Entered at the postofflce at Decatur. Indiana, as second-class matter. The candidates will go before the people next autumn and will tell you what they stand so will then be up to the voters. If you study primary election returns you will notice indications that many of those who voted for normalcy last fall didn’t mean it. The Lucy Stone League composed of married women has adopted slogan "keep your own name.’’ That’s easy, provided they get the idea soon enough. r .. Removing the excess profits tax will not greatly affect the amount -of revenue collected, since there will ' probably be no excess profits this 1 year. 1 They must have gotten their lines mixed in Milwaukee, where the coun- , cil refused to give official welcome , to General Pershing. He didn't put the ban on beer. Don't you think that perhaps the ' serious times, the fact that many are c out of work, and things are rather ' I upside down had something to do 8 with the light vote cast in republican I centers yesterday? That’s the way it 1 s always has worked and perhaps al-1 ' ways will. e -i — t After raising hope high in the c breasts of those who favor beer as a p medicine, the administration kills it 11 all by the announcement that the or- : j iginal order permitting its sale under 11 certain regulations has been iudeil-1 < nitely postponed awaiting action by ! i congress. Looks like another long j < dry spell. I < s < Settlement of the controversy be- j * tween the allies and Germany con- * i cerning reparation seems near and,; the world is hoping that it may be so. i , Until this transaction is disposed of to the satisfaction of everyone confcerned, we will not get far and it's . time to be going forward instead of • backward as has the world done the past seven years. The wonder of it j f all it that we have anything left to j I build from after so long a period of ; ■ scientific destruction in war. ||

J* The vote caet yesterday in Decatur was only forty-one per cent of the registered vote and forty-five per cent >■ of that cast last November. It was r not as good a showing as should have >• been made for local elections are J most important. The democrats cast seventy-three per cent of the vote of last November and the republicans s about fourteen per cent. Get your ’ pencils out now and figure the result j of the finals. j The smoke of the skirmish has I cloared away and everybody seems , happy today. The democrats select ed a strong ticket and those who lost are smiling and congratulating the winners today. It was a fair primary with no ill feeling and the losers will be loyal boosters for the winners. The republicans had no contests and the ticket as selected is no doubt satisfactory to the great majority of them. So everybody’s happy. The democrats cast about the same vote in Fort Wayne yesterday as the republicans though the contest by the g. o. p. was much noisier. Mr. Hosey made a remarkable showing and many are guessing that he will be again chosen mayor of that city next November. He is an expert on municipal affairs and the administration in that city for the past four years has caused a good many to decide that Hosey is about the right maji for the place. His opponent will be Mr. Gillie. All over Indiana where primaries were held yesterday the vote cast was very light. Even in those cities where hot fights were staged the vote was far below former years. In Fort Wayne only one-third of the vote was cast and in other places it was similar. There are a number of reasons. In the first place city campaigns are short and the interest is rarely as great as in other elections and in the sacond place a lot of people who were well satisfied with conditions as they existed a year ago are now out of work, t down in the mouth and in a don't care mood. The things which go wrong will be charged to the republican party and with more or less right for campaign promises should be kept. The restoration 'of "normal- ' cy” will not prove as popular as it a may have looked to you. We are a queer people when it comes to con- 1 ducting government and we sure do change our minds. It need not surprise you if the results next Novem- 1 ber and for several elections to come 1 show a very decided trend back to 1 , i democracy. John Burroughs, whose death America mourns, died a poor man. His estate is appraised at only $5,- 1 000. A multitude of people who liv and die in obscurity accumulate in 1 their lives as much and more. And yet for all his poverty in material goods, John Burroughs lived and died

