Entered at the postoffice in Decatur, Indiana, as second-class matter. President Wilson is evidently not a candidate for the nomination for a third term if his remarks at a recent dinner given for the president-elect of Brazil are to be the thermometer. In this he expresses pleasure that his presidency is not ahead and we do not doubt that he has found the seven years now in history the most strenuous and tiresome of his eventful career. We quote from his speceh: “It is very evident, for one thing, if I must say so, to know that my presidency is not ahead of me. I wish him every happiness ‘and every success with the greatest earnestness, and yet I cannot, if I may judge by my own experience, expect for him a very great exhiliaration in the performance of the duties of his office, because, after all, to be the head of an American state is a task of unrelieved responsibility.” * 1 . 1 '

i The more than a hundred bankers ‘ of northeastern Indiana who met here yesterday were delighted with Deca tur and the treatment given them and said so. These events go a great 1 ways in advertising a community and f the effort made by the local committee, by the ladles of the Pythian Sisters’ lodge, and by all who did their best to show a hospitable hand to the i guests deserve due credit. It pays to ) advertise and the very best way to i do this for a city is to give the * “Glad you cum" hand to those who visit us, I * i Th© bankers of group one honored Charles A. Dugan at the annual meeting held here yesterday by electing him chairman for the ensuing year, Mr. Dugan is cashier of the First National bank, Decatur, and is in every way the right man. Besides being an excellent banker he is one of the best fellows in the world and as a presiding officer will, we know, prove popular. We congratulate the bankers upon their selection. The new athletic hall is a commun- | ity house and will soon be so recognized. It will be constantly in use and will prove a great place for all kinds of meetings which are for the good of every one here. It should be the desire of every person in Decatur that this hall be further improved and paid for. Won’t you boost ft? The people are responding cheerfully and liberally to the appeal of the Salvation Army for $3,300 from this county. The work done in peacetime and war-time by this organization is well known and it is right that they be given the funds with which

(United Press Service) London, May 29 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —With all the ancient cere menials, the Prince of Wales was today admitted to the ‘“Freedom of the City of London.” Members of the royal house can claim the freedom as a right, but it is never done, and the bestowal of this, the city's highest . civic honor, is far less common in the ease of royalty than of distinguished “commoners.” The ceremony was made the occa- j slon. fcr an imposing military and civic show, the Prince driving, escorted by cavalry, to the Guildhall, where he was received in state by Lord ) Mayor Sir Horace Marshall. A guard of honor of the Honorable Artillery ’j Company, (the city’s pet “Guards”) rendered royal salutes, and the City f Trumpeters, in and gold , sounded a fanfare. s • l‘> T m ? rinCe arrtved punctu ally at 0 p. m. and was Conducted by the ’ lewd mayor, the cHy chambmlain me ; to y t h © arSha ’n an<l °’ hPT .to the council chamber, where the . members of the council and the court! ,of aidermen were assembled The ; parchment certificate of freedom was 1 thein a handsome gilt frame.

She suffered from the flu twice this ■ winter and also from pneumonia, and now with appendicitis. Mrs, T. M. Reid returned from Fort Wayne where she spent several days with her sister, Mrs. Nellie Boyeles, who is recovering from an operation for goitre, Mrs. Boyeles was quite bad at one time,' but is now getting i along nicely.

DEFENDS U. S. FROM DEPUTY’S CHARGES. (United Press Service) Rio Janeiro. May 17 —(By Cable to New York) —The newspaper Razao today took issue with the elements that are fostering anti-American agitation in Brazil. Referring to the speech of Deputy Mauricio Lacerda in the chamber yesterday. the Razao said: “We do not approve of Lacerda’s support of agitation against the United States, which was begun by Ma-1 deiros Albuquerque, who. using his I journalistic prerogatives, launched ac-; cusations against that nation which 1 has always been a friend of Brazil. “Albuquerque is a private citizen and is unable to create difficulties. However, the deputy’s oppostition to France’s transfer of her Brazilian j loans to the United States changes) the aspect of the case. It is absurd; to deny the right of England and i France to transfer their loans. Thej war has changed financial dominion] from London to New York. Transfer of the loan is to our advantage be-1 cause it is against the interests of the United States to lower the value x.!Tkjsz ly ND.RG ;7a-myC lbweffp of Brazilian money, since we would be obliged to overpay for «heir products and they would have to overpay for ours. Knowing the critical financial conditions in Europe, transfer of ( the Brazilian loans to the United States is wise and reflects credit on Brazil’s financial standing.” The Razao ridiculed the charges of American imperialism, declaring that Brazil is not threatened with conquest Among other things .Lacerda declared in his speech that sincerity of the Monroe Doctrine must commence with cancellation of international expension and restoration of California and Texas to Mexico. “If the doctrine defends America from Europe, who will defend America from America?” he asked. "American capital is aggressive and the dollar has always been guarded by cannons. This is proven in Mexico, where dollar expension has undermined the’ government, systematically destroying autonomy. Transfer of our debts to the United States would place Brazil under the threat of aggressive protection.” CRITICISM ENOUGH. “This scenario,” said the eager author. “is about a girl who waited for months for a letter of forgiveness from her lover and then married another man who—” “Wait a minute,” exclaimed the movie manager. J “What's the matter? Too old?” "No. Too modern. We’re not going to roast the government. The postofficc has had criticism enough. ‘ —Washington Star. Attorney Frank M.
