Entered at the postoffice at Decatur, Indiana, as second-class mail matter. The congressional convention at i Muncie Thursday promises to be one of the Best conventions of the year. Congressman Adair will be named as democracy’s* candidate for congress, and his re-election is already predicted by a large majority of the district s electorate. The Indiana republicans who still call themselves "regulars” doubtless were deeply moved by the announcement that those eminent republican "mugwumps," Lucius B. Sw’ift and William Dudley Foulke, were with "Insurgent" Beveridge at Roosevelt’s home. Swift and Foulke even stayed all night in order that they might impress firmly upon the Roosevelt mind the dangerous situation in which Beveridge is placed. They not only called attention to the fact that John W. Kern is the democratic candidate, but it stands to reason that they said a plenty about the "regular" republicans. for whom they have no use at any time. The Saturday Evening Post calculates that at the present rate of progress it will take four hundred years "to get the tariff down to reasonable limits.” This conclusion is the result of its appeal to the figures which, according to one of the Evening Post’s contemporaries, "uphold President Taft and the new tariff.” It seems that for the nine months ending with April the average duty on all imports, free and dutiable, was 20.91 per cent as against 22.73 per cent under jthe Dingley law. On dutiable imports the average was 41.73 per cent, whereas under the Dingley law it was 42.41 per cent. Thus says the Post: "After all the vast commotion, which tariff revision involved, we get a reduction of duty amounting to .68 of 1 per cent as to dutiable imports, or to almost 2 per cent as to all imports, free and dutiable combined.” Here is the Post’s conclusion: “Since 1870 the republican party has vouchsafed us a reduction of 2.22 per cent, in the duty on manufactures —or. to be exact, on all dutiable imports. This is at the rate of 1 per cent every eighteen years. At that rate it will only take four hundred years to get the tariff down to reasonable limits. No wonder the president regards the figures complacently! But we do not think any insurgent will be dismayed by them.” WANTED —Few midale-aged Decatur gentlemen to cover Decatur, Monroeville.

I A WORD ABOUT | “HIGHWAYS OF PROGRESS.”I Doubleday. Page * Company, the publishers of Dr. James J. Hill's book, "Highways of Progress,” wish to make it clear that this volume consists not merely of the articles which have lately appeared in the World’s Work. It includes all of, these; but they furnish only about half the text Three im portant chapters on the railroad are here printed for the first time; one dealing with construction and operation; the second with financing, rates and profits, and the third with legislative regulations. Another lakes up the important topic of reciprocity with Canada. The gist of some of the chapters may be found in addresses made by Dr. Hill in past years. "But,” to use the author’s own words in his introduction, “they are here arranged for the first time around their logical thoughts; here first connected with all the lines of statistical fact substantiate them; here first set in that relation of parts to a whole which gives to the book its title: “Highways ot Progress.” o RESOLUTIONS Resolutions by the subscribed mem bers of the Board ot Children s Guardians passed at their last hegular meeting: Resolved, That the Bqard of Children's Guardians extend to Mr. Fruchte -and family their heartfelt sympathy in their hour of deepest trouble. The death of a wife and mother is the first great sorrow wept without her. “From the voiceless lips of the unreplylng deas there comes no word, but in the night of death. Hope sees a star, and listening lot e can hear the rustle of a wing.” Resolved, That in the loss of Mrs. Fruchte not only has God in his infinite wisdom removed from her family a woman of deeply religious character, of sterling Christian principles, a woman possessed of womanly virtues and kindly instincts, but one who will be missed by the entire comhunity in which she lived and loved and labored. "Her life was like the day. beautiful in the evening; like the summer aglow with promise, and like the autumn, rich with golden sheaves, where good works and deeds have ripened in the field.” May the beautiful life she lived ever give forth the fragrance of the love of God. and be a sweet remembrance to her# loved ones. 1 Resolved. That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the family of Mr. Fruchte, our sorrowing co-worker, and spread upon the pages of our secretary’s book. Board of Children’s Guardians. MR. FORDYCE. MRS.
