FRIDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1901.
GOVERNOR DUHBIN has been a credit to his party and to the state so far. It is hardly likely that in the matter of the prison management he will consider the interesta of a faction above those of the party which he represents and the people whom he serves.
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT has begun his new southern policy by appointing to a federal judgeship ex-Governor Jones, of Alabama, a gold Democrat and a man of unquestioned ability and integrity. The appointment has been received throughout the south with unqualified praiee and predictions of a new and respectable Republican party in Dixie.
THE estimation in which Booker T. Washington is held by southern white people is exemplified by the following editorial from the Democratic Chattanooga Times: "Booker^Washington' is right. The toleration of lynching, of election infamies and other lawlessness is a justilication of the] kind of anarchy that murders high men in the places of power. Booker has more sense and a far better brand of religion than his rough critics are possessed of.''
A CORRESPONDENT of the Pittsburg Dispatch suggests that memorial trees to President McKinley should be set out this fall and next spring by schools, municipalities and citizens. On the last morning of his life the President asked that his pillows be turned, saying: "I want to see the trees. They are sa beautiful." All who are interested in Arbor days, parks, or the adornment of private grounds will be sure to give consideration to this simple, appropriate idea.
THERE will be a Republican party in the south worthy the name or there will be none at all. The policy of appointing the best men to ollice in the south without regard to party attiliatlon was begun by McKinley. It will be continued with boldness by Roosevelt. The old Republican leaders of the south who have not the confidence of the self-respecting voters, either white or black, will be ignored, and the Democrats who believe in the gold standard, protection, expansion and prosperity will have an opportunity to express their honest sentiments at the ballot box without fear of social ostracism.
SUCCESS is authority for the statement that the cost of harvesting wheat on the Pacific coast has been so lessened by the use of automobiles that a greater amount of the grain can be produced at the same actual expense than in the Argentine republic, where labor costs only a fraction of a dollar a day. The large automobile traction engines now used in California are of 61) horse power and are provided with driving wheels 60 inches in diameter. They do the plowing, planting and.harvesting in their proper seasons. One traction engine performs the triple work of plowing, harrowing and planting In one operation.
THE most important matter that will .come before the fifty-seventh congress will bo the revision of the tarill law, which seems unavoidable. Of course, it is impossible to predict its extent at this time, but it is clear that some revision will be imperative: good polities, good statesmanship and the judgment of the chief executive and accredited party leaders all demand it. Once taken up with the numerous and conflicting interests which it will so seriously affect. it will require an amount of consideration and adjustment which of itself would serve to occupy congress for a considerable time. Representative Babcoek, of Wisconsin, who is now in Washington, declares his intention

THIS election of the Republican ticket in Indianapolis Tuesday is most gratifying to Republicans in all parts of Indiana. The capital city contains more Republican voters than Democratic ones as is demonstrated repeatedly in state and national elections and the success of the Taggart machine in municipal contests has only been possible by the petty factional strife of Republicans. Let us hope that Mr. Bookwalter will conduct himself In such a manner as to heal these breaches instead of making them worse. Indianapolis
is to be congratulate! on
getting for mayor such a clean and I
energetic young*man as Mr. Bookwalter. If he makes mistakes it will be probably from fan excess of partisan zeal and not from intention. He should remembei-JiGarfield's injunction, "He serves his party best who serves his country best."
THE wind furnishes one of the greatest unutilized forces of nature. In certain parts ol the country, particularly upon the great plains, it is in rapid motion almost continually throughout the year, robbing the soil of its moisture and often carrying away the lighter particles.'j.The ingenuity of man is, however, converting what is a nuisance into a blessing by employing the force of the wind to bring water to the surface by means of suitable mills. At depthsjof from 20 to 50 feet beneath the surface of the western plains are considerable quantities of water, and it has been found possible to pump this, many thousands of wind mills being now in operation and probably millions of dollars having been invested in machinery of 'this character. The wind mill has become, therefore, one of the great factors in the development of the drier parts of the United States. Its efliciency and economic use have been the subject of investigation by the United States geological survey, since the utilization of the water resources of the country is so largely dependant upon this device. The matter has been discussed by Prof. E, C. Murphy in water supply and irrigation papers of the United States geological display, Nos. 41 and 42, recently issued by the government printing ollice, and distributed to members of congress, from whom copies can be had upon application.
WE take pleasure in commending the spirit as well as the substance of the following lines] concerning the President from Mr. Bryan's Commoner: "Theodore Roosevelt assumes the duties of the Presidency under conditions calculated to call out the best that Is in him—conditions which will make more ardent his natural desire to fulfill the expectations of his countrymen. He enters office more free from political obligation than he could have done had he received a party nomination after along contest. Mr. Roosevelt has a high conception of civic virtue, and his' opponents will probably find more to criticise in his doctrine than in his methods. There will be no disposition to prejudge him, but an earnest wish that the government policies for which he and his party stand may be tested upon their merits."
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT and Booker T. Washington in consultation over a southern policy for the administration is a fact worthy of widest notice. Washington is the greatest living negro and one of the great men of the period. He has done more for the advancement of his race than any man since Abraham Lincoln. So when he advises the President to appoint only white men to office in the south the men of his color may rest assured that he has their Interests at heart. "If you want to build up the Republican party In the south and make of It something besides a byword and reproach." said Mr.Washington, ''you must broaden it out. You must get the better element of the whites in it. That is best, for the party and for the public service. It i.s also hot for the negro.''
Belgian Hare Bluff.
To the Editor of The Journal. in a late issue of the News-Review appears an item copied from the Rockville Republican, stating that a Belgian hare exhibitor from Parke county at our fair carried off prizes on hares scoring fiti and 97 points. Further from the way it reads, one not posted might suppose that our county hare raisers had no exhibits or prizes. While we would be generous to our neighbors, we must be just to ourselves. Montgomery county exhibited ninety-three and Parke county four hares. The Parke county man took two prizes while our county exhibitors took twenty-two prizes. No hare has ever been fairly scored 1)7, and his claim of 96 and 97 were laughed at by our judge.
We have just as line hares in our county now as anyone need to breed to. While we cordially invite competition, don't try to bluff us. T.
An Error of One Cent.
H. F. Hedges, of Lebanon, an expert accountant, has been for the past week or ten days checking up the accounts and vouchers of Win, Clark, ex-trustee Perry township. He completed the
task Saturday night and will make his report in a few days to the persons who
employed him. Mr. Hedges refuses to divulge what the investigation discovered, having been employed by private parties, but it is well understood that the only error found was the mistake of one cent in footintrupthe vouch-ers.—-Frankfort jVeirs.
Number of Voters In the County. The enumeration of voters taken in Indiana every six years for the purpose of legislative apportionment has just been completed. The number of voters in Montgomery county is 9,811, an increase over six years ago of 1,359.

THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
They Reduce the Claims of the Trustees for Enumerating the Voters— Other Business.
At the September term the county commissioners considered the claims of the township trustees for enumerating the voters of the different townships, and Monday the trustees came in to get their money. When they saw the amounts allowed a roar went up, but all have accepted the amounts as allowed except H. F. Johnson and H. C. Darnell. The amounts asked were greatly in excess of those asked and allowed six years ago, the trustees claiming a rate per capita, when the law states they shall be allowed $2 per day for time actually employed. Following are the sums asked and the amounts that were allowed:
All township presidents, officers and Sunday school superintendents and teachers are urged to have at least three meetings during the week and extra services for the children.
Pastors and churches should unite for the mass meetings and find some good speaker to address them.
Three-fourths of our youth are not studying the Holy Bible in this Christian land, so the statistics show. It is hoped to bring some of these into the Sunday school during this week.
The state Sunday school committee now publishes The Awalcener, and every pastor and Sunday school superintendent should send for copies and programmes to help on this work. The September number is devoted to visitation day and decision Sunday.
The Sunday school people of Crawfordsville have arranged a programme for each day of the week.

Residence Burned.
NEW ROSS, Oct. 8.—Monday morning at 10:30 the home of W. J. Rhoads, living three miles northwest of here, was entirely consumed by fire.

Nothiner was saved save a sewing machine, some bed clothing and a few other articles. The loss of Mr. Rhoads is placed at 8300 with no insurance. The house belonged to William Loop, of Mace, and his loss is about $1,500, with insurance of $500 in the Farmers' Mutual. By this fire an old landmark is removed. A part of the house was built in 1842 and the remainder in 1856, and Mr. Rhoads had lived in it for eleven years.

The XXih century (ire pot is an entire departure from any ever used In a stove before, but has been thoroughly tested by constant use for the past six years with preat success. With it any fuel can be burned with nearly perfect combustion, besides doing away with the objectionable feature of soft coal for house use, such as putllne, gas, soot und smoke. With all fuels the gases are completely consumed, producing the greatest possible amount of heat.
In its walls are cast a large number of self cleaning cells and slots extending from the bottom to the top, through which air Is heated and foreed by special constructed grates causing the fuel to burn in a oircle, from against the pot to the center instead of through the center as it does when the draft is carred ithrough the grates, thus obtaining as largo and hot tv Are surfacc as is possible, directly against the pot with never any ashes to obstruct its radiation. The hot air from the draft slots mixes with the gases and smoke which in other stoves of ordinary construction will not burn, and the units of heat they contain are wasted, while In this construction being mixed with the proper quantity of oxygen they burn fiercely and all are consumed with intense heat.
It is practically indestructible on account of the circulatonof air through its walls. The ash chest and bottom is cast In one piece without joints. The doors are tightly fitted. The register drafts have ground joints through which, when closed, no air can be drawn, and lock with malleable catch on a double Incline, which Is a great improvement over screw drafts. The ash pan is very large.

The Radiant Home Air Blast
XXth Century Fire Pot forms the only perfect retort made. The air is drawn up through each cell from the ash pit, and, becoming thoroughly heated, furnishes the fuel with fresh heated oxygen at all points around the fire and over the surface ol' the fuel. All the gases are properly freed from the fuel and entirely consumed, producing complete combustion The greatest fuel saver made. Come in and see this wonderful heater.
