Indiana. *s second class matter. - I Today we observe the anniversary of the birth of that great and good man. George Washington, the father of his country, first in war. first in peace, first in the hearts of his countrymen During these times when the world is stirred by war on sea and land, the history of this greatest American ought to be read with greater enthusiasm than ever in our history. A half dozen names are being sug- . Rested for the non-partisan election to select a delegate to tional convention. The " duty is t: most important one and one in whi< h the greatest care should be exercised. The man selected for this job will have the most Important duties giv- u to any man. his vote affecting property valued at many millions and tjv rights and liberties of generations to come Lets be wise and careful. The federal drag net is being pulled in ami taught fast in the meshes thereof seem to be a number of prominent political workers, including both democrats and republicans. The Evansville arrests include twentyone democrats and eighty-one republicans. Just how serious are the specific charges will not be known until the trials are heard but it js likely that with each succeeding campaign the men in charge of getting out the vote will be more careful. Governor Goodrich apeared bi-*>re the senate committee last night anl argued for the excise tax bill, which it "isj said will bring in to the starttreasury something like four or five million dollars. He says he met have money to pay for the highway commission, which is not yet provi led by law. that the expenses are higher than they were last year, that thlegislature has appropriated various sums for various purposes, all of which must be met and that th- 1 money which comes in from the corporations will be used for that pu'lose, all of which may be true, Imt what of that promise of economy that was heralded from one of the state to the other during the campaign? That at least some of the republican members of the state senate are not allowing Governor Goodrich to lead them around by the nose is shown by the following from one of them: "The state debt is entirelywiped out. this being to the credit of the democrats, and there is a splendid balance of real cash on hand SOCIETY BRAND CLOTHES Ard First In the Very First Rank $22.50 to $30.00 ' -—- THE MYERS-DAILEY COMPANY

Now. I wish somebody would give me a sane reason why we should at this time proceed to c-xhausf our taxing resources. Surely republicans, with all their boasis and promises of economy and all their c riticism of demo erats who paid the state debt of over three millions left us as a balance on hanA in excess of over tive millions. are not preparing for a drunken spree of extravagance. We should not forget that occasion might arise when an excise tax might be legitimately necessary. Let us conserve and use this resource when we must." • 0 DOINGS IN SOCIETY | WEEK’S SOCIAL CALENDAR.
