NOW COMES THE SHIP SUBSIDY GRAFT Everything points toward a determined effort by the leaders of the Republican party, headed by Taft, Aldrich, Cannon and others like them, to force the ship subsidy grab upon the country at a cost of hundreds of millions of dollars to the taxpayers. The policies of the Republican party have destroyed the American merchant marine, which, ( in the old days of Democratic rule, , was a source of £jch pride to this 1 nation. In those days 90 per cent, of 1 American trade was carried in Am- < erican ships. Now less than 10 per cent .is so carried. The Chicago * Journal says: “American shipyards ’ are idle because the high tariff • makes material for building modern ships too costly to permit the ship- , builder to compete with foreign t shipyards, which can avail them- s selves of cheaper iron and steel, fre- * quently buying American iron and steel at lower prices abroad than are , quoted to the American trade. Re- t publican administrations permit our 8 forests to be destroyed by lumber 1 ' r kings anxious to seize the premium s granted them by the tariff, and then r calmly tax the people to plant more p trees. The same masters of legerde- « main permit the steel trust, by vir- 1 tue of the tariff, to destroy our once * great shipbuilding industry and then f demand a tax on the people to enable s the shipyards to reopen. Only a < change of administration at Wash-p ington can be trusted to put an end , 1 to this orgy of spoliation and permit ( the producers of our national wealth , to retain a decent proportion of their i own earnings.” The supreme court has affirmed the 1 decision of Judge J. W. Macy ofWincbester made at New Castle in the . cases against certain druggists in which he held that written and signed ' applications or prescriptions on which 1 a druggist is permitted to sell intoxicating liquors under Secs. 8351, 8352, Burns, 1908, with the druggist’s endorsement thereon and which the druggist must keep filed and carefully . preserved for a period of at least one ; year, are not public documents, but are merely private papers of the druggist. In the New Castle case it was sought to force the druggist, against whom indictments were attempted to be brought to present their files of application and prescriptions before the grand jury.

Judge Macy held that Oils could not be done as the state constitution piotects a person charged with or suspected of crime as against being compelled to furnish evidence that may tend to incriminate himself. The supreme court has held that decision sound. —Portland Sun. GOT THE LICENSE George Syphers Will Claim Mrs. Smith as His Bride at Airdome WEDNESDAY NIGHT The Lover, Undaunted, Went to Portland and Secured the Papers Gorge has fooled them. We refer to Mr. Syphers, whose matrimonial affairs have caused some public comment during the past week. It will be remembered that he appeared at, the county clerk’s office here Satur- j day and asked for a marriage license, which was refused him and the matter referred to the circuit judge, , where it was also decided that the t applicant and his bride-to-be, Mrs. Francis Smith, were not entitled to the papers necessary to take the vows. However George was not in the least daunted by this turn, and I saying softly to himself that “faint I heart never won fair maiden,” he took the train Sunday night for Portland. His fiance, Mrs. Smith, has been living at Portland, a part of the titne this year, having a daughter there, and the application for a marriage license was promptly granted. George returned to Decatur last evening, smiling and happy and now announces that the wedditag will occur i at the Star airdome, Wednesday ev-| ening at 7:30 o’clock. The ceremony will be performed by the marrying scuire, James H. Smith, and it is a safe prediction that several hundred , people will pay the ten cents admis- ■ sion price necessary to witness the big . event. Manager Stoneburner is now busy arranging for the wedding and nothing will be left undone. Authorities here investigated the matter this morning and it is not likely that any effort will be made to stop the marriage, since the blame if there is any, rests on the Portland officers, and as Mrs. Smith claimed that her home, it is probable they had the right to issue the papers. It is requested that all presents be' taken to the Star theater where you will be duly receipted for same. George says he is awful short on po- [ tatoes. * o WILL BID WELCOME Members of the Zion Church Will Extend Glad Hand to New Pastor ARRIVES TONIGHT Reception to Be Given this Evening for Rev. and Mrs. Wehmeyer This evening at the church parsonage the congregation of the Zion Lutheran church will give a reception for their new pastor and his wife, Rev and Mrs. Wehmeyer, of Alberta, Canada, who will from now on have charge of the congregation here.
