Entered at the postoffice in Decatur, Indiana, as second class matter. The Virginian makes the sensible and commendable suggestion that one of the first things the United States government should do is to print a pamphlet with a complete list of the overseas casualties, arranged by states and subdivisions of states. We cannot immediately erect monuments to the boys who made the supreme sacrifice, but we can at least make a permanent record of their service in such form as to be readily available for reference by all who may be interested.—Goshen Democrat, We believe the people in Decatur are anxious for a step forward, want a share in the reconstruction progress and they favor the organization of our people so that we can derive the greatest benefit. This was shown last night when a body of business men who happened to get together took the preliminary steps. Within a few days a meeting will be called and every man be he merchant, manufacturer, laborer, clerk, farmer or professional man should attend, not with the idea of finding fault but with the hope and desire to help make the movement a success. We can do some things worth while if the community will agree, will lay aside personal grievances, supposed or real, buckle in, forget the past and look ahead. We do not favor a social club, but a strictly business Chamber of Commerce made of men from every walk of life, with dues so small that any person who wants to can belong. We should have sub-committees to look after the various problems that come up and the men named on those committees should do the task assigned. We can do it if you will help. Will you? J. W. Walker, representative for Adams county is a conscientous servant and is anxious to represent a majority of our people. To do that hi> is entitled to your opinion. He today expresses his ideas of the tax law and highway law as proposed. We believe these bills will work a hardship on the people. If you think so, tell Mr. Walker. If you have a different idea tell him so. In no other way can he represent you.
