Entered at the Postottice in Decatur, Indiana, as second-class matter. One tiling is certain the republics:!" will have U> get a lot of votes from somewhere that they didn't gi t Tuesday if they put over ally of their v.rididntes next November. Oli. horrors, some one has discov ered that the Australian law under which we have been voting for manv years, provides that when a man vote, the booth must he so constructed that his legs may be visible to the knees, and some immodest and impertinent cuss now wants to know if the sam" law effects the women and if it dm", if they still want to vott< Charles Jewett won the Indiana] >■ lis nomination for mayor over I, w Shank,* by less than a thousand, not such a victory when it is consider, .I that Jewett was backed hy the republican papers of that city as well as til - organization Shank will contest and il beaten says h$ will- run independ-. ent. We still maintain that the only way out is to elect Pick Miller. Wheeling citizens who had boost d Bob I-a Follette for a lecture tins week cancelled the engagement though it cost them S3OO to do and in doing so gave notice that none but Americans of the real "blown in the bottle brand" need apply. It is likely that tlie twelve senators who took part in the recent filibuster will lie informed in more ways than one what their fellow citizens think of them. Maurice Niezer. who was nominated by the democrats of Port Wayne for mayor, is a favorite here where lie is well known and they are confident that he will not only win the honor he is seeking but that he will give ins city an administration of real won 1 ) and merit. He is capable, a good business man and a high class candidate and his popularity was shown in the vote given him in the primary -■ e- •' 11. I). Johnson was defeated at Tues- , day's primary and W. F. Hodges wis , nominated. The nsual charges ,»• fraud, lack of ballots and one thine , or another are being made. It looks from here as though the mayor had one put over on him and it is likelv that his indictment by the federrl grand jury also effected the result. ;

1 Ills friends here are still iuyal, believe - In- will come back stronger than ever 1 knd that be will still be u power In his city and state. t The new ruling by the postollhe department that the selection of post masters shall be made after a com jietitlve examination has been conducted. and the places awarded Io . those making the highest grade is a J 4 rather startling one and one that will ) be opiaised more or less viciously ’ Under tin civil service rule the three 1 receiving the highest grades are selected and the names returned to the ' local postmaster who is thus given a . right to choose, usually resulting in . the selection of a matt of the political faith of flu party In power. Under ta • rule just annoum d ■ r first, second and third class po-tm ;er . however. the one securing : ■ highest grade, regardless ol®politics or political influence, would be named. The next thing on the tirogram is the way of an election is that for <!< 1gates to the constitutional convent lo t to be held in September, and the voters of Adams county never voted on a more important subject'. Thman this count? sends to that convention should be a thinker, a conservative. safe and sane citizen who realizes that upon the result* of the work of that convention, it' approve I by the people, rusts every decision of the supreme court. Our children's children will probably the new constitution and the men who ’h%!M it. should be the biggest ;.:il llrainest men of each community. Men and women who vote on this subject should lay aside personal feelings and vote for the man- who is best fitted to aid in writing a constitution tlv.t will stand the test of time. Are you good at figures’ Well then figure out what per cent, you will make if you invest two dollars m garden seeds and secure prodm-■*' therefrom that would cost you forty dollars. You can do it. Then why not? If we were to tell you of an investment where you could make a thousand per cent, you would grab at it and put your last dollar in. Why not do it then when the returns are sure and when you know that it will pay you big and the mere you garden the more you ci have in the bank at the end of the season. Thrift gardens are the onlyremedy for the high cost of living. Every family in Decatur and in Adams county ought to have a garden this year. If you haven't the ground you can easily secure the privilege of using some one else's vacant lot either at small rent or on shares. Not in some distant land lies the solution of your financial problems, but right in your own back yard. And wbfl« making money you will be getting nearer to God and to each other

celltly defeated. Illumes Ills defetil to the fact that they inn out of hallo's early in the afterhOon of the dtly of the election. This reminded a man today of a similar little stunt pulled off In a local woman's lodge several years age. A woman clamored for admission. .Many of the women mentioned didn't want her In the lodge. They waited on the day of balloting. tnan member of the woman's lodge knew of the animosity held against the wouldbe member. He was a lady's.man. He also loved a little joke. He hid the black balls. On the day of biillotlng. when the unfriendly voters reached forth their hands for tile black balls, 10, there were note. And none did raise a howl. The woman go> in.

"The Prince and the Pauper" is one of the most' dcllghtl'til and thoroughly enjoyable of Mark Twain's many works. *lt is a fllm’tliat will be appreciated by ydung folks of ail hge . for in its merriment and clever humor, with its dashes of dramatic thrills that frequently sweep the spectator off iris feet, as it were, only to replace him with a latlgh, the story combines ail the elements of a great artistic triumph such as can be conceived only by the mind of a rtfaster, and adequately interpreted only by a star of the ti tusual ability of Miss Clark.
