Entered at the poetoffice at Decatur, Indiana, as second-claae mail matter. Come out and near Hon. John W. Kern tomorrow night. Ask him any old question you want to. His receptions over this part of the state is a surprise to every one. He is malting the best campaign speech being made by any of the speakers, so do not miss the best one of the campaign. Hon. Otis E. Gulley, republican candidate for secretary of state, was a Decatur visitor yesterday and last evening spoke in the court room. Mr. Gulley is one of the young and progressive leaders of the state, clean of character, capable of filling any place of honor or trust, and while we are not “fer" him. yet it is a pleasure and a privilege to testify to his worth and ability. The republican ,explanation of the high cost of living, saying that the common people are indulging in luxuries and that this is the reason, they are compelled to pay more to live. The average man or woman will not appreciate this explanation, because it fails in explaining, and besides it is not true. Everything is higher and it is a hard pob to finance the wants of a family on the average wage now being paid. If some of those republican speakers would try it, they would change the tenor of their speeches. The republican press of the state is ail cut up over the audaciousness of the democrats in attempting to get a part of the soldier vote. This press is just now busily engaged in waving the reg flag and fighting the battles of that terrible conflict. The republican party-has great love and admiration for the soldiers but it usually lasts only during campaign times. It is just as Rev. I. P. Watt said at the republican convention at Bluffton a short time ago, "the republicans have

no use for the soldiers, only as a voting asset." .Like a lot of other voters, the old soldiers have gotten wise to the political game as played by the leaders of the republican party in this state. In making his first formal speech of the campaign Senator Shively dis- . claimed any intention of making a keynote speech. He said that every i man who has to support a family and, i pay the prevailing high prices needs ■ no one to sound a keynote for him, for he has a keynote of his own that is ■ "pathetic in its eloquence.” Nothing ' is truer. The cost of living is a burn- : Ing question in millions of homes. Somewhere between the producer and consumer, working under the prqtec- ’ tion of republican laws and policies, 1 there is a combination to pick the 1 pockets of both and it has been suc- ’ cessful. That combination must be 1 broken up.

WHAT HE THOUGHT. “I’ve been so long by woman bossed I feel,” poor Henpeck said, “ ’Tis better to have loved and lost Than to have loved and wed.' —Ex. “Picnic parties and showers” are not associated as an agreeable combination in old nature, but in the social realm, paradoxical as it may seem they are very much so. Especially happy was that given Thursday evening by the telephone girls at the home of one of their number. Miss Agnes Dutcher, in -compliment to Miss Fanny Robinson, whose marriage to Mr. Forest Elzey will take place next Wednesday. As old nature had decided to cut out the shower business and made the evening weather very pleasant, the girls decided to carry on the “shower” further and rained upon Miss Fanny their very best wishes, and what was more substantial, a set of exquisite table linen and silver pie and fruit forks. After a happy social mingling, to cap the climax of the evening, they all sat down at 9 o'clock to a picnic supper spread on the table in the dining room, bearing the following tempting viands: Fried Chicken Sweet Potatoes Scalloped Corn Gravy Potato Salad Potato Chips Pickles Fruit Salad Devil’s Food Cake Coffee Iced Tea The party included Fanny Robin?on, Pansy BalL Agnes and Ada Murray, Margaret Daniels, Mary Stultz, Esther Heckman? Vera Hammond, Frank Rademacker, Gusta Cramer, Inez Coverdale. Kittle Fought, Jessie Shrank, Pearl Purdy and Agnes Dutcher. . “Fifty members by the first of the year,” is the slogan -of the Christian Woman's Board of Missions adopted by the society Thursday afternoon at the meeting held at the home of Mrs. A. D. Artman and each member pledged herself to that end. The program was carried out as heretofore announced, quite a large number attending. J. M. Dawson, the new pastor ' of the Christian church, was received as a member of the society. Guests other than members in attendance Thursday were Mrs. C. J. Weaver and Mrs. H. Schultz. While the rain detracted somewhat from the attendance of the Baptist > Ladles’ Aid at the home of Mrs. John Moser on Rugg street Thursday, a goodly number braved the storm and were well repaid for so doing, as the meeting proved to be an unusually good one. Little business, however, I was transacted, the ladies giving | themselves up to social enjoyment. | the hostess serving tempting refreshments. A happy family dinner party of yesterday was that given for Mrs. ThomFisher In celebration of her sixty-

