Consciously or unconsciously. The question each one Is asking himself is, “How shall I make my strength count for most in this world of effort?” And this is a question which every one ought to ask himself, but not for the purpose of selfish gain, blit for the sake of usefulness in the world, for the sake of happiness cf those he loves, for all humanity. We need to take a retrospective view of the past to determine the great advancement made within the

’ last few years. It seems as though only yesterday that Franklin sent his little kite up into the thunder-gust In order to catch the lightning In a bot- - tie. An act never perceived of before. A phenomena that baffled the entire civilization. It seemed as though the greatest miracle in history had been performed, but it would seem a thou'sand times greater to the people of 'that time to know that the matter termed electricity Is now harnessed i and Is the great means of our present life. It drives ships through the greatest storms, it is the power that gives us light nearty as bright as that which reaches us from the sun, but may I ! venture to say that the things that i can be done with electricity are yet in an embronlc stage, that the future will reveal a great deal more than the past. I Recently much has been done for the preservation of forestry, for public improvements, for the rearing of fine stock and the prevention of animal and plant diseases, but we are just beginning to realize that the race needs attention and improvement as well as stock and crops. This can be brought about only through the study of mankind, his relation to his surroundings, his traits, his characteristics and things he is able to do. In I this study every one has a part, but I wish to emphasize the part of the medical profession. Dean Emerson, of the Indiana Unijversity School of Medicine, probably the greatest authority on pathologv, has realized this fact for a long time and is gradually meeting the conditions. Dr. Emerson’s idea of a doctor is that he should be "a high-mind-ed man," with a sympathy for his fellow man, not entering upon the pro- j session for the mere purpose of making money but from a far greater standpoint, “that of being a help to ward the advancement of health conditions among mankind. He says that a man should enter the profession .from no other standpoint than that. which forced Christ to come to his, own. One should enter it from the standpoint of giving his life for his fellow-man, and he even went so far . as to say that if he found out that stu- i dents were studying medicine for the 'purpose of making money they would be plucked from the bunch long before the final examinations before the state board should take place. Recently the ; faculty at Indianapolis adopted the resolution that no one will be granted | a diploma of medicine who is not ■ clean morally and sound physicially I i One of the purposes of a university , is to find out things now unknown i The pathological laboratories at Indi-1 anapolis under Drs. Emerson and ' Gotch, axe doing as much in the way of research as any other medical j school in the United States. These doctors with their assistants not only i spend much of their time in research, i but require the students to do a re- > quired amount of work in the labora-' tories in their medical course. Further than this, employment is offered; to as many students as care to work j during vacations. The Lilly estab- ‘ lishment is probably doing as much in ' this line as any other institution of, its kind in existence. Most of us can remember but a few years ago the greater number of[ deaths that occurred through contagous diseases, such as typhoid, ma-I laria, diphtheria and many others. To-j day deats caused by typhoid fever or any of the contagions diseases are I few, and a doctor that loses many of • | these cases is beginning to be looked upon with a questionably look from I those of the medical fraternity, because in the first place, these diseases , can be prevented, and second, if the disease has started to take its course it can be headed off from doing serious damage to the patient if proper : precautions are taken. ■ All this progress is the result of research work done in the laboratories of the great universities of the country. Many of these universities like our own. are supported by direct taxes. Hence, the taxpayers have a , right to demand what is being done with their money; and an institution which derives its support from taxes paid by citizens of the state may with justice be asked to make returns commensurate with the amount of aid re- • ceived. Dr. W. L. Bryan, president of Indiana university, insists that its 'most important contribution to the state, is the men and women which it ■ sends back to society with hearts and ' minds trained for useful citizenshio. But it is the purpose of this article to show that entirely aside from the training of its students in culture and citizenship, the university can and 1 does make a return to the state in dol- ■ lars and cents which far exceeds the : amount that it receives in the way of ■'taxes. I! The people of Indiana, through their i legislature, have recently set the .' stamp of approval on the work of the . university by an increase in the an- ' «ual appropriation, and I as an I. IT. student, wish in this manner to tender my thanks to the people for their i hearty response to the appeal of the i state schools and to congratulate the ; state for the forward step she has

