A GREAT PRESIDENT Tlie United States has a President who refuses to leave his work to take part in the Congressional campaign because of the situation brought on by the European war. Tims, once more the country is made to realize that Woodrow Wilson is a man to whom the good of the nation over which he has been called to preside is the first and overwhelming consideration. From all over the country and from widely differing sources there comes a strong, emphatic and continually greater expression of satisfaction that our country has a man like him for President now. The confidence reposed in him by the nation when it elected him chief magistrate has grown since he has been In office. The public has found that he has justified, and more than justified, its confidence and he is today stronger with the public than ever before, notwithstanding the fact that he has been through some difficult and

The country has a President of whom it is proud and in whom it trusts. —The Schenectady Star. HEAR JUDGE DUNCAN AT THE COURT HOUSE TONIGHT. TONIGHT AT THE COURT HOUSE —Judge Duncan, chairman of the public service commission of In diana. Hear him. EVERY VOTER SHOULD HEAR THE POLITICAL ISSUES DISCUSSED BY JUDGE DUNCAN OF INDIANAPOLIS, CHAIRMAN OF THE PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION AT THE COURT ROOM THIS EVENING. Democrats of Washington township should attend th“ convention at the court room at 7 o’clock this evening at which time nominations will be made for members of advisory hoard, justice, constable and such officials necessary to complete the ticket. Seventeen republican precinct committeemen met here the day the independent ticket was endorsed. Those seventeen simply took for granted that they could deliver tlie hundreds of republican votes in this county to any ticket. They won't be able to do it and they are realizing that fact mere and more as tlie days go by. When Milton Miller made that wonderfully sensational address at Berne he promised to make disclosures that would surprise the natives. If ho has done it he is not telling anybody. The truth is that when he investigated tilings he found out he was about as far wrong as he could be. It’s be -n a hard summer for Miltie, but then he wanted advertising and he ought to be satisfied. The following report from the local sugar company to The Sugar Industry, a trade paper, would indicate that the affairs of the company are the most satisfactory they have been since the factory was opened here:The beet crop here is splendid and a high tonnage is looked for. Everything indicates that the bottom of the grade in farming has been reached and the business of this company now is on the up grade. The factory is in

3 readiness and all help has been eni- , ployed. , It is reported that when the delegn--5 tlon from here arrived at Freidheim Monday for the palitical meeting adi vertised by the independents it was t impossible to find any one who would act as chairman of the event and it was necessary to press into service ; one of the men who had accompanied them. Yet they had the nerve to report it an enthusiastic and encourag- ’ ing meeting. r “ " Yes, it was in tlie city that the democratic party got in its dirtywork. Mr. Archbold was the choice of the free democracy of the county. —Evening Herald. Then we presume that the demo- . crats in east and west Union, east and ■ west Root, north and south Preble, north Kirkland, Washington, Berne “A” and French are not free democrats, and by the way, perhaps, it i might make a difference if you knew . that two years before Mr. Archbold carried the city by a large majority. Quite a number have solved correctly the puzzle propounded as to who the ten men are who are now opposing what they call a political machine, and have served a hundred years in the dast ten decades, as officials in Adams county. Either there is no “gang" or "machine” or they have certainly been a part of it and quite n part, too. It seems that it would be safer to trust the straight democratic ticket, which lias —inducted affairs in a straightforward way for fifty years and we believe tlie people of! Adams county have concluded to do 1 so. As in every campaign, especially one of a local nature, there are a good many things being said that should not be said, things that you may be sorry for after it’s all over and cooled off. It is wrong to accuse men of tilings of which they are not guilty. It is wrong to intimate that men are corrupt when they are not, and that is the tactics that have been used in this campaign all summer by the independents. Smooth politicians .re trying to mislead you and you should be wise enough to see through their game. It’s a case of men trying to get office. Don’t fool yourself with any other idea. They are not going to give back any of their salary. They are not going to try any harder to please you than the men now in office for they couldn't. Vote the democratic ticket. Sam Nussbaum is busy these days defending his own record as assessor and lias quit talking about tlie other fellow. You won't find him handing out any war cries that tell about the amounts charged by the various township assessors —tiiat would be personal. The facts are that Sam, who is one of the believers in reducing the

readiness and all help has been employed.

schools of this city. In 1904 he graduated from the lav, department of the University of Indianapolis and after reading law a year in the office of Dore B. Erwin, launched out for himself, soon afterward forming the partnership with Ferd Litterer. He has been succesful in his practice, is of untiring energy, a pleasant gentleman to meet and a democrat through and through. He has many friends over the county who are anxious to see him continue his success and will aid him in securing votes from every party. At the primary last December he was given a large vote, notwithstanding the fact that his opponent was one of the most popular young men of the county.

