'->r '■ !». . '(■ l • 1 .ft Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 14-HSpec-lal to Dally Democrat)—lndiana democrats were greatly pleased yesterday with the announcement of the big I democratic victory in Maine—a state pie have awakened to the fact that this system Is the source of the vast aggregations of capital and private fortunes in this country. “The insurgent vote discloses that the voter is going to put on the republican ticket, if he can, a man who will help to reduce the amount of protection. It means also that large numbers of these voters will vote the democratic ticket. It means that they are going to take a little relief if they have to, but they are going to take all the relief they can get. It means that they are going to give the democrats a chance on the tariff for revenue. If it is a failure it can be easily changed. wheer the repumicans have for years had things their own way. With a democratic governorn and with at least two democratic congressmen assured on the race' of the early returns, Indiana democrats find their estimate of political conditions confirmed, and in a similar result in Indiana corespondingly increased. Governor Marsha’l and John W. Kern, democratic nominee for United States senator, are among those who rejoice in the Maine victory. , “The democratic victory in Maine means that the confidence of the people in a protective system, as a system, has been shaken," said Governor Marshall. “It means that the peo“The average wage-earner and man of salary is now so near starvation owing to the high price of liv- . ing, contribute to by the protective tariff, that so-called ‘starvation’ doesn’t scare him any more. He eats beans three times a week now and he is willing to run the risk of being compelled to eat them six days a week if thereby he can stop the rich from growing richer and the poor from growing poorer. “The result in Maine is a rebuke also to extravagance in public affairs. Mr. Aldrich and Mr. Taft said they could cut expenses 1300,000,000 each year and not impair the department of the public service, but they failed to do it. The average man does pot realize that every two years the general government spends' more money than the entire tax duplicates, both real and of the state of Indiana. He fails to remember that if all the corn raised in Americi were dumped each year into the United States treasury the revenue from it at 50 cents per bushel, would not run, the government each year. He is tired of a system which gives back to the manufacturer all the duties paid on raw material when manufactured and sent out of the country (except 1 per cent) while he himself pays the manufacturer the full tariff on all goods so manufactured and sold in this country. The government authorities tell the people what they have collected, but they do not tell what they have paid back.” Mr. Kern sees also, a return to economy and an earnest ciesire for tariff reform in the Maine election. “The democratic victory in Maine after twenty-nine years of defeat is highly gratifying to the democrats throughout the country,” said Mr. Kern. “If is especially gratifying because the victory seems so complete 7 and overwhelming. This election, taken in connection with the' election in Vermont, and the special congressional elections in Massachusetts and New York, indicates a desire on the part of the to return to economical government and to the principle that thp burden of taxation shall not be greater than the necessities of the government. The battle in Maine was between the democrats and the republican party, and the balk tie in Indiana iff between the same parties. The question in both Instances is this: Are the people satisfied with republican administration?’’ \ Old Adams County Bank vs. Decatur Filler Co,, note and receiver, J.

Miss Parent is privileged to attend the twenty-first International Eucharistic Congress held there this week, which is drawing Catholics: from every part of the world to that city to Join in the great union partakingf of the Lord’s Supper. Miss Parent wrote of the beauty of the decorations which the city put on in honor of the occasion. At every half square pedestals were built for the holding of statues, square pedestals were built along the principal streets, where the processions were to pass, seats or benches were built for the accommodation of the throngs, and these sold anywhere from one to ten dollars a seat, so great were the demand. The Eueharistslc congress was opened in St. James’ beautiful cathedral in the presence of several hundred archbishops,, bishops and priests. Perhaps the most "distinguished visitors is the papal legatee, Vincenzo Vannutelli, with his suite df attendants. - O" Mrs. Fied Schafer entertained Mrs. L. W. A.

