Governor Wilson in his trip across Indiana spoke to one hundred thousand people ancf everywhere he impressed the voters as the man to whom should be entrusted the reins ot governmental affairs at this most important time, Samuel Ralston continues to gain strength each day and his majority on election day will be the largest ever given any gubernatorial candidate in Indiana. He is a big. brainy statesman, in every way fitted for the office to which be aspires. The men on the democratic state ticket are well equipped for the places which they seek and they deserve your support. Roys, get ready to register Monday ! Help get the seven hundred de tocrats who have not attended to .Ms most importan* uiity to do so. We cannot nave a complete vole unless we do this. Get busy. It's the last call on registration and It is so important that we cant warn you enough about it. Don't let any silly notions get in your/lead that will prevent you from registering. If you do you disfranchise yourself. You must not do it. You should not let anything stand in your Some interesting bets have been posted in Indianapolis, which decidedly show the of politics in ’ndiana. For three weeks a bet of S9OO to 1300 that Ralston will be elected, has remained on the boards, untaken. Other odds are three to one on Wilson being elected or carrying Indiana, even money that Taft does not carry the electoral vote of five states; even money that Ralston's majority will not be 50,000; (15 to S2O that Durbin does not receive less votes than Beveridge; S3O to $10t» that Beveridge does not carry a county in the state. Reports from the east show that ail odds are on democratic victory and it is expected that these will go to four to one before election day. 11l ■» ““'■ “ The course of study as outlined by the department of public instruction shows very clearly the need of both academic and vocational training. It is important that every child receive some instruction in agriculture, domestic science or manual training. The value of this work in the public school is no* generaly conceded. The instruction concludes with the statement that all Indiana schools that *? e Imperial $3 Haiei “Speaking of Hats ’ The Imperial Hat is in a class by itself.

have not already done so, will do well to introduce these subjects at the earliest possible date. Mr. Greathouse makes it plain that the purpose is in the end educational and not merely to give the pupil information on manua.l skill or entertainment; the pupils will acquire manual skill of great value, but the real end sought is to enlarge bls intellectual field and especially to jjive him the right ideas about work ind industries of various kinds and to connect his school life with home work and environment. The ballots for the straw vote for the Cincinnati Enquirer failed to arrive. They will jrobably be hede in a few days and will then be sent out as was stated in our issue of Thursday. The Berne Witness advises its readers to register that they may amend the law which they say is a bad one. » Wrong, as usual, Fred. It's a good law, one of the best on the statute books, and one that will remain there long after you have done your little stunt and joined the happy throng in that world where wet and dry elections are unknown. Os course any law that mukes it harder for the republicans to w in, .s a bad law when viewed from some angles, and by some | people but it s going a good ways | when one makes the statement that a I law made to purify the ballot box «s , a bad one. For a good many years illegal votes have been “killing the I vote of the honest man, and keeping | out of office, real representatives o.' i the people who ought to be there, j This law will stop it. and that's about I the only class that is crying. PFAISE OF DECATUR PEOPLE PLEASES YOUNG — Heme People are Just Beginning to Learn Great Value of Harshone Roots and Herbs. It is certainly gratifying to Young to have so many people to call at the Holthouse dr-;g store, there to acknowledge openly the great benefits which they have experienced from the use of the HarsLone roots and herbs. It is regretted that all these kind and sincere expressions of praise cannot be publisheu, oecause the remedy is certainly doing a wonderful lot of good for many of the afflicted of this city and vicinity and the good reports are becoming so numerous that space will not allow the publication of all <;f them. Young said: “The people of Decatur are just beginning to learn the great health-giving value of Harshone roots and herbs and I am sure the praise of the rented) will soon be as great at this point as it was at Lima Huntington and other places, because J know that the roots and herbs have unequaled merits and that those who suffer with BtUuiach, liver, kidney and bowel troubles are generally benefited from the very start, and when the medicine is used a reasonable length of time it cleans the entire system of slimy mucous, waste material and i»oisonous germs and at the same time it invigorates and tones up the organa so that they cau and do work in healthy harmony. The following testimonial is a fair sample of the hundreds which we have received from those who have tried the Harshone root and herb plan of getting well. The Harshone Medicine Co.. Gentlemen; I have suffered for years with nervousness, chronic indigestion and constipation, pains In my stomach and bowels, Bloating and belching, shortness of breath and I hardly knew what a good nights sleep was until after trying almost everything else, I decided to try Harshone because everybody In Lima seemed to be recommending it. Now I want to say freely that the root and herb remedy has done wonders lor me. My old symptoms have left, my appetite is good and everything tastes right, and sleep Is as natural and refreshing as when 1 was a child." L. C. Mendenhall, 1128 W I North St.. Lima, Ohio. The testlmon- ’ lais which Young has given for publiI cation, from day to day. Proves Alt He Claims and those who have investigat ed soon learned that the testimonials are genuine and true. A dollar case of the Harshone roots and herbs can tie had at the Holthouse drug store for fifty cents until the half price sale is stopped, which Young said will be very soon.
