The school exhibits were well worth seeing and the teachers as well as the pupils have a right to feel Vnighty proud of the splendid accomplishments of the year so well displayed by the exhibits in the various buildings. * Another fine old day that made every one throw back his shoulders and laugh at discouragement. The fellow who will try has a better op- — portunity now than ever before. Don't let any one fool you into believing any thing else. Decoration Day will be observed in this city Sunday and Monday. Graves will be decorated Sunday morning and in the afternoon a program fitting for the occasion will be rendered. On Monday all business will ceas e in Decatur as well as in every town and city over the land. The occasion should be and to many is, one of the sacred ones of the year. Scientists now claim they are on the verge of producing an alcoholless intoxicant which will make you •’tighter'' than moonshine but which wlh "be as harmless as grape juice. That may be for the fellow who drinks it or inhales it or however he gets it but how about rest of ‘society who have to put up with his silly chatter or his vicous temperament? This is commencement day and a large class of boys and girls will enter life's work tomorrow, splendidly equipped for the battle in comparison with those who started a decade or two ago. They have the ambitions of youth, the health, the vision and the education and with proper encouragement and opportunty will go far. W e again congratulate class and faculty for their successes. The republican state platform recommended modification of the primary law ami repeal of the absent voters ballot. They dodged the farm bureau federation's request for a plank favoring a state income tax law. There are earmarks of the old time politician's desire to please both sides of each question by saying as little as possible. Senator Watson evidently still believes that the way to fool the voters is to use a lot of fine sounding words without saying any thing. Earl Carroll is guilty of perjury and decent, people hope he will be sen,tenced to five years in prison and the |5,000 fine which the statutes of New York state provide. He is also guilty of a bigger wrong, though the jury did not say so. For the purpose of feecuring publicity he employed a seventeen-year-old girl to become indecent and several hundred people who were fools enough to attend his famous bath tub party have secured more publicity than they care for. He should be made to suffer aud its a shame they can't send his companions with him. Doc Sherwood, who has served as state superintendent of public instructions for two years, was turned down by the republican state convention yesterday when Charles Miller

lot Goshen was nominated for that 1 • position. Don't know as we blame them much but since it has been the custom always to give the second nomination for a two-year office to the incumbent, its a safe guess that > the friends of Sherwood will not feel very kindly. It may have been a love feast us news dspatchee would have us believe but between the lint's there I are shown several discordant notes. —————— i Judge Schannen, of Fort Wayne, has adopted a new policy whereby he metes out jail sentences to drunken drivers and flagrant speed law violators and then suspends the sentence it the autoist surrenders his license plates for the period of the sentence. It makes good publicity but it don't amount to much as punishment. The autoist who drives his car while intoxicated ought to be given a dose that will make him remember that he is endangering the lives of hundreds of other people. Os course he would under the circumstances speedily agree to the request of the court to surrender his license plates for ten or fifteen days and then when outside the court room chuckle at the easy Judge who let him get away with it so easily. Senator Robinson in his keynote speech at the republican state convention devoted a lot of time to praising the ten congressman of his faith from Indiana, boosted Senator Watson and admitted that he himself was no slouch. It may be alright but to most folks in this day and age it reads rather partisan and without argument. He failed to explain satisfactorily why the senate and congress had mussed up the farm relief bills and failed in numerous other matters to do the tilings the country is demanding. He had the unmitigated nerve to argue also that times are wonderfully good. They are for those who draw SIO,OOO or more per annum and the extras from the government —but they are not' so doggone good for the ordinary fellow who has to earn his living. o RKSSSKSSSSSKKSSSg ■ TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY K a k i From the Daffy Democrat File ■ 54 Twenty Yean Ago Thia Day K 8 ■ SKBSKKRSSSSXSSSSiS May 28.—Russia is threatened with a serious revolution.

