What’s SIB,OOO anyway to a prosperity, high-protection administration? Tncle Joe Cannon said recently that "Beveridge would make an ideal peacock with just the addition of a few feathers.” Which doubtless, will not commend Tncle Joseph to the peacock constituency. The Chicago Record-Herald says that Lloyd C. Griscom appears to have usurped the place formerly occupied by William Dudley Foulke. But as Foulke just now has the Beveridge campaign to look after and must keep both eyes on Watson, Hemenway, Fairbanks, Durbin, and other regulars, he will not mind. Writing from Indianapolis to his paper the Indiana correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer says: “It is admitted that there never has been such a variety of views regarding the situation from a republican standpoint. Never before has there been as much talk of factional disturbances and local troubles.” The admission, be it understood, Is made by republicans themselves. But it contains nothing new. The tact has been known many months. John Hays Hammond, president of the National League of republican Clubs and a friend of the president of the United States, is charged with being fhterested in a scheme to sell the government some kind of newly mounted gun at the modest little price of $20,000,000— twenty-five millions, count ’em. The disinterested (?) patriotism which characterizes some of these "higher up” republican politicians is the marvel of the new century. PYTHIAN SISTERS’ NOTICE. Mrs. Elizabeth Sellemeyer. most excellent chief of the Pythian sisters, wishes to call attention to the fact that the lodge will open this evening end henceforth at 7:30 o’clock, instead of at 8 o'clock, as is usual during the summer months.

Miss Ola Marschand was the victim of a happy surprise party, the event being planned by Mr. and Mrs. Lon Schaeffer at their home near Germantown, Ohio. It was the lady’s twentieth birthday and the celebration was a most enjoyable one for the guests, who included Mr. and Mrs. George Eister and family, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Stettler and family, Mr. and Mrs. Will Stettler and family, Mr. and Mrs. Dennis Brandyberry and family, Mr. and Mrs. George Philabaum and family, Mr. and Mrs. O.

The dinner was most 4611010118 and was served at 12 o’clock, which was of course enjoyed to the utmost, and Miss Marschand received some nice presents. She will leave Monday for her home at Decatur, Ind. All remained until a late hour, all wishing her many more

such happy events, and a safe journey home, all of which will be long remembered. Miss Marschand requests us to thank all in attendance for their assistance in the entertainment and celebration of the event. She has many friends who regretted to see her leave for her home after a three months’ visit. Mr. and Mrs. J. McFeeley and children, Thelma and Paul, of Fort Wayne were entertained over Sunday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Adolph Hoffman and Mr. and Mrs. James Bain. The Misses Goldie Biggs and Irene Garard very pleasantly entertained at the home of the former, a number of games and contests, including a flower contest, that was most interesting, music and a delicious luncheon contributing to the delights of a happy evening much enjoyed by the following present: Mamie Harting, Anna Meyers, Edith Miller, Tillie Snyder, Laura Hower of this city; Beatrice Oliver of Huntington; Maud Stout, Fort Wayne; Stella Crawford. Lima, Ohio; Flora 'Romer, St. Henrj. Ohio; Lawrence Biggs, Veigh Chronister, James Meyers, Orval France, Dean Zeaser, Don Burke, John Lose, Purman Hebble, Roll Brodbeck, Oscar Colchin, Frank Corvelle of Hoagland. A. D. Artman, Henry Gentis, Abe Stucky and Louis Mailand spent yesterday at the home of C. C. Mailand, north of the city, where in the words of one of the members of the party they "ate chicken and enjoyed an allaround general good time” —one of the best of their lives. Roy Smith of Phoenix, Arizona, was a guest over Sunday of his great uncle, Henry Gunsett, and family. Mr. Smith is enjoying a vacation, which has included a very delightful trip from the grand Colorado canyon of the west to Niagara Falls of the east, with many intermediante points of interest. Mr. Smith has also been visiting with relatives in Van Wert, Ohio, his cousin, Donald Smith, from that place accompanying him here. Never was there a jollier class reunion of any kind than that of the class of 1908 of the Decatur high school, which, with the absence of but one member —Miss Marguerite Walters, of Delaware, Ohio —was held Saturday at the home of Miss Helen Evans in Root township.' The greater number of the members went out during the morning in carriages, Miss Frances Bryson of Portland arriving on the afternoon car enroute home from Detroit, where she had been visiting. A contest in which questions were to be answered with words either beginning or ending in “pen,” and another in which questions were to be answered with the names of berries, were very interesting. Miss Pansy Bell was awarded the prize, a fine pen, in the first, while in the second, it yas necessary to draws cuts for the prize, which was drawn by Miss Frances Dugan. Conversation, reviewing the events of the past two years since their graduation, filled in the happy interstices. At noon a picnic dinner, including chicken and the many delicious things that accompany a chicken dinner, were spread. Those forming the party were Miss Rose Dunathan, the Latin teacher of the class; Florence Kunkle, Fannie McConnell, Fanchon Magley, Lucile Gillig, Pansy Bell, Etta Brandyberry, Clara Boknecht, Frances Dugan, Will Hammell. Harry Weldy, William Conlad ,of Elwood; Frances Bryson, Portland; Helen Evans. The Aid society of the Christian church will meet at the church Friday afternoon and a large attendance is desired. Mrs. Charles Getting of St. John's was given a surprise Saturday evening for her thirty-fourth birthday anniversary. While she was away from home in the evening a large number of friends and relatives gathered and gave her a great greeting on her return at 8 o’clock. Games of all kinds were played and at 12 o’clock there was a three-course luncheon. She was the recipient of a number of useful and beautiful presents, as well as good wishes. The following were present: Mr. and Mrs. George Schroeder, Fred, Ed and Herman Bultemeler and families, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Getting, Theodore and William Scheumann and families, Mr. and Mrs. Herman Messman of Woodburn; Mr. and Mrs. Charles Buuck of Hoagland; Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Nahrwold of Fort Wayne; Lydia Getting, Clara Bultemeler of this city; Henry Getting and Carl Becker.

