living conditions. If they can succeed on this record in foolhig the 1 people, they are powerful indeed. Kev. Saunders, of the Presbyterian | church, delivered a splendid sermon Sunday night on •‘Optimism" that had the right ring. This is not a time to fret and worry and talk about the dark things. We are going through a reconstruction period that has many ups and downs and those who have faith know that we will come through alright. More should preach and talk the bright side and less pessimistically. Keep on smiling and working. Your attention Is called to the splendid report we are securing from the republican convention to be held ihis week in Chicago. We have ar■anged for reports from various sources and the news will be given o the public here as soon as receivd, which will be almost as soon as ou eculd get it if you were in the •onvent ion hall. Similar arrangcnents to take care of the democratic onvention which opens at San Franisco the 28th, are also being made. The republicans, contesting every nch of the way, are battling in Chi•ago this week where various inter>sts are backing their own candidates ind where it is not a question of who will best serve the people but who vill best serve those particular interests which have furnished millions to Jack the primary campaigns. It is disgraceful and whether you think so >r not. or whether you admit it, the sale of the presidency to the high, bidder is an affair for which some where down the line, the party will iay dearly. The democrats have nothing to ipologize for and much to favor them During the first six years of Mr. Wilson’s administration, more good law’s were put upon the statute books than n a quarter century preceeding. The federal reserve act and farm loan •aw 'dre admitted the most wonderful pieces of legislation and there are many more which have worked to the people's advantage. During the past two years a political congress, opposed to the president have blockd every effort to make it easier for he administration and did this with the openly avowed purpose of playing politics. In Indiana where you have had some experience on central power, with Governor Goodrich at the helm you have certainly become disgusted. The democrats of this state have selected a splendid ticket and adopted a wonderful platform. They will go to the people with the faith that their efforts will succeed and their hopes realized as they will if the people stop to think. The venerable institutional leader of Indiana, Alexander Johnson, nowliving in retirement in Allen county, presented an intensely interesting and valuable study of the remarkable work accomplished in his life time by Oscar McCulloch, the famous minister of Plymouth church, Indianapolis, and father of the democratic gubernatorial nominee, for ths benevolent institution of the state. While long removed from the activities of men. the memory of this rare genius is treasured still by the people of the capital city. The importance of the part he played in the strengthening of the benevolent institutions of In-

TASTE TAKEN -OUT OF CASTER OIL BT NEW PROCESS Remarkable Method Perfected by Laboratory Experts of Spencer Kellogg & Sons, inc. When tlic doctor says "take castor oil" you need no longer shudder. By u new scientific process all the disagreeable features have been removed from this famous old remedy. Chemists of Spencer Kellogg & Sons, inc., one of the world's largest manufacturers of castor oil, have perfected a remarkable process by which the taste is absolutely eliminated. Nothing is removed except the taste. Strength and purity are absolutely unchanged. Kellogg's Tasteless Castor Oil settles the question of the best laxative. No pills or drugs are so prompt and thorough as nature's pure remedy, castor oil. That's why doctors always prescribe it. Now you can get in Kellogg's Tasteless Castor Oil a pttre, full-strength form that is just as easy to take as a good salad oil. Two sizes, 35c and 65c. At all good druggists.—Adv. diana furnishes a sure indication of what the attitude of Dr. McCulloch would be as governor. The miserable neglect of these institutions during the Goodrich administration is a whispered scandal among institutional men all over Indiana, and nothing is more important than the election of a man who will take a genuine interest in the rehabilitation of the old institutional spirit and the material betterment of the institutions themselves. Dr. McCulloch may be < minted upon to be true to his father’s work. —Ft. Wayne Journal-Ga-zette. CHICAGO MARKET CLOSE (United Press Service) Chicago. June 7—-(Special to Daily Democrat) — Corn: July, $1.71%; Sept. $1.57%. Oats: July, 96%c; Sept. 78%c. Convention is Lacking “Pep” (Continued from page one) experts from all the town papers. Don't put this down against the newspaper men, however. They know what's doing all right. The trouble is there isn’t anything doing. Not usual, Jt is not right, for this reason: it indicates an apathy that '•annot be called good for the American people. What this country needs 'oday. to speak in the senatorial phrase, is a good fight. Unless this convention develops one and all the turmoil that is boiling within the people will find no useful outlet. Just what is' responsible for the state of things is hard to say. National Chairman Will Hays recognized the need of a first-class Irish picnic within the ranks of the republican party months ago and has been bending his energies toward promoting one. He did it by working toward a Tee and fair convention. Perhaps the lacks of fighting spirit thus far shown is due to the lack of a tangible target for attack. The old guard has furnished the target, but while the inner loop hotels are filled with delegates ready to fight the old guard at the drop of a hat, they haven’t found any good reason yet to consider that the hat has been dropped. Johnson has talked of fight and so has Moses, but neither of them is absolutely sure with whom he's talking about fighting. It things don't get beter soon it is going to be t*>e most peaceable battle ever fought Meantime, any man who needs or desires a little national advertising has a grand opportunity in this convention city. If he will drop into Chicago with something worth while writing about, he will find the reporters, who outnumber the delegates two to one, ready and eager to dr him a good turn. fchre U f«ll?“i« • _ A I ’trewnwot ®f ITCH, ECZBMA, ~ VSriJl ringworm. tbttkm « /*• [ VJ Mlwr >tohin< ik>« dnMMk Try IAJ /J «» mm box M aur Htfc.

NOTED ENGINEER OUT WITH FACTS Says the Results He Got From Tanlac Were Nothing Less Than W onderful. Captain Andy Oapring, engineer w the Pennsylvania railroad, pullinx UH ‘ first train known as Keystone Evpr< between Terre Haute and St. Ixtuis. declares that the results he has re ceived from Tanlac are nothing less 1 than wonderful. I Captain Ospring has been engineer on the Pennsylvania railroad tor tm i past forty years and is one of the I best known and most popular men it. .the service of this road. His home address is 629 North Tenth street. East St. Louis. Relating his experience with Tanlac to friends in Terre Hau'e, a few days ago. Captain Ospring said: ’Tanlac will always get a good re commendation from me for the result • have received from it are nothin?, I less than wonderful. Before taking :his medicine 1 had suffered from weak stomach, loss of appetite, sluggish liver and a run down condition for several years. 1 could never enjoy anything to eat, suffered with sei . ere pains hi my back and chest, and was continually losing weight Ihe _ pains in my back were so severe tin’ I could hardly bend over, couldu ( / even sit comfortably in my cab. and ■ invariably finished my run feeling all tired out. I had gotten to where I dreaded to make my runs and had lost several trips on account of feel ag bad. "1 had taken lots of different kinds | of medicines, but all failed until 11 found Tanlac. A friend of mine in, Terre Haute put me on to Tanlac and that was the turning point with me. | Three bottles of this medicine have I xed me up in fine shape and my eight has been increased eleven' ounds. I have a fine appetite, don't have a pain of any kind, and feel all I fteen years younger. 1 make my trips regularly,, never losing any j time, and come in from my rut -, ithout feeling all tired out' !ke I used to. A medicine that will: do such things is certainly worth j ■ while and I will always say a good word for Tanlac.” Tanlac is sold in Decatur at Smith | t Yager & Falk's, in Berne at Stengel! ee Craig's and in Geneva at F.
