George Harvey, one of the Binged cate of down east politics, is meowing away like blazes over the last election. The fact that Hiram Johnson carried California by 300,000, says George, while Hughes failed to carry it by 3,000 “will hardly be forgotten when the triumphant idol of California shall seek in Washington association with honorable men.” Doubtless, honorable men, like Reed Smoot and Boise Penrose, will snub Hiram, socially and otherwise. But they and Colonel Harvey should be advised that Hiram is a gentleman of strong peculiarities. For one thing, it doesn't require association with anybody, honorable; or otherwise, in order to have a good time, and any self-styled honorable bunch in the senate that imagines that Hiram is going to run after them, will be awfully fooled, early and plenty. It is early in the campaign of 1920 for any element to try to locate Hiram among the "undesirables.” Much depends upon his conduct in the senate during the next four years. He is loved by California because fie does progressive things for the people regardless of party. If he holds fast to this policy, it is quite likely that his carrying California by 300,000, regardless of Hughes’ failure to carry it by anything, will be quite a substantial recommendation. Hiram's great progressive state simply declared that it wouldn't buy a gold brick. If lie feels cut out of association with certain honorable senators because of this, he can find association with the honprable senators from Ohio, Kansas. Nebraska and other “boob” states which also weren't “boob” enough to be worked by the big business purveyors. And then, he may organize a little association of his own. which js quite possible.—South Bend Times. You will meet your old friends hero Saturday afternoon. Come in and shake hands with them, hear the band play and visit the stores. You will have a good time and be glad you Came. Perfect winter weather this, if you please, and the thing to do is to enjoy it while it's here for the next three months may bring a variation that contains everything from sunshine to mud. President Wilson's popular majority over Mr. Hughes was over half a million and he is now a majority president. His vote was over nine WATCH THIS SPACE THEMYERS-DAIUEY COMPANY

p million and was the largest ever giv- =• en any man. The total vote cast was 't by far the largoat over shown in this country, reaching nearly sixteen mily lion. A surprise of the figures is the loss of 150,000 in the socialist vote. it y Os course you are coming to Decatur Saturday. Any way you “auto.” It’s the big special day planned by s the local business men and they have ® arranged a program of bargains and ’ entertainment that will please you. 9 The Decatur merchants are alive and ■ up to the minute. They carry large stocks of goods and they more than meet the prices of the city merchant. Decatur is the best point on the globe • in which to trade and we want everybody within a radius of fifty miles to 1 know it. 1

) . You should aid the state park movement financially. The men and wo- ’ men back of this great work expect 1 to eventually scatter two hundred - beautiful and natural parks over the ' state. Some day Adams county is go- ■ ing to ask for one. We can do it more gracefully if we have met our obligation. At this time Adams county is asked to donate three hundred dollars and we must do it. If you can’t give all of it, any part, even one dollar, will be gladly accepted and will show your willingness of spirit. Governor-elect Goodrich has selected a brown stone front on Meridian street in the most fashionable district of Indianapolis for his dwelling while living in Indianapolis. After hearing his speech on how to feed the patients in the various state institutions on five cents a day, we expected something more modest, but there is nothing too good for the chief executive of the great Hoosier state and we hope Governor Goodrich and his splendid family enjoy to the very limit their four years in the capital, j DOINGS IN SOCIETY H ■212 2 222222222222222222223 P WEEK’S SOCIAL CALENDAR.

REX TODAY. Maciste is Master of the Sterling Drama. Dominating a six-reel feature as not even a Pickford might hope to do. Maciste, the giant of Cabiria, scores mightily in the latest drama from the pen of D’Annunzio and the studios of the Itala Motion Picture Corporation. It is like taking the unexpectedness out of a surprise party to divulge the story of Maciste. Seeing it, the thea-ter-goer is unprepared for developments and is doubly delighted for that very reason. A tense drama, herculean exploits and spectacle go into the making of the success scored before the thousands who viewed the picture in this city. Cabiria is very apt to find the new Maciste, divested of ne groid characteristics, supplanting it in favor as the finished art of the Itala company. BUYS SCHLICKMAN FEED YARD.
