THAT CONVENTION The Hon. Thomas R. Marshall, the Democratic nominee for governor, is being graciously received by both press and public. He is hailed as the coming chief, the deliverer from paragone statesmanship, the ideal citizen, and who, as governor, would first stand squarely upon index of the constitution, and when right, would never waver therefrom. Such is the man, and happy is the Democratic party in this year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eight. Mr. Marshall is a great man and will make a great governor This has already been conceded by the Indianapolis News and every other newspaper in the state of Indiana, both Democratic and Republican. Mr. Marshall is not the special envoy of any new and daring creed, but believes in the simplicity of law and its strict enforcement. H e is no man s man save and except Tom Marshall’s. He wears a collar, but it has no factional brand and never will have. So w e take off our hat and pledge our faith in and support to the next governor—Tom Marshall. The Democratic state convention was the greatest ever held by the Indiana Democrats. In enthusiasm it knew no bounds, and in sober, candid politics it played the game and played it well. It was a great body of high minded, intelligent and well meaning men, all intent in doing that which would best serve every individual citizen of the state, knowing that when they did that, they were best serving the Democra ic party. The convention will long live in the minds of the many who participated therein, and the work accomplished will live much longer.

As a member of the committee on platform, the Hon, David E. Smith of this city performed great service, and demonstrated ability as an intelligent thinker upon the many burning problems of the day. The plank protecting bank depositors was of his origin, and it was adopted unanimously by the platform committee: THE PLANK: We advocate the enactment of a law guaranteeing to depositors the immediate payment of their deposits in any bank or trust company of this state, operating under the banking laws of this state in case of the failure of any such bank or trust company, the funds necessary for such purpose to be provided solely by a tax to be imposed upon such banks and

trust companies and w e further demand that in administering banking laws in Indiana that none but competent and qualified examiners and officials be selected. TIED TO NO STRING Taking the democratic state ticket as a whole it is to be said that it is exceedingly strong, and reflects great credit on the convention that nominated it. Thomas R. Marshall, nominee for governor, is a man of high character and marked ability. Not only so, but he is a dignified, substantial personality, respecting himself, and commanding the respect of others. Those who know him best admire him most. His a most excellent lawyer, a man of sound judgment and high ideals. It is true that he was nominated by the votes that had been cast for the Taggart candidate. Ralston, but Mr. Taggart, in his defeat, which was decisive, had to be for some one. And he preferred Marshall to Slack, who was his political and personal enemy. At the very moment when

Slack semed sure of winning, Ralston withdrew, and his strength went to Marshall. The latter gentleman evidently thought that he might be charg ed with being the tool of Mr. Taggart for in the ver >’ hour of his triumph he said: “I am tied to no string or faction. My position is fortuitous, and I had many good friends who stood by me." If Mr. Marshall is the man hat his friends believe him to be. he will make it clear that he regards his obligation to the people as paramount to any other obligation, and will —as we believe will prove to be the case —stand on his own merits. It is to the credit of the convention that its nominee for governor is a man who did not actively seek the place, and in this connection we would say that the very excellent nominee for state superintendent, Mr. Aley. a professor at Indiana university, is of the same sort. Mr. Marshall is a graduate of Wabash college- and a member of the board of trustees of that institution. His nomination ought to spur the republicans to choose their strongest man. —Indianapolis News.

HE CAME ACROSS It's Uncle Nate. He came across. He paid the pric e and accepted the formal but empty honor of running for congress. While engaged in this stunt he wears the big red Cromer tag, and while it is early and prognostications ar e hardly ripe, yet the general consensus of opinion prevailing among the members of his party, is that he paid too much. The reported deadlock at the Anderson convention may fool a few people, but not many. It was hard to convince Uncle Nate that he did not stand a ghost of a show, unless Mr. Cromer said the word. The only argument that would convlnc e Uncle Nate—he is practical if nothing else —was a demonstration. Mr. Cromer demons.rated. He completely controlled the convention, and when Uncle Nate was finally convinced—you know the rest. When the deal was closed forty-three votes that were being cast for Cromer switched to Hawkins, without a break. This was the Cromer victory complete. The price paid was not made a part of the convention records, but Cromer is known to drive a hard bargain. HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

