OVER SPECULATION In the financial stringency occar sioned by the Wall street panic the American people have behaved admirably. and it is due to their good sense as much as any other agency that the rifts in the black clouds are widening and healing sunlight is finding its way into dark and unsanitary corners. It is true, and every one who reads knows it, that the prompt and material action of the government and the purchase of gold abroad has put the banking institutions of the United States in a stronger and healthier condition than they were before the eastern flurry. And now let us calmly view the situation. The action of the bankers of the nation in limiting the outflow of cash may have inconvienced us all, and prompted a few people to hide their wealth under the carpets, but It was the right thing for the banks to do. The actual necessities of the people have been supplied, the machinery of trade and manufactures has been kept in motion and as a result the nation as a whole is little worse for the Wall street sandstorm. We know now that the real cause of the financial disturbance was over-speculation and over-valuation, and it is well that the bubbles have burst, for it may teach the people that the roaC to wealth at home is often rough, the )way primitive and results slow ,but thyy are generally sure, and beat the A J all street bal--Jopu- route al], ‘iioTiow in a thousand and one ways.—Fort Wayne JournalGazette.

As yet not a single Democratic paper has expressed regret over the result in Kentucky. The high-handed manner in which the Beckham machine has whirled over every Democrat who had refused to bow to bosses and bossism has caused widespread disgust and indignation among Democrats generally. The troubles of the Kentucky Democracy began with the brigandage established by William Goebel when he raped the Louisville convention, captured the nomination for governor by the most outrageous methods, and, when defeated at "the polls, annulled the verdict of the people by the rankest injustice ever resorted to in Old Kentucky.—South Bend Times. The democratic primaries for Adams county will be held December 6. Nineteen candidates are already announced. The demmies are early birds

The city council has ordered two night policemen relieved from duty but both decline to quit the service until ordered to do so by the mayor, who they claim, employed them. —Delphos Herald.

L-IL BRYAN BANQUET Program of that Great Democratic Event at Lafayette. THE GREATEST EVER Reception in Afternoon and a Banquet to be Given that Night.

The Bryan banquet at Lafayette next Monday evening seems to be an absorbing topic among the Democrats of the state. Lafayette will also see that the visitors on this occasion are shown all the courtesies going. One hundred automobiles will be at the command of the reception committee, and if there is anything in Lafayette that is not thoroughly inspected, we lose the watch. The program follows: James K. Risk, Toastmaster. Address of Welcome Mayor G. R. Durgan Address of Welcome... .T. J. Barnes Address Thomas Taggart The Preacher in Politics Rev. T. H. Kuhn Conscience as a Political Asset... M. B.

Bryan The banquet begins at five o’clock, and from the looks of the program it will be nothing short of twenty-four hours of solid comfort and enjoyment to every- Democrat who attends. The Lafayette boys are among the best that are produced, and this event will be evidence of this fact.

BID THEM WELCOME Coppock Motor Car Company are Moving to this City. ARE GETTING ORDERS Decatur Gives this New Industry a Genuine Hoosier Welcome. The Copopck Motor Car factoryplant is certainly a model of beauty and convenience, and is arranged with every detail of their business in view. Many new pieces of machinery are arriving and being placed in position and in addition to this excitement their plant at Marion is being rapidly dismantled for shipment here. Mr. Wiley and his office force will be snugly located in their Decatur home within the next few days, and from that time on the business of the Coppock Motor Car company will be transacted from this city. The management of this new industry are more than anxious to settle down to real business as their orders for future delivery are coming thick and fast, making it necessary for them to expand their room and facilities of manufacture. Decatur may well feel proud of the beautiful building they present to this enterprising company. There is nothing lacking to make it complete, and when it is filled with working men. machinery and raw material, and the hum of industry is manifest, its benefits will become apparent. In the meantime every Decatur patriot takes oft his hat to the Coppock Motor Car Co., and bids them welcome, thrice welcome.

MANY QUESTIONS New Depository Law Becomes Effective First of Month. TIME TO READ UP Attorney General Besieged With Many Questions About It. Indianapolis, Nov. 12. —Numerous questions have been received at the attorney general’s office recently from county auditors in regard to the construction of the public depository law. Some of them indicate that the county officers have not studied the law very carefully. One question asked was: “When does the depository law become effective?” The depository law becomes effective December 1. Another questioner wished to know

whether a rate of interest higher than that stipulated in the act may be obtained from banks bidding for the township funds. There is nothing in the law, says H. N. Dowling, assistant attorney general, to prevent a higher rate of interest ■being obtained. However, a bank offering to pay a higher rate of interest than that stipulated in the law will not have any advantage over the other in its efforts to become a public depository. It is not likely, Mr. Dowling says, that a bank would offer to pay a higher rate of interest than that provided for in the law when it would obtain no advantages from such payment. Another inquiry was in regard to the ’township fund to which the interest ■would go. It is provided, Mr. Dowling says, that the interest on township 1 funds shall go into the township fund., The New Pure Food and Drug Law We are pleased to announce that Foley’s Honey and Tar for coughs, colds and lung troubles is not affected by the national pure food and drug law, as it contains no opiates or other harmful drugs, and we recommend it as a safe remedy for children and adults.
