Tomorrow will be another redletter day in the history of Decatur, for forty-two young mon j belonging thereto or to the ' near vicinity, will leave fort Fort Zachary Taylor, for Instruction in the rudiments of war, prior to movement to the actual war arena in noriawestern France. These forty-two men, with others before and to follow' according to war department requirements, will be this community’s offer- • ing to the cause of World Democracy vs. Prussian Kultur. and Decatur and Adams county are proud of the number of fighting units they have raised without undue effort. From more' than one official or unofficial source 1 come hints that the war will not end i soon, but that the probabilities are | that it will last three years more. If) so, every man now enlisted, barring I unforeseen accidents in the meantime' will see service at the front. Our boys ' will not only preserve their country and the world from a military despotism of'the worst character, but they will have the everlasting gratitude of France by helping to restore to her the fair lands of Alsace and Lorraine wrested from her by the tyrant hand I of Bismarck, the mouthpiece of tlib-j Hcbenzollerns, nearly half a century ago. Glorious work this. A war the end of which is not conquest, the acquisition of territory, of loot, but the righting of wrongs nearly half a century old and the bringing to book a ’kaiser ] and a military and industrial clique whose hands are stained with the

ROB At the northern Indiana editorial association meeting which was held !n .Wabash Friday and Saturday, two > candidates for governor were brought forward and both from the same city. Anderson, and both editors. They are Pale J. Crittenberger and Ed C. | Toner. It may be said for Mr. Critthat he made one of the , best state auditors the state ever had. [and he has proved that he is big [enough for governor. Mr. Toner has | been prominent in politics since the , bull moose movement and was always one of the main councilors, be has many friends over the state who will be "fer” him.

YOUR SUNDAY ROAST. Probabilities Are That Horse Flesh Might be Used. (United Press Service) 'lndianapolis, Ind.. Sept. 20 —(Special to Daily Democrat) -The probability that horse flesh will become a food for general use was discussed by Dr. H. E. Barnard, pure food commissioner for Indiana, today. He said: “Horse flesh became a popular food during the siege of Paris. The French have been eating it and liking it ever since. The present food scarcity puts every housewife in a state of siege and one by one the opponents of the use of horse meat are reaching the conclusion that there is no reason why the flesh of the horse should not be used as human food. “Charles Grimmer, the president 'of the United Master Butchers of America, and Horace Hoskins, the dean of the State Veterinary college. have issued a statement in which they say that they have been converted to the use of horse flesh as a food and believe that the American people ought to be educated to its use in this time of food scarcity. The statement is as follows: “ ‘At this particular time when the problem is so difficult and gives certain promise of becoming increasingly hard to solve, there is every reason why the use of horse flesh as food should be urged. We have got to feed all Europe, and we still must keep enough over to feed ourselves. Why shouldn’t we take a food we have right at our hands that could relieve the situation tremendously? “ 'Some people may rebel at the idea of eating horse flesh. Did they ever stop to consider that the horse . will not eat food that is not clean? . Just try to give a horse water froma pail that is dirty, or oats in a pail or manger that is foul. You will find that you cannot do it, no matter how • hungry or thirty the horse may be. “'I look confidently to the time when the government will take a stand on this. Os course, horse flesh should bp surrounded with the same safeguards that now obtain with our other meats. It must be government inspected and passed and it must at all times be under proper regula-': tious. ■

THE WORLD SERIES (United Tress Service) Cincinnati, Sept. 20—(Special to Daily Democrat)— The arrangements i for the 1917 world series will not be made before tomorrow, if then. This seemed certain when the members of the national commission got together here today in their annual draft meeting which this year will be combined with the world series session. Because the White Sox and Gian's have not yet cinched the pennants the commissioners think they had better wait a day or two before making the arrangements for the clash between these clubs. Today’s meeting was scheduled to start at 11 a. m. and the first business to be taken up will be the work of arranging an Ohio championship series between the Cincinnati and Cleveland clubs. After this has been completed the annual draft of minor league players by the big league clubs will be in order. INDIANA WOMEN CAN VOTE. Right to Vote for President is Not Taken Away. Mrs. J. 8. Peterson, county chairman of the Woman’s Franchise League, has received from the state president, Mrs. Richard Evans, the following: “A Marion county judge has held the partial suffrage law unconstitutional. but this decision is not final. In Illinois the lower courts decided against a similar law but the supreme court reversed that decision, and upheld the law. In any event Indiana women can still vote for president. Indiana courts can not take away the right of presidential suffrage when granted by a state legislature. The United States supreme court has so ruled. “Increase your local suffrage ac-| tivcities and show in every way the 1 strength of suffrage sentiment in your community that the supreme court may realize the extent of suffrage interest in Indiana." o — A BASKET DINNER For Joint S. S. Institute Saturday at Salem Church. A basket dinner will be held Saturday at Salem Evangelical church when the Root, Union and St. Marys townships Sunday school joint institute will be held.
