Entered at the postoffice at Decatur, Indiana, as second-class mall matter. Senator Daniel of Virginia is dead, having suffered the third stroke of paralysis which, ended his life. The Virginia senator has long been in national public life, being one of the oldest democratic members of the United States senate, and until recent 1 years, when his health became impaired, he was a conspicuous figure and in popular favor, Chairman Lee of the republican state committee is evidently making a few discoveries. He told a fifth district audience the other day that, the republicans of the state could expect no support from the democrats this time. He could just as truthfully said in addition that a large element of the republicans will furnish their party but small comfort. Calls are appearing in the democratic newspapers of the district for the selection oi delegates to the democratic congressional convention, which will be held in Muncie July 14th. It is expected that this will be one of the largest and most enthusistic conventions of the year, and this, too, in the face of the fact that Congressmen Adair will have a clear field.

The reason for ail this enthusiasm lies tn the fact that Congressman Adair is in popular favor not alone with the democrats, but with the people of all political beliefs. They not only wish him well, but they will see that his political future is well taken care of in the election. They like the man, they trust him and when that is said, politics cuts but little Ice. Even If Insurgency leads to democratic control, we have grave doubts as to whether the country will go wholly to the devil; and anyhow, there isn't enough difference between insurgent policies and democratic policies for us to make a choice between | them. Our contention is that republican policies have ever been and are now, for the best interest of tad country, that they have and are now bringI ing prosperity to the nation, and that i the fight being made upon President Taft's administration in republican circles is wholly unjustifiable.—-Hunt-ington Morning Times, Rep. _. . t - ""i In the course of its tariff discussios, the Marion Chronicle asks how it can be claimed that the rate of duty affects tne price of sugar when in Gei many, where the rate of protection is much higher than it it is in this country, sugar sells at two cents a pound less than It does here. The . answer to this is easy also. In both Germany and the United States protection, by snutting out foreign competi- • tition. gave opportunity for the for- • mation of trusts with monopolistic ■ prices; but Germany, unlike the Unit- , ed States, has a graded tax system j which effectually prohibits monopoly j ■ and preserves home competition. It is not necessary to claim that the . high protective tariff is alone responsible for the exorbitant prices. But it does furnish breeding ground for

trusts, with all their train of evils. Hence The Times believes that the rate of duty should in every case be kept so low that it would simply provide for the higher cost of American labor, and not furnish means for amassing collossal fortunes, controlling congresses, and destroying domestic competition. It further urges the use of the taxing power of the government and prison penalties, if necessary, to crush oat the monopolies already existing and prevent the formation of others. —South Bend Times. AN OPERATION Mrs. J. C. Tritch Becomes 11l Suddenly While at Bloomington. SERIOUS OPERATION II r, „ — (I Undergone Yesterday—Supposed Here to be For Peritonitis. ». f The many friends of Mrs. J. C. Tritch will be grieved to hear of her serious illness at Bloomington, where she went a week ago Tuesday with her husband, *. teacher in the city schools, who is taking a summer course in the state university. A brief message was received the first of : the week stating that she was ill, an- | ether later stated that a nurse had been placed in charge Tuesday, while a message yesterday brought the news that she was forced to undergo an eperation. Very meager was the information, but it is thought here that the operation was for peritonitis. A (Continue don page 4.)
