The tariff bill has become a law. It ( was signed yesterday afternoon by the t president and is now in effect. Much 1 has been said pro and con. and now 1 we shall see what we shall see. For ' nearly a year it lias been assured that tin tariff would tie r< J.sed and for ; several years the iieople have been demanding it at every election. The job was entrusted to President Taft, who revised it upward and divided the , republican party. The democrats have kept faith with the people. We < believe the lower tariff will prove suffi- 1 cient and the law a popular one. The general opinion, we believe, Is also favorable toward currency legislation

ard it is the hope that this most im po-iant law, guarding the credit of the nation .will soon become a realitv.j President Wilson is all right and the people know it. He is for them and they are for him. There is an opportunity for some benevolent or religious institution to secure the beautiful Steele park east; of the city, where could he establish- 1 ed a home that would be a credit to ‘ the county. At least the offer is worth investigating and those inter-! tsed should read carefully Mr. Snow's article in today's paper and then get busy. The democrats present a ticket of clean and able men to serve the city in its municipal offices. They are all r.ght morally, are good citizens. busiless men us Uigii standing and will serve you well. Their interests are your interests and they will so conduct the affairs of the offices that they w ill please you. No one disputes the tact that Decatur’s tax is high, bat if there is any other way to pay off a city debt that meant almost bankruptcy, <we don’t 1 now what it is. The tax was used lor that puriiose and the debt has been reduced to that place where a lower tax rate is assured in the Immediate future. FOR SALE-At a bargain, one cab buggy.

Departing from the usual custom of the club. Miss Con gb-ton served light refreshments and the stay lengthened into a social. The club is anticipating an interesting study October 16. at the home of Mrs. W. P. Schrock when Mrs. J. S. Peterson will lead the program on David Wilkie, A. R Harry Daniel arrived today from Chicago for a week-end visit with his

mother, Mrs. Emma Daniel, and his brother-in-law. C. C. Schafer, and family. Twenty-one little girls made merry with little Gretchen Schafer, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. (’. C. Schafer, on her fourth birthday anniversary Friday afternoon from 3 to 5 o'clock. The tine homestead with its spacious rooms and lawn on North Second street rang Joyously with the voices in thein games. One of the very best was the animal hunt. Hidden in every conceivable place were animal crackers — fierce lions and tigers and the more gentle, domestic pussy cats, cows and piggies. Miss Harriet Meyers succeeded in finding the greater number and wn awarded the prize. Another contest was both pretty and novel. A picture ob a baby, hung low, excited much Interest and there were many wonders why the little holes were cut in the mouth and in other places ai»out the face. The curiosity was soon allayed, however, when each little guest was blindfolded and given a I ottle. Site was to walk to the picture and fit the cork of the hottie ino one of the holes, as near the mouth as possible. Miss Charlotte Niblick was the most suuccessful. The little guests found places at the table for the refreshments. Autumn leaves and fems filled bowls on the table nnd at each place was a lighted candle and Teddy bear for a favor. The birth day cake was a splendid one ornamented with the name and date of the celebrant and her birth and also lighted candles symbolic of her years. The guests remembered Miss Gretchen with many beautiful gifts.
