The oniy effect of the letter ought to be to make all Amer- ■ lean citizens see the danger involved in allowing the president cf the Unit- . ’ ed States to nominate and elect his | successor. No president certainly since Andrew Jackson, has made such strenuous efforts to perpetuate i himself in power through a man of his 1 own choice. Indeed, the whole executive department of the government 1 < has been enlisted in support of Mr. Taft. The president has been writing letters all summer!. The campaign i f has been made a matter for the con- '' BideTarion rs the cabinet At this 1 very moment the national headquar-. f ters —the actual headquarters, we f mean —°re in the president’s office at ’ Washington. Officeholders have tak- * en a part in conventions, and in pol- . ’ It lea generally, such as they have' not taken for many years. This week I will S“e every member of the cabinet on the stump for Taft. And now we have this letter in which Mr. Roosevelt attempts to scare the people out of tbeir right to cast a freeman’s vote. We ask the sober, thoughtful people of thi« land to ponder these words: | If Mr. Brv?n were elected I have , little doubt that the ensuing industrial chaos necessitating great reduction of wages end widespread non-empioy-men. Tuld be beyond the reach cf such action as that which averted the threatened disaster last spring. » » * If Taft is not elected, a period of in-I dustria! chaos and business bad times will ensue, in which the workingmen will suffer far more than any ether class. They are the people who, more than any other, will pay the penalty. These words are worthy of Mulhall, the employe cf Van Cleave's National Association of Manufacturers, and the representative of the Republican

• gressional committee. They are un- : worthy of a president of the United States. Against them we gset these words taken from a study of business conditions ynade by the Cincinnati i Enquirer: i The stock market has been running ( quite strong on prices al! the week and acts just like it wculd drop a few points after election day. No matter which party wins there will be 'n- ' augurated no sudden great boom. The business affairs throughout the agri- j cultural districts are in very goed | shape, and promise to continue so. j That will influence trade generally fop [better conditions, and it will grow better> but very slowly better, in some lines of industry. We ask, also, that, those whom the president is trying to scare, consider this analysis of the business situation: I A mercantile banker of prominence and in close touch with merchants and manufacturers in a great variety of . businesses was asked as to the mean-1 Ing of this better general buying move- j ment. He said: “It means simply that j better things in a business way after . the election is over are anticipated. I Many merchants and manufacturers ; who have participated in it would tell you that they have come to a conclusion that the elecion of Mr. Taft is a certainty and that this conclusion had given them a confident belief that business will show decided improvement after election. But my personal opinion is that in a great many instances, possibly a majority of instances, the greater confidence reflected in this wave of buying is based on a conviction that business must improve after election through the workings of the law of supply and demand without reference to the identity of the successful candidate. The success of Mr. Taft may be desired bv a majority of the business men of the country, but this does not mean that there will be a setback in case of his defeat, for the reason that the life of trade is now at a very low ebb.” There Is in all this no hint of “industrial chaos” to which Mr. Roseveit makes two references. On the contrary, it is insisted that business must revive, no matter who is elected, for the reason that it has become so bad under Roosevelt’s administration that any change must be for the better. And that is the truth. Mr. Bryan put the case very clearly when he said that you could not scare a man who was sleeping on the floor by telling him that he was going to fall out of bed. This talk about industrial chaos” is simply outrageous, indicating a willingness to have it result from the election of a man whose candidacy the president does not approve. If anything could bring it about it 'would be just such urfpatrioiic utter- ' ances as that of which the president |of the United States is guilty. He has deliberately chosen to align him--1 self with the coercers. Not only that, but he goes far beyond any of them. News, Rep. * THE PANAMA STEAL On the theory that it was to be pa’d to common people of France who bad put their small savings in the stock of the French Panama Canal Compa ny, there was taken from tns United States treasury and put in rhe bank of J. Pierpont Morgan the great sum of forty million dollars. It is now declared that only three and one-half millions went to France, the balance geing into the pockets of American speculators who had the favor of tne Roosevelt administration. The account stands: j Paid out of the U. S. treas ury .. $40,000,000 ’ Paid to the French stockholders 3,500,000 To be accounted for $36,500,000 The men whose names have been used in connection with this transaction are J. Pierpont Morgan, William Nelson Cromwell, Charles P. Taft, (brother of W. H. Taft), Douglas Ricbinson (brother-in-law of Theodore Roosevelt), George R. Sheldon, treasurer of the Republican National committee. Who got the - money? Decatur and Adams county will give John Worth Kern a royal welcome tonight, and wist him success and election along with that greatest nf ( all Americans, W. J. Bryan. The Kern party will receive no better or more sincere welcome in all their travels, than they will receive in Decatur tonight. Join in the glad ao- ; .HP .inn . —

