THEY ONLY OPPOSE DEMOCRATS I Going back to the race for congress, the expected opposition to Congressman Foster because of his attitude toward the Littlefield bill, governing interstate shipment of liquors, has not materialized. As a member of the subcommittee of the judiciary committee having this measure in charge, Mr Foster refused to vote in favor of reporting it. The opposition in the subcommittee was such as to prevent it being reported to the full committee for action. Mr. Foster makes a close study of the constitutional phases cf every question that comes before him, and he wrote an elaborate and convincing opinion in which he held that the Littlefield bill, which seeks to enable state authorities in dry territory to confiscate interstate shipments of liquor, is unconstitutional. The same view was propounded in an exhaustive opinion by such an eminent legal luminary as Senator Knox. Mr. Foster also declined to register his vote against the restoration of the canteen to the national soldiers’ homes. For these reasons the officials of the National Anti-Saloon League declared about the time congress adjourned. that they intended ho invade Mr. Foster's district and “make an example” of him. They indicated that they would put forth extraordinary efforts to arouse the temperance sentiment of this' district, but not one of them has appeared to sound the tocsin of war. —Louis Ludlow, in Star League. The above shows the deceit that is being practiced, not alone by the Republicans, but also by the managers of the Anti-Saloon League in Indiana.

, Here is a member of the committee having the Littlefield temperance ! measure in charge. He wrote an op- ! inion against its constitutionality and i voted against reporting the bill to the full committee. He has been notorious in his efforts to defend the liquor interests. All this and yet no AntiSaloon worker, no Republican organization and no Governor Hanly has appeared to defy the despoiler of the ! home. His apponent is a temperance reformer. Mayor Boehme, of Evansville, and a man who has gained considerable fame in his warfare against the saloon. Even this fails to bring to his aid those warriors who pretend to fight for temperance and Prohibition in season and out cf season. Why? Mr. Foster is a Republican. What’s more, he is a Republican candidate. Governor Hanly appeared before Mr. Foster's committee and asked that this bill be reported and passed by congress. Mr. Foster voted against Governor Hanly's request, yet our great Prohibition governor has never uttered a word cf protest against the action of this Republican congressman. Why? Governor Hanly is not opposing Republicans. He opposes none but Democrats. He speaks in Democratic communities and against Democratic candidates, for any office for which they may be seeking. Political advantage for the Republican party is his first thought This shows, too, the insincerity of the Republicans in this campaign. They want to win the offices, and they want to win them through the false declaration that the Republican party stands for Prohibition and the Democrats for intemperance. Forty counties in Indiana have been remonstrated dry. and a summary shows that half of them are Democratic counties. Does this indicate that Democrats stand for intemperance. No, |iut it jioes indicate that the temperance sentiment is not divided along political lines. It indicates that no matter whether the Republicans or Democrats win the offices, temperance will travel in the even tenor of its way, receiving earnest support from members of all political parties. This is the time when Democrats, and especially temperance Democrats, should show their resentment of the unholy methods of the Republican party to snare their votes in a political election. This is the time for 'every Democrat to be true to the party of his faith. The signs of the times point to a Democratic victory. The tide is with us, and all it takes is for every Democrat to be up and doing. Get busy. Mr. Billheimer is not answering Mr. Marshall s question as to why he took a thousand dollars a year more than his salary while serving as deputy auditor of state, but is resorting to personal abuse. That means he'3 guilty. “Uncle Nate" with vest pocket booklet, was in town today. “Uncle Nate” is not long with the glad hand, but when it comes to paying the freight cn an investigating report, he’s there. If his method of campaigning is a sample of his qualities of statesmanship, the voters will discard it before they are given the privilege of a sample copy. Attacking John E. Lamb because he has worked himself Into a lucrative law practice by dint of energy, industry and native ability, is one of the many reprehensible features of the present campaign. In his boyhood days John worked in a butcher shop, and he made good. The late Daniel W. Voorhees became interested in this butchep boy, took him in, and made an able lawyer of him. Is there anything discreditable about all this? —South Bend Times. Hanly has not answered Mr. Marshall’s question whether when he was cleaning out the graft in the state house, he played favorites and permitted one man high in public life to pay back into the state treasury the sum of SBOO, and no prosecution was instituted and the whole scandal