i taken. Yours truly, i MURL E. FULK. i • The new Interstate drainage la* passed by the last legislature of Indi- > ana, through which adjoining counties ■ (divided only ny the state line highway,’ may join in the dredging of streams, or the construction of drains, may be' •'found especially applicable in Jay, •I Adams and Randolph countlee, tn Indiana, and th* adjoining counties in Ohio. | Land owners of north Jay and southi' em Adams counties, along the Wabash river, are just now being permitted to ' enter their fields to plow and get ths . ground in shape for the spring planting. The delay was caused by tho . floods the latter part of March and ( , some farmers along the immediate icourse of the Wabash river are yet held back In their work because the .'ground Is too wet The same Is said • to betrue in Randolph county along . ithe course of the Miseisefnewa river. Water let out of the Grand reeervoir , at Celina, which found its way into the Wabash river after the floods, served to hold the waters in Jay cosnty beyond the original course of the stream and this, too, caused the water to stand over many fields longar than itl j would otherwise have done. The new interstate law may be tak-1 , en advantage of in this and Adams • counties, it is said. Petitions filed heretofore in which it was sought to have the Wabash river dredged, were thrown out of court by a two-thirds remonstrance, but thia, it Is claimed, would not be permissible under the new law where the required number of petitioners join in an effort to bring about relief or protection from high waters. The new law, however, does permit landowners to remonstrate against assessments. I The condition in the vicinity of New Corydon is one that landowners along the immediate course of the stream have just cause to fear. Mercer county, Ohio, has dredged that portion of the river pasing through- that state to a point west of the state line in Indiana The water is brought down Into Jay county much more quickly than prior to the time the stream was dredged and with the lower end yet to be widened and straightened by the dredging process, much property ramage occurs at every high water. —Portland Sun. I As the time for the close of thei school year and the employment of thel : teachers for the next year approaches, 'the usual iqjerest in the result is man- ' ! ifest Two weeks ago the school board 1 adopted a resolution that all teachers ’ I desiring a place in the school next 1 year should respond by filing applies- > tions by the 23rd of the month. To ■ ' this all have responded, excepting ■ Miss Sutton, the science teacher, who ■ has tnade other plans, and Supterin- I tendent Rice. It is likely that there ; .will be bnt few changes. At the regu- : lar meeting of the board Friday even- ! ; ing, about thirty patrons of the school, appeared, asking the board that Mr. I [Rice be retained for another year. 1 i Short talks were made by Dr. Boyers, ' French Quinn, Dick Myers, J. L. Gay, ID. N. Erwin, C. L. Walters, Henry ‘ • Krick W. J. Archbold. A motion ’ made by J. T. Myers carried that the re-election of Mr. Rice would meet the' j approbation of those present The 1 meeting was friendly and to these talks short replies were made by each ’ [member of the board, each assuring ’ the men present that they wished to £ do the beet thing for the schools. No e action was taken and will probably not i ’ be at once. Mr. Rice was out of the ‘ city today. The regular meeting of the board followed the session with the visitors 1 and the board decided to submit the proposition from the state board con-; 1 cernlng the making of a levy for aJ 1 sinking fund for the building of a new " school house to Attorney C. L. Luta,' ,J who will render an opinion Monday, i’ The board allowed the bills, includ-1 ( Ing the teachers’ salaries, and attend- * ed to other routine business affairs. o 1 1 THE WHITE SISTER. , —• ! At the Bosse Opera House Monday , Evening, April 28th, ■ ’ It is generally thought, when one i first sees that “The White Sister” is j i to appear at the theater, that it deals ’ ; wholly with religion. Such is not the I case. On tne contrary, a love story is woven in this wonderful play that is : ■ unsurpassed for intensity and naturalII ness. There is also enough lightness I in the performance to satisfy the d-> l ; sire for a smile, and the play in gen-' • eral is one that appeals to all, wheth-1 i er they be young or old, wives, moth- ' !ers or sweethearts. Love, without doubt, is one of the. •' greatest elements in our lives, and re-1 i ligion is another. Which should come ■ first is a question that has destroyed more happiness, broken more homes | . and has been the cause of more misery | ■: perhaps than any other that will ever • arise. It is this same question which ■ the author, F. Marion Crawford, has : used for his greatest play, “The White ; Sister," which will be at the Bosse

