THEN AND NOW In a speech in congress the other day Mr. Garrett, of Tennessess referred to several ‘prosperity" speeches made in congress two years ago | by republican members who declared that ‘‘Republican administration means prosperity—Democratic success means disaster.” Chas B. Landis was handled as follows: “I remember, sir. with what drat matic force the gentleman fromlndiana displayed here a picture of Coxqy’s army of unemployed when they surrounded this capitol In 1894. This came to my memory with peculiar force the other day when I read -that, the unemployed—l think of the city of St. Louis—were counseling the wisdom of another march upon this cap ital and were in communication .with Coxey with a view of having him lead them. “The gentleman from Indiana boldly staked his case and the case of his party upon the condition of prosperity and the proposition that tlr£ ‘Dingley bill had done the business.’ His speech was predicated upon a sign which h e saw in the city of Cincinnati a he came on here that year, in front of an employment bureau’s office, in large letters: ‘AU kinds of work for all kinds of men.’ The Dingley bill ‘was doing the business’. Mr. Chairman, 1 hail occasion a short time ago to pass through Cincinnati ,and I regret profoundly to have to report that the Dingley bill is not doing the business now. It abides with us, and you gentlemen on that side abide with It, but that sign has (passed away. Instead, sir, what do we hear from Cincinnati? Senator Foraker of Ohio made a speech not long ago at a banquet in New York. The papers reported him as saying, among other things: “ ‘A few days ago an officer of one of the mercantile agencies of that city stated that there were on that day, according to their reports, 30,000 idle men in Cincinnati.’ “The gentleman from Indiana undertook to tell us what would have happened had that sign he saw been post ed anywhere in the United States during the Cleveland panic administration. Some day when the gentleman choses he can tell us what would happen il it were posted now during the republican prosperity administration. I do not think, sir, he can find finer language than he used then, and to save him the trouble I will borrow it and tell you now. It would be—

“ ’Set to music and sung from every hilltop in the republic.’ “I remember the bold challenge he flung to the gentleman from Illinois < Mr. Rainey) that if Mr. Rainey had an unemployed man in his district, he, Mr Landis, would go home and get him a good job at good wages within twentyfour hours. Will the gentleman open an iemployment bureau now? Will he make good? Will he deliver th e job? If he will, Mr. Chairman. his name shall be set to music and sung from every hilltop in the republic. Freight cars and engines representing an investment of $400,000,000 standing idle, and 30,000 idle men, the discharged crews of the idle equipment; sixty-five steam shovels belonging to the largest contracting firm in the south standing idle rusting in the southern rains, and 25,000 men lately employed by that firm looking for other jobs. Is the Dingley bill doing the business?” Under the laws of Indiana all doors in school buildings, public or parochial. are required to swing outward. Violations of these laws subject the individuals responsible for failure to comply to heavy penalties. Every one invested with authority in the premises ought to see to It that there are no infractions of the law. The state inspector of buildings is now going from town to town to see that the requirements of the law are siiictly complied with.—South Bend Times. > IMPEACHMENT CASE (Continued from page 1.) Mrs Gailogly told of a time when she and two children were on the street listening to the Salvation Army when the. mayor came out of a saloon and hugged her; she said she believed he was intoxicated. Mrs. Whitright testified to a similar occurrence on the same evening in November, 1906. Court convened promptly at onethirty o’clock, thirty minutes being consumed by D. D. Heller, attorney for the defense in outlining their case and what they would try to show. The first witness called by the state was city clerk C. O. France, who was used in relation to identifying the city records number nine and ten which will be promient factors in tjye case. D. D. Coffee was then called by the state and questioned at length concerning his term of office and during the examination admitted that he was the custodian of the license record in which were contained all the licenses issued by him during a period of time from September 4, 1906, to December 5, 1907, which was the time th e case was filed. During that I time he stated he issued a hundred and ten licenses for which he charged a fee of fifty cents each, making a total of $55 received by him. His docket record was the next taken up and he admitted that he had during the above named period tried thirtyone cases, some being criminal cases and others for the violation of city ordinances and that in all these cases he charged a docket fee of two dollars, making in all sixty-two dollars. ’ which he appropriated to his own use . and never made any settlement with - the city for the same. On cross exj amination he informed th e jury that his reasons for so doing were that he c thought under the statute the same 1 belonged to him.

