PIN C H OT WAS THERE If any further evidence were needed as to the predilections and affiliations of the “bosses” in the Republican party than is supplied by their own records, Gifford Pinchot, progressive Republican and close friend of the late President Roosevelt, sup plies it. In a recent speech before the Republican Presidential Club at Cambridge. Mass., Pinchot said of the G. O. P. leaders: "The reactionaries are enemies of the people, for they are owned and controlled by the special interests which keep the cost of living high and continually drive it higher. Crane, Harding. Watson and their like, and Penrose, the flower of the flock, are the little brothers of the profiteers. They believe in money first and human welfare, if at all. afterward. Without such men as these the great monopolies could never have been formed.” At another point in his speech. Pinchot said: “How far these men have misread the signs of the times is almost incredible. For example, during the sessions of the Republican National Committee in Chicago last March, the man most discussed as a candidate for Presidency was Jim Watson of Indiana, a candidate who would be little more acceptable to the average Republican voter than John D. Rockefeller or Penrose himself. 1 was there, and I know.” Wells county gets thirty-eight miles of state roads which means that the tax payers here will be assessed to build brick roads entirely through that county each way and Crystal Theatre ■ .MF jk \\\ /$r ■'"O • /// gw \\\ i in 1 Mb.

If any effort on, our part would make the commission change their mind that effort shoui.l i be made and at once. If the mon m g U charge of the work can show us that B a road from Fort Wayne to Portland J should run through Bluffton, missing 5 Decatur. Monroe. Berne, Geneva and I Briant, they have rubber minds that ) s can be inflated to suit themselves. It’s a rotten deal and it will not soon 1 be forgotten if permitted to stadn.

" The thing to do is to prepare a place 1 where they can be properly cared for.

It’s not a square deal. I You may be for the tuberculosis sanitorium as strong as anybody, ; but how will the commissioners or I any one else know it unless you say so?
