SAUNDERB FOR SENATOR:— Since the death of Jeremiah P.i Cronin the democrats of the coun ] ties of Blackford, Wells and Adam c have been considering the que*tion as to who will be the candidate fori senator. It was a foregone conclu l slow that Mr Cronin would haw I been the party’s candidate, had be entered the race. The democrats of I the three counties were ardent in their support of him. From all parts of the senatorial die • trict now come friends of George LI Saunders, editor of the Bluffton Ban-! ner, who was Mr. Cronin s opponent i in the primary two years ago for joint representative, and advocate j Mr. Saunders' nomination. They like the manner Mr. Saunders took his defeat He exhibited the disposition of a true democrat. After his defeat I he became one of Mr. Cronin's most [ enthusiastic xupportqra-.aud with his. newspaper and by personal work did i all b» could for Mr. Cronin's success f Party men like this attitude in a j candidate, and they are new turning ' to Mr. Saunders and hope that he will i be a candidate for Joint senator. There never was any doubt about I Mr. Saunders qualifications. He is a; man of sterling character, excellent | judgment, a man who all his life has studied economic questions He could I not be swerved from what he bcWv"; ed to be his duty and he would be a ! representative of all the people. Tc { the News it would seem that the j party could make no better selection ‘ for candidate for senator to repre i 1 sent the three counties, and it is r pleased that the suggestion of Mr 1 Saunders' candidacy is meeting with I' such favorable response—Hartford City News. Eo far as has been heard Adams county has no candidate for this honor though entitled to the senatorship. Mr. Gottschalk will probably ' be a candidate for representative from the district comprised of Wells and Adams counties and it is mow 1 than likely w!U be unopposed from' Wells county.

If ba returns to the house be will >e one of the lead *. ers end for this reason has told his r friends he wcmH prefer that to ber Inga candidate for the senate as Jjtkey were urging him to be. Mr. Saunders is well known over thia county and what the Hartfinrd •I City New* say* of him is true He •|i* • splendid gentleman and oc« ’ when the people of the district conld I trust to do hia utmost to perform l| their will. , ■»—w Away out midway between Africa , and South America lies the isle of Tristan de Cunha, inhabited by «r vivors from shipwrecks. They have i their owa government and have re fused several times to accept offers i from other governments to remove them to more fertile lands, preferring I to live without being "bossed.” There i is no money there but the people live I by being neighborly, honest and fair i and crimes are unknown. Not so bad at that. Some time* we think we have too much law and control and that what we need is just a little I more of the Golden Rule religion. Quiet funerals are In good taste but even at that most people will fail j to see why it was necessary to make . that of Senator Penrose so quiet as 'to be almost secretive. In efforts to ; place a mark of simplicity on the -ffair the funeral attracts more gen eral attention than would have ; otherwise been possible The body i was conveyed to the cemetery early I yesterday morning through a drixz ling rain and with only a few dose i I relatives in attendance. Decatur will welcome the teams ' 4 , from surrounding towns and cities at , the district basket ball tournament , jto be held here March 3rd and 4th i ’ and the team members and their 1 boosters are assured of a square i deal and a gocsl time. Decatur people ( I ire hospitable and enjoy visitors and ( ’ they will do their best to show those who come here at that time the beet two days they ever had. __________ 1 The frequency of hold up*. bank robberies and murders makes u« ; wonder why pistols are sold any < way? Who needs them except pc- J lice officers? It is a violation of law 1 to carry them and we are surprised , that it is permitted to retail them to ( any one who wishes to buy. Certain- ! ly there should be some restrictions on these dee th dealing instrument*. A wjerd story was that told by ’ Hulhnger. a pre** correspondent In , Russia, describing the visit to a land ] of frozen death where babes are l dying by hundreds and people exist 1 as long as they can oa grass.
