Entered at the poetofflee In Decatur, Indiana, as second-class matter. Col. Theodore Roosevelt has let it become known on what conditions he will support the republican nominee for president in 1916. it appears that he would like to see Theodore Roosevelt the nominee and frankly says he has in no way indicated that he favored any other. It is not likely that the republicans will seek advice from Theodore next year.—Goshen Democrat. The democratic meeting at Indianapolis Wednesday of next week promises to be the big red letter event of political Indiana this year. Mr. Redfield, of President Wilson’s cabinet, and one of the important members of that important body, will deliver the principal address. Business men from every section of Indiana will attend. Later a love feast will be held in each district in the state. It cannot be found in the arithmetic tables, but a Missouri paper, the Seneca Dispatch, says: ■'Three grins make one smile, three smiles make one laugh, three laughs make one happy.” The table proved an inspiration to another Missouri paper, the Wheaton Journal, and this was the result: ‘‘One smile makes a flirtation, one flirtation makes two acquainted, two acquaintance make one kiss, one kiss makes several more, several kisses make an engagement, one engage-

ment makes two fools, two fools make one marriage, one marriage makes two mothers-in-law, two mothers-in-law make a red-hot time.” It is noticeable that Ute republican press of Indiana is not devoting any space to the fact that Mr. Shat'uck, republican candidate for congress from the Fifth district, which by the way, includes Terre Haute, together with five of his co-conspirators, will be tried next month for election frauds,and before Judge Anderson, too. Surely politics lias nothir.j to do with this great and wonderful house cleaning that is going on, thoguli one might be led to believe so from a perusal of iiie big ci.y I apers of the state. Colonel Roose, oil's charges ag- nst William Barnes, at- a r.-. u.t of which the latter is now demanding libel damages in the sum of $50,000 rom the ex-president, were made Curing the heat of a political campaign. and it is said this fact will be pleaded in extenuation for the accusation. There has prevailed in some quarters .or a good many years the impression that the exigencies of a political contest lifted all restraint and made permissible statements of almost any characted whatever, whether well-founded or with nothing more stable than mere suspicion as basis. The outcome of the trial naw in progress at Syracuse should prove enlightening as a test of this mooted question, not only in New York, but in other states as well—Fort Wayne Sentinel.

Lucile, who tried to support the professional name of May Ford, swore on the witness stand that she had averaged taking a man a day to toe Guebard resort for the past month. Jones, who said his home was at Huntington, where he engages in the practice of medicine, testified that he came in his machine to Fort Wayne to tuy some drugs he had prompt need of and could not secure in the heme town. He brought Shepard with him to take a train here for Chicago. They went to the case at the Hotel Edwin on West Main street about 4 o'clock, and were eating supper when Lucile and Edith tripped in, gave them a high sign and all went out to the Guebard maison de joie. Then officers George Eisenhaut and Dan Kintz broke up the party and carted the bunch to police headquarters. Mrs. Guebard’s place has been under surveillance for some time and Monday the police* got it with the goods.” 1 o SEATS TO BE SUPPLIED. , All those wb.o hold tickets , for th# , senior class play, "Bachelor Hail,” to be given Thursday night at the opera house, and who failed to get them reserved this morning, should call Ellis Christen or Kenyon Walters by tele- ; phone and they will be supplied. IWhen the reservation was made this morning it was found that more tickets had been scld than there were seats. It was first, thought that the play would be repeated Friday even- / ing. The seniors, however, gave up their scats in the main hall, and will take places in the gallery, thus giving enough room for those who did not get their seats reserved. o—.

REBATE IS SURE Buyers of Ford Cars Will Receive Fifty Dollars w Says Henry Ford ONE MONTH AHEAD Mark of 300,000 Will be Reached Month Ahead of Date Fixed. August 1. The several score of buyers of Ford automobiles in Adams county will be glad to learn that Mr. Henry Ford, the head of the great concern which manufactures that popular car, has announced that barring the unforeseen, the company will pay baek to each buyer the sum of fifty dollars. It will be remembered that last year the company made the announcement of price which was a decided reduiticn over the previous year and also announced that in case they sold 300,000 cars this year, the sum of fifty dollars would be returned tc each purchaser. Recently one of the agents visited Mr. Ford and asked him concerning the promised rebate, to which the great manufacturer replied in a quiet way: "We shall sell the 300.000 cars in eleven months instead of twelve, a full month ahead of August 1. barring the totally unexpected, as we are now,from 50.000 to 75,000 behind orders and are sending out 1,800 cars a day. You may say that we shall pay back the sum of fifty dollars to each customer, barring the unforeseen. and you may say I authorized the statement.” This means that fifteen million dollars will be returned to purchasers of Fords over the country. the deal being the most vVnderful in modern business methods and accomplishments.
