THE DEMOCRAT A LIVE WEEKLY Published Every Thursday Morning LEW G. ELLINGHAM JOHN H. HELLER SI.OO PER YEAR IN ADVANCE Entered at the Postoffice at Decatur, Ind., as second-class mall matter. OFFICIAL PAPER OF ADAMS CO. ROOSEVELT AND THE PEOPLE (From speech by Senator LaFollette, in Ohio.) "When the man who now wants the people to rule, came into office, kissing the Bible that Lincoln kissed in his oath to enforce the law, the Sherman anti-trust law was on the books, and it made it the duty of his district attorneys, all of whom he appointed and controlled, to prosecute the trusts and prevent their formation. When he took office he found 149 trusts and combinations doing business, getting their hands illegally into the pockets of the people and raising prices every hour. Do you get it? 149—remember that. It s worth getting well into your mind. Their combined capital was $3,784,000,000. When he turned over the office to Mr. Taft, after he had been in office seven years there were 10.020 trusts and their capitalization had grown to more thand thirty-one billion dollars capitalization, mind you, not money, for only 30 per cent of it is money and the other 70 per cent is this stuff here,” (tapping a pitcher of ice water.) If there were only 149 trusts in the United States when Roosevelt became president, as LaFollette charges, and 10,020 when he went out of office, as the senator also charges, how many are now in existence? The trusts grew up under the republican "protective” tariff, which Roosevelt during his nearly eight years in the white house refused to disturb, or allow to be disturbed. Roosevelt says that he is “for the people,” and Taft says he also is “for the people.” and yet the campaigns of both are being financed by the “powers of pillage.” In honor of the boys who offered their lives that the union might live, practically all the business houses of Decatur will be closed next Thursday, Decoration day. It is right and proper that hey should do so. It is a sacred holiday and should be so observed. The repudiation of Taft in his own state is perhaps another proof that a man is never without honor, save in his own home. It is also a further evidence of the fact that the people rule. The president said so himself in a speech in California not long ago and he no doubt realizes it more than ever now.

An enjoyable 8 affair was the party given by the boys j for the girls Monday evening at the home of William Bowers on First street.

' The friendship shower given Tuesday evening by the Misses Josephine Lang and Frances Coffee at the Lang 1 home, for Miss Alma Starost, a bride r of this month, was a delightful social e affair, the guests being the members f of the Poinsettia club with Which the I bride-elect has been associated as one o l of its most beloved and popular mem--1 hers. Seated at little tables, the guests devoted themselves to pedro. and the prizes were won, first, by Alice Knapp, second, by Agnes Coffee, and third, by Mayme Harting. A luncheon g took the place of the card playing la- ! ter, and music, by members of the club 1 was a delightful accompaniment. The

j shower came last, but not least, and I the assoituieul of beautiful gifts of 11111 en, pictures, chins, and a variety oi I many pretty and useful things, showI ed in a measure the esteem in which i the recipient Is held. They were I placed, wrapped in their dainty coverings, on a table, where the guest of honor unwrapped them at her leisure. The party Included the Misses Alma Starost, Alice Knapp. Lydia Miller, Mayme Harting. Edith Miller, Agnes Coffee, Genevieve Bremerkamp. Margaret Gallogly. Esther Corbett.

Miss Brandyberry, who is one of the graduates from the high school, will leave Saturday for Terre Haute, where she will attend the normal school during the summer. Mr. and Mrs. Loyal Woods accorded twenty of their friends a delightful entertainment last evening, the affair beI ing a general evening party. There • were gamer and contests and other 1 social diversions, with a delicious lunch. • -— o Lacked One Yea CONTINUED FF.r-J I aGE ONE the firemen for the operating of the fire truck, asked that they be given a plot of the various streets of the city to study and become acquainted so that in case of fire they will know exactly just what direction to go. A map believed to answer this purpose. left in the council room, was given to the firemen in answer to their request. New suits for the firemen were also suggested, but this is still undecided, and until the placing of the new city hall is as desired, no definite action will be taken. Jesse Niblick, who was some time ago notified to erect a board fence in front of the Kalver junk shop on North Second street, which was declared a nuisance, having failed to comply with the notice, will again be notified by the city marshal to make the improvement within the next ten days. A movement is on , 1 foot for the leveling off of the city wa- ; terworks grounds, and placing them in a more respectable condition, and will be looked into by the city improvement committee.

It is easier to preserve the color of the hair than to restore it, although it I it possible to do both. Our grandmoth- , ers understood the secret. They made a "sage tea" and their dark, glossy hair long after middle life was duo ■ . to this fact. Our mothers have gray ' hairs before they are fifty, but they . i are beginning to appreciate the wisdom of our'grandmothers in using I “sage tea” for their hair and are fast following suit. The present generation has the advantage of the past in that it can get a ■ ready-to-use preparation called Wy- , eth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy. , As a scadp tonic and color restorer this preparation is vastly superior to the ordinary “sage tea" made by our grandmothers. ' The growth and beauty of the hair depends on a healthy condition of the , scalp. Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy quickly kills the dandruff germs which rob the hair of its life, color and luster, makes the scalp j clean and healthy, gives the hair new 1 > strength, color and beauty, and makes . it grow.