hushed up, all with Hanly's know!-I edge and consent Sherrick wanted to do the same thing, but Sherrick had to go to the penitentiary and Dan Storms had to become a fugitive from justice, all to the end that the Hanly halo might shine more respendently. Marshall is filing the question at him every day, and Hanly will have to answer or get off the stump. —Columbia City Post THE SOCIAL DOINGS • Bachelor Maids Club Will Be Entertained by Miss Edna Ehinger OTHER SOCIAL NEWS Y.

SHE MAY RECOVER 1 -- *! Mrs. Michael Smith Undergoes Serious Operation Exceedingly Well PROBABLY RECOVER One of the Most Complicated Cases Recorded in Decatur Mrs. Michael Smith, of Jaxon street submitted to a surgical operation yesterday morning, which will probably save her from what seemed a few days ago to be inevitable death. The afflicted woman has suffered for ten years from complications, her condition becoming so serious that the operation was absolutely necessary. The work of the knife revealed adhesion of the bowels, ulcers and blood turners and a serious affection of the amentum. Beside these a tubercular condition had developed and as reported by the physicians, hers was the mest complicated case which has ever confronted them. In view of this, the doctors, during the two hours the patient was on the table, removed objectionable portions, released adhesion, etc., and Mrs. Smith has a flattering chance of recovery. However, the lapse of a fewdays will mere definitely determine this. Reviving from the anaesthetic the patient seemed greatly relieved. SOCIETY WOMEN. Some Spend Hundreds of Dollars a Year on Their Hair. | Leaders cf society in New York know the social value of attractive hair, and according to a metropolitan newspaper every society woman spends a great deal of money to keep her hair beautiful and respendent. These women employ highly paid hair dressers and specialists, and so long as- they have money to gratify their desire for beautiful hair, none should ccmplain. But what about the thousands upon thousands of women just as intelligent just as refined, and just as lovable as any society women, who have not the means for expert hair dressers and specialists? Are they not entitled to beautiful, lustrous and luxuriant hair? Most assuredly they are, and thousands of them give thanks daily to the great scientist and dermatologist who put within their reach, at a small price, the marvelous and quick acting hajr tonic known all over America as Parisian Sage. Holthouse Drug Co. will sell you a large bottle of Parisian Sage for 50 cents. It will make any woman’s hair grow thicker, more beautiful and more lustrous in a few weeks. It cures dandruff by killing the microbes, and it is guaranteed by Holthouse Drug Co., to cure dandruff, stop falling hair and Itching scalp in two weeks, or money back. Get a bottle while it’s on your mind. It is a most pleasant hair dressing, and is not sticky or greasy. For sale by Holthouse Drug Co., or direct, all express charges prepaid, from Giroux Mfg. Co., Buffalo, N. Y. o NOTICE TO CONTRACTORS.

KERN IS AT HOME (Continued from page 1 ) Graves, vice presidential nominee on the Independence party ticket. I paid Mr. Graves a high but deserved tribute. The silence was again painful. Tho audience was so quiet that it hurt. I changed the- subject, realizing that I was treading on dangerous ground. The Georgia vot eof more than 100.000 for Brown for governor Indicated quite clearly that Georgians have no mind to run after strange gods this year. I am not alarmed over the straw vote of the New York to Taft by 15,000. Rest assured of one thing —the victory that will give us Ohio and Indiana also will swing into line New York. Other states now counted safely Republcan will be found in the Democratic column, fcr a great social or political change does not work in spots. People think pretty much the same all over the country./What impresses one, impresses others. A political revolution is on unless all signs fail —I am confident that November 3 will tell a tale that will surprise many who will not believe even though it be shouted from the house tops to them.” . ——o POLITICAL CALENDAR...