■ ciaim to one of Indiana's most dis languished citizens. Like ali Republican speakers, Senator Beveridge devoted the short time cf his address to explanations and excuses for his party, but net a line of discussion of the issues as they affect the American people. The senior senator is a brilliant speaker, but even with that is not a shining success as. fin excuser. His reception in Decatur I was truly Democratic in its simplicity j and cur people gave him the glad hard in true hoosier style. A party that is in earnest in fighting for temperance does not send ou r letters to brewers and saloonkeepers begging financial help. In his cam- • paign the republican party is proclaiming that it is going to wipe out the /saloons in Indiana and at the i same time the saloons and breweries are asked to send contributions to Mr. J. Wood Wilson, at Marion, Ind . j for campaign purposes. What kind lof a 'double-back-action game woul-1 you call that, anyway? The Hanly crowd is out after the temperance vote and the other fellows are quietly telling the liquor interests that republican success is not to be feared by them. —Columbia City Post. When Democratic speakers who a:e canvassing the state drop 4nt.o state headquarters they'all tell the same sory cf Democratic enthusiasm. They find that everywhere the tide is running high for Bryan and Kern and Marshall, and not one of them has expressed the least doubt about Democratic success. The most conservative estimate of the majority for the Democratic ticket is 20,000, and the figures given run all the way up to 75,000. Many 'tlareful political -stui dents believe that the Democrats will win in the state by 40,000 to 50,000. There has been a good deal of betting and there will be a lot more between new and next Tuesday. One bet of SIO,OOO on Marshall against SB,OOO cm Watson was made last Saturday in Indianapolis. and it represents the prevailing odds on the gubernatorial race. When Mr. Taft was going through the state last week he frequently referred to the fact that business men were placing orders for goods conditioned on his election. He wanted the people to understand from that circumstance that there would be “nothing doing” if he should be defeated. But evidently Mr. Taft had not heard from all the business men. Last Saturday when Indianapolis traveling men came in off the road about a dozen of them had orders to be filled in the event of Bryan’s election, with a reservation of the right to cancel if Taft should win. And this right here in Indiana, where Mr. Taft was spending three days trying to bolster up his chances. There is a rapidly growing feeling among real business men that the election of Taft would mean that the panic would not only continue but that it would become vastly worse than it is. As one man expresses it the other day, “the Republican party brought this panic on the country, it has not been able to stop it and I am going to vote for a new deal.’’ And that is the way thousands of other Republicans are looking at the matter. Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Kraushoff returned to Fort Wayne last evening. They were here attending the Kirchner and Bleeke wedding Sunday. One week from today will mark the close of the 1908 campaign and meantime a large number cf speakers will address audiences at various places in the county. Fred Bell has assumed possession ot his new butcher shop on Monroe street, the Bain shop, and already acts like a veteran. His sale will occur on November 11th. DINNER AT G. A. R. HALL. A, dinner will be given at the G. A. R. hall Wednesday the proceeds to go toward paying expenses of that hall. You will get your money’s worth if you go.

STUDABAKER SALE Will Be Held at Glendale Farm Thursday of this Week TO SERVE DINNER Splendid Opportunity for the Farmers of this Locality The D. E.

Pay, FEEBLE OLD LADY Has Strength Restored By Vinol Mrs. Michael Bloom of Lewistown, Pa., who is 80 years of age, says: "For a long time I have been so feeble that I have had to be wheeled around in an invalid’s chair. I had no strength and took cold at the slightest provocation, which invariably settled on my lungs, and a cough would result. My son learned or the cod liver preparation called Vinol, and procured a bottle for me. It built up my strength rapidly, and after taking three bottles I Im able to do most of my work, and I can walk a quarter of a mile easily. Every aged or weak person who requires strength should try Vinol. lam delighted with what it has done for me.” As a body builder and strength creator for old people, delicate children, weak, run-down persons, and after sickness, Vinol is unexcelled.
