Life l<uihling, Kansas City, Mo We presume Mr. Vestal is also proud of the record the national administration is making in settling the strikes. He seems to be so proud of everything they do that he must likewise be proud of what they do not do and that 0 seems to be the greatest part of a normalcy program. He may be proud of it but he may find that the plans do 1 not just meet the approval of a major- ! ( ity of the voters. i We are in second, speed for the big celebration here and within a week or \ two will be going on high. There was 1 all kinds of enthusiasm at the meet 1 ing of the heads of committees lasi evening and it is safe to say the day will be a real one. Not only will the entertainment be impressive but wt | will not lose sight of the important matter of trying to convince our visi tors, that Indiana is for the big ideal i that we are, hoping for and this is the one perfect spot for tlie "City oi

Childhood.” Decatur will have as her guest nexl Monday evening and Tuesday morn ing, William Jennings llryan, wh( conies to deliver an address at the Chautauqua. You may not have agree' with all his ideas yet tew have not agreed with many of them. He lias been a thought producer of legisla tion and a power in economic life ii America. He is likewise a wonder ful platform speaker—perhaps the world's greatest and lie will be given a warm hearted welcome by our citi zens who will appreciate Ills address on "The world’s greatest need.” Tin entire Chautauqua program is excel lent and *f you havib’t tickets you should get them at once. Peace negotiations to end the strike have been called off and evidently the next move will be to take cliargi of the mines and operate them. Tin serious thing however seems to bt that the rolling stock of the railroads is rapiddly getting in bad condition and the moving of coal from the mine; a difficult matter. Whatever is to b< done must be done soon or the nation will be up against a real proposition and it is doubtful if even if settlement is made during the next week or twe if sufficient coal can be moved to keep things going during the next six or eight months. Mr. Vestal did not answer the charges of the New York World. The World, as Banner readers know, charges Mr. Vestal with giving his wife a nice fat jolt as his secretary—and that is not ususual in Washington, although not the right spirit—but the World also charges that Mr. Vestal lias a wohian on the pay rolls at eighty dollars per month, ten of which she gets, the remainder going hack to the nie.mber—meaning, of course, back to the member of congress who lias her on the pay roll Theso chlrges have been printed in the papers of this district and Mr. Vestal lifts boon offered space to refute them if they are untrue. He fails to refute. —Bffuffton Banner. Decatur merchants should support the Northern Indiana fair with an ex- \ A, > ' *. i. Dibit on the grounds. Up to date there t \ have been but few applications foi space under the grandstand which should be filled with displays of flu goods of local merchants. It’s a fin< opportunity to meet the people of thii county and to boost the fair and wort]

forty times tho effort and the small expense. The management has made a special rate this year and will co operate with you in every way possi- • hie. In most places the merchants must largely support thq fair while ' here you are only requested to cooperate. Do it ut once—arraugo for your place under the grandstand and display your wares. MANY HORSES TO RACE HERE D. W. Beery, manager of the speed department of the Northern Indiana Fair, arrived home from Marion, Ohio, this morning after attending the race meet held there this week. Mr. Heery succeeded in obtaining 22 liorsfes, en tered In the races at Marion, to race in the events to be held during the fair here week after next. Judging from present indications, there will be a larger number of race horses entered in the Northern Indiana Fair this year than have ever been gathered together for a race meet on a half mile track. There is already a large number of horses training at the race track here. Mr. Heery, after arriving home from Marion. Ohio, today, left for North Manchester. to obtain more horses for the local fair. There Is said to be a large number of horses in training there. Special arrangements have been made with the Erie Railroad for trails porting the 32 horses from Marion, Ohio, to Decatur. They will arrive in Decatur either Saturday night or Sun day, and will be worked out on the local track next week. WILL SPEAK TO ROTARY CLOB — •
