President Taft Is said to (suffer wound of feeling because his-admin* - ... .. . . . r 4 isthation has not given popular satisfaction. Few will been trying to do well and still fewer will dissent from the so far he has failed to meet expectations. Mr. Taft, however, cannot popularize his administration by insisting that the AldriCh thrift 18 a blessing and demanding trial the peopie approve it. There was not in the first place any obligation resting on him to go forth full panoplied over the country tilting his lance here and there and otherwhere in defense of the “best revenue measure” ’that ever mulctd a people. He then could have very well and very wisely waited for the tariff to speak for itself. It is not even now too late to do that. If it should fall out that Secretary Ballinger feel impelled to fly to the embrace of his erstwhile clientele and Attorney General Wickersham hear and heed the call of predatory Wall considerable that makes the Taft administration unpopular would have disappeared. The main trouble with Mr. Taft appears to be a little too much determination to vindicate his mistakes.—Fort Wayne Sentinel. Tomorrow morning the census enumerators for Adams county will begin the duty which comes only once in ten years, taking the census for 1910. To many, perhaps, this signifies but little, and yet it is most important that we all assist the enumerators in getting a correct, absolutely accurate count of the noses in the city and county. It stands for ten years, and on the population of a community often rests important decisions. If the'enumerator mises you, give them your name and that of your family anyway. The men are • Harry Fritzinger, Harve D. Rice and Free Frisinger for Decatur. Assist them in securing the census. It will be all over Jn fifteen days and there it no correction afterward. The taking of the census is on. It began all over the United States this morning, bright and early. In this city the enumerators must complete the work within fifteen days. This means they must move along. It is easy to overlook some one. Don't let it be you. We are all pfoud of our citizenship, and each of us goes toward making the eighty million. The omission of one person counts on the total for the city, county, district, state and nation, and upon this many things depend. If they miss you see that your name is on the list It costs nothing and it may. help. Besides we want to compare With other cities in this section in population. Congressman Crumpacker of., the — Tenth disrtict, a Taft republican, says that if the republicans had sueceeded in defeating the Payne-Ald-rich tariff bill “after five months of labor they would havehad In going before the country thi&.yeav> Their inability to rule would have been proved.” On the other hand Mri Beveridge’s wing of the party holds up the passage of the bill as evidence' o’ party perfidy. But as neither of the republican factions offer any , hope of real tariff reform the Voter who consults his own interests will give his support to the democratic party. SE9HB9BBSS29B9ES The enumerators are busy. They have but a short time to complete the work. Help them to secure a complete count. Get your schedule ready. If they miss you remind them. Such a thing is possible, but we want every person in the county on this list for it counts for ten years. The democratic convention at Indianapolis next week will prove an old time, gloriously democratic meet-

should attend. Adams county will . present the name of Lewis G. Ellingham tor the place of secretary of state, and it’s up to the boys from here to boost You can’t, do it unless you are on the ground. There will perhaps be no special train, but the cost is slight and these opportunities to attend state Conventions only come each two years. ~E. D. Cirumpacker, republican congressman from the Tenth district,, is running for re-election on a platform which; indorses the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill, He is making speeches in de-, sense of that bill in the district Mj. Beveridge’s state organization will not, it is said, allow any man speaking under its auspices to defend'the bill. It looks, therefore, as if there would be a sensational situation in the Tenth district. A hundred to boost for EUingham at the state convention is the -cry at present It’s the first time in history that an Adams county man has fought for a place on the state ticket It’s the time when every citizen should boost The convention is going to be a warm event and you will enjoy every minute of the time. Give your name to the census enumerator. Answer every one of the questions he asks you, even though they seem foolish. It is important that Adams county as well as Geneva, Berne, Monroe, ‘ incorporated towns and Decatur, as anlndotpOrated' city, make as good a showing as possible. Don’t let the boys miss any one. Every nose counts. . ' 11,. v> The Eleventh district convention endorsed the Taft administration, without any reservation an dthat includes 'Kt the Payne-Aldrich bill and all its unreasonable schedules, and then turn-, ed around and endorsed the Beveridge policies. It’s hard to figure, unless it’s just because they were both elected as republicans, Thomas R. Marshall for president in 1919 was the keynote sounded at the Jeffersonian banquet »t Indianapolis Wednesday evening, and vot,es are counted this fall Governor Marshall's boom will launch forth stronger than ever. Adams county should send a delegation of at least a hundred to the state convention. An Adams county citizen is making a fight for a place on the state ticket and men of every party wish Adams , county always ln front. f ap—qa———qOfssmß Has the census man got you yet? If he has and you have overlooked any one, hunt him up and tell him about it. If not don’t allow him to overlook you. We want every man, woman and child counted. Here are a few things you are requested to not overlook: If you have a boy or girl away to some university do not forget to tell, him Os it. : - -1- ■ If yo uhave children at school ’do not forget to tell him. If you have sons or daughters in SOUtaether jetty. visiting do not forget to tell him.