theater, Monday, April 28, one night only. AMONG THE LEADERS. That American care stack np with foreign made cars was demonstrated in the recent tour of France reliability (run of 2,680 miles. Out of twentyeight starters, only nine came home with an absolutely clean score, and one of these was a Buick, the only American car entered. The test was backed by the newspaper L’Auto, to establish whether or not a light car with a chassis not to exceed $1,600, could make a complete circle around France .taking In the Alps and Pyrenees, with no more than ten minutes each morning for oiling ( and adjustments. The competition 'called for an average of 19 miles an hour on each daily run, and the toe boards, underpan, bonnet and radiator filler cap had seals which could be broken every morning for ten minutes only. The trip had to be made in fifteen days, this including twelve running days, when the mileage varied from 190 to 254, and three days which were given up to public exhibitions. SUFFRAGE PLEAS TODAY. (United Press Service) • Washington, D. C., April 26—(Special to Daily Democrat)—Arguments for a constitutional amendment to get the women ballots were made today before the senate commission bv a score of women suffragettes of national prominence, including Dr. Anna Shaw, Mrs. Robert LaFollette and Helen Gardner, authoress. "The real issue for equal suffrage,” said Mrs. LaFollette, “is not whether all women and men should demand the right to vote, but whether it is for the Interest of the home, society, and government that people as a whole shall debate over the governmental laws. Are we not people?” t> , I On account of the fact that Mrs. McWhirter, the state president, will not be able to be in Anderson on April 30, the time set for the district meeting of the Indiana Federation of Clubs, the date has been postponed until May 21. The district chairman, Mrs. J. H. Morris, of Union City, is very desirous of having a large attendance and all club members of Decatur clubs are given an urgent invitation to attend. Mrs. John Bolinger, chairman of the April section of the Mite society, and her assistant. Mrs. L. C. Annen, entertained the society Friday afternoon at the Methodist church, a large number of ladies being present. A pleasing musical program was rendered, Mrs. Jesse Sellemeyer and Mrs. W. P. Schrock gave vocal solos, the Misses Andrews and others gave piano selections. The new pastor, the Rev. Stephenson, was also present and gave a talk. Refreshments of ice cream and wafers were served. Mr. and Mrs. Harve Hilyard of Akron, Ohio, will be guests over Sunday of Mr. and Mrs. George Appleman and family of West Monroe street. Mesdames Hilyard and Appleman are sisters. ■■ The Geneva schools closed a most successful term Friday afternoon, with appropriate exercises. The exercises were held in the auditorium and participated in by all. Musical selections and readings, by the classes, were giv- ; en and at the close all joined in singing, “God be With You Till We Meet , Again.” The enrollment of the schools this year has exceeded all others. There were 350 students, of which < number 70 were high school students. The commencement exercises were held Thursday evening, sixteen receiving diplomas. The class lecture was given by J. Boyd Jones of Anderson. A reception was given last evening by the seniors for all the high school students, and was one of the most happy affairs of the commencement week. This was given in the Shamrock hotel. Superintendent H. F. Griffey and the vice principal, Miss Myrtle Lung, ' have been retained for another year. There will be a number of changes in .the teachers’ staff, but these are not yet known in full. Miss Velma Daniels ■Of this city is one of the grade teachers. After busying themselves with their sewing the Orient club ladles were' pleased to take up an interesting I apron contest at the home of Mrs. Burt Mangold Friday. Mrs. Bart France . scored the highest and was awarded ' the prize. Refreshments were served. 1 | Mrs. W. H. Nachtrieb of Goshen and Mrs. J. W. Tyndall were guests of Mrs. i F. M. Schinneyer at tea. I Miss Glee White of Willshire, Ohio, is the week-end guest of Miss Effie ' Miller. | The Sewing club welcomes the return of one of its former members, Mrs. W. H. Nachtrieb, of Goshen, who is visiting here. In her honor, Mrs. P. G. Hooper gave a very pleasing dinner party at noon today. Mrs. F. M.

