The repub- ( lican platform reaffirms the proposition that the tariff shall be imposed j for protection. The effort to kill the tariff as a public question by the crea- 1 tion of a commission to handle the subject and distribute the protection will not work. To paraphrase a statement made by an influential paper, the ‘tariff for revenue only" doctrine 1 will never be dead while men demand 1 that which is their own, and protection will never be dead while men de- ‘ mand that which belongs to their neighbors. The non-protectionlst de- . mands his right to do as he wishes ■

SOME SOCIAL NEWS Post Card Party Given by Dorothy Dugan Was a Delightful One. PRESBYTERIAN AID Meets With Miss Cramer— Everybody Bring Needles and Thimbles. ■ —■ ■ SOCIETY Forward, forward let us range. Let the great world spin forever down the ringing grooves of change. —Tennyson, “Lockley Hall.’’ -a CLUB CALENDAR FOR THE WEEK. Thursday. Baptist Aid—Mrs. T. W. Watts. Thimble Club—Mrs. Dan Vail. Presbyterian Aid—Miss Gusta Cramer. Friday.’ Sewing Club—Mrs. Dan Sprang. Thirty or more young friends enjoyed the post card party given last evening by Miss Dorothy Dugan in honor of Miss Bertha Hiltpold and George Nachtrieb. and the Dugan home, corner of Monroe and Fifth streets, was ablaze with lights and good * cheer throughout the evening hours. In the hall myriads of post cards were strung from the walls and ceilings, and in one corner an impromptu postoffice. with a very realistic effect, invited the demands of all. Miss Helen Dugan, uressed as a diminutive mail carrier, distributed cards to each guest, who instead of writing thereon the address of the one to whom they wished to send the card, wrote la description or word picture of that individual. The postals were then mailed, and Miss Dorothy Dugan as postmistress, stamped and otherwise took care of the mail. The cards were then handed out to the guest who called and the descriptions read and a jolly good time spent in guessing "who was who" from the description. Then came another guessing contest. Ten views of buildings and scenery of the city were pinned about and the party guessed what they represented. A pretty post card album was given as a prize to the one guessing the greatest number. A luncheon in two courses was served, after which came dancing. Music was provided by Miss Agnes Kohne, at the piano, and Miss Naomi Dugan, the drum. Besides the younger members present Mrs. J. C. Tyndall, Mrs. Robert Case, Mrs. Nachtrieb and L. C. Waring came in to spend the evening as guests of Mr. and Mrs. Dugan. The girls of the Entre Nous club gave a pleasant little surprise for Mr. and Mrs, H. S. Lachot at their new home on Fifth street, where they called last evening to present them with a very pleasing gift, a set of silverware, the joint compliments of the club and Miss Grace Purdy, who was also a member of the party. Fudgemaking. with a jolly good time, was in order during the evening and the role of host and hostess was played with as much grace and skill by the newly wedded qouple as though they were veterans. The first meeting of the Black Rig club in several months was held last evening at the home of Miss Mane Patterson. The club members attended the picture show during the firs: part of the evening, and then returned to the Patterson home, where an impromptu musical program was given and refreshments enjoyed. Misses Anna and Vena Parent, Rose Colchin and Tena Schurger and Messrs. Fred Colchin and Fred Schurger attended the C. B. L. of I. ball and reception held Tuesday evening in Fort Wayne in the Mulqueen hall. The ball was quite a brilliant one and was largely attended. The Presbyterian Ladies’ Aid will meet Thursday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Cramer and daughter, Gbsta, on Mercer avenue. All the members are requested to come early and bring their needles and thimbles for work. ■ The Sewing club, which w-as to have met yesterday afternoon with Mrs. Daniel Sprang, has postponed its meeting until Friday afternoon. Quite a pleasant little surprise par- : ty was that given as a farewell last 1 evening for Mrs. Will Badders, who is moving to Fort Wayne today, where i she will join her husband in making 1 that place her home, Mr. Badders be 1 ing employed as a conductor on the 1 street car line. The party included 1 Mrs. Charles Pennington, Miss Anna i

Llchtle, Mrs. Samuel Frank. Mrs. Baxter, Mrs. John Schafer, Mrs. Will Roe, Mrs. Murray, Mrs. Al Archer and Mrs. John Keller, and the evening was spent in playing a number of games, after which a lunch was served. The party presented Mrs. Badders with a gift, which she will cherish long as a momento of the good wishes of her many friends here. Mrs. Lizzie Davis was initiated into the Pythian Sisters order with appropriate ceremony, after which refreshments, consisting of tuttl-fruiti and daughunts were served In the dining room, arid a social time spent. Mrs. Hattie Green of Monroe, one of the charter members of the local order, was an honored guest. The Gleaners, Sunday school class of the Presbyterian church taught by Mrs. J. N. Fristoe, have arranged for a picnic to be held Saturday at Maple Grove park. Each member will bring a guest and the affair promises to be a very happy one. ARE FINE ARTISTS The Wemhoff Monumental Works Gains Reputation For Model Work. THE LATEST METHOD Decatur and Adams County Recognize the Height of Good Taste. “You certainly have a fine monumental plant here," said a traveling man who recently visited the Wemhoff Monumental Works. ‘‘lt is one of the best in the state, and it is certainly putting out some fine work—as good and as up-to-date as any put out in the larger cities.” And such is the opinion of the publie at large for in every section of the northern part of (he state are found monuments erected by the Wemhoffs which will ever be a memorial to them as artists as well as to th£ individuals. "The people of Decatur,” said George Wemhoff of this company who has been connected with the plant for twentythree years and knows every particular of the business, “are just beginning to realize the finest and most up-to-date qualifications of a monument y—that of the raised lettering (which may be classed with the art of sculpturing), and the relief emblematic designs —the value of the finest workmanship, instead of mere bulk of granite. Our best and most artistic monuments have been sent to other places until quite recently, but at last Decatur and Adams county people are deciding upon the latest and most artistic designs, and we have several monuments in the shop now, ready for delivery, illustrating the new work. A glance at them was veryinterestin', and gave one an insight into this, which may be classed as one of the fine arts. A monument made for Mrs. Idelia Smith, designed by her husband, Robert E. Smith, of south of Monroe, is a beautiful one. Besides the conventional engravings on the face, at one side is a hand extending a rose, and below, the inscription, "The last Rose of Summer.” This is a memorial to the good wife, whose great love was for flowers and who took not only the keenest pleasure in their cultivation, but in the giving of them to brighten the lives of others —scattering flowers on the paths of all whom she met. On the other side is an emblem of our country’s flag, over the inscription, ‘‘Long May it Wave," the wife sharing with her husband, who was an army veteran. the sentiments of those words. Other pieces illustrating the new monogram emblems of orders to which the deceased ones belonged, were attractive, these being placed on the small headstones between the dates of birth and death. One for Jesse O. Wagner, who was killed while on railroad duty at Fort Wayne, bears the beautiful emblem of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen; another for Mrs. Malinda Cutting bears the W. R. C. monogram, and one for Mrs. Ella Graham, the Rebekah emblem. All these are done in relief work and many of them have what is known as the gold leaf panel work, which gives a very beautiful effect. The first of this perhaps, in this city, was put on the Herman Dierkes monument, the letters being filled in with gold leaf, according to the method used in Germany. Another beautiful one in the hands of the workmen is a stone for a little Harral child at LaFountaine. At the head *s a scene of Christ blessing the little children, the inscription reading, ‘‘Suffer little children to come unto Me.”
