"THE LOAN PARTY.”

Lafayette Journal. But a very few years ago, when Albert J. Beveridge' was speaking in behalf of the republican party, he delivered an eulogy to the republican party which is generally regarded as one of the finest appreciations of republican achievements that has ever been spoken. Here is what Mr.«Beveridge said in his tribute to “the I-Can Party”: ’ “Let any young man search the history of the country from the time of Lincoln on down and find a single example of successful American Statesmanship in the last fifty years that the republican party did not propose, advocate and accomplish, and that the opposition party did not criticise, resist and denounce. “You will find young man that the whole life of the republican party for. fifty years can be summed up in these words, ‘We Americans can! We Americans will,’ and a result of these two, ‘We Americans have achieved’. On the contrary, the whole I : *j of the opposition party for fifty years car. be summed up in these words, ‘We Ariiericans can not! We Americans dare not.’” • It was the republican party that nominated and elected Senator Beveridge to the United States senate. The republicans of Indiana were loyal to him all during his service in the congress. It was not until the campaign of 1910 that Mr. Beveridge betfan to find fault with the republican party. He was a candidate for re-eleetion at that time, and he believed his re-election was the paramount issue. But the option question, then sweeping the state like fire, removed Beveridge from power and now he has only denunciation for the party that honored ftim, the party which he aptly described as the great “I-can party.”

GREWSOME FIND NEAR SOUTH BEND

Body of Young Girl Found With Man’s Shirt Tied About NeckPolice Investigate. South Bend, Ind., Oct. 25.—The partly decomposed body of Hazel Macklin, aged 15, mi.ss.ag from the home of her uncle; Charles C. Miller, of South Bend, since Aug. 19; was found this afternoon in a vault at Island Park, which is between South Bend and Mishawaka. About the neck of the corpse was knotted a man’s shirt. It is believed the girl was strangled to death and her body thrown into the vaults The body was discovered by L. H. Murdock, who in looking into the vault saw a red waist. Calling a companion he made closer examination and uncovered the body. When the girl left home Aug., 19, it was with the intention of meeting a farmer at Spring Brook Park, ■opposite Island Park, with whom she was to spend the balance of the summer. It is known she left a Mishawaka car, but nothing more was heard, of her until today. The girl’s relatives dp not know the name of the man she was to meet, the arrangements for the meeting having been made over the telephone as the result of an advertisement which the girl’s relatives had inserted in a newspaper. They desired that she get away from the city during the hot weather. John iSlick, who was passing Island Park, on Aug. 19, said that he heard a woman scream, but made no investigation as the cry was not repeated. The discovery of the body caused a sensation'in the police department and every detective was immediately placed on the case tonight, and tomorrow every farm house with a telephone south and eart of South Bend within a radius of ten miles will be visited in an effort to learn if arrangements had been made during August to receive a girl from this city.

Mr. King has a few scratches about the face and one knee was slightly strained.

SCHOOL NOTES.

The Rensselaer pubflic schools will be closed Thursday and Friday of this week to allow the teachers to attend the state teachers’ association, which meets at Indianapolis Thprsday, Friday and Saturday. The visit to Indianapolis takes the place of the annual visiting days to the different city schools, and is the plan adopted by many school boards throughout the state. The enrollment in the high school is the largest for several years, while the senior class is the largest in the hirtory of the school, the class numbering 44 at present. ... The report cards for the first six weeks will be sent out Wednesday afternoon and the parents are especially urged to examine them carefully. Personal interviews between parents and teachers will often be the means of better work on the part of the pupils. Too often pupils stay out of school or leave the city when they should he in school A large per cent of the failures are caused by irregular attendance. Tt is to be hoped that many people will visit the schools this year, not only on 'patron’s day, any time. These visits are welcomed by the teachers and are often the means of better understanding of the pupils. The boy scouts will meet at the high school gymnasium tonight. The hour has been changed to 7 o’clock. Please time. There will be drill, basketball, flrrt aid inrtruetion and other games.

His condition is reported to be serious and it is understood that he was .able to move only one hand'shortly after the stroke. It is believed that it will respilt .atally.

Dellwood Athletics Proved Easy for Our “Big” Team.

Rensselaer seems in line for a fine Athletic ball team again this year. The accumulation Of former high school and college star's makes, a formidable array of beef, nerve and speedy and they expect some fine games before the season closes. Sunday afternoon they defeated the Chicago Dellwood Club 62 to 0. The visitors were light and not -well organized, although several of them seemed to be good individual players. After the Athletics had scored three ot four touchdowns they eased up and “played horse” with the visitors. Otherwise the score might have been a hundred or more to nothing. Tt is probable that the Athletics will go to Frankfort next Sunday.

RETRIEVED DEFEAT FROM MOROCCO H. S.

