Entered at the poetofflce at Decatur, Indiana, as second-class mall matter. Now comes Hon. Charles S. Hemley, former state chairman and a leader in the republican party of the state, and predicts that before autumn rolls around the republicans of the state will hold a real, genuine, blown-ln-the-bottle state convention —imitators need not apply. Upon this occasion and at this time President Taft, the Payne-Aldrich tariff law will be praised and commended. At the same time Beveridge populism will be comdemned to the fiery furnace below. Such a convention would prove entertaining to say the least, and it would go a long ways in proving that the standpat republicans were honest in their beliefs. Come on, boys; let's have 'er. Senator Aldrich, the real leader of the republican party, says that the $250,000 appropriated by the combined vote of the standpatters and insurgents for the support of Mr. Taft's tariff board will be used to "justify'' the Payne-Aldrich tariff law. In other words, the people's money will be taken and used not in behalf of the people but to bolster up a law made especially for the favored interests. And this is done, too, in the face of the fact that the Payne-Aldrich law is so drawn that for every dollar of public revenue produced by it five dollars of private graft are levied upon the people under its protection by the trusts and monopolies that procured its passage. It is to the lasting credit of the democrats in congress that they voted against appropriating that $250,000. It is evident that the principal issue in the approaching national campaign will be, not between republicans and democrats, but between standpatters and progressives. The congressional committee's plan involves a fight between the two elements of the party which must go on until one side or the other wins. No other result than this is possible. It is said that President Taft looks with favor on this program. We thing it quite likely. For wherever he has had a chance to make a political mistake he has made it. So. too, his associations have been almost exclusively with the AldrichCannon wing of the party. He himself has defended the tariff law and condemned the insurgents. Rut the only effect will be still to alienate the people from him, and so still further to weaken the party. The situation is, no doubt, extremely embarassing. But a worse way out could hardly have been chosen. The people are as determined to get business out

, bf politics as they ever were to get k slavery out. They agree with Mr. Pin--1 chot that morality has broken into politics, and feeling thus they will ' s hardly follow the lead of men who ! stand for methods which they believe : to be inconsistent with the new political faith. —Indianapolis News. _ j. i mai I Uncle Joe Cannon has issued his ! ultimatum to the effect that Indiana ) will not hear him during this cam- ’ paign. we are sorry for this. While I I we do not agree with him or his . I methods of congressional proceedure, ■ yet we are willing to admit that he is ; the greatest character in public life. . He is perhaps the last of that old . school of public men who can swear by note, play poker and then talk , about it in public as well as in pri- , vate. He is candidly candid, as was . evidenced tn his New York speech j when he said that hanging was too , good for an insurgent that they ought , to be shot. He is a standpatter that glories in the fact that the trusts and . monopolis get the fat of the tariff . grind. He pretends to be nothing, only what he is. While he is dead wrong, yet we like him because he Is > what he is, and not a pretender of t what he is not. Right here we could t make this appear personal, but in In- . diana this year it is hardly necessary. : The campaign itself will draw its own parallel, as those In charge of the f destinies of the g. o. p. are with Un- » cle Joe, only on the surface they are trying to make it appear that they are against him. In the long run we believe it will pay them to be as can- ' I , did as Uncle Joe.

He also received thirty-one postal cards of handsome design. After an evening of enjoyment and dancing, ice cream and cake was supplied to refresh the weary travelers and when “God be With You Till We Meet Again” had been sung the guests wended their way home, wishing their i pastor many more happy returns of the day.

WITH RHEUMATISM Carl is an Expert in Making Fine and Artistic Embroidery Work. Carl, eight-year-old grandson of Mrs. Belle Schlegel, living in the south part of the city, was made happy yesterday by the presentation of a purse of money from a number of his friends who interested themselves in him. It was thought to buy him an invalid chair but later it was thought best to give him the purse. He has been afflicted for a number of years with inflammatory rheumatism, leaving him badly crippled. The little lad is a bright little fellow, and was able to go to school a part of last term, dur- ' ing the fall. His spare time he employs in making fancy work, and is quite an expert in the embroidering of doilies, any of which, with their flow- ; ers and designs in exquisite solid embroidery. with all its artistic and realistic blendings of color, would do cred it to an expert artistic profesional.
