Entered at the postoffice at Decatur, Indiana, as second-class mail matter It is all very well for the government to announce that it will seek to dissolve the sugar trust, but in the light of past performances at trustbusting by the lawyers attached to the legal department of the national government, the general public will be wise to restrain any bubbling manifestation of glee until the thing is over and the sugar combine is really disintegrated. Results in previous attempts along similar lines have not been fraught with results either permanent or beneficial to the man who is wrestling with the problem of the high cost of living.—Fort Wayne Sentinel. J The democrats of Indiana have been unusually active up to this time and have completed one of the best organizations ever had by the Indiana democrats. District and county meetings have been held in every county and the enthusiasm at these meetings 4 is a true index of thd complete harmony of the party and its leaders. The democrats are embued every place with the fact that they are going to win an overwhelming victory and this has made their organization work both easy and pleasant An organization meeting in Fort Wayne Saturday with five hundred sturdy democrats present but shows the interest being manifested all over the state. The Fort Wayne meeting has been duplicated in nearly every county in the state, and in all the Indiana democrats are in a good position to take every advantage that comes in the game of politics. T. R. Roosevelt, once president of the United States, American embassador to King Edward’s funeral, animal hunter and bearer of numerous other honors, but who has been engaged in ward politics for a month or two in his efforts to control the New York state convention, has veered off on another track. After denouncing Taft around the circle, he has suddenly discovered that he needs him. At a meeting Monday Teddy offered a truce until after the November election, and it was accepted in a so-so manner. It seems to be a quarrel as to which will take the nomination in 1912, and it is not a Gaston-Alphonse affair either. Perhaps after they read the papers of the morning of November 9th, neither gent will be so anxious about the old nomination. The republican party has been mighty, has grown to huge proportions, but it’s not so big that the men who formed it can fight and abuse each other until a month before an election, then call it off temporarily—and win.

SOCIETY DOINGS Happy Reunion Enjoyed on Sunday by the G. W. Standiford Family. A DINNER PARTY Given by Mr. and Mrs. Robert Case —Y. P. A. at Fred Hoffman Home. I am a part of all that I have met. Yet all experience is an arch wherethro’ Gleams that untravl'd world whose margin fades Forever and forever when I move; How dull it is to pause, to make an end, To rust unburnished and not to shine in use! As tho’ to breathe were life. —Tennyson. CLUB CALENDAR FOR WEEK. Tuesday. Y. P. A. —Fred Hoffman home. Historical —Mrs. Jesse Sutton. Wednesday. Shakespeare—Mrs. Emma Daniels. Thursday. Baptist Aid —Mrs. David Stoler. A very pleasant social gathering was held at Maple Grove farm, at the home of C. A. Standiford. six and onehalf miles east of Decatur Saturday, when Mr. G. W. Standiford and children and grandchildren gathered for a little reunion. The day was a very beautiful one for the occasion, and a bounteous dinner was served fit noon, which consisted of all the good things in season, with friend chicken and cake in abundance. After the dinner hour was over the afternoon was pleasantly spent in speaking and singing, with Artie Jackson acting as organist. Five of the six children were present and later in the day organized for a reunion to be held next year. The organization is as follows. President, F. M. Standiford; secretary-treasurer, Mrs. E. W. Jackson; committee on program and arrangements. C. A. Standiford. Mrs. Leonard Fisher and Artie Jackson. Those present were G. W. Standiford and wife, and F. M. Standiford and family of Wren, Ohio; C. A. Standiford and family, E. W. Jackson and family, Vernon Shifferly and wife, Mrs. Otis Shifferly and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Shifferly of Decatur; Leonard Fowler and family of Ohio City, W. L. Standiford and wife, Mrs. Walter Koos and son. and Mrs. Lena Anderson of Fort Wayne, numbering forty-two in all The annual reunion of the Kunkil and Kleinknight families at Tocsin Saturday was attended by a goodsized gathering, but not as many as had been expected, and this was felt to be due in large measure to the lateness of the season and the fact that the reunion coming on Saturday made it impossible for many to attend. For that reason it was voted that next year the reunion will will be held the first Thursday in August, which will make it more than a month earlier and will make it a day of the week probably convenient to the majority of the family. The program Saturday was carried out as previously published and the affair was a very enjoyable event in every way. There was a splendid and bounteous dinner spread at the noon hour. The reunion association for the ensuing year was perfected by the election of officers as follows: Charles Kunkel, president;

John Heckley, vice-president; William Kleinknight, treasurer, and N. J. Kleinknight, secretary. The reunion next year will be held at the same place, in the grove at Tocsin. —Bluffton News.