jt _ j wrlfh iU - _j Kla I To the Decatur Democrat: I have spent three weeks with my son, Carl, and Tony Hackmann. They have a farm -of 648 acres, the soil of which is a black vegetable loam, easily worked and very productive, yielding as much as thirty-five to fortyseven bushels per acre of wheat, and oats as much as Beventy-flve to one hundred bushels. The boys have broken 500 acres and will have the same ready for crops next year, which, if as good aB this year (this being an off year here), will produce a crop of from 16,000 to 20,000 bushels. The next year they expect to have all of the 640 acres in a crop. Then, lg my opinion, they are better fixed for farming than bur fathers were in Adams county in twenty-five years. The days are long and warm, and the nights cool and pleasant. There are no electrical storms, cyclones or blizzards. ''The climate is dry, exhilarating, healthful and bracing. The air is clear and pure, and is claimed to contain a large proportion dt ozone, the natural air purlfyer, which accounts for the total absence of rust on grass in this locality. I have Been sections of heavy wheat, and not a handful of lodged grain: Shocking prain is like stacking four-foot wood, the sheaves being so even and solid. I helped two weeks in the grain fields, and all that time I scarcely sweat a particle and never thought of finding the shade, and seldom getting thirsty. Vegetables ‘of all kinds do well. I never saw finer potatoes s than are raised here. Tony Hackmann cut 100 acres of oats with an eight-foot binder in five fays, and during that time the horses scarcely sweat a particle, The files that are such a pest to stock in, Indiana are scarcely seen here. That accounts for- the cattle looking so well. The roads in this locality are graded in fine shape, and are ideal for the automobillst. Water is good. Schools and churches are in every locality, and are up to the standard. For those who are fond of hunting, the wild' chicken, geese and ducks are in . great numbers. There are no homeJ stead* to be bad ?n tbi* locality. bat good lapd can be bought for from sl7 to $27 per acre. Those who came here five years ago and took homesteads of 160 acres are now asking from $2,600 to $4,000 for the same. There are good chances for the man with a little money and lots of “git-up-and-git.” Land is advancing in price. What you could buy for sl6; last March they are now asking $22.50 j for (unimproved land I mean). With best wishes to all, I am f Yours truly, J. C. MOSES. — — —o — — FRANK BELL AT HOSPITAL.

Tuesday morning he will undergo an operation for hernia, the operation to be performed by Dr. Porter. , ‘O ; Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 13— (Special to Daily Democrat) —Senator Beverlgde’s speech to veterans of the Civil war at the Marion club last night was not attended by the Indianapolis vet"erans who know about the snub administered by the senator last winter to Major W. W. Robbins and a com* panoan, who appeared before him representing more than 4,000 Indiana veterans. '< Major Robbins „does not feel that it was a personal affront;, since he visited the senator in behalf of others. It is 4he 4,000 veterans of Indiana who were affronted, he believes, and for this reason he has prepared a statement telling just what occurred, So (hat the veterans of Indiana may judge for themselves. “I cannot conceive for what purpose Senator Beveridge would desire to address the old soldiers,”^ said Major Robbins, “unless to make promises, for truly he could not commend himself for anything he has done in the past for the veterans. “I was one of two members of a committee which waited on him when he was here last winter. Our mission was to present to him a petition bearing the names of more than 4,000 exsoldiers, asking for the enactment of a dollar-a-day pension law. . ' “We, the committee, waited *or an hour and a half before we were admitted to his presence. We presented to him the petition of our comrades, and, after glancing It over, he said it would be necessary for us to secure the influence of .the president, the vice president, the committee on pensions, and the speaker of the house If. we expected to succeed. : “We told him that it was for this r;

But wo were never recalled find finally we went awaj\ without further recognlftoa from him. But, while we waited,, be and hit page ushered politicians into hts rooms from ' 1 the reception hail. “But OO' wthafc he seeks his personal advancement by re-election he desires to address tay comrades. There Is a great difference between then and now. Last winter he could afford to push asMe the representatives of more than 4,000 ex-soldiers, and let them wait In his hall like school-boys for a m summons that was entirely forgotten is the more pressing business of greet- < Ing politicians. Would Senator Beveridge care to explain this action to the veterans he now professes to desire to serve? “Comrades, you now have the fruits of Senator Beveridge’s service for years. You have received no favors. And you now have the pledge of Mr. Kern, nominated on a platform embodying a plank declaring for dollar-a-day pensions. Which will you choose when you go to thMkplls in NovemMajor of the Persimmon Brigade3p||i|jStion. which holds its annual polis.

R., and is the other member of the committee, who* with him waited on Senator Beveridge. The* other member - | of this committee Js an old school and personal friemFof the senator, who N - 1 feels keenly the affront to his comrades but who, because of old associations, desires that his name be not t used.
