BEATEN IN FACTS: — A few months ago republican newspapers were publishing exaggerated reports about idle men and factories. Every time an industry laid off a few men or took its annual vacation, these newspapers heralded a shut-down because of the tariff. They left nothing undone to bring on a panic, and tried to create a state of mind in the business world that would bring about depression. Anything to help the republican party out of the mire, no matter if it did sink the country’s business. But the scheme failed. The people of this country have more money than ever before and they are going to spend it. More men are at work in the factories and more money is being paid out for wages this summer than any summer in the history of America, barring none. When the people have money they are going to have plenty to eat, good clothes to wear, automobiles to ride in and other things that go with prosperity. And the trade reports show that they are buying these things in larger quantities than ever before. Business was forced in a lot of unwilling souls who believed what the g. o. p. newspapers were preaching. Now they know better. Now, the calamity newspapers having lost the battle, have taken a new trick. They are saying that all this industry is caused by the war. But government reports show that less than ten per cent of the exports of this country are war munitions, and as only a very small per cent of our total output is exported to European countries, it is plain to see that less than two per cent of the manufactures of this country consist of war supplies. The calamity papers are making their last stand, and will be completely routed ’3 the next few months. When the campaign begins next summer the election of Woodrow Wilson will be so much of a certainty that abuse will be the only weapon left for the opposition. We can pick out a hundred straight republicans here in Henry county who intend to vote for Wilson next year and the same is true of every community in the United States. And for every republican tie.e will be three progressive votes for the man that kept this country out of

panic and out of war.—New Castle Times. m—y ".'-'ml j Some day. some crowd, some show —a big holiday with all it* joys and wonders-- and next comes the county lair with all the wonderful attractions. It’s to be the biggest and best of all. Get ready right away to take your part in that event. Mr. Ryan's opening statement in defense of Mayor Bell on trial at Indianapolis was crisp and eloquent and included the statement that the prosecution was an effort to send Bell to to the penitentiary, a conspiracy beside which the one charged against Bell and the others makes the latter seem like “the sermon on the mount.” It is said the scene during Ryan's statmont was the most exciting ever witnessed in ar. Indianapolis court and it is likely that the trial will develop some things which Rucker and the gang behind him would prw ter to have forgotten and overlooked. Henry Clews, the New York banker and financial writer, has the European situation, so far at it concerns the United States, very well stated in his woekly review of financial condittons Speaking of the Arabic and the D-mba incident he says: “It is true that there has been some decrudesence of the strain in diplomatic circles, resulting from the sinking of another liner under conditions against which our government has protested. The Austrian ambassador, too, has unfortunately complicated affairs by his proposed campaign of interference with labor in industrial plants of the United States, and our government has been constrained to request his recall. But while these are developments that are to be deplored, any broad-minded view suggests clearly that their importance during current times of excitement is very apt to be overruled. War between the United States and any of the present warring nations is highly improbable. No one wants it and there is no incentive of a practical nature to bring it about. But until the war has ended it is not improbable that from timeto time will recur shocks resulting from the numerous causes that can appear so unexpectedly at importune moments. However, our national executive has shown such a commendable degree of calmness and firmness ip connection with this war that it seems sa f e to I>resume that these various shocks will continue to be handled in a satisfactory way.” WILL CLOSE JUNK YARDS The Kalver & Company junk yards will be closed all day Saturday on account of its being a holiday.
