WILSON IS ENDORSED:— The democratic organization of Cook county, Illinois, is the first to officially endorse President Wilson for a second term, that action having been taken yesterday and the fact was announced in this morning's Chicago Herald in a head that extended entirely across that great paper. The following resolution was adopted with a shout by the members of the executive committee of the democratic party in Cook county and it will meet the approval of a majority of the citizens of this nation at this time at least: "President Wilson lias faithfully and successfully carried out the policies of the democratic party as laid down in the platform adopted by the last national convention at Baltimore. "President Wilson as a peerless leader and statesman and as a true patriot has in these trying times with impartiality upheld the dignity and standing of this country among the nations of the world, protecting with firmness the rights of this country and its citizens and emphasizing at all times the demands of humanity. “In the interest of our country and nation we recommend the renomination of Woodrow Wilson for president of the United States by the next national convention.’’ The lecture yesterday afternoon by Thomas Brooks Fletcher, “The Martyrdom of Fools,” was one of the strong ones of the week and was thoroughly enjoyed by the hundreds who listened to this distinguished editor and king of the platform. Mr. Flecther is the owner and editor of The Tribune, a live newspaper published at Marion, Ohio, and he says things in a most convincing manner. While you are thankihg other people for making the Chautauqua possible, don’t forget that Ed Ahr donated the use of the grounds and it meant a direct loss to him of about fifty dol-

The big event s cloaed last evening with the moat deV lighti’ul concert aver given la thia city will: Miss Nielsan. world w aouned prima dona as the star parformer, and assisted by an able company. The entire program thia year • was high class, much better than ever • before according to the general verdict ( of those who attended. The weather , while not perfect did not Interfere • greatly and the program was given ’ Just as advertised. It was a big week • of entertaining, interesting, uplifting eveuts and the people of this common- ■ ity thoroughly enjoyed it. Decatur will have the Redpath , Chautauqua next year and probably several years after that time if the plan now adopted proves satisfactory i as is expected. Seventy-five men and women signed the contract to take ten tickets each and dispose of them or pay for them. With this contract back of them a dozen men signed the guarantee and contract with the Redpath company, and when the fact was announced by the superintendent, the applause given left no doubt as to the popularity of the annual week of entertainment. The plan used this year is an Improvement over the pledge idea used formerly, avoiding the pleading which took up much time from the program. It is believed it will prove more effective, for there should be seventy-five workers now instead of half a dozen and in addition the ladies of the Improvement Society will aid in every way they can in the sale.

KILLED IN STRIKE RIOT. Bayonne, N. J„ July 21—(Special to ’■ Daily Democrat) -One man was shot t- th death, several others hit by stray '■ bullets and many seriously hurt by ■ flying bricks In a riot in the streets 8 today between 1,500 striking employes I- of the Standard Oil company and 100 i* policemen. Windows were shattered l - for blocks around by missiles. The '• riot occurred in front of the Tidewa 1 ter company's plant. Every policeman in Bayonne was rushed to the scene and the chief of police imnie- ’ diately swore in 100 deputies. One t officer’s horse was shot from under t him, The police were instructed not ( to fire on the strikers. • Officials this afternoon were ser- > iously considering asking Governor Fielder to call out the state militia |to handle the situation. At the re- ( quest of the mayor. Sheriff Kinkead t swore in 200 deputies. The sheriff ! himself is on the ground in charge ! of them. Every member of the police deiuirtment has been assigned to duty in the strike district. Deputies will be placed on beats in other portions of the city. o POLICE COURT After having been liberated from' jail for only twelve hours. Red Knoff was again arrested by Policeman Rey- ' nolds on a charge of public intoxication. Knoff was incarcerated two weeks ago and his term of confinement was up yesterday morning. Durink the day he managed to get on a good sized package however and last evening was picked up on Sixth street. He was taken before Mayor Christen this morning and ordered to hunt up the shortest route out of ths elty limits and then keep on going. In last evening’s police notes it was stated that Dr. C. S. Clark received a fine of $1 and costs amounting to sll for parking his automobile on Second street. As there are no costs in a city case, this was an error and only the amount of the fine was assessed. A. S. Keller, real estate dealer, the fourth man to be summoned ber fore Mayor Christen for violation of the automobile law'. appeared this afternoon on the charge of operating his automobile without a license, the charge being made by Special Officer Druly. The evidence brought out showed that Keller had operated his machine for the past six months, had applied for a license only last week and received it this morning. He had been warned by Officer Druly, however, before the arrest was made, not to appear on the street without his license. He was found guilty of the charge and was assessed the minimum of one cent and costs, amounting to $lO.Ol, which he paid. Q_ HEAR ARGUMENTS SATURDAY.