Green, was the next witness called his testimony being in relation to the fact that he had served as marshal of the city of Decatur under Coffee and that last August he was requested to resign, which he did after a prolonged fight. He informed the jury that he had seen the mayor intoxicated in August, September and November and described one time especially. He further testified that while in one of these intoxicated conditions the mayor used vulgar, obseene and indecent language on the streets and in the presence of women, men and children, and that he was forced to file an affidavit against him for public intoxication to which the mayor plead guilty and was assessed a fine of a dollar and costs. Green further testified that upon numerous and divers occasions he saw the mayor In saloons and upon each and every one of these occasions he was either drinking beer or whiskey. ,He then related some of the mayor’s actions in the council room and told of the abusive manner in which the mayor at times talked to the council. Green made an excellent witness in his own behalf and upon, cross examination could not be shaken from his original story. The case is attracting considerable attention and the court room is well filled at all times. ——o A WILL PROBATED Mary M. Shank Divided Her Property Among Her Children NEW CASE FILED James Sullivan, of Geneva, Asks G. R. & I. to Settle Loss of House and Barn The last will and testament of Mary M. Shank was probated after deciar- , ing that all debts and funeral expenses she provides that as Lizzie , Waggoner and Martha A. Smith, two of her daughters hav e each been paid $250 heretofore, that they take nothing further of her estate, but that same shall go to her children, Anna Miller, Katie Michener, Rosa Smith and Samantha Marchand, share and , share alike, three grandchildren, Clarence. Russel and Ray Defenbaugh also to have a share. The will was written April 20, 1907, and witnessed by D. E. Smith and John Schurger. I S. A. M. Butcher, of Geneva, and Barger & Hicks' are attorneys for the plaintiff in a. case filed here, entitled James H. .Sullivan vs. The Grand Rapids & Indiana railway company. The complaint says that the plaintiff lived in Geneva on August 14, 1906, that prior to that time the said G. R. & I. permitted grass, weeds and other material of a combustible nature to accumulate along the railroad tracks; that about two o’clock p. m. on said date sparks from an engine set fire to said refuse and the blaze soon spread to Mr. Sullivan’s property adjacent thereto, setting fire to and destroyed his barn valued at $350 and his residence valued at $1,300. Therefore he demands judgment for $1,650. TAKE TAFT OR ME X - I (Continued from page 1.) , the subject, see no good reason for making any changes.

IN RELIEF WORK An Interesting Message bv Prominent Member of the W. R. C. THEY NEED COTTAGES The Lafayette Soldiers’ Home Sadly Needs More Buildings The great need Is a question that will appeal to the hearts of every W. R. C. member is now before the department. There is an instant pressing need for more buildings at the state soldiers home at Lafayette. There are now 1,214 persons on the roll as members of the home, 366 of this number are out on furlough for there is not room in the home for 900. Some must be kept out to make room for those more needy, and there are on file 61 approved applications of needy homeless veterans and veterans widows who are waiting for a home heralded to them. The state has some good buildings there. It was supposed that these would be supplemented by the counties and the great charitable organization of the state to keep up with the demand. Several years ago the department of Indiana Woman's Relief Corps placed a cottage there. Some counties, only a few comparatively few-, have buildings there. The rest are very slow. What is the matter with Adams county, one of the best in the state? She is too slow. The W. R. C. of Indiana in order to celebrate their silver jubilee anniversary are planning to build another cottage there. It is in our legitimate line of relief work and attests to the Grand Army of the Republic our loyalty. — -o WHO USES HYOMEI? The Best People in Decatur Say Holthouse Drug Co.
