FIRST AIR LINE Wednesday, June 22, 1910, is a date which will be famed in thedecades and centuries to come, because on that day the first scnecuied trip was made in an airship for the purpose of carrying passengers. The big ship—and it is big—being 485 feet long and fortysix feet wide —is the Deutchland, owned by Count Zeppelin, who was himself at the helm. It flew from Friedrichshafen to Dusselforf, Germany, 300 miles, in nine hours, and from now on will make regular runs each day. Another census taking season yill mark a wonderful change in this land when all principal cities will likely be connected by air lines. DENOUNCED THE TARIFF BOARD Senator Shively has denounced the appropriation of ?ztrt),uvu to pay the expenses of President Taft’s tariff board —the board which Senator Beveridge approves and which Senator Aldrich says will be able, by the use of that >250,000, to justify the passage of the Payne-Aldrich tariff law. Mr. Shively said: “From the democratic standpoint it is irrevelent, immaterial and inconsequential to the proper exercise of the federal taxing power. “Tariffs, like other taxes, transfer property; they/io not produce it. The difference between the cost of the article to the buyer in the markpt and what it would cost him to produce or fabricate it himself is the consideration that makes trade. It is what makes commerce a time-saving, laborsaving, capital-saving institution. “The theory on which congress is asked to vote this appropriation is that the wider the difference of cost in a given case, the heavier must be the draft on the profits and earnings of the nonprotected, nonprotectable, self-helping, self-sustaining industries, occupations and professions of the country to make profitable the otherwise unprofitable venture against which such differences should appear. Moreover, it is advanced only on the motion of the weakness, feebleness and helplessness of the American people, and their inability to successfully compete with the outside world. 1 only add that this is a total misinterpretation of the economic history of the country from the early colonial days to the present hour,” THE EDITORS HELD FORTH AT FRENCH LICK The meeting of the Indiana Democratic Editorial Association at French iwtick was one or the most delightful . ever held, being devoted chiefly to the many social engagements arranged for the eritorial members and the many other Indianians who were there during the three days’ meeting. But one business session was held, and that was short and sweet. President Metsker of the Plymouth Democrat, made an ideal president of the I association, and his address at the banquet was one of the best ever heard by the association. The Democrat has so often told its 7 ~"Tea3ers of the beauties of the French Lick valley as well as of the benefits and curing qualities or the waters " ' there, that anything we might say now would be but a repetition. If anything it is more beautiful than t* *. ever and during all the seasons of the year the French Lick Springs hotel is crowded to the squeezing point with people from all quarters of the globe, oome go<~.g f'.ere for the benefits derived from the treatment received, and others simply for enjoyment and rest. This company is now the hole property of the Hon. E Thomas Taggart, which embraces over eight hundred acres of land ( which, with the improvements is an asset valued at two million dollars.

Upon no part of this vast estate is there a sign of the notorious gambling 1 sd often headlined in the metropolitan press. There is not one thing upon all this property that cou’d offend the fine sense of propriety of any man, woman or child in the universe. Nor is Mr. Taggart directly or indirectly connected with anything of this sort and as far as Ye know he never has been. The banquet held in the main dining room was most delightful. The toasts were splendid, the principal speech of the evening being made by the Hon. John W. Kern, candidate for United States senator. It was his first public address of any sort since his endorsement by the democratic state convention. He gave ample evidence that he was the same old party wheel-horse as of old, and that he will be active and a great source of strength to the democrats in this campaign. He was given a great reception by the democratic editors of the state, with whom he has long been a favorite. Politics and politicians were as thick as fleas upon a dog’s back. Aside from the members of the editorial association there were present most of the candidates upon the state ticket, many-of the members of the state committee and other democrats from all. sections of the state. Conditions were discussed, everyone bringing a glowing account of the brigfit prospects for democratic success. There never was a time when the Indiana democracy were as enthusiastic, nor a time when they were so completely harmonious anl of one mind. All this means much, it means success providing those that see visions of a victory now, will bend their enegries for a victory in November. All the newspaper boys in Indiana take their hat off to Hon. Thomas Taggart and his gracious wife for one of the best times of their life. The three days’ meeting of the association in 1910 will long be remembered by-them and their families as one of the bright spots in their lives. NAME THE ONE INSURGENT SENATOR “The closing hours of the debate tonight were enlivened by the antics of one of the insurgent senators, who, outside of Washington, is regarded as a paragon or virtue. He had imbibed too freely of the flowing bowl, and insisted on making a speech. It was with the.greatest difficulty that his colleagues were able to keep him under reasonable control.”