AN AUSPICIOUS OPENING OF THE CAMPAIGN It was an auspicious opening of the campaign in Adams county, when Rev. Samuel W. Small arcse to speak and was greeted by one of the largest and most sympathetic audiences that ever packed the court room, with standing room at a premium. If this is a n index to the general interest in the campaign. General Apathy has already taken to the woods. The speaker is of national character, an evangelist of the gospel and an orator whom it is a pleasure to hear. His discussion of the issues make it clear that there is but little argument outside the Democratic cause. Perhaps the most telling point made was his discussion of the trusts, accompanied by governmental statistics showing that everything we eat and wear has increased in cost fifty per cent during the past ten years. A like or greater increase in everything to furnish and complete the home; labor increased twenty per eent and the cost of living fifty per cent, leaving the laboring yuan holding the sack to the tune of thirty per cent. These figures were easily understood and verified by the man who pays the bills, or housewife who does the buying. His address throughout was entertaining and logical and the audience was with him at all times. The general interest manifested shows that the democracy of Adams county is eager and ready I

to go forth and do battle for the cause that is so near and so dear to the people. — A COMPARISON As an evidence that the present state administration is an expensive luxury to the tax payers of the state, we publish a comparison of the cost ( of the governor’s office under Demo- • cratic and Republican administration. This comparaison is but a fair index to the increase n every office at the state capital, and is reason sufficient for a change: DEMOCRATIC, 1893. (See Acts 1893. p. 361 ) Governor’s salary $ 5.000 Secretary’s salary 1.800 Eecutive clerk 1.000 Messenger Office expense 500 Civil and military cont. fund.. 3.000 Total $12,020 REPUBLICAN. 1907. (See Acts 1907, p. 671.) Governor’s salary $ 8.000 Traveling expense 250 Secretary’s salary 2.500 Executive clerk 1.500 Messenger 1.000 ‘ Eexecutive accountant 2.500 I Rent and maintenance of resi- | dence *_. 1,800 Office expense 1.0 00 Civil and military cont. fund.. 10.000 Gov. emergency cont. fund.... 30,000 Total $58,550 The guaranteeing of bank deposits is another campaign issue that found popular acclaim with Rev. Samuel W, Small and his audience. It certainly is unjust that no law protects depositors, while our national, state, county, city and township governments and corporations require and receive such protection. United States Senator Goar in a speech at Muncie recently figures to show that a tax of one-fourth of one per cent upon bank capital would have paid every cent of loss that was incurred by bank failures in the panic of 1893. But the real point after all is that had a bank deposit law been in effect at that time, not a bank would have failed. I The congressional campaign is going

merrily on with Congressman Adair on the stump telling the people where he stands upon all the public questions of the day, and with his opponent, “Uncle Nate,” hiding from the gaze of the public, mailing unscrupulous attacks through paid agents about the life, character and public acts of John Adair. Why does he not face the people with these charges? Why does he not appear and in public speech make these charges direct? Why does he not be a man among men? And aside from all these personal charges, why does not “Uncle Nate” tell the dear people where he stands upon the important issues that have a bearing with the "voters in this campaign? Mr. Robert E. Dowdell, of Artesian, South Dakota, is a candidate for con- ' gress on the Democratic ticket in his . state, and in order to be elected will have to convert several thousand Republicans to his cause. He is made out of the sort of stuff that can do it, however, and should he be elected the newspaper profession will have one representative in congress who will look well to their interests. Mr. Dowdell is one of the most influential members of the National Editorial association, and is a gentleman of high ideals and fine attainments. ECZEMA IS NOW CURABLE.
