— THE DEMOCRAT i i„ . ■■m. rrtatYTETOMDAT MORNING BY LEW a. ELL'NGHAM, Publisher, fe fc!±= — njJOPBR YEAR IN ADV ANOB. Entered at the postoffice at Decatur, Ind., as second class mail matter. —mi M-i jwii ■ ii in i «- t-tt OFFICIALPAPER OF ADAMS CO. THEY ARE GETTING WISE Postmaster Bryson of Indianapolis is, of«course, a Republican. He was appointed at the request of Senator Beveridge, to whose faction he belongs. Mr. Bryson has recently been down to Washington, where he asserted that “the people of Indiana are for protection;” that the Republican party in the state will recover from its losses next year, and that Mr. Beveridge .will be returned to the senate. Now, we shall see about all this. By i r “protection” Mr. Beveridge’s Indianapolis postmaster evidently means the sort of “protection” that the Republican party has been giving us. “The people of Indiana” are not for that • • i) sort of protection. On the contrary, they have had more than enough of it. What they have had has about put them out of business. It has compelled thousands to wear clothes that they would like to throw into the ragbag. And it has caused many other thousands to go hungry. And all the time the few beneficiaries of this “protection” have worn fine raiment, lived on the best in the. land, main-, tained palaces at home and abroad, and generally waxed fat. They have had the pleasure and the profit of levying their own private tax on all others. The Dingley law gave them this right. The Payne law, now being made, will also give them this right. The people of Indiana are “getting wise’’ to Republican protection. It has dawned upon them that they have misunderstood the meaning of the word as used by Republican politicians and applied by Republican laws. They are willing to pay taxes to the government, but they are going to rebel against being taxed by private indviiduals and corporations. The Republican party will recover no losses by appealing to the people on “protection.” The Democrats will stand for a tariff for revenue—public revenue, not private. And the people of Indiana will stand with them. On. that proposition the people are finally awake and they will stay awake. Teddy has five lions in his belt, and that is going some. We have seen the time in this country when he beat that record. Teddy is nothing if not rank bloodthirsty. Read -the advertisements in the Democrat. They are an indext to about the best town in the universe, and they give expression to the fact that Decatur merchants have the goods and they have the prices. The sugar refining trust are paying large sums of money into the government coffers, which they have swindled Uncle Sam of, in short weights. There ought to be something criminal about these.convictions and then they might be encouraged into being honest. That was a great speech made by Senator Dolliver, of lowa, and almost as good a one was that of Senator Cummins, of the same state. They punctured the Aldrich tariff bill full of holes, and gave many reasons why the interests should not have everything their own way. Senator Shively will likely be heard in the senate in a few days. — . .'... 1 — . From salary, $770; from embezzlement, $2,369.75. For insurance, $245; sent mother, $200; for clothing, food, etc., $1,209.75; for “fast living,” 31,415; this is the footings of the personal ledger of a Chicago bank clerk who pleads guilty- to his follies and is ready to take his “medicine.” How much wiser had he been to live within his income! His story, too, shows that he could easily have appropriated many * times what he actually did take, which Is alesson to. his employers.—*Bouth Bend Timet.

SOMETHING THAT WILL INTEREST THE TOPER The most efficient factor in temperance evolution is the development of individual total abstinence from stimulant beverages. This abstinence is most surely attained when the taste for liquor is eradicated. The object of the Keeley cure, the gold cure, or any other of the advertised cures for Inebriety is to create an aversion to liquor through associating it with some disagreeable drug, whose presence is known only by its resulting nausea. Sometimes these cures are permanently effective, but more often they are not. The morbid’ appetite is liable to return. There a surer method to allay or prevent the morbid craving for stlmulantat, It is easy, inexpensive, wholesome and effective. It is simply to eat plenty of ruit. It has been remarked that no hearty fruit eater ever became a drunkard. The juices and acids of ripe fruit furnish a wholesome excitant to the secretions, they are grateful to the taste and helpful to nutrition. When Aggaziz was once appealed to for a contribution to aid a temperance movement, he replied that if the money was to be expended in vineyards and orchards he would give liberally, but he had* little faith in exhortations against appetite. A practical lesson can be drawn from these hygienic facts. Make the diet largely of fruit. Let the fruit dish be on the table at every ’meal, loaded with ripe, jincooked fruit—whether of tropical or temperate growth matters not so much. Eat It, and encourage children to eat it, not sparingly, but abundantly. It will prevent the formation of a morbid appetite craving for stimulants. Less meat and more vegetables are also advantageous. Not only does the plentiful use of fruit guard against the craving for stimulants, but it wards off. constipation. Certainly apples, grapes and oranges are more pleasant to take than calomel, salts or castor oil. Therefore, eat fruit. —South Send Times.

