The next meeting of the Jefferson club will be held on Friday evening of next week and the room should be packed. There will be good speakers and you will enjoy the occasion. If you haven't joined the dull, come any way and see if you don't want to join. McAdoo has fallen in love with the west and announces he will change hs residence from New York to Los Angeles. He has dissolved his Fnw partnership and will become a regular citizezn of the land of the sunny west and Hollywood. Billy Hays may be next. R. Earl Peters, former Decatur citizen, who has pounded his way from the bottom up to a leading place among the attorneys of Fort Wayne, has announced his candimcy for congress. He accepted the call at the meeting of the Jefferson dub last evening and the scene was an enthusiastic one. He has the ability, the perseverance and the support and will, it is predicted, win a seat in the next congress. Senator Borah and William McAdoo are being coaxed to lead the proposed third party which it is announced will have a ticket in the field at the next presidential ro\?. They offer either of them the presidency, but unless there is more of a rush to the organization than has now,developed we predict that the offer will not prove tempting enough to attract either of the men mentioned. Third parties have not been very popular of late, and won’t be for some time. The American Securities Dank of Decatur whdi opened yesterday is a first-class instituttion, duly organized under the laws of Indiana and supported by a board of directors and stock holders including the best business men of the community. Fred Kolter, who is manager of the new bank, is well known, clean and upright and customers will be treated with courtesy and in a businesslike manner.

• The bank loans on personal property security and similar institutions all over this state are prospering. Well, it’s settled that Harry New . must win or go back to work. It had ’ been rumorod persistently that the job of postmaster general was to be hold open for him and in case he lost i to Beveridge he was to slip into the i cabinet, thus assuring hint es the op- ' portunity to continue his Washington meal ticket. Yesterday, however, the pressure got too strong and Dr. Hubert Work, of Colorado, first deputy, was nondnated. He will succeed Will Hays, who quits tomorrow to enter the movies. !_■!. I'-L'JU.J Daniel W. Simms, one of the best campaigners in the slate of Indians, and who managed the democratic campagn in California in 1916, when the state gave a democratic majority, is in the race for the senatorial domination. This has made Governor Ralston announce a vigorous campaign and the result will be of grant good to the party for it will create interest and get out the vote and make a better showing. There are also three other candidates, each of whom will get busy. A few days ago we mentioned the fact that a well known lady from the south part of the county had called on Mrs. Fred Heuer, the treasurer of the Adams County Jefferson club, and voluntarily become a member of that club. Yesterday she called again and handing in another dollar, said: "That’s for my sister, she wants to be a member of the club and couldn't got in, so I brought it.” They are genuine believers in democracy and in the principal that the people ought to rule and not a few politicians and business men in Indianapolis and Washington. It has been decided to issue a bonus certificate to the boys which they can borrow fifty per cent on. That will be better than nothing, but it sure does seem like a silly and useless manner of paying a debt to those who , offered the'. - lives. We can't forget th-.t railroads got theirs without any publicity and without any one asking where the money was to come from. In the meint.me the administration , v.!l’ confine-- on the payrolls more : ti an five hundred thousand employes, i If of whmi are as useless as five v I eels on an automobile. And soon •• e shai be hearing of the wonderful ( tci-ord madi during'the past year. , Welcome, basketball boys, your teachers, coaches and friends, assembled in Decatur today for the an- ' nual district tournament. We would like to hope that you all can win, but ( realizing the impossible wish of that . sentiment, we sure hope you all enjoy the meeting and that you make 1 new friends who will “stick” through ‘ life. We assure you a hearty wel- , come from every citizen of Decatur and the fairest and squarest deal possible. Don't take the games so seriously that you can’e enjoy meeting others from over the district, the peo- , pie here and old friends and have a good time. Basketball, like other sports, is a great thing if we don’t take it too seriously. Jim Jeffries is to hit the road and in regular Billy Sunday style will try to induce millions of those who have watched him wallop opponents in the ring to now hit the sawdust trail. It is said he has for several years taken an interest in religious affairs, that he has real taleat and has been persuaded to use it in saving souls. No doubt thousands will be attracted to his tabernacles and if he develops the power to make them stop, look and listen as has Sunday, he will go a great good. He used to have the “knockout punch" and in the old days won many a battle. He is now training for his biggest “go” and the results will be watched with as much interest or more. Here's hoping he can hit old Satan a solar plexus. > — NEW HOTEL FOR CHICAGO (titl'd Se»vk-e>. Chicago, Mar. 3—(Special to Daily Democrat)—The world's greatest hotel—rA $15,000,000 structure with 3,000 rooms —was planned here today. It will be named Hotel Stevens in honor of the president of-the Hotel LaSalle Co. and will be located on Michigan boulevard.

SAM SOO HOO DIED FOR FLAG Body of Patriotic Chinaman, Born and Educated in America, Sent to China for Burial. , Th* last journey of Sam So? Hoo, killed in action in the Ourcq valley, Is told by the American Legion lyOs Chinese parentage on both sides, but born and educated in San Francisco, Sam, when he became a young man, went to China and married, thinking some day to return to America. When in 1917 news came that America had entered the war, Sam kissed his perplexed little bride and said: "I must go.’’ Time passed, and a white cross stood over all that was mortal of Sam Soo Hoo. A Red Cross man came along and took a picture of the grave, sending it on to the widow, who wondered what it meant. And then a request came from relatives that the body be sent to China. So now, close by Jia gl Chuen, Just outside the south gate of Canton, uie slender matron waits the return ot her husband, where, draped in the flag of the country for which he died, he will be laid in the dust with his honored fathers.
