Bluffton men admitted last night that the real thing back of the present campaign is to build a foundation so they can land the tournament next year. A high class way to go after it. i The railway board is to. top off another little hundred million for the railroads, by ordering a reduction of ten per cent in wages again—and rates —well thats another matter. They) continue at war peaks. Has the first year of the administration been a success? It sure has for the millionaire. It is well known to every man who met at Bluffton last night that any 1 protest they may make will not effect 1 the result so far as Decatur repre Renting this destrict at Purdue is con- ’ corned. That’s not the idea. It's a ' mixture of Bluffton's desire to lamPi* the next tournament and imaginative i? grievances at a time when the excite i 1 nient has not quieted down.

1 or seven weeks you will no doubt hear and see some reel politics in the Hoosier state, famed tor ita oratory and • other accomplishments. ■ v From all the reports eminating from the seat of government, the adoption of the four power Pacific treaties will not be as smooth and as satisfactory i as was expected a fortnight ago. Just what has been discovered or why it requires all the force and power of the president and the cabinet has not been made public. Evidently that's the trouble —too much secrecy about the entire affair. Too many trying to put something over in Washington. They seem to meet each other on the way. ■■ 1111 "■Wt How do you like the excellent sup port being given the Decatur basket ball team by those with whom they contested in the tourney. The eighteen teams met here and fought out the schedule and under ordinary circumstances the losers should be supporting the winners for the sectional meeting at Purdue and with the excep tion of six teams, we believe they are. Boys you have the wrong spirit in this matter and we believe some day you will realize it. Decatur school authorities and citizens will welcome an investigatioiPand will Insist that it be a thorough one. If we are wrong anywhere we will take onr medicine and there will be no “squealing" or called sessions to pnt the other teams in bad, no picking up, of idle rumors to be restated as facts. The coaches who take the position of complainants must substantiate their charges or admit they are wrong. We claim the right to defend ourselves and the boys who put up such a valiant battle for the district championship. The attitude taken by those inter ested in several of the teams which i lost in the tournament is deeply re gretted for the feeling which seems to have heen aroused is wrong and i will harm basket ball. Many feel that if the sport cannot be engaged in

without this “squealing” it's time to quit it. That would work an injury to the schools of this section of the ■ state for a certain amount of clean athletics is. it is admitted a good thing. The older people should discourage rather than encourage this ugly feeling that seems to have been promoted for some cause or another. The school officials and the people here did everything possible to make the visiting teams and their boosters enjoy the recent event and it was conducted as clean as possible. More than that, no community could have done.

GIVE THANKS Indianapolis, Ind., March 4 — Thanks to the activity of the Hoosier State Anto Ass'n the "Pnnkinevlne pike" outside of Kokomo now bears a distinctive marker designating thia place at the starting point for the first trial trip of America’s first automobile. Until now there has been nothing to mark the place where America's automotive history began. The marker is of sheet metal in wooden frame nicely painted and lettered as follows: “On this road America’s first automobile, designed by Elwood Haynes of Kokomo, made its first trip in 1894. This marker erected by the Hoosier State Automobile Association". While no pretension is made that, the marker has snv real elegance or intrinsic vatlue it is pointed ont that the auto association itself is in the pioneer class, being in the field fighting for the interests and protection of all motor car owners ever since the bicycle days. "We wanted tire Punkinvine road marked," declares A. G. Lupton, of Hartford City, president of the state association. "We want to be marked i ourselves by every motorist in Indiana with at least the recognition of the fact that we are for him nil the timed whether he is supporting us or not. And if he isn't supporting us he might feel just a liftle bit ashamed of (he fact that he isn't contributing a penny toward marking the roads with direction sign or danger signs, nor is lie contribuating a farthing to the splendid accomplishments we had made in a legislitave way for his benefit. He might, too, recognize the fact that with stronger cooperation we could do a groat deal more good for the 400,000 owners of Indiana. Maybe he wants to ‘let George do it all' —some are that
