Senator Aldrich of Rhode Island is the real leader of the republican party, with Cannon and others as assistants. Mr. Aldrich nas- publicly declared that the government has been and is now spending three hundred million dollars more per year than is necessary. And now it is proposed to create “a government business methods commission," which is to suggest changes. The admission that the republican party has spent $300,000,000 more each year than it should have spent is a complete justification of every charge of extravagance made by the democrats against that party. The Hon. Lucius B. Swift, the Indianapolis republican of the kind sometimes referred to as “mugwump' (though voting the republican ticket with striking regularity), come to the front of the stage with the statement that “the standpatters and all th? interests represented by Cannonism and Aldrichism mean to crush Senator Beveridge in the coming campaign in Indiana." Therefore Mr. Swift declares that “nothing but an uprising of the people can overcome this attempt, but with such an uprising we shall gain a victory"—now mark this —“that we will be heard around the world.” Which, of course, is flapdoodle. An “uprising" of the people for the Honorable Albert Jeremiah Beveridge, who stands with Cannon and Aldrich on every question except the tariff, and only differs with them on that as to the mere amount of the tariff graft that should be legalized!

The commissioners have been call- . ed into special session for Monday ■ for the purpose of signing the Caleb t Andrews macadam road bonds. This > road was sold last fall but the uncer- • tainty of this kind of security made . them with a lot of other bonds a drag I on the market and for a time it seem- . ed that road bonds and road building was going to be taboed. The bonds 1 have now been sold to a Cincinnati firm, and the board will affix their 1 official signatures to them so that: - they may be turned into cash. The . Caleb Andrews road traverses a short 1 portion of Washington township, and ; . the road will be built during the coming summer. j The commissioners will hold anoth- ( er special session on Monday, the 21st ( of this month, and at that time they will open bids and likely contract for 1 some road drags. It is the purpose 1 of the board to save the macadam > roads of the county by repairing them ' i just as soon as the weather settles ' and will permit. This action on the part of the commissioners will not only save the roads but it will save 1 the people much of the enormous ex- ' pense of repair later on. o ■ — ■ J o - s PUBLIC SALE. .

Os course games of all kinds were called into play, and music provided just the most pleasant kind of a setting. Then came the making of marshmallow candy, in which the, girls did the cooking, and which, when it arrived at the critical point, was turned over to the boys, who, with more brawny and muscular power, did the stirring.

(By Staff Correspondent of the United Press.) Renk, Soundan, March 12—(Special to Daily Democrat) —On board the steamer Dal last night, Colonel Roosevelt gave a dinner in honor of the newspaper men who had come up the Nile to meet him at Renk. The dinner lasted far into the night and most of the time was taken up by the colonel's Inquisitiveness. After a complete absence from civilization ,and of ten months from politics in America, Mr. Roosevelt showed great eagerness to “catch up in his classes.” The colonel was particularly interested in learning the details of the north pole dis-

covery claims of Dr. Cook and the probable discovery by Commodore Peary. When he found the result of Dr. Cook’s claims he expressed pleasure at not following his first impulse and sending a congratulatory message to the doctor. Mr. Roosevelt is hard at work to complete the story of his African hunt and is spending much time in preparing his lectures he is to give in Paris, Berlin and London. The Dal left today for Khartoum, where the party will arrive tomorrow. Mrs. Roosevelt and Ethel may not reach Khartoum until after the arrival of the Colonel and Kermit ONLYTWOTONAME While Many Are Willing to Serve the Cause of Methodism. THE TWO DISTRICTS * — Vacancies in the Muncie and the Fort Wayne Districts. Among the noteworthy events of the coming Methodist conference for the northern Jurisdiction of Indiana, and which will be held in Bluffton early in April, will be the naming of two district superintendens, vacancies occurring in the Muncie and Fort Wayne districts. A number of prominent ministerial gentlemen are being named for these two places, among them being Rev. C. U. Wade of Fort Wayne, L. J. Naftzger of Muncie, J. A. Beatty of Elkhart, A. G. Neal of Warsaw, W. W. Martin of Bluffton, F. G. Browne of Newcastle, Madison Swadener of Kokomo, C. E. Line of Greenfield, John C. White of Logansport, Chauncey King of New Haven, W. D. Parr of Kokomo and Sherman Powell of Decatur. While there will be a certain amount of political log rolling indulged in by the friends of the various ministers named, yet the naming of the successful ones is in the hands of Bishop Cranston of Washington, D. C., who will preside at the Bluffton conference. Along with the many other friends of Rev. Powell, pastor of the local congregation, the Democrat would like to see him succeed to one of the two vacancies. IT we could get the ear of Bishop Cranston we would like to suggest that the’ cause of Methodism could not be better served than by the naming of the Decatur pastor for a district superintendency. - o— — Mrs. Peter Gaffer, of Ninth street is suffering from a severe attack of the lagrippe and was reported no better today. Helen, the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Leo Wilhelm, who has been quite sick with the grip for several days, is considerably improved today.