Rensselaer High School Showed Reversal of Form and Won By Score of 24 to 0. A week ago some were thinking that the Rensselaer high school had the poorest football team in its history. Now they are thinking that it has one of the very best. The remarkable reversal of farm was produced in a week’s time under the coaching of Harry Parker, the inspiration of the players and the encouragement of their friends having helped marvelously in attaining the result. Two weeks ago Morocco had defeated us 20 to 0; one week before Watseka had defeated us 22 to 7. Morocco was followed here by a great crowd of rooters, men, women and girls and boys. They were sure of victory, though they could not lose, and some of the sportily inclined w r ere offering to bet big odds on the Newton county team. A big erbwd was present. The St. Joe boys were there in large numbers and they rooted vociferously for Rensselaer, a thing that should not be forgotten when St. Joe has a contest.

At the football ground the Rensselaer girls were banked -on the south side and the Morocco girls on the north side of the gridiron. They vied with each other in cheering their respective teams on to the highest pitch of effort. Rensselaer was not feeling very stcure to start the battle, but their spirits soon arose to a high pitch, for the improvement in their condition was soon seen and every palyer was in the game to win. Eigelsbach kicked to Goddard, who . returned 20 yards. Russell made 2 yards, then 3 more and Goddard made 6. Middlesworth made 3 yards. Morocco tried a forward pass, which Gourley intercepted. Moore made 5 yards, Phillips made 2 and Eigelsbach 7, Moore 4, Phillips 2 and Moore 4 again. Eigelsbach made 7 again an<d Babcock made three short gains and Moore and Phillips each made gains. Eigelsbach then skirted right end for 11 yards and planted the ball across the line just 6 minutes after the kick-off. Hopkins missed the goal, which was $ difficult one, but he missed three easy ones after that, evidently being a little off form, for “Farmer” is usually a dead shot' at this part of the game. Russell got the ball on the kickoff and returned 15 yards. Middle made 7 yards and Russell made 4. Travis and Goddard tried line hitting but failed to gain more than 2 yards at a time and’Morocco lost the ball on downs. Moore made 2 yards and Eigelrtiach and Phillips failed to gain. Rensselaer tried its. first forward pass, which Swaim caught for a gain of 12 yards. Moore made 9, Eigelsbach 2 and Phillips 4. It Was a steady march, Babcock carrying the ball part of the time and being rtrong for the interference at all times. The' line was working better than any line for a long time and finally after Rensselaer had been penalized for an offside play, Eigelsbach again, went around right end for a touchdown, making a 17-yard gain. All of this happened the first quarter, which Closed just as Eigelsbach made the second touchdown. In the second quarter Eigelsbach kicked to Cox, who failed to gain. Goddard made 10 yards. Russell made two short gains and the ball went to Rensselaer on downs. Rensseflaer made three short gains and tried a forward pass which failed. Travis made 8 yards for Morocco, Middie made 1. Russell 3 and Middie 1. Swaim broke up two plays by splendid tackles, the ball again going to Rensselaer, but It was soon lost to Morocco again. Moore stopped a forward pass and the ball went back to Rensselaer. On the nett play Eigelsbach, with fine interference by BabcoCk, ran 35 yards for a touchdown, but the ball was carried back because of tripping. Short end runs resulted in several gains and then English made 11 yards on a forward pass. The same play was tried again but failed. Eigelsbach made 5 yards and then Swaim caught a forward pass for 10 yards. Gains were short but consistent, all the back field getting into the play. The half ended with the ball well into Morocco territor}. Goddard caught the ball on the kick-off and Moore downed him on the 20 yard line. Rensselaer line men went through and blocked the nett play, Lakin showing rtrong. A forward pass was intercepted by Eigelsbach. Several, short gains again and then English made 8 yards on a forward pass. Eigelsbach made 2, Phillips 7, Moore 6 and the ball was on Morocco’s 2 yard line, where it was fumbled and lost. Morocco punted to English. Moore failed to gain, Babcock made two gains of 4 yards each. The ball was fumbled and Price-fell on it. Eigelsbach then went around right end for 25 yards and his third touchdowns Morocco kicked off this time and the ball was carried down tiie field

for repeated gains, Captain Eigelsbach being the most dependable of the ground gainers. Morocco intercepted one forward pass but was soon forced to punt. Babcock made 13 yards with an old-fashioned line buck. Moore was injured and Booster Eigelsbaeh replaced him. Gant replaced Lakin. The baM went to Morocco on downs and after Travis had made 3 yards a forward pass was tried and Eigelsbaeh intercepted it and made a 40 yard run for a touchdown. The score was now 24 to 0 and this ended the scoring. The only play of note after that time was a long punt by Russell, the ball going over the safety and rolling almost to the goal line. Tire kick went for about 80 yards. J The playing of Eigelsbaeh was the sparkling feature of the back field, but he does not Want and is not entitled to all the glory. There was enough to go round and all were deserving. It is now the scrappiest line and back field we have had for a long time and every player seems to have a new appreciation of his ditty and the acme of effort goes into every play. The work of Price in the line stands out with especial prominence, while Swaim and English have the proper conception of the ends. It’s a new team with old players. They should win all their other games.

They play Morocco next Saturday and wanted to get next to the style of play. Watseka defeated Grand Prairie Seminary, of Onarga, Friday, 20 to 7. Rensselaer has no game for next Saturday. The conference limits high schools to six games. Three have been played and three are yet to play. «
