DILLING 4 ooiiwlNNloWrrt Third DiMtrict H<»HKIiT_MTI %% MITE I HOW GHOSTS DO WALK!— "I have no doubt that the disturbances in .Mexico during the last few years have been due in a greater or Jess degree to an effort on the part of ambitious, cunning men to force intervention and possibly annexation'to the United States. "Intervention in Mexico is. of course, not a matter to be considered lightly, for intervention means war. the destruction of human lives and the expenditure of hundreds of millions. It means, furthermore, the responsibility of the government of 20,000,080 people for no ’-'definite perriod. We are now engaged in governing 10,000.000 aliens as tho result of the Spanish-American war a war which could have been averted if we had exercised a little more patience, patriotism and self-restraint. , "If our speculators in Mexico suffer pecuniary loss as the result of recurring revolutions, that is a mat ter for future consideration, when stable government and peace are fully established in that country. It is not warrant for shedding the blood of Americans. To sacrifice the life of one soldier for all of the dollars investors or speculators have ventured in Mexico would be the supremest criminal folly. "President Wilson is dealing with the situation as best he can. We may not entirely agree that his course is better than that of his distinguished predecessor, nevertheless we should endeavor to hold up his hands. ‘'There should be no difference of ■ opinion as to that. “It is a pretty safe rule when we ' come to deal with grave international problems to put our faith in the president of the United States and follow where he may lead. The president of the United States is a safer guide than sensationalists and the soldiers of fortune.” No, gentle reader, truth and candor 1 forbid our claiming credit for the ‘ above, although "them's our sentiI ments” to the dot. It is. however, taken from a speceh delivered before an editorial association of Indiana in 1913, by the Hon. I Charles Warren Fairbanks, now re- ! publican candidate for the vice presij dency. and roasting Wilson's foreign policy. “How ghosts do walk! —Cincinnati Post. The election will be held three weeks from today and unless something unforseen happens. President Wilson will be re-elected by a vote which now promises to carry with it nearly every state in the union. Mr. Wilsbn has made good and the people of this nation are fair —they will show their appreciation. The million dollar train, loaded with the wives of rich eastern capitalists, touring this country, will stop at Indianapolis on the 31st and th-.;e women will tell the people of the middle west how they ought to vote. No wonder the trip has not been a howling sucess for the republicans who expected them to startle the plain citizens of the nation. They scar -ely know the trials and tribulations and worries of the common peo-ple—-then how can they advise. No there is no harm in Candida: e Hughes traveling in a solid pullman train with colored servants and every | modem convenience. Thats the way his friends —the millionares of Wall street travel —and.they would not permit him to do otherwise—but whit of the laboring man who in some manner, direct or indirect pays for these* luxuries of the rich, and who is asked to vote in to power the party that will serve the rich man fit eve”y turn when the opportunity is presented? We are willing that the vbtei-s compare the records of John A. M. Adair and James I’. Goodrich, the democratic and republican nominees for governor. There is absolutely not a spot against the record of Mr. Adair. He is a high class moral gentleman, a business man who has worked his way up from a poor lad, he has proven a first class servant as the representative in congress ’ from this district and he does not own a dollars worth of stock in any public utility company. There is no reason that we know- < why any

man cannot safely vote for him, As governor he will prove an honest friend to the m-ople. Vote for Adair. | DOINGS IN SOCIETY b WEEK'S SOCIAL CALENDAR. Tuesday. Pythian Needle Club —K. of P. Home.

"Watch your thought when alone, your tongue when with others and your temper always.” The Mite society ladies are busy rutting the finishing touches on the preparations for the annual New England dinner and supper in the M. fi. church diningroom Thursday. Dinner will be twenty-five cents and supper. twenty. The public is cordially invited. Seventeen attended the Ruth Circle of (he Christian church last evening when Fanchon and Jessie Magley of West Monroe street entertained. Preparations for the Penny supper and social in two were further made and other minor business transacted. with Miss Florence Lichtensteiger. president, in the chair. A program committee, comprising Mi <ses Thelma and Dorothy Williams. Vera Eady and others will outline programs for coming meetinrs. While some crocheted and embroidered during the social period, a little imi>rompted program was given. Mrs. Olen Baker gave two readings, one being Marjorie Benton Cooke's humorous reading on an old lady’s speech j in behalf of Woman's Rights. Miss Agnes Gillig gave a very fine description of a negro revival service which she attended at Phoenix, Ariz. during her visit there several years ago. The hostesses were assisted by Miss Huldah Haugk in serving the lunch. The society will meet in two weeks with the Misses Hazel an,'. Stella David and the guests have been asked to come masked for a Hallowe'en frolic. The election of officers came as a dosing feature of the convention of. the Indiana Woman’s Christian Temperance union which has been in annual session at Huntington. The election resulted as follows. Mrs. Culla J. Vahinger, re-elected president; Mrs. Elizabeth Stanley, of Liberty, re-elected vice-president; corresponding secretary. Miss Mary E. Woodward, Fountain City: recording secretary. Mrs. Rose Pearce, Sharpsville; treasurer, Miss Clara Sears. In dianapolis. Several Decatur W. C. T U. members attended. With so broad a field as "Indiana" from which to collect her material, the paper of Miss Nellie Blackburn for the Research club yesterday at. the home of Mrs. Mary Eley was very good. She touched on the historical features, educational interests, benevolent institutions, and other features, and in the subsequent talks by the twenty members present. this was further brought out. Miss Blackburn slated that she would carry out the idea further, in a little guessing contest and brought out pictures of teachers of the early days in Adams county. The greater number of these were of club members who had taught and the -contest proved very amusing, as it was difficult in many instances to reconcile the appearance of the present, day modern woman with the pictures of years ago. Mrs. Will Kremers wfll he hostess next week and current events will be given. Mrs. F. V. Mills and Mrs. John Vail will leave tonight for Colnmbus, (>.. where they will attend the national convention of the Woman's Home Missionary society of the Methodist church. Roth ladies -re active n the socetes of the city, district and conference. The wedding of Miss Be* TonnelI lier, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joe l

i Tonnelller, and Dick Boch will take place tomorrow afternoon at 3:30 o’clock at the St. Mary’s Catholic parsonage. | Mrs. Dan Beery entertained at luncheon last evening for Mrs. R. K. Allison, eon, Robert, ami daughter. Marie, of Indianapolis. ~ COURT - HOUbE NEWte (CONTINUED FROM PAOB ONH) August 18, 1883, sou of Leopold Borns of Ft. Recovery, (,)., to wed Helen E.

Stewart as driver, went to Berne Monday evening where Mr. Erwin and Joseph Walker addressed the Young Men's Democratic club at that place. The hall was filled with voters of that vicinity, who listened attentively to the excellent addresses given. The issues were clearly and fairly discussed and the speakers were enthusiastically applauded by the large audience. ! — w ■» — —— FIRE AT EMMETTS. (United Press Service) Port Huron. Mich., Oct. 17 —(Spec- I ial to Daily Democrat) —Fire today gutted the business section of the village of Emmetts, near here, causing loss to thirteen buildings and con tents.
