COUPLE Welded
At HIGH NOON
Lochinvar's Ride was Tame
Compared to Their Co
ing Away.

On Wednesday October 10, at noon,
in response to invitations, large
company assembled at the home OF
Mr.. and Mrs. IL. @. Mertzke to wit
ness the marriage of their eldest daugh-
ter Martha to Mr.. Frank ID. Faust
of Lucas, South Dakota.
Loving hands had artisticatly
decorated the rooms with arbor vitae
and dahlias, the bay window being
veritabIe bower. AS Miss Barbara
Cowles played the Bridal Chorus from
Lohengrin, the couple, unattended
took their places in the bay window,
and exchanged their VOWS. Rev. L.
A. Goddard officiated using the i'm
pressive ring service.
The brides sister Ida introduced
the guests to the groom who is a
stranger here. After an hour, four
course luncheon was served; dozen
of the brides most intimate girl
friends waiting upon the tables.
In an upper room were displayed
the beautiful and useful gifts from
Martha's many friends.
The bride was gowned in cream
white messaline and carried brides
roses.
The guests from away were: Mr..
and Mrs. Henry Mertzke, Sr., Mr.,
and Mrs. Aug. Mertzke and family of
North,Freedom;M Miss Antonia Mertzke,
Chicago; Mr.. and Mrs. F. o. Newell,
Deton; Mrs. Dexter Farnam, Miss
Myrta Farnam and Miss Flora Cooper,
Merrimack.
Mr.. and Mrs. Faust will! spend
few days in Chicago before going to
their home, where they are promised
reception which will probably
eclipse their departure.
Were Riced a Good Bye.
When the Prothero automobile left
the brides home the friends under
stood that the couple would be taken
to the passenger station. When the
Novelty Bunch and others reached
the place where the train stopped no
bride and groom were in sight. Where
could they be? The trainmen were
and some one whispered
that Mr.. and Mrs. Faust were at
Crawford's crossing waiting for the
steam cars. The Novelty Bunch got
aboard the train with some fear and
trembling lest they should not find
the bride and groom and would be
carried far away to some other station.
Behold the train stopped at the cross
ing and there they were. How the
rice did fly! 1t came down as if all
the cereal from China was dropping
down. The passengers GRAINED their
necks and were soon joining in the
merriment. A number of placards
were on hand one of which read:

De EMOCRAT ORATORS
MAKE ADDRESSES
Congressman Weisse and
w. II. CofAand Speak
to Voters.

At the G.. A. r. hall on Wednesday
night Congressman Charles III. Weisse
of Sheboygan and w. H. Coffiand of
Viroqua made addresses. The former
is a candidate for United States sen ator
and the later is candidate for congress.
Mr.. Coffiand spoke first and gave a
few facts relative to the history of his
life and the different offices he had
held in his own town of Viroqua. He
further expressed his loyalty to his
party if elected. He stated that set of
questions was handed him to answer
concerning his election. He answered
yes to all but two or three. These had
to do with parcels post, the election of
Cannon as speaker and certain
measures within the tariff. One thing
he would vote for and that is raise of
pension for old soldiers, to at least one
dollar day. He would find out what
$500, 900, 900 was expen led for and see
if some of this could not be given to
veterans. He is in favor of revising
certain measures of the tariff, as a re-
form of the whole question would be
impossible. Among these measures
would be free trade on lumber and
coal. The laboring class is not protected
by high tariff but the manufacturer
of wool was bought by the corporation
at a reduction of one third this year
from what it was last, still it could be
bought no cheaper by the consumer
because the corporation fixes the
parties.
Mr.. Coffiand ended by saying as
near as he could figure out he would
be elected.
Congressman Weisse Speaks.
Mr.. Weisse opened by giving a record
of the offices he has held in his own
town even though there are a majority
of republicans there. The congressman
said that he would talk on campaign
issues. Those in control of politics now
days form one great political machine
and kept the laboring class and those
who elected them in fight on different
questions, with each other. We had
little war whensthe privilege class in
England got control of things, at our
expense; and an other little war when
a privileged class in the south wanted
slaves and there is a great political
strife nowadays with the corporations
which ne hoped would be settled with
out war.
Mr.. Wiesse also talked on the twen-s
ty per cent law and other topics.
The hall was comfortably packed.

that time they had been with A
Reinking and the Stanley Company.
Both had become familiar with dry
goods and desired to enter the business
world for themselves. Their stock on
the opening day nine years ago was
not large but behind it was enthusi-
asm and a determination 10 succeed.
They entered upon their work with
no intention of sighting the task be-
fore them. They felt that there was a
field and into this field they entered
and their success may be measured by
what has been accomplished.
From the beginning there has been
a gradual growth. In four years they
found that the business had outgrown
their small quarters and another room
adjoining was secured. The double
store was opened and the business con-
tinued to grow.

