THE DEMOCRATS AND THEIR TARIFF POSITION (From the Democratic State Platform) “We denounce the Payne-Aldrich tariff act as a masterpiece of injustice, Involving remorseless exactions from the many to enrich a few, through the trusts and monopolies which its fosters. Tariff taxation, like other taxation, should be for public purposes only, and not for private profit; and should be so levied as not to discriminate against any sectio.., class, industry or occupation, and limited to the actual necessities of the government, economically administered. “We condemn the cowardice of the republican party in Indiana in failing to meet the issues in a fair and manly way; that in its endeavor to gain democratic votes it has, on the tariff question, one proposition in its state platiorm and a different and opposin' proposition in its several congressional platforms; that by indorsement it commends President Taft, who approved the Payne-Aldrich tariff law, and in the same resolutions commends Senator Beveridge, who voted against the same measure, for his course in opposing such tariff law. President Taft has Indorsed Cannon and Aldrich. We submit to the people whether relief may be expected from a party standing for Taft, Cannon, Aldrich and Beveridge all at the same time.” — (From Governor Marshall’s Convention Speech.) “The whole system of protection is, as was wisely declared by the democratic platform of 1892, ‘a fraud and ! robbery of the great majority of the , American people for the benefit of the few. It must inevitably result, if it be protective in its character, in giv- j ing to certain men subsidies and boun- ’ ties for which they make no return to I the mass of the people at large. It is 1 wrong in its morals, unjust in legislation, and notwithstanding the decisions of the courts, unconstitutional.’ A government which declares for the equality of mankind puts the stamp of falsehood upon its declaration whenever it permits the enecatment of a statute wnereby a legislative made dollar goes into the pocket of an individual citizen. The republican party of Indiana, if it was the republican party in convention on the sth day of April, declared for Its time-honored doctrine of protection, but said we could have too much of it. That convention believed you could create a Frankenstein and yet so control your monster as to put him under subjec- ’ tlon. It failed to say that when cu-

pidity and selfishness rather than justice and equality, have the power to make the laws of the land, nothing will ever prevent injustice, wrong and oppression. It is no palliation or excuse for the representatives of the party to stand for a system such as this and hope to meet the approval of men who believe that governments were not Instituted for such purposes as these by acting like Pilate did — washing their hands and declaring that by voting against this system the blood of innocent men is not upon them. It is the system that the democratic party of Indiana assaults, and not the representatives of the system.” A KENTUCKY PER1 SONALITY IN VERSE With the publication of a book of 1 poems, Miss Julia Stockton Dinsmore i adds her name to the list of those who j in advanced years have made their first contribution to literature. "Verses and Sonnets," published by Doubleday, Page & Company, reflect to a marked degree the life and peri sonality of this remarkable woman, now in her seventy-eigbth year. She has from childhood lived in intimate touch with nature, spending the larger part of her life out of doors. To ’ her love for and knowledge of nature is added a love for and thorough . knowledge of all that is choicest in literature. This is the happy combination which her lyrics reveal. She is a true daughter of the South, her birthplace being her father's plan tation in Louisiana. Wfiien she was still a child her father, Colonel Dinsmore, moved to Boone county, Ken tucky. The house that he then built, | sixty years ago, has remained ever since his daughter's home. Her father, although a slaveholder, remained loyal to the federal government during the Civil war. Miss Dinsmore's sympathies, however, have always been southern. Since her father's death in 1872, Miss Dinsmore has personally, without superintendent or other assistance, except farm hands and tenantfarmers of her own selection, cultivated a considerable body of land, raising all the crops to which the soil of northern Kentucky is suited, chiefly corn and tobacco, at the same time breding and raising all kinds of livestock, from horses and cattle to pigs and chickens. She has always been an expert horsewoman and even now is constantly in the saddle. One day not long ago she spent ten hours in ; the saddle superintending the repair l of a "line fence.” Her evenings find I her alone beside a student's lamp, i but with the ever-sufficient society of her books. She is devoted especially ■ to English verse and French fiction, • reading the latter always in the origi inal. “Verses and Sonnets” include prae- , tically everything that she has ever I written. Some of the poems contained in this book were originally published in a New Orleans paper, the remainder are now published for the first time. Many of the poems have been written as recently as within the last two years. Miss Dinsmore did practically no writing till past her fiftieth year. o F. M. Schirmeyer and Georke Kinzle were at Berne today looking after business pertaining to the Citizens' Telephone company. WANTED—Eggs.

All the pretty wild-wood flowers of , the springtime lent their adornment to the Nachtrieb home Wednesday 1 afternoon, making the party given by Mrs. Nachtrieb to twenty of her friends one of the prettiest of the May festivals, as the weather was not quite mild enough for a real May day picnic in the woods, the ladies summoned their • best imagination fairies to provide a make-believe picnic. Each guest contributed to the Barmecide fairy lunch baskets with an imaginative article, the name of which was to begin with the first letter of her name, and it was very amusing—this searching for varieties of delicacies by the letters of the alphabet. Then came the going to the picnic. The ladies, to strains of a march played by Mrs. Fruchte, formed a line led by Mesdames L. G. Ellingham and F. M. Schirmeyer, and proceeded to the picnic grounds — marching through the house and yard and then again to the picnic grounds in the house, where the Mayday festivities were continued. A little history of the May-day festival was given by Mrs. J. W. Tyndall, casried out further by a poem on “May,” by Mrs. D. M. Hensley. Two songs—a Lullaby and “The Spring Song’’—were exquisitely rendered by Miss Grace Miller and Mrs. C. A. Dugan gave a little spring poem. Companions for the luncheon were found by matching the questions and answers on little cards and forming a story called “Planting a Garden,” further carrying out the May-day idea. The cards were beautifully decorated with the spring posies. The Winchester Journal said in part of the district meeting of women's clubs in that city: “The afternoon session opened with a musical feast that was highly appreciated. T'.ose who participated were: Misses Patterson and Schirmeyer of Decatur, Miss LaFever of Union City, Misses Mullin and Newton, Mesdames Hunt, Clark, Miller, Cheney, Newton, Beals and Mills of Winchester. Able speeches followed. The keynote was 'the child. Modern philanthropy in regartF'to the child was treated by Mrs. Margaret Morganworth of Anderson. Woman’s Influence and Responsibility to the Child, by Mrs. Norris of Muncie; Value of the Study of Literature, was weighed by Mrs. Reid of Union City. A history of the Minerva club was outlined by Mrs. Wood of Winchester. Mrs. Grace Julian Clark, state president, dated women’s progress from club life and spoke of the value of federation, if we were to be a factor in the world’s advancement. Mrs. Saylor, second vice president, from Elwood, made an earnest appeal to the convention for greater enthusiasm and systematic work in civic affairs. Thus ended a pleasant and profitable meeting.” The dance given by the members of the Phi Delta Kappa fraternity Wednesday evening at their hall'was a complete success. About thirty-one couples were In attendance. The music for the evening was furnished by Miss Bertha Kohne and Vane Weaver which was much appreciated. The hall was beautifully decorated in the lodge colors of red and black and presented a very neat appearance. Another dance will be given in the near future. A large number of the members of /the Concord Luthleran Aid society and their friends attended the regu(Continued on page 3.)
