Entered at the postottice at Decatur, Indiana, as second-class mail matter. Senator Beveridge after spending I two days in Indiana and after a casual glance over the political prospects as presented to him by his insurgent friends, admits that he is a winner. It evidently takes but little to console ' the senior senator. — The democrats of Adams county | should remember the congressional convention at Muncie next Thursday and attend. Congressman Adair will be renominated without opposition and will be elected with but slight opposition. Go to Muncie. See and hear your next congressman. Senator Beveridge and the republican candates for congress have agreed to "play up” the tariff commission. As the tariff commission was voted $250,000 of the people’s money to be used in defending the Payne-Aldrich tariff law, which Beveridge so recently denounced, and in figuring out the full measure of tariff graft that may be legalized, the job of playing it up will be a hard one. The panic of the national republican leaders over the fact that a billion dollar congress has been added to the party’s other handicaps for the fall election is pitiable. All the statistical forces of the administration are now trying to juggle the bookkeeping so as to hide the extravagance from the voters. —Pittsburg

Post. But "juggling" la not all. In addition to that there Is a lot of ordinary, every day lying being done, ut it will not count this time. Alter paying all expenses during the year ending June 30th the governi ment has a surplus of about nine million dollars on hand, and republican papers are pointing to the surplus with pride. In order to have a surplus, however, it was necessary to provide additional sources for revenue. One of these sources is the corporation tax, which alone brought into the treasury in the neighborhood of thirty million dollars. Without the I corporation tax there would have been another large deficit this year. What the people are interested in most is the matter of expenditures. There has been no decrease there, but a tremendous increase. By laying on the ■ tax high enough the treasury can be kept from going bankrupt, but a full treasury does not signify that the i burdens of taxation have been light- < ned or reduced. —Columbia City Post.

Too oft Our artists spend their skill in rounding soft Fair curves upon their statues, while the rough And ragged edges of the unhewn stuff In their own nature startle and offend , The eye of critic and the hearts of friends. if in thy too brief day thou must neglect Thy labor or thy life, let men detect J'lgws in thy work, while their most searching gaze Can tall on nothing which they may not praise In thy well-chiseled character.

The hostess was assisted in serving by the Misses Hazel France, Frances Ward and Leona Bosse. The gifts for the bride consisted of silver, linen, and everything—both useful and ornamental—that contributes to the comfort, convenience and beauty of the home, and they were given in a liberal "shower ’ —the bride finding herself nearlt buried beneath the fall of the beautiful, lavish expressions of good will and esteem of her friends.
