Isn’t it just a little too democratic the way these insurgents talk about the protective fed interests, and their outrageous assaults against the dear people? No wonder the average standpatter feels just a little sick at the stomach, and resents the motives of their former associates. We do not blame them for harboring this resefitment and along with it the feeling that a real democrat has a better record than a near-democrat or insurgent could possibly have. ■L - ■ Henry O. Havemeyr, former hehd of the sugar trust, is dead. It is comparatively safe, therefore, for the other officers of the trust to lay responsibility for the weighing frauds, by which

the trusts made millions, at his door. The •‘live ones," however, should be attended to and also the party that gave the sugar trust Its power for evil. Says the Louisville Courrier-Journal: “Very probably Henry O. Havemeyer knew of and approved the weighing methods of the sugar trust. Was he guiltier, if this is true, than dis-i tingulshed leaders of the republican j party who know' of, and approve, the party’s method of filling the sugar trust's orders for legislation?” Hardly. And while the republican ' party is not dead, as Havenneyer is, it seems to be bordering on dissolution. The republican standpatters were free with their hot air predictions that the present democratic delegation of eleven in congress would be the means of Indiana losing prestige and standing with the powers that be in congress. The omnibus building bill, which is now prepared, does not indicate much loss in the pork barrel. Twelve appropriations for public buildings in Indiana were allowed them, the total of such appropriations being in excess of six hundred thousand dollars. Congressman Adair gets sixty thousand for a site and building at Portland. The more these hot air republican partisans talk, the deeper they get both feet in the mire. Speaking of the result of its recent vote wherein 1,500 Indiana people gave their opinions upon men and

measurs, the Cincinnati Enquirer, says: “Os the success of the administration of Governor Thomas Marshall the plebiscite indicates popular approva’. There are 1,110 who say that it is giving satisfaction, which forms 80 per cent of the whole number of votes. There are 174, or 13 per cent, who Insist that it is a failure, and 132, or about 9V4 per cent, who say that success or failure is a matter of doubt. * * Saving these exceptions, there is no gainsaying that the vote indicates more than the usual popularity achieved by a chief executive elected under the unusual circumstances which attended Governor Marshall's victory over such a strong man as Congressman James Watson.” As, the vote upon other questions indicated that at least half, and perhaps many more than half, of those whose views were sought are republicans, the indorsement of Governor Marxian’s administration is practically unanimous. Which merely goes to show that the people know and appreciate a good thing when they see it. NOTICE. Decatur council, No. 280, of the National Union, will hold a meeting at the office of Kirsch, Sellemeyer & Sons at 8 p. m., Tuesday, June 14th. Important business is on hand. All members of Decatur council are urged to be present. W. J .MYERS, 138t2 President. — Democrat Want Ads Pay.

SOCIETY DOINGS Miss Marie Allison Will Give Masked Ball This Evening For Visiting COLLEGE FRIENDS Strawberry Dinner Gven at W. A. Fonner Home — The Club Notes. THE ANTIS. She was an Anti-Suffragist, from somewhere up the state, Who thought it was her duty to offset the coming fate. So, although she was a spinster, she went lecturing here and there On “Wife and Mother, Home and Child, the Nursery and Prayer." Another of the Antis—a mother of thirteen — Saw votes for Women coming and stepped bodily on toe scene; She packed up her little carpet bag and went from Troy to Rome. Just preaching to creation that “A Woman’s Place is HOME.” And there was still another —with a husband meek at hand— She used to tell the neighbors “she could train him with one hand." She said "he didn’t know as much as their old Texas mule,” But the text of all her lectures was, "Wives, Let Your Husbands Rule." The next one was a widow who would gladly wed again: To her the weighty question was not altogether plain; But throughout her lengthy lecture all the subject matter ran That she w’ouldn’t vote for women, but she would vote for a MAN. The last had done the housework and the farmwork all her life. Although there was a farmer and she was this farmer's wife. She’d churned and hayed and gardened, paid the taxes, saved the farm, But she lectured on “The Comfort of a Man’s Protecting Arm." —Lurinda W. Sheldon in New York Times.