Editor Palladium:

In the campaign circular of the
Honorable Charles w. Stivers, of Lib
erty Indiana, the following paragraph
appears: Il believe in the justice of
Union County's claim to the Senator
ial nomination for the next four years;
Wayne having had the Senator for the
past eight (S) years.
Here are the facts: Wayne and
Union counties first became a senator
ial district under the apportionment
Act of 1905. and the election of r. E
kirkman was the only one electing
joint senator for Wayne and Union
taking his office in 1907.
Therefore, Wayne county has had
not quite four years, and as the vote
is about seven to one, it is hard to
see where Mr.. Stivers bases his claim
for recognition at this time.
Wayne has no desire to bully its
fair sister on the south and means to
treat her fairly by bending to her a
little later on. but to rotate the sena-
torship with her. is beyond reason and
should not be asked.

A BALLAD OF WOMAN.


She bore us in her dreaming womb.
And laughed into the face of Death ;
She laughed in her strange agony
To give her little baby breath.
Then, by some holy mystery,
She fed us from her sacred breast.
Soothed us with little birdlike words
To rest-to rest-to rest-to rest;
Yea, softly fed us with her life
Her bosom like the world in May:
Can it be true that men. thus fed.
Feed women-as l hear them say?
| wonder if such men as these
Had once a sister with blue eyes,
Kind as the soothing hand of God.
And as the quiet heaven wise.
I wonder. when all friends had gone
The gay companions, the brave men
If in some fragile girl they found
Their only stay and comrade then.
Shall she who bore the son of God,
And made the rose Of Sappho's song,
She who saved France, and beat the
drum
OF freedom, bear this vulgar wrong
Have no part in the world she made
Serf of the rainbow. vassal flower
Save knitting in the afternoon.
And rocking cradles. hour by hour.

ellis OF the state and nation We most |
earnestly commend him to the people |,
for reelection to the Senate.
We heartily endorse the couserva-
tive judgment of the congressman of
the district. the Honorable W. o. Bar
nard, and commend for his unfaltering
support of the policies of the National
Administration. The citizens of this
district may we'll feel proud that their
interests have been committed TO one
of unquestioned integrity and ability.
In the short time he has been a men,
Der OF Congress his fitness for legisla
tive work has been recognized in i'm
portant committee assignments. and
We pledge ourselves TO united action to
secure his reelection in the coming
campaign.
Proud Of Liquor Laws.
The Republican party is responsible
for the present temperance laws OF our
state. We are proud of our record on
this question. and we pledge the people
of Indiana that no backward step will
be taken.
To these resolutions in further sup
port of Senator Beveridge and his tar
if commission measure was added
this amendment by Charles Morgan:
A Morgan Amendment.
Particularly do we commend that
portion of the presidents message to
congress of Dec. 7, 1909 concerning
the uses of the new tariff board, Gre
ated by the new tariff law, and in the
appointment of which the president
expressed his intention not to hest
tate to invite the attention OF con-
gress to all facts concerning the eff
cheney of any tariff schedule"
Another clause which was directly
aimed by Watson influence at Bever-
idge was the following sentence: and
commend him (Barnard) for his vote
on the present tariff bill" Through
Mr. Morgan's efforts this clause was
cut out of the caucus resolutions.
HernIy spouts Some.
After the resolutions were read the
oratory commenced. AS the keynote
speaker Chas. Hernly was introduced.
The speech was in this fashion:
You know this man Cummins. Of
Iowa He's like that other Iowa man,
Weaver. You know this man Lafol-
lette. Why Lafollette's magazine is
sent out in the same wrapper with
Bryan's Commoner. He's Democrat.
They call 'em insurgents. Beverage
is an insurgent, but he 'aint' as bad as
they are"'
With this as a keynote, the other
speakers followed. 1t was plain that
they did not care to disturb the entente
cordiale with Mr.. Watson and when
in doubt they talked harmony.

MAJORITY OF WOMEN
Want to Be Mothers and Men Nearly
All Love Children.

