' The Country- Will Be Warned.” the St. Louis Globe-Democrat says it will be the duty of Taft, Cannon, Hughes, Shaw and other Republican leaders to take special pains when they go on the stump to point out the disaster which would come on he country if by any mischance Bryan should be elected. We do not. of course, know what would follow such a prograkn. but we believe that any such calamity howling as that would meet with such a rebuke that there would have to be instant and complete shift again of the issues—which is about all that the Re- 1 publicans have been doing since the > Chicago convention. The country is in no mood to stand calamity howlers. ■ Think of the proposition—leaders of the Republican party, the party that has had uninterrupted control for twelve years, getting up in the midst of a panic that has been pinching us new for nearly a year and telling the « people that if they elect the Democrats disaster will overtake them! What is It that has overtaken them now? What are we suffering from? Who is responsible for it? A nice pro- ■ gram, indeed, a calamity program would be! What the Republican leaders want to get busy with is not seeing visions and interpreting dreams of I what may, might, could, would or: should happen if the Democrats should be elected, but what has happened while the country has ben in the exclusive control of the Republican party, and what that party proposes to do to bring relief. It is a time for an accounting of stewardship, not the bringing of railing suppositions. * • The people understand this campaign perfectly. They know precisely what the Democrats propose. There has rarely been a platform more incisive than the one adopted at Denver, and i no one could be clearer or less equiv- 1 ocal than the candidates have been. On the other hand, it is true, as Mr. I Bryan says, pertinently, in his com- . rnent on the president’s letter of in- - dorsement of Mr. Taft, no one knows ’ just what the Republican doctrine is. ’ Mr. Taft has amended 'the Chicago , platform several times, and there are 1 signs cf another movement in that s direction. —Indianapolis News. 1 L, • 1 THE DEMOCRATS ARE UP AND DOING s The Democrats of the east are ' showing more signs of life than they s have ever shown before. Conserva- 1 tive writers teli of the united action 1 all elements of the party, especially among the Cleveland wring, all of w’hom have lied dormant during the , last three presidential campaigns. They are now lining up with their par- ; ty organization, and are showing an interest and zeal that is surprising. Ir. New Jersey, a state that was considered safe for Taft by one hundred thousand plurality, is now in the doubtful column, and is made doubtful by the united action of the Democrats and also by the factional strife and lack of interest in Taft among the Republicans. The same story comes from New York, Rhode Island and every other eastern states that ever had a tendency to at times look with favor upon the Democrats. In Ohio the political fortunes of the Republicans is causing them endless worry, and there are those who want to wager that Hamilton courtly and Cincinnati goes for Bryan. So the story goes. From east to west the story relates disaffection and discouragement to Republicans and unity of ac-

, tion and encouragement for the Dem- ; ocrats. In five weeks more the cam- ' nisrn ends, and at this time there is much to encourage every Democrat and urge him to personal action. Be up and doing. Help the organization. I The time is at hand when precinct or- ■ ganization work should outrival all 1 other methods, of campaigning. Get i busy. IT IS WARMING UP — The Campaign is Getting to Be the Real Thing ‘getting PERSONAL The Democrats Are Preparing to Go After the President Chicago, Sept. 28.—A firm conviction has stolen in on those at Republican and Democratic national headquarters that at last the campaign is cpen. The wail set up by Republicans a week ago that General Apathy was being permitted to slumber himself to death is not heard today. Instead there is a general belief that one of the bitterest and most peri sonal campaigns that the country has ever experienced has opened and that I platforms are to be lost sight of. It is not expected that the people will be awakened as in 1896, but the belief is general that within the next month a public man without an assailed record will be a prize exhibit. The Hearst assault on Foraker and Governor Haskell started things going. As an opener Bryan and the Democrats are going to ask President Roosevelt persistently and insistently j in what way he is any better thin j Fo raker. They are going to ask whose; j money it was that put him into of-; ■ fice in 1904 and are going to keep I ■hurling at him the charge that at ■ i least SIOO,OOO of it came from the ; 1 same Archbold and the same Stan-1 dard Oil company that sprayed Foraker. It is going to be pointed out ’that though Roosevelt ordered it returned it was not returned and H. ■H. Rogers, of the Standard Oil company, said that Roosevelt tried to force more contributions out of that corporation while he was denouncing it for political effect. The Democrats are going to ask who raised i $260,000 for that same campaign, and they are going to charge that it was E. H. Harriman, “an undesirable citizen,” whom Roosevelt summoned to , Washington when the outlook was net bright and whom he asked to raise $250,000 for his election. The Democrats are going to drive home the charge that the money that Harriman raised came out of Wall street and that it was contributed z by the insurance companies, big corporations and special interests that Roosevelt was then assailing. The details of ; these charges have been compiled by the Democrats and placed in Bryan s bands, with the prayer that he spray 1 Standard Oil generously over the , president. The Democrats have also got hold of pictures of the great TaftForaker love meeting, taken of the two men at the G. A. R. reunion at Toledo, and with President Roosevelt’s own letter, in which he assails Foraker and Haskell, they are going to ask in what way is Roosevelt better than Foraker. With this same letter they expect to show that both Roosevelt and Taft long had known what kind of a man Foraker was, but that Roosevelt’s candidate for president did become a party to a “harmony” plan in Ohio —though not a formal pact —that Taft was to have clear sailing for the presidency and that Foraker was to have a clear track hack to the senate. Practically everybody around headquarters now believes that the president will become so manifestly the paramount issue that he will be on the stump defending himself and contributing still more to the information that people are now getting concerning their servants in high places. The persroal assault campaign methods adopted by Hearst and Roosevelt are not to end with the counter assault on Roosevelt. Although the Republicans have begun to clean bouse by eliminating T. Coleman DuPont, of powder trust notoriety, from their campaign, this will not prevent the assault on the party for having a man of such unsavory reputation as one of the directors of its campaign. —o OF INTEREST TO MANY Foley's Kidney Cure will eure any case cf kidney or bladder trouble that is not beyond the reach of medicine.

