"The proposed appropriation of >250,000 per annum to support a tariff commission should be entitled 'an action to postpone the verdict of the people on the Payne-Aldrich-Smoot tariff to a season more convenient for the stand-pa| leaders.’ It is another effort, a desperate effort, to hoodwink the voters of the land. The creation of such a commission would be only another startling illustration of how far the legislative branch of the government has surrendered its constitutional rights to the executive branch, a process that has gone on for a quarter of a century.”—From a speech by Champ Clark. Senator Beveridge yesterday at Lebanon was given another knife-thrust under the fifth rib. The resolutions indorsed President Taft and his sincere desire and determination to secure legislation conforming to the last i epublican national platform. The resolutions also say that the work of the senior senator commends him to the people of the state, and that he has been honest In cliampionitfg what he believes to be right. There is certainly room for lots of good solid reading between the lines, and the only inference to be drawn is that while Senator Beveridge believes he is right, he is most infernally wrong. And this is to be a Beveridge campaign. , “Candidates on the republican ticket, displeased because in some quarters it has been urged that Senator Beveridge’s re-election be made the one issue of the campaign, contemplate the for-. mation of an organization of their own to look after the interests of the state ticket and work in con-

junction with the state committee." —Indianapolis Star (Rep.) This “organization of their own" which the republican state candidates propose is for self preservation, which is the first law of nature. The "one-man-campaign”—meaning a Beveridge campaign—does not seem to appeal to the other candidates. They are the ones who have put up the money, and they want to have a run for it, if such a thing is possible. The fact that they have determined to have an "organization of their own," shows very clearly that they have very slight, if any, confidence in Mr. Beveridge's personally created state committee. Indeed, they do not appear to regard it any more highly than do Messrs. Hemenwffy, Watson and other regulars who are —at least temporarily—out of the fold. Isn't it awful? The magazines devoted to the clothing trade, with their chapters showing how the retail dealers in tailor made and ready made clothing are forced to sell half shoddy goods for the same price that all wool suits were sold for a few years ago, will not be quoted by any of the defenders of the Taft-Aldrich-Payne-Cannon tariff bill These trade journals state that since the new tariff law went into effect the manufacturers of woolen goods have cut off four ounces of wool per yard of alleged woolen goods to make up for the increased tariff tax. The manufacturer makes the cut, the dealer is expected to deceive his customer and the last named gentleman, otherwise the ultimate consumer, has to stand the ultimate burden. It all means that the farmer, the shopman, the clerk, the laborer, are all getting less than their money's worth at the rate of about four ounces of wool per yard, and about four ounces per yard of shoddy more than before this new tariff law went into effect. This is no campaign argument, either, be it remembered. It is the statement of a trade journal recognized by the dry goods and clothing merchants all over the country, and the mouthpiece of a great class which is race to face with the conditions brought about by the republican tariff law. The argument is one of business, not of politics, and the consumer is the sufferer and the retail clothier the unwilling agent of the imposition.—Fort Wayne JournalGazette.

A royal entertainment was that accorded the senior class or the Decatur high school Tuesday evening by the faculty at the home of Superintendent and Mrs. E. E. Rice. The evening’s fun was set in motion from the first moment. After serving punch in the dining room, Miss Dunathan brought in a jug. and as the boys with one accord stated that they “wanted more of the jug" this played a very prominent part in a contest for them, in which they were required to sit on the jug, with feet crossed and write their names on a sheet of paper. This proved more difficult than one would suppose, but their athletic training stood them in good stead, and four were able to bear off honors. Professor Rice contributed to the program with a bean bag contest, “sides” being chosen for the contest Miss Bess Schrock provided a unique way of telling the class what she thought of them, the message being delivered with as much ceremony as those of the old Delphian trades. By a series of multiplication, addition, etc., each member of the class obtained a sum. in which the letters of the alphabet were to be substituted in place of the numerals. They did i o and each retd the message therein: “A bad egg.” Other novel forms of entertainment were provided and then came refreshments, consisting of ice cream and cake, served in the class colors,'crimson and gold. When the ladies of the Sewing club assembled Tuesday afternoon at the home of Mrs. P. B. Thomas, where they enjoyed the hours pleasantly over their needlework, they had little thought that the meeting was to be other than the usual one, and they were all the more surprised, therefore, when at 5:30 o’clock their husbands, who had met at the Hooper & Lenhart office, filed in, just in time for the bounteous supper which Mrs. Thomas had prepared. The hostess had planned this pleasant little surprise in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Nachtrieb before they go to their new home and the affair was a most happy one. Guests other than the club members were Mr. -and Mrs. W. HKuebler and Mr. and Mrs. C. D. Lewton, the other members of the party being Messrs, and Mesdames Dan Sprang, Dan Beery, P. G. Hooper, R. K. Allison, J. T. Merryman, J. C. Patterson, W. H. Nachtrieb, A. R. Bell, F. W. Dibble and Mrs. Florence DeVilbiss. Music and conversation continued during the evening. Mrs. R. K. Allison will be hostess to the club next Tuesday afternoon. Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Coppock gave a dinner party last Sunday at their home five miles south of the city in honor of Mrs. Coppock’s sister and niece, Mrs. John Cook, and daughter, Ninez, of Windfall, Those present besides the honored guests were Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Coppock and daughter, Merle, and sons, Walter and Del bert; Mr. and Mrs. George Lett and daughters, Iva and Lottie, of Bobo; Mr. and Mrs. Perry Hunt and sons, Lester and Leland, of north of the city; Mr. and Mrs. Theamer DeWitt and daughter, Roxie; Mr. and Mrs. Charles Hawkins and sons, Pearl and Kenneth, and daughters, Imogene and Elloise, Mr. and Mrs. John Carpenter, Mrs. Emma J. Zerkel, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Ferman and daughter, Bernice. Mrs. Harry Ferman and Miss Iva Lett entertained the company with music and all had a joyful time The planting of the rose at the cen- « »

tral school grounds by the senior class is one of the ceremonies of today. The class members attired in cap and gown were present and a little ceremony, distinctly confined to the class, gone through with. The G. W. C. girls were hospitably entertained Tuesday evening by Miss Lizzie Kortenbrer. Prizes in games were won, first: Anna Miller and Kate Ginley; second: Anna Parent and Leona Harting, A very large number of the ladies of the German Reformed church went to Fort Wayne today to be the guests of the St. Peter’s Aid society, which celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of its organization today. lue T. p. G. club, which was to ■ have met on Thursday evening with Miss Agnes Voglewede, has been postponed and will not meet until some time next week. Arrangements are being completed ’ today for the art exhibit at the central school building Thursday and Fri- ; day afternoons. i Mr. and Mrs. F. Spangler entertained at dinner Sunday, the party including Sam Spangler, H. E. Butler, D. F. Leonard, F. Bowers and families. A fine time is reported. Mrs. W. A. Lower gave a delightful little birthday party Tuesday evening for her niece, Miss Helen Lower, who arived at the age of eight years. Outdoor games were indulged in, and then came refreshments of ice cream and cake, served on the porch. The cake was a splendid one, adorned with eight candles, symbolical of the years of Helen, and there was more than one sigh when the beautiful loaf was cut, and the beauty marred to the sight, though the delicious taste soon made up for any loss in l that respect Miss Louva Stoneburner then took the party to the moving picture show, which was indeed a grand climax to a happy evening. The party included Gladys Flanders, Fanny and Dickie Heller, Hazel France, Dora Marie Magley, Lawrence Linn, Louva Stoneburner, Alma Andrews, Lois Peterson and little Mary Catherine Allwein of Shelby, Ohio.
