R. Marshall as the leader. Allen county ran up e majority of from 4.0»v to 5.000. This year, with lhe prospect of Marshall's candidacy for president as a stimulus, it ought to go above that figure. It will not fall below an average of 5,000. —Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette. Uncle Joe Cannon is defying his lit-’ tie band of insurgents and openly confessing that he is a candidate for congress in his district again and that i after his election thereto and provid-' ing the next congress has a majority of republicans and insurgents, he will again be a candidate for speaker. You cannot lose Uncle Joe. Congress created a commission to •‘study* the possibility of reducing the cost of government.” The commission should not have a hard job.

All the studying that is necessary is as to the best and quickest way to put the democratic party in full control of the government. When that is done the cost will be reduced and it will not be reduced before. Senator Beveridge, It is reported, recently told a friend that the democrats would carry Ohio this year by 20,000 and Illinois by 50,000, but that Indiana would go republican by 40.000 —all because the republicans of Indiana had a LEADER. Mr. Beveridge’s ! traditional modesty prevented him giving the name of that leader, but 1 he did not mean Fairbanks. Hemenway Watson, Durbin or any other person saving and excepting the Hon. Albert J. Beveridge. L I It will be noticed that Senator Beveridge is not so rantanerous as he was about the time he held his state convention, and there are those who are now saying that he is sorry that he spoke. It is evident that were the ‘ state convention to be held now, the tale would be different. Senator Beveridge will learn some things about statesmanship that he never knew be--1 tore, and one of them will be that even Senator Beveridge is not bigger I , ’ or better than his party. So much good in the way of changed policies and methods in the management of the office of governor in ' Indiana has resulted since the elec- ' tion of Thomas R. Marshall that the l people of the state feel that there ' would be additional benefit from sending a full quota of democratic officers to Indianapolis. Thousands of dollars have been saved to the tax

payers by the lopping off of needless appropriations, dispensing with , and the cutting off of wastes In the running of state institutions. In dealing with the school book law the governor has saved the people thou sands without impairing the efficiency of the schools and in his every act he ha» taken steps to have the business of the state run in accordance with business principles and not for selfish or sentimental purposes. Sucn a record made with a set of officials out of sympathy with him makes the demand strong for friendly officers.— Columbia City Post. NEWS OF MONROE The Interurban Project a Chief Subject of Discussion There. JUST AT PRESENT Many Come and Go—New Leichty Building Nearing Completion. Monroe, Ind.. June 29—(Special to Daily Democrat)—Quite a number of discussions are ueing -aeard on the streets concerning the completion of the Springfield interurban. The general opinion seems to be that same would be a benefit to all, especially the farmer in close proximity to the line. Several of the young people attended the Children s Day exercises at the Valley church, southwest of here, last Sunday. Mrs. William Mitchell is quite sick at her home east of here. Marion Oliver returned Monday afternoon from an over-Sunday visit with Frank Oliver and family at Toledo. Ohio. J. Fred Mayer spent Sunday with his parents at this place. Clarence Smith came home Friday from the Bluffton business college for a week's vacation with his parents. Many of the Monroe people will leave Friday and Saturday for Rome City and various other places to celebrate the Fourth. Charles Carver sold his well-im-proved eighty-acre farm, located a short distance east of this place, through the agency of A. S. Keller, to John Louks of Clinton county. The farm is a good one and bought quite a neat little sum. M. F. Rice of Decatur was a business visitor in town Tuesday morning. Charles Gross of the Becker Bros. Paper company, was calling on out business men last Monday. A young man returning from Hancock, New Jersey, who had just been discharg d from the U. S. army, where he served six years in the heavy artillery, stopped off here for a few days' visit with relatives near this place before going to his home at Oxfoid. Ohio. John Mayer and Marion Oliver transacted business at Decatur Tuesday. • The Lichty Bros. & Company's new building is now ready for the finishing touches and wil be occupied in a i short time with as fine a stock of hardware as can be seen in any town many times larger than Monroe. The building they now occupy will be converted into a tinsbop and storeroom in connection with their hardwareline. oNOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNERS.

Every one of the interurban cars leaving here every half hour Tuesday were filled to the utmost with picnickers, and those who could not spend the entire day there went to join the other members of the family at the noon-hour dinner, or to spend the afternoon. Base ball games, and other amusements of all kinds were in evidence and the day closed ail too soon for all The attendance at the Presbyterian Ladies' Missionary social Tuesday afternoon was very good.

Florence Sprunger and Jean Lutz. The lesson study was on the evangelization of the negro, and after this period, a pastry sale was held. Refreshments of ice cream, cake and lemonade were served. Decatur was largely represented among the one hundred or more who attended the dance given at the Andrew Miller home south of the city last evening. The dance was given in the big, roomy barn, which was lighted with many Japanese lanterns, making quite a pleasing effect. Music was furnished by an orchestra, including John Geary, Lew Rumschlag John Weber and Others, and the evening was one of rare pleasure.

Mrs. Morris and daughter, Lucile, will be guests other than the club members. The Dorcas Daughters met this afternoon at the home of Mrs. Mathias Kirsch in the north part of the city and a large crowd was in attendance. The afternoon was spent in the usual way and a real good time was enjoyed by all present. The ladies of the Monroe M. E. Aid society want everybody to attend their ice cream social to be given at Monroe on the evening of Saturday, July 2nd. The proceeds will be applied on the carpet.
