capitals of involved nations new and untried representatives. Yet this would be done in the event a change were to be made in the national adminstration. "It would he as if the head of a business concern were to discharge all his employes in a period of utmost activity and difficulty and install an entirely new force with the expectation that the business would go forward without pause or break. "A change of administration would be taken by other nations to mean we repudiate policies initiated and maintained by Wilson. We cannot with safety repudiate or make a change of those policies in a period of uncertainty such as that in which the nations are involved at this time. If it was ever necessary for Americans to stand united that union and accord are necessary now. Division would weaken us and deprive us Os peace and influence needed for our larger world mission. “To abandon the Wilson policies in November would set the United States adrift in the critical period between November 7 an<l March 4. It Is impossible to think of drifting in waters which we know are Strewn with the mines of disaster. The world must know the policies and purposes of this government every day and every hour. There must lte.no question as. to our attitude. Today the world knows where we stand. It is our business to hold fast to the advanced position we have occupied in recent months and to make the world understand we are one in our American-

ism. “A change of administration means not only a repudiation of present re-suit-getting policies and a change to < policies of which we know little or nothing, but a change means also 1 that following a dangerous period of waiting and drifting we must fuco, i with the induction of a new president . a considerable period of readjustment and preparation—a time in which a new administration must fit itself for service. “Wilson lias had precisely the experience lie needs. He is more valuable to the nation than he ever has been, and he will continue ‘to grow. He has risen to great occasions, and lie has shown a capacity for growth commensurate with the immensity of his tasks. No new man possibly could take his place and do it ade- , quately in the face of the critical situation with which Wilson is so thoroughly conversant and familiar. “The simple truth, summed up, is this: We cannot afford to *swap’ horses in the middle of the stream.” NO SUCH LAW:— It is being given out in some sections that in the closing days of the last session congress enacted a law granting pensions to Confederate soldiers and their widows. Congress man Tillman .of Arkansas, did introduce such a bill, which died in committee. The bill was not reported to congress or acted upon in any legislative manner.—National Tribune. BE SURE TO HEAR SENATOR JOHN W. KERN AT THE COURT HOUSE. DECATUR, NEXT TUESDAY AFTERNOON. The Henry County Democrat printed in German at Napoleon. 0.. Otto K. Evers, editor, has declared for President Wilson. Mr. Evers was first inclined to oppose the president, but after an investigation of th? “whys and wherefore” has changed his minfl. The paper was established twenty-one years ago. Judge Denney spoke to a large crowd at the court house last night and he pleased his hearers. He is a wonderful public speaker with a knowledge of the great questions of the hour and the ability to convev that knowledge. He made good with the Decatur crowd and.he promises to be a five-time winner in this district as has been his predecessor. No speaker in this great campaign is making more effective speeches than our own great senator, John Worth Kern As democratic leader of the senate this great Hoosier has rendered the greatest aid to the president during the past three years. He knows how each of the great laws was passed, knows it step by step and can tell it in a most interesting way. He will address the voters of this vicinity next Tuesday afternoon and you should hear him. I MINGS IN SOCIETY 0 WEEK’S SOCIAL CALENDAR. Fridty Philathea— Mrs. James Strickler.

A few years ago 1 was at Parker , Indiana. You couldn’t sell wheat straw for fifty cents a tonu. Today it sells for ei.’Jit dollars and fifty cents. Wheat around one dollar and xifty cents, other grains in proportion. Truly i prosperous times. Returning to the war Judge Denney showed where in the World war in the past two years more men have , been killed than there was in all of the wars in tlie last four thousand years. The American people ought to be glad that we have a "note writing" president. Europe would have ' been- prosperous and at peace today ' if a few of her monarchs had been “note writing" rulers. President Wilson has been absolutely neutral.

In turn she loaded cargo and returned safely home. When in the l>ay. and just before she submerged within the three mile limit.
