Fifty fighters for Decatur. We need them and we have them. Yes. three times fifty, and they are just starting to work. One of these days the result will be very evident. The republicans have not yet explained why they left the old soldier out of their platform. The facts are that about all the decent legislation the veteran has received has come from the democratic party and the republicans did well to admit it by emitting any reference to them in the Chicago declaration. There is one thing awfully hard to understand —if Hughes was so dis tasteful to Roosevelt and Perkins the first week in June why should they change their minds the last week in June? They haven’t. They know what they said about the judge and the men back of him were true but they also think they will be stronger some other time by accepting him now. The people will see through their plaits for carrying water on both shoulders before election day and will support Woodrow Wilson. Just now the republicans are whistling as loud as possible to keep up cour age, and they need it. The democratic congress is pro vidtng for a non partisan tariff com mission to make impartial and thor ough study of every economic fact that may throw light either upon our past or upon our future fiscal policy with regard to the changed and changing conditions under which the imposition of taxes on imports is carried on. We cordially indorse this timely proposal and declare ourselves in sympathy with the principle and purpose of shaping legislation within that field in accordance with clear ly established facts rather than in ac cordance with the demands of selfish interests or upon information provid od largely if not exclusively by them From the Democratic Platform adopt ed at St. Louis. “The nomination of Hughes was the next best thing the republican convention could do after it had refused to nominate me. He was nominated by the ‘professional German-Ameri-cans’ who took him to get rid of me and the ‘German-Americans’ who did that are the most sinister element in our present political situation, must be looked out for and checkmated and they are all for Hughes, who is my ideal of undiluted Americanism — whatever the judge means by that—and will sack those ‘professional Ger-man-Americans’ as soon as he gets a

chance, because two times one are four, any part Is equal to the whole, I am the greatest American citizen, the progressives are a mess of simples. logic is logic and anything 1 do or say is all right."—Tabloid version of the Roosevelt message to his dupes. Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette. But we are sure that Mr. Roosevelt greatly overestimates the president's power when he says that "no administration in our history had done more to relax the spring of the national will and to deaden the national conscience. As a matter of fact, the “spring" has not been relaxed, or the conscience deadened. But something must be pardoned to rhetoric. We lo not believe that the American people are conscious of being in any such desperate morel rendition. Thv really interesting question Is as to the effect of this expositc.y cjistle on the progressives. The organization is. we take it, gone, but there are assets —4.000,000 of them. There may be calculators bold enough to attempt to distribute them, but wc shrink from any responsibility. Perhaps the election in Maine, which occurs on September 11, will throw some light on the problem. If not. ve shall have to wait until the November election —or till enterprising newspapers favor us with their polls. —lndianapolis ftysws. jHliHiwMiwwtwMwuanrringttxcmmi a DOINGS IN SOCIETY ( mitint«cpiitiu»tiiiiiii>uui ni«u>n«x E WEEK'S SOCIAL CALENDAR.

the card party and luncheon yesterday afternoon at the Knights of Columbus hall, for which eighty invitations had been issued. In the receiving line were the hostesses. Mrs. J. S. Colchin. Mrs. Joe Tonnelier and Mrs. Mary Wemhoff. The guests passing within found the several rooms of the commodious hall decorated in bower-like effect. Since it is so near the Fourth of July, the national colors prevailed, and even the bust of Christopher Columbus, who made this country possible, was draped in bunting. The garden-like effect was evident in the branches of blossoms that adorned the walls and large blossoms that hooded the chandeliers. Pedestals and stands supported bowls and jardiniere of roses and other summer garden flowers. The guests were soon absorbed in playing five hundred, although for those who did not play cards bowls of peanuts for a contest were supplied. The little Misses Jeanette Clark and Mary Colchin kept the tally marking an at the end of the card games the first, second and third prizes were found to go to Mrs. Christena Niblick, Mrs. Clara Myers and Mrs. Ralph Amrine. and the slam to Mrs. Minnie Holthouse. At five o’clock the dining room was thrown open for luncheon. Seventeen little tables, immaculate in white lunch cloths, and with crystal vases filled with roses and other garden flowers in red and white, for centerpiece, had places designated for the guests by '•ards adorned with the llnited States shield in the national colors. Favors were little American flags on pins, which floated from the sandwiches, and were worn during the luncheon. The red and white of the flag were also pretty in the brick nut ice cream and cake, and in the other items of the following appetizing and attractively arranged menu: Pimento Cheese Sandwiches Nut Bread Sandwiches Creamed Peas in Patty Rosettes Potato Chips Tomato With Mayonnaise on Lettuce Strawberry Preserves Coffee Ice Cream Cake The bevy of servers included the Misses Bess and Rose Tonnelier, Celeste Wemhoff and Amelia Weber.

