The horse is the largest that could be found in West Virginia, standing sixteen hands high. Now the president can feel that he is not riding his “peri sonal hobby’’ that has come so near breaking his neck, because the naughty standpatters persisted in putting sand burrs under his tail, if it does bear the same name.—Warsaw Daily Union. Here are some of the important . things the democratic house has done at the special session of congress: A complete reformation of the house rules; passed the Canadian reciprocity trade agreement; a bill requiring pub-i licity of campaign funds before elections; a resolution providing for the election of United States senators by ' , , J direct vote, hf the people; a resolution authorizihg the admission of Arizona and New Mexico to the union; the farmers' free list bill; a wool bill that reduces the average ad valorem duty on manufactured woolens from 90 per cent to 42(4 per cent; preparing a bill that will make a very decided redue tion in cotton goods.—Tipton Daily Times. He did it. As predicted, President Taft vetoed the wool bill about as soon as he could get to it. In his message he gives six or seven reasons for his act, but only one was necessary—- “ The platform on which I was elected 1 binds me to promise of securing and maintaining protective tariff.’'

A BEAUTIFUL ASSORTMENT of the very newest conceptions in Fall and Winter woolens have arrived. (J We suggest an early selection by men who appreciate the best t a i 1 o r e d-to-order at a reasonable price THE MYERSDAILEY CO.

j Then why all this talk about the com I I mission, the tariff board and all other I • rot? Protection means the taking! i care of the big interests, who own all | the mills that would be affected by a ■ tariff reduction on wool. We don't i believe the president himself is In ac- | cord with such an act, but that he i agreed to deliver the goods and has ino way out. The people will no doubt congratulate him for keeping his promise, but will certainly condemn i him for making such a one. Protec- i tion of the infant industry may have < been a good argument a third of a cen- I tury ago. We never thought so and j , don't now, for it has been the up-! builder of the great trusts and combinations, but be that as it may, the | man who contends that "infant Indus-1 tries” need protection now must either be "Influenced" or forget the • fact that these infants have grown to be about the largest adults on the ' face of the earth. LEFT YESTERDAY. Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Lengerich and Mrs. Theo Smith Off For Germany. I Mrs. Theodore Smith Thursday. In company with Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Lengerich, left over the Erie for New ' York City, arriving there this evening. | i and at 10 Saturday morning will set sail on the steamship Washington for l Munster. Germany. They had intended going sooner, but on account of the Illness of Mr. Lengerich, which : overtook him last Sunday, they I were delayed a day in starting. They i will be absent for six weeks and per- , haps longer, just as they see fit, and when they believe they have witnessed all the sights they care to. They will make stops at several cities of I interest, but their main visit will be at I Munster, where relatives of both parties are residing. I While Edna Crawford and Louise Holbrook were driving west on Madison street this noon and thinking of ' nothing but pleasure their thoughts were somewhat lowered when the rear wheel of their rig slipped off, ali lowing them to drop to the street. The horse, which became somewhat frightened, was guarded by passersby, and the wheel put back into its proper place. No damage resulted and the occupants of the rig traveled on ( as before. —c STORK LEAVES GIRL. 1 A baby girl is the glad news received by the friends of Mr. and Mrs. ’ Alban Coulter, residing in the north part of the city, and which was born this morning.

Washington, D. C., Aug. 18—(Special to Daily Democrat I —Amid wild scenes this afternoon the house took up the task of overthrowing Taft's . veto to the wool revision bill. Representative James, democrat, of Kentucky, decried Taft, saying he would go down in history as placing the veto against the wishes of the American people. Austin, republican, of Tennessee, against started the Clark boom for president amid uproar. Lenriott of Wisconsin, appeared and asked the house to vote for the wool bill, to stand firm and vote against Taft, saying if they did not the country ' would believe they were insincere. Adjournment by the middle of next week was forecasted by Democratic Leader Underwood this afternoon. Taft spent today preparing his veto , for the farmers' free list bill. —— oTHE MISSING WORD. - ... .. The words omitted were “have," | from the Meyers Cement Works, and “line,” from Brushwiller & Baker. The first correct answer taken from the ballot box was that belonging to Adrian Buckmaster. The words omitted from day to day are easy, so easy in fact that many overlook them. Remember it must be some necessary word, something necessary to give complete sense to the sentence. Another easy bunch of words have been left out for you to find over Sunday \ and you should hustle an answer in , for the contest which closes Monday noon. o BEN HURS TONIGHT. The regular meeting of the Ben Hurs will be held this evening at the Red Men’s hall and an extra good attendance is desired.
