Entered at the postofflce in Decatur, Indiana, as second-class matter. The committee will make another trip to Indianapolis tomorrow to present the merits of the petition for the right to erect a new power plant. Os course it costs something but it's the law and we can't proceed without tlie o. k. of the public service commission and tax board. The county council has appropriated S6OO for an increase in the salary of the county superintendent and they did it without any argument, realizing the necessity of the expenditure. We believe the commissioners will prove just as progressive. It’s small enough but it helps. The Bepne Witness is right out m the open now, the words “Independent Republican” appearing at the head of their editorial column. This doesn't mean they have changed in any way and the only camouflage left in the title is the word “independent.” The announcement is to preclude any controversy as to their right to publish legal advertising. Now you know •where “they are at.” A list of rooms sucient to take care of three hundred people has been obtained up to date and the canvass it not complete. It is believed that five hundred people can be taken care of with rooms if necessary. We believe every room and more will be needed during the next few months and extra houses besides. The fact that we have so much room is the best arguI There is a reason why people buy DR.

A few men cannot build a city. If you can criticize why not attend the meeting and advise. A united five thousand people can make progress. If you believe in your goods, your customers will, if you believe in your town, the rest of the world will. Big things are ahead of us if we reach out and we sure are “g’wine” reach. And talking about democratic candidates for president Governor Jimmy Cox of Ohio is in the running and if he isn't knived at home he will give them all a good run for their money. He has a record as governor, business man and newspaper publisher that will stand investigation. He does things, big things, and does them well. He holds his bead and stays on nis feet and is a fighter. He would prove a strong candidate and an excellent chief executive. His address at«the Washington meeting recently was one of the good ones. If you want the Daily Democrat at the old price of three dollars per year, and we hope you do, you must pay in advance and pay during the next month. After that we can't guarantee the price. You know that the cost of every thing has been jumping and still has the kangaroo movement. We will try our best to hold it down but perhaps we can’t. Renew now' and tell your friends to subscribe. We would like to boost our list to 4,000. The republican press is not play- j ing up the statement made by Mr. ] Bryan at the Jackson day meeting I in Washington, that the treaty and j league of nation covenant which . President. Wilson brought back from Paris was even better than any oue expected. There's a reason. They w-ould like to have a split in the democratic party and they think by pub- 1 lishing fake stories they can start 1 something. There is nothing doing, j There will sure be a division in the t g. o. p. ranks however unless they t manage to get Lodge reversed and t do something with the treaty.

THE PRIVILEGE OF WEALTHY AMERICANS it is right that those who, by im proving the business opportunities that this country in the lust twenty five or thirty or forty years has offer ed. have been able to profit enormous ly should divide that which they havi gained with those equally meritorious who having been applying their ener gies in another but no less usefu field. The broad, catholic character of Mr Frick’s gifts is impressive. So far as his will has been report 5 ed he left the income of the funds tc f be spent for the general purposes ol the institutions which were the object oof his benefaction, confident that , those engaged in administering their affairs -would know better than he possibly could for what specific purpose the money that he so lavishly • gave them could be used. i The gift of Mr. Frick comes just . now at an appropriate time to cap the solicitation of funds to raise salaries in Princeton and Harvard and the Massachusetts School of Technology. The whole world of education congratulates those great schools of i learning and their oot'ficers and faculties on this well deserved tribute to their standing and this substantial aid to their usefulness. —New York Herald.

” — I •BORN of FIRE and BLOOD” Officer Telle of ClrcumettiW* U” l *’ Which Colonel McCrea Wrote ••In Flandere FleWa." ••In Flandero Fields.'' to quote the ,' words of Major General Morrison, who i commanded the brigade so which LWtenant Colonel McCrea w»e attached at the time, "was literally born of fire and blood during the hottest phase of the second battle of Ypres. •My headquarters were In a trench on the top of the bank of the 7 pres canal; and John had hfs dressing station in a hole dug In the foot of the bank. During peri ode of the battle men who were shot actually rolled j down the bank Into hts dressing sta- | tlon. Along from us a few hundred yards was the headquarters of a regiment, and many times during the 19 days of the battle, he and I watched them burying their dead whenever there was a lull. Thus the crosses, row on row. grew into a good-sized

row on jpew _ . cemetery. “Jost as he describes, we often heard the larks singing high in the air, between the crash of the shell and the f reports of the guns In the battery Just I, heslde us.

Though Chinese education is gradually undergoing change, candidates 1 for the title of mandarin still gather ' at three-year intervals in Chinese ett- • les, and the examiners sit in their robes of state under their umbrellas t and conduct the examinations. Many of the younger generation nowadays have imbibed a western idea ■ of education; but many still begin with > the Book of Three Characters, the > Book of a Hundred Fffrallies and the Book of a Thousand Words, and pur- , sue an educational system that is held to be more than 30 centurfas old. to ’ the ultimate triumph of Ttecnmtng mandarins and enjoying the ceremonial , honors, distinctive costume and an In- , dividual reputation for wlsdstu and learning, that go with the title. The examination consists In the writing of philosophical and political essays, ext position of the sayings of Confne'ua, t commenting on Chinese texts and the composition of sentences and maxims in prose and verse. The number of candidates at such examinations still counts up into the thousands. Sometimes their failures, one might say, in the phrase with • which western editors return ambf--3 tlous contributions, have been “due to no lack of merit.” for the number of vacancies to be filled at any one time In the list of mandarins is very small compared with the number of candl- ' dates.—Christian Science Monitor. Ponds Like Poole of Ink. 1 In cross-country flying, clear. qule»-'| [ cent ponds of water are usually the darkest areas in the landscape. Often . they appear like pools of ink and their - relative brightness is much less than I that of black velvet. This Is easily explained. The water is perfectly dear and the bottom is black and porous. Little or no light Is reflected • except from the surface. i Incidentally a pond of this type provides the best mirror in the landscape, for Its background is almost perfectly dark, which Is not the case for turbid water. If one watches very carefully he can detect the Image of the airplane reflected In the water without difficulty at 2.00 Ror .1.000 feet. This gives a true vertical line which mav he of use on some occasions. At least observation of this image gives * record of the horizontal speed regardless of other movements of the airplane. 5 —M.

Hsrveat and Hunter'* Mean. The full moon nearest the autumnal equinox (September 22) is known as the ‘ harvest moon.” Owing to the oc- . currence of minimum retardation In the time of rising at that period, this moon rises at nearly the same time on several successive nights. It. rises early and gives the husbandmen who have boon wfeyin- all day an opportunity to gather their crops, hence its mime. The ‘‘hunter's moon" Is the moon following the ‘‘harvest moon.” The occasion for its name Is obvious. It occur? at the season of the year when the country youth, the harvest having been gathered, slings Ms gun o\er his shoulder and wanders through the wood* in search of ths gray squirrel and other larger game.