As a woman, wife and mother, she was exemplary in all ways,-and fully deserving of the love, friendship and esteem that all her friends entertain for her. Os the seven children born to them, six are living, a son. Frederick, aged two, passing away four years ago Those living are: Glen, now of New London.

Eliza beth. at home, are surviving brother and sisters. o BY WHOSE HAND?” Dave Sterling, foreman and general manager of the Maitland estate, is loved by and loves Helen Maitland his employer’s daughter. The father, however, refused to give his consent until Sterling can show a nest egg of at least SIO,OOO. Sterling has already saved $5,000. He has invented a machine, in which an agent interests a wealthy land owner, Simon Baird. Baird one evening comes to see Sterling, finds some petty flaw in the machine, and flaunts the five SI,OOO hills in Sterling’s face which he had come prepared to spend if the invention were satisfactory. Helen notices that one of these bills had been torn and pasted together again Sterling persuades Baitd to stay over night—in which time he can remedy the defect in the machine—and Baird, attracted by Helen, decides to stay at the Maitland house. A look of hatred appears on the face of the ser vnnt. Kimba. when he sees Baird. Mutual recogniticm takes place between Mrs. Maitland, fear and distrist on the face of the latter, a swift Iqpk of recognition between Baird and Maitland. Baird’s shadow, as he places his wallet on the table before retiring for the night, appears pn the window shade, where it is noticed by Sterling. Mrs. Maitland and Mr. Maitland. who pass by in the garden at intervals a few minutes apart. In the morning, just as Sterling is showing Helen ten SI,OOO bills, a servant, rushed in with word of Baird's murder. Sterling is arrested —the empty wallet and the money throwing suspicion his way. At the trial Helen is first witness—forced to testify against the man she loves, establishing a motive for the crime. Kimba’s testimony brings out the reason for his look of hatred at seeing Baird years before when Maitland and Baird were mining partners. Baird had been inhuman in his treatment of their servant, Kimba. Next—John Maitland’s testimony showing his reason for hating Baird, who had stolen from him his lawful profits in their mining venture. Mrs. Maitland’s testimony brings out the story of how when a singer in a “dance hall” in South Africa. Baird had betrayed and deserted her. After Baird’s departure Maitland falls in love with the girl and marries her. ignorant of her former relations with Baird. Baird, the evening of the murder on meeting the woman again as Maitland’s wife, threatened to tell her husband. He flaunted in her face the five SI,OOO bills which he had refused to give her in years gone by and left them ou the table. Sterling, coming into the room, not knowing from where the money has come, accepts it as a loan from Mrs. Maitland. Her testimony clears Sterling, but the question arises. “Is she lying to save the man her daughter loves?” Mrs. Maitland says she is guilty, which is promptly denied by Sterling, who says he is the guilty one. The question is, "Is he lying to save the mother of the woman he loves?” At the Crystal tonight, 5 and 10 cents. COURT HOUSE NEWS.

SHOWING AT THE REX. The scope of a feature series is enormous, great enough and intricate enough to dampen the ardor of the most ambitious producer. Os course, the cast is the main thing in any feature, but in such a series, requiring the services of a body of people like the "Black Order" in the “Mysteries of Myra.” both M.udio manager and producer have their wo?k cut out for them. The brothers Wharton of Ithaca have probably produced more feature series than any other one company, hence they speak authoritatively. “The average layman, and even the most rabid movie fan," states Mr. Leopold Wharton, “does not seem to realize that every episode of the “Myra” series is authentic. in other words the author has not caused the different characters to act in a certain way merely to make an interesting story. He has not created a lot of weird characters out of his imagination. For instance, we have it on very good authority that the Black Lodge, so vividly portrayed in "The Mysteries,” really exists. Also we have the word of dozens of good men and true that they have seen astral bodies enter and leave living bodies. FOR SALE—A refrigerator. In good condition.
