In a decision just handed down it holds that divorces will not be granted for triv-, ial causes such as "Incompatibility.”, In alleged cruelty there must be evidencg, of actual or imminent physical violence. It would thus seem that the judiciary, at least, is not controlled by crankiness. —South Bend Times When the Republican politicians hold their “love feast’’ next January how will they go about harmonizing their various discordant elements? If a bouquet is prepared for Senator Beveridge, in what respect will it differ from the one prepared for President Taft, who practically read all of the insurgents, including Beveridge, out of the party? Will anything at all be said about the Aldrich-Cannon-Taft tariff Idw, and if so what? Will Mr. Taft's espousal of the AldrichWall street central bank scheme be approved? Will the ship subsidy grab, to which Mr. Taft has committed the Republican party, be indorsed? These are momentous questions and they can hardly be overlooked at any welllove feast. « I I "■ 111 — The statement made by Governor Marshall that he does notVvant to see the Democratic party in Indiana “made the catspaw of the brewers, the Anti-Saloon League, the ministers or any othet* class.” but does want to see it “organized in the interests of Democracy,’’ will 'be approved by every Democrat in the state. The Democratic party stands for certain principles and it welcomes the sup- ( port of all persons and classes of persons who believe that the applies-; tion of those principles to our gov- 1 ernment will be for the best inter- ] ests of the people. The Democrats ( of Indiana have been true to their > theory of government, and the result' is that they have made this state a 1 Democratic state. To achieve further ( and greater success it is only necessary for them to continue to be Democrats, as they were taught by Hendricks, McDonald, Vorhees, Turpie, Niblock, Gray, Matthews and tother giants of their day and as they have been taught more recently by Marshall, Kern, Shively, Ralston, Lamb and other able and sagacious leaders.

ISOCIETY COLUMN t Miss Marv Mumma Was Given a Surprise Party Yesterday , i i THE SENIOR PLAY ) • I ; The Box Social at the Tones School House Was Attended by Many I A surprise birthday party was given i on Miss Mary Mumma last evening by a company of friends. The occasion was the twentieth birthday of the hostess. A very pleasant time was spent and late in the evening an oyster, supper was served. Those present were Misses Stella Tucker, : Blanche Jeffries, Delma Steele, and Messrs. William Tucker, David Cook. The Seniors of the high school are planning >o give a play. They are busy selecting a play, after which the cast will be made up. It means a lot of work, and the class is very busy as usual with their school work. One of the society events of yesterday was a twelve o'clock dinner given by Mr.and Mrs. C. L. Johnson, the guest of honor being Mrs. J. P. Baum, gartner of Fort Wayne. The dinner was excellent and a happy time was enjoyed. The masquerade social given at the Monmouth school last evening was on of the pleasant occasions of the season. The seven o’clock car carried a large company of young people from : the city to the scene, and the good ; time was enjoyed immensely. Auctioneer John Spuhler sold the masked young ladies to the highest bidder and some of the young men present paid a good sum for their partners! of the evening. An excellent supper was served by the members of the school. All members of the Brotherhood of American Yeomen lodge should be present on next Monday evening for ■ practice on drill work. Please be there. The box social given at the Jones school, Oliver Broadbeck teacher.near Pleasant Mills last evening was well Attended and proved most pleasant. J Boxes were sold as usual and partners secured for the evening by those :who bought the boxes. Those from ' the city* who attended the social were the Misses Frances Coffee, Alma Starost, Velma Porter, Esther Pres■dorf. Margaret Gallogly, Agnes Coffee, ■ Emma Conrad, and Messrs. Earl Col- . ter, Harry Jeffries, Florian Starost, J Don Smith, Fred Smith, Ben Garard. , Forest Helm. The Men’s Club of the Presbyterian church will have another Interesting meeting next Tuesday evening, the speakers being Prof. E. E. Rice who will discuss the subject, “Social Education,” and C. L. Walters who will present the “Man and the Church.” It will doubtless be a most entertaining program, and well worth hearing. Mr. and Mrs C. M. Andrews entertained at a six o'cloex dinner which they gave yesterday to the following guests: Mr. and Mrs. Adam Pease. Mr. and Mrs. O. D. Weldy and son Bryce. Mr. and Mrs. Warren Pajne of Hammond, Mr. Flavie Payne. 0 Democrat Want Ads. Pay

Mr., Harry Whitney, who spent a year shooting within the Arctic circle, gives an idea in an article in The Outing Magazine for December of what the Eskimo can do when he tries. He says: “I shall never forget the feast that those Eskimos had when we next halted. I made a careful note of what the six men consumed within three hours —seven hares, one seal, about a bucketful of dried walrus meat prepared by Dr. Cook for dog food w-hile at Annootok. and two large cups of tea and four biscuits per man. A good part of the seal and all the hare meat they ate raw, like hungry dogs. I trained my camera upon them, but Eskimos have a decided objection to being photo- . graphed while they eat, and out of I respect to their wishes I desisted.” FRIENDSHIP. LOVE AND TROTH “My Boy Jack” will probably be ■ one of the most refined productions given at the Bosse opera house this season. There are no slum scenes, no heavy browed villains, no adventurers, no exaggerated climaxes or impossible situations, no monkey faced comedians, no impossible Hebrews and no short skirted soubrettes. but there is plenty of fun, causing hearty wholesouled laughter; bright, witty dialogue, reasonable and logical complications .and situations, set in an atmosphere of art, with a touch of life in Bohemia, and there is not one word which can offend the most sensitive nature. “My boy Jack,” is a story of friendship, love and truth, and no greater sermon has ever been preached from any pulpit by the most eminent divines of the day, than can be drawn from the presentation of “My boy Jack,” Jack Paden, the hero, is the acme of young American manaood, he is true, loyal, chivalrous and self sacrificing, he is the kind of boy. that in the time of trouble, goes to the front and dies for a principle, and in these days of hustle, worry, intrigue and selfishness, it is refreshing to some in contact with one of nature's noblemen, and such is “Jack Paden” whose unconscious motto is “do unto others as ye would have them do unto you,” and yet he will make you laugh. Edwin Milton Royle is responsible for him, and he may well be proud of “My Boy Jock.” This production will be at the Bosse. >, oPIANO TUNING Mr. J. R. Lonmoyer, expert piano tuner, will be in Decatur for a few days. Orders left at this office will be carefully attended to. All work guaranteed. J. R. Lohmeyer, Marion, > Ind «

W’E 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 pure style —that is sty/e 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 Joilrnal after a close study of the taste of American women, sketched a Bischof model for their Fall Fashion Number. Come in and see the
