The record of the republican party this year in the matter of platform utterances is a confusing one. If the coming county convention Is to adopt resolutions, and It is a time-honored custom, we trust they will be of a nature that will commend themselves to all republicans, and not simply gratify factional feeling. At the state convention the tariff law and the county local option law were both ignored. At the congressional convention, the tariff law was endorsed, but local option not mentioned for the very good reason that it was not a national issue. Both President Taft and Senator Beveridge were endorsed at both conventions. At the Joint senatorial convention, Taft, Beveridge and the local option law were commended and approved. At the joint representative convention the president and senator received endorsement, but reference to the tariff law and local option law was omitted, although the legislative record of Mr. Mummer, (re-nominated,) who voted for the local option law, was commended. Taken as a whole, the resolutions are open to criticism, not for what they did declare as the principles of the party, but for sins of omission, and lack of uniformity. The tariff law and the county local option law are republican laws, and the republican party must stand or fall by them. The Times doesn't believe that shirking responsibility is good politics, and there should have been something like harmony in all the resolutions adopted, instead of halting phrases when principles and policies are to

Tfife reception tendered by the graduates of the Decatur high school to their many friends at the library hall Friday evening at the close of the commencement exercises was a most lovely one. The two assembly rooms on the lower floor were thrown into one broad hall and the rooms were thronged with those who mingled after extending their congratulations and best wishes to those who stand on the threshhold of life. Streamers of purple and gold were twined about the pillars of the halls, and were used in many other ways in beautifying the reception room A little alcove where punch was served during the evening was turned into a bower of foliage and flowers. Music was provided by the Misses Martha Kettler and Naomi Niblick. The company was served with refreshments of ice cream and cake, those serving being six young freshmen girls—Mary P itton, Eda Butler, Lillian Rice, Ruth Parrish and Winifred Sowers. The Home and Foreign Missionary society of the Presbyterian church will hold its regular monthly meeting next Tuesday afternoon May 31st, at the home of Mrs. J. Love on South Mercer avenue. A good program will be given, also a report from the annual Presbyterial meeting held recently at Fort Wayne. Mrs. C. A. Dugan will have the paper on “American Slavery,” and the “round table” will be conducted by Mrs. T. M. Reid. At the close of the meeting a sale of pastry and other good home-made dishes will be for sale at reasonable prices. All members of the church as well as all ladies everywhere are most cordially invited to be present. The seniors’ farewell party will be given Monday morning with a 6 o'clock breakfast at the home of Frank Mills. The guests will be the seniors and those members of the faculty who have not yet left the city. Very many of the class will leave Monday for the respective normal schools, where they will prepare themselves for teaching in the fall, and the party at the Mills home will probably be the last reunion they will have for some time.
