Entered at the Postoffice in Decatur. Indiana, as second-class matter. Mr. Hughes probably feels better today. He finally got it out of his system and is ready to go to work. You perhaps know all about Auto Day in Decatur December 30 by this time. Help make it a winner. If it is there will be more and every body will be happier. Next Thursday is Thaksgiving Day and among the other things to to profoundly thankful for is the undisputed fact that there are other foods than turkey that will fill the platter. The steel trust has made the statement that they have decided to increase the pay of each of their 200.000 employes ten per cent beginning ■with December, which means an increase in their pay roll of twenty million dollars a year and this following the re-election of President Wilson, Evidently Mr. Gary is not much alarmed about the future. While the republicans are regretting the tact that the election was so close they may find consolation in the fact that they came near getting the worst defeat in history. Mr. Wilson carried thirty one states and reduced the majority in many of the old stand pat states to a minimum. His 400,000 majority of the popular vote can be distributed to carry nearly all the remaining seventeen states. Now that the election is over and Mr. Hughes has sent his congratulatory message and President Wilson has given reply, lets get to work. Lets put on a campaign for Decatur and Adams county, one that we can all agree upon the issues, on? The most noticeab’e feature of the new fall Society Brand Suits for men is their dressiness!

Then we can give a ratification that will reach from conny ty line to county line and in which t every man woman and child can and will participate. ' ’ i 1 ■ I Will the republicans ever conclude the inquest? It wasn't this or that ’ republican committeeman or camJ paign blunder that lost them Califor- . nia and Ohio. It wasn’t woman suf- , frage that beat them in Washington and Utah, and Idaho and Montana, t I and so forth. Woodrow Wilson is the culprit all over the map. Why not admit it and stop scolding.—New ‘ York Times. i No greater mistake can be made than to accept the belief that the democratic party was fortunate in se1 curing a majority of the electoral voted through a lucky distribution of ballots. Quite the reverse is the true condition. Eight states were tarried for Hughes in which the amount of the combined pluralities was but 33,000. These states had a total of sixtyone votes, and were Connecticut, Delaware, Indiana. Maine, Minnesota, Rhode Island, South Dakota and West Virginia. Had there been a shift of 17,000 votes in them from Hughes to Wilson the president would have 337 units of the electoral college and Judge Hughes but 194. As has been very well said by a student of political conditions, Judge Hughes has had a very narrow escape from a mortifying disaster, and the republican party should felicitate itself upon the brave showing it made with so few votes. When it is considered that the president got the largest popular vote ever cast for a candidate for his offive it will be seen that he really suffered by reason of the checks and balances of the electoral plan.—Cincinnati Enquirer.

wuOLD HAVE MEANT'MUCH i r England Offered to Trade Gibraltar > for Florida, but the Deal Was Not Made. You know that for everlasting stability and stubborn resistance there is nothing In the world like Gibraltar. Did you ever hear of a curious little bargain, which was never couaummated. but In which that great rock at the mouth of She Mediterranean fig- , nred as part of the price? It had to do with an Important part of our country, and yet it Is seldom mentioned in nny of our histories, says n writer In the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. The impregnable fortress was fought over by the Spaniards and the Moors for two centuries, and it came in for the keen Interest of Oliver Cromwell, who thundered at the British the fact that If they ever hoped to become the dominating sea power of the world they must control the Mediterranean from Gibraltar. This great necessity was never lost sight of, but a suitable pretext did not arise until the war of the Spanish succession, when England and France were at each other's throat for the mastery of Europe. Under Admiral Sir George Brooks the British fleet made an unexpected attack on the Spanish defenses and captured Gibraltar in 1704. Presently the English sickened of their bargain. That was long before the digging of the Suez canal by the Frenc b and the Egyptians, and the cost of maintaining the rocky fortress appeared to be out of all proportion to its worth. When Spain was approached by Napoleon for the purchase of Florida, as a blow at England from the western theater of the Anglo-French war. England offered to trade Gibraltar for Florida. Had the trade taken place, England would not have become the mistress of the sea. Climalene prevents that high water line in vour bath tub. » Gall Stones.