GIVEN UP TO DIE. B. Spiegel, 1204 N. Virginia St Evansville, Ind., writes: “For over five years I was troubled with kidney and bladder affections which caused me much pain and worry. I lost flesh and was all run down, and a year ago had to abandon work entirely. I had three of the best physicians who did me no good and I was practically given up to die. Foley's Kidney Cure was recommended and the first hottie gave me great relief, and after taking the second bottle I was entirely cured." Why not let it help you’ THE HOLTHOUSE DRUG CO

DRIED FRUITS AS CONCENTRATED FOOD. Analysis Shows That In Proportion to Cost They Are the Most Nourishing of All Natural Products. Professor Otto Hehner, who may be called the “Dr. Wiley of Engiaxio." has made a special study of the food value of dried fruits, including dates, figs, currants, sultanas and raisins. In the tables Professor Hehner has prepared of his analyses currants show the largest proportion of sugar and the largest proportion of soluble material. After mentioning that all the samples of currants examined, from the best to the cheapest qualities, showed practically the same food values Professor Hehner says: “While it is clear that by far the chief value of currants as an article of food depends upon their contents in saccharine material, in regard to which they are equaled, as far as I know, yet not surpassed, by a single natural food product—namely, honey—their contents in organic acid, mainly consisting of tartaric acid, is of considerable importance.

“The acidity amounts to about 1% per cent It covers, modifies and to some extent hides the enormous proportion of sugar. A material consisting of a sugar sirup containing 70 per cent of sugar and 20 per cent of water. such as does honey, is so intensely sweet that It can be consumed only in comparatively small quantities at a time "The taste of currants, modified as it Is by the large proportion of organic acid, is so far removed from that of honey, with its equal percentage of sugar, that it requires the chemical evidence given in the analyses to convince the consumer of its high sugar value. Furthermore, there can be no doubt that dietetic value must be ascribed to the potash, which in the form of cream of tartar always accompanies the tartaric acid of the grape. “It is quite clear that dried grapes, particularly in the form of currants, occupy a very high place in the list of concentrated foods and that, they deserve a much higher place in the human dietary, and especially in that of the middle classes and poor, than they have hitherto occupied.” FIRST ’ SMOKELESS TUNNEL Turbine Fans Supply Half a Million Feet of Rure Air Every Minute In Passageway to Washington's New Union Terminal. Pennsylvania railroad engineers have shown how tunnels may be so perfectly ventilated that passengers suffer no annoyance whatever from smoke and gas. This has been accomplished in the tunnel through which trains pass to and from the new Washington Union terminal. The problem was to devise some means by which the smoke from one train could be whisked out of the tunnel before another train entered. As the underground passageway to the terminal is in almost constant use. this called for some means of supplying an enormous volume of fresh air in quick time.

Along both sides of the tunnel are located ventilating ducts with cross air passages under the tracks. About 300 feet from the terminal portal of the tunnel two ‘'Sirocco" turbine fans were installed to force air through these ducts at the rate of 260,000 cubic feet of air per minute. These fans blow the air out of the tunnel at the rate of over half a million cubic feet of air per minute, and in less time than it takes to tell it fresh air has been supplied through the entire length of the tunnel. The fans are of peculiar design. They are only 120 Inches in diameter, with sixty-four narrow, slightly cupped blades running parallel around the circumference. It is these blades that deliver 260,000 cubic feet of air for every 145 revolutions of the fan drum. Engineers say that here is found the solution of the problem of subway ventilation in cities and also of the problem of mine ventilation, for which the “Sirocco” fans are now almost exclusively used In the deep, gaseous coal workings of Great Britain. TO IMPROVE THE SCHOOLS. Cannot Do This by Equalizing Salaries, President Eliot Says. President Eliot of Harvard has mad* this statement on the subject of teachers salaries and other educational issues:

I have not been able to see the expediency of paying women teachers and men teachers in the public schools equal salaries. The women are, as a rule, only temporary teachers; thei men, on the other hand, ought to be and usually are candidates for permanent employment during their lives. If these two sets of employees are paid the same salaries, either the women will get too much or the men will get too little. "I should suppose that the effect ■would be to diminish the number of men who would go into the service.and that It would also postpone the adoption of the most needed improvement in the public schools—namely the reduction of the number of pupils placed in charge of one teacher. “Perhaps the action of the labor un-1 the wa « eß of would be suggestive in this case They taatot, you know, that in any gt ven uaue—as the cotnpuaitort, f ol pie-women must be paid the same' wages as men. Their object Is not to bUt t 0 kee P oat of the trade, and it is to be observed ttat they usually attain their object by thia device—at least in some measure.”