Steve did not, fire a third time; Qulnnlon held Are. For Lee had made no answer and they were taking heavy chances with every shot now, chances of shooting the wrong msn. Each of the four watchful men in thenarrow apartment; breathed softly. Once more Lee lifted his gun above his head. As he held it thus, he put out his left hand gently, Inch by inch, gropingly. Extended full length. It touched nothing. Slowly he moved It in a semi-circle, the gun In his right hnnd always ready to come crashing down. His fingers touched the wall; then moving hack assured him that no one was within reach. Lifting a foot slowly, he took one cautious step forward, toward the spot where ha hnd last seen Qulnnlon. Again his arm, circling through the darkness, sought to locate for him one of the men who must be very near him now. Suddenly It brushed a man's shoulder. There was a sharp, muttered exclamation, and again a flare of red flnme as this man fired. But he had misjudged Bud Lee’s position by a few Inches, the bullet cut through Lee's cont, and Lee’s clubbed revolver fell unetrlngly, smashing into the man's forehead. There was a low moan, a, revolver clattered to the floor, a body fell heavily. “A new situation.” thought Lee. Three men down before a clock could tick off as many minutes and not » single man shot It was a place for a man like Charlie Miller with his old pickhandle. « “Bud," called Carson's voice sharply, “are you all right?" “Yes,” answered Lee briefly, and as he answered moved sharply to one side so that his voice might not draw n shot from Qulnnlon or the other men. There came two spurts of flame, one from each of the corners of the room opposite him. the reports of the two shots reverberating loudly. But thia was mere guesswork—shooting at nd more definite thing than a man's voice, and Lee having moved swiftly had lit-, 'tie fear. And he knew pretty well where those two men were now. So did Carson, who from without fired in twice through the window. Then again it grew so silent that a' clock ticking somewhere out in the barroom was to be heard distinctly, so that again the men guarded their breathing. Lee thought that he knew where Qulnnlon was, in the corner at hta right close to the rear wall. Not square in the corner, of course, fotj having fired he was fox enough t«i shift his position a little. True, no' sound had told of such a But Qulnnlon could be trusted to make no sound at a time like this.' Lee. equally silent, again set a slow foot out, moving cautiously toward the spot where his eyes sought Qulnnlon in the dark. > He was calculating swiftly now; QulPAion had fired twice from the screen of the table just as Steve shot out the light; he had fired again Just now, It was a fair bet that at least one of the other khots had been his. That meant that he had fired four times. If Quinnion still carried his old six-shooter he had hut two shots at moat left to him, for there had been no time which he would risk tn reloading. f ; ’ Lee swept off his hat and tossed ft out before him to the spot where he believed Qulnnlon was and dropped swiftly to his knee as he did so. There was a snarl, Quinnion's evil snarl, and a shot that sped high above ihls head. His hat had struck Qulnnlon full in the face. Then Lee again .sprang forward, again struck out with ■his clubbed revolver. The blow missed .Quinnion’s head but caught him heavily on the shoulder and sent him staggering back against the wall. Lea could hear the bulk of his body crashing against the boards. And again leaping, he struck the second time at Quinnion. This time there was no snarl, but a falling weight and stfilneas. 1 There was a sound of a chair violently thrown down, the scuffle of Siasty feet and In the door the faint blur of a flying figure seeking refuge in the bar. Lee flung the crippled door shut after the fugitive and then with his left hand atruck a match, his irdgalver refidy in hfs right ’ “ (TO BE CONTINUED) It ■ I --O— — Wabash — Citizens here decided i! was time to enter a complaint whet .families residing on Park avenut built a chicken pen and rabbit hom< in the center of the street.

Doctors are somewhat opposed to this, believing that In order z to insure life thff girls should be left at the hospital. Meanwhile an argument is going on here as what should be done in the strange case which is paralleled only once in the history of American medics. One side contends the children should be given a chance at life; two doctors have announecd that the children should be disposed of. These two are Dr. Walter Baker and Dr. H. S. Campbell. * Both point out the babies would be a burden on society and on themselves so long as they live. Dr. Campbell pointed out there was ' an old Chinese law that provided for 1 disposal of such cases but that [under Americans the children must live. The father has indicated he would like to receive word that the children were dead. Chicago. May 28— (U. P.)—The Medich twins should live—it is their right—Chicago medical, legal and theological leaders declared today. I Three child specialists—Dr. J. K. Calvin, Dr. Isaac Art, Dr. Gerard N. Krost—declared no physician should cause or further death to the two. Judge John P .McGorty said he was unqualifiedly opposed to any attempt to dispose of the two children while Rev. Wm. McNamee pointed the children were born with souls and that it was contrary to Christian principle to consider furthering death. o_ D. V. B. S.
