The Guggenheim syndicate produces white lead, among other things. The Colorado Guggenheim was in the senate when the Payne-Al-drich tariff law was passed. White lead is protected by the Payne-Aldrich tariff law at the rate of 2% cents a pound. The Guggenheim white lead sold in New York last week, in large quantities, at 6 cents a pound to manufacturers and large consumers. In

Hamburg, Germany, that same Guggenheim white lead, with insurance and freight paid to Hamburg, is delivered for cents a pound! The difference in price is exactly the amount of the tariff. And the American people pay the difference. But this is only one story. There is another one, and it is this: The duty on manufactured rubber was raised by the Payne-Aldrich tariff from thirty to thirty-five per cent. This tariff became a law on August sth. Within a month a rubber company was being organized. Within three months the organization was complete; its capital is $40,000,000, its managing head is the son of Senator Aldrich. Senator Aldrich, himself, is a director, and holds 25,000 shares; among the other large stockholders are Simon Guggenheim, senator from Colorado, with 10,000 shares, and four of Senator Guggenheim's brothers, with an aggregate of 38,000 shares. Within three months after its organization the new rubber company had paid dividends aggregating 18.2 per cent. And the American people will continue to pay that dividend and as much more as the rubber trust asks until the tariff is changed. GET OUT THE VOTE. THE MORE DEMOCRATS WHO VOTE THIS YEAR. THE BIGGER WILL BE THE MAJORITY. IT IS THE HOPE OF THE WORKERS IN THIS COUNTY THAT THE MAJORITIES THIS YEAR nc, THAN El ER BEFORE IN AN UFF-YEAR ELECTION AND WITH A LITTLE ASSISTANCE ON YOUR PART, THIS [WILL BE TRUE. VOTE EARLY AND HELP GET THE OTHERS OUT. THAT’S THE SPIRIT. A GREAT VICTORY fS IN SIGHT AND IT'S UP TO THE PRECINCT WORKERS TO POLL THE VOTE. ONE WEEK FROM TODAY' IS THE DAY FIXED FOR THE BATTLE OF BALLOTS. IT’S AN IMPORTANT BATTLE. ONE WHEREIN THE PRINCIPLE IS THAT OVER WHICH BATTLES WITH ARMS HAVE OCCURRED—UNJUST TAXATION, AND WHILE THE TAX IS COVERED WITH A TARIFF CLOAK, IT IS BEING FELT SO STRONGLY NOW, THAT THE FIGHTERS WILL SHOW OF WHAT STUFF THEY’ ARE MADE, WHEN ELECTION DAY COMES. HELP LICK ’EM. GET OUT THE VOTE. Jerry Kelleher, the contractor, who is building Adams and Mercer streets, is one of the kind of democrats that never quits. He will address the boys at the democratic headquarters Wednesday evening. Come up and hear him. Jerry says he don't see any use of quarrelling over this local option question, but if we just leave the republicans in office a few years longer, no one will have enough money to buy a glass of beer, unless he belongs to a trust. Congressman Adair is speaking every evening to immense crowds over this district and everywhere he goes, he is showing the enthusiasm of former years. There is not the question of a doubt but that he will be returned to congress by a majority equaling that of his former victories. You

take no chance In voting for Mr, Adair. You know just what that is. Everybody should vote for the constitutional amendment at next Tuesday’s election. It is one to change the constitution to provide proper qualifications for lawyers. It deserves to win out this year and every voter, be he democrat, republican, prohibitionist or socialist, should vote for it. Remember it when you enter the polls. With Senator Foraker and Roosevelt both covering Ohio this week, in a desperate effort to save that state and its congressional candidates, it might be well to keep them far enough apart that a conflict don't occur. There is danger of them wiping out the few votes they have lined up there. Jacob Butcher, the democratic nominee for representative, is a friend to the old soldier, to the farmer, to the business man, and to every one of his constituency. He will vote for John W. Kern for United States senator. Every indication looks good for a democratic landslide at the election Tuesday, in fact the outlook gets better with each hour. There is no stopping it. Get on the band wagon and join us in making it unanimous. Educators and people interested in the schools of Indiana, remember that a vote for Charles Greathouse next Tuesday, means a vote to continue the present high standard of the state superintendent office. None of the republican speakers is using “forty-cent bacon” as a campaign slogan. At the rate things are going up, “Mary will have to pull the vines and eat them before long. John W. Kern's record for twenty years is one of reform. You can be sure he will not vote for a tariff to plunder the people and increase the cost of living. Hallowe’en and the boys upset everything in sight, except the democratic landslide, due next Tuesday. Samuel Ralston will tell us all about it Friday evening at the court house. Don’t miss hearing him. 1 RIME IF THE ANCIENT POLITISH. (Charles Irvin Junkin, in ’Success Magazine.”) It was an Ancient Politish, That grabbed me by the sleeve, And told the gruesome tale to me Without a by-your-leave. Says he, "The ship were sailin’ free, ’Twere back in Nineteen Nine, We’d scraped her bottom good and clean Os barnacles and Bryan. * “An' she were reelin’ off the knots An’ slidin’ like a snake, When this here Tariff Bill riz up A bobbin’ in her wake. •■An' day an’ night it tagged along Till all me mates was blue, Fer fear ’at it would work ’em ill, An’ what wuz they t’ do? “Says I, ‘Me merry mates, belay!’ An’ then I up an' roared, An’ grabbed that bloomin’ Tariff Bill An’ yanked it right aboard. “Says they t' me, ‘Y” elephant! ‘Y’ want t’ wreck the ship? Leggo that bloomin’ Tariff Bill!’ An’ smote me on the hip. “An’ then they throws me on the deck, Ez cruel ez can be, An’ ties the Bill around me neck, An’ drops me in the sea! * ' “An’ ever sense that orful day I never finds no rest, With that same bloomin’ Tariff Bill A hangin’ on me chest.” CARD OF THANKS. The children of Mrs. Magdalena Bremerkamp wish in this way to thank all those whose aid was so kindly extended to them and their mother during her illness and at the time of her death. o— NORTH MICHIGAN POTATOES FOR SALE.

