This was the last day for the spring installment of your taxes, a rather important duty in tills day uud age. Hoys we'l'e all for you and we want to help you have all the fun, learn all you can, win every battle and prepare to take care of the business of after while. h Now girls here's good news, silk Stockings that ruu-proof are promised as the result of a new process of knitting textiles so they do not unravel. Its a shame that every few weeks a campaign has to be conducted in Indiana to prevent the use of the state highway organization as a political machine. A specie of mushroom has been discovered which will produce as neat -a “jag" as the best whiskey you ever drank. Needless to say it will become popular. Its going to be hot in Washington •this summer but the congressmen should remember its going to be a lot hotter in the rural districts of their ’home section if they come back without having done something genuine to benefit the farmer. The state prison has purchased a four hundred acre farm and there s one place where thq earnings should be satisfactory for they can have plenty of free help, thus solving one of the serious problems of the average farm. After tomorrows primary is settled and we have all had a good night s rest, we can take up the Better Homes Exposition, the county fair, the spring clean-up, Limberlost Trail celebration and a few other things that have been temporarily laid aside. Just about what most of us thought would happen, congress is now in a dead-lock over three proposed farm bills and if one of them does slip through it will have so many amendment tails that its own daddy won't recognize it and be so weak that it will be of mighty little benefit to the farmers. A year ago it looked as though the electric railway business in Indiana was doomed and that bus lines would take the places of the trolleys, but the busses are now on the slump and the electric lines again coming into their own. Last year they carried over 225,000,000 people and showed net revenues of more than twenty-one million dollars. And the future looks much brighter now than in a number of years. ■ The boys parade Saturday was a splendid one and we heard only tne finest kinds of compliments up and down the streets. Yesterday in several of the churches the boys assisted in the services, a fine and manly thing Ho do. Don’t let them fool you boys. Those of you who make good, will do so because you are far seeing enough to know that character, ability, i health and ambition are the qualities ' needed. Unless peace comes by Tuesday, England will be completely tied up by the worst strike in the history of that nation. A million coal miners are now out and an ultimatum has Z

been given tliut unless their demands are met at once, they will be joined by five million workers in 2U3 unions representing about every industry. Conditions are serious and there Is grave danger that an agreement between labor and capitol in that country is possible at this time. The Indianapolis Star is predicting the defeat of James Batson in the primary tomorrow while the News is guessing he will be nominated by a four-to-one vote over Adams, his young opponent. Watson of course has the organization but Claris has made a strenuous campaign, spoken in every district and unquestionably has a following. While he will probably be defeated, it will not be by any four-to-one vote and may be closer than the wise ones are predicting. If the mass of voters knew the issues we are sure the vote would be turned around from that of the News guess. We don’t like to complain all the time but the penetrated road extending from this city seven miles north and built at a great expense last year is "bleeding” tar so lively these days that those who can dodge driving over it are doing so. We don't understand yet just where the state saved any money either. The contract was nearly twenty thousand dollars a mile and the state has already expended almost that much, so that a brick or concrete road could have been constructed for about the same money and we finow now it would have been more satisfactory’. And no one seems to know just how long it will require to get the road in condition so that it can be used without spending the cost of a tire to have the tar removed from the car. Tomorrow is primary day and the big battle is about over, other than getting in the vote which is of course an important part of every campaign. In the democratic races ar e a bunch of the finest citizens and a lot of people regret that they must choose from among them, much preferring to vote for all, but this cannot be and all we can do is to use our host judgment as to which will make the best candidates and the best officers for don't mistake the fact that the men nominated on the democratic tjeket in this county tomorrow will be elected by a handsome majority next November. The democrats are together, they realize the hope of the state and nation lies in their victory and led by strong candidates for the United States senate and for state offices, they will sweep the state and this county. Finish the j<?b tomorrow by selecting the men best fitted to carry your patry banner. — o— — BSSS»BSSSSKB««BKg W TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY K it 1S From the Daily Democrat File E « Twenty Year* Ago Thia Day X ” SKKXKSSSSKKSKSSSB May 3, 1906— Meeting of Adams county bar endorses 11.

We be- | . lievo iu leaving the individual deci- ' sion to each man's judgment, .but we , do wish to urge you to exercise a I freeman's right in voting for some I one. It is your duty to take an active part in tomorrow's election. Have you come upon any traces . of the wiseacre who insists that politics is half humbug and that the candidates are a greedy lot of swivelchair Such erroneous _ views are utterly wide of the mark. We have great regard for the men L who are energetic enough to come out and wage a hard and trying campaign. l Those who have gone the pace know that the troubles and trials of a can- ( t didale are many. Even those who win admit that it is a hard won triumph 1 and the real service is still ahead. ’• Speaking of hard shakes, the writer witnessed a very busy candidate SatX urday evening soliciting the vote of his competitor. After noticing the hasty mistake, both candidates laugh- * ed heartily, exchanged a few words of greeting and stepped busy along. | r ‘ This secnis to be one of the coms mandatory features of this campaign. ’• It seems to bo free from all personal bitterness. As far as we know, there ® has been no "mud slipging” and all e actions are open and aboveboard. The X detuoaralic party will present a strong ticket at the general election. O.