Hcktrmeyer was a guest besides th* following clulT members: Mesdames Dan Sprang. A. R. Bell. P. B. Thomas. J. T. Merryman and J. C. Patterson. One of the delightful dinner parties for Mrs. Chauncey Furman of Marion. Ohio, and Mrs. W. H. Nachtrieb of Goshen was that given by Mrs. J. W. Tyndall. Covers were also laid for the following: Mrs. C. A .Dugan, Mrs. Roy Archbold, Mrs. D. D. Heller and Mrs. J. H. Heller. —o - Miss Vonna Sells, a former Decatur young lady, daughter of Ora Sells, was quietly married Friday afternoon at 3:30 o’clock In the Allen county clerk’s office In Fort Wayne, to Mr. Earl Fry•er. Mr. Fryer is a popular young business man of Fort Wayne, employed at one of the Meyer Bros.’ drug stores In Fort Wayne, and is said to be a fine young fellow. Friday was the bride s sixteenth birthday anniversary. The groom is nineteen years of age. With them for the ceremony were the parents of both, who agreed to the securing of the marriage license. Miss Sells is a daughter of Mrs. Amanda Hamrick, and since leaving here last fall, they have been living in Fort Wayne. After the wedding, the newly married couple left on a wedding trip to Michigan. They were to be joined on their trip by a couple of friends, whose wedding was Friday evening. Mr. Fryer has a home furnished in advance for bls wife at 1105 Lake avenue. Fort Wayne, The publie had almost forgotten the Opliger-Baumgartner controversy of several months ago and had supposed that the hatchet had been hurried until this morning when another chapter seems to have been started. Among the teachers who presented themselves at the high-school building for the purpose of taking the teachers high school examination was Mr. Baumgartner teacher of German in the Decatur high schools. When Mr. Opliger distributed the questions he did not include the German teacher. The latter waited some little time and then asked the county superintendent if he was not going to provide him with paper and questions to which question Mr. Opliger is said to have replied that he certainly was not as he could not recommend him for a license. Mr. Baumgartner has taught in the schools ’ here for several years and has many > friends over the county. He became I involved with the superintendent some ' months ago over some family troubles, resulting in his license being revoked He appealed th* case and ths state superintendent reversed the decision Just what action will now be taken is not known. It would be impossible for Mr. Baumgartner to take the examination in any other county without the recommendation of Mr. Opliger and he may be forced out of school work. Attorney D. B. Erwin and Dan Erwin are in receipt of word of the death of their only paternal uncle, Richard Kenney Erwin, sr., which occurred Friday night at 7 o'clock at his home in Abolte township, Allen county. He had been ill some tlma and his death was not unexcepted. He was elghtyone years old and was th* last living one of hfs father’s children. He was the youngest of the family, his brother, David, father of D. B. Erwin, being the oldest of the children. Richard also had the distinction of living to be the oldest He was first married to Miss Margaret Armstrong. After her death, he was married, June 5, 1863, to her sister, Mrs. Louisa J. Armstrong. The couple celebrated their golden wedding last June, the event being a most happy one. He leaves several children. Mr. Erwin had been a resident of Allen county since 1832. Very soon all vehicles used by rural mall carriers in the delivery of mail over their routes, will be painted red — a bright vermllllon. This Include* the running geers as well as the top or canvas part of the vehicle. According ' to the new ruling each wagon purchas- ' ed in the future must be painted red; or if the old wagon be repainted. It must be dine in red. Until the old one is worn out and a new one is purchased, or the old wagon has reached the state where a new coat of paint is needed, the old garb will be in order, as the red paint applies only to that of J a new wagon, or the required repaintling of the old. The ruling says “all vehicles." , Whether this includes motorcycles and ' automobiles, several of which are used ■on the routes from Decatur, is unknown. TROUBLE WITH SECTION MEN. Seven section men employed by the Clover Leaf in Delphos have given up 1 their work on account of a failure to [ receive an increase in pay they asked for Monday. The men have been receiving $1.50 per day and made a request to the company that the daily wage be increased to $2,00. The company agreed to increase their pay to $1.65 per day, but this was refused and the men of one of the section

