Entered at the postoffiue at Decatur, Irfdiana, as second-class mail matter. Senator Beveridge is getting his bumps these days. The standpatters at Evansville refused to endorse him in a senatorial convention. It should be remembered that the last year of the Roosevelt administration spent over ten hundred million dollars, while the last year of the Cleveland administration spent only four hundred and fifty millions. And Tait's administration is spending more money than Roosevelt did. Two Grover Cleveland democrats were sent to Oyster Bay to aid Senator Beveridge in impressing Colonel Roosevelt to journey to Indiana during the fall political festivities and to aid Him with a speech upon the duties of the hour. The rank and file of the g. o. p. will doubtless be more than impressed with the arguments advanced by these great men. Speaking of Roosevelt’s promised speech in this state in behalf of Beveridge. a newspaper item says: "The democrats are asserting with considerable sarcasm that the republicans are going to attempt to stampede the voters by bringing former President Roosevelt into Indiana in hopes that he will be able to take their minds off the high cost of living and other matters for which the democrats intend to force the republicans to answer.” How can Roosevelt take the people's minds off the "high cost of living ana other matters?” Roosevelt himself is very largely to blame for these things. His administration, next to that of Taft, was the most extravagant in the history of the country. It was not only extravagant; it was enormously wasteful. Not a word has Roosevelt ever said in favor of economy. Not a thing did he ever do or say to reduce the cost of living. X'nder his administration the food trust openly grew and thrived without a hand being raised to stop it. The people of Indiana are not '"daffy” about Roosevelt. Just now he is merely looked upon as a "tolerable-size"' oyster of Oyster Bay. STOCKHOLDERS' MEETING.

Then taking heart he went again, The question to propound; HerTieart waschangetj, ''W'y, yes.” she said, Then followed joy profound. Within this doggeral you may say.

It has five parts, but they have been By ruthless hands dissected; But in the taie each one you'll find In places least expected. See number one is Hero's name, In his sweetheart's answer two; Now with these hints the rest I'm sure You'll find without a clew. Found and arranged they form a thing That meets with many a snub; But growing still and lusty, too.
