THE STAR HAS A YELLOW LIVER Democratic State Chairman Jackson is right and his critics are wrong as to the significance of the recent state election. Neither the election of Mr. Marshall nor the choice of a Democratic legislature can be honestly viewed as anything but a verdict against county option.—Muncie Star. Since the defeat of its party the Star, like most all Republican newspapers, lays the blame to county local option. It now wants it’s own party law repealed, and has the nerve to insist that a Democratic legislature should repeal it. During the heat of the campaign the Star was perhaps the most unfair of all the Republican press. Tt’s language at times was brutal. It classed those voters who supported the Democratic candidates

as “red necks,’ and a disgrace to decent citizenship. The truth is that the Sta r misrepresented the issues involved. and in misrepresenting those issues, insulted the intelligence of their readers. It is but natural that they now would favor the repeal of their own law, in order that their position during the campaign might appear the more reasonable. ; The attitude of the Star should make clear the duty of every Democratic member Os the Indiana general assembly. It is a “lead pipe” that if the repeal of the law in question, would strengthen the Democratic party, the Star would be as strong against (repeal, as they are now for its repeal. I The Star disgraced Its journalistic position by its unfair attitude during the campaign, and there is nothing !now to indicate that it is any more ' sincere than it was then. But after all is said and done, the ' duty cf the Democrats during this legislative session is plain. Their own party platform was a temperance plat-' ■form. There wag never a thought to omit the issue, but on the other hand they held their convention early with a view of being first to emphasize the part they intended to play in putting the liquor traffic under the ban. And the politics of it is that the 1 law is a Republican law. The Demo- , crats are not responsible, if it proves j unpopular. But whether popular ot unpopular, it deserves a trial, free and unhampered by friend or foe. ———————M—■——»

Mark Thistlewaite is the announced private secretary to Governor-elect Marshall. He is said to be all right. With others we regret the loss "f fortune to Mayor Tom Johnson. He has been a gocd man, and unlike most men of wealth, he has always stood with the people. The “interests’’ have fought him and according to late telegraphic dispatches they landed him high and dry. Indiana will have to get along without a Chautauqua governor, thanks to the spirit of Democracy that is afloat in the state. Governor-elect Marshall (has just turned down a flattering offer of a lyceum bureau, and says that for four years he belongs to the state. Good fo r Tern Marshall, soon to be Governor Marshall. Dr. John W. Vizard has been men- ; tioned as chief clerk of the house cf . representatives during the approachling legislative session. Not a better one could be selected, and if he wants it, about all of Adams county will move down on the state house and show them how to work the simple game cf pulling the political wires. Our mail yesterday contained three letters from three prominent Adams county Democrats, who agree in whole and in part with the Democrat’s position against the repeal of county local option. The main argument of each letter was that the as yet untried law should be given a trial, and that it was not in the cards for Democrats to help create Republican thunder.

Cox “Passion Play” Little Mildred Gast, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Gast, celebrated her sixth birthday yesterday, entertaining

a few of her girl friends. The occasion was a delightfully pleasant one for the little folk and each seemed to thoroughly enjoy it. The Woman’s Home Missionary Society of the M. E. church held their regular meeting at the home of Mrs. F V. Mills yesterday afterncon. Mrs. Beachler gave a very interesting talk on the work being done in the homes supported by the society. Mrs. Emma Daniels read Mrs. Hooper s report of the conference convention which supplemented by her remarks, made an excellent report. Mrs. Helm then read a carefully prepared report of the financial standing of the local auxiliary. The ladies were very much gratified with the success of the rumamge sale which closed last Saturday night after two weeks of hard work for the ladles of the society. A vote of thanks was tendered by the society to all who assisted, the mayor and city officers who assisted so materially by allowing the use of the city building and by their uniform courtesy at all times were given a special rising vote of thanks. The auxiliary with Mrs. John Niblick, who has devoted her time and splendid ability to the work, is now in position to help the worthy poor. A list is kept and the names and amounts given to each family. Calls are made where appeals come in and the committee, consisting of Mrs. D. D. Heller, Mrs. Krick, Mrs. W. J.
