Mr. Slack is one of the best lawyers of Indiana, a young man with a future, and his discussion of the issues of this campaign will be worth hearing. The "big noise” has visited Indiana, making a streak through the grand old Hoosier land yesterday, stopping some eight or nine times enroute, to tell the people of this locality why the tariff question is any ■liferent here than it is in New York or Kansas.

learn that the voters of Indiana are able to think for themselves. Alton B. Parker, who was a candidate for the presidency in 1904, will speak at Tomlinson Hall, Indianapolis, Saturday night. It will be the only speech he will deliver outside his state this campaign, as he is assigned to every section of his own state during the next three weeks. He will be accorded a great welcome at the Hoosier capital, preparations for which have begun. A "red fire" procession, with plenty of noise, is to be a part of the program. Teddy hadn’t passed half way through Indiana until he admitted that he had won the election for Bevridge. However, there are those who have sufficient doubt about the matter that we had perhaps better hold the election. You see Watson, Cannon, President Taft and others must also be convinced of the matter. Ours is a general assault upon the doctrine of protection in its entirety. We are not bothered about the schedules in the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill, which, according to the president at one time, is the best ever, and at another is not what we wanted, but the best we could get under the circumstances. We are not worried as to who constitute the powers of pillage, nor as to who is at the head of the pillagers. We do not see that good will be accomplished in America by reducing the schedules on one thing and raising them on another, by taking them off of shoes and putting them on stockings. We do not bother about these petty readjustments. We remember that whenever congress, under the guise of raising money, makes an enactment that in reality raises no money, but s:mply makes you and me dig into our pockets and hand over our small coin to the protected manufacturers, it has ceased to be a government of equal rights and fair play. —Governor Marshall.

It is better to prefer honorable defeat to a mean victory, to lowering the level of our aim that we may more certainly enjoy the complacency of success. —John Ruskin. CLUB CALENDAR FOR WEEK. Friday. Queen Esthers —Nellie Nichols. Saturday. Thimble —Mrs. C. C. Shafer. There are many things that do not make the telephone girls’ path one strew of roses, but on the other hand there are enough good things to even matters up—attest: the may parties, showers, weddings, etc., of the past few weeks in which they participated. And now comes an oyster supper, their latest festivity, which was held Thursday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Daniels at Rivarre, Mrs. Daniels having been one of the telephone girls before her marriage, and knowing just how much such festivities are enjoyed. The party went out in three relays—one at noon and another at 7 o’clock in automobiles, and the last at 8:30, with Billy Horse, the telephone pony and “chaise." However far distant they were on their various routes there, there was a happy reunion at the Daniels home, with the oyster supper, steaming, savory- and delicious, with pop corn and candy, music and games to provide an evening’s entertainment, unsurpassed in excellence. On the way they stopped off at the Kit Cowan store at Bobo, where they were royally greeted, treated to bonbons, and given invitation to return some time in the near future to a chicken supper. which they fully intend to do. The party included Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Smith as chaperons. Joe Hunter and the Misses Pearl Purdy, Gusta Cramer, Margaret Daniels, Frances Rademacker, Ada and Agnes Murray, Pansy Ball, Mary Stultz, Esther Heckman, Inez Coverdale and Vera Hammond . Very sudden was the surprise given Rev. E. R. Roop and wife of Willshire. Ohio, when a number of friends broke in upon their domestic happiness, bringing with them the good things necessary in the days of high prices. The table was fairly groaning under the weight of the rich viands, such as can only come from the best place on earth, the farm. We could not begin to do justice were we to tiy to describe our overwhelming joy and appreciation. We can, however, only extend to them our thanks, knowing that the common Father of us will reward them openly, for "inasmuch as ye have done it unto the least of these ye have done it unto me.” We thank all who contributed to the cash gift; also the enterprising merchant of Rivarre, Mr. Kit Cowan, for his donation. Those present were Mesdames James Cowan, Oscar Moser, Wilbur Alexander, Lase Gaunt, Simon Treaster and Miss Pearl Cowan. After the noon repast the guests returned to their homes, leaving the material things which they had brought, but took away with them the joy which comes to all when doing good, which after all is the best of possessions. The ladies of the Aid society of Pleasant Mills spent a very enjoyable day Wednesday at the Methodist parsonage in Bobo. They came with well filled baskets, their thimbles and needles. The result of the day's work was four nice comforters, knotted and bound. Mnsic was furnished by Mrs. Steele and Mrs. Bender. A piano solo was also given by Mrs. Suman. A fine country dinner was served at noon and every one enjoyed themselves, and departed for their homes about 4 o'clock in a happy frame of mind. Eighteen of the ladies of the United Brethren Aid attended the business and social session at the home of Mrs. John Hill Thursday afternoon, which was unusually good, the offering amounting to SB. Section one of the society arranged to conduct another pastry sale in the Baughman building tomorrow, and the society also made plans for the renovation of the church. They will paper the edifice anew, repaint the inside wood-

work, renew the carpets, and may decide to provide entirely new carpet. A new member, Mrs. Jennie Stevens, was received into the society Thursday. The next meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. Rex. Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Schug were delightful entertainers of the members of the Twtngnt etub Thursday evening at their home on Third street. In a series of games of progressive pedro, the first prize was captured by the host, and the booby by Mrs. Cliffton Haughton, w-hfle in a contest of molding animals from chewing gum Mr. Haughton regained the honors by winning the first prize. These with other features of the entertainment, Including lunch, made the social a most pleasant one. The next meeting will be on Hallowe’en at the home of the Haughtons. The G. W. C. Girls were entertained Thursday evening by Miss Blanch Ervin, Miss Celia Kinney being received as a new member. Following an interesting series of games, refreshments, consisting of chicken, sandwiches, pickles, baked apples, cake and coffee, were served. The Presbyterian ladies held a veryagreeable business and social meeting at the home of Mrs. John Schug Thursday, the afternoon being a most delightful one. Out-of-town guests were Mrs. Sarah King of Terre Haute and Miss Rebecca Porter of Canal Fulton, Ohio. Mr. and Mrs. George Flanders will entertain a company of ladies and gentlemen at six o’clock dinner Saturday in compliment to Mrs. Flander's sister, Mrs. Charles Wentworth of Cincinnati, Ohio.
