For years, certainly as long as the Republicans control national affairs, we may expect renewed assaults of the subsidy seekers. President Roosevelt is even now trying to make capital for the cause which was pressed at the last session of Congress with a persistence that only filibustering defeated. It is in order then for those that oppose the scheme to keep their powder dry and their arguments bright, so to speak. They have all the better of it to our way of thinking, for in all subsidy argument we do not recall one that went to the heart of the matter, namely that subsidy—the institution of lines of steamships by bounty from the treasury—has nothing to do with foreign trade. Precisely the opposite is assumed by the subsidyites. They say that in order to hold our foreign trade we must have American lines of ships and they point to the truly humiliating showing at any foreign port of the world where the flags of all nations except ours are seen on merchant ships. But what shall American subsidized lines carry? It is not claimed that we lack ocean carriage. We get nowin competition for rates of carriage the pick of the cheapest. It would not increase our commerce a pound if we had a line from every port car-

Friday the BUI / Ou \ J \ J-...-'.. 'W \ I ,2 / / ■y'-x ' . •- * / By THOMAS W. LAWSON Author of “Frenzied Finance” A Story of Passionate Love and Money Madness The hero is a daring young broker who retrieves the fortunes of the family of the woman he loves, a beautiful daughter of the south (they have been victims of "The System,") with the greatest "coup” in the history of "The Street. ” The fever of money madness and the curse of speculation run throughout the story. This terrific conflict between character and money, and the shifting and glittering background of frenzied finance, makes a novel which would be absorbing to even' man and woman were it by an unknown author. Being by Mr, Lawson, it will undoubtedly be the most discussed story of our generation. YOU MUST NOT FAIL TO READ IT. h Will Begin in This Paper in the Near Future

rying the American flag. Foreign trade is based on world competition of prices for the goods, not on sentiment as to what flag flies on the ship that delivers them. We sell so little to South America, not because we have no means of sending our goods thither, but because our tariff makes such artificially high prices for our goods that European goods are vastly cheaper to the South Americans. When we can compete w-ith the world in prices our foreign trade will increae whether it is carried in American bottoms or foreign.—lndianapolis News. James P. Goodrich is making a tour of a number of the Southern States presumably in the interests of Charles W. Fairbanks’ candidacy for the presidential nomination. If Mr. Goodrich finds the condition in that portion of Uncle Sam’s domain like it is here he will find about seven-eights of the Republicans and about one-half the members of all other political parties for the re-nomination and re-election of Theodore Roosevelt. — Winchester Journal. Some Death Bed Rimesters. There have been numerous instances of poetical and grammatical deaths. Emperor Adrian made a poetical address to his own soul as death was casting the seal of final silence over his lips, and Margaret of Austria, while almost within the grasp of death, in a terrific storm at sea. calmly sat down and composed her epitaph in verse. The ship weathered the gale, however, and the epitaph was not needed. —The Sunday Magazine.

Maps of Microscopic Size. Maps for military and general field use are produced by Dr. O. H. F. Vollbehr, of Halensee-Berlin, as microscopic transparencies, each about 1% by two inches in size. These form slides for the microphotoscope, a special instrument having a hand-mirror shaped frame, to which is attached a slide holder, with a movable lens over it. The lens slides in two directions, about 70 square miles being shown in each position. The Weapons of War.

THE GAME LAWS All Questions Decided by Mr. Sweeney REGARDING THE NEW ACTS Hook and Line Fishing Remitted at Any Time of Years —Sale of Game and Fish Prohibited. For the benefit of Adams county lovers of hunting and fishing we publish the following letter from Z. T. Sweeney, giving a summary of the new fish and game laws: Columbus. Ind., Mar. 29, 190". Dear Sirs —This is a summary of the laws enacted by the last Legislature as pertains to fish and game. A full text of new laws will be out about the first of July, and a copy may be obtained then by remitting two cents to this office. Prohibits possession of quails from January Ist to November 10th, applicable to incorporated storage companies as well as individuals. Cuts bag limit on quails and ducks to fifteen per day. Any person having hunted three days or more consecutively may have a total of fortyfive of either, killed by himself during such hunt. Provides open season for waterfowl from September Ist to following April Ist. Prohibits dove shooting at all times. Open season on squirrels, July Ist to October Ist. Hays bill provides closed season on squirrels, November Ist to following July Ist. and Section 608 of the law of 1905 makes it unlawful to hunt any kind of game from October Ist to November 10th. The two laws togethefl makes open season on squirrels from July Ist to October Ist. Makes open season for woodcock, July Ist to October Ist, and November 10th to January Ist. Any resident land owner may hunt on his own land anywhere in the state without license, and his children living with him, also his tenants, are given similar privilege. But if he or they hunt anywhere in the state except on his own land, license must, be secured, that license being obtained of the Clerk of the county Tn which applicant resides, except in Marion county—such license being obtained at- the Commissioner’s office in the state house in Marion county. Such license costs one dollar, and the Commissioner of Fisheries and Game must spend one-third of all such license money in buying live quails and other species of game for distribution throughout the state for the I purpose of restocking the state with; such live game.

