J. H HELLER. MANAGER Even legislative members are offered a “rake off" just for their support of some innocent looking legislation. Governor Hanly wisely vetoed the measures of relief asked for hv the county and township officers whitest public monies in bunk f lilures Hon. John L. Griffiiths will go to Liverpool, where he will grace the consu'ate under the R >oseve|t administration 8 nator Beveridge is credited with d< ing the heavy work in bringing this happy condition of things about The Journal's road supervisor is about the biggest liar that . ver broke into print. To he short and concise there is not a road supervisor in Adams county or any other county in Indiana, that has at bis command >2300 or any part of that amount. There is not a road su- [ pervisor in this or any other county i in the state that has any right to i purchase a road plow or spend any public money for any purpose ( whatever. The story is out of whole cloth. —————— The Democrat dues not believe | that the hardware dealers of Deca tur. three of them republicans, ever offered to rebat • any count?, towr ship, city or road district officials, on articles purchased by said officers. We do not believe the dealers are so hard up for business, that they would incriminate themselves for a few paltry dollars thev would get from the sale of a road plow It sounds like a pipe dream anil was put into print for want of better argument. Besides the hardware dealers of Decatur are tbel average in honestv. ■■ The Journal is right in making , any just criticism, bur when it does so. some element of truth should guide them. Now the Journal would have its readers believe that | Henry Hite as the present trustee | of Washington township, inspired and investigated the record of T 8. Coffee during his ottic ! al life. Such a statement is anything but the truth. John Hessler. John Myers and E. H. Faust, the members of the advisory board for Washington township, and eveiy on® a democrat. ar® solely responsible. They refused to settle with Mr. Coffee and in addition employed Clark J. Lutz, another democrat, to make a thorough investigation. This they did. Mr. Hite had nothing whatever to do with it, and is entitled to no credit in any way, shape or form. Sour kraut an I sweet pickles at Fred meat market. HOdfi

ANNOUNCEMENT WE ARE PROUD to present Miss M. Zeola Hershey, who now makes her bow for the third year of professional lyccum work. A graduate of the best Eastern School of Oratory, she comes to the public with most excellent preparation for her work. Believing that the true mission of the reader lies not so much hi vocal gymnastics as in the faithful interpretation of the anther, Miss Hershey reads in a manner that betokens much thought, culture and experience and sends home to our hearts the worth and beauty of literature. io her already large repertoire she has added a clever adaptation of “Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch,” in which she will appear this winter and summer. We cheerfully recommend this artist to all committees wishing to present a strictly high grade and refined program. THE ENTERTAINERS' LEAGUE Miss Hershey will appear at the Presbyterian Church Friday Evening, February 24.
