Salaries of prosecutors $28,000 More spice and ginger was added to the campaign by the addition of . a red hot reply and retort by Sena- . tor Foraker to the charge of Hearst and the counter charge of the presi- ( dent. The senator was in good form, and answered his defamers in the ,

characteristic Foraker style. There is evidently more to follow and before the campaign progresses much further, more dirty linen will find its way to the political laundry, which will likely* be working overtime be- i fore election day. It is expected that the campaign contributions of four years ago, will play an important part, and Alton B. Parker will have his inning. In fact every one has : a show this year, and as a result the public will know much that has heretofore ben mysteriously talked about ir. parables. Foraker seems but the victim of ' circumstances. The Republican wocds are still left full of Standard Oil “attorneys,” both in and out of con- 1 gress, of sugar ring "attorneys,” of steel trust “attorneys.” posing as statesmen. What is Cannon but a trust “attorney?” What else is Aldrich? They have syndicated the government. Why balk at Foraker? Through forty years the Republican 1 party has ben the "attorney’’) bf * every ring and ringster. of every job ! and jobber, which has appeared at ’ Washington having a graft big * enough to tempt the steering com- ‘ mittee of the senate; the rules com- 1 mittee of the house, from high tariff. ‘ always at the front, to high finance, 1 seeing monopoly in every known ‘ - .

commcdity—sugar, steel, iron—enriching Republican statesmen and I making a mockery of popular interests. The senate is crowded with | trust attorneys. It is too late for the I Republicans to make a scapegoat of • Foraker. —Henry Watterson, in Louisville Courier-Journal. Charles G. Dawes was comptroller of the currency under Mr. McKinley. Since 1902 he has been president of the Central Trust company of Chicago. Writing in The Public, Louis F. Post calls attention to the fact that several years ago Mr. Dawes wrote a book enitled ’ The Banking System cu the United States.” The following

is taken from Mr. Post's article: In describing in that book the “present need of our national banking system.’- Mr. Dawes distinctly argues for the insurance idea that Bryan advocated in congress and upon which his campaign is now advancing in the west. Referring to a proposed law. advocated by Bryan in congress, which would have levied a tax upon national banks for the purpose of creating a fund for the insurance of deposits. Mr. Dawes wrote: “National banking statistics show that a fund of the necessary amount would soon be created by a •I comparatively small tax upon each i national bank. It must certainly be admitted that the establishment of • such a fund would have a tendency to prevent the mad rushes of small ' and large depositors during times of. ] panic, for money which they hoard < away in safety deposit boxes or other * hiding place®. * * If the effect of f such a law would be to render bank j deposits more stable under all con- i ditions. as in our judgment would be i the case, no law’ could be of more f value and importance to the debtor, r or to the creditor, or to the community at large. * * Besides the r great importance of the law. as re- c lated to the general prosperity of the * country, it is meritorious as prevent- j * ing the keen suffering in those local- £ ities where bank failures occur, and j where the hard-earned savings of the . e community, under our present laws. 1 0 \ c are often swept away. By such a I law. losses are distributed as by in-1 r

i r surance, the beneficial effects of which c need no argument To the passage ■ i of such a law in proper form, we trust 4 the efforts of congress will be direct- c i ed.” . - •■■■-■ t THIRD DISCOURSE ■ t c Dr. Wilcox Will Lecture on t “Our Mother Eve and the Lost Atlantis” TOMORROW EVENING r The Third of the Series of , Bible Lectures—Excellent 1 c Musical Program ‘ c The third of the series of the most l interesting Bible lectures being given ‘ by Dr. C. B. Wilcox will be delivered 5 tomorrow evening and inasmuch as : the discourse gives promise of even 1 eclipsing the two former lectures, it 1 is assured that the spacious auditorium and lecture room will be comfort- , ably occupied by the largest audience ! of the year. The theme itself “Our Mother Eve and the Lost Atlantis” is 1 indicative of an interesting service, and the able minister will go back 12.000 years in history, depicting interesting thoughts and incidents which will bear upon the all important theme. As a historian Dr. Wilcox has but few peers in this section, and his knowledge of ancient history employed cleverly in his themes, has made him very popular as a lecturer. Besides the lecture, an unusually good musical program will be rendered consisting of the following: Two organ numbers by Mrs. E”® Bell, “Gloria” from Farmer’s twelfth mass, and "Communion” by George Hamer. Men’s chorus, "For God Su Loved the World.*’ Ladies' <piaxtet, “Unerring Guide.” Anthem “O Come and us Sing Unto the Lord.” The public is cordially invited to enjoy the program. o • You have tneu tne rest, now try the best—Admiral coffee. 209tf

