Entered at the postotfice at Decatur, Indiana, as second class matter If we cgn judge the temperament of the people and we believe we can we would advise expert accountants and engineers to get iu all the time they can this year for they will very likely not have a chance after the next legislature gets through with the laws which authorize them to go hither and there at a fat salary and all expenses paid. Political writers of state fame are predicting that New will be nominated by the republicans in tomorrow’s prj mary. They admit Beveridge is best qualified but the machine manipulators will never forgive him for having bull moused around for several years and they have set their lines to swing the vote againt him one way and another. New's manager claims the nomination by 60,000. Beveridge closed his campaign with a big meeting at Indianapolis Saturday night. Tomorrow is primary day and it should be the desire of every citizen to assist in selecting those candidates best fitted to serve the public. Democrats in Adams county should use the greatest care, remembering that the men named will be the officers of the county for indications are that this i county will swing back to the demo cratic column with a very decided , majority next November. That makes the responsibility in a nominating primary the greater. Whatever else you have to do this , week, please don't overlook the im portant duty of cleaning up the yard ; and lending what assistance you can to the city authorities in making the I town look bright. Get the rubbish, tin cans and other refuse of the winter season together and piled so the trucks can pick it up, have the ashes and the garbage hauled away, get the lawn rolled and mowed and make the home places look attractive. If we al' do it, you will be surprised at tht ex- , cellent results. I It certainly requires a lot of nerve : for the public service commission to Send two high priced experts here to check up the cost of the city water and light plant for thirty years back. What the total cost of the plant, several times rebuilt and refitted has to do with the present rates is more than 1 the average business man will be able ' to figure. The tigupes accumulated by , experts last year and approved by the i board are nix, Decatur must pay these 1 fancy engineers extravagant salaries I for as many months as they wish to remain here even though we are all • very well satisfied with our water and lights rates and no complaints have been filed. Times certainly must be getting hard or the commission would not undertake such bold hold ups. The people here would prefer to spend their money in a test case harried to the supreme court than to meekly submit to this autocraic and fake efficiency joke. When the politicians get to quarreling among themselves, the people usually profit] The Indianapolis Star In an editorial printed Sunday and headed “An eye to November” says in a sincere and almost brutal manner. “Beat Beveridge Tuesday and we (the republicans) beat ourselves in November. We believe them and if is also a very good guess that it they boat New next Tuesday the result will be the same. It’s a good thing for the voters to remember the things now being said about New and his incompetency during this campaign, for papers jike the Star will probably not say

1 them next tall when the campaign is ou for fear of injuring t|jp uhupces of zome other candidate. The trouble is that the record of the republican ■ state and federal office holders of the past two to four years has not satis tied the people uud when the American ' people desire a change they are sure to express that desire with their ballots. Look out for the November elections. I | .1,1 I I.IU. According to tho dope now belpg handed out by the backers of Charles R. Lane of Fort Wayne, a candidate for congress against Mr. Fairfield, Adams and Wells counties may be hooked op to the twelfth district one of these days. The following para graph is from the news story seal from Washington to the Indianapolis News: — Mr. Fairfield's opponent. Charles R. lame, of Ft. Wayne, has told Republicans of the Twelfth dis trict that the only way to prevent Democrats from gaining control of the district for all time to come is to de feat Fairfield for renomination. His argument is to the effect that Fair field ultimately will be successful in his fight for congressional reappor tionment with no enlargement of the membership of the house, which will mean that Indiana's representatior will be reduced from thirteen tc twelve, and that when that time comes redistricting of Indiana will briny Adams and Wells counties now of the Eighth distrist, into the Twelfth, am’ that the inclusion of these Democratic counties will make it forever imposs ible for Republicans to elect a con gressman.