fourth birth anniversary. Those who shared the day's pleasure with her and enjoyed the royally good dinner were Jacob Eady and family, Mrs. Sarah Fisher, Mrs. Catherine Eady and grandson, Harold; Mrs. Roxy Syphers, Martin Stalter and family of Peterson and Mrs. L. L. Syphers of Fort Wayne. Twenty of the young friends of Miss Florence Cowan gave a birthday surprise for her Thursday evening at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Millard Cowan, on Winchester street, the occasion being her fourteenth birth anniversary. All the happy games of the social realm, Including a mock wedding, were in order and the evening was a delightful one. Tempting refreshments were served, the Misses Margaret Gallogly and Osie Cowan assisting in the serving. Miss Tillie Meibers proved an admirable hostess Thursday evening when she entertained the clerks of the Fullenkamp store at her home on Monroe street. Fudge-making and general social amusements passed the hours delightfully. The party included the Misses Ode and Letta Fullenkamp, Amelia Weber and Lydia Miller. Miss Florine Edwards was hostess to the Flohrul de Purin club members Thursday evening, the girls bringing their sewing which occupied their time, after which there was a bird contest, a string story telling contest and a number of other amusements, closing with refreshments. Mr. and Mrs. William Ramey, sr., of Hammond, who have been visiting here with their son. W. Ramey, and family, have gone to Baltimore. Ohio, to attend a family reunion of the Steele's, Mrs. Ramey being a member of that family. IN MEMORIAM. Decatur, Ind., Oct. 5, 1910. To the Officers and Comrades of Sam Henry Post, No. 63, G. A.

AFTER BEVERIDGE Organized Labor Does Not Like the Company He Keeps. THEY SPEAK OUT His Financial Manager is an Employer of Non-Union Men. DEMOCRATIC NEWS BUREAU, 325 Pythian Building. Indianapolis, Ind., Oct. 7 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —Some of the representatives of organized labor who have ben somewhat inclined to support Senator Beveridge are now in open revolt. They have discovered that Alfred M. Glossbrenner, vice president of Levey Brothers & Company, is running the financial end of the Beveridge campaign. If there is one business institution in Indiana which is cordially hated by organized labor it is Levey Brothers & Company. This company conducts a big and profitable printing, stationery and lithographing business, but its "shop" is absolutely closed to union labor. Every trade represented within its walls is composed of non-union men. They will not employ union men in any department. Since it is one of the biggest institutions of its kind in Indana, it is and has been for years, the object of organized labor's hatred. The name of Levey Brothers is like a red flag in the face of a bull. Alfred M. Glossbrenner is one of the big men in the Levey Brothers’ Company. As vice president he takes an active part in the management of the business. The company’s attitude toward organized labor is taken, therefore, to reflect his views. The Beveridge state committee has not been blowing any horns about Mr. Glossbrenner's connection with it. It is a fact, however, that he is a member of the finance committee and is virtually chairman of it. He is the man who signs the letters which are being sent out urging contributions from business interests. He is the man who is beating the bushes to gather the money to help elect Beveridge to the United States senate. He is Senator Beveridge’s warm personal friend and his counsel is always sought in affairs of great moment. His support and activity in behalf of Senator Beveridge is a blow to the laboring man who has been favorable to Senator Beveridge. They do not understand how the senator can have their interests deeply in his heart and at the same time turn over his entire financial management of his campaign to a man who represents the institution most hatred of all in Indiana by organized labor. Said one of these labor leaders: “They keep pretty quiet about Glossbrenner’s connection with the state committee. I began to hear of iiis connection and made a little investigation of my own. I was told that he was a member of the finance committee but that he was not very active. I learned, however, that he was active and that, in fact, he was the man behind the gun in the financial end of the campaign. “That settled it for me. If Senator Beveridge can warm up to an enemy or organized laboi’ of the stripe of Glossbrenner, I can’t trust the senator. That’s all there is to it. If the senator accepts Glossbrenner’s advice on one subject, he will take it on another—and some day that other will be organized labor. “Any workingman who would have even the remotest connection with the Levey shop is not worthy of membership in a labor union. I regard any affiliation with the republican party at this time as a very definite connection with the principles which govern rhe Levy shop. I cannot work at any time in sympathy with Mr. Glossbrenner and Ido not propose to do so. Ido not believe that any other good member of organized labor will announce himself as in sympathy with any views of Mr. Glossbrenner. He is for Senator Beveridge and is entrusted with the most important part of the campaign —the money. I suppose he is going to his non-union friends to get it. No more of it for me.” This view is entertained by many others and the word is being sent out through the circles of organized labor. Indianapolis, Ind., Oct. 7 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —Senator Beveridge and Frank J. Kirby, jr., president of the National Association of Manufacturers, have sent telegrams to General Harrison Gray Otis at Los Angeles, California, expressing their sympathy in his misfortune. The building, owned and occupied by the Los

