Entered at the postofflee at Deca tur, Indiana, as second-'lass mattt TOM TAGGART AND McCULLOCH:— With his usual chivalry, Tom Tag gart emerges from defeat, smiling wihtout bitterness or complaint, to congratulate his opponent and to ex press his best wishes for the administration of Mr. Harding. Senatoi Watson, the victor, who could wei afford to be quite as (courteous and kindly, runs true to form with a snap pish insult at the present president of the United States. But we would prefer the attitude of Mr. Taggart Caring little for the senatorship, loth to sacrifice his time and business interests and endanger his health to make the race, he made an honest and sincere effort to stay out. But when he found that his party's cal was insistent he responded like thf true soldier that he has always been He goes through the contest withou’ a stain of dishonor on his sword. H< made no personal attacks. He uttered no unkindly thought. And while warmly supporting rhe league of na ti ns he refused t > follow the exampit of his opponent in abuse of men and women who vote upon the other side. He made a remarkable race—astonishing most of his friends. He has made new friends, lost no old ones and has earned the respect of all. Dr. McCulloch made a splendi< race for governor, dedicating all hi: time and strength to a thorough can vass of the state, and in norma times he would have been elected. Like Taggart he was a victim of cir cumstames. But the democracy o. Indiana may well congratulate itself on having hail as leaders in the state campaign two men who honor the proud old name of "gentleman.”— Fort Wayne Journal Gazette. The gym season will open shortly and those in charge are making every effort to make this the happiest year in all history for the school boy: and girls of Decatur. There'is noth lug selfish about their work but they realize that all work and no play mak'-s Jack dull. There is no doubt that the better the school spirit, the better ••('suits are obtained. The gyn: should have the support, of every citizen. Let’s pay off the debt, complete the improvements and make the gym a r.-'il place for the youngsters. It may - cm foolish to you but it’s one <■:' tiie most important things of any community- how do we provide foi t ! ie boys and girls in such away as to keep their sports clean and wholesome? Your assistance is needed and desired. ( x There is more rejoicing in England over th" defeat of the league than these is in this country. During the campaign you were told it was a •’-rft- li league. Well it wasn't for it never did suit them. They didn’t have their own way. The United States was th® "big show" /if the lee.gue though every line was fair to every nation. England doesn’t want that. They want the best of it and will probably get it the next time You will wonder often in the future why we didn't have sense enough to accept the great Versailles league foi we will never have an opportunity to get another as good tor all the world, including Germany and the United States. ' The Christmas season approaches. Tn the business men of the community wo recommend a liberal use of the Daily Democrat columns. Those who have tried this arc the first to acknowledge that it is the best investment they can make. We reach more than three thousand homes in ■

[’ this county, which means that almost •ceiv man. woman and child will get your message. Be sure to put in your ). display the announcements that will t . attract, remembering that the words >• and style of your advertisement J. means much as to the returns. In a statement yesterday, Senator s Harding, the president-elect, said the F league of nations is dead and then c hr fore the people have the opportun- •’ itv to digest, that he Issues another I t| message in which he says he is call-! ing together the brightest minds of i [ the country to plan for another one. - if they leave out the fourteen points' i they won’t have a league and it they „ write another one, just mark it down. it will not compare for quality to the; me they now plan to scrap. Let's start in Monday to make DeL atur and Adams county a better 11 place in which to live. There are a number of things that must be done '■ tnd the peopte who live here are the ' mes to do them. A friendly feeling among us all as citizens will be one big step. Co-operation counts fori ’ much and combined with a good cup 1 "till of “hustle” will advance us a ong ways during the next few months. Election week is over, the smoke a has cleared, the verdict has Been t v rilten and read, let's get down to •msiness and the time will roll 'round quickly. Sentiment changes E vapidly in this nation and no political >arty can long have its own way. We have often wondered how Jess Willard felt after he got that “knock nit’” in Toledo and now those who ought for world democracy, have i .bout the same sick smile. 1 atalogs Are issued for School of Auctioneering (Continued from page one I nany trips daily to the Reppert ofice, asking information over the wire.

And Mr. Puppy was also young and he did not know that when he saw a rat he should not begin to bark and Jump about. Umy morning when Mr. Puppy was asleep on the floor of the barn near the door he happened to open one eye suddenly, and there in the corner of the barn was Mr. Young Rat, nibbling I corn.

Over the barrels and over bags of grain they went, Mr. Rat always far ahead of Mr. Puppy, and just as he I came to the door Mr. Rat ran out in the yard. After him went Mr. Puppy.

Under the gate went Mr. Rat, and under went Mr. Puppy, and down the road they ran until they came to the woods and there Mr. Puppy lost him. “Oh, dear, I am all out of breath," safd Mr. Puppy, and down he dropped and went to sleep in the sun by a big rock. When Mr. Rat found out no one was chasing him he ran out from under a btmh and looked around. "Tired him out,” laughed Mr. Rat when he saw Mr. Puppy asleep.

THE GREAT ANNIVERSARY

At Cleveland the Legion asked ( | congress to make November 11 a na- s jtional holiday. What veteran fails to see the eminent fitness of that re- - quest? The anniversary of the day i I when, by the efforts of our forces a- j i field and afloat and of our loyal toil- 1 I ers at home, the nation came victor- i j iously from the greatest of wars, i I j shell ever be an occasion for patriotic i manifestations by which we shall re- i I new those holy vows of fealty to God and country which inspired us in 1918. j The American Legion claims no i ' nonopoly on loyalty, but the nation : . has a right to expect and does expect that it shall take the lead in the for- , 1 mal observance of occasions like I Armistice Day. We are a nation of I communities, and the rallying point of loyal sentiment in commun- , ity must be the local legion, post. 1 Four months ago national headquarters suggested the formal presentation of Victory medals, which the legion has been helping the government distribute. No more appropriate motive for an Armistice Day
