of their degeneracy, and chose him to
cleanse, reconsider and restore and
"purify and humanize every process
of our common life.
Still we may hope that man with
such an exalted idea of himself and
his mission. one feeling himself raised
up for the salvation Of a 'decadent
and debased' people. will carry into
his public WORK ideals and standards
which would result in good if they
could be established. He has an evi.

him from insincerity. But is there
not too much of mere thunder in his
index? Among the things which he
says fought to be altered, and
which he has 'itemized with some
degree of particularly, are the
tariff system, the banking system, the
industrial system, and the agricultural
system. Such wide thunder fills our
now clear and smiling sky, but there
is no such lightning as illumin mated

in his first and second inaugural,

Perhaps he breads the inevitable

avoid it. It is as inevitable as fate.
And this he seems to realize. He
seems to be pleading outside of his

of good the Wilson administration
may do will not be done over the
organized opposition of the Republi-

good at all, it can only be done
through the help of Republicans,
for as surely as "details, differ

WHICH DO YON PREFER?

Nearly every day one reads in the
daily papers as lighting aIIusion to
some of the paragraphs contained in
county correspondence as being of
trivial Importance. On perchance it
is some country editor himself pulled
up over what he thinks is the great
Importance of his own editorials, but
in which the public sees very little
worthy of perusal, who SCOTS at the
petty unimportance of country con-
tri buttons We are frank to say that
we see much more to commend in the
news value in the neighborhood it
comes from of correspondence item
which states that Henry Jones has
7reshingled his barn or lost a number
of hogs from an attack OF cholera,
chan we do in some Of the things
these scoffers palm off upon their
READERS as representing classy stuff -
AS an instance in point one of our
important state daily papers a few
days ago devoted quarter column of
Its space under glaring headlines to
a description of the first dinner served
$50 President Wilson and his family on
inauguration night We gather from
that article that they had roasted
lamb cooked in a covered pan and
2oasted with water very sparingly. ;"
Also that they had ''shad that was
split open on the back and broiled and
served with pieces of lemon and
chopped parsley, thus taking away
nothing from the delicate flavor of the
fish. An anxious public is left in
doubt whether the president took two
dumps Of sugar in his coffee or drank
it plain, and if the boiled potatoes
were eaten plain or with cream
dressing. These things are very
important AID should be made
perfectly clear.

Notice to Farmers.

Believing that the fertilizer busi.

and that the use of fertilizers will
greatly increase the quantity and
quality of farm products, we have
taken the agency for the Calumet
Brand, manufactured by Hirsh Stein
& Co of Chicago, which is consider
ed one of the best lines on the market.
The state of Indiana has a system
of keeping pretty close tab on
fertilizers shipped into the state and
the records SHOW that the tonnage in
1888 was 5000 tons and has increased
