( t Each day republicans and progresEives tell us they are going to vote . the straight democratic ticket this: year in the county because they have no ticket of their own. Os course, there is an aid society ticket which is proving advantageous to the bull moosers but many voters have their own I , reasons for not supporting such a ticket and they mean It when they say i they won’t.

county will open at Geneva Wednesday evening of this week at which time addresaes will be made by four state candidates and Senator Van Nuys. It will be a splendid opening and the voters of the south part of the county will be given an opportunity to meet the candidates and to hear them discuss the state issues Every body invited. County Chairman Graham of the progressives attended the Roosevelt | meeting at Indianapolis Saturday eve ning and is enthusiastic over the showing. Five overflow meetings were held and if any one thinks that the moosers are backing up they would have changed their minds to have se‘-n the meeting according to Mr. Graham. Dets are being offered even that Bevridge beats Miller. Seventeen republican committeelien endorsed the independent ticket and thus attempted to deliver to the bull moose aid society the one thousand members of that party. From what we hear however they have fail<d absolutely and all the talk thev 'manufacture fsbout machine politics In other parties will not blind the .voters of Adams county. They realize that the reason that Is being done is t> distract attention from the means used by those seventeen men. "We believe that the business of the nation, like that of the state and that of the citizen, should be conducted with care, economy and system.”— Hugh Th. Miller. To point the moral, why didn’t Miller refer to the average increase of 309 per cent in the cost of running all the state offices ard institutions of Indiana by the republicans from 1893 to 1908? Is it because 'there was more “system” than economy in that record? By the way, who does not remember the “system” that legitimate fruit of republican policies —that foul combination of predatoiy wealth and venal legislation? During twelve years that the republican party was in absolute control ol I the state after it was turned over to I Governor Matthews, that party created a long list of new offices to give jobs to the faithful. These included the oil inspection department, the gas inspection department, the factory inspection department, forestry deartment. labor commission, library commission. These offices were created at the ccst of $36,700. In addition new offices were made in the department of the secretary of state, the judges of the sutorney general, the judges of thesupreme and appellate courts were all given stenographers. The total salary increases during the twelve years of republican rule were enormous and the few increases made by tire 1913

BOOST DISEASE PREVENTION DAY

That Governor Ralston has set an example that other states may follow in appointing, by special proclamation, a general disease prevention day, was declared by Dr. S. E. Earp, editor of the Indianapolis Medical

WK

Journal, in the current issue of that publication. Dr. Earp not only praises the action of the governor, but says that Indiana is a leader among the states in this matter of disease prevention. “1 read the governor's proclamation while on my vacation at Star Island, Mich.,” said Dr. Earp. “I showed it to representatives from five leading states, and it was unanimously agreed that I had v ason t 0 be proud that I hailed from the progressive state, Indiana. “So far as I know, this is the first time any governor has issued stich a document.” Dr. Earp declares that “disease prevention day” is a mark of progress f< r Indiana. He pays Governor Ralston high tribute for the many good acts that his administration has accomplished for the good of the people. “Governor Ralston was largely influential in procuring a settlement during the recent street car controversy,” he said, “and put forth every effort both as an official as well as a citizen to furnish aid to the sufferers during the great flood in Indianapolis a little

session of the legislature are not worth mentioning in comparison. K EEMMEOaaMMWffIMEMIIIiIMBBBIIIIErI t: t? | DOINGS IN SOCIETY § ; i jWOTCTwwxymimCTwa i: WEEK’S SOCIAL CALENDAR. Monday.

Mrs. Mary Crawford will entertain the St. Vincent de Paul society tomorrow afternoon at the home of Mrs. W. A. Kuebler. Mrs. Mary Smith was given an agreeable surprise Sunday at the home of Mrs. Curtis Wolfe in the south part of the city. Mrs. Smith had been invited to a chicken birthday dinner at the Wolfe home, and went there after attending church. She was surprised to find that a large party of relatives and friends, including a number of her children and their families were there, also, and that a big feast had been spread. In the afternoon pictures were taken and the day spent most delightfully with general social amusements. Mrs. Smith received a number of fine gifts.

r 'over a year ago. Now he comes to the Q front as the man of the hour showing r ,'that he believes that the health is the , state’s greatest asset." f There can be no doubt that Governor . Ralston's progressive act in declaring . for a general consideration of disease ! prevention methods will be productive I of incalculable good. As pointed out by Dr. Earp. Indiana’s governor is the . first in the country to take such ac--1 tion. and without question he will find t many followers. That the plan is recognized as one j of great merit is proved by the entbu siasm with which the state press, regardless of party, has caught up the 5 idea, and is urging co-operation on the part of the people. Reports from all i parts of the state indicate that the . schools, civic organizations and muni- > cipalities are all preparing to take part ’ in the work. 1 Indiana’s disease prevention day is I attracting from the country at large, I - when it became known a few weeks ago that this proclamation was con- 1 templated. the humane and publici spirited Nathan Strauss of New York I I wrote thus: “You have done a splendid thing in ' ‘ planning for the observance in your i state of a “Disease Prevention Day," ! s and I want to congratulate you on tak- • ing this important step. 1 regard tills one of the greatest ideas ever origin- - ated in this country, and I am sure ’t • will be copied in other states.”
