What it has not done directly It has done indirectly. It has taught us how to make graft legal. It has established a new code of morals for us. It has weakened the moral fibre of the country. It has bound up the decalogue in lavender and gold lace and relegated it to conversational use on Sundays. It has brought us where the average man is satisfied if he is in no danger from a grand jury. "It is time to explode the myth of i the American workingmen as the protectionists see him. The steel trust has 2,700 American workingmen up at Gary; they all come from the south and southeast of Europe, and they were duly taken to the polls and voted to a man, and they voted the republican ticket for their own protection, no doubt. The American workingman who is worthy of the name, is not afraid of the competition of the European workingman, and he does not permit the trust he may happen to work for to tell him how he shall j vote. * * * "All the recent third party talk has come from the republican side of the house. It is the usual discussion | when new alignments are the order ; ot the day. But whenever ETAOI ot the day.

•s the democratic party depends on this organization liaelf, I object aeriously to loading the party platform with all kinds of 'lsms.' The people can think of ouly one thing at a time, and that is all they should be asked to think of. A tariff-for-revenue-only platform with each word meaning just what it says, is simply enough. "New alliances are being formed... Views are changing. But, instead of a third party, 1 believe that the republican party will become soon the gatnering place of all those who believe in the protective principle. It will attract all those, many of whom now profess allegiance elsewhere, who believe that government exists for the benefit and profit of the few —that its function is to aid in giving to those divinely or providentially chosen and in taking from those who create wealth. All others will be driven Into the democratic party. "In such a division of political views there lias been only one outcome as far as my reading of history has taugnt, me. The people have always won. That is why I say the one platform necessary is a tariff for revenue only. It marks plainly the division between privilege or aristocracy and popular rights by democracy.''-—lnter-view with Governor Marshall in New York World. All of the talk about organizinfi a new party comes from republicans and shows better than anything else could how deep the dissatisfaction in that party is. When a party loses the confidence of its own rank and file it is about at the end of its rope. TO BE DETECTIVE Ex-Marshal Fred Bohnke Takes Position With the Pennsylvania R. R. A GOOD POSITION — Headquarters at Crestline, Ohio —Run Between That City and Pittsburg. Fred Bohnke of Fort Wayne, formerly city marshal of Decatur, but w ho has been working in Fort Wayne for some time, wishes to notify his friends that he has accepted a railroad position and will begin his work at once. He has been appointed a detective on the Pennsylvania railroad by Captain Stohle of the Fort Wayne division, with headquarters at Crestline, and his run will be between that city and Pittsburg. The position is a jgood one, carrying with it a handsome salary, and Fred considers himself lucky in receiving the position. He will work under Captain Limecastle. from whom he will receive his orders and to whom he will also have to make his reports. Since leaving here Fred has worked at several places, but none seemed to satisfy him. and now' since he has been appointed to this one he will feel more at home. His many Decatur friends will be much interested in this announcement and will also wish for him success. o— THE BEST YET.