BATTLE BUT Bf GINS » Governor Hanly Speaks to Methodists at Anderson SOUNDS WARNING Says the Battle is Yet to Be Won and Sounds the Warning ’ I Anderson, Ind-, Sept 28. —“Theu-e are some who seem to think the hour of jubilee has come. The church bells rang last night throughout Indiana, proclaiming the victory, but the hour of jubilee has not arrived. I warn you there are still battles to be [fought. The war is not yet ended." Thus did Governor llan!y sound the war cry of further battles against the liquor traffic in a monster meeting :at the First Methodist church this afternoon. The church was crowded to the limit an hour before the governor, accompanied by his wife and Mr. and Mrs. R. C. Minton, arrived. , Governor Hanly was greeted with cheers when he stepped upon the platform and was tendered a chau- ’ tauqira salute by the women who filled the galleries. The governor entered 'at once into his subject, after being introduced by R. C. Minton. Hi s address in part was as follows: What I have to say this afternoon, as on other occasions during the last thirty days, applies to all men and all women who down in their hearts accept the teachings cf the Christ. I ’warn you there are still battles to be fought, the war is not yet ended. We have won a great victory, but if we succeed we must make this grand victory a signal to press on fcr fu- ■ ture conquests and go forward to yet greater things and win greater victories before the hour for jubilee shall have come. There are men now living who must fall, men who must sacrifice political ambitions and tear themselves away from party affiliations, men who must live above partisanship. There are crosses to bear and crowns to win before the final jubilee has come. I pause to say to you, let not your hearts be troubled. >No just cause ever dies. Those who stand for it may fail. Those who defend it may be assailed, but the cause itself lives on and truth crushed to earth will rise again. We lose some battles, yes; but hear me. we will not lose the war. .You will get the distinction? There are some things that the church lacks today. The Christian church of America, today i i lacks the power of a great consecre- i tion upon this question. Most mem- j bers of the Christian church think right upon this question, but thoughs have no effect. The members of the Christian church of America must . act on this question. The law we have just enacted simply says that when the people of a community or the people of a county come to a con- • elusion that this traffic is only injur-' ing them, in a commercial, econom- ’ i ical, industrial and more! sense, when | . it is only doing that thing which is ’ without benefit to society, you have [, the right to discontinue the traffic j . in your midst. They say it should . not have been conferred upon you until ycu had ben asked whether or not you would receive It. When it was conferred I had no timidity about that. I believe it safe to enlarge the franchises of the people cf Indiana without asking them. We have taken i no right from you. You stand today i clothed with every right you had yesi terday. This law of itself interferes with the interests or business of no > ■- man, but this day through this law ; , you have conferred upon you for the i t first time in a hundred years a new , franchise and enlarged powers, a right ] you never had before. You can use | t it if you will, or let it lie dormant if , r you choose. If you do not want it j i- you have not been harmed because of i : its being conferred upon you. The l fact that you have this power will | force the liquor men to keep the law 1 ,t more clcsely than any police power ] e that could be employed. It has cost i i. the people of the state probably $25,- I t 000 to convene this assembly, but If < you will use it in this ccunty, in ten i ? years it will save two hundred times i f $25,000 in Madison county alone, and i

Haggard. March 19, 1892. To this union were bern two children, one son and one daughter. She was converted about 12 years ago at the Methodist meeting at Monroe. Joining with them in church membership, she lived a quiet Christian life, and said to the writer cn Sabbath evening before she passed away that there was nothing in her way. She was ready to go or ready to stay. She said she knew that in her sickness she was a great care, but she knew that they were only glad to care for her. But sue said she wa 5 only waiting His coming for her. She said It was hard to leave her loved ones, but If it was for the best, she was just satisfied to go, for said she in that borne where I am going she would never suffer no more and they could come to her. She leaves husband, one .son and two daughters, and one grandchild, father, and mother and two brothers, and a host of relatives and friends to mourn their loss. But we mourn not as

those who have no hope. We weep, yet we Icok up through our tears and by faith behold our loved one helping to swell tbe throng around his throne in glory.
