I A familiar figure iu Decatur for many years, active in politic* and honored with several public offices is removed with the death of Edward Green. Years ago he was an accommodating conductor on the old interurban Hue, then operating between Decatur and Fort Wayne. He had a host of friends, was twice elected county sheriff and served one term us county recorder, in his prime ho probably knew more men in the county and their politics than any other local person. At the time of his death he was bailiff of the Adams circuit court and was on the job every day until his recent illness forced him to go to the hospital. He will be missed by many. This is Holy Week, most sacred of the year aud it is proper that we pause and meditate on Christ’s suffering and death. In keeping with custom, local stores aud offices are planning t<j close from 12 to three o’clock Good Friday afternoon, when Three Hour services will be held in the churches. The church awaits you aud at the foot of the Cross of Jesus you will receive consolation for which the ■ heart of man yearns. The cruci-1 fixion of the Son of God is the greatest drama ever enacted iu history and the Christian world moves under its spell. Let your thoughts turn to Calvary aud the sacrifice made there to save numkind. The Adams theater is showing a film on the "Hit and Run Driver. ' The picture has a wallop and tnose who have seen it come away with the thought that, first, the Hit and Run Driver should be classed as 1 Public Enemy No. 1; second, the driver who knocks down anyone and tries to get away without be- ] ing apprehended, lives a life of ! misery aud iu the end will be. I caught. A young man, who in the j present 'Uy language is “liquored ' up." gets behind the wheel, taking ‘ curves at 65 miles an hour, until ! something happens. He runs down a young man and woman. Instead of helping them and rushing them i to a hospital, he drives away iu, the darkness of the night. Through police vigilance he is arrested and watches the young man die. Even j though he had committed a crime in his recklessness, he would have ] saved a life had he picked up the injured and seen that medical care was given. It is a gripping presentation of the menace of the Hit and Run Driver and convincing proof that society does not hold any sympathy for him. o ' r twenty Years - * AGO TODAY I From the Daily Democrat File ♦ 4 Tpril 7, 1916. — Americans have! skirmish with Mexicans at Ten Villistas with slight losses.
