Several weeks ago it looked as though this work would be taken up by the clubs, but there have been other things to occupy the minds and this great duty has been neglected and we fear forgotten. It is so important to the health of every citizen that it should by no means be a dead issue. I Somebody should get busy. Just a year ago today the world was Startled with the report that the Titanic, greatest seagoing ship the world has ever known, had sunk, and that more than fifteen hundred souls had been lost. The sad event was celebrated in the great cities of the world, with due ceremony, where prayers 1 were offered for those who gave their ' lives a year ago. The acts of brave 1 men have been recounted and retold, and progress has been made toward 1 the prevention of a similar accident in ■ the future. • 7 j An Indiana city has appealed to Db- i catur fpr aid to the victims of the ] .recent Hood and we believe pur good people will res? 011 ' 1 rwdl1 * ' such manner as to prove out 1 real j Christianity, generosity and kindness. Though this city had a glimpse at the high waters during the recent flood, our people were fortunate and there , was practically no suffering. Other Indiana towns and ri ueg dJd nQt {are ’ so good, and in many places the loss has been so severe as to cause real suffering. Lawrenceburg asks for financiaPaid. They need it or the appeal would never have been sent out. It is better t ogive than to receive and we should give in the real spirit. The new tariff bill, when it becomes a law, do much to improve the quality of domestic manufactures. The protected interests, or many of them, have turned out products that were not what they were supposed to be. We have had poor tinplate, shoddy woolens, and poor cottons. All this has been pointed out mahy times. Not content with the wicked profits guaranteed by protection, our manufacturers have in many cases added to them by cheapening their wares. In other 1

cases they hare been almost driven to do thia by the high taxes on wool and other raw materials. So It has been necessary to enact pure food Jaws. And pure clothes and pure shoe Jaws have been suggested. The new tariff bill will be wholly in the interest of honest manufacturers, and so, in the interest of the consumer. We Shall get better goods for less money. Forced to meet, at least to some extent, the competition of the world, our people will be put on their good behavior. And the premiums on misbehavior will be greatly lessened. A woolen suit of clothes will be a woolen suit —not cotton and shoddy. And so of other products. Independent industries that are fairly capitalized will be freed from the trammels that now bind them when they seek io compete with the waterlogged trusts. Eciency and good management will at last have thefr chance. — Indianapolis News.

TO BLUE GRASS FIELDS. Hensley Pony Departs for Pastures Green Today. "Pet,” the pony, whidh has for several years delighted the hearts of the Hensley children, was sent today by express to pastures gtbeh—the blue grass fields of old “Kaintuck.” The little pony was purchased by a man at Elizabethtown, Ky., the Hensley family having no further need of her. The pony came into especially good use for the family during their summer vacations at Rome City. Last year a launch was purchased and then there was very little use for the pony. Day after day she stood in her stall here, growing fat and plump, with very few trips out upon the road, aiftl it was finally decided to sell the little animal, much as the family regretted to see her go. o Democmt Want Ads Pa*-.

Arguing The Case CON" i-aJU F*GE ONE explained that one of the best reasons why he considered that the bullet wound In the front part of the head of the deceased had caused immediate unconsciousness and contributed largely to the semi-conscious condition In which she remained was the fact that while the operation at the Fort Wayne hospital was in progress and at the time the boue, which was shattered in the forehead was raised, and the patient rallied sufficiently so that the surgeons called for more anaesthetic. This, the doctor claimed, proved that there was a compression upon the brain, and when It was removed sho immediate! began to become normal. Dr. P. S. Titus of Fort Wayne, who is used by Dr. Rosenthal to administer anaesthetics, and who officiated at the operation upon Helen Hoover, stated that when the pressure was relieved in the wound in the forehead of the patient, she showed no signs of regaining consciousness. The doctor stated that it was sometimes necessary to give an anaesthetic to patients In semi-conscious and unconscious conditions.

MR. WARNER TAKES EXCEPTION. I G. W. Warner, student at Bluffton, takes exception to an article which we republished from the Bluffton News, I when he writes the following: | ‘‘The Daily Democrat in last Thursday's issue, contained a statement to I the effect that only 700 students out of 2,000 had returned to Indiana uniiversity. This report is slightly in error since there have never been 2,000 students enrolled at one time, and At 10 o’clock this morning 1,394 had enrolled. This is just forty less than had enrolled last year at this time in the term. Between 1,600 and 1,700 were expected. The only department which did not come up with expectations is th® department of education. This is due to the fact that the teachers' training classes are required by law to be in session for twelve weeks. The flood forced the school to open one week late, hence this condition could not be complied with. However, many of the students in these classes t will probably enter for the summer I term instead of the spring term. Trusting I will not be considered Impertinent in sending this information, I am Yours very truly, . “G. W. WARNER.”
