Kern Its candidate tor the seat in the United States senate now held by Albert J. Beveridge. Mr. Kern did not seek this, leadership. It was put on him by the state convention and It carried with it the hearty good will and commendation of the men who were previously mentioned as candidates. The republican party —or at least one wing of the republican party—has put forward Mr. Beveridge, who desires to succeed himself. Mr. Beveridge heralds himself as the “friend of the people." He bases his claim to be so called upon the fact that he voted against the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill. According to his principal organ, the Indianapolis Star, he disagrees with Taft, Aidrich and the other republican leaders only on the tariff question. His disagreement with them on that relates only to the mere amount of the tariff graft that congress should legalize—the limitation but not the abolishment of larceny through tariff legislation. As the democratic candidate Mr. Kern stands opposed to the tariff graft in toto. He stands opposed to the entire Aldrich-Cannon program, and not a mere fraction of it. He and he alone, so far as the senatorship is concerned, is the real “friend of the people” in this campaign, because he will work and vote for all and not an insignificant part of what the people want. Mr. Kern is entitled to and will receive the vote of every democrat in the state, and thousands of republicans as well, expressed through the choice of members of tho legislature committed to his election. Wednesday, June Ist, has been named as the day when the democrats in the Eleventh congressional district will meet and name Congressman Rauch to lead the democrats In that district to another victory. The convention will be held In Hartford City, the home of the district chairman, Editor E. E. Cox. President Taft says that he is still “in favor of giving the government the right to levy an income tax in time of necessity." And yet he appointed Governor Hughes of New York a member of the United States supreme court! Hughes is notoriously against an income tax. And it was the supreme court of the United States that killed the former income tax law by bolding it unconstitutional. Closing out our stock of onion sets at 5c per quart. Seed yams at 5c per pound.

THE LIFE TALE OF A TOILER. A certain literary critic has expressed the opinion that the book really worth while is the one written from experience. Here is an experience of; mat y. It may be found on page 173 of "From the Bottom Up,” published by Doubleday, I’age & Company, which is the unique autobiography of this ditch-digger, soldier, miner, socialist, preacher. "One night after a few aays' involuntary fast I found In the hut two cents. To the city I went and bought two bananas —one I ate on the way back and the other I put in my hip pocket. “There were no streets, no lights, no sidewalks in that region. As 1 came to a railroad arch on the edge of the squatter community I saw a figure emerge from the deep shadows. 1 knew Instantly I was to be held up, but as life was rather cheap down there I was not sure what would accompany the assualt. A second figure emerged, and when I came within a few yards of them I whipped the banana from my pocket and pointing it as one would a revolver I said—'Jdovo a muscle, either of you, and I'll blow your brains out!’ ” The drastic method proved effective.

OF ORGANIZATION A Double AnniversaryFormer Pastors Invited —Annual Meeting. The local congregation of the German Reformed church is making plans for a great jubilee celebration which will probably take place the last- Sunday in June. This will commemorate a double anniversary—the fiftieth anniversary of the organization of the local congregation, and the twentyfifth anniversary of Its becoming a self-sustaining order, breaking away from its dependence upon the mother, the Magley Reformed church, of which the Decatur Reformed church was a branch. Since becoming an independent one, the Decatur church has had four pastors and these nave been invited to be with them on the jubilee day and take part in the servives. The pastors who have served here are Rev. H. W. Vitz, now of Indianapolis, who served here twelve years; Rev. H.W. Kruse, now of Ohio; Rev. George Grether of Winconsin, and the present pastor, Rev. L. C. Hegsert. This celebration was considered at the annual congregation:’.! meeting, at which time also the election of officers took place. M. Kirscn was re-elected elder; Herman Sellemeyer was re-elected deacon; Otto Reppert trustee, and Peter Kirscn treasurer. For several years the congregation has been considered the building of a new church a few years hence, and last year created a 'building fund for that purpose. This fund is rapidly growing and it was thought best to elect a special treasurer for it, M. Kirsch being elected. All the reports show the church to be in a very flourishing condition, both spiritually

and financially, and much credit should be given to the good pastor, the Rev. L. C. Hessert, and his wife, who have labored here for several years.
