The guaranteeing of bank deposits is getting to be a much discussed subject. and the more it i 8 discussed the more clear becomes the fact that rank discrimination exists against the individual depositor. As a rule the bankers are favoring the guarantee plan and are Helping to give it the prominence it deserves. Such a law would mean that bank failures would be a thing of the past. Congressman Adair speaks in Wells county next week. He is addressing the voters at some place in the district every day and every night. Wbat a contrast this is with the disreputable and contemptible plan that is being followed by “Uncle Nate.” Instead of going to the people and telling them in plain English where he stands upon the public questions of the day, he is having issued questionable attacks upon Congressman Adair. It is a sort of a campaign that deserves the rebuke of every voter who cherishes the American spirit of decency and fair play in politics. * In discussing the political situation in this state, in aa editorial in its Sunday issue, the Indianapolis Star, the state's leading republican paper, summed up the situation as follows: “On the state ticket the issue is indeed doubtful. There is dissension in the party, growing out of Governor Hanly's dictatorial and implacable habit, dissatisfaction with the state

Organization, revolt among the socalled liberal element in the party which has heretofore helped it to victories, and in Indfanapolis especially angry protest among citizens regardless of party lines against corrupt and reckless doings in county affairs.” The American farmer who pays 110 for the same plow that is sold in foreign countries for $7, is at a loss to know why the foreigner hag the better of him. Well, it is simply the tariff. The manufacturer is protected against foreign competition. He has a monopoly at home. Se he puts up the price. Abroad he has competition. so he must put the price at a point where he can sell. The only way in which the American fanner can buy a plow as low as a foreigner does is to elect a congress that will revise the tariff. The plow illustrates the point and is the explanation for the difference in the retail price of all articles of American manufacture at home and abroad. —Columbia City Post | "What the laborers of the land desire,” observed Mr. Sherman, in accepting the vice-presidential nomination. “is the oppcrtpnity at all times to exchange their brain and brawn for good pay in good money. A protective tariff and the gold standard, both the achievements of the Republican party, give the laborers that opporunity.” About the same time, B. F. Yoecum. of the Rock-Island-Frisco system —than whom, perhaps, no one can speak on the subject with more authority—said that four hundred thousand railroad men were out of jobs or on short pay. How many hundred thousand workmen in other lines < are receiving the same blessing, under protection and a gold standard, we do not know; but Mr. Sherman knows, as we know, that the number is large. One of the purposes, then, for which the Republican committee needs money is to convey to idle or half-pay workmen an earnest assurance that, thanks to the tariff, they are enjoying great prosperity. —Saturday Evening Post

TAFTS ITINERARY ARRANGED A Ten Deys’ Trip Through the Western StatesChicago, Sept. 15—Ten days of tiaveling, with almost constant speaking, havee been arranged for William H. Taft, the Republican candidate for president. The trip will be made on a special train starting from some Illinois point, probably Chicago, about September 25. The tour will extend as far north as Minneapolis and Fargo, N. D., as far south as several points in Kansas, and west to Denver. Mr. Taft will be back in Chicago in time to speak before the deep waterways convention on October 7. The itinerary of Judge Taft engaged the attention of Chairman Frank H. Hitchcock, of the Republican national committee, as soon as he arrived here from New York. Political leaders were here to meet the chairman from North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah, Jltnnesota. Kansas, Tennessee, Wisconsin and Kentucky, and the representatives of several other states communicated with headquarters by long distance telephone. 0 THE MIGHTY POWER OF MI-O-NA Mi-o-na, that extraordinary and perfect stomach tonic, will relieve dyspepsia in twenty-four hours. I It will cure, and is guaranteed by Holthouse Drug Co., to the readers of Decatur to cure the most pitiful cases of dyspepsia, if taken according to directions. Mi-o-na tablets not only cure dyspepsia. but all stomach disturbances, such as vomiting of pregnancy, sea or car sickness (after excessive indulgence. Mi-o-na cures by strengthening and invigorating the flabby stomach walls, and after a course of Mi-o-na treatment, constipation, if there is any, will entirely disappear. Read this from the president of a New York corporation: “I have been a terrible sufferer from dyspepsia and gastritis for two years. The most physicians prescribed for me with no effect I have been absolutely cured by your Miona tablets. The first one gave me a relief almost incredible.” —Herbert H. Taylor, 501 West 143 street, New York City. Mi-o-na is a most economical treatment —a large box of tablets only costs 50 cents at Holthouse Drug Co., and the dyspeptic, nervous or otherwise, who does not give them a trial, is losing an opportunity to regain health.