Coverdale of Marlon, Ark,, and Mrs ] Miles Pillars of Jonesboro, Ark., who i are visiting at their old homes here, 1 to meet their Decatur friends.

IS COLD COMFORT Not a Single District in Indiana Endorses Senator Beveridge, • SENATOR IS ALONE In Kicking Stomach Off of the Payne-Aldrich Tariff Law, DEMOCRATIC NEWS BUREAU. 325 Pythian Building. Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. s—(Special to Daily Democrat)—lf Senator Beveridge has looked the situation fairly and squarely In the face since his recent return from a summer in New Hampshire, he must admit to himself that Indiana has failed by a thousand miles to follow the lead which he set in the republican state convention early last spring. It is a matter of fact that not one single district has affirmed the radical utterances of the state platform which were inspired by Senator Beveridge. The district conventions of th< republicans are practically completed, and in not one of them have there been adopted resolutions along the lines laid down by the state convention. Taking the state district by district, Indiana is not in Senator Beveridge’s class as an "insurgent.” It is a remarkable situation that Senator Beveridge has come home to face. The state convention is usually held early in the year, so that it may set the pace for the district conventions and by its platform may indicate to them the proper lines to follow. This was done this year. The convention was Senator Beveridge’s own little party just as much as if he had sent out the invitations for an informal meeting in his home. He controlled it absolutely. His convention speech was radical from first to last, rfind he flayed the real republicans and the Payne tariff. It was after this speech that he telegraphed to friends in Washington that he had "kicked the stomach off the Payne bill.” Then the senator hurried out to New Hampshire, where he has remained ever since. In his absence every district in the state, with the exception of the Third and Fourth, which are hopelessly democratic, has held its convention and adopted resolutions. But there have been no more republican feet planted in the stomach of the tariff bill. The only imprint thereon is that of a senatorial boot and it stands out lonesome and conspicuous as far as Indiana is concerned. The Seventh and Eleventh congressional districts have always been regarded as peculiarly Beveridge districts. What’s the matter with them? The Eleventh is for the tariff which Senator Beveridge derided with his boot—and the Seventh has not had the courage to declare itself. The Seventh is in an embarassing position. It is the alleged home of Senator Beveridge and the only explanation that can be offered for its silence is that its voice, should it speak, would be raised against the senator. Linton A. Cox of Indianapolis is the congressional nominee. He has never indicated his personal views. There is nothing but silence —of the kind that is more painful than words. In other districts there have been good hard fights over the resolutions, but the tariff, either directly or indirectly, was always indorsed. On the other hand the words of praise ac-. corded Senator Beveridge were carefully framed and never, in a single casj, have they referred to his votes on the tariff. He has been indorsed as a “splendid and eloquent speaker,” and in many other meaningless phrases, while there have been ringing econiums of President Taft —who said the Payne tariff was the “best e v er.” A perusal of the resolutions adopted, district by district, will be an interesting pastime for Senator Beveridge. He will gain only cold comfort from the crumbs offered him there and his starved soul will groan at the nice things that have been said about everyone and anything else. It revolves itself into this: The tariff has been praised in every dis* trict convention and there has not been a sylable of praise for Senator Beveridge as an “insurgent.” This is what Senator Beveridge found last week when he came "home.” And from this situation he drew, in some manner known only to himself and his "cabinet,” the strength to repeat a former declaration that Indiana will go republican by 50,000. His friends wonder when. Even the IndianapolN rfews, consciously or unconsciously, gave him u

little food for thought along this line or, the very day he returned. On t ’ that afternoon, in a dispatch from its 1 staff correspondent, James F. Hornaday, dated St. Paul, Minn., there was a startling "omission.” The first paragraph of that dispatch reads as follows: "In this state the republican organization is conservative, and the voters 1 cf the party are progressive. Lacking an aggressive leader, such as LaFollette, is in Wisconson, Bristow, in Kansas, and Cummins and Dolliver, in lowa, the insurgents are rathi er quiescent.” How does it happen that Senator ' Beveridge’is not named among these “aggressive leaders?"
