While Albert W. Wlshard was in New York he ‘gave out his opinion on Indiana politics. He said: "In our state the democratic leaders are largely to blame for conditions there and I am free to say that I think they have seen their day for some time ' to come. Senator Jim Hemenway is ' a thorougn leader, a man who knew f politics and who knew how to organ- - Ise republican forces in our state, but s they chose to brush him aside. lam I very confident that ex-Governor| W. 7 Taylor y)urbin will be the next repubfrom Indiana and that ■ he will succeed Senator Beveridge, . who is not only money mad, but who iis drunk with political power. He » controls all the federal patronage out , our way. You know there is an old i feeling among politicians that the man i who controls the pap wields the ax i with which he cuts himself down. With every man he makes a post- . master he makes from 100 to 1,000 i enemies. They never forget The same is true of all government appointees. Hence, looking Into the fui ture, I cannot fail to see my old friend Albert W. Beveridge ‘a slipplm off his i* footsteps.” *. 7 —— l .. o ' t SENATOR SHIVELY’S GOOD TURN Washington, July 6.—Senator Shively made a ten-strike when he saved the United States government >16,000 a year. This feat was accomplished in about five minute’s time. The junior fodlana senator called attention to the salary of 110,000 a year which it was proposed to pay the members of the customs court He said this salary is too high. He pointed out that the customs judges will deal with only one line of casta and will not need to be general experts in the law, for which United State circuit judges, who have the broadest scope of duties, receive only |7,000 a year from the government. He moved that the salaries of the customs judges be fixed at >7,000 instead of >IO,OOO. His argument made such an impression that Senator Aldrich accepted the amendment withjout any quibbling. There ape'fo be five judges of the customs court —■—o 1 • Geneva, Indiana, July 6.—(Special to Daily Democrat)—The best service of the kind ever held here was the patriotic day exercises on Sunday, July Fourth.

Early in the day delegations from every part of Adams county presented themselves and at nine o’clock the procession formed preparatory to the march to Lehman’s grove. The procession was more than a half mile in length and represented more than one thousand of the ardent workers in the Sunday school mission. Thel morning pro-

gram was cleverly rendered at the grove, George M. Burilie, state field worker, ,delivering a powerful address. Excellent music whs also furnished. The heavy clouds perspired late in the morning and the promoters of the convention found it necessary to seek other quarters for the afternoon program. The beautiful and spacious Mennonite church was secured and the remainder of the program was carried out to the letter. In the afternoon Rev. Aaron Worth of Fountain City, discoursed patriotically to the vast assemblage and ’the exercises of the day were dispatched to the complete satisfaction of all Who were in attendance. The Geneva and Berne bands furnished music and other special music was furnished. At the close of the program a vote was taken to ascertain whether or not the annual Sunday school picnic would hereafter be held on the Fourth of July resulting in an unanimous vote jin the affirmative. Immediately after the Sunday school convention concluded the town of Berne gave vent to its patriotic inclinations by celebrating royally. The band furnished very inspiring music, a water battle was pulled off and fireworks were displayed. The ball game and parade of course were' called off. 2—7 !*- Desirous of serving his congregation and complying with the request of a friend simultaneously, Rev. Sherman Powell planned a flying trip to Redkey Sunday morning, where he arrived In due time to preach the funeral of the late Mrs. Charles Ritter, who had died a few days previous. Rev. Powell had prepared a sermon upon the subject of “Bribery’’ to be delivered Sunday morning. Meantime he received word from Redkey to tile effect that Mrs. Ritter had died and that she requested that he preach her funeral, the time having been set for Sunday afternoon. Rev. Powell, agfiresive as he is, began negotiations whereby he could serve his congiega* tion and also get to Redkey. W. H. Fledderjonann' gladly consented to convey the minister and his wife to Portland in his automobile and the party started immediately after the service here, arriving in Portland two minutes before time to board the interurban for thp above named place. It was a flying trip and worked successfully. Bev. Powell and wife returned to the city last evening. ..z ■,... - . •' j. .-V . , J

uu v* trovernor who so regarded as the father rftte taw, has been engaged by the AntiSaloon league to draw up a brief,replying to toe one filed fo:“the Pherson case from Noblesville. Th? part taken by Hgtiiy and Bingham in the last campaign still causes the republican leaders to grit their teeth in anger. The general understanding that th(s notable pair of temperance agitators have aspirations for still higher honors at the hands of the republican party is also very galling to the men who made the fight for "Jim" Watson and "Jim” Hemenway last year. Bingham is practically an avowed candidate for governor, while Hanly is regarded as the Anti-Saloon league candidate for the United States senate to succeed Albert Jeremiah Beveridge. The official organ of the Anti-Saloon league recently referred to Hanly as one of the greatest "constructive statesmen” of the age, and proved it by declaring that he had sacrificed his party tor the cause of ( temperance. It is not known whether the Anil-Saloon league has entered into any definite arrangements with Hanly to defend the local option lav in the numerous cases that have been filed to determine whether or not it is valid, but it is reported that the league is urging him to write a brief In the McPherson case. Superintendent Shumaker and R. C. Minton, attorney for the league, are confident that there Is po chance for the law being declared unconstitutional, but it is believed; that-they are foountinglargely on public sentiment having weight with the supreme cqurt It ta a fact, they admit, that the supreme courts of Pennsylvania and three other states have declared a simitar county option tew unconstitutional.

Geneva, Ind., July 6.—(Special to the Daily Democrat)—The only accident during the day of pleasure at

Saturday’s celebration of the Fourth, occurred at nine p’dock Saturday evening, right at the close of a long Hay of festivities. . The victim of the accident was Forrest Deltach, the nine years old eon of Mr. and Mrs. F. C. Deitach, who undertook to examine with a match one of the pieces of fireworks. It was thought that the powder had all been removed from the but enough remained to badly burn young Deitsch’s' face, remove his eyelashes and for a time It was thought that he was in danger of losing his eyesitfiL Dr. Price the attending physician, has been constant in his attention, and bulletin is to the infect that the boy will see all right. This fact removed a large chunk of anxiety as everybody in Geneva sympathized with the boy and his father and mother. The balloon ascension was a little bit better than anything that ever happened in the county. The ascension has been measured out to be a mile high, the parachute landing a mile and a half southwest of GOnevp., while the balloon proper found'’’the earth one mile south of Briant and seven miles from Geneva. It was a dandy ascension and will be talked about In Geneva tor years to come. Ralph Stout got the goose. Among the prises given was a handsome rocker to the oldest married couple and It was won by Esq. George R. Dickerson and wife, who hate stayed married for flfty-elgty years. The second prize was another rocker and it went to Mr. and Mrs. E. J. W. Lindsey, who have been married for fifty-two years. Billy Gee won a hundred pounds of Geneva flour for fostering the largest family, which including himself and wife numbers eleven. This was the last count, but no reports nave beep made tor several days. The oldest offspring is eighteen years, and the youngest is sixteen months. Billy has plenty of use for the flour, all right, f The business men of Geneva are to be congratulated tor their generosity and tor their liberality In giving the people of Geneva and vicinity a royal good time on the Fourth, the best celebration ever given in Geneva. Everything moved off like clock work, and as one of the live ones said, we are proud of our business men who live inland boost the best town of its size in this broad land of ours. This is going some. Dr. O. M.
