H, HELLER, Manager, The New York Sun declares that the new corporation tax is not for revenue, but for “immediate partisan politics,” and that it will be used to coerce corporations into being “good” according to the exigencies of Republican campaigns. And the New York Sun is a Republican paper, too. Surely it ought to know what it is talking about. An Eastern paper, speaking of the tariff, says that “the plundering of the consumer -will not go beyond a certain point.” Certainly not. When the trusts have gathered in all that the consumer has there will be no need of further plundering. Until that is accomplished, however, it seems that the game will go on so long as the work of revising the tariff is left to its “.friends.” The Dayton Journal is disposed to ridicule the statement that has been made the past summer that the people are studying the tariff. It acknowledges that they are manifesting considerable interest in its schedu'es; but as for understanding or even studying them, it doubts that three men can be found in Dayton who have even read the tariff law. The Times has suspicions that the same conditions exist in South Bend, and wi'l gladly publish in conspicious honor the names of any who claim to have even read the law.—South Bend Times. Prof. Robert J. Aley, the present state superintendent of public instruction, has shown that the people acted wisely in electing him over his Repub-

, lican opponent last fall. Prof. Aley not only joined Governor Marshall In preventing needless changes in school books at a big cost to the school children. but he is putting in operation some much-needed reforms of the common sense variety. For some time under other management, there was danger that our common schools would be torn away from their old ’ moorings and be used for purposes never intended by the designers of the system. Prof. Aley will not give further encouragement to this tendency. On the contrary he is working - to maintain all of the best that the system contains and to revive some of the things that were discarded by Ills Republican predecessors. DISMISS CONDEMNATION SUIT Bluffton, Ind., Aug. 25.->-The Bluff- | ton, Geneva & Celina Traction com- | pany yesterday dismissed a condemnation suit which was filed several days ago against Mr. and Mrs. George Sickler, seeking to secure a small residence property at Washington and Liberty streets, at a point where the company desired to cross private property to avoid making a sharp curve around a street corner. Under the compromise the Sicklers were paid $2,000 for the property. o Joseph Winteregg, or Berne, was in the city today and returned on the evening train. Rosa and Anna Gusulng of Fort Wayne, are in the city visiting with friends and also attending the fair. Robert Johnson, ex sheriff of Bluffton, was in the city today on business, and will return on tne evening train. Theo. Leininger and Philip Kuhn, of Chattanooga, Ohio, are in the city looking after business and will also attend the fair today. Mr. George Sheiler went to St. Louis, Mich., this morning, where he will attend a camp meeting there to be held there tomorrow’. The morning train on the G. R. & I. brought eight cars of passengers to the city this morning who attended the great fair today. A cow owned by Harvey Clark, who resides on the Dorwin farm near Monmouth, gave birth to triplet calves last evening. The mother and all the children are doing welt and of course every one is nappy. Talk about your gold mines, a eow like this one is worth a fortune at a time when a two year old heifer is worth forty plunks.

FROM MAGAZINES 1 i A Few Clippings of Interest Culled from September i Numbers 1 —- I 5 ALL WORTH READING t Cost of Furnishing City Hoi tels—Protection from % t Early Frosts Charity is applied religion. Religion that is not applied is not religion. Charity is the heart of religion and the religion of the heart. Charity is . that high morality, which is the - “science of minimizing human mis- ' ery.” Religion is the root of the tree * ' of life. Charity or social service must 1 be its fruit. We can have no fruit > without root, but we would have no i tree of life that were all root or > (trunk, and that yielded neither blosr I som nor fruit It may be true, as 1 has been said, that social science or service cannot take the place of religion, but it is not less true that rei ligion cannqt be without social ser- > vice. Social teaching and religion are not to be substituted for each other. . The social message of our day needs ' the last and largest unlift of religion, as truly as religion needs to be rehumanized and resocialized.— Stephen S. Wise, Ph. D., in The Pa- • cific Monthly for September. And in our city hotels we have not included the cost of furnishings and equipment. Into the Waldorf-Astoria Mr. Boldt, or those behind him, put some $1,850,000. The management of the Plaza estimate their furnishings outlay at $1,000,000. The same figure is a minimum for the Bellevue-Strat-ford in Philadelphia and the New Congress in Chicago. We find such random items as $200,000 for kitchen equipment, $50,000 for refrigerators, $60,000 for a single “state apartment,” $50,000 for mirrors, SIO,OOO for a Louis XV. bed. The St. Regis put $550,000 into its bedroom floors alone. In the prelimmary estimates for a hotel to cost $4,000,000, examined by the writer, $500,000 is allotted to furnishings "upstairs," and $700,000 to the three lower floors. Originally "hotels” were the great town houses of the French nobility. Their imitators in twentieth century America are doing very well indeed. —Arthur C. McFarlane in the September Everybody’s.

"I had always heard that New Englanders were ‘smart,’ ” a young physician who has “graduated” from a village practice remarked the other day, “but I hardly thought it developed at such an early age.” He smiled reminiscently, then continued: “Just after I settled in Dobbs Corners a twelve-year-old boy called on me one evening. “ ‘Say, Doc, I guess I got measles,’ he remarked, ‘but nobody knows it ’cept the folks at home, an' they ain’t the kind that talks, if there's any good reason to keep quiet.’ “I was puzzled, and I suppose I looked it. “ ‘Aw, get wise, Doc,’ my small visitor suggested. ‘What will you give me to go to school an’ spread it among the kids in the village’’ ” — ! September Lippincott’s. It is that first frost that transforms the whole world. The peaches and grapes and melons disappear, and the pears get a rich crimson with a deeper gold overlaid. You will have no more green corn and no more wax beans. Only let me tell you a trick or two that will lengthen your season. Break down a few bean poles flat to the

ground and lay cornstalks or some coarse straw over them. They will go on blossoming and forming pods, if you will but let in the sunshine of bright days. If you have been thoughtful enough to plant a few hills of sweet corn about the first of July, you may also protract the season of table corn three or four weeks. Bend over the stalks and stand on each side any shelter that is convenient. However, this is a delicacy that one soon tires of, while string beans, in my judgment, are delicious every day in the year. In Florida I have them as a winter luxury. —E. P. Powell, in the Outing Magazine for September. BRILLIANT EVENT Big Wedding Dance Given Last Night Was Delightful TO THOSE PRESENT 125 Couples Tripped the Light Fantastic Until Morn One of the mst brilliant social events occurring in Decatur for several months was the big dance given last night at the K. C. hall in honor of Mr. and Mrs. William Faurot, who yesterday morning were united in marriage at the St Marys church. The event was given over the management of Fred Schurger, and it was dispatched to the complete satisfaction of the one hundred and twenty-five couple who were present. Promptly at nine o’clock the grand march began, and the letters A. F. were formed by the participants. Following this the merry makers had a most delightful time tripping the light fantastic until the wee Hours of the morning. At the proper time an elaborate banquet was served by Anderson & Dolch and it consisted of all men-

tionable good things. Every one present had a great time and left declaring the bride and groom royal entertainers, music was furnished by a double orchestra and It was excellent BIG DAY OF THE FAIR (Continued from page 1.) while the second and third were captured by Sir Acoler.

The running race also furnished amusement for those who love to see the jumpers leave the post. There were but four starters, but they were bunched and the spectators held their breath as the boys clung to the ponies necks and whipped for dear life.