Governor Marshall handed out six-

teen appointments Saturday and at least made happy that number of the eligible. So far as we* know, the appointments are worthy and acceptable. > A Fort Wayne fellow was arrested over at Decatur for exceeding the speed limit in his automobile. Again he was through with the case he was minus close to 645.00. But he aroused the natives, and it was worth the money.—Bluffton Banner. ' The death of Hon. William L. Penfield will be noted with regret by a number of his acquaintances and admirers here and elsewhere in the state. He lived at Auburn until recent years, when he entered the em;, ploy of the. government and since then has made his residence in Washington. It seems that James H. Boyles and his wife, the notorious Helen Anna Boyle, will get theirs from the Mercer county, Pennsylvania court, and that what they get will keep them safe from placing their soiled fingers upon any child and then holding them for a good fat ransom. It must be hard for courts to arrive at a just punishments for such a criß»e.-> Here’s hoping the city of Elk- ' hart gives the asphalt trust a bump. Acting up therq tyst like they did in Bluffton. Guarantee streets for ten years, the streets wear out, then you find' the 'Original company has sold out to some other company, and the city is stuck —unless protected, . as was Bluffton. Then she is not stuck. —Bluffton Banner. Asphalt streets that wear out in ten years are not worth the price originally paid for their construction. Decatur, as yet, has never put one cent of expense upon reconstruction and the oldest brick street is seventeen pas|. Decatur is a wise bwl, • ' .... < - The first. number of Chairman Mack’s National Monthly is before the public, and after a careful reading, we are convinced that it has a

mission, and deserves to succeed. It is beautifully printed and lllustrated, and the initial number contains much of Interest to eyery Democrat in the nation. The introductory well says that the Democrats need more issues upon which we all can agree, and fewer issues upon which we disagree, and no one knows the truth of this fact more than does the more than six millions of loyal party patriots who have held the party organization during the past sixteen years. We hope that Chairman Mack will succeed and that the National Monthly will become a power for good. The new publication costs one dollar a year, and we hope that many of them will find their way into Adams county homes. The Hon. Charles Beary Landis, late congressman from the Ninth district, has not yet landed another office. Perhaps he now realizes as never before that his famous utterahce about “all sorts of jobs for all sorts of men" in the Republican state convention of 1906 may admit of numerous exceptions. Just now Mr. Langlois only one of millions of unemployed. So far the Democrats In the senate have taken only a small part tn the tariff debates. They doubtless considered that while the Republicans were fighting among themselves it was good policy not to Interfere. Some Democratic senators have made speeches, however. One or two of these might as well have been made by Republicans, as they did not represent the real* Democratic petition. The Democratic party is either a tarparty or' it is nothing so far as the tariff is Concerned. Any Democratic senator or representative who does npt understand this has no business in congress—at least, not as a Democrat. * fINMfiESHHBBHSHHHBI After a long and painful silence Senator N. B. Hawkins has again appeared in the limllght and in an interview from the city published' iu Monday morning’s Muncie Star, he is made to say that he cofftinends Attorney General Bingham for bringing suit against 130 fire insurance companies under the Hawkins anti-trust

law. The whole article appears to have been written with the hope of rqjuvenatliig tfie senator’s very dead congressional chances and closes with the rather amusing statement that “the insurance combination and bridge trust opposed Senator Hawkins actively for congress last tall and helped to defeat him.”—Portland Sun. Affidavits were prepared by City Attorney DeVoss, charging Colchin & Joseph with displaying a wagon load of pineapples in front of their store, contrary to a city ordinance; Mr. Joseph appeared in court this afternoon, and plead guilty and was assessed the minimum fine for exposing wares for sale In this fashion, ten dollars, which he paid. The marshal went to the store in a wagon prior to the arrest of the men to confiscate the goods, but this was not done. This is the first .prosecution under the pure food ordinance.adopt-, ed a ypar ago. „ u • i. , o». 1 iifc. 1 »n V Every Woman Will Ee Interested.:, There has recently begn discovered, an aromatic, pleasant herb cure for, woman’s ills, called Mother Gray’s Australian-Leaf.

Mercer, Pa., May 11.—James H. Boyle, who, with his wife, was convicted of kidnaping Willie Whttla, issued a statement just before he was taken from here to the penitentiary at Pittsburg late yesterday. Boyle alleges that Harry Porker, brother of Mrs. Whttla, mother of the kidnaped boy, murdered Dan Reeble Jr., in Youngstown, 0., in 1895. Boyle declares he saw Forker over the prostrate form of Reeble, with a bundle of letters in his arm; that two of the letters were dropped; that Boyle secured them and demanded ransom for their surrender. Boyle says the money was not paid, after repeated effort to secure it, and that last March be received a letter, unsigned but supposedly from Forker, suggesting the kidnaping of the Whitla boy and the division of the ransom with Forker. This, Boyle alleges, was because Forker could not raise the ransom for the Youngstown letters otherwise, and Forker’s share was to pay the person who did the real kidnaping and. delivered the boy to Boyle at Warren, O. Boyle asserts that he surrendered the alleged incriminating Youngstown letters to Whitla on payment of -the 610,000 rhnsom for the kidnaped boy and is without documentary evidence to prove his assertions. Boyle’s allegation are declared false by Whitla and Forker, who declare nothing occurred as related by. the condemned kidnaper,. Bdyid Was sentenced for life and Mrs. Boyle to # twenty-five years, and, after issuing the statement of the principal, were taken to the western penitentiary of Pennsylvania.
