Just where th* republicans and ’ bull moosers are going to extract any i comfort from the actions of the demo- ' crats is hard to determine. If the reI cent session is to be judged by the ( good it has done it will shine in coni- , parison with the deed of the republi- i cans. If it is to stand or fall by the ' bad that slipped through during the J closing hours it won’t have to be apolo- ( gized for if the misdeeds of the repub- j licans are recalled.. As a matter of < policy it is expected that the republi- 1 cans will try to pick the work of the ‘ democrats to pieces. The bull moos- . ers are liable to renew their attack on ] the ground that the democrats failed : i to enact a workman’s compensation 1 law, a general primaries act and meas- ‘ ( ures for reducing the working hours | for women, and for the establishment! of a minimum wage for them. Yet it < is a fact that the few bull moosers in 1 the legislature failed to support the planks of their own platform, and the ( nwichrtalked-of legislative committee of the bull moose party, appointed just I prior to the opening of the session,• made no attempt to carry out the purpose for which it was appointed. Representative Capelie of Cincinnati has introduced a bill in the Ohio legislature that will bring down on him the wrath of a million women. The bill provides that a commission of three, including a minister, a father of three children, and a social settlement worker, be appointed whose duty shall be to prescribe the fashions to be worn by women in the state of Ohio. The bill provides that “no more than two inches of the neck below the chin shall be uncovered,” and that it shall

be unlawful to wear transparent stock-1 ings, dresses trimmed in mesh or net through which the skin shows. Capelle says the recent fashions in ladles' I dresses are the cause of the Immoral wave over the country. According to the official notice pub- ; lished in this issue, the site for the 'Decatur postoffice will be decided at ( Washington April Bth. If this is done ; i without a scrap over the location here, ■ as now seems probable, Decatur will; have her federal building sooner than [many of those cities, for which the i building appropriation has already I been made. The buildings are erected ' according to the way the site is selectjed. This will be done in two years, lit is believed. At least we have Mr. , Adair’s promise, and he keeps them. | The special session of congress will open April 7th, the purpose being the long-promised revision of the tariff. It will be done by men who have only the I best interests of the nation, her people and her business at heart, and none will suffer except the guilty. Court mouse news.

A. Dugan home. A profusion of green plants, and a number of green draperies carried out the decorations of the home, and the amusements were appropriate for St. Patrick's day. On arrival, each guest was given a card badge tied with a green ribbon, bearing the name of some well known Irish person or character whom they were to represent during the evening. Some were Irish officials, others heroines in Irish songs and four bore the names of “The Irish Quartet” These were then called upon to sing some songs during the evening. A guessing contest was interesting in which questions were to be answered with words having “green” as some part of them. Several answered all but one, and a cut was taken for the prize, which was a green leatherbound guest book. Miss Williams was the successful one. Miss Marie Alli- , son of Indianapolis was also a guest ,and sang several pleasing Irish songs. The delicious refreshments carried out the St. Patrick emblems and colors, the ice cream being especially pretty with its green shamrock. Democrat Want Ads Pav.
