T | Wlien Marshal Reynolds devoted an houmthis morning to making a band of gypsies move on through 0- town and prevented the women from )r making a begging tour of the down o town district, he j>erfornied a service that deserves your appreciation. These visitors do not help a community and they should be ordered to go S right ahead and to go fast and that’s q the order they got here this morning. s — — 5 Seventeen hundred people visited j the high school building last evening ) and were surprised to see the won- , derful display made by the classes in domestic science and manual training The work of the students is very won- . derful and shows that the children are being taught useful work as well as “readln’, writin’ and Tithmetic." Those who missed the display last evening will have another opportunity during the fair when a display is to be made at nellmont park. If it were not for the fact that taxes j ire next to confiscatory in every county in the state those who argue that there is some other cause than the new law might get somewhere. | If you will investigate you will find I every community suffering from the I exorbitant tax assessment and they I will continue to do so until a limit is I fixed on bond issues which is fair I and just or until the valuations are I reduced. One of these two things I must be done if the credit of the state I is to be maintained. J Another way of helping to make I Decatur look brighter is for the busi- I ness men to give a little attention to I their show windows. On one side of , I the main street the other evening we j noticed one front lighted in an entire I block. It looks dingy and old sash- I ioned and for a few pennies can be I altered to give a mueh brighter ap- I pearance to the city. Come on boys, I let’s get out of the rut and put Deca- | tur on the map, let's be optimistic I and cheerful and let’s do our part. I We are not scolding but rather coax- I ing. We are so anxious to have this | the best looking town as well as the I best town on the map that we want C every one J.o help do it. | The United States has resumed its C ightful place in the councils of the 1 allies. Word has been given to delay 1 the Knox “peace” resolution in con- I gress. Gradually the light breaks. I More and more the truth is being 1 borne in upon the administration I that the only possible course for the 1 mi mu miwiMiii iib nmn

United States today, as yesterday, is i to participate in t'ne peace settle- 1 ment to which all other nations have agreed- Today there seems to be no alternative. The compelling force of almost irresistible circumstances is driving, and in the face of it partisanship and personalities must be forgotten. How much the administtaton intends to resist the tide of eVents, how far to travel with it, only the future can disclose; for, in the face of the kaleidoscopic chnnges in Europe no man can forecast the da-

tails of policy from one day to the next. But this much is clear; that we are being forced constantly tc work more "closely with the uille: ■with whom we fought and with whom we wrote the peace. Some volunteer spokesmen for oui agricultural population, disgruntle! by economic conditions, have saic that this year they would he contem to produce “something for the farm era to eat.” If they did ho more thai that the rest of us would be in a bai i

And right here let us say that we sincerely hope that the economic adjustment will have been so far completed before (1 the fartnefs Cote their grains ‘to marfl k<-t that they will be satisfactorily d rewarded for their efforts.
