SENATOR SHIVELY:— Death, the grim monster, who considers neither position or worth, has removed from this life, Benjamin Franklin Shively, senior senator of Indiana, whose death occurred yesterday at Providence hospital in Washington. Though it was known he had been in ill health for many months, the announcement of his death caused a great shock in this state where his thousands of admirers were hoping against hope that he might yet recover and resume his position among the leaders of the nation's lawmakers. Mr. Shively was a truly great man, recognized as one of the brainiest statesmen in public life, whose career is unblemished by a single tint of infidelity to the principles in which he believed and for which he fought. He served three terms in congress and had started upon his second six-year term in the senate. Until a year ago he was one of the most active men in that great body, was chairman of the committee .on foreign relations, a great aid to the president in the framing and enacting of the administration measures, including the tariff law and the new banking law. Not only Indiana mourns the death of this great man. but a nation today bows in grief. He has performed his share of labor for his party and for his government and had it been possible for his life to have been spared a few years longer he would have been further recognized for his great ability. He was a lawyer of high standing, a square man in everything in which he engaged, one whose personality was most striking, a natural

leader of men and his thirty years as a public character were filled with successes and with many deeds well performed. Indiana mourns today the loss of one of her greatest citizens. The days are slipping by and we are not making much headway towards that centenial celebration. This would be a dandy good year to have an Old Home Week, combining it with the celebration of the one hundredth anniversary of the state and the eightieth anniversary of this city and county, but it occurs to us that we have mentioned these facts before and its now up to the public to show some interest

I if they want to be up with the other ninety one counties of the Hoosier state. What say ye? The serious illness of Congressman John A. AL Adair, democratic nominee for governor of Indiana is regretted by his numerous friends in Indlaha and It la sincerely hoped that he will soon completely recover. He became aick during the cloeing days of his recent primary campaign and was scarcely able to finish his tour of the state. As soon as possible he returned to his duties at Washington whefe he seems to have suffered a relapse. His thousands of Indiana friends are anxiously awaiting news of his improvement. The death of Senator Shively will change the political situation in Indiana considerably, as it makes necessary the selection cf two United States senators at the next election. Governor Ralston will appoint a successor Immediately, to serve until next December, when the senatorelect will assume the place to fill out the unexpired term. The governor has so far refused to consider the matter but will no doubt announce his selection within a few days, the general opinion being that he will name Thoihas Taggart, democratic member of the national committee, for the place. The nominees for senator will be chosen at the state convention and it is more than likely that the democrats will name whoever the governor appoints. The nomination of both Watson and New is now predicted for the republicans.

SAVE YOUR SHOES <*- n san Big Shortage of Hides for Better Grade of Shoes Now a Fact. > URGES CLOTH TOPS And Dealers to Push Sale of That Kind—Prices to be Prohibitive. (United Press Service) Indianapolis, Ind., Mar. 15 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —H. V. Hunt, a tanner of Boston, today advised the Indiana Retail Shoe association in convention here, to push the sale of cloth top shoes and help along the movement to make them popular. The war in the old countries, and I the fact that calf skins, from which uppers are made, must be stocked up in the spring and therefore have but one season when the demand is for ail the year round, were given as reasons. "Calfskins are like strawberries,” he said. "They must be plucked when they are ripe. That means in March, April and May, with the supply dwindling until in December It reaches the lowest point of all, and unfortunately this is when manufacturers demand the most for the coming season. "The biggest portion of the European stock came from Russia, which of course is not producing hides to any extent now. "The present high prices of calf leather he said, “will look very cheap soon, unless the use of other materials becomes very extensive.
