Entered at the postoffice in Decatur. Indiana, as second-class matter. The one hundred dollar subscription to the gym fund in memory of Robert Kalver carries with it much sentiment for Bob was a popular classmate and would have been a lead er in the sport now being enjoyed by the boys and girls of Decatur had he lived. His parents realizing that fact have thus substantially aided the other young people of Decatur, given hearty support to the fund and helped to produce the spirit necessary to make this worthy project a success. Word from back home has begun to reach the senators in Washington and they are even at this early date trimming sails. A number of those who for political purpose declared opposition to every thing that President Wilson stood for, now assert their belief that the league is right but thi y oppose the constitution adopted. Among these are New and Watson of Indiana who watching the tide with their ear to the ground have said nothing for several days. If they are wise they will fall in behind Former President Taft and stand for that side of the great and grave question which is for the greatest good for the greatest number, regardless of its political effect. —M—M»W—W——l *M We admire the position now being taken by William Howard Taft, former president of the United States, federal judge, governor of the Philipines and admitted leader and thinker of this nation. As he stated recently he is a republican in politics and expects to so continue but his politics ends at the Atlantic and he is now giving of his great talent and ability that the league of nations may become a reality, that future wars be Unheard of and that the people he loves may live in security and happiness, that a document similar to the constitution of the United States may be written for the whole world. Com- ' pare his record of the past few weeks to that of Senator Borah. The latter , refused to even take dinner with i President Wilson while the former will discuss the problems of greatest interest at this time from the same * platform and at the same meeting ( with the president.