(This is ■ one of the records not to be found at 1 the treasurer’s office) but on the other ’ hand he drew down for his services > last spring 3324.25, which is more thMi * any other township paid in the couti--1 ty, excepting Washington, and is ’ more than double that paid in Union, 1 Kirkland, Blue Creek, French, Jeffer- • son and Preble. Just what right cn ’ their own records have these preachers of high taxes got to ask your vote? For six months the independents have talked about tlie democratic office holders in this county, the democratic nominees and every one eb>«) who even intimated that they intended to stay by their party at the com- ■ ing election. It was great. They would say the meanest things imaginable, talk about people grafting and taking money that did not belong to them, accuse them of everything they could think of in no gentle language if you please —but now it’s different. When the campaign opened and the democratic speakers liegan to defend and to make counter charges, then the leaders of the citizens’ ticket howled that there should be nothing personal and accused the democrats of abusing them. Too bad. It would be all right if only the candidates on one side had a record but the trouble with this fight is that those on tlie citizen's ticket have glass houses of their own to protect.

BRYAN’S PICTURE OF BEVERIDGE AND MILLER INVADING MEXICO. Here are one of two things that happened in Indiana at the time when the very serious Mexican situation was confronting this country and .when all patriotic people of the United States should have ben doing all they could to uphold the hands of the government at Washington. The president and his cabinet, supported by a senate and a house in full accord, was using every effort to prevent the sacrifice of thousands of lives of sturdy, young Americans in a useless war. The Indiana progressive state convention adopted its platform, framed by the hand of Albert J. Beveridge,

“For prosecutor, 26th judicial .disI trict of Indiana —J. F. Fruchte," is tne I way his card appears and his vote cn I election day will disclose to those who ■ have any doubts on the subject that I tills young man is a popular one la I tliis county. He is in every way I worthy of your support. He lias quallified himself for the duties of the ofIflce, has had a number of years’ exIperience at the bar and will prove Im efficient officer. J. Fred Fruchte I was born in Preble township, this I county, November 24, 1876, and has Ispent his entire life as a resident of I the county. He was educated in the Ischools of his home township aril I completed hiss education by terms at I he normal schools at Anderson, Marion and Angola. He taught four terms of country school and one year in the

