Foss, recently elected to congress from Massachusetts as a democrat by 5,000 majority over his republican opponent in a district that gave a republican majority of nearly 15.000 two years ago, was until a year ago himself a republican. He tried being an insurgent for several years, but found that he made no headway. He now advises all dissatisfied republicans to join the democratic party. In a speech in Rochester, N. Y., the other day he said: "My insurgent republicn friends, if you want to accomplish the results you desire, you have got to step aside and join the opposition party and force legislation along lines that will bring relief. You have been insurgents long enough and what practical results have you secured? “Senator Lodge read me out of the republican party six years ago. but I clung to it, for I loved it, until my selfrespect and my judmgent forced me into the party of the opposition. I went out of the party last fall and in a thirty days’ campaign on those same issues cut down a majority of 96,000

to one of less than 8,000. Senator Lodge said that I couldn't make the tariff an issue iast fail. But before the campaign ended he was defending an 1 praising the Aldrich act whenever and wherever he spoke. It was the dominant issue. “The insurgent republicans hope, as I hoped for eight long years, to bring about reform within their own party. It's a mistake. It can't be done. To my insurgent republican friends I say, ‘Don't be a near-demacrat —be a real one. Come over with me where you belong, and where you can do real service.' ” By his efficient services in congress in behalf of his constituency and the people of the whole nation, Congressman Adair has become a national character. The press throughout the land Is publishing columns in praise of his good work. The Eighth congressional district has a right to feel proud of John A. M. Adair. — Winchester Democrat, The republican press of the state have been spending much time and many columns the past week as to the probability of the action to be taken on the senatorial proposition and the liquor question. We do not know just what action will be taken, nor do we pretend to, but we do believe they will says some things about the “revision of the tariff upward," the broken promises of the Taft administration and the high cost of living that will be read with a gratified feeling by every patriotic citizen of Indiana. Perhaps the big head lines on Taggart, the senatorial plan, etc.,

Long months of suffering from spinal meningitis terminated this morning at 8 o'clock in the death of Emma J., wife of Harvey L. Kessler at the home of his parents, Ferd Kessler, four miles south of the city. The ailment had assumed a most serious phase in the past several weeks and her death was not unexpected.

She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Steele of north of this city and was born February 23, 1884. A year ago last December she was married to Harvey L. Kesler, who, with a nine-months-old son. Kenneth, survive. Her mother died several years ago and her father and the following brothers and sisters survive: Royi and George Steele and Mrs. Roy Venis of Bluffton, and a halfbrother and sis-1 ter, John and Cleo. The funeral will. be held Monday morning, the proces-I slon leaving the home at 10 o does . for the Monroe M. E. church. Burial in the Ray cemetery.

The Perverse Comma. That curious and now stereotyped blunder of punctuation which gives us "God rest you. merry gentlemen,” ! as an inferior substitute for the quaint old greeting. “God rest you merry, gentlemen," turns up regularly ' every Christ ma*. It is a pity f°r the ancient formula to be thus penerted| since “God rest you merry” or “Rest ( you merry” was a recognized form of i salutsMon In Elizabethan days and, may be found in the works of Shake-, *peare and of many contemporary I writers, while for the modernized: form, which obscures the original! sense of the phrase, there is. of course. ; no authority whatever. If any one will have the curiosity to look up the old Christmas carol which begins with the words In question he will find, them correctly punctuated. — London 1 World. t Alaskan Glaciers. An interesting fact about Alaskan glaciers is that some are "dead’’ and others are “alive.” Davidson glacier, which is really a tongue of the Muir glacier, has been ascended by travelers for a number of years. It is a dead glacier, having a moraine of several miles between it and the sea. Looking at it from the boat, it represents a kaleidoscopic appearance as the sun shines upon it. and the surface seem* scratched with tiny pin line*. The** are in reality deep crevices, which must be approached cautiously, for they are lurking pitfalls for the unwary.—Vancouver Providence

One of Decatur’s citizens, who aas used 49 for three weeks, says: “I have not seen a well day for three years until I began to use 49 General Tonic. Nothing that I could eat would do me any good. My stomach, liver and kidneys always bothered me, which has reduced my flesh twenty pounds, and now after using 49 only three weeks, I am regaining my flesh one pound per week and I can eat anything I crave and digest it. My constipation has entirely left me. 49 has done more for me that all the treatment I have ever taken.” The above Is not an imaginary testimonial, but true.
