Entered at the postofflee in Decatur, The special edition of the Huntington Press issued Thursday by the Commercial club of that city was a new and all right idea. We are growing b-uter. Even Terra Haute has awakened to the fact that gambling and other race track violations belong to the old school and a protest has been made that may clean up that old and wicked city. Twenty-three nations have notified Secretary of State Bryan that they favor his plan for world-wide peace. The movement is the greatest in all history and it has not received the attention that might be expected, the public evidently giving all then- time to the tariff, banking laws, the Mexican situation, base ball and other matters which are really not nearly so important as this peace treaty. The subpoena for Mr. Watson of Indiana to appear before the senate committee has been withdrawn, but be has been notified that lie will be heard if he wants to be. if he really wishes to deny the allegations made against him by Mr. Mulhall he of course can do so, and il he cares anything about the opinion of his Hoosier iriends, lie will cancel another grist of Chautauqua dates and do a little head-lining for the press of the nation. Another of Mr. Smoot's exhibitions Is the general prediction, couched in the direst terms, of the ruin that will spread over this country if the new tariff is adopted Ruin may spread over it. or that is to say, it may have n check in its prosperity, but it will not be because of the tariff, but because of the recklessly extravagant '■'ay in which the people high and low are living, and the money they are wasting. To say that such things are raused by a lowering of the tariff is to say that it is harder to raise a package over a two-foot wall than over a six-foot wall. Therefore, if wsubstitute a two fold, wall for the sivioot and so economize labor and time we shall be ruined by it. That is Smoot’s argument. A tariff is a tax, nothing more. It can produce prosperity of individuals by taxing qll the jieople for their benefit- Hut it cannot add to tile wealth of a nation or the prosperity that means wealth, for taxation is not wealth or industry, hut a charge on both. It simply takes from the surplus of everybody and turns the sum into ti. pockets of the favored few whose manner of proceedtire we are getting light on now. Smoot and his kind are simply registering their jeremiads now so that they can say In the future, if any setlack comes, “It is because of the tariff;” which is simply another way of saying “it is because the people are not taxed as much as they were.” For one tiling at least we may be thankful, the day of the Smoots appears to I>< pausing. The country Is learning bow It has been mulcted these many lears. —Indianapolis News.

DOINGS IN SOCIETY WEEK’S SOCIAL CALENDAR. Friday. Orient Club—Mrs. Charles Murray. Saturday. Ice Cream Social—Washington Church. UGLY THINGS AND LONGEVITY. “I have taken a new turn in my philosophy," said a Decatur girl. ' Whether it is a good and wise one, remains to be seen At any rate, the new things I buy heneelortn are going to be pretty a part of the time, and not all of them ugly all the lime. “All my life, in buying anything for the house or wardrobe, I have taken into considcratioti the wearing qualities.’ 'Will this delicate shade fade in just a little while, or will not this delicate material wear out in just a short while? The result is that I always buy good old sober, but exceedingly ugly shades, of good wearing material. And they do wear! My, how they do wear! and how tired 1 get of them, before they are worn out. I never really like them in the first place and then to have to endure them through all their ugly, long existencl-. "Now, I reason thusly. If 1 buy a pretty delicate shade it will be pretty as long as it holds that color. If it fades, it cannot be much uglier than the ugly color I would have chosen otherwise. and I will have the comfort of having the pretty color a littile while, anyhow." Her friends are waiting to see how the philosophy results. Miss Bessie Boyers entertained the Tri-Kappa sorority and a few other guests at her home Thursday afternoon. Th® study has given way during the summer to purely social good times and the girls brought their needlework and talked as they sewed and afterward had luncheon.

