Commodore Decatur was born in Maryland and died there, tlie hands of a brother officer 1 irf*a duel fought in 1820. Thus he wss a native son of the state in wSich Annapolis is situated, as ' well as one of the most distinguishi officers of the navy for which the academy is maintained as a training school. 3’he act for which Decatur received the sword that has been presented to the naval academywhs his dash into the harbor of Tripoli on February 16, 1804, at the I.mid of a small party, to burn the Uw S.

♦ I — -♦ TODAY’S CHUCKLE ♦ (U.R) ♦ Smithfield, Utah. — Elliott Thornton, 16, has only one leg, but he is a member of the Smithfield high school track team, performing as a high Jumper. In a recent meet he i,l. ared the bar at 5 feet 6 inches while a crowd, deserting all other events at the meet, [ gathered to watch him. ♦-■ ■ ♦ corsairs of Tunis and Tripoli. A century and more has elapsed since these exploits. Americans are apt to let more recent and spectacular wars overshadow the importance of this first foreign war in which their country was engaged. The corsairs along the northern coast of Africa, allegedly with the encouragement of its European rivals, challenged the right of the United States to trade in the Mediterranean without paying them tribute. They tried to enforce their demands by seizing American ships and holding the crews and passengers for ransom. Washington referred the case of 14 Americans thus held by Algiers to the senate in 1790. A committee considered it; and finally reported agreement with the views expressed by Jefferson, secretary of state, that the alternatives were war, an annual stipend to the corsairs or abandonment of trading in the Mediterranean. Strong oppo* sition was raised to tde committee's recommendation that a navy be built as soon as the condition of the treasury warranted it and war on the pirates be declared. Senator Maclay, a dyspeptic pacifist from the backwoods of Pennsylvania, “vociferated," as he recorded in his diary, against spending halt a million dollars in fighting the Algerians, when their prisoners could be ransomed for $35,000! Apparently he did not see that a successful war would end payments for all time, as subsequent events proved, while the payment of tribute and ransoms would have continued until they far exceeded half a million dollars. The war eventually waged on the corsairs showed not only them, but our commercial rivals in Europe that, young and weak as it was, this country would fight; and the fortunes of that war proved that it could fight to excellent purpose. Among the gallant officers who then set a standard of skill and daring for their successors on the quarter-deck. Stephen Decatur stood foremost. The state highway commission is advocating lights along the state roadways which will no doubt come in the future and will help the fellow who has to change a tire about two a. tn. However they can probably find plenty of places to spend money for the next five years on now pavements. Miami, Florida, shows a gain under the new census of 273%, a rather substantial growth in a -city which has had s veral severe blows that would have headed off any ordinary community. That city has climate and water and a lot of live citizt ns to keep it going and growing despite any kicks on the shins. The Indianapolis News and other republican papers regretting the passage of the pension bill over the president’s veto, blames it largely on the democrats. Can you beat that? Remember congress is so republican that they have two or three parties inside their own. The political platforms may contain any kind of suggestions as to tax relief but remember that the legislature has to change the laws and usually when a bill comes out of that body it doesn't show any relationship to the one which started. Democrats are out this week soliciting support for candidates in tlie convention next week, a some- | what unusual thing in Indiana and I a fact that shows what those in touch with politics in Indiana see coming in November.

Scientists digging around some where in the far east have discovered a prehistoric skeleton of a man with his legs wrapped about his neck and some squibber wonders if the poor fellow was riding in a rumble seat when it happened. Seems as though we ought to be hearing something definite about the new postoffice building here soon.
