' " "" ' Thursday, July 14th, is the day set by the organization of this district 1 for the renomination of the Hon. J. A. M. Adair for congress. Twice before the democrats of the district , conferred a like honor upon this dis- . tinguished citizen, but never before have they conferred it when an election looked so much like a certainty. Congressman Adair has long ago made good, and his return to congress will be a matter of pride in the district.; irrespective of politics, or anything that looks like politics. It is neither surprising nor unfitting that Senator Beveridge should desire Judge Heaton to represent the Twelfth district in congress. Very naturally the senator desires in the lower house men of his own quality, who can be relied upon at all times to stand firmly for that which they consider right. In the next congress there is going to be some great team work performed by | the Indiana delegation.—Fort Wayne News. We will have to refer this matter to your friend, Senator LaFollette. for confirmation. If he o. k's Senator Beveridge s Judge Heaton, all is well. I_j t ■«, uj . r— The republican party has been in control of both houses of congress for sixteen years and of the entire government for fourteen years. During that time monopolies and trusts have enormously increased and all special interests favored by the have thrived. On the contrary the income of the masses —wages and sal- ■ aries. the returns of toil —have decreased about one hundred per cent*

when compared with the cost of living Who Is responsible? Here is what Gifford Pinchot, a noted republican, said about it June Uth in a speech in St. Paul: "Because the special Interests are in politics, we as a nation have lost Interest in congress. This is a serious statement to make, but it Is true. * * The people of the United States believe that, as a whole, the senate and house no longer represent the voters by whom they were elected, but the special interests by whom they are controlled. They believe so because they have often seen congress reject what the people desire, and do instead what the interests demand And of this there could be no better illustration than the tariff." The rank and file of the republican party are at last beginning to see that what the democrats have been telling them about these things is true —so true that they can no longer be denied by honest men or men who make even a pretense of honesty. OBITUARY. Cornelia (Ball) Elzey was born In Adams county. January 6, 1862, and departed this life June 11. 1910. The full time of her days was 48 years, 5 months and 5 days. In the year 1879, November 15th, she was united in marriage to Alfred Elzey, who still survives her. To this union were born four children, two sons. Lawrence and Jay. and two daughters. Mrs. Jacob Meyers and Mrs. Russell Andrews, all of whom are still living. Mrs. Elzey lived all of her days in Adams county. She was a hard-work-ing, energetic woman, and was greatly concerned about her domestic affairs. In the home she spared no effort to bring comfort to both those of her immediate family and also to those of her many friends. She provided well for the home, was a real mother and kind companion She was a strong believer in right, truth and I honesty. In religious matters Mrs. Elzey was also a staunch believer. From childhood she has been interested in Christianity and always stood for the true religion. Some of her last words were, “I am ready to go." She leaves a sorrowing husband, two daughters, two sons, two brothers, two sisters and many other relatives and friends to mourn her departure. o We will pay 13 cents for delivered fowls. —The Decatur Produce Co. » o We can help you exchange your gasoline stove for a gas range. — Indiana Lighting Company. u2t2

The lawn fete given Friday evening at the Park house by the girls of the V W. A. club for Miss Margaret Todd of Bluffton, was a most happy one. Japanese lanterns, strung from! the branches of the overhanging trees, porch seats dotting the lawn here and there, and delightful little nooksj everywhere, provided an admirable setting for the festive occasion, nature also contributing by providing an ideal night. The porch also took on gala attire. Festoons of crepe streamers in the club colors of lavendar and green, combined with lanterns and with banks of potted plants, transformed it into a bower of beauty. In one corner punch was served during the evening by the Misses Leah Hensley and Gladys Mangold. Within the home, the lights were shaded with I hoods in the club colors.