"Nothing useless is. or low : Each thing in its place is best.” —Longfellow. EPILOGUE. A lovely rose in a garden grew. No word in its praise was left unspoken By people who passed through. Near by Its side, grew a cabbagehead : But not a look of notice was giv'n By those who passed its bed. Lovers came: He plucked the rose, new-blown For Her: "O love! Here is thy likeness. Let it adorn its own!” The cabbage sighed—lts heart rent in rent in twain — "For us the same hand cares; the same dew Falls: the same earth mundane. Its nourishment gives. And yet. O why Should I so different—useless —be? —Methinks that I will die.” The lovers, at length, returned that way. She. tired and wan as the now faded rose That moved with each heart play. Os the snow-white bosom where it lav. "Love fed on roses alone, will Etherize and fade away.” Musing thus, they looked around. “ 'Tis meet That we more sustenance take.'' Then — They both of them did eat — Os the cabbage that had sighed itself in twain — • —Jessie E. M. Forty friends of Mrs. Ernest Schlieman were entertained by her yesterday afternoon at a social at her home, the event being given in celebration of her birthday anniversary. Delightful music was rendered by Mrs. George C. Steele and Miss Emina Mutchler, while recitations by Mrs Ben Elzey and Mrs. I. Kalver contributed to the entertainment. A tempting luncheon was a pleasing feature, the hostess being assisted in serving by her daughters, the Misses Rose, Emma and Dora Schlickman. The proceeds of the social were contributed to the building fund of the German Reformed church. Mrs. Henry Peters of Fourth street, who leaves this month for her new home at Fort Wayne, was the guest of honor at a rusprise given for her by her neighbors of the west part of the city where they resided before moving to their temporary home on Fourth street. They presented her with two beautiful dishes, together with their esteem and good wishes, and spent the evening in a pleasant social way. Miss Gladys Runyon of St. Louis was the honored guest at a picnic given at Maple Grove park today by the girls of the U.

Kern Has Gone to Bay View. MicFi., For a Several Weeks' Rest. FIGHT IS THE WORD All the Party Leaders Getting Ready For a Strenuous Campaign. DEMOCRAIC NEWS BUREAU. 32S Pythian Building. Indianapolis, Ind.. July 21—(Special to Daily Democrat) —John W. Kern, democratic nominee for United States senator, has gone to Bay View, Mich., for a rest of several weeks and promises to come back in fighting trim. “I’m gaing to take a good rest,” said Mr. Kern on the day of his departure, "and I’m coming basic full or fight.” Mr. Kern does not expect to escape politics entirely during his vacation, nor does he wish to. He will keep posted on the political situation and be ready to plunge into the campaign immediately upon his return. With the departure of Mr. Kern, two conspicuous figures in the campaign are now absent from Indiana, both bent upon the same ends. Senator Beveridge is in New Hampshire, seeking rest and recreation and incidentally, or primarily, planning the overthrow of the Indiana standpatters. Mr. Kern will find his rest and recreation nearer home and will outline his campaign while he is in Michigan. “Fight” seems to be tne spirit of the day. and the confidence which all democrats feel in the successful outcome of Dueled ion is not bringing to them a ! sense of false security. This heed for action is voiced by Mr. Kern. He expects to come back and “fight." Governor Marshall believes success is assured if the democrats are aggressive and never let up. U. S. Jackson, democratic state chairman, says ‘ fight.’’ Champ Clark, minority leader of the house of representatives, says "fight,” and adds. “as never before." That is his message to the democrats of Indiana and all other states. "The fight for a democratic house which will prove the forerunner of a democratic president is now on.” says Mr. Clark. We ought to win. I believe we will win. But we must fight if we would win. The republicans are so split up that some folks seem to think that all we have to do is to stand still and see the salvation of the Lord. Such ovei-confidence may cost us dearly. The sure way to win is to fight today, tomorrow and every day until the polls close on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. 'Tis true the republicans are badly scared, bui we should remember that sometimes men fight most viciously when scared the worst and so it may be so with them. The signs of the times indicate that the people whom the republicans have betrayed. have made up their minds t»> cast them out into outer darkness, wh"re there is weeping and wailing, and gnashing of teeth, and much profane swearing.” Chairman Jackson indorses this view of the situation. He believes that the battle is won, but that the democrats must keep it won until the votes are in the ballot boxes. He Is urging the necessity of continued activity In his travels around the state and is cautioning the various county and district organizations not to let up for one minute. o — CLIFF LADELLE AT THE STAR. Cliff LaDelle is the' attraction at the Star Airdome on Friday evening, and this will be one of the best entertainments ever presented. The engagement last Friday evening was spoiled by the rain, and so this repetition, but it will be no repetition of the performance to be given. Every turn will be a new one, and will have to be seen at the Star on Friday evening to be appreciated.