candidate for United States senator, and wishing he were there even then that he might press his views to influence the acts of the president, and here is what the platform said: "The government of the United States has been flouted and made ridiculous in tlie eyes of tlie whole world. * * » * We condemn tlie socalled policy of "watchful waiting’ pursued by the president in regard to Mexico.” There was a whole lot more about its being "contrary to the wishes of the people" and the like, and Beveridge wanted no one to mistake his personal position In tlie matter and so he made a speech on tlie subject and said "watchful waiting" was simply "reckless drifting,” and the con vention laughed and figured what a fine campaign cry this was going to make. Beveridge further wept ora torically because “Theodore Roosevelt was not president to move vigorously in dealing with Mexico.” Then the republican' state convtn tlon met and with the aid of Hugh Th. Miller, who wanted the people to know what he would do If he were senator, let loose this bit of wisdom In its platform, deciding what ought to be: "We emphatically disapprove the course of the democratic admin istration toward Mexico.” But it was merely negative and these wise men had nothing to suggest. Senators Shively and Kern canu from Washington and made speeches in defense of the “watchful waiting policy of President Wilson, urging the people to stand back of him and set the wisdom of his course. . Senator Shively as acting chairman of tlie for eign relations committee was one of the strongest and most outspoken de fenders of the president at all times. Then came William Jennings Bryan to Indiana only last week to plead with the people of Indiana to vote for every democratic candidate presented to the voters of tlie state in November as an indorsement of everything th< national government is doing, and as one of his strongest arguments for returning Senator Shively and thirteen democratic congressmen he reviewed the Mexican situation, concluding as follows: "President Wilson began ills policy of ‘watchful waiting.’ He said that instead of resorting to arms he would use ‘moral force.’ And how the repub lican papers laughed at ‘watchful waiting,’ and how they jeered at ‘mor al force’ * * * “Having a democratic senate and house they stood back of him and he pushed and pushed and pushed, until he pushed Huerta out of Mexico and across the Atlantic and when Huerta went across the Atlantic he carried the hope of the republican party in his satchel. Where, I ask you, would this nation have been today, had your republican leaders have been allowed to advise a democratic president? And where would there be any nation to whom these struggling European people could look to lead a movement toward peace, if our nation were engaged in war with Mexico? Ah, my friends, it would be more than sacrificing your sons or foreign soil in an unnecessary war. It might havi been the spark that would have ig nited the powder magazines of th: old world, and then our president would have had to bear the blame for a world wide war.” Beveridge and Miller have declared where they would have stood in this most important crisis. They wanted war with Mexico. But they would not enlist. They would let your sons do that Shively has proven where he stood by his strong support of the president. The greatness of the statesman is shown in bis ability to decide widely in advance. It requires no wisdom to indorse and agree witli a thing when it has been proven. All the people thank God for Wilson and for a senate and a house that stands by him in all constructive tilings he has dor.: and is doing for the people and they will see that this condition is continued. o NOTICE TO PUBLIC.

A street pageant of 200 babies pronounced perfect by Dr. James Stewart, supervisor of hygiene of the Bt. Louis public schools, on St. Louis streets the afternoon of Monday, Oct 5, will mark the official close of the Fourth Annual Fall Carnival of the Franklin Avenue Improvement Association and the official opening of the Veiled Prophet Week festivities. The babies will vie, for popular approbation, with the Veiled Prophet and his followers, who are to have their pageant —a brilliant street parade of 21 electric floats—Tuesday night The decision to have the babies parade grew out of a “perfect baby con- , test” arranged as the central feature of the Franklin avenue carnival, which opened Sept. 28. The contest is along scientific lines, each being examined by a physician and a psychologist and scored witli the system devised by Mrs. Frank DoGarmo of 6186 Washington houlo- , vard. St. Louis, the originator of the Better Baby Contest idea, now a national movement. i Babes Wear Birthday Clothes. Every one of the 200 babies entered has an equal chance. Fine clothes, laces, ribbons and adornments count for naught in the scientific contest Each Infant is judged in his or her birthday clothes—rose petal skin. The doctor judges are not at all concerned as to tlie color of the contestants' eyes, but they must be bright and reflect Intelligence. Dr. Stewart Is being assisted at the Perfect Baby Clinic. 609 Franklin avenue, where each baby must be examined before its admittance to the Perfect Baby Temple, 611 Franklin avenue, by a staff of 30 physicians and as many nurses. Mrs. M. R. Chivvls, president of the Missouri Federation of Women’s Clubs, is the hostess-in-chief. Assisting her are more than 100 well-known club women of the city. Other officers of the contest are: Mrs. DeGarmo, director: Mrs. William Utter, regis trar-in-chief, and Miss Anita Moore, superintendent. Purpose of Movement. The purpose of the “Perfect Baby Contest” movement, which Is interesting physicians, social service workers, educators and others interested In public welfare, is to standardize the ; normal American child and establish a system whereby the normal child may receive the proper care and attention irom the cradle to the school age, its greatest formative peridd, and 1 thus to eliminate, or at least lessen the dangers to which every normal ’ nro M The PUbliC schools provide for the physical and mental examination of every child upon Rs entry, but there is no provision for ’ ‘ne child in the period prior to i age ; notwithstanding that D £ period the perfectly normal child may a become sub-normal or abnormal or , b oth through slight neglect, pervert ’■ng the lite prospects of the Individ,ual and making it a burden to society
