The day has come for an inquiry into the qualifications of a Republican. I am wining to accept an arbiter, but it will not be Aldrich, it will • not be Payne, it wi'l not be Cannon. " —Senator Cummins of lowa, Rep. Insurgent. And also, of course, it will not be President Taft, who lined up with Aldrich, Cannon and Payne. Proceed-| ing with the speech from which the | above was taken, Senator Cummins declared that he would appeal to the Republican national platform of 1908. Senator Beveridge, also an insurgent, has said something to the same effect. But what does it amount to in the face of the statement of Taft, Aldrich, Cannon and the other real leaders of the Republican party that the insurgents have taken themselves out of that party?

There is a good deal of doubt as to who it is that the Fairbanks-Haniy-Hemenway faction will settle on as the man to beat Beveridge for the senate in the event that the Republicans con*o! the next legislature. That Beveridge is to be lata on the shelf if his enemies within his party can accomplish it, is beyond questibn. It must be apparent to him and his friends that such a plan is on foot. The placing of Kealing, Fairbank's manager, and Babcock, Hanly's late secretary and spokesman, in control of affairs in Indianapolib under the new administration can be interpreted only as an unfriendly move against Beveridge. Will the candidate of the opposing faction be Hanly, as has frequently been suggested? Or will it be Mr. Fairbanks himself fresh from his around the world trip, who I will enter the contest as a ‘ regular” Republican who will harmonize the fighting elements? As a matter of fact the Democrats propose to elect the next senator, but the Republican situation is interesting for the row that it will kick up.

ANNUAL SESSION (Continued from page 1.) which I believe will prove beneficial to the cause if carried out. In the first place I would recommend that all the township (associations hold their annual meeting and election of officers hereafter in the spring instead Jof fall. Those who have already held their election this fall, to let the present officers serve till the spring of 1911. Those who have not yet held elections to defer them till next spring. Since our annual county convention is held in the fall, it will be better if all the township presidents know that their term of office does not expire tiii the next spring at least, as they are expected to make their annual report to the county convention in fall. In the next place I would strongly recommend that a religious census ,be taken next year of the entire county, about the same time the government censub is taken. The statistics obtained would be of inestimable value to all pastors, as well as all other church and Sunday school workers.

With the strong and active organizations which we now have throughout the country, and by earnest co-, operation this can easily be accom- ( plished. One man cannot do it. nor a dozen; it will take more. The question is, are we going to do it* The County S. S Association is the organ that should lead in this work. No other association in the county could do it so well. I had intended that my report should be brief. It has already become quite lengthy. But, I want you to have at least some idea of what has been done, then above all I want you to get a "vision” of what might be done if we are willing to be used in His service. Yes, if we are willing to pay the price. Your humble servant, Jesse Rupp, Co. Pres. , —o NOTICE The regular meeting of the Eastern Star lodge will be held tomorrow evening at their hall.

JOINT INITIATION Modern Woodmen Planning a Visit to the Fort Wayne Lodge Rooms ON DECEMBER 20TH Candidates from Here Will Be Among Those to Ride the Old Goat ■ ■ The Modern Woodmen of this city are making great preparation for an initiation which will be held on the twentieth of next month. It is to be ( a joint initiation and will be given , wih the Fort Wayne council and as 1 that place. A number of candidates I have already been secured and they are working hard to make a good showing on this date. A large number from here will accompany the ' class and witness the work. Fort Wayne has a large number of candidates to take the work and the lodge there is trying to make the day a banner one for their visiting frtends. The local lodge is one of the leaders in the city, and has a membership of nearly two hundred. For some time past they have been taking in candidates on every, Thursday eventag, and have enjoyed many pleasant hours together. The log rolling here last July brought a number of new members into the lodge, but they are still working and there is little doubt I but that the membership roll will soon be the largest in the city. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Dibble went to Fort Wayne this morning to spend the day. Mr. Dibble will leave that place for Wellington and Oberlin, where he will spend some time with relatives.

Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette. ■ —o — — — BOTH VERY SICK Young Man Sacrifices Large Amount of Skin for His Brother HAS SERIOUS RESULT J. M, Roop Will Go to Elgin. 111., to Visit Unfortunate Sons J. M. Roop of east of this city will leave either Sunday or Monday for Elgin, Illinois, where he will visit bis two sons who are vqry ill there. It will be remembered that some weeks ago one of the boys was caught in a crusher at a stone quarry near that place and was so badly injured that, it was feared he could not live but a few days. He was taken to a hospital, where he itaproved slowly under the treatment, but it became necessary to graft a large amount of skin to save his life. A brother who was there promptly offered himself as a sacrifice and the operation was performed. The amputation of the skin was very severe, it being necessary to remove a portton of the flesh and as a result the brother is now very seriously ill. Neither of the young men are improving as their friends would like to see them and it seems doubtful if either will ever I again enjoy the former good health.

IX/’K want to tell you ’ ’ a little about the idea back of Bischof models. The makers of Bischof models get the Paris and Berlin styles but they don’t stop there. They believe there is a higher standard than pufe style —that is style and service combined. What’s fashionable in Paris is studied and the ideas carried out, the effect reproduced but in serviceable, practical suits —the kind American life of today demands. The taste expressed, the discrimination used in selecting only what is suitable has made Bischof models nationally popular. It is a significant fact that the leading Fashion Journal after a close study of the taste of American women, sketched a Bischof model for their Fall Fashion Number. Come in and see the

giving was discussed. There are more turkeys in the state this year than last year, and the farmer will therefore receive less ta price, or about twelve cents a pound. Another meeting will be called for the second of December and the price for the ChristmAs market will be set. J. H. Long of Portland, and president of the association and well known V” the local dealers here, was in attendance.