. TOO MUCH MONET ■ I I I Little Negro Wench in Texas Wins Suit Which Will Bring Her Millions “AIN’T GOT IT YIT” Is Her Reply to Questions as to What She Will do With All That Coin I ii it rd I'rrNN Service. Dalian. Texas, Muy 4 —(Special to Dally Democrat) —A negress sat inSa tumble-down shack in the negro quarter on Hill street here today and stoclally refused to get excited over the buttle involving millions attorneys are waging about her claims to oil fields. , Little Gussie Taylor, the negress, who explains to visitors that her "health is poorly and ah ain’t no great hand to talk nohow,” merely shrugged her shoulders when reporters told her she had won her suit in the Louisiana state supreme court and established her title, insofar as state courts are concerned, to what her attorneys declared is the biggest producing lease in the Great Homer. La., oil fields. The land, about three miles from the town of Homer, has already produced about $5,500,000 worth of oil. A suit pending in the circuit court of appeals at New Orleans will with the state court verdict, complete establishment of her title if she wins it, her lawyers said, and will probably make her one of the richest negroes in the world. "Ah ain’t got this monty yit,” she reminded friends today who sought to plan for her what to do with “all that money.” She punctuated .the remark with a cough and drew a ragged shawl about her shoulders and huddled closer to the dim flame of the oil lamp that. ]>ehind drawn blinds, flickered its rays about the darkened roqm and rejected from what was once a red rug. The woman’s fight for fortune centers about land in Claiborne Parish. Louisiana, that she once abandoned as worthless, lawyers declared. The exact amount of money Lillie will realize if she wins will be hard to estimate. The lands are variously estimated worth from $8,000,000 to $15,000,000. Her lawyers,' finding her in poverty, accepted the suit on a fifty-fifty basis —getting half the winnings. She has also disposed of a part of her share in the claims, it was announced. MRS. KAUFFMAN THANKFUL I am very thankful indeed to the voters of Decatur for the splendid support given me in yesterday's primary election. If elected next November I promise my very best efforts to serve the public well. 1 deeply appreciatethe honor and will strive to please you. MRS. CATHERINE E. KAUFFMAN’. Herman Reitor of R.

For n weak kidneys—well, read what a Decatur woman says: v Mrs. Frank Bogner, 1104 W. Monroe St., " Kidney Pills is a most excellent remedy because I have used them. When, ever I have caught cold my kidneys would become disordered. My back would get sore and stiff and sharp twinges would go through me when I would get up from a chair. I suffered a great deal before I used Doan's Kidney Pills. They soon put a stop to the trouble. It has now been-.sometime since I have needed a kidnsy remedy.” (Statement given Nov. 7, 1915.) On Oct. 23, 1920, Mrs. Bngner said: "I have had very little trouble with my kidneys of late. Occasionally I use Doan’s for slight attacks and they always give prompt relief.’’ ®oc, at all dealers.

t INDIANA WOMAN' WAS ASTONISHED Mrs. Crackel Restored to ” Perfect Health by Tanlac—Suffered Eight s Years “1 am so happy since this wonderful Tanlac has relieved me of my suf ferings that 1 just talk about it all the tinve.” declared Mrs. Jess Crat-k---el. 719 Chestnut street, Evansville, * Ind., o “1 suffered almost constantly for 1 eight long years with stomach trour ble. After meals the gas which formed in my stomach pressed around my heart, almost cutting off my breath. ’ and 1 was miserable for hours. I was intensely nervous and tossed for hours , at night before I could go to sleep. 1 ~ was all run down and felt so weak and trembly that I could scarcely do more ’ than five minutes' housework with--1 out stopping to rest. All the medicine - I had taken failed to do me a pari tide of good, and I was so blue owr , my condition I didnt’ think there was any use of trying any further * "Well, sir, Tanlac. was just what 1 1 needed. It gave me a fine appetite t and soon I was eating regular meals without the least trouble afterwards. . So 1 kept on taking Tanlac and improving so fast it was astonishing. 1 1 have taken eight bottles now and am like a different woman. I’m all over my nervousness and sleep so good that the nights are not long enough. 1 feel so refreshed when morning comes I can work all day and never stop to 1 rest. Tanlac deserves all the praise that can be givA?n it. and I have told lots of my friends and neighbors how it has made life worth while for me. I wouldn't take anything in this world for the good this Tanlac has done me.” SCHOOL CLOSED Tuesday marked the close of a very successful term for the Raudenbush school, Distrct No. 5 in Washingtqn township, of which Miss Mary Laugh I lin is the teacher.

They all praised the I teacher for her success during the past term and arte also going to put 11 forth an effort for her return next | year.
