DECATUR, Ia, Feb. OH, 1915.
Mr.. SENTINEL II like on every Saturday evening
to say over the Democratic catechism from the right
hand top corner of your Tri-Weekly. Its rehearsal
for this evening is just completed. 1t strikes me, in
view of the moral treason which appears to be the
order of the day with the opposite party that it would
not be amiss to add the caechsm the following,
something like it, to-wit:
No "aid or comfort" to an enemy with whom the
nation is at
Its effect would be- to rebuke Treason, and CON-
memorae the present chief executive Of the nation.

Col. Mitchell and Capt. Cutter.

These gallant men and sterling Wings paid our
town hurried visit, and Monday night last, ad-
dressed large meeting in the Court House,
composed of Wings and Democrats, in most
effective manner.
Col. Mitchell, though young man, has seen
some service, and knows something of the char.
'acter of our chief, Zachary Taylor The Col.
served with him in Florida and in the bloody
fight of Monterey: was appointed by him, after
the capituaton of that city, Governor Of Mon
terey. The COL is modest 10 fault, and gave
the audience little or no account Of his own ser.
vices; his mind and whole heart, apparently,
being engaged in contemplating and detailing
the character aud noble services of that plain,
kind hearted old soldier, whom the people have
determined to honor with the highest seat in our
household of States.
Capt. Gutter, commanded o company of the
second Kentucky Regiment in the bate OF Bue-
ma Vista. He was one of the few commission
ed officers of that Regiment who came out OF
the charge inthat unequal contest, unhur. Col d.
Mckee and Lieut.. Col. Clay both fell, together
with many other noble spirits, leaving few bro
,her officers, whose warm and generous hearts
drop blood as they recite the events Of that
bloody day, and the noble deeds and manly VIZ
tues of the gallant dead.
Capt. Cunter made most instructive, eloquent
and effective speech on Monday night. He is
we'll acquainted with the politics of the day, and
the political history of the several candidates
for President now in The field,--Aye, and lheil
military hisIory--Gor the friends Of Gen. Cass
have tried hard to present him TO the people as
"a hero" But such hero as Capt. Cutter
showed him to be, made even Loco(ocos laugh
When contrasted with plain "Old Zack"--how
ridiculous! The hero Of "Hull's Surrender, ,
and the Man who never surrendered! The he,
ro Of the broken sword--and the hero Of BuenC
Vista!l Apollo and a Satyr!! When will Lo
,coGocos abandon humbug, and the people il
some manner becoming their inteIligencel
We have not time TO notice the speeches o.
our distinguished visitors at length; suffice it tc
Say that they presented our candidate in true
and strong light, awakening new feelings of ad
miration in the minds of many who now love
him, not only because he is "wilhout fear" bu
because he is "wi1hout reproach."
Our guests paid visit on Monday to the Har.
lem Springs, and there addressed small band
of Wings who attended to shake hands with
our gallant friends.
The sterling Wings Of Harlem had ample &c.
commodations for the company that was in at
iendance, their banGers were floating in the
breeze, and their swatch fires" brightly burning