County Chairman D. N. Erwin has i a call for Adams county democrats : to attend the state convention at Indianapolis next week. It shows that Dan has the proper inspiration for this year, when every one is “up * on his toes,” and when the democrats 1 are going to win a notable victory. * Read his call in today’s issue.

The “9e- ’ der sprvice,” is observed on the first 1 bVhing of this festival in the homes, i and ig observed by appropriate pray, . er and the reading of the psalms, and in orthodox homes thia,service Is often extended into the next evening also: This festival is also f called the “festival of unleavened bread,” because the Israelites left in great haste at the time of their deliverance and were unable to wait until ,the bread became leavened. Orthodox Jews at the time of this celebration..remove every leavened thing in the house and only unleavened bread la eaten. I.

Charted James, who was accidentally killed at Lima, Ohio, last Friday. James wris twenty-one years of age and a bright, industrious yourig man. He visited here three weeks ago arid was quite' well known here. He made a trip through Ohio, looking for work, and was returning home. He stopped at Lima, and when trying to board a freight train, which would trike him home, he slipped and fell beneath the wheels. Both legs were cut off, as was one arm, and he died, twenty minutes after the terrible Accident The funeral services St Dunkirk were largely attended and were conducted by Rev. Shepherd of the United Brethren church, formerly located in this city. -James was formerly emp’.uywd in a glass factory at Muncie. * ’ ■* ■ o The plan so effectively used* in this county this year by County Superintendent L E. Opllger—the old-fash-ioned spellin’ down system—is to become very popular during the next year. State Superintendent Aley has become enthusiastic over the plan, and next year the winners of th«, county spellings will take part in a district contest, then the district winners in a,state contest and then in a national contest, the object being to find the best spelter' In the United States. Professor Aley is now working out the plans and the spelling school promises to become more popular jhan itwase ven ln,the old days. ’ Mr. Aley has always maintained the pupils in the schools today are better spellers than were their fathers and mothers. He doesn’t trike much stock in the early gentleman ■who always boasts how people spelled when he was a boy. He doesn’t Want fathers and mothers to be able to stand up and- tell their children that the old fashioned spelling bees were wonders in their disclosures in ability to construct words. He wants the younger generation to demonstrate to their elders that such a doctrine is ri bad misfit In recent spelling '.contests In the state pulls In the common Schools spelled approximately 5,000 words before being “spelled dtown,” a task of almost eight hours , straight work, and something their parerits, Dr. Aley thinks, could not havedtee. •' 'V'< There are those wbo have said that the superintendent is detracting from the other work Os the school when he is. taking such ah Interest in the tapdfiing. ’ ? He strongly denies that it fietrarite from other work dtlng 'the'''jtapil i i ; Jn other branches has been greatti’ creased by the spertfng ’matches; Verily nature to a wizards v Withone touch of her wand she can change her green rpbe arid her frees "with' their snowy’ fragrant blossoms to am ermine robe, and lifeless snowjladen blooms, arid k sdnny, -April day into a trpicfcl' winter W.

With their heavy leafy branches- they have form, ed a catch-all for the show, and the unusual weight has dragged the branches to the earth. In many cases the weight has snapped, off the branches and hundreds of the beauI tlful shade trees of the city are partially despoiled if not totally ruined. .This has brought to the mind of the elders the great snow storm of May 22,, 1883, one of the latest of the spring snows. At that time the corn was three inches high and in : had been plowed once. The snow came six inches deep arid then there ' was a fiercely cold period that kept * the snow on the ground three days. ; HM the cold come without the «no« J « « - •' 'l
