FUNDS OF INDIANA The republican state central committee objected to the statement that the Hanly administration used the sinking- fund of <1,500,000 in payment of current expenses. The facts are, that the Hanly administration, by ui< act of the republican legislature of 1905, transferred the three-cent sinking fund, in its entirety, to the general fund for the years 1906, 1906 and 1907, and used the proceeds of the tax, amounting to approximately sl,500.000 for the payment of current expenses. The three-cent sinking fund was restored for the years 1908 and 1909, with a joker attachment, authorizing the state board of finance to transfer the sinking fund to the general fund. The republican administrations were so economical with the state’s money that they not only manageitto Use up all their own tax levies, ineluding the special transfer of the three-cent levy from the sinking fur.J to the general lund, by the Hanly administration, but they a,’so made advance calls on the counties to the extent of fifteen million dollars. This huge sum of money was handled as if it had been a mere matter of fifteen dollars, instead of millions. And this is the party that is prating about extravagance in state administration. Nothing has transpired since the republican convention of 1912 to change the demand for the The republicans then said, "It is the duty of the state to promote by every pos-

sible means such an educational system as will truly Rive to all mtn, ■whether they go into the workshop or on the farm or into the professions, such an educational or training as will fit them to be efficient citizens." If “it was the duty of the state” a. that time, was it not the “duty of the state” on February 22, 1913? If it was then “the duty of the state,” did it make any difference what political party performed that duty? The democratic party performed that duty of the state so faithfully that the law enacted has become the model for all the states of the Union. When the democratic party passed the Australian ballot law, did not the republicans make against it bitter and determined assault? When the democratic party passed the law that took from the trust the control of the sale of school books, did not the republicans make the game charge and the same relentless pssault against it?

her election. If you did not register 'at the September session of the boar ) [ you must do so at the October session or you cannot vote in November. If you cannot get here, be sure to secure and send for filing your affidavit as required by law. The bull moosers assert that, they ] will make a vigorous campaign in Adams county and are arranging for speeches in various sections. They are slipping one over on the republl- . cans and will make a gain on their state and district ticket that will make the old politicians of the g. o. p. wish 1 they had named a county ticket instead of slipping into the scheme proposed and executed by the moosi ers. i According to the Herald, accused of , being the official organ in this county I; for the bull moosers, Harry Kitzel-j 1 man, the progressive candidate for' 1 congress, will speak at Geneva, Linn I, Grove, Berne and Decatur next week,!, and Mr. Beveridge will hold a meet-1 Ing at Berne October 23rd. Foxy Al ’ Graham, who refused to associate with such “cattle” as the republicans' seems to be putting one over on the c o. p. leaders. At least there are , two rather puzzling things about the announcement, namely, that the Herald has the inside information concerning the moosers’ dope and that ' Mr. Graham is willing to associate with the “cattle” when it’s to his ad- , vantage. Whether or not Mr. Butler is a republican or a bull mooser, we leave to him and the Huntington Press to settle, but one thing is assured, an 1 I • I that is that this year the Herald is doing just the things that the moosers would have them do. It is therefore not to be wondered at that several hundred republicans will this year vote the democratic county ticket, an I vote it straight. ..i . _ ADVENTURES OF KATHLYN. The next installment of the “Adventures of Katlilyn” will be given this evening at the Crystal. The captain of the guards sees Kathlyn in her perilous position and informs Bruce and her father, who rescue her. Umballa confides in the Majordomo and tells him the king is alive but hidden in a cave. Believing the Majordomo friendly. Colonel Hare gives him a message telling of the proposed arrest of Umballa then gives the slave poison to kill Ramabia. Kathlyn, however, gets hold of the

cup and in order to save her, the Majordomo drinks the poison and tells of the king being safe. The party then sets out for the hiding place and just as they arrive a tiger leaps on the roof of the hut but the king is saved by Katlilyn. The king cancels the forged decree. Umballa then places a tiger in the king’s room and he is killed. Colonel Hare is then forced to take the throne again and Umballa discloses the original decree.