I HE PLEASED THEM 1 Congressman Adair is Well Liked at Berne THROWS NO MUD He Discussed the Issues and Made Himself Solid Hon. J. A. M. Adair was in town I Wednesday evening and addressed a large gathering on the street on the issues of this congressional district. He made a clear straightforward statement cf his record in congress, and cleared himself easily of the charges spread out by a certain Ear! Patterson, regarding alleged over charges he is accused to have ma J ? some fifteen to eighteen years ago while clerk of the Jay circuit court. His speech was absolutely non-par-tisan, having nothing to do whatever with the current issues of the two great parties, except incidentally a brief mention of the tariff on lumber, which he sought to have reduced by congress. He spent considerable time on his efforts in the way of pension i legislation in congress and showed several letters which he received from army posts from many different places in the state and the country thanking him for the success of bls , labors in congress in behalf of sol- ' diers’ widows, ahd he cleared himself j of the charges circulated all over this , district, which were contained in the ( so-called Sulloway letters published . in Republican newspapers. Not sor 1 a moment did he stoop to “sling mud” at his political opponent, but ' easily defended and cleared himself from just such dirty tactics presumably instigated by his pclitical op- ( pbnent. He presented a signed state- ] ment by the Portland bar. judge and . oher contemporary county officials from both parties, emphatically deny- i ing the charges made by said “accountant.” Earl Pattersen. of Mun- ■ cie, presumably employed by Mr. Hawkins, and published in an unsigned pamphlet and scattered broadcast over the district that Mr. Adair while clerk of the Jay circuit court, had rebbed the people of the county cf many thousand dollars through over-I charges of fees during his three years’ j incumbance of said office some eighteen years ago. He urged the people of Berne to invite his political opponent to come to Berne and in the same clear and open manfier present I to them his record and what he pro-1 poses to do in congress, and he was heartily cheered by the audience, for this suggestion. Mr. Adair has certainly strengthened the high esteem of him held by men of all parties in this locality.—Berne Witness. o SPREAD LIKE WILDPIRE. A few years ago there was introduced into America a cure for dandruff, falling hair and all scalp disease. This hair renewer did not attract much attention for some months, until a progressive business man, hearing of several almost magical cures, decided to tell the American people of its mighty power to destroy the deadly dandruff germ. And today, without any sensational or untruthful advertising, Parisian Sage is used extensively in almost every town in America. And what has produced this great demand? Simply this: Parisian Sage does just what we are telling the readers of Decatur it will do. We claim, and we back our claim with Holthouse Drug Co.'s money back guarantee, that Parisian Sage is th® most invigorating and rejuvenating hair tonio. It cures dandruff, stops falling hair and itching scalp; it makes the hair grow strong and vigirous, yet soft and lustrous. It is the only ihalr dressing Shat reaches the root bulb nf the hair and destroys the dandruff germ. And to the women who are reading this simple statement of fact, we want to say that Parisian Sage works wonders with women’s hair. It will turn dull, harsh and faded hair into beautiful, lustrous hair in a few days, and is the most pleasant and satisfying hair dressing any woman ever used. ‘My hair was falling out rapidly when I heard of your guaranteed hair restorer. The first application removed the itch!’’?, mv hair stopped falling out, and it is soft, glossy and pliable.”—Carrie Williams, 844 Clinton Ave S, Rochester, N. Y. Holthouse Drug Co. sell Parisian Sage for 50 cents a large bottle, or it can be obtained direct from the makers. Giroux Mfg. Co., Buffalo, N. Y., all charges prepair.