Instead of the usual Tuesday afternoon sewing party the ladies of the Sewing club gave a Hallowe’en dinner and party Monday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. P. G. Hooper, the husbands of the ladies being guests. The ladies assembled earlier In the evening and had the home tastily decorated with bitter sweet vines, adorning mantles, pictures, doorways and arches, carrying out the charming color of red and green, and over all was cast the ghostly gleam and subdued light of grinning jacko’lanterns sitting on mantles, pedestals, and in every nook and corner. Into this twilight the gentlemen, who arrived later, were ushered and then up on the stairway, where all were encased in white sheets and pillow cases for the ghost walk and promenade, before the guessing of “who is

who." After this preamble the brilliant lights were turned on and the assembly ushered in the dining room at 6 o’clock, where a four-coursJ dinner was served. The table was pretty with its centerpiece of pink roses, and Hallowe’en decorations of black cats, and tiny pumpkin jack-o’lan-terns, used in the decorations and given as favors. Singing and conversation until 10 o'clock closed one of the happiest affairs of the Sewing club. Miss Reba Quinn proved herself a delightful hostess at a happy Hallowe’en party at her home on South Third street Monday evening. The Hallowe'en spirit greeted the guests as they entered, in the form of twinkling Jack-o'lanterns and Hallowe'en masks, arranged in an effective way, while red and yellow apples suspended by strings in the doorways, gave promise of an after-contest, as well

as providing a pretty decoration. All i the old time Hallowe’en games and | customs, such as bobbing for apples, etc., were called into play, and there were music and delicious Hallowe'en refreshments thoroughly enjoyed by the following guests: Naomi Dugan, Lillian Rice, Winifred Sowers, Florence Meyers, Winifred Burke, Neva Brandyberry, William Bowers, Edgar i Vancil, Gregg Neptune. Leo Sprunger, Roy Zeighfried and Sherman Beery. A happy celebration and Hallowe'en party combined was the surprise glvj en the Rev. and Mrs. Ehle Monday ev- | ening at the parsonage by a company of about fifty of the members of the Baptist congregation, in commemoration of the ninth wedding anniversary of the pastor and wife. The company met at the home or Mrs. H. Winnes. some masked and some in “ordinary attire,” and it was a motley looking i company, but one of good cheer that burst upon the Ehle family. The celebrants were presented with a set of silver knives and forks, with the best wishes of the assembly, and a happy evening, with games galore, followed. Pop-corn and candy were served during the evening. A profusion of leafy branches and vases of autumn flowers adorning the rooms, in the midst of which stood ghastly sheeted pillars, topped with grinning jack-o’lanterns, over which the glow of lights streamed as in the twilight gave the Cliffton Haughton home the appropriate weird effect for the party given by the Twilight club Monday evening. The members of the club came masked and as each entered, seated themselves quietly in the

t> weird room, the quiet adding much to the impressiveness of the affair. Then came the guessing of the masked assembly, sheets of paper being given each guest on which they were to write the nams of thosETAOJSHRDL write the names of those they identified. the contest lying in guessing the greatest number. Progressive peanuts followed, the host. Cliffton Haughton, winning the first prize and John Bailey, the booby. Games of all kinds, supposed to belong to this festive day, with a lunch at midnight. . brought the Hallowe’en frolic to a close. Mr. and Mrs. Martin Jaberg, two new members of the club, were ‘ present, besides all the older members. 1 The annual Thank Offering of the Woman's Missionary society of the > Methodist church will be held Thurs-

day evening at the home of Mrs. P. G. Hooper. The following program will be given: Devotional—Mrs. Sherman Powell. Responsive Reading. Solo —Mrs. Jesse Sellemeyer. Paper—“ Our Indians; Where and What?”—Mrs. Mary Eley. Duet—Dr. and Mrs. J. Q. Neptune. “Echoes From the National Convention at Buffalo”—Mrs. John Niblick. Piano Solo—Winifred EUingham. Business Period—Refreshments. Miss Mamie Kitson gave a merry Hallowe’en party, the guests coming masked, which contributed much to the interest and pleasure. Games of all sorts, supposed to be given over to this evening were played, and there was music, followed by a taffy puli and candy making. Guests were Stella Chronister, Huldah Loser, Grace Purdy. Ethel Butler, Cecil Eady, Dessie Mann Inez Coverdale, Agnes Gillig and Florine Edwards. Mrs. W. L. Frank, who resides in the south part of the city, was the victim of a masquerade surprise party Monday evening at her home and one of the best social times enjoyed by her friends for some time was had. After all had been made known the evening was spent in a social way and all enjoyed themselves very much. Not least pleasant among the festive Hallowe’en affairs was the dance given Monday evening by the Phi Deltas. A bungalow or wigwam of com fodder in the corner of the room, was J® T ? all ° We ’ en decoration, other than the happy couples that flitted to and fro, in pretty festive costumes ! under the brilliant lights, to the mu-

sic furnished by Vane Weaver and Ralph Moser. Out of town guests were Harry Starr, Miss Groves of Bluffton, Bonnie Druhot, Gladys Miller, Eno Rolf and Ervin Manth of Fort Wayne. The Misses Bonnie Druhot and Gladys Miller of Fort Wayne, who attended the Phi Delta dance Monday evening, were guests over night of Miss Lucile Hale, returning to their home this morning.