We have learned with regret anil sorrow of the death of our esteemed brother, able lawyer, friend and neighbor. Amos l‘. Beatty, whose death occurred in tile City of Decatur, Indiana, on the twentieth day of July, 1913. By his death this lodge has lost a valued member, whose almost every endeavor was always exerted for the welfare of this order and whose upright and noble life is one worthy of imitation. By his deatii his wife has lost a kind and loving 'husband, his children a kind and indulgent father, the community a good citizen, one ol deep human sympathies. His outlook upon life was a kindly one, and he was always ready to help the poor and distressed, to pity the erring, and to condone their faults He practiced his chosen profession in this community for many years. He was able, conservative, fair and honest, truthful and considerate, his word was good,and his promises always fulfilled. In the practice of his chosen profession he achieved a worthy and enviable distinction. His fame in his profession was not wholly local: the four winds caught it up and carried It abroad. He was loyal to his clients, making their interests his interests, fighting for their rights, as he conceived them with vim and vigor that insured victory; therefore, be it Resolved. That as a token of our respect for our deceased brother, our charter be draiied in mourning for thirty days; that a copy of these resolutions be given to the wife and children of our deceased brother; that a copy be given to the newspapers of the city of Decatur for publication and that a copy be spread of record in the record book of our order; and be it farther Resolved. That we extend to the wife and children of our deceased brother our heartfelt sympathy in this their hour of bereavement. JOHN (’. MORAN, H J. YAGER. E. G. COVERDAUS, Committee- —• 1 --o CASE DISMISSED. Suit of Gilliom vs- Graham Dismissed in Mayor's Court TodayTlie case of Oswin Gilliom vs. Villo Graham was dismissed this afternoon in Mayor Twplc's court on account of the absence of the prosecutor, who found it necessary to be out of the city on legal business. Graham was appointed deputy marshal of the to* n of Monroe for ten days, and during his appointment Oswin GHliotn of Berne ran through the town on Ills motorcycle one evening after dark without a light, which is in violation of the state law. Graham secured an automobile and followed Gilliom to Berne- At that place lie secured the services of the marshal, not having the authority to servo the paperu himself, aud proceeded to run Gilliom down. Not wishing to make any unnecessary trouble he compromised witli Gilliom and made the proposition (bat if he would pay the auto hire that no case would be mad'' against him. Gilliom wrote out n check for the amount, but the next morning stopped payment ou it aud s*ore out an affidavit against Gru ham for acting without authority as an official of the law. The dismissing of the case this afternoon ends tills chapter of the story, but It is said by the parties concerned that there will be another more exciting and sensational chapter in the near future.

In High Esteem (CONTINVEO FROM PAGE ONE) as to his ability and standing in his profession, where we knew him best, yet it would not be just to his ashes, nor to the members of his own bur. il we failed to tarry tor a moment and dwell upon his real worth in this behalf. Amos I*. Beatty did not miss his calling; he possessed no small amount of native talent, and with this talent he united to good advantage a thorough course of reading and study in the principles of the common lav and of equity, and develojied into a well-trained lawyer. The force of facts and the application of the same to the law was well within his comprehension in the preparation and the trial ol a cause. He represented the law and its administration and, although loyal to his clients, he never used the law as a vehicle of oppression, nor to reach an unjust result- While actively engaged in his profession, he was < ailed away; his calling, indeed, was sudden and sorrowful, and the news of his death was considerable of a shock to the members of this bar, for but -ti few days ago. when visiting in the city of Portland, he was apparently in the best of health, but this is life; “For some, must watch, while some must sleep: Thus runs the world away.” Death at ail times is indeed an unwelcome guest, but doubly sf is this tiue where one is called from bis a"- 1 customed place before lie Ims rounded out the allotted age of man. There is that inate feeling in the hunmn ; breast that every one should be ac-] corded at least threescore years and ten upon the stage of life in order that the full cycle of time may be com-i pleted- But we can not fathom the wisdom and the philosophy that calls time in any age of man. aud thus being unable to question God's wisdom we humbly bow to His submission. In the death of Amos P. Beatty, h s household has lost a kind father, and an affectionate husband, and the roster of his bar has stricken from it the m.me of a worthy lawyer; society has lost a genial and affable man; the community a good citizen. We recommend that a page of the order book of the Jay circuit court be dedicated and set apart for the recording of these few lines to his memory, and we request of our neighboring ba ■ ol Adams county, to whom we have been so closely connected for many years, to reioid like'.vise in a suitable place 'i|>on their order book this brief memorial, that the may have befoi;e them as time runs on our estimation u'lion the life and character of one we cherished.
