Portland voted “dry,” with a ma- , jority that will probably keep that city in the column not only for two years, ' but for a decade. Tipton, Wabash and i Kushville also gave “dry” majorities. , "■ Adams county has given notice that the old fair grounds must be planted ( in either corn er beets this year in- ’ I stead of being used as a pasture lot , That’s the spirit, put it in beets. Be progressive. ■ i n——» Advertising is the stock in trade of i a newspaper and no one has the right J to critisize the newspaper that sells t that space any more than he has the J right to criticize the merchant who sells £ his goods to those who pay his price. ( Much interest is being manifested I < in today’s local option election. The < campaign has been quiet but determined, each side working as hard as • they could. Whatever the result, it ! should be remembered that we are all for the old town and will do what we < can to make her go forward all the time. Let’s get together and do things. The country greets with the kindest feelings and in the most hopeful spirit, a new president. Much cant uas been written about the scholar in politics, but it is nevertheless true thatt when a scholar does get into politics! he is likely—if he also be a man—to I make a considerable stir. It has been | so with Woodrow Wilson, who is to be' president of “these states” for the next i four years. He is a man of high cour-1 age, clear vision, great intellectual capacity, and wide knowledge. No man who has held the office since the early days of the republic has had a more cultured and thoroughly trained mind. I Unlike Jefferson, Madison and the I Adamses in many ways he is like them ; in being a student and something oi a philosopher. It is with them rather ( < than with the presidents of a later j era, that the new executive must be < classed.
