Entered at the postoffice at Decatur, Indiana, as second-class mall matter. “Where the tariff hits us hardest, it has been increased; where the change is not material, it has been reduced.”—Beveridge. Editor Harry Troutman of Montpelier has been named as postmaster for his home town, and we are willing to concede that the appointment is all right. The new appointee has long ago earned the recognition and will faithfully serve the government Programs are out for the summer meeting of the Indiana Democratic Editorial association, which will hold its sessions on June 23rd, 24th and 25th at French Lick Springs, where they will be the guests of the Hon. Thomas Taggart. Among the events of the meeting will be a banquet with the Hons. Clay Metsker, editor of the Plymouth Democrat, John W. Kern and S. M. Ralston as speakers. The selection of Mr. O. L. Vance as a member of the school board is in keeping with the high standard of the Decatur public schools. Mr. Vance has every qualification of an acceptable member of such a board. He is broad-minded, thorough in his business methods and well trained in educational lines. He will follow Mr. D. B. Erwin, who has long been a faithful and efficient member of this important branch of our city government. The defenders of the Payne-Aldrich tariff are now saying that tariffs do not increase tariffs. If this is so, what is meant by tariff for “protection” and why should anyone want it? But it does increase prices and does it outrageously. As Champ Clark, democratic leader In the national house, said: “Not only the suit of clothes, but everything else that the working man uses, has gone up in price. The denim overalls chat he formerly purchased for 50 cents are now 75 cents, and his cotton shirt has advanced

from 50 cents to 75 cents and SI. He is still offered a 50-cent shirt, but it is made of a poor flimsy fabric in which he really cannot afford to Invest If he has the price of better quality.” While the exact date has not yet been fixed, the democratic congressional convention will be held about the middle or July. By that time congress will have adjourned. District Chairman Beebe will within the next few days call a meeting of the distrist committee to be held at Muncie to name a time and place for holding the congressional convention. Congressman Adair, who is now serving his second term in congress, will have no opposition for a third nomination. Anderson Bulletin. Congressman Kennedy of Ohio, a standpatter, made a speech in his dis trict the other day in which he assailed the newspapers and magazines for exploding the silly republican campaign proposition that “the foreigner pays the tax" by asking that print paper and wood pulp be put upon the free list. Kennedy said: “From one end of this land to the other the newspapers and magazines began to preach the democratic —the cld worn-out democratic cry—that the tariff raises prices to the consumer. In the face of all this storm of opposition the party went consistently forward and made the best tariff bill that was ever written in this country." The first effect of this speech was to cause a leading republican paper, which had long been a party organ, to bolt and to declare that Kennedy “is not a fit man" to represent the people of his district. It must be evident that any man who denies that the tariff raises prices to the consumer is unfit to represent the people. If the tariff does not increase prices why do the "protectionists” want it? A STORE IS KNOWN BY THE MERCHANDISE IT KEEPS. A new customer came into our store the other day and bought a suit, a hat and a few other things. Our clerk told him as he left that we hoped to see him in the store right along as a steady customer. “Oh, I will be in right along," he replied. “I am a newcomer to Decatur, but when I saw that Sweet Orr sign outside your door I said to myself, ‘That is the store for me.’ You see I have worn Sweet Orr overalls for ten years or more and have learned that the clothing store which carries Sweet Orr overalls Is generally the most reliable one and the best place to buy all my clothing.” Moral:—The store which sells you the best overalls can be depended upon to give you a square deal. See Teeple, BranCyberry and Peterson for that new suit, dress shirt, straw hat and fancy tie. Big asortment. 134t2

The reguar monthly business and social session of the German Reformed Christian Endeavor was held Tuesday evening at the home of Misses Emma. Ella and Huldah Mutchler.

Organist—Alice Knapp. The forty-five or fifty in attendance then enjoyed the social time that followed the business period, for which a number of interesting contests were provided. One was a word contest, in which words were guessed from descriptive verses; another was a contest in which advice was written to various members, the papers then being exchanged and the person to whom the advice was addressed, guessed. Another was one in which each guest was given eight beans, and a chance to see how many could be dropped into a bottle on the floor. Refreshments of ice cream, devil’s food cake, crescents and lemonade were served. The porch was hung with Japanese lanterns, which produced a cheerful effect, while flowers adorned the room within.

the July session, at her home four miles east of the city, the party going ouf on a bay rack. One of the social events of the season was the surprise party given by Mrs. Herve Parrish Sunday in honor of her husband. Herve Parrish, and to say that he was surprised, would be putting it mildly.
