Entered at the postofiice at Decatur, Indiana, as second-class mall matter. Beveridge is trying to hide his “Insurgency” behind the tariff commission idea—which is merely the old three-shells-ande-'ittle-pea game. Tho' bold some time ago, ne is now content, it seems, to accept almost any sort of a hand-out that the regulars are willing to bestow and forget all the rest. A sane Fourth in 1911 Is the determination of a number of the business men of Decatur and if you are dealing in this line of merchandise it would be well for you to remember It when ordering your stock for next season. If the city council can pass an ordinance that will prevent the shooting of cannon crackers, they will be doing a turn that will be greatly j appreciated by the public in general. ' Do the republicans of Indiana in-' tend to make John W. Kern’s declaration that he was defrauded of a seat; in the United States senate by the i brewers turning against him eight of his supporters, the paramount issue ot this year’s campaign? If so, they are far from being guided by political wisdom. That prop can be knocked ' from under on short metre. It is entirely too flimsy for a four-months' campaign.—South Bend Times. Jack Johnson, six months ago an unknown negro, and who the American public a week ago expected by this time to have his face bandaged and plastered, but who surprised them by I whipping big Jim Jeffries so easy, that the latter’s friends have not yet been able to dig up an excuse, is to be run for aiderman in the republican district in which he resides in Chicago. It is also stated that the district, which is largely made up of colored population will elect him. In the meantime poor Jeff is pitching alfalfa in southern California. Republican State Chairman Lee, who specially represents Senator Beveridge, announced after a conference betw-een the senator and the republican congressional candidates that not much would be said about the PayneAldrich tariff law, but that all of the candidates would whoop it up on the “tariff commission” line. As the sole purpose of a tariff commission as proposed by the republicans is to find out how much tariff graft the people will stand, the democrats will welcome issue as another pudding for them. The democrats are fighting the tariff graft in toto. Roosevelt has announced that he will thoroughly investigate the political situation in this country before expressing his views. This is radi-

cally different from his usual way of jumping Into the middle of things but he has a very semous condition to I deal with. There Is a profoundly significant fact connected with the I means he is taking of finding out all about politics. Instead of calling tn | the leaders of the party, the men ' who have been responsible for the late tariff and who are really the party, as Taft does when he wishes advice, .Roosevelt calls in his insurgents, who in turn, are Ignored by the president. What the attitude of Mr. Roosevelt will be may be judged from the past and his present actions. He is really out of sympathy with the Taft administration whether he says so or not. —Columbia City Post. ANNUAL PICNIC — " 11* The Zion Lutheran Church Arranging For Big Event Next Sunday.
