Entered at the post office at Decatur. Indiana, as second-class matter. The strike in England will prove a disastrous event not only tor that country but for this one as well. It will prove another serious setback and may result in a revolution that will wreck that nation. The average wage in England is said to be about six dollars per week which if true makes us wonder how they have even got by this long. Couldn’t do it in some places. The initiation of more than one hundred members into the Knights, of Pythias lodge is a real achieve-, mffnt in lodge circles and places the | Decatur chapter at the top of the i ladder in Pythianism in Indiana. The I lodge is one of the good ones and the convenient and modern home here is the best proof of the progressiveness and substantiality of the local branch. The present growth means that the last cent will be paid on the property and the best of it is their determination to get another similar class ready for next fall. You can't stop an organization propelled by such energy and a community is better for these efforts. A minister in the Elwood conference this week made a grandstand political attack upon the Wilson administration. charging them with the responsibility for the granting of the; beer privilege under medical . prescriptions. Well Mr. Palmer has been out of office since March 4th ' and there has been plenty of time for j the saintly officials whom the minister would exalt, to change it. We | know of no particular reason why the ; ruling couldn't be wiped out with one ' stroke of the pen if the men now in office wish it. Why not be fair J enough to say some thing about that fact? There is a queer brand of politics used by some people, but we don't understand why if a thing is wrong by one official, it isn't just as wrong by ~another.

I Why, then, should Great Britain and I Japan continue the building of navies | and other military preparations? I What reason have they to fear that I 1 their rights in any part of the world 'will be menaced? With the government of the United | ! States paying out approximately 85 j per cent of all its revenues for wars, past and prospective, the idea 'of world disarmament is not likely to | cease to be a subject of earnest consideration by persons who are called upon to bear the burden of taxation. No one who wants the United States to keep her rightful place in world affairs will advocate that this nation abandon all military preparations as ’ long as other great nations continue to increase their navies and prepare ' for military eventualities on land. I Even if the United States were in-, dined to expansion at the expense of ■ other nations, not one of the coun-I tries now engaged in naval construe-1 tion would offer any inducements, for aggrandizement.

It sure had lots of crooks and turns in it but after we passed Arizona th® mountains were not so large any more and when we arrived at Kneedie®, Arf zoea the train stopped a few minutes. Jacob Meyers and I looked out of the window and two big Indian women came to the window. They hud a large bunch of beads and wanted to sell us some, but we didn't bite. They came back the third time. It was about 10:30 p. m. It was very warm in Kneedels; not much air, but after we left uKneedels it soon got some cooler and we went to bed to sleep and slept till morning and everybody got. up early in the morning. After daylight we saw some nice scenery. Pasadina is a beautiful place, about 50,000. There sure are some beautiful homes there. Many different kind of palm trees and many beautiful flo,wers ofall kinds. I saw geraniums lit palmtrees. They grew up) and full of flowers.
