If you chance to hear the word, “Ryo” do not expect to see a man go down to his bootleg and extract a bottle of spirits. Nothing of the kind. He may be a bull moose candidate and he is simply exorting his brethren to "remember your obligation."— Hartford City News. Four republican candidates for governor and United States senator are spending the almost unbelievable sum of a half million dollars to secure nominations for offices which pay very modest salaries. If the democratic candidates were spending one-fiftieth part of it, the fact would be screamed across the front page of every republican paper in the state. Can you imagine any reason why any one would spend SIOO,OOO to secure an $8,500 office? There is only one answer. They will represent the interests to whom a paltry hundred thousand dollars means nothing. If the ordinary citizen believes that his best interest will be thus served, he is less intelligent than is usually credited to a Hoosier. We don’t believe they will stand for it. That was some bump they gave Senator Elihu Root in the New York'convention yesterday and is but the start of a rumpus that will conclude in the g. o. p. convention at Chicago in June If the politicians work out the many places in the republican organization and please the candidates of that party and the progressives as well, they will sure enough prove their ability in framing up. In New York yesterday an effort to adopt a resolution declaring for Root as their favorite son lor the presidency was defeated. Root presided and in his speech declared for a firmer foreign policy, against the early independence of the Phillipinos and against a few other things including President Wilson. The democrats are willing to put each and all of his propositions up to the people with President Wilson as their candidate. There is no just reason why the democratic national and state administrations should not be continued in power. President Wilson by the aid of a democratic congress gave the people the best banking and currency law ever passed in this country. This law made panics a thing of the past; it tobk the power from the money nabobs of Wall street and transferred it to Washington, and the various channels of trade; it made it possible for every business man to borrow money on reasonable security; this administration has kept the country out of war; it has reduced our taxes; it

• has been instrumental in bringing : about the most prosperous times till--1 country has ever known. The state administration has paid off the state debt; has given the people sane and safe policies; there are no scandalor malfeasance in office. What better could the people expect from any political party?—Marion Leader-Tribune. We have had several encouraging replies to our request for opinions as to what ought to be done concerning the observation of the Indiana Centennial and we believe the people of this community want it. It has been suggested that a public meeting Ire called for the purpose of ascertaining the desire of our people and we believe this a good suggestion. Like all

’ similar events the responsibility will ’ probably devolve on a few people, 1 though this ought not to be true. If ■ every one will help a little, it can be done so much better and so much 1 easier. We insist that more people ought to expres- themselves right now. Let’s not be dead ones. Just a little enterprise on your part at this time will make possible in Decatur next fall the greatest public event ever given in this county. Don’t expect your neighbor or any one else to do this. Be a public spirited citizen yourself. Say whether or not you want an Old Home Week, a centennial, an observation of our eightieth birthday. And when the meeting is called, if it is, be on hand and express your opinion one way or the other. Now is the time. ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR CONGRESSMAN.

• The Science of Diet. People of a nervous disposition need a nourishing, nerve-building diet. Eggs served in various ways, milk, cereals. , etc., should form a standard part of tbe diet. Be careful of a lavish use of tomatoes, red meats. Supply your table with quantities of frutt and fresh vegetables, and serve bran bread or biscuits frequently. Should you have a tendency to obesity, be careful to avoid an excess of starch and sweets Consult your physician about any especial tendency that you know your Snily or any member of it to possess. I, guided by his advice, eliminate such foods as might be harmful. In families where there is no special indisposition or hereditary tendency to be considered, let common sense guide you, read up on dietetics and keep your table free from unheaith ful combinations and indigestible foods. You will And the study an interesting one, but beware of fade. A diet must be varied to be wholesome, and it is better to use spices and condiments in moderation than to let your table lack flavor from overseal in leaving out everything that is not pre-eminently wholesome. . ( , Woman’s Greater Courage.

Men have offered up ■their lives by the thousands upon the field of battle, but in the struggle for existence worn - an is continually offering up her life s for man. 11 there is a mission of mercy to perform she undertakes it . If there is suffering or distress to succor, her willing hand is always ready. If wretchedness and misery need a comforter she is present. She suffers herselt without a murmur or complaint. and the man that would in the slightest degree add to it and increase the anguish that it is her lot to bear is beneath the level of the brute. If she should happen to possess defects and faults, which every human being has in a greater or less degree, let him compare them with her virtues, and especially with his vices, and every impulse of his better being will prompt him to overlook them and make due allowance therefor.—lsldor Rayner. Eliminating Hawks. In some sections the hawk problem is one of the hardest. A poultry yard with the top covered with wire netting is a sure protection. I have used such a yard, and it kept out cats as well as hawks. But it was expensive to and is not practical for large operations. Shotguns and scarecrows are practical. One of the best scarecrows is a dead hawk on a pole near the chicken run. If you can’t kill a hawk, make an artificial one out of cloth. Bright tin cans hung where they will flash in the sun and also strike each other when the wind blows are effective. A lifelike dummy holding a gun is good, too, especially if you shoot at the hawks occasionally yourself. Steel traps se# on high piles so the chickens will not get caught are also good.—Farm and Fireside. \ L Old Temperance Organizations. It was in Germany that temperance organizations may be said to have had their birth. The first of these was the Order of St. Christopher, formed by Sigismund von Dietrichstein on January 18, 1517, the members of which were pledged to abstain from toast drinking. This was followed by the so-called Order of Temperance, founded by the Landgrave of Hesse on December 25, 1600. The members of this * order solemnly pledged themselves on the Holy Scriptures not to drink more than seven glasses of liquor at one time, and that not oftener than thrice a day. From this it will be seen that while the order may have been one of temperance it was certainly not one of total abstinence. c \ s Macaulay and His Razor. Macaulay was a self-shaver —though not with a safety—and the woeful results are recorded in his biography. When he sailed for India and his chambers were cleared, there were found between fifty and sixty strops, hacked into strips and splinters, and innumerable in every stage of disrepair. At one time he hurt his hand and had to go to the barber. After the operation he asked the charge. "Oh, whatever you usually give to person who shaves you,” was the amswer. "in that case,” said Macaulay, “I should give you a great gash on either cheek.” Legislate Against Debt. To such an extent do all classes of India load, themselves with unsupportable debts for the sake of tho show and pomp of a marriage occasion that the government of India has oecome aroused and has passed laws Intended to make impossible the incurring of debt beyond thfte ability to pay, together with much-needed legislation aimed at money lenders, who have been accustomed to extort enormous rates of interest from the helpless ryots. t Her Grievance. When the season was almost over a storekeeper in a small southern town put a lot of dollar shirt waists in the window at 75 cents. "Say, what kind of bizness you call dis?” asked an old colored woman. “Is dat de way you try to make a liar out of yo’ customers? After I been telling all de cullud folks in de neighborhood dat I paid at dollar : for this shirt waist, you come an’ spoil my reputation for veracity. Las' time I ever gwine to do bizness here.’ A ,
