Entered at the postofflee in Decatur, Indiana, as second-class matter. For several months the President's opponents have had a sort of “open season” of criticism of him and his policies and proposals. While he was busy in the solution of the world's biggest problem a large number of his fellow countrymen were engaged in the easiest of all tasks —finding fault So mean and petty and spiteful has been some of this carping that one can hardly escape believing its authors would have found as much satisfaction in his failure, (if he had failed;, as other more patriotic Americans have derived from his ■successes. But a few weeks hence the President is to tour the country and meet friends and foes face to face and give the American people an account of his stewardship. He will at the same time doubtless as- , ford them some understanding of the tremendous difficulties that confronted him in the Peace Conference and submit to them the greatest -of all modern achievements in statesmanship—the League of Nations. Those who have misunderstood, those who have judged hasi’ly and those who have been inisl.d will have the truth from the Presidents lips, and will be convinced. Only the partisan and the narrow traditionalist may be expected to remain proof against facts and reason. A sanitorium for the treatment of tuberculosis is not a thing over which there even should be a moments hesitancy. Os all the efforts we have made, none seem so important to us as this provision to care for those stricken with this heretofore incurable disease. We are assured that if taken in time it can be cured and the life of the patient saved. That's enough for us. We're for it and we believe every gbed citizen will be. Let there be no doubt as to the position of Adams county in this matter. Tlie democratic editors will meet at Fort Wayne tomorrow and Friday. Among the guests of honor will be the great secretary of the navy Josei Light Weight | I Trousers j $ We have a dandy line I | of summer trousers at 1 I the popular prices for I | every day wear or for I | dress.

' * pints Daniels, whose record during the recent war is one that will stand t the test of all time. It is especially fitting that he be so honored for he r is an able newspaper man himself 'and his words will be weighed by every one who hears him. The meeing r promises to be enjoyable as well as helpful. The easiest thing in the world is 1 to find is a fault finder and the natl ural inclination of people and newst papers is to do that. It takes more ■ nerve and a lot of natural optimism to look for the bright side every day, but it pays in the long run. Helpful suggestions go further than petty snarls and a happy, pull together community is a better asset than a grouchy, “get ever with the other fellow” crowd. Opposing the organization of a third party in 1912, Governor Osborn, Republican, of Michigan, said: “I am of the opinion that there is no neces-' sity for a new party. The issue is clearly coined for the people. It is Wall street versus Wilson.” What the Michigan governor said in 1912 is clearly apropos in 1919. Old Glory will wave Friday and the celebrations while not so loud or expensive as in years past, will contain more real enthusiasm and more respect for the flag titan for many years. This should be a regular Fourth of July. SOCIETY Club Calendar Wednesday. Concord Aid —Mrs. Sherman Kunkel.

FACE THE SUN Don't hunt after trouble, but look for success; You’ll find what you look for; don't look for distress. If you see but your shadow, remember, I pray, That the sun is still shining, but you’re in the way. Don't grumble, don’t bluster, don't dream and don't shirk, Don’t think of your worries, but think of your work. • The worries will vanish, the work will be done; No man sees his shadow who faces the sun.—Exchange. COUNT THAT DAY LOST If we sit down at set of sun. And count the things that we have done. And. counting, find One self-denying act, one word That eased the heart of him who heard. One glance most kind That fell like sunshine where it went, Then we may count that day well spent. But if through all the live-long day, We’ve eased no heart by yea or nay; If through it all We've done no thing that we can trace, ’ That brought no sunshine to a face, | No act most small helped some soul, and nothing cost. (Then count that day as worse than last. —Anonymous. Miss Christene Spofford ."of Bos- • .ton, Mans., is here for an extended , I visit with Miss Dorethy Dugan. The

IMPROVING THE STREET The force of men under Michael Miller are moving right along with the work of tearing up the traction line and replacing the buck. They have now reached, Jefferson street and the work is slower now because they must also remove the ties. Opinion as to whether this is necessary is divided and there are some who contend that the street would be ! smoother and just as substantial if the ties were not taken up, while others believe not. The council held that the contract as made for the removal of the ties should be carried cut. The street from Jefferson south is complete and Mr. Miliar and hit 1 men have certainly done an excelled ( Job. The street is greatly improved i ARRIVED LAST NIGHT Father Vincent Ehinger. of th< Passionate order, arr^ed'in this cit; 1 late last night from Louisville, Ky .'where he had been located, for a vis e it with his parents.
