The coal miners and operators are ' about as far apart evidently as the poles. One is demanding a twenty per cent increase and the other a twenty-one per cent decrease. A compromise puts them just about where ; they started but the prices have been stiffened. Is that the idea? This looks like a good week to start the fight against weeds. The ' clean up has been a success and the yards about the homes of Decatur never looked finer. If we keep at it a few’ weeks we will have a beautiful Decatur and its worth all the effort and more. 1 — i The republican state convention ' this week promises but little excitement or interest, according to the advance stories. Every thing has been ] carefully arranged and the candidates ; selected by the bosses. The speeches by Beveridge and Watson will be pleas for harmony and a good many ‘ 1 are smiling up their sleeves eves now. Attorney General Daugherty says i that unless he finds some high class 1

lawyer who will prosecute the war fraud suspects he will do It himself | soon—and that’s just what they are hoping for. Any way we haven’t heard of any of them shaking in their boots over that threat. The public thinks there should be more action i and less bluffing. Whether the women are responsible for the nominations of Beveridge and Pinchot we are not at all certain but just the same they are getting the credit and the blame for it from those politicians on either side. Without a doubt the women of the country are less likely to control than the men who are guided by varied motives and long custom. There may be in store numerous surprises. If the republican delegates are wise they will repudiate the present tax laws in no uncertain words but those who know say they cannot do this without repudiating their own 1 laws. We could never understand why a political party couldn't admit bad law's when they fail to work and correct them. Usually when they don’t the people correct them by putting another party in power and they are going to do that in Indiana very soon. President Prink of the Yeomen lodge visited Decatur today. He is one of the big men in fraternal organizations, successful and loved by thousands who know his real worth and what he has accomplished. We are glad to have had him as a guest of this city and we hope his impressions have been such that he will add his influence towards locating their home for children here. We assure him and all others interested that we will unselfishly and persistently boost the cause and aid in every possible manner. The women of the eighth district can elect John Tyndall to congress if they will and plans for the organization of this vote should begin soon. Successful campaigns are not put on in a day or a week or a month and this one should be started soon. The women have the right of franchise and should exercise it for their votes count exactly as much as those of the men. Mr Tyndall is a deserving candidate who wdll serve the people of the district well if sent to con-; greos. He is the kind of a representative the district needs and his sup-

port should nnd we believe will come from every class of voters. He Is the friend of the farmer, laboring man, business man and manufacturer. He knows your needs and can accomplish things. , jfj •——— ♦ DOINGS IN SOCIETY ♦ CLUB CALENDAR Monday Delta Theta Tau —Miss Virgino Smith—B o'clock. . Degree Staff-Tribe of lieu Hur —At the Hall.

ington Post,” called at the White House and after a “protracted conversation between the President (Taft) and Mr. John R.

Washington, May 22—(Special to Daily Democrat) —More documents to support the charge that Attorney General Daugherty and Thomas B. Felder, Atlanta attorney, had a contract with Charles W. Morse through which they were to receive $25,000 for obtaining his release from the penitentiary in 1912 will be placed before the senate this week, Senator Caraway, Arkansas said today. Caraway caused a stir in political circles here Saturday by reading to the senate from photostatic copies of documents signed by Daugherty and Felder which he said showed the attorney general helped obtain the Morse pardon. Republican leaders of the senate were expected to confere today as to how to meet Caraway’s continued attack, his charges Saturday being made in the face of statements by Senator Watson, Indiana, who said the attorney general had told him that he was not in any way connected with the Morse pardon. Caraway’s presentation of the alleged Daugherty letter and the Daug- ' herty-Felder contract already has * caused friction between the depart--1 ment of justice and republican senate leaders. Early today, it was said at the department of jusflee, that there was | no statement from Daugliejtv in reply to the charges of Caraway. The attorney general had steadfastly re--1 fused to discuss the matter. 1 Representative Woodruff, Michigan who has been demanding an investii gation by a special house committee ’ of alleged laxity oil the part of the i attorney general In prosecuting war grafters, this week probably' will atr tempt to force republican house leadj ers to allow’ the house to vote on this [• j resolution for the inquiry. Woodruff and Caraway have both nu)de; the charges, that “a,- working j partnership”' ’still exists between 3 Daugherty and Felder. They refer to charges made by Maj. H. L. Scaire war fraud investigator of the department of justice who was dismissed ' when he gave some information to congressmen. ■ Scaire charges that ’ j Felder, representing he had been c ent. : >1 by Daugherty, sought to have him ac- j i cept, a position as counsel in the case i jof the Bosch Magneto company, |
