INCREASES THE COST OF LIVING Senator Shively, in an interview in the Indianapolis News, shows clearly how the Payne-Atdricn tariff law, made in pursuance of the republican national platform, increases the cost of living to the many while allowing exhorbitant profits to the favored few. He says: "The Payne-Aldrich tariff law is no worse than the republican national platform declaration on the tariff question. In fact, it is better than the platform. The formula laid down in the platform for the preparation of a tariff laws says the law should be based on the difference in the cost of production at home and abroad, to which should be added a reasonable profit to the home producer. This means absolute prohibition of imports, because the home manufacturer is to get the advantage of that reasonable profit as against the foreign manufacturer who would compete with him. The two manufacturers are placed on a level before the reasonable profit is added, and this makes it absolutely impossible for the foreign manufacturer to compete in the American market. The result Is that the American manufacturer who receives the benefits of this system runs up the price of his goods and the consumer has to pay high prices for what he buys.” George B. Cox, republican boss of

Ohio, makes affidavit that Senator i Burton, another republican boss, is a liar, and hypocrite, or words to that effect Cox also swears that Burton also said to him that Nick Longworth came from a snobbish family and was a snob himself. Other affidavits from other republican leaders about each other are yet to follow. So it seems that the Ohio brand of harmony is much the same at that in use among Indiana republicans. HAVE TO EXPLAIN Sefrit Charged Beveridge With Insincerity to the Tariff Law. VOTED FOR IT Had It Been Necessary He Woul Have Voted Different on Final Passage. d. ■ b DEMOCRATIC NEWS BUREAU. 325 Pythian Building. Indianapolis, ind., August 3—(Special to Daily Democrat) —One of the things Charles G. Sefrit will have to explain at a republican pow-wow in this city next Friday, is his charge that Senator Beveridge is a hypocrite. Sefrit made this charge in the editorial columns of his newspaper, the Washington Herald, and by the republicans it is regarded as the worst break of the campaign. Sefrit is recognized as an able writer and his newspaper is looked to for guidance by the other republican papers of Indiana. For this reason his utterance carried unusual weight. Further significance is attached to the charge, however, by reason of Sefrit's position as a member of the state executive committee of the republican party in Indiana. This committee is the most important one in the state organization and the fact that a member of it has announced to the world bis belief in Beveridge’s insincerity is regarded as a vital and irreparable blunder. Sefrit fell into this deep water while attempting to defend Beveridge against the “regular” republicans and their dislike for Beveridge’s attitude on the tariff. He said that if Senator Beveridge's vote had been necessary to pass the tariff bill he would have voted for IL This announcement failed of its purpose. The “regular” republicans do not believe it and those who have been inclined to believe in Beveridge have found their confidence misplaced. Sefrit has been in Indianapolis this week conferring with State Chairman Lee and it is understood that Sefrit’s attack on Beveridge was one of the subjects discussed. This is held to be certain for Chairman Lee is said to be unable to talk politics to one of his own party tor five minutes without flying off on the subject of the Sefrit charges. The announcement of Friday's meeting, which followed this conference is regarded as significant. It is understood that Sefrit will be asked to explain just why he did it. This will be highly embarassing to Mr. Sefrit. He is not the sort of a man who takes kindly to being compelled to do things. Coming from him as a member of the executive committee, the charge against Beveridge carries official weight. Senator Beveridge controls the state committee and will, of course, not be content with any halfway explanation of Sefrit's charges. There is intense interest in.this affair all over Indiana. Sefrit’s charges strike at the heart of Senator Beveridge. Insincerity is the one thing the voters cannot forgive. The Sullivan Times takes up the affair as follows: “One of the most severe blows received by Senator Beveridge in his campaign for re-election, has been given him by one of his best friends and most ardent supporters. In an attempt to pacify the conservative element of the party, the Washington Herald, so ably edited by Cahrles G. Sefrit, who in addition to being a brilliant and forceful writer on political subjects, is an astute and far-seeing politician, asserts that had Senator Beveridge occupied the position of President Taft he would have signed the Payne-Aldrich bill and if the vote of Senator Beveridge would have defeated the bill that the senator would not have voted against It. “The question of whether the schedule* of the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill are high or low, are the fulfillment of the republican promise* or otherwise, drop into »ignift<auace beside the questiot. Is Senator Beveridge a hypocrite and demagogue’” — 0 J. P PetitHot of Columbus, Jud, stopped off here today on bi* way to Fort Wayjue.

HERE LAST EVENING Tonight They Will Present “Bar Z Ranch”—Show is Popular One. The Guy Stock Company presented "St. Elmo” Tuesday evening to a tent which was again packed to the entrance. There is no denying the fact that the Guy Stock company are favorites in Decatur. They please everyone, rich and poor, and each performance is ail that is claimed for it. The members of the company are per ladies and gentlemen and they have many friends here who welcome their return each season. Tonight they will present “Bar Z Ranch,” a western drama that is sure to please, being one of the strongest plays of the entire week. The band concert, held each evening in front of the tent, pleases all who attend, the musical organization being one of the best ever heard here.

If it be true that every laugh makes a man a day younger—and no good argument to the contrary has yet been presented—it will be easy for any one to live a year longer at a very nominal expense. Think of it! —365 days of renewed youth for the price of a circus ticket! Who could withstand such a bargain? When the small boy persuades his father to take him te see the big show the youngster does not know that he is giving to bis parent a new lease of life. It may be said that there are not two persons on this earth’s surface who will equally eajoy a given funny action or a witty speech. One man will not see the point to a story that to another appears the most laughable thing imaginable. An incident that in action almost convulses the onlooker with laughter will not appeal at all to the third party to whom the incident is recited. But let 10,000 people witness at the same time 1,000 funny actions and queer antics and it will be impossible to find one individual in the entire aggregation of spectators whose ribs have not been tickled with laughter and whose sense of humor has not been excited. The Hagenbeck-Wallace Shows, which appear here Wednesday, August 10th, carry on their list of entertainers a troupe of laughter-making stars —a collection of artists whose whole existence is devoted to the task of provoking laughter. If there are people in this world who do not want to laugh let them be warned that they are courting disappointment in this direction If they visit the HagenbecsWallace Shows. They will be compelled to laugh—not once, but a hundred times, for the laughter-making kings who travel with these *bow* have sworn an oath that no one will escape them. Why not laugh and live an extra year. The expense is nominal, the entertainment is exciting and the time devoted to the enjoyment is well spent You awaken the next day with added vigor ready to resume the problem of life with lighter heart, eager to confront the difficulties and overcome them. For the man who laughs all life 1* a Jhoke —when seen in the proper light—taken from the philosophers po»t .of >'W»'