• EAIS ANYTHING ! ON TABLE AND 1 ■ GAINS WEIGHT J — - \ Stomach Trouble of Three Years Standing Disappeared in Three Weeks, Declares Terre Haute Citizen. ''l'm eating anything I want now, ' sleeping like a top ami feeling tine and 1 dandy all the time,,” said Wm. T. Nel- ’ son, 1334 Eighth Ave., Terre Haute, nd. '“J never dreamed that a medicine could make as big a change in a man as Tanlac did in mo in just three weeks time. It just about made me over new. I had stomach trouble for three years in bad form and finally got to where I was going down hill fast. ‘"I was just about ready to give up when I started taking Tanlac. It has lust made a different man out of me. My stomach is in apple pie order and 1 am picking up in weight and strength right along. Tanlac certainly does the work." Tanlac is sold in Decatur by Smith. Yager & Falk's and by leading druggists everywhere. i • ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ * CONFESSIONS OF A SENATOR ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ CHAPTER IV. .Washington, May I—“ The1 —“The Preajdtmt mce said to me —never mind which President —that he wished members of Congress would stop asking him to do heir thinking for them," said the Senitor, continuing his inside story of the United States senate. "I had gone to the white house to ;et presidential o. k. on a bill in which was mighty interested. Rather, I had ;one to try to convert the President to my bill, for I had learned through the inderground channels of cloakroom alk that he was opposed to it and had idvised certain senators to vote against it. ' The President was not in the best humor that day. He was a bit short tempered anyway, ,and things had not been going just right. While 1 talker, he kept fuming, and finally he go>' me so nervous that I stopped. That minute he got up and wagged his fingers at me. " 'Doggone you fellows.,’ he said., ‘I wish you would stop pestering me this way! 1 mean, why do you Insist that I think fyr you? Oh, yes, you do’ —he waved me aside as he saw I was about to protest—‘and I can prove it by this very bill you came up to sell me. It is r had bill, you wimlil never press it, much less ask me to stop fighting it.’ “Well, then he proceeded to lay my poor little bill cold, in the most ruthjess fashion. As a matter of fact, T did not know much about the bill, except superficially, ,for I had introduced it after some folks out in my state had sent a man down to Washington to talk me into it. This man had a mass of information, which he freely imparted. I knew him, and knew he was a respectable citizen, and represented respectable folks. So I didn't go behind the facts and figures he presented to me, especially as writhin a few days of his visit, 1 began getting letters from some very influential folks,, all of whom I knew to be of the highest standing and probity. They all endorsed the scheme, and urged me to sponsor it. "Now the whole business didn't amount to much in itself. If the bill had passed and become law, nobody would have been particularly hurt. i But the President showed me that it , would establish a dangerous precedent, and open the way for persons not so respectable to tap the public treasury under the guise of doing a public service. “Before I got away,, he had me admitting that if I had gone into the matter as he apparently had —for he knew a lot more about this particular project than I did —I would have been against it. I guess some of my colleagues thought I was crazy when I withdrew the bill a day or two later. 1 know the folks out home who had got me to introduce it never quite got over my action. “That plain talk by the President was good for me as a legislator, and my observations since has led me to conclude it would be good for some more of us in the senate, though 1 am not going to criticize my colleagues. I am not without sin myself, therefore r I will cast no stones.” i , 1 WOMANS CLUB TO MEET s — 5 5 The regular meeting of the Woman's 1 club will be held at-tlie Masonic hall ’ this evening at the regular time.

METHOD FOR KILLING PEACH TREE BORERS Lafayette, May I.—Poach tree borera, one of the most serious menaces to the peach crop in Indiana, may bo gassed through tho use of paraffiehle erobenzene during May. .according tp Praf. J. J. Davis, head of the entomol-1 ogy department of Perdue University. This material, which Is scattered in small quantities around a tree, but not touching the trunk, sends,up such -strong fumes that the borers which, are enbedded in the wood of the tree die immediately. Experiments in a number of Indiana orchards last yftar by Perdue illustrated the effectiveness of this method and hundreds of inquires have been received recently regarding its use. Detailed information of the process of extermination may be obtained from I the university. "OVER THE HILL”, MIRROR OF THE HUMAN HEART All that makes "Over the Hill" a great picture is not on the film. It 13 in the human heart. William! Fox does not offer a spectacle or a thrill, but he gives you yourself—takes out your sympathies and hands them back to you. There's nothing in the story that, you don't put there, no artificial | stimulus of sight or sound which half approaches that which mere suggestion arouses within you. No little sister fleeing before black! lust, no persecuted damsel hurtling; toward icy falls, no Persian hordes I flocking throug betrayed gates—merely a shabby old woman plodding; with her bundles over the hills to the poorhouse. How strange it is that producers have wasted so much time over the; struggles of silk stocking ingenues! with the cost of high living, .when people all along have been eager to sympathize with ordinary folk whose problems are closely akin to those of the majority! “Over the Hili" is a success because it presents a homely story so convincingly as to arouse the finest emotions of each spectator. It is narrative rather than plot,, humble rather than pretentious; but its people and its problem are very real, and its climax satisfying—marvelously so. The story was elaborated and modernized from the peoms of Will Carleton. It will be recalled by many that when the author of “Farm Ballads" took ‘“mother” over the hills to the poorhouse there arose such protest that he had to write another poem and bring her back. It's Lear and Cordelia rewritten as mother and son and set down in Gopher Prairie. That's all there is to it; but it’s well worth your while to watch that little black form plodding up he dusty road to an undeserved ignominy, just for'the pleasure of watching her come back. Everything else is incidental, but necessary in order that we may become well acquainted with Ma Benton, following her and the very human brood through the years—just •uch years of hope deferred as are really the reward of most who take life’s journey. Crystal tomorrow and Wednesday. o— J. M. Hoffman of east of the city at tended to business here this morning. Milt Girod of near Tocsin spent the day in Decatur on business.
