They will cost you more after the gates open and they are worth more. The program is the best one ever offered by this greatest of all Chautauqua organizations and you can't afford to miss it. Get your tickets this week. We have them for sale at this office. Candidate Hughes says he “would like to investigate this administration for about six months." That will be impossible, for he still has about ten weeks to waste scolding it. But he will have the time on his hands for investigating the next one and he can start right in the 4th of March and keep at it until he has satisfied himself whether or not he may continue in his capacity as a shamed and blushing private citizen of the United States, or ought to expatriate himself. —Fort Wayne Jour-nal-Gazette. s.{; ’■ Another big task has been assigned to President Wilson after all other remedies have failed —that of effecting a settlement between the railroad. owners and their striking workmen. ■Well he’s big enough for the job and broad enough to tackle it notwithstanding the fact that politicians are traveling over the country criticizing him and his acts and we believe he will be able to work out a satisfactory ariangement that will avoid or prevent the strike which would result co disastrously to American business and work a hardship upon a (hundred million people. Reports coming from Mexico are to the effect that a change is rapidly coming over the natives of that warstricken country toward this nation and that they are now recognizing the efforts that the administration is making to aid them and that confidence will come now as quickly as did the feeling of hatred. And why not, if you consider that every act has been for the good of the neighboring republic and some day the world will appreciate the strenuous efforts of President Wilson and will * / ■» i i ■'T , rpii’-HMkn ij— I-' ftt — 1I I I COFVWIOHT BY ' ijiTwl \ Wlv'llAn' I *° v ”'s* * so * Come in early and make your selection from 500 woolens and have same tailored (o your measure.

praise him for it, though the republican press will not admit it before election day. With a tariff commission in sight and a child labor law on the books, it’s going to be mighty hard for Albert Jeremiah Beveridge to make a coherent, logical speech against the Wilson administration. These two measures were pets of the phraser from Indiana back In the days when he was a republican senator of the state. They were his pets and he nursed them along for talking purposes just as was the practice of every other republican statesman to nurse pet measures for campaign purposes. but with never an effort at Washington to reduce them to laws. Equipped with his child-labor facts, Albert Jeremiah use I to rant around the country, coining phrases, and sweating down collars, in the belief that he was a statesman. Now he is confronted with the facts that his pei. measures are concreted into laws, and he is out of a job.—Crawfordsville Review. DOINGS IN SOCIETY | WEEK'S SOCIAL CALENDAR. Monday.

WILSON MAY ~ WIN HIS POINT (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONEI Chicago, 111., Aug. 14—(Special to Daily Democrat)—Some western railroads are so well prepared for a strike that they have applications from a sufficient number of skilled operators to operate trains in the event of a walk-out of the four big brotherhoods, W.