—Washington Correspondent New York Tribune, June 4th. This occurred nearly a month ago and not one of the partisan republican newspapers of Indiana- have called for the count, and demanded of the Tribune correspondent the name of the insurgent senator who wore the flowing bowl. What a reflection upon the six insurgent senators, and then to think that instead of eight there is but one to name. The partisan republican press may contend that this Tribune correspondent is an unknown quantity in Indiana and therefore unworthy of even newspaper notice, but they forget that one of six insurgent senators and not the Tribune correspondent is charged with a grave -if not serious offense. Just think who this might be? As it stands it is a reflection on every one of the six insurgent senators, and the Lord knows that we can not afford to have any reflections upon this branch of republicanism or its standard bearers this year. Name the one. Sounds very much as if we were becoming considerably “boss-ridden" when a state central committee notifies a spell-binder that the committee must have the privilege of blue-pen-ciling his remarks before he makes any speches. However, the party would be in better shape had the blue pencil been vigorously used upon the occasion of the state republican convention. — Huntington Morning Times, Rep. The hot weather or last week had one good; effect, at least —it brought the’ long session ol congress to a close.

i Mr. Taft says that the session re- ; deemed all of the republican party’s i campaign pledges—that he succeeded i in getting accdmpllshed what other i ’presidents work a whole term on. , Speaker Cannon asserts that “more ' and better" work was dona than at any session of his thirty-five years of '■ congressional life. Such statements as these are not only open to suspicion, but they are not borne' out by the facts. Whether any good at all will grow out of the session is doubtful. On the other hand it is known that the burdens of'the people have been enormously increased and that they will have to bend lower than ever before under the load that has been put upon their shoulders. Not only did this session spend more money than any preceding one, but the tariff law that was passed enlarges the graft that other republican congresses bestowed. It will not be long until the full measure of the mischief accomplished will be made plain to the country. Very excellent from a democratic standpoint in 1910, it is true, but those not warped by partisanship will contend that when a man cannot subscribe to his party platform and finds what he can subscribe to in the platform of the opposition, it is his duty as a good citizen to support that opposition.—Fort Wayne News. In other words if Senator Beveridge could not subscribe to the republican Payne-Aldrich tariff law, he should have supported the democrats and he should support them now. We think so, too. It is to be announced—let the day be blessed —that Uncle Joe is to be vouchsafed an undisturbed sitting in his high chair unto the end of the session. Prevailed over by the charitable Taft, the wicked insurgents have covenanted not to throw him out, but let him expire by the natural sources upon which congress runs. Uncle Joe is going back to his Danville nephews and nieces there to stand for a re-election. It is hardly to be doubted that they wiH treat thelp venerable Nunky Joe with kindness and affectionate regard. But there will be stop. Congress no more for him will hold the honors of the puissant and the distinctions of the mighty. He wilt not sit upon his omnipotent throne to receive the cringing suit for favor by the humbled and the. prostrate. He will take a plain sent and when he wants to be heard he will, as is the erstwhile days when his gldry was undawned, respectfully rise and say “Mr. Speaker.” Where* upon he may be heard, and he may not 6b heard. Uncle Joe he long may be, but he is to become merely the common or garden variety.of statesmen.