They pro ] pose to spend millions of dollars ti provide the most beautiful place it America. The city which lands it will be made. We want it for Decatur Will you help? If the miners get that eleven hun v dred thousand dollars which has beet , tied up they will prolong the strik« for several months and a coal famin< , is predicted and looks quite possible This may. close the factories whirl are just opening after an eighteel month's lull. In the meantime con , gross is investigating. Henry Ford announces' tlmt h< 1 would accept the presidency if it Mfa: offered him but says he won't spend i dime to get it. Well who wouldn't? S' far no one seems to have figured on i what ticket he will be a candidate oi but a "Ford for president’ club will b> organized at Dearborn. Michigan te night and then the information ma? 1 be at hand. Assisted by Mr. Hoover, the grea business man and head of the depart ment of commerce, the coal operator now plan to boost coal prices 100 pe> \ cent or $1.75 per ton at the mine. It' a fine system and the poor man pay the freight at both ends. Normalcy i a wonderful thing and is based on tin old principal that to he who hath shal be added and from he who hath no< i shall be taken away. f It is discovered that under a rcc«’n act of the legislature boys under toyears of age cannot be admitted to th' Plainfield reformatory. Os course th< law makers did not figure on nine yeaold murderers and now Judge Me Griff at Portland is in a quandry as t< what action to take with Robert Sil vers, aged nine, who killed a playmat' in a fight there Friday. It Is a seriom ’ problem. It's about time for Max Oser to fih suit against John D. Rockerfeller foi ; talking his granddaughter out of mar rying Oser. He has had about all th' publicity he can get out of the epgagr ment announcement and something will have to be done. Then of course Max won't overlook the chance t/ grab off a few millions Without having to curry the horses. \ 1 Senator Jim Watson will lead a de bate which he says will last all sum mer, in deh ns<i of the high protective tariff. He is of the opinion he can put it over but he will find time to change his mind between this and elec tion day. The people favor reasonable tariff but not that brand which in creases the cost of clothing, shoes and other commodities to a point which makes times hard. Watson's action surprises no one for he has been a consistent advocate of protection for the big interests in season and out of season and in office and out of office. It seems that there will be nothing done at the north bridge in the way of guards until an accident occurs. When that happens it will be serious of course. It's discouraging to make a campaign on such neglects and secure an order from the state highway commission and then have them sidetrack the order and make no effort to rem-

edy the dangerous approaches to the bridge. It's one of the specialities of the central control system now in style and some day the people will rise up to a lot of other things they did that are not to their interest. Attorney General Daugherty is making a grandstand play that he will put the men who grafted during the war and afterwards In prison. The public doubts his sincerity for he has made a practise of getting men out rather than putting them la. That this opinion is likewise hold in Ohio where he has lived his life is signified by the folowing startling and bonifide offer now being made by the Ohio State Journal, recognized republican state paper; We will give $3,500 in gold for every grafting war contractor put in jail by Harry Daugherty, with an extra prize of a genuine Packard Sin gle Six In every case where said graft Ing war contractor so placed in jail Is a Republican. ROTARIANS TO PLAY BLUFFTON IN BASEBALL (Continued from page one) >e over with twenty, team and ootors, and that they are coming to win the game. Mr. Blackman and hi; varriors, just fresh from two easy ictorios over Indianapolis, concede lothirig td the Decatur fellows, and if hey win they'll have to play. Blackman fully expects Justus Web >er to be ready for the fray on the . etching mound, and all the rest of j be tqam will be in the line-up with t he possible exception of Wm. Kunkel, ] it short. Kunkel is away from town j >ow and will probably be away next riday. If he is. Howard Ullman will ikoly be drawn up to short from the •titfield, and some other player placed n right field. The Decatur Rotarians will spend he evening with the local club in the isual dinner at the Bliss hotel.” •lARKLE WOMAN DIED AT FATHER IN-LAW'S HOME NEAR BERNE, MONDAY Mrs. Alton Ray died at the home ol >er father-in-law, Wm. Ray, in Mon oe township, late Monday evening Hrs. Ray lived in Markle and was tak ■n sick several weeks ago.