Golfers Weekly
Men like children. Unless served to
them in unlimited doses or at inoppor-
tune times, most men like most chill
dren. and they are apt to be exceeding
ly fond Of their own children. Should
they have none. still the though. of
children of their own appeals to them
about as strongly as that of any other
benefit to be bestowed on them. Wo-
men. having the sole physical care of
children, are popularity supposed to
possess the larger share of devotion to
them, but this is an unfair division of
PARENTAL sentiment, for though he may
be clumsy in his expression of it and
reticent and unskilled in its display.
the father is usually as interested i'm
his child. as considerate Of it's welfare.
and as ready to make sacrifices for IL
as the mother. There is perhaps moth
ing that SO holds man to a woman.
even after she has ceased to be attrac-
tive to him, as the fact that she is
the mother of his child. Men have
been known to perform prodigies OF
loyalty to a woman who has assumed
that relation to them. Even the wo-
man illegal, to whom neither in history
nor in fact has man proved himself
conspicuously faithful, has been able
to assume role almost dignified when
it became maternal.
Neither is ii to be successfully denied
that the majority of women. down in
the bottom of their hearts. want to be
mothers. There may be circumstances
in their lives that have temporarily
warped their instructive preferences
There may be prohibitions Of the spirit
and of the body. There may be a
waste of moral strength in foolish
ways of living. There may be a sac
rifice of nervous energy in the perpet-
ual motion most social women consider
a mark of success. These things may
render q woman unfit for motherhood
or industrious of its responsibility. but
they only temporarily abate the love
of the child in her breast. and il is
never very far distant.
II must be a very powerful idea that
can successfully set itself up against
such a conviction of indispensable
function as maternity. For deny il she
may. woman finds it unacceptable that
while the work Of the world might be
successfully accomplished without her
assistance, as a mother she is indispen-
sible: and if she denies ii or if it is
denied to her 10 fulfill her most neces-
sary reason for existence. the other
things wherewith she enriches her life
are only more or less ornamental SUBJ
stitutes. Yet we find her cultivating
these substitutes under the name of
broadening mentality. We find her
using up her nervous energy in the
pursuit of larger variety Of living than
domestic life affords. and so uniting
herself physically for successful
motherhood. and we discover her hunt
ing for the miracle that shall divide
the threatening sea Of intellectually
on either side Of dry path for her
feet, and in the search finding neither
time nor desire for children.

THE MEAT TRUST FIGHT.

From New York comes the report
that the meat packers have decided to
fight the meat boycotters; nor is this
surprising, for it is becoming more. and
more evident every day that if the
meat trust is to continue to live-that
is, il the combination is to continue to
do business in the way it has been
doing business-it has got to fight, and
has got to win. The mere fact that
huge trust finds it necessary to fight
for it's life shows what an immense
change there has been in public senti-
ment. 1t is said that the meat trust
will stop killing in the western plants,
points where the boycott is in force,
and then raise the price on the ground
of "a shortage in supplies" 1t is also
said that the representatives of the
packers in various cities have received
instructions ito stiffen up the price of
meat, and fight back This. of course.
is the natural action on the part of the
trust and part of a regular line of
campaign that the trusts have long and
successfully followed-to crush out
competition by cutting prices; to
coerce consumers by shortening sup
plies.
But one may we'll question whether
the usual trust tactics will prove eff
fective in the present state of affairs.
For one thing it does not seem entirely
logical to shorten the meat supply of
people who are not buying meat. 1t
is of no consequence to them whether
there is any supply or not because
pecial!y illogical to "stiffen up the
price when the determination of the
meat boycotters is not to resume the
consumption of meat until prices are
reduced to a reasonable basis The
contrary effect of such a policy would
appear to be as indicated-that is, it
would tend to increase the boycotters
both in numbers and determination.
There is no evidence that the boy
colt is weakening or that the antagon-
istic feeling against the trust is les
sening. On the contrary, word comes
from various places that organized
clubs and societies are taking up the
subject with a view of pledging their
members to support it, and an effort
is to be made at the convention of
the Federation of Women's Clubs of
America. which will meet in New
York Friday, to start a movement to
ask every woman in the country to
send post card to President Taft ask
ing him to take measures against mo-
nopolistic control of meat prices.
Meantime, of course. the government
prosecution Of the trust is proceeding
in Chicago and it is entirely unlikely
that public opinion will permit this
prosecution to be abandoned like that
of 1908, even If there were any incli-
nation to do so.
What the meat trust does not ap-
pear to realize is that it is facing a sit
uation such as no trust ever faced be-
fore. 1t needs some kind friend to
say to it what was said to Louis XVI:
"Sire, this is not a riot; it is a revo-
luton" 1t has quelled riots hereto
fore easily enough. but it has never
before met a revolution.
II the meat trust wants war it can
undoubtedly have it and all it wants
Of fighting, but in it's desperate posi-
ton it would seem q good deal wiser
to ask for an armistice in order to dis
cuss neutrality-suspicious. News
