that of the president of the United States. He is, therefore, a national figure, and the warfare on his account against the election cf congressmen who support him is second only in importance to his defeat in his own district. He has well earned his distinction as the greatest obstacle in public life to the advancement of either the material or the moral welfare of the American people. There is no consistent Course before an appreciative £nd self-respecting public except to promptly eliminate him and his kind from the public service. He has particularly invited this from us by his in-

solent effrontery to the representatives of the general conference of our church. Our Ephworthians within his district can perform no greater immediate public service than in assuring his defeat.” It is certainly becoming clear and ar parent to every Christian voter, that there is but little left him to do at this election but to vote 'er straight for Bryan, Marshall and Adair. The two national figures are not in the same class when it comes to pinning their faith in the divinity of Jesus Christ. Marshall is a total abstainer, has no membership with any fashionable club where drinks are served every day and night and Sunday, too. Should “Uncle Nate" be elected to congress he will cast his vote for Joe Cannon, whom the Epworth Herald says "is the greatest obstacle in public life to "the advancement of either the material cr the moral welfare of the American people.” Congressman Adair will not vote for Mr. Cannon and of course should receive the support of those who believe that "Cannonism. standpatism and rank immorality’’ has served its day at the head of our national congress. Marshall Day in Decatur, Wednesday, October 27. Make it a hummer. Congressman Adair spoke at Bluffton last night to the largest crowd of the campaign. This is the story from every point in the district, and it is but a slight indication cf which way the wind blows. His friends are nowtrying to make his majority exceed that of two years ago. The Record-Herald claims the two Lakotas republican on a straw vote of a few hundred. Just as well claim Delaware county democratic on the straw vote of Wednesday, when out cf a total vote of forty, Bryan shows a gain of eight votes. Still no democrat will claim Delaware county. But it might.—Bluffton Banner. The Panama canal graft, wherein men close to Rcosevelt and Taft are said to have made a rake-off of over $20,000,000 in unloading the old French company on the United States government, gives some inkling of the kind of rottenness that may be found in Washington if the books are opened | down there. The look of this Pana-

ma canal business is all the worse when it is considered that a brother-in-law of the president, a brother of Candidate Taft, the treasurer of the Republican national committee and the chief financial backers of the Taft campaign are all said to have participated in the slicing of the Panama pie. Wlhat has become of “Uncle” Nate and his eight-dollars-per-day man Patterson? One never hears of either of them any more. Patterson has publicly confessed that the “expert” investigation was all a sham for political purposes, perpetrated by one N. B. Hawkins. Patterson is no longer an issue in the congressional situation but Mr. Hawkins is, and the voters who love clean politics and an able, diligent and honorable member of congress will set down on “Uncle” Nate in no unmistakable terms about twelve days hence. He will be the "horrible example" to the political aspirant who seeks to besmirch the good name of an honorable and honest fellow citizen. —Portland Sun. We very much object to having Mr. Hornaday presented by W. D. Folke, oi Richmond, Ind., with a membership iti the Ananias Club. Mr. Hornaday said in the News a few days ago that the entire federal machine, with the exception of the courts, was being used by the president to elect Mr. Taft. This statement W. D. Foulke, of Richmond. Ind., said, in his speech cf Tuesday night was not true. The statement is true, absolutely true. It is known and admitted to be true by every man in the United States who is informed on the subject, except by those who do not want to believe the facts. Mr. Hornaday is a truthful, careful man, a man of the highest character, and one who has had abundant opportunities to inform himself. He is. too, one who could have no possible motive in im/isrepTesenting the facts. He told the truth about this business. Fortunately, the people have reached a point where they are no longer willing to accept a mere denial of charges made against the president as conclusive. They remember the Harriman contribution of four years ago to the Republican campaign fund, and they remember many other things. It is. we are happy to say, no longer enough to deny, no longer enough to charge other men with being liars. There must be proof. President Rcosevelt is at the present time in practical charge of the Taft campaign. and the officeholders are helping him. Mr. Hornaday knew what he was talking about.-- Indianapolis News. Frank W. Tucker, state food and drug inspector, has visited Elkhart and ordered a general clean-up in restaurants and similar places there. o-—— NO REASON FOR DOUBT.

|the duroc sale ■j - - D. E. Studabaker’s Big Event at Glendale Farm Next Week A GOOD CHANCE For Every Farmer to Make An Easy Piece of Money We wish to call the attention of our readers to the sale advertisement m this issue of our friend and breeder of pure bred Durocs, D. E. Studabaker, of Decatur, Indiana. He expects to hold his sale on Thursday. Oct. 29, 1908. at which time he wi» sell at public auction forty-five head of tried yearling sows, spring boars and gilta. He expects to sell the tried sows, fifteen in number, with free breeding services to eleven of the most prominent boars of the breed in the United States. Four of the boars have won Grand Championship and the rest first in class at the state fairs of 1907 and 1908 in the states of Indiana. Ohio, Illinois, lowa and Missouri. If you are in need of boar now is the time to buy one, use bim this fall and next spring and then fatten him out and sell him to the butcher for as much if not more than you paid for him. The hog outlook for the coming year never looked better. Government statistics show the crop of hogs for 1908 to be five million short of the crop of 1907. On account of high feed last fall and winter almost everybody sold their brood sows. Every stock buyer will tell you that he bought last winjjpr in the neighborhood of 1,000 head of old sows. Then you all sold your pigs at 60 to 80 pounds each rather than feed them out. In starting again why not start right? Buy a tried sow or giltgpt as much if not less than you will pay at farm sales for a grade sow and start in right. Mr. Studabaker does not look for any high prices. His offering is not fat. but in good growing condition. Think this matter over, study it from both sides and plan to attend sale. Free dinner served to parties attending sale. Sale to start at 12:30 sharp. Sale under cover. Auctioneers, Fred Reppert, Decatur, Ind.: H. L. Iglehart, Morganfield. Ky.; Ed Bowers, Plymouth, Ind.; H. B. Carroll, Hartford City, Ind. Parties from a distance will register at either the Murray or Park Hotels, Decatur, Ind., say they have come to attend Studabaker’s hog sale and that pays the bill.
