They were never permitted to enjoy the glory won in life, but it remained for the justice of history to enthrone tjieir i mes above the premature graves tc which .in ungrateful populace r*,n- ; signed their bodies and broken spirits. Christ was betrayed by one of his own deciples. The others fled i from him in the crucial moment. | though only the day before they had I proclaimed him the Son-of God. St. Paul was acclaimed a prophet one day and stoned by the same fickle minions of vicious conspirators the next. History such examples. I Al e rica I boasted land of liberty and justice and conscience—aftords few exceptions. Washington ended) his days with a broken heart., cru.-hed by the venom and hate of i political enemies. Lincoln was dis-i credited and despised by the sons i of Belial in his own party who could I not control him. They secretly sc-' joiced at tlie work of the fanatical assassin who struck him down. Woodrow Wilson is but treading the .same thorny path. The never ending chant of the song of hate has done its deadly work. History may be relied upon to write his name upon the scroll of the world's greatest leaders, but it is sad to realize that this is the way of life —the ingratitude of’ hunumity— I and the shame of the race.—The Texarkanian. The protest being made by tl\e city council at Bluffton against the in- < creased tax rates will interest the 1 people of Decatur for it is likely that < any reduction there would be given 1 here. A meeting will be lydd January 13th at Indianapolis to which the ' local managers for the gas company and newspaper men have been invit- < cd and at which it is expected such J information will be furnished as will I ’ , i ! give an understanding of the situstion. At this time we are frank to i • I 1 say we do not know enough about ; the conditions to express an opinion I as to whether or not the new rate is " justified. However the gas-company has always treated the people fair so , far as we know and we believe they ’ will at this time. Mr. Bryan has been invited to confer with Mr. Harding at Marion this v. i l l:.

. is a matter of pride that many carfried with them copies of the Dully Democrat that they could refer to the 'advertisements, a number ht(v‘!ng made up their .lists from the paper.

HENRY FORD PLANS TECHNICAL INSTITUTE Freshmen Will Get Scholarship of Forty Cents an Hour. Henry Ford has announced bls intention to open n technical college in Detroit. It will be known as the Ford institute cf Technology, and its curriculum will embrace those subjects which lead to degrees in mechanical, electrical and'chemical engineering. Outstanding, is Mr. Fords deci .011 to grant monetary scholarships to all students; freshmen will receive scholarships of approximately s2o.ott a week. Rates for advanced students have not yet been announced. Like all Ford ventures, the Ford In-| stitute presents its own deviation from customary s; stems. The school year is divided into two parts.' half of the .time being spent in class, lecture rooms and laboratories, and half in the shons doing actual work under actual ■working conditions. This regiment is so divided that the students’ work alternates every two weeks. The reason for tills claw-to-shop method is given in the school announcement: “The Ford Institute of Technology proposes to give that education which is life, dire.cted by purpose, in order that there need be no 'period of adjustment’ after xradimtion. Theoretical work is supplement cd by experience in practice, ami by contact, with actual conditions in life. Commercial standards relative tc methods and cost of manufacture, srltop organization, aqt uracy. production. and time, are stressed.” The laboratory at the disposal ot students” continues the Ford announcement, "includes tlie Highland Park Plant, the Tractor Plant and Blast ITirnaees at River Rouge, a rail road, a mine, a lumber camp, and many subsidiary operations. Every phase of engineering is covered, not by a mdhger equipment for demonstration and experimental purposebut by millions of dollars' worth ol' ma-hinery and apparatus—all the hitesT word in scientific development.” Although tlie Ford Technical Institute l. as announced but a short time ago ni r ;re than 1000 applications have already been received. Every state in tlie union' has had its applicant; and many letters liave come from Canada. Henry Ford is taking a personal interest in the new school.