Allows hook and line fishing the year around in all the waters of the state except in Bass it being unlawful to fish through the ice in that lake. The restrictions provided for in Section 616 of the Acts of 1905 relative to fishing through the ice, are still in force. Sale of game fish caught in this state is prohibited, and proof of sale or offer of sale of any such fish is prima facie evidence that such fish were caught in this state. None but officers of the Fish and Game Commissioner may confiscate nets, seines, etc., and a conviction for possession I or use of such nets, etc., must be j made before any fee can be collected I for seizing or destroying same. Legalizes sale of game fish caught in any private pond, but person selling or shipping such fish must present affidavit that such fish were caught in a private pond, and a private pond is defined to mean any body of water not greater than ten acres in area, lying wholly within or upon the lands of any land owner. Z. T. SWEENEY, Commissioner of Fisheries dbd Game. THE VIOLIN RECITAL. The violin recital, which will be given under the directions of Tony Holthouse at Bosse's Opera House, April 16th. promises to be one of those rare musical feasts which no one can afford to miss. A recital of this kind is not a common occurrence and the violin and voice has been considered the sweetest and grandest of all music, while the clever arrangement of the program brings it within the ap--1 preciation of all.

CLUB MEETINGS (Continued from page 1.) son: Mrs. Al Burdg; Mrs. Rena Hoffman; Mr. James Bain. One of the leading events of last evening was the evening party given by Miss Hattie Studebaker at her beautiful suburban home, east of the city, to a large company of friends, in compliment of Miss Margaret X esey and Mrs. Josephine Edwards. Ihe home was very pretty with its dec-. orations of flow’ers and ferns. The evening's program consisted of various kinds of amusements. At a late hour the hostess served an elaborate luncheon. The guests numbered tweny-eight. Miss Edna Hoffman will entertain the members of the Menn-ates at a six o’clock dinner tomorrow evening. o— — Prayer for a Day's Work. The day returns and brings us the petty round of irritating concerns and duties. Help us to play the man, help us to perform them with laughter and kind faces; let cheerfulness abound with industry. Give us to go blithely on our business all this day, bring us to our resting beds weary and content and undishonored, and grant us in the end the gift of sleep. —Amen. He Seldom. Little* Walter was told to write a composition containing the word “seldom.” He puzzled hard over the problem for some time, but at last he found a solution, and this is what he handed up to the teacher: "My father owned some horses, but last week he seldom.” Longevity. To achieve longevity one should be an Italian painter.

Happiness and Hunger. "My idea of perfect happiness,” said the seedy philosopher as he made his fourth round trip to the free lunch counter, “is to be in a position to go into the swellest restaurant, put my hand over the price list of the menu and order what my taste dictates, irrespective of the demurs of a diminished wad.” Woman Expert Trunk Packer. A singular occupation Is that of Miss Blanche Minton, of New York. She packs trunks for guests at hotels. The idea came to her as an inspiration and the first day she tried it she made sl7. She often earns as much as $25 a day and has had to take in her younger sister as an assistant. The Firtrt of the Season.

Weak women To weak and ailing women, there is at least on* way to help. But with that way, two treatments, must be combined. One is local, one is constitutional. but both are important, both essential. Dr. Shoop’s Night Cure is the Local. Dr. Shoop’s Restorative, the Constitutional. The former—Dr. Shoop’s Night Cure —is a topical mucous membrane suppository remedy, while Dr. Shoop s Restorative is wholly an internal treatment. Th. Restorative reaches throughout the entire system, seeking the repair of all nerve, all tissue, and all blood ailments. The "Night Cure”, as its name impliea. does its work while yon sleep. It soothes sore and inflamed mucous surfaces, heals local weaknesses and discharges, while the Restorative, eases nervous | excitement, gives renewed vigor and ambition, builds up wasted tissues, bringing about renewed strength, vigor, and energy. Take Dr. Shoop a Restorative—Tablets or Liquid—as a general tonic to the system. For positive local help, use as well
