The Cromer crowd is making a j great grandstand play in an effort ■ to lead the antis to believe that the 1 dove of peace Is carrying harmony 1 over the district. Being in full possession of all the working parts of the

organization the Cromer followers, and even the wiley Cromer himself, shout for harmony. But the wise ones are not fools or are they fool.d by the demonstration. Theodore Shockney, of Union City is the only avowed antiCromer man who has had the temerity to ask. for the nomination and ask the endorsement of his county. It was a bitter pill for the machine io swallow, but to make their bluff of har- ■ mony “stick" there was no other way ' out of the dilemma except to endorse his candidacy. Os course they well know that Randolph county is only a small part of the district and they will see to it that that is all Mr. Shockney will get—Portland Sun. It has now been nearly two years since it was discovered that the new state capitol of Pennsylvania, at Harrisburg had been a source of a great amount of graft and the trial of the offenders has just h ?gun, Th building and furnishings are magnificent, but the contractors worded their bids in such away that furniture could be rated by the foot instead of by the piece, and by various other ingenious !

The men of Indiana who are idle and perhaps hungry should not mention j it or say anything about the discomforts of their loved ones. It might hurt the candidacy of Charles Warren : Fairbanks and that is more important 1 to a few republican toe tasters than : the welfare of the working people and their families. —Fort Wayne JournalGazette. ■« HISTORICAL CLUB — (Continued from page 1.)

A COUR I OPINION Certified Copy of Judge Hadley’s Opinion in the Lase Ellis Case THEY TELL WHY Says Lower Court Has Advantage in Seeing and Hearing Witnesses A certified opinion in the case of Lafayette Ellis vs. State Os Indiana, appealed from this county, has just been received at the clerk's office. The opinion was rendered by Judge John V. Hadley and affirms th? judgment of the court here. He says: Appellant was found guilty of selling liquor to a minor. The only question he presents in this appeal is the correctness of his conviction. He insists that it was eroneous and contrary to law because his guilt was not established beyond a reasonable doubt by sufficient evidence. Three lads together went into appellant's saloon. They had not previously known appellant. They all testified that Egiey bought three glasses of beer. Two testified that the beer was purchased of the bartender. but could not say whether appellant was or was not the bar tender. The third testified positively that the defendant, whom he pointed out, was the man who sold the beer to Egley. The defendant himself denied the sale, and of ever seeing the boys to his knowledge.

The trial was by the court. The witnesses were all before him. He had opportunity to observe their manner as witnesses. The body of the evidence convinced him of appellant’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt and we cannot disturb the judgment. Judgment affirmed and it is adjudged that appellee pay the costs, $28.70. o S. S.

FARMERS SESSION (Continued from page 1.) They rarely bother the strong ones. Nothing less than 200 bushels per acre is regarded as a satisfactoryyield. He regrets the fact that the balance of trade is against us in the potato crop. From May 15th to 20th is suggested as the proper time for planting. Mr. Lammerman humorously suggests that much domestic infelicity is occasioned by the failure of the potato crop. The blossom end*of the potato is said to sprout first. This idea advanced by Mr. Johnson was not the unanimous sentiment of the farmers, however. The vic® presidents retired at the close of this discussion for

consultation. Mrs. Flora M. Meeks, of Parker. Indiana, suggested many plausible ways in which “Women May Earn Money’’ on the farm. She deplores the feverish anxiety to accumulate material wealth, however. Helen Gould was cited by her as an enviable example of wealth consecrated to the human weal. Shun tainted money. Acquire it honestly. Mrs. Meeks champions the idea that woman is the peer of man. All avenues are open to her. The necessities of the civil war removed the bar to her aspirations. There are now over 400 avocations to w*hicb women are eligible. Housekeeping is a science, not every woman is adapted by nature for this responsibility. Neglect of chil-

dren is most common. Some women are indifferent as to acquiring money. It is all they can do to spend it after husband makes it Butter making is a legitimate field for woman’s efforts. Poultry also affords a remunerative opportunity. She suggests that farmer's wives raise geese, especially, despite the protests of their husbands.
