The republican press of the state is urging the election ( of republicans to city offices. Just why is not explained. Is it because of the efforts being made by the state administration to oust such men as Dr. King, of the health department; Mr. Liber of the conservation division; Earl Crawford and John Williams of the road commission? Is it because of the influence of D. C. Stephenson? Is it because of the promised era of prosperity. still rather lagging behind that corner? Just why and what? Washington took the first one and the Pirates just gasped and don't seem to understand it. Walter John son who for two decades has played clean sport, pitched great ball and helped to make the national interest' in the game, was at his Best yesterday. much to the delight of millions of admiring fjns over the country. He allowed but five scattered hits and he went through the nine ninning splen didly. They are at it again today and the guessing is about even. Decatur will have a Calithumpian parade on Hallow een and that means a happy time for those to enjoy participating or watching such affairs. It is being planned and managed by J. W. Rice of this city who has had considerable experience and who promises many surprises and a fun frolic that will make every body happy. Details will be announced from time to time and you are invited to take part in the affair. Its just for a good time and to keep the pep up in the best town in the country. Much is said, necessarily so, about what can be done to accommodate automobiles on our streets. The first thing to remember in any proposal for the relief of automobile traffic is that the rights of pedestrians are and should be supreme over every other interest. This fact is generally recog nized and usually finds expression in statutes and ordinances enacted to govern and control in the matter. The safety of the people who walk on the streets and sidewalks is of paramount concern. Their convenience and accomodation should be the first thought of all who have to deal with the problem.—Kokomo Tribune. The round up for those boys and girls who took part this year in the calf, corn and beet clubs, will be held in this city soon, perhaps the latter part of this month. Plans for a suitable program are now being made and will be announced within a few days. Many of the young folks will go to the National Dairy Exposition at Indianapolis next week and will be more than ever enthused for the work next year. Its a fine project and is creating much interest among the young people on the farm. They should be given a good time here at the round up and encouraged to go on with their splendid work and to induce others to do so. Conditions in Decatur were never better than they are now, the culmination of efforts made during the past fifteen or twenty years and it is necessary that it continue. During th.e next four years under careful, proper management, we will step forward at greater speed and the city must keep up, while at the same time guard against such expenditures that

would start the tax rate “soaring. 1 Think It over and be your own judge of what is best to make conditions better tor every one here. We are proud of our city, of those administrations which during the past decade or two have built up the city plant, constructed splendid streets, put in ; ornamental lights, built the swimming pool, kept up the streets, paid the debts and has money in the treasury. — o ’ ' ♦ Big Features Os * RADIO * , * Programs Today * THURSDAY'S FIVE BEST RADIO FEATURES , (Copyright 1925 by United Press) CNRC, Calgary, 436, f p in.

“BIG SIX” IS DEAD B —— , Christy Mathewson, Idol Os Baaeball Fans, Succumbs To Illness Os Tubercular Pneumonia. 9 Saranac Lake. N. Y., Oct. B—Chris- . the world over, has lost his seven i year fight against the white plague- , ty Mathewson, idol of baseball fans ’ He died at 11 o'clock last night at his home here, just a few hours' ■ after the world's series had opened In Pittsburgh. Death of the "Big Six" was unexpected, although he had been In poor health all summer. Tubercular , pneumonia, brought on the end Funeral services will be held Saturday morning in Lewiston, Pa., aci cording to tentative plans. The body will be taken from here tonight. Mathewson's gallant battle with tuberculosis had held public sympathy ever since he contracted the malady while serving as a captain in the army gas service during the world war. The disease developed slowly and it was not until 1920 that he was forced to retire as coach of the New York Giants, the club withj which he won fame as a pitcher.

' Mathewson’s 45 years were devot- ' ed to sport. As a youngster at Factoryville. Pa., where he was born. Aug. 12. 1880, he was a leader on diamond and gridiron. When the scene shifted to Keystone academy ; and Bucknell university he continued ' to star as a baseball and football ; player In 1900 the big pitcher joined the , G ants, but was "farmed” to the Virginia league for experience. At the end of the season he was drafted by the Cincinnati Reds and later went back to the Giants in a trade for the veteran Amos Rusts. The "Big Six” won 30 games in three successive seasons. 1903-05. an astounding record. He pitched two no-bit games and is believed to made a world’s recoid when In a game with Philadelphia, he pitched only 67 balls, less than eight balls an inning. Control was the secret of Mathewson's mound success. In the 629 games he pitched in the National . league, he yielded only a trifle more j than an average cf one base on balls' a game. He appeared in four world's series, winning five games, losing the same number and tieing one. His most sensational post season pitching was, lone >n the New York Philadelphia !
