If half the charges they claim are true it ought to hare been an easy matter to hare started the dame on an indeterminate sentence some days ago. Auiurober of Adam* county veteran, have received copy erf the speech made by John A. M. Adair, congressman from this district on the bill »o pension the old soldier accord 1* to his age. It is a strong pie* for the bill, pre ring again that he does what be stands for during the campaign. It will be remembered that various arguments were brought to bear that Mr. Adair would not stand by the old soldier. He not only voted for this bill but spoke for it and did all be could to secure its passage. He does I not claim to be the author of it, but | he is deserving of the credit due for j supporting this as well as all otter j good measures. A representative named Wells seems to have special design* upon the public accounting law. He has presented a bill to reduce the salaries of the men employed in this work and was the author of the resolution compelling Mr. Dehortty to show just where and when and how they had I been a good investment for the state. That official it seems had the report I ready and would have filed same without any grand stand oratory or ree *_ i * tape orders. Just where the law has pinebed this Mr. Well* has not been made public, but it s a queer sort ot , an individual who can t see any gooc ; in the law. No doubt there are some parts of the law which need patching and repairing, to perfect ft, and there may be need erf radical changes, but It will not be done advantageously until the matter has been considered i in a calm and sane manner. W’e be-. 1 live the legislative committee will ‘ consider well any important change in this very important, modem meth- ( od law. I With only seven weeks remaining of, the present session of congress, which , 1 marks the end of republican control ' for at least two years, it looks as if it , were going to be, in affect, a do-noth- i ing congress, just as the politcal man-, 1 agers predicted. With each day the i 1 i < chances grow less for the legislation j that was demanded at the polls and , for the program that the president ; submitted for congressional consider-. I at ion. Thus personal selfishness and ' party policy absorb the attention of our statesmen, and they fail to “give | the business of the state precedence ( over the ambitions of men.” This has f always been more or less so; but it ' must be much less so in the near future or there will be subsequent effects which no statesmanlike explana- I tory eloquence can prevent. States- t men have been in the habit of running ’ the country as they please. The de-

It ought to be, a* we believe it is, doomed to failure. For no better law than this ha* been passed by the legiilature for many year*. The demand for it was bred of the wasteful careless and corrupt method* which - bad for s-i long prevailed. In two I ’ short years the law has done much to | end them. Men are figuring the cost of administering the law, against the amounts recovered from it, as though | jthey were really some force in this .contenuon. We are told of the costli- i nese of the new books with which it iwas necesary to equip the county and • township offices. Is there a business ■ house in the world that would hesitate to adopt a new system simply because the cost of installing it seemed to be large? Surely not. When this item is met it is met once and for all, while the law goes on saving money to the people. It is believed that enough tas been savel already from the most careful buying of supplies and the lower prices obtained to cover the entire cost of the new books. Far the first time, probably, in the history of the state the people are getting a dollar's worth ot supplies for a dollar. —Indianapolis New*. M. E. Brackett of the Decatur Motor ; Car company has just returned from I a several weeks’ stay in the east, having accompanied A. H. Barnard sales manager, to New York City and Boston with the fine new 1911 model motor truck. The car was taken to New Tork and exhibited in two shows —at : the Palace and Madison Square Gar- -1 dens. It was the unanimous opinion i of all the people at the show that the Decatnr was the prettiest in deeign, ' the moet accessible and the beet con- I strutted of any car. The car was also ' i demonstrated at Boston and at point* j between New York City and Boston ' 1 The New England agency was placed . 1 with the Taylor Motor Sales company 1 j at Boston. Mr. Barnard, sales man-'' I ager, will remain in Boston a week or j two and in the near future another j car will be sent to New Tork to an 1 established New York agency. The < agency has given an order for seven- i ty-five trucks, which is the largest s order ever placed by the company, or' i by any manufacturer at either of the j shows. The future of this company is assured, and those in charge are con- t fident that it will outclass al! the oth- c er industries of the town. t <j w- ! c Attorneys Hooper & Lenhart filed a t new case entitled Decatur Lumber d Company vs. Jesse 0.

The regular meeting of the Knights of Columbus was held Monday evening at their hall, at which tine several business questions were acted on and disposed of. After the meeting was ended a sort of an entertainment was given in honor of the outgoing officers, who served during 1910. It was one i of the most interesting gatherings held by the council for some time and between ninety and one hundred member* were on hand to take part. ' Andrew Mylott of Chicago was among 1 the honored guests of the evening and ■ during the event favored those present with several vocal selections. Mr. Mylott, who Is employed by a large music house in the east, is an excellent vocalist and his singing was one 1 of the principal features ot the evening. Albert Numbers was also called 1 into service and did his part well at ' the piano by accompanying the singer, i After the entertainment was ended a 1 lunch was served by the committee, | and those present considered the ■ i gathering of Monday evening the best held for many a day. The installation of the new officers will take place in a short time and another meeting, i similar to the one of Monday evening 1 1 will be had. I < —— o— Indianapolis, Ind..

Seventy-five farmers —and these by ( the way include those who love the farm and have its interest at heart, though they may reside within the town walla— assembled at the Sunday school room of the Methodist church Tuesday a. m. to enjoy the ' opening session of the annual institute of the Adams County Farmers’ association, and the attendance this afternoon was even larger. They were not disappointed in the belief that it would prove to be the best one of , the fifteen institutes which stand to , the credit of the association, and as I i one of the officials of the institute re-1 marked this morning, "it is a corker." | The institute was called to order this morning at 9:30 o’clock by the chairman, Charles Mumma, and all the oth-1 er officials in their chairs, including D. C. Sprunger of Berne, secretary, and William Miller, treasurer. It was arranged that Mrs. E. H. Lyon, president of the Women’s Auxiliary, shot Id preside at the afternoon sessions. Mrs. John Evans, secretary, and Mrs. E. S. Christen, treasurer of the Woman's Auxiliary, were also present. During the morning session, the chairman appointed the committees: On resolution—A. W. Gulick, E. H. Lyon and E. C. Martindale. On Organization—Ed S. Moses, Charles Payne and A. J. Porter. Owing to the revivals in progress at the various cv’urches in the city at this time a vote was tahen to dispense with the evening session of the institute, which was unanimously carried. One of the ministers present invited the assembly to the revival, stating that if they came, he would preach the parable of the sower. Among the instructors from out of town who took part in the or’-gram, illustrating their practical talks with charts, were E. C. Martindale of Wilkinson and Miss Grace Woodward of Lafayette. We are indebted to the secretary, D. C. Sprunger. for the following account of the Institute proceedings The fifteenth annual session of the Adams County Farmers’ institute opened with music by Helen Fonner.
