The railroads want an increased passenger rate. They have been given an increased freight rate, and these facts, notwithstanding the rates, were established by republican legislative bodies. It would seem that if they are sincere they ought to be doing their part toward making the wheels ol commerce go. instead of holding ba< k as it is notoriously known they have. ■* A baby boy was born at the Whit? House Sunday afternoon, Mrs. Fran; cis Sayre being the mother and Wood? row Wilson is now a "grand daddy.! and proud of it. News dispatches sa.,' the president smiled for two hours when told that the new arrival was a boy and his name will probably be Woodrow Wilson Sayre. The child is the eleventh to have been born at the White House since the beginning of the republic. Jimmy Watson, for many years known as a member of the only real political machine Indiana has ever boasted, defeated for the governorship, I former whip for Joe Cannon, didn't ap- 1 prove of President Wilson's speech, 1 In a recent speech at the Columbia club he said real ugly things about the partisanship displayed in the president's speech. It’s queer, but somehow or other the fact that Jim* my didn't like the sjieech kind o' makes a fellow feel that it was a greater address even titan it has been advertised. Another pioneer of the community has finished his work and gone to his 1 final reward. Our memories of Cap- ( tain Robert D. Patterson will always be delightful. He was one of those noble characters whom it was a real Pleasure to know and his nearly four j score years of life were busy ones. Until very recent years he was on<s of the active men of this city and county. He was kindly and progressive, a man among men, a leader in his own clever and modest way. As | a soldier he was fearless and faith- , ful, and he earned his title as captain. * His work has been well done and he passes to the world where pain is unknown, leaving a trail of kind thoughts for deeds of goodness and adherence to duty. His years were many and his experiences varied. It was a pleasure to hear him tell of them, as we often did. ■■■■■■■•■■■■■■■■■■■■a Evidently the gentlemen who would IpeciaF MEN’S Extra Heavy Jumbo Stitch Sweater Coat Regular $3.50 Value now - $2.35 THE MYERS-DAILEY COMPANY

like to be president aren't wholly satisfied with President Wilson. Senator Horali. for iuertaee, is distinctly pain* ed. He has been reading the president's Indianapolis speech and ho tlnds at least two split infinitives and an improper use of the subjunctive. "What, is the country coming to,” he demands, "when its chief magistrate thus reprehenslbly lax?” In Idaho, he would have it understood, a United States senator is a statesman who tin demands the niceties of the use of words ,aud things. If a senator free Idaho were president the countr would not-Ix'-hmirtiiated in this way Os course, Mr. Borah and the otlitr g<luU*un®n ..w|)o would like to be j>re .

All this is exceedingly trying, because they fear it. i the general feeling. Still, with infinite patience they have set to work 4c set the country right. They propose to educate it in the president's use of the subjunctive, and to make it see the enormity of the way lie combs his hair. Some time they hope to convince it that he isn't the proper man for the job. And then maybe the nation will turn to a real statesman. Some senator, for instance. —Kansas City Star. ■ DOINGS IN SOCIETY I WEEK’S SOCIAL CALENDAR. Monday. S. S. Class —Anola Frank. Research —Mrs. P. B. Thomas. Tuesday. Tri Kappas —Mrs. Avon Burk.

In the meantime Mrs. Haine I has telegraphed Harry, who come ! west on the next express. At th j big pow wow of the Sioux Indians th< ] medicine man prophesies that a while J goddess will come from the eart j to"! deliver them from their oppressors I Pauline, having found another pas- ’ sage from the cave is just emerging I into the fresh air when the Indians, j riding by, discover her and proclaim 1 her to be the goddess. Siie is take: to camp where they try to persuade her to lead an attack upon the white j men. This she refuses to do, and dis I gusted with her, the Indians decide, i to give her the trial by oracle. The result of the trial by the oracle means . certain death for Pauline, as no one j has ever escaped it alive. Harry isd the meantime has arrived at the- j ranch, learned the details, and set outto rescue Pauline. He meets a halfbreed Indian, who has become attach ed to Pauline and finds out that the, J tribe plans to throw his sister over a high bank and roll a large boulder down upon her. He arrives at the base of the precipice just in time to see Pauline start on her fatal descent The big boulder comes tearing, plunging down behind her. There is no time to get Pauline out of the path. To jump himself, means certain death I - yet he arises to the emergency and - I But that would be telling tales out. of school. The pictures show you just , ' what he did and the terrible danger ■ 1 both he and Pauline encountered. ■ There seems to be no limit to the sensational predicaments, in which i Paulino is placed by- the men who are after her fortune. They are resourceful in their villainy and have new 1 schemes to meet every situation. This episode will keep you on the edge right up to the very last picture. It is 1 certainly full of thrills.

TAKING MANY HONORS. The following clipping from the Indiana Student indicates that the Adams county boys at Indiana universityare rapidly coming to the front: “Paul Myers is another member oi the wrestling team who is only in his second year as a varsity wrestler, but who has already distinguished himself on the mat. Myers works at 135 pounds and. although he does not hold the conference championship in his weight, he is classed among the topnotchers in the Big Nine. He made his first appearance as a varsity grappler against Illinois last season when he met the 135-pound conference champion of the 1913 season. Schroeder was one of the veterans of the Illinois squad of mat men, but Mye-s succeeded in holding to a draw. In the Purdue meet at Lafayette he easily won his bout on falls. At the

“t" ■ ~ I conference meet he wone one-third ci a point for Indiana when lie tied wi n two other men for third place in the |||£ 135-pound class. With the expejiett- BH he gained in the conference meet ati I the bouts with the Purdue and Illinois m wrestlers, Myers is expected to slim I greater speed than he did last season. He knows most of the tricks of & mat game and is able to use them « Ci the most crafty men in his class." Mr. Myers, who was recently voted to to membership in the National Jon?. st nalistic Fraternity, the Sigma Delti H Chi, is now acting as desk editor ot t 0 the Indiana Student.
