Jones by the Senate contains a paragraph which no clear-headed and soul-hearted lover of his country can read unmoved: "I believe that the judgment and desire of the whole country cry out for a new temper in affairs. The time has come when discriminations against particular classes of men should be absolutely laid aside and discarded as unworthy of the counsels of a great people. The effort for genuine social justice, for peace, the peace which is founded on common understandings and for prosperity, the prosperity of co-operation and mutual trust and canfldence, should be a united effort without partisan prejudice or class antagonism. It is only of such just and noble elements that the welfare of a great country can be compounded. We have breathed already too long the air of suspicion and distrust. The progress of reform is not retarded by generosity and fairness.” The noble and manly eloquence of that paragrapli needs no illustration or explanation. Read it again; then think al>out it and take its appeal to heart. It is indeed time that all clearheaded and soul-hearted Americans should highly resolve to strive toward and achieve the “New Temper” for which the President of the United States appeals. If the voters of Adams county want a September registration day they will have to be getting busy for the petition must be signed by three hundred ' free holders and filed by August 15th. Colonel Roosevelt is being sued for libel by William Barnes, the demand being $50,000. Teddy has employed his attorneys and will fight, but just the same he will probably be a little careful of his words from this time on. As an instance of the way in which

and Is being backed for the place by the entire Indiana congressional dele gatlon. A representative of the American Woolen Company, who is in Philadel phia taking up wool, says that three of the company's largest mills, in Law rence, Mass., are being operated da) and night, and are in want of skillo< help. The mills are turning ov.t worsteds. —Philadelphia Public Ledgei (Republican). The Cleveland Worsted Mills Com pany, of Cleveland, Ohio, has increas ed its capital stock from $3,000,000 t< $10,000,006, and in doing so it make: the following announcement: “Rec er. tariff legislation has brought about : change in business conditions in con section with our industry. It will be come necessary for the company to tn large the volume of business, thercb) requiring additional manufacturini facilities.” Circulars are being distributed ovei the county proclaiming that the sum o $7504 41 was expended last year t< maintain the surveyor’s office and tt prove it the numbers and amount: of orders issued by the board of com missioners are given. The statement: nether prove nor disprove any thirj | that we know of and do not claim tha 1 I any of the charges were excessive Emphasis is made of the fact tha' about $3,000 of this amount was pah to Charles Ernst which is no doub' true. If a single dollar of that mone) was wrongfully paid these midnigh spreaders of campaign literature havt two months before election' in wliicl to cause the arrest of the culprits oi to file suit on officials’ bonds de manding the return of the money. 1: the money expended was due Mr Ernst there is nothing to complair about. Like all the rest of the issues raised by Milton Miller and his crowd of boosters the statement published is misleading either because oi ignorance or purposely. The truth about the matter is that Mr. Ernst did complete some roads during last year and he drew for that servict iabout S9OO out of which he paid ah expenses and some deputy hire. The last legislature passed a bill authoriz ing the surveyor or any one else who had earned money on road work tc draw same, which was right. If the county owed any money for the build ing of roads or for preliminary work on roads, they ought to pay it and they did. The statements issued sty that the bills were for work done last year which is absolutely false. The greater part of the money was for work done several years before but which had never been drawn, and tc which Mr. Ernst was entitled under j DOINGS IN SOCIETY | WEEK’S SOCIAL CALENDAR.
