Entered at the postoffice in Decatur, Indiana, as second-class matter. Peace after ”a long struggle in which the world came near tumbling about our ears, comes now and is very sweet. The senate will perhaps go on discussing the war and finding fault and opposing every proposition tending to make the provisions fought tor so long helpful to our people, but the great majority of the people of this and other countries are beginning to realize something of the importance of the peace conference and the wonderful work done by the men who fought for a new era in civilization. Bob Tucker says the Goodrich chickens have come home to roost and that it is now admitted that the great bluff Mr. Goodrich put up when he toured the state against John Adair in 1916. telling how he would save the tax payers so much money v.as a mistake. The trouble is it’s a little late to find it out and we have the tax and road law and some others to worry along with while the various institutions have been so embarrassed that it's going to take some tall figuring to help them out. • There is a probability that Decatur will have an opportunity to secure a good industry. It will take some effort and some work but we believe it can be done if every one who can gives it his honest backing. Every man, woman and child in this community can be and ought to be a booster. That's the to put things I over. , President Wilson is homewardi bound and within a few days he will be on the job at Washington, much to the relief of many who realizing the necessity for his visit to France, also felt that he was needed at homo. The days ahead are important, there are. many big problems to be solved and the next year will not lack in interesting events. Don’t quit boosting for the tuberculosis hospital. We need it and the cause is one of the best you were ever asked to aid.
