dearly explained by Senator Watson and some of the other hoys when the campaign gets going next year. If you want a lesson In what • doles and high taxes will do study Australia where the national debt ’ is S9OO per capita and where they are ready for civil war If the pensions are not granted. The j trouble is they have included every 1 tliiug and there is no one left to 1 j pay but the beneficiaries and ttyey ’ | won’t do it, so it looks like the end I I I of the circle. The only defense the politician is offering when the depression question comts tip is that its world 1 wide. Well suppose it is, some nation will lead the way back and why not the United States? It' we sit and tweedle our thumbs and wait for China or Turkey or some other country to show first signs of prosperity, we may have to outlive .M tliusalah to enjoy some of it. Valuation on personal property in Adams county is off a million dollars from last year which means that unless substantial cuts are made in the budgets we will have to carry an increased tax rate next year. Under the law the budgets cannot 1« increased but to keep from boosting the rates, they will have to be cut considerably, which is causing the officers more or less concern these days. If some of those Europeans politicians are not careful they will find another world war starting and that would just about finish things for some of the nations at least. We are certainly in no condition to finance another foolish war just to please a few so-called leaders. An over supply of common sense is the commodity needed every where these days. This is a great time for the lovers of the world’s oldest sport—swimming — and there is nothing healthier or more delightful, which doesn’t mean not to be careful. Be your own life guard, don’t take chances, don’t go in over your depths unless you are a good swimmer and then be vareful, don’t fool around in a canoe unless you are able to swim out if it overturns. You can have more fun and live longer by using judgment in this and all other sports.

By the school board: Rev. E. A. Allen and Clark J. Lutz. The board was organized August 2, 1904, as follows: E. A. Allen, president: (’lark J. Lutz, secretary; E. X. Ehinger, treasurer. January 9, 1905, a deed for lot 97, located on South Third street was recorded in the name of the City of Decatur, for which $2,350 was paid. As the treasurer's report I shows, the buildings were subse-1 quently sold for $387. Mr. Oscar Hoffman of Decatur was employed as architect May 14, 19U5. Bids for tlie building were received • and I Mann £ Christen, being tlie low-1 ust, were accepted. It was for $9,850, this being almost the entire sum given by Mr. Carnegie. A shortage of funds stared the board in the face. They could not consent to put up a poor building and there was heating, lighting, and employment to he provided for. They decided to make another appeal to Mr. Carnegie and thought $2,000 additional would be ample. He replied that he would tie pleased to grant it, as the following letter I shows: Skibo Castle, Dornach, Sutherland. June Bth, 1905. Clark J. Lutz, Secretary Public Library Board, Decatur, Indiana.

ciived. Mr. Carnegie will be glad to increase his allowance for library building at Decatur from ten thousand to twelve thousand dollars, provided the council will guarantee a correspondingly increased amount for yearly maintenance, Respectfully yours, Jas. Bertram, Private Secretary. July 20, 1905, bids were opened and the heating plant (low pressure steam) was let to P. J. Hyland; W. G. Spencer, tlie electrical work; A. B. Smith & Brother, the plumbing; Kover & Son, tlie frescoing; and P. Gaffer, painting. Under the judicious oversight of the library Board, which held weekly meetings for consulation, everything was kept moving and all accessary expenditures were I eliminated. Nothing but the most improved material was used in any department and the result was a most beautiful library building that supplies a need long recognized by the intelligent members of the community, and is an ornament to our city, of which every citizen is justly proud. Through the courtesy of the contractor, C. N. Christen, and treasurer, K. X. Ehinger, a full description of the building and an itemized account of expenditures are here given: "Exterior face, grey Hydraulic brick, trimmed _with Bedford Oolitliic limestone, galvanized iron cornace, asphaltom gravel roof, blue Bedford stone steps and coping, the facade embellished by four large pediment which gives the building a very pleasing appearance. First tloor finished iu southern pine, stained and varnished to a dark oak finish. Second lloor with best quality white oak finish stained and varnished in English oak finish.”
