We found one gentleman last evening complaining because times are too good, preventing him from employing men to do his work. Can you beat it? Candidate Hughes made a speech to “women only" at Spokane, Wash., yesterday, but he didn’t tell them how he hopes to improve conditions in this land of prosperity He did whisper to them the great and mysterious secret that he would like to be. elected because—-well —just because. ii v The democrat who does not attend the barbecue at Fort Wayne next Saturday will miss one of the biggest events of the political year. Governor Adair will deliver his keynote speech and it will be worth hearing. There will be a great big program that you will enjoy. Get ready to attend the opening of the 1916 campaign. The republicans are still without an issue and are floundering around desperately in efforts to find one. Senator Taggart was first criticised as a “boss.” Now that he has proven his ability and his right to represent the people, he is being criticised for attacking the “pork barrels” and the excessive cost of conducting the government. Some people are certainly hard to please. About the only claim the republican press is making now for the election of Hughes is that they used to have more votes than the democrats and are therefore entitled to hold the offices and in order to accomplish that very great desire they are campaigning against the present administration because a few gents have been moved for cause. Could anything be more inconsistent? It’s a big effort for the seventy guarantors to make a success of Chautauqua week year after year and they are entitled to your support. If you are going you should tell one of the guarantors that you will purchase I tickets from him. It will save a lot of worrying and show a disposition I

Teddy Roosevelt in his letter to the second Chicago convention stated that it was useless for the progressive party to continue, since the democrats had stolen their best “thunder" and enacted these planks into laws, and yet he joins the old Penrose crowd which he knows would if it could tear to pieces every law enacted by the democrats and turn the government back to the Wall street crowd. The teachers of Adams county are in session here this week, the occasion being their annual institute and the program of lectures, discussion and song arranged by Superintendent Christen is one of the best ever offered, The instructors are high class and the several hundred in attendance are apparently enjoying and profiting from the lessons. Decatur welcomes the teachers and is glad i to have them as guests for the week. It would scarcely have seemed possible any time in the past two decades that the Indianapolis News would have a good word for Tom Taggart and yet they are actually boosting him in their editorial columns today. He is indeed a great man to have earned the plaudits of his heretofore most enthusiastic opponent. The leading editorial in today’s pa per devotes a half column to praise for his intelligent and effective work for a business watchfulness on the national treasury. What they say is true and they say it nicely. Mr. Hughes is dodging the big questions of the day, refuses to say* just what action he would have taken on the-great problems which President Wilson has had to face, and in order to make a speech turns his attention to such minor questions as how many republicans have been replaced by democrats. Could anything be of less importance, so long as the men now holding office are conducting the duties in a high class manner as we believe they are? It is only a year dr such a matter since a Mr. Willis, aepublican candidate, was elected governor of Ohio and his first action was to bounce the democrats from office, giving as his excuse that they were not in harmony with the administration. By what higher law are the republicans governed that they have rights which the democrats are no tentitled to? The “jedge” will have to dig up something heavier if he gets much of a “rise" out of the American people this year. ' 'vsta t DOINGS IK SOCIETY l WEEK'S SOCIAL CALENDAR. Tuesday.