IN WASHINGTON ' (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) r eighteen to twenty horses. The on s ginoa turn all the machinery that cuts s threshes and sacks the grain which in 1 left on the tialds for storage. Thf 1 horses just used to draw the machln A ery. Home of the large reapers have . no engines; then it takes from thirty I to thirty-six horses to do the work ■ Just imagine one man driving thirty ) six horses! The first two rows next * the machine are six horses abreast t and tapers down until there are three in the lead. We will spend some time out on the ranch where we have been especially invited. On this ranch there are eleven hundred acres of 1 wheat. We are anticipating an elegant time. The people are very pro- ' gressive. Most all use electricity for lighting and cooking. The current is from a plant at Little Fall, which furnishes electricity for Spokane and all ' the surrounding towns. They are taking time by the forelock and looking forward to the growing population, so the Washington Water Power company is installing an immense dam at Long Lake. It is the largest dam in the world, constructed entirely of steel and concrete. They are now employing 500 men. We motored out last Sunday, fifty miles away. We took note of -the big machinery which has been installed. Os the four 22,500 horse power turbines two of them are installed and ready for use. Two can be installed whenever needed. The water head is 168 feet, and the dam is complete with the exception of headgates, two of which are being held up in Germany. If it becomes necessary to use all four turbines these two gates will be needed to false the water high enough to provide power for them. All of thia was carefully explained to us by two Purdue university students, who are employed up there. So the people need never fear for electricity. On day we motored to Spokane, fifty-two miles across the country, where we visited relatives and called on Dr. and Mrs. Freeman. We found Mrs. Freeman in the best of health and spirits, but the doctor not so well. They are elegantly located, very prosperous and perfectly satisfied with their western home. Clara and Ben are both happily mar ried. living in Spokane. Will lives in Seattle, where he has a very lucrative position. When I came up to Washington I took the Shasta route, which is considered the finest scenery in America., It certainly was the crowning experience of my trip so far. At the Shasta Springs the train stopped twenty minutes in order to give the passengers a chance to get a refreshing drink of the mineral water. I have been in the very best of health ever since 1 left home, with the exception that I became a little dizzy at the foot of Shasta mountains, but it was of so short duration that I diagnosed it as scenic indigestion. On my return trip to San Francisco I will stop at Seattle where I have had a very pressing invitation from Mrs. Flo Spencer Gardner to visit her in her home. It is needless to say that I have accepted. Undoubtedly we will revel in past events, as we were girlhood friends. Will sail on the Great Northern at Portland for ’Frisco. That will be an 800-mile ocean trip and that will be sufficient experience in that line. Will finish my stay at ’Frisco and then go to Los Angeles and visit the Decatur colony and take in the sights there and San Diego fair. The last visit in California will be in San Bernardino, wheiti I will visit a cousin, who is editor of a paper published there. Then homeward-bound. Most respectfully, MARY C. ELEY. o_ Dr. J. W. Vizard of Pleasant Mills was a business visitor in Decatur this afternoon. Trustee and Mrs. Edward France of St. Mary’s township were looking up friends and acquaintances here this afternoon, and attending to business matters. Miss Bertha Heller of theautomobile department of the secretary of state’s office, Indianapolis, is here for a two weeks' visit with her parents and other relatives and friends. Quite a crowd is at the south side tennis courts this afternon watching the tournament now in progress between the teams of Decatur. Berne, a;lowercmfwy shrill u cmfwyp mfwy Geneva and Bluffton. In the August Woman’s Home Com panion, Grace Margaret Gould, fashion I editor of that publication, devotes a . page to “Little Dress Vanities.” These . litle vanities she advocates in modified form, hut she is emphatically opposed > to extremes. Folowing is an extract | from what she has to say on this sub i je<t: “Don't scorn the little frivol! . tion of dress. They often give thi ■ soft, feminine note to a costume, am ( really its charm. Stiff, severe effecti a in dress many times proclaim a char ' acter narrow and over-prim. The lov ‘ able woman just naturally wants tc , prink a bit and make herself look het prettiest.”
