President Coolidge, repudiated in the primaries in Illinois, Jndiana and Pennsylvania, will begin to feel that perhaps he is not as popular as the big vote given him in 1924, indicated. The American voters certainly do change their minds quic’kly. A nineteen year old boy at Hartford City made three unsuccessful attempts to commit suicide this week. He swallowed poison, drank iodine and then hurled himself in front of an automobile. The lad ought to be put in a straight jacket for a while or he may injure himself seriously. A number of stop signs which will make Adams, Second, Monroe, Mercer, and Winchester, through streets, will be erected soon and au ordinance now being prepared, will be put into force as soon as possible. The new order will go a long ways towards regulation of traffic and making travel much safer in Decatur. Decoration Day should be and we presume will be. fittingly observed in this city. The G. A. R can no longer take charge of these events, but the Spanish-American. Sons of Veterans and World War Vfts should sde that the occasion is continued a day of reverence for those who offered their lives that this nation might continue. Don’t let it pass without appropriate services. The democratic editors of Indiana will gather at Martinsville, Friday and Saturday of this week and the sessions planned promise to be most interesting. Various organizations of * that city have combined in preparing a program of entertainment that will * interest the editors and many leading * democrats from over the state who will attend. William S. Vare. republican nominee for- United States senator in Pennsylvania, is a straight out yet and so conducted his campaigh. He will continue to wave that flag in the general election battle. His opponent, Mr Wilson, democrat, is opposed “ to changing the Volstead act. Now watch and see what the dry repub|i- - cans do there and whether or not they really put the prohibition quetsion ahead of their politics. L 11. Buisch. of Dayton, Ohio, will deliver a lecture at the exposition tomorrow evening and will address the business men at a dinner earlier in the evening. Mr Buisch is one of the best advocates of better retailing in America and you will not only enjoy his talks but profit by them. His talks at Fort Wayne, Kendallville and other cities of this section have received the highest praise. EDITORIALS $ 3 George Nesbit, former Ohio State university football hero, killed his wife a few weeks ago at their home in Troy, Ohio. His defense was that she made him so mad that he “saw red” and he was therefore indicted for second degree murder, plead guilty and was sentenced yesterday to life imprisonment. Now that’s a new defense that cap be used over this country, but be sure to make it red. If you get mixed up and change the •

color, some other grand Jury may der cide you are entitled to the death penalty. • Street merchants will hereafter conr r fine their activities on First street or east Madison, the city council having so decided last evening. Thq ordef is a very good one for the venders have beep getting rather thick about the f court house corner this spring. These travelers have been given the oppor- • tunity to thus dispose of their wares and then leave town with the money over the objections of a number of merchants, but it is difficult tq prevent, it the people wish to patronize them. However, they can be restricted as to location and this will be tried out this year. Twenty years ago, R. Earl Peters, who was yesterday elected democratic I state chairman, was a reporter on the 1 Daily Democrat, which work he did ‘ very satisfactorily for several years ■ while preparing for the legal proses- • sion. His career has been watched i with interest by his many friends here , ' and his success in life, attained while he is still a comparatively young man, I is another proof that effort is worth I while. After leaving here he was em- I ployed on the Fort Waynq Journal- I Gazette, became secretary to Congress- I man Cline, took a law course in a I Washington university and returning I to Fort Wayne, built up a splendid I practice. He is now a member of one I of the leading law firms in that city I and Is rated as one of the leaders of I northern Indiana. He has the pluck I and the ability and the ceasless en- I ergy to organize the democratic party I in Indiana and lead them to a victory I next November.
