Heineke, for many years pastor of I the St. John’s Lutheran church at; Dubuque, lowa, was published in the Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette and should be read by every German who ' is in doubt lom erning his duty m the coming election: “I for one am not .ashamed to con-1 fess that I have misjudged the presi-' dent.” “We misjudged President Wilson’s position in this world conflict, says Mr. Heineke. Jn beginning his state-1 ment, "asuming it to be pro-English | and un-American. Naturally, we identified his actions with those of the pro-British press, every utterance w’hich appeared to the GermanAmerican element to reflect the mind of our government. “Republican party interests have not been slow to make capital out of this state of affairs and to work the German-American vote for all it is worth, by the German language press. In the heat of the controversy we overlooked entirely that the republican party, if it had been in power, and containing the most pronounced anti-German element of America, of the type of Cabot Lodge, Elihu Root and Robert Bacon, probably already would have our country driven into an alliance with England and into war’with Germany. What a howl that stanch supporter of re- , publican Candidate Hughes, Mr. Roosevelt, set up against President Wilson for his failure to take action i : against German on account of . the ‘invasion’ of Belgium and. especially, , for not promptly declaring war after ; the Lusiatnia disaster. “If ever anyone made it a point to show his contempt for GermanAmericans and to wilfully misinterpret their stand for impartial neu- 1 trality, it certainly was Theodore c

Ropaevelt, And he takes the stump for Mr. Hughes, and, after he has ' made that wild Maine speech, de- 1 nounelng everything German in t Rooseveltian fashion, he is made the 1 recipient of a congratulatory message t from the republican candidate. I “If. after these disclosures of the i rest! sentiment in the republican , ranks toward the German-Americans, j they sill cannot see where to get off, they never wtjll. In the hands of these men. the United States today would not be peacefully pursuing her | undisturbed course, but would be engulfed in the vortex that has swallowed almost all of the world powers. With these men in the government of i the United Stales the hard-pressed | German nation could not have arrived at a peaceful solution of the ditticulties arising between Germany and the United States out of English aggres- < sion, • “1 harbor no resentment against the . president now. 1 feel the* for many things said and written n.'.'.hirt him the German citizens owe him an apology. Our criticisms of his actions and motives has «t times passed all bounds of discretion. No allowances were made for the difficulty es the international problems he h: d to wrestle with, no attempt was made to understand his motives. He was set down as a man whose sympathies were all British, not American. “Now. in the ligl|t of more recent developments, in view of republican activities and official utterances. I ask myself, who is American first and last Wilson, who has steered the I hip of state through unaparalleled dangers and kept us out of war. or these men. who are the leaders of the republican party, and who have brought all the immense pressure of big capital and inflamed public opinion to bear upon that lone man at the head of the nation, counseling war in sympathy with England and. while abusing the German-Americans in terms Wilson never used.’playing out the German vote against the man who has stood like a rock in the way of all exploiters of truly American l interests? "I. for one. am not ashamed to con- | fess that I have misjudged the preside it. and 1 see clearly that he felt that he had to speak out as he did to 1 awaken the country and by putting ! upon congress the pressure he could bring to bear, force it to yield agreei ment to his way of handling the submarine issue, w’hich we all now must grant was the right way. “None of the pro-ally republican press doubts for a moment Hughes is just as proally as his spokesman. Roosevelt. I wonder that I the German Inaguage press fail to take notice qf these facts which tell all German-Americans in plain lan- . guage, as plain as can be. that the republican party intends to use the German vote merely as a catspaw in this campaign, ophe blind ’anything-to-l>< at-Wilson sentiment of theirs is a valuable ally in the fight of the enemies of peace against Wilson, and the republican campaign leaders play a very clever game,in playing the German vote out against the president. If we fail to see that now. we shall have to see our previous mistake after the election, when the mask will fall off thb faces of false friends if. unfortunately, the president shall be beaten. "1 fear when the game is up. German voters will regret to see that they have been ‘sold.’ In the hands of Huntes and the republican party > the issues the German-American stood for will be handled in roughrider fashion, and. what is more, America’s hitherto wise and peaceful course will be put in the gravest danger ” ’ - Read Ralph Knoff’s leter in today’s paper and you will have some idea of the feeling of about ninety per cent of the railmen of the country.

Senator Underwood’s speech at Fort Wayne last night was one of the most interesting heard in this campaign, according to the verdict of those from here who heard him. He discussed in a fair and impartial manner the great questions of this campaign and made clear to every one in his audience the importance of re-electing President Wilson. - L Jg IS A laboring man told us this morning that he intended to vote for WilI son because he felt satisfied that he was the friend not only to the railroad men. but to every laboring man in this country, and he said also thafl he could not understand how any working man in the city or country could afford to go back on the man who has proven himself a real friend —and they won’t. Business seems to be going along pretty good, don’t you think? Well, you remember, don’t you, how the n-j publicans have always argued that you ought to let well enough slope? 1 It is far more important that you do so this year than ever before, and it doesn't make any difference whether you are a first voter or as old as that ninety-seven-year-old citizen at Columbia City who will this year cast h>s, first democratic vote, you should this year xote for Wilson. The tide continues to swing to] Presidfcpt Wilson. His meeting at Indianapolis yesterday, while not a partisan campaign event, was the! greatest demonstration ever witness--ed in the capital city. Thousands and! thousands of people packed every] street and cheered him every minute] while all that could get within range of his voice listened to his speeches: upon “good roads” and “The farmers’ credit law.” The people are tori President Wilson and he will be reelected on November 7th by a majority that will leave no doubt in the minds of the people of every nation in the world. -_ ■ — h DOINGS IN SOCIETY ] WEEK’S SOCIAL CALENDAR.

40 YEARS ON THE JOB. I put 40 years in the study and practice of medicine and pharmacy before 1 was fortunate enough to secure and perfect the wonderful prescription for Number 40 For The Blood and at this late date in life 1 would not offer suffering humanity a medicine that I did not believe better than any offered by any doctor or druggist. I have observed the effect of 40 in thousands of cases and can safely recommend it in all diseases of the blood such as specific blood poisoning, in chronic rheumatism, catarrh, constipation, stomach and liver diseases, to cause sores and ulcers to heal and disperse nodes, tumors and scrofulous swellings.

Griping pains came in my stomach. 1 tmd indigestion. I felt tired and worn out aJI the time. “Tanlac certainly has pulled me out of a bad h’ole. 1 eat heartily now. The pains have banished from my stomach. The indigestion has been relieved and 1 sleep well and feel fine now.” Tanlac, the Master Medicine, is especially beneficial for stomach, liver and kidney trouble, catarrhal complaints, rheumatism .nervousness, loss of appetite and the like and is line for relieving the after effects of hard coughs, Lagrippe, pneumonia and the like. Tanlac is now sold ex- ■ clusively in Decatur at the Smith, Yager & Falk drug store.—Advt. ABSTRACTS OF TITLE.

During our conversation with him, he fvas asked “How is the title to your fa|fni? H answered “Oh! the title is all right. I am sure of that.” “Have you an abstract?” we asked. “No” he answered, “but suppose you make me up one and let us see how it shows up.” We made uf> the abstract. The title showed bad. He was a surprised man. Happly. we found him well informed as to former ownership and with a little effort the errors were cleared up without expense. “Well well,” said he “I am glad wo got at that right now while I am alive as it saves me or my heirs lo s of future trouble.” Have you an abstract?