—Fort Wayne Sentinel. Though Governor Harmon preferred it otherwise, the democratic/state convention of Ohio endorsed him for the presidency Ip 1912. The plank to that effect read as follows: “We invite the attention of the nation to Judson Harmon and the work he is doing in Oh jo. Two years hence this will have been completed, then we can spare him for larger duties. He believes that guilt is personal —is acting on the belief at home and would act upon it in larger, fields. A high sense of duty provides his only motive for official actions and bis sense of justice alone compels judgment. Firmness and strength mark him the man to supplant vacillation and weakness. The nation needs a real man and Ohio democracy here presents and endorses tor the presidency in 1912 Judson Harmon.” It is a little hard for one man to be punished for the sins of his associates; but the prostration of Congressman Barnhart points a moral for the ueiniquency ot congress. Had that body acted with decent promptitude and a sole regard for the public good, it could have finished all its work a month ago, and been out of Washington before the heat came on. The eternal dilly-dallying and senseless procrastination of duty which have characterized its sessions, deserve both -. ensure and punishment—only, it would have been more equitable to — -——. ~ ,

R. Marshall as the leader, Allen county ran up a 1 majority Os from 4,06 G to 5,000. Thjs year, with the prospect of Marshall's candidacy for president as a stimulus, 1 it ought to go above that figure. It will not fall below an .average of s,ooo.—Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette. k esamaaaessssaß Uncle Joe Cannon is defying his little band of Insurgents and openly confessing that he is a candidate for congress in his district again and that after his election thereto and providing the next congress has a majority of republicans and Insurgents, he will again be a candidate for speaker. You cannot lose Uncle Joe. Senator Beveridge, it is reported, recently told a friend that the democrats would carry Ohio this year by 20,000 and Illinois by 50,000, but that Indiana would go republican by 40,000 —all because the republicans of Indiana had a LEADER. Mr. Beveridge’s traditional modesty prevented him giving the name of that leader, but he did not mean Fairbanks, Hemenway Watson, Durbin or any other person saving and excepting the Hon. Al bert J. Beveridge. It will be noticed that Senator Beveridge is not so rantanerous as he was about the time he held his state convention, and. there are those who are now saying that he Is sorry that he spoke. It is evident that were the state convention to be held now, the tale would be different. Senator Beveridge will learn some things about statesmanship that he never knew before, and one of them will be that even Senator Beveridge is nbt bigger or better than his party. So much good in the way of changed policies and methods in the management of the office of governor In Indiana has resulted since the election of Thomas R. Marshall that the people ot the state feel that there would be additional benefit from sending a full quota of democratic officers to Indianapolis. Thousands of dollars have been saved to the tax payers by the lopping off of needless appropriations, dispensing with and the cutting off of wastes in the running of state Institutions. In dealing with the school book law the governor has saved the people thousands without impairing the efficiency of the schools and in his every act he has taken steps to have the business of the state run .in accordance with business principles and not for selfish or sentimepial purposes. .Such a record made with a set of officials out of sympathy with him makes the demand strong for friendly officers. — Columbia City Post. ■SSBSSSHSSESES3BB A FRIGHTFUL WRECK of train, automobile or buggy may cause cuts, bruises, abrasions, sprains or wounds that demand Bucklen’s Arnica Balve —earth’s greatfest hefaler.

Never did little folk—and older ones, too, for that matter —enjoy themselves more than at St Joseph’s school picnic given Tuesday at Maple Grove park. Every one of the interurban cars leaving here every half hour Tuesday were filled to the utmost with picnickers, and those who could not spend the entire day there went to join the other members of the family at the noon-hour dinner, or to spend the afternoon. Base ball games, and other amusements of all kinds were in evidence and the day closed all too soon for all. The attendance at the Presbyterian Ladies* Missionary social Tuesday afternoon was very good. The social was given in the church parlors, which were tastefully decorated with vases of garden flowers, making a very homelike appearance. Mrs. Atz was hostess, assisted by the Misses Rose Smith, Florence Sprunger and Jean Lutz. The lesson study was on the -evangelization of the negro, and after this period, a pastry sale was held. Refreshments of ice' cream, cake and lemonade were served. Decatur was largely represented among the one hundred or more who attended the dance given at the Andrew Miller home south of the city last evening. ' The dance was/given in the big, roomy barn,' which was ! gnted with many Japanese' lanterns, packing quite a pleasing effect. Music was furnished by an orchestra, including John Geary, Lew Rumschlag, John Weber and others, and the evening was one of rare pleasure. Mr. and Mrs. Hosea Ray, on Rural i Route No. 6, Decatur entertained a . large fishing party Thursday. A good time and plenty of fish is reported. Refreshments were served for dinner and supper.