As this is the first meeting in several weeks, it is earnestly desired that there be a large representation of the membership and their friends present, Mr. and Mrs. Krause of Indianapolis, Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Mosiman and daughter.

NEXT ATTRACTION “A Royal Slave” Will Appear at the Opera House Tomprrow Night. IT IS A GREAT SHOW Has Appeared Here Before and is Known as One of the Very Best. “A Royal Slave,” which appears at the opera house tomorrow evening, is one of the very best shows ever witnessed in this city. It has appeared here twice previous and all who have witnessed it declare it a splendid show. You should not fail to see it tomorrow evening, as this is the last tour of the company in ttyis play. It is one of the most elaborate and beautifully melodramatic productions on the road. The scenery is the finest that the studios can furnish and is painted from photographs made in Mexico. The costumes and stage accessories are very rich and the powerful and thrilling dramatic situations make the play a series of beautiful stage pictures. Though it is a melodrama of the sensational sort, there is not a shot fired during the entire play, and it is possessed of real literary and dramatic merit of a high or- ' der. This great production represents more than a half year's work by an able corps of scenic artists and skilled mechanics, and will give our people a chance to see, no onsly the beautiful scenic equipment, but decidedly the most original play on the stage of this country. It is something to be able to say that at least we can herald the coming of a new play, full of new ideas, situations and startling effects. Such is true, however, of the forthcoming production of "A Royal Slave," which is put on in a most artistic manner complete in every detail. Mr. Clarence Bennett has always brought us the finest attractions and he assures us this is the best. At the Bosse opera house, Wednesday night, September 21st. o — — SHAKE-UP IN NEW YORK POLICE. (United Press Service.) New York, N. Y., Sept. 20—(Sepcial to Daily Democrat) —Indications are that there is to be a new head of the New York police department and a shake-up in the organization, as a result of Acting Mayor Mitchell's gambling investigation, loomed large today. The official scalp of Police Commissioner Baker is said to be quite loose, or may be lifted entirely, following the grand jury investigation of the graft on gambling cases, which District Attorney Whitman is to present.

MR. McCABE TALKS Distinguished Democrat and Citizen Expresses His Opinion. ON THE CAMPAIGN Says Broken Promises Are the Cause of the Republican Disruption. L - . li - DEMOCRATIC NEWS BUREAU. 325 Pythian Building. Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 23 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —One of Indiana's venerable and distinguished democrats who was a recent caller at state headquarters, is confident that a democratic house of representatives will sit in Washington next year. “Everything points that way,” said Judge McCabe, “and I believe I will be spared to see the democrats sweep the country. "Why, I see chat even Jim Watson believes the next house will be democratic. That’s the way most everyone feels. There is nothing so demoralizing to a party as a broken promise. Prior to the last national election affairs had reached such a state that even the republicans admitted that the tariff was too high. They agreed with the democrats on this. And they went before the people with a promise that if the republicans carried the election the tariff would be reduced. Tri Jbe /ace of this promise they deliberately turned around and legislated contrary to their promise. “They have broken faith with- the people and I believe the voters have made up their minds to turn them out of power. Why, I believe that in my own district Congressman Crumpacker will be defeated. He has not kept his promises individually, just as the republican party, as a party, has not kept its promises—and I believe he will pay for it as will the party. “It’s not such a wild theory after all, to believe that the next house will be democratic. It is no wilder than to have believed that the Fourteenth congressional district of Massachusetts would go democratic as it did. Why shouldn’t Massachusetts go democratic. too?

"New York state, in which a special election has been held in one district, has also Illustrated the tide of opinion that is setting toward the democrats. Hundreds and thousands of republicans who are convinced that the republican party is not, living up to its promises Intend to vote the democratic ticket. “This is what happened to Maine. Mr. Dingley, a brother to the autthor of the Dingley tariff bill, is the publisher of the Lewiston (Me.) Journal, a republican newspaper. He says that the greatest factor in the defeat of the republican ticket in Maine was the broken promises of the republican party. Thousands, of republicans there voted the democratic ticket, but they had made up their minds that the time had come when the only way to teach the party a lesson was to turn it out of power. "From Maine to California this is the situation. A broken promise is not a lovely thing in the minds of the American people and in this case it was so flagrant that a stern rebuke is certain.” o — THEY ARE STILL HERE. ~ I Dorcas Daughters of Reformed Church to Conduct Public Sale.
