Ashurst of Arizona recently replied to a petition from a number of bis constituents asking him to vote against the reduction of the tariff on wool, cattie, sheep and leather goods, in the following Straightforward manner, which we feel about hits the nail square on the head: “In asking me to oppose any reduction in she tariff on beef, mutton, cattie, sheep, raw wool, woolen goods, and leather goods you surely must have been under the impression that I was a standpat republican instead of a progressive democrat. The democratic party is commited, so far as faith and honor can bind men, to reduce the tariff on all the necessaries of life; and I could not take the action you request me to take unless I turned traitor to every principle I have been advocating. • * » Every person in the world is a free trader after he gets his own interests protected. The cattlemen want cattle, meats and hides protected, but want to buy everything else as cheaply as possible. The woolgrowers want wool protected, but naturally desire to purchase everything else as cheaply as they may. The pineapple growers want everything on the free list but pineapples; the sew- j ing-machine manufacturer wants sew-1 ing-machines protected and everything else on the free list, and so ou down the line. “I am always glad to please my friends in Arizona, but I cannot do what you ask. I shall not vote to permit one set of men to make money improperly at the expense of the whole public. No legitimate business I should require a gift, bounty , or largess from the government. If the

Wednesday evening Was the regular meeting of the Modern Woodmen. When they assembled, however, they found their sisters, the Royal Neighbors, In possession of the camp waiting to extend to them neighborly greetings. The Woodmen's wives and a number of other friends had been invited and a company of fifty-two proceeded to have a good time. The entertainment committee provided many amusements. In a musical contest, Earl Butler won the first prize and Edward Yahne the booby. * In a touch contest, Mrs. Elmer Archer was successful, while Mr. Duke was given the consolation prize. Music by the Fledderjohann sisters, violinists, and the Misses Ruth Mayer and Helen Archer was very good, and in the general good time, many games were played. When the delicious aroma from the bubbling camp fire pot proclaimed that the coffee was ready, tempting refreshments, including also sandwiches, pickles and cake were served. That the society is indeed rightly named—“ Royal Neighbors"—was only demonstrated again in last evening's hospitable social. At the annual meeting of the Historical club at the home of Mrs. Charles S. Battenberg Tuesday evening, the following officers for the year were elected: President, Mrs. W. A. Lower; vice president, Mrs. Mary Elev; corresponding secretary, Mrs. J. N. Fristoe; secretary, Mrs. J. C. Sutton; treasurer. Miss Nellie Blarkburn. A committee comprising Mrs. Lower, Mrs. Crabbs, Mrs. Allison and Mrs. Congleton, is arranging the study for the new year. The study will be of Js'orway, Sweden and Denmark. The twenty-five members of the Bible class of the United Brethren church taught by Mrs. John Hill met at the home of Mrs. Ben Hoagland for organization for more systematic and better work. The suggestive name, “Do Your Best,” was selected by the class at this time and the following officers were elected: President, Mrs. Ben Hoagland; vice president, Mrs. John Kiracofe; secretary, Miss Josephine Drummond. Next Sunday the president will appoint committees and a system of work will be planned. Mrs. Paul Kendall of Tipton, Ind., passed through the city today to visit with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. O. N. Snellen, at Willshire, Ohio. Mr. Kendall will come through in their machine to spend Sunday. Mr. Kendall and father have the Tipton motor car agency.

The Knights of Columbus hall was filled last evening with guests of the St. Vincent de Paul society ladies when they gave their "five hundred" party and dance. Nearly forty tables were filled by the players and the social was a very enjoyable one. The proceeds will be used for the charitable work for which this cociety is noted.

Stephenson of Goshen were also out-of-town guests. During the social mingling the Holland girls served refreshments of cake, mints and ice cream. The ice cream was in the tri-color layer form, flavored with the fruits, strawberry, pineapple and chocolate. The girls who served were the Misses Mary Erwin, Lillian Rice, Leah and Veda Jiensley. Reha Quinn, Winifred Burk, Dorothy Dugan, Mary- Frisinger, Gladys Myers, Ruth Bowers. The social wag conceded one of the most pleasant of the club’* series, and say "What you Will os as you Like It" it surpassed the fondest hopes of "A Midsummer Night's Dream.” A Small Beginnl"{|.

Like most great things, the club had a small beginning, hut a noble purpose and it grew, "Measure for Measure” with great success. The town of Decatur was a little “Hamlet" thirty years ago, when Mrs. Harriet Studabaker conceived the idea of organizing a Shakespeare club for the purpose of self-culture. There were only seven charter members, including Mtb. Studabaker, her two daughters. Miss Harriet, now of Coronado, FTa., and Mrs. Elizabeth Morrison, of Oaxaca, MexiMrs. Jennie Furman, of Marion, Ohio; Miss Malite Numbers of Austin, Tex., and two. Miss Debbie Mickle and Miss Carrie Smith, who like the organizer, have gone to their eternal home. At first, the club struggled along without the great aid that came later with extensive magazines and libraries, as well as the federation aids and the ladies made out their own outlines for lesson studies. Later the club divided and a part took the Chautaugua course of study and received diplomas, while the others continued their own study. Later they united again and have continued so until the present. For the past several years the ladies have taken the Bay View prescribed course oft study. They have not always confined themselves to the study of Shakespeare alone, but have taken up his-, torical studies and all that tends to i the uplift and self-culture of the members as well as the city and the world in general. The memebrship has' grown to include twenty active members and thirteen honorary members. With so fine a record, the organizer, and those who have contributed so much to the growth of the club, certainly need not feel ‘‘Love's Labor Lost.” It is a notable fact that of the membership during the thirty years,: only six have been calledto the high-, er home. The club will open Its new season next autumn, with six new members, .these being present last evening as guests. They are: Mrs. F. H. Hubbard, Mrs. W. H. Gleiuer, Mrs. T. M. Reid, Mrs. J. C. Sutton, Mrs. A. D. Suttles and Mrs. S. D. Beavers. Those in active membership the past year are Mesdames Allison, Boyers, Crabbs, Dorwin, Dugan, Daniels, J. H. Heller, Hooper, D. D. Heller, Hensley, Moltz, Mbllck, Patterson, Rice, Sprang, Smith, Schafer, Semans, Trout and Tyndall. It is an interesting thing to note that one of the new members Mrs. A. D Suttles, is a granddaughter of the organizer of the club. Her mother, Mrs. John Niblick, has been a member for many years, thus making three generations identified with the club. The outlook for the new year is very bright.

POLICE COURT. An affidavit was filed in 'Squire Stone’s court last evening by Clifford Death of Bobo, charging Kit Cowan, the well known merchant of that place, with assault and battery upon Death's son. According to the story as told by Cowan the little boy used some very obscene language to Mrs. Cowan, and when repdimanded by Mr. Cowan repeated the words, and which ended in the result that Kit gave the boy a much-neede<t”paternal spanking and took him home. Mr. Death, however, tool! offense at the authority which Kit had shown and proceeded to file an affidavit against him. On account of the law being very explicit on the charge of assault and battery and Inasmuch as Cowan had laid his hands upon t.he boy it was impossible for him to plead otherwise than Kuilty. He was fined $1 and costs, which amounted to $9.80, which he paid. — ty ■■■— - -■■■ WANTED—Two men, single, to travel with manager. Expenses advanced.
