Without making the slightest Effort to do so he seems to have impressed himself on the country. There never was a poorer advertiser, and yet the people have heard enough of him to make them admire him. In a recent issue of the Washington Herald was this: “It is easily conceivable that the repetition of 1890, recorded by Tuesday's landslide, may in two years be followed by a repetition of 1892. All the more conceivable it is with men of the calibre of Wilson, Dix, Marshall and Baldwin intrusted with the party's destinies in states traditionally democratic under normal conditions. Marshall has already demonstrated conspicuously the qualities of the sane, progressive leadership, and if the gov-ernors-elect in the east measure up to their opportunities for public servive as he has done, their ability for greater service and highest honors will be apparent to all in 1912. Certainly, in the meantime, it is to such statesmen as these that the party will look for safe guidance and prudent counsel. It is pleasant to have our governor, who is so highly esteemed at home,

thus well spoken of abroad. While be was not a candidaae in the late campaign, no man in Indiana came out of it with greeter credit. In his leadership he allowed, as the Herald says, "thv qualities of sane, progressive leadership." He has, too, made an admirable record as governor. At .he present time his party Is looking Ito him for further leadership, and It is doubtful whether there is a more influential man In the party counsels. In speaking thus, we are not thinking of 1912. The future may be left to take care of itself, as Governor Mar- ' shall himself realizes. He has a chance to show his capacity such as he has ■ot heretofore had. For now his party is—or soon will be—in complete con- . troj of the state government. It s future prosperity depends on the record which it makes. And we believe that Governor Marshall will be influential on the side that is good. Further than that the indications are that the party will be glad to follow him. j But our purpose now is simply to call attention to the spreading fame of the governor. He has not sought notoriety. but has shrunk from it There is no press bureau exploiting him. He has simply tried to do his duty from day to day. Perhaps in this new dispensation other men will realize that the best way to commend themselves to the people is to perform the tasks assigned to them to the best of their ability, and to allow their work to speak for itself. At any rate that is Governor Marshall’s way, and it seems to work pretty well. The demo- . cratic party is not poor In men. Indeed, it never was, though for a time it has been in eclipse. But those who remember the Clevelands, the Bayards, and Wilsons (him of West Virginia), and Olneys, and Lamars, and Carlisles—to go no further back—will not think, erroneously, that the republican party has ever had a monop- ' oly of statesmen. —Indianapolis News. ======== Democrat Want Ads Pay.

The devotional service, including a hymn and the Disciple’s prayer, preceded the business meeting. During the business period, the matter of finding a new name for the club was considered,

and names will be submitted at the next meeting. The girls are planning for an Easter bazaar, and for a chicken supper to be given in the nearer future. A number of contests provided a Jolly time following this period. One was a eat contest, In which sentences in rebus form, were pinned to the wall, the answers to be words beginning In "cat. A feather contest also proved amusing. Questions to bo answered by the names of fowls were written on slips of paper, through which a feather was drawn. These were hidden and after ' they had been found the guests were [lined up and each required to read j and answer his question. Failing to I answer the slip was passed to the i next, and the one answering the ques(tion correctly kept the slip. The one having the greatest number of slips and answers proved the winner. A luncheon, tempting and nicely served, was enjoyed Miss Eula McKinney will entertain the class in two weeks. Mr. and Mrs. L. G.

Mrs. Dessert. A goodly number attended and the boxes, under the auctioneering of John Spuller brought munificent sums, one going for * 10. Fishing ponds, refreshment booths, and other things, contributed to the good time, as well as the building fufd, and made this evening one of great enjoyment.
