President Witson is opposed to plunging this nation into war with Mexico and the people will support him in his policy. That the president has had more vexing problems than any present since Lincoln’s day is admitted and that he has handled them all wisely and carefully will, be likewise admitted if we think it all over as Americans, impartially and fairly. You can buy in the Daily Democrat more results with a two-dollar advertisement than you can get for a hundred dollars spent in circular letters which is the nearest way outside the newspaper of reaching the people. There is no reason that we know of why the business men of this community should not advertise every day in the Daily Democrat. We believe it will pay you. For seven years under democratic administrations in Indiana. Amos W. Butler, secretary of the Indiana state board of charities, and Demarchus C. Brown, state librarian, both republicans. have been retained in office, and it now develops that these men have been working under cover for some time to attack the governor, a case of biting the hand that feeds them. They ought to be “bounced" without delay. William Barnes, the standpat boss of New York, says that he will not serve as a delegate to the Chicago convention for the reason that there are powerful influences at work to bring about the nomination of Colonel Roosevelt for president and from the fact that this country is preparing for defence, he fears that if we had such preparation Roosevelt would likely plunge this country into war. Boss Barnes says that Mr. Roosevelt’s nomination should by all means be prevented and that the great state of New York will be against it. -—Marion Leader-Tribune.

IMITATORS OF OSTEOPATHY. THere are many minor schools of mechanical healing, such as Chiropractors, Mechanotherapists, Neuropaths, Spondylotherapathy and Physiotherapists, who claim to be equal or superior to Osteopaths but from the above comparison with one of these schools anyone can readily see the very evident untruthfulness of such statements and realize the importance of state laws which exist to protect citizens against ignorance and quackery. Great injury can result from the administration of mechanical treatment ignorantly as well as drugs, but those injured secrete the fact to avoid their disgrace in their experience with a quack. If you have found and been benefited by a grain of truth offered by an Imitator of Osteopathy, try Osteopathy itself, the only system of mechanical healing protected and licensed by the state of Indiana. The above comparisons and arguments have been made to refute falte statements which are so often made by the unscrupulous and they can be readily verified by referring to the catalogues of the various schools represented and the statutes of the State of Indiana.