Angeles Times, which for years has fought organized labor under General Otis, was destroyed by a dynamite explosion. The authorities at Los Angeles say the explosion was the outgrowth of General Otis’ controversy with organized labor. —o OBITUARY. Truman Merle Cowan, son of James and Sarah Cowan, was born in St. Mary’s township, Adams county, Indiana, March 22, 1889. He grew to manhood at the parental home, where he was born. He was an obedient son, a loving brother, and was always aiming to make the home pleasant. When health permitted he was always found taking an active part in the Sunday school work among his classmates, he being of a class of 1906 of the Calvary Evangelical church. He was of a modest disposition, but always ready to give good advice to his tellow companions. Having a desire to enter the mercantile business, on April 30, 1910, he, with his brother-in-law, John Gephart, went into business at Garrett, Ind., under the firm name of Cowan & Gephart, the business being successful from a financial standpoint, but on June 30th he was compelled to return home on account of failing health. During these months of suffering he was never heard to complain, always trusting in the promises of his divine Master, being fully reconciled to his will. He departed this life September 28, 1901, aged 21 years, 6 months and 6 days. He leaves to mourn his early departure father, mother and five sisters: Mrs. Mamie Gephart of Garrett, Mrs. Stella Townsend of Tillman’s Crossing, Miss Edith Alexander of near Rivarre, Mrs. Grace Moser of near Pleasant Mills, and Miss Pearl, at home. One brother and one sister preceded him in death. The home has lost an obedient and, loving son and brother, the community a noble and kind-hearted young man. I know thou art gone to the land of thy rest; Then why should my soul be so sad? * I know thou are gone where the weary are blest, And the mourners look up and are glad; Where love has put off in the land of Its birth. The stain it had gathered in this, And Hope, the sweet singer that gladdens the earth, Lies asleep in the bosom of bliss. And though like a mourner that sits by the tomb, I am wrapped in a mantle of care; Yet the grief of my bosom, Oh! call it "not gloom, Is not the black gloom of despair. By sorrow revealed, as the stars are by night, Far of! a bright vision appears; And hope, like a rainbow, a creature of light Is bourne, like the rainbow, in tears. The funeral service was held from the Methodist Episcopal church in Rlvarre, Ind., Rev. E. R. Roop of the Calvary Evangelical church officiating. o — Democrat Want Ad? T ' < iy.
