H. HELLER, Manager. HERE IS A REAL ANARCHIST A man went into a Muncie store and after making a purchase asked the clerk who was waiting on him how business was. The clerk’s rep.y
was that he had never known business to be so “rotten. He also volunteered the information that a neighboring store, which he mentioned by name had sold on Saturday only one suit of clothes and two overcoats. This clerk is a type of many who. through criminal ignorance or wanton malice, spread damaging stories as to the truth of which they have no knowledge. As a matter of fact both stores he mentioned had done that month a larger business than in the corresponding month of 1906. It is as wrong and cruel to defame the soundness of a firm’s financial standing as to spread baseless slanders against a woman's name. Timorous souls are quaking at disasters that will never come, and trembling at terrors that do not exist. They may be likened to a nervous woman, who. in a perfectly safe and firmly constructed house, lies awake through the night in momentary expectation that the storm without is about to bring down the walls and roof, carrying all within it to destruction.

clap of thunder, every gust of wind strikes terror to her soul, until she makes sure that each moment will be her last When morning dawns, the returning sun dispels the gloom and shows her the folly of her fears. It is a very thoughtless and miscievous person who goes about peddling false stories of loss and danger to Muncie institutions and establish-
ments that are sound as a dollar and doing more business than ever before. They who talk themselves and friends into a freuzy of hysterical fear of evils and dangers that do not exist should reflect that the sun of prosperity will soon come on' from under the cloud and make them ashamed of their faint hearts and addled brains. —Muncie Star. BRYAN A CONSERVATIVE In his Lafayette speech Mr. Bryan ’ paid his respects to the cause of the 'present stringency in the money market. His argument was identically that urged by a banker in conversation with the writer a few days ago. The story is short. In a few simple words many stocks have been inflated with unholy water and sold to unsus- ’ peering buyers. The recent investigations have revealed such a deplorable state of scandal and rascality among the pious deacons of high finance that these self same unsuspecting buyers of watered stocks become j panicky, placed their stocks upon the market and took for them whatever they could geL In this way two hundred million dollars was taken out of circulation among the New York banks in a few days. This was the i beginning. Mr. Bryan urged every lone to keep cool. He said that the ' man who would withdraw his money from the small banks in this crisis j was no better than the man who refused to shoulder his musket and fight for his country in times of war. This from Bryan, the conservative Bryan, and a true representative of the business interests of this great country.

A LEGAL OPINION Rendered as to What Continues a Teachers’ State License. BY MARION JUDGE — Person Who Holds State Normal Diploma Holds a Life License With It. The person who holds a diploma from the state normal school holds a life license so ar as the county super- ' intendency or schools Is concerned is the opinion ex; ressed in the argument j of a demurrer ~’ed in the circuit court Wednesday. The demurrer was filed ■ in the case of the state on the relation of Willima E Modlin against Finley ’ Geiger. ! The case was venued to Marion j from Hartford City and is a disagreement between the men mentioned as to who shall be county superintendent of the Blackford county schools. Modlin was elected to succeed Geiger and the latter refused to give up office, pleading that his elected successor was not possessed of the necessary qualifications. The case was decided once in favor of Modlin and was apI pealed and then referred back to the original court because of the error. Afterward it was venued to the Grant county circuit court. Judge Paulus, who tried the case, said he would render decision a week from next Friday. However, he indicated that he would decide in favor of Modlin, in which event the case j will likely again be appealed.—Hart- , ford City News. FUNERAL OF MRS. ROBT. EVANS Was Held at Hoagiand M. E.