crews her* quit work Wednesday i morning. It la rumored that those em-1 ployed on another crew there will ( quit Th* section m*n at Ohio City | ar* also out on a failure to receive ’ the increase asked for and it is re- , ported that all the section men be- ( < tween Delphos and Decatur will leave j the employ of the company. It Is un-/ derstood that the men are willing to , compromise and take $1.75 per day, i but that they will not return to work i at the advance in wages offered. ■ Bluffton Banner. —— Decatur citizens, who have long! been familiar with the name of Dr. J. N. Hurty, secretary of the state board of health, and the active campaign,he has waged for the health of its citizens, will be pleased to hear that his longpromised talk to Decatur people will be given next Tuesday. Dr. Hurty will speak in the morning to the high school students and some of the grade pupils on the health Issues and in the evening at 7:30 o’clock will give a lecture at the M. E. church, illustrated with stereopticon views. This lecture will be free. A general invitation is extended. Dr. Hurty’s lecture will come as a finale to the hygiene series inaugurated for the local high school, and which, is Is assured, have been mori successful in bringing a better view of right living before the young. Th, last address given by local talent was that of this morning, when Prof. E. E. Rice spoke on "Eugenics.” He considered this from the standpoints of heredity and environment and gave an excellent talk. He was succeeded by Drs. Thomas and Boyers, each of whom gave talks, short, but to the point. o_— Elijah Walters of First street, this city, and his daughter, Mrs. Burt Miller, will leave tomorrow morning early for Defiance county, Ohio. They go to attend the commencement exercises of the high school, their grandson and nephew, Don Walters being one of the graduates. A notable fact is that the grandson is only fourteen years old, and it is a very unusual occurrence for one so young to receive a diploma from the high school. It is significant, though, that his ap tltude for learning was manifest at a very early age. He could read when he was only three years of age, and his abilities have ran ahead of and out- ' stripped hfs physical growth. He is • the youngest one of his class. The lad , is a son of Homer Walters, formerly of this city. Finleyville, April 26—(Special to Daily Democrat) —Ninty-three dead bodies have been recovered from the Cincinnati coal mine. Although It is believed that there can be no less than a score dead or alive still intombed, the rescuers brought to earth alive early today two men and which gave anxious relatives fresh hope. Charlee Crawl and Philip Legler, the men rescued alive were taken to a hospital immeadiately weakened by 52 hours of starvation and impris onment with only two syces of bread between them for food. "In one room." said Crawl, “we found an old man and his son alive. They were weak from starvation. We tried to pull them along but had to give it up. I thought I would go insane. My mind was beginning to give away when we saw the light of the rescuers.” Washington, D. C., April 86 —(Special to Dally Democrat) —Physical valuation of the Railroads of the country will be made without further delay. The Inter-state commerce commlslon stated that they had nearly completed the election of a board of engineers to take charge of the work. Washington, D. C., April 26—(Special to Dally Democrat) —The arrest of Charles C. Glover, millionaire president of the Riggs National Bank, by sergeant at arms, and his appearance before the house on the charge of contempt because of assault made upon Representative Sims of Tenneaee, was recommended today to the house by the sub-committee who Investigated the affair. Glover will probably not be brought before the house until after the tariff bill is passed. Washington, D. C.. April 26— (Special to Daily Democrat) —Wearied from the exertion of the tariff bill, office seekers, and the California-Japan developement. President Wilson today boarded the yacht Sylph and started on a cruise down the Potomac and into the bay Intending to stay away until tomorrow night. His daughter;' Eleanor and his physician accompanied him on the trip and all work will i be left behind.

The time for the filing of exemptions Is fast drawing to a close ' and unless many take advantage of the opportunity the time will have expired before they have attended to the matter. In many Instances it is thought that the time for filing does not end until the time has expire! for paying taxes, but thia is an error, as April 30 is the last day in which the exemptions may be filed. ACTS NEARLY ALL DISTRIBUTED. The new acts were just received at the W’ells county clerk's office Friday. This means that they will soon be proclaimed law, as the proclamation is held, awaiting word that they hare been received by all the county clerks.
