THE "MONEY DIGGERS”: — Has Cox established his Charge ‘ that the republicans this year have planned to collect, and are collecting, an immense campaign fund? In a court of law legal proceedings would require the production of one or two links in his chain of evidence which he has not yet offered. In the court of public opinion he has made | an exceedingly strong case, which i unless quickly and completely refut cd is bound to have a powerful effect! on Pho electorate. In the first place, the jury of the people which he addresses knows 1 that there is nothing improbable in j his allegation. To the contrary, it I knows that the probabilities are all in its support. The history of our national politics the last thirty years is in its support. During that time the republican party has been the moneyed party. It has held and employed to the full the money power. It has never lacked money in a presidential campaign and it has never lost one which money could control. It has always been able to unlock the < vaults of the rich, of the big trusts and corporations, of the men of “big business” who have thrived on the i subsidies and special privileges which 1 it provides as a policy of party prin- : ciple, and who in accordance with i the canons of good business are wil- ' ling to finance the party'which pro- I fesses and practices such principles, i It is a matter of common and un- i disputed knowledge that millions 1 were collected and expended by the republican campaigners in the days i of the Dudleys and their “blocks-of- t live”; in the days of the Quays and I their “fat fryers” (now called “money 1 diggers” by the hustling “salesmen” i of Will Hays;) in the days of Mark < Hanna, the boss boodler of them all. who handled in one campaign, ac- i cording to the best authorities, UP- : ward of $16,000,000; in the days of “my dear Harriman,” who figured so slickly in the campaign financial op-

LABOR DAY SPECIAL William Farnum, in “Wings of the Morning” Asserts New Discovery Brings Blessed Relief to Hay Fever Sufferers Can Make it Yourself at Home at Trifling Expense In spite of all the doubters and. scoffers, a man In Kentucky, who changed his annoying and distressing Hay Fever Into less than a mini cold, claims most emphatically that if taken in time Hay Fever or Rose Fever can be conquered or at least made so harmless that It la not even bothersome. He gave his discovery, to scores of other sufferers with the most remarkable results and Iw.s recently been prevailed upon to dispense it through Pharmacists to all Hay and Rose Fever sufferers who still have faith that nature has provided an effective remedy for this common, yet miserable disease. And best of all this yemedy costs almost nothing. Get three-quarter ounce bottle of Mentholtjed Arclne at any drug store, pour the contents, Into a pint bottle and fllli the pint bottle with water that has been boiled. Then gargle as directed and twice dally snuff or spray eaxsb nostril thoroughly. / That’s all there Is toj It; so simple that a lot of people will say that it, can't do the work, but simple, natural remedies are the bests, as you will And after Wring.

orations which provoked the protest of Judge Parker, followed by the "Terrible Teddy’s” explosive consign- '. i men! of the judge to the quarantine Jof the "Ananias club,” where he is - supposed to have been confined until r * p | finally vindicated by developments in a court of justice which confirmed his charges. i Coining down to the Immediate 1 1 present, we have the republican party ) J holding its majority in the United , i State; senate by the vote of one man , who Is under court sentence to the 1 penintentiary for improperly spend ' ing millions in one state to obtain i his seat; while the very convention I which nominated Harding nominated i him because it was afraid to nomin i ate stronger men whose managers : had created a national scandal by the money they had employed in the pre-conventlon campaign. It is undeniable that the record of the republican party lends plausibii I ity to any charge that it is providing itself now with a huge money chest. Mr. Cox, therefore, does not startle the country with the unreasonable ness of his charge. And the circum stantiality with which he bolsters it j cannot be flipped aside like the ashes of a cigar, as the accused are affecting a disposition to do. The facts and figures which he presents are either genuine or fabrications. If i they are fabrications the republicar managers have an easy way to de ' stroy the democratic candidate bj proving that they are fabrications. Those facts and figures show an ap portionment among a given number of cities for the collection of about $8,000,000. The Official Bulletin o. the collectors, whose authenticity is admitted, discloses that the collection in some of these cities already are exceeding the apportionments;, while it also discloses that prosper ous collections are being reported at many points not included in the apportionment. The treasurer of the national committee acknowledges that he is looking for some $7,000,000, and its modest chairman 'lows to spend anyhow a mite of $3,000,000. Mr. Cox’s deductions that with the $8,000,000 scheduled in the apportionment of a limited territory the raising of at least $15,000,000 is contemplated, are conservative. There will be no trouble in confuting his charges if they are comfut able. But it cannot be done by Chairman Hays flippantly jibing at the extravagance of a democratic administration in fighting the war, nor can it be done by Treasurer Upham interposing quibbling distinctions be tween an apportionment of cities and an apportionment of states. The American people—those of them who are not thick-and-thin partisans of either party machine—are

not primarily Interested In either Cox or Harding, scoring over the other in this matter. What they are interested in is free and fair elections, untainted by corruption. What they are sick of is the degeneration of politics into contests of moneybags Instead of issues and men. "What is the use,” coolly comments a reputable Louisville business tnan, “of bringing up these citarges when it is well known thut jtollticlans in both parties have the slush fund habit?” What is tli(» use, indeed, 4f there is not, as the Courier-Journal knows there is, a sound, strong sentiment in this country against the rule of politicians with the slush fund habit? —Louisville Courier-Journal.

The assessment for Noble county republicans was $9,000, it is claimed. More proof that Will Hays’ claim of SIOO,OOO for the state was just one of his jokes. Governor Cox says the men whose names headed the Ohio list wtere the same who asked him to call out the militia to handle the laboring men. Think it over voters. Dr. McCulloch is growing in popularity as his record is studied and his speeches heard. He is a high class citizen, who stands for the verybest for his home state and deserves he confidence of the people. He favors a new tax law and better highway statutes. . INSTITUTE CLOSES Five Days’ Session for the Teachers Came to an End Friday Afternoon GREATEST LEADERS In America Were Jefferson, Jackson, Lincoln, Roosevelt and Wilson

The Adams county teachers’ insti-' ute, which lias been in session all' week at the athletic hall, closed Friday afternoon with a splendid musical ! antertainment arranged by Miss Votaw, who has had charge of the music it all the sessions, and pleased the entire crowd present. Dr. Hall spoke m the subject of “Citizens’ Interest I in Political Parties,” and was one of | he best addresses of the institute. In | his opinion it is the duty of every citizen to unite with a political party. | not to have that party dictate what he I shall stand for but to work to have his party stand as an element urging and demanding that which is best for his country. The address Thursday afternoon by Dr. Hall on “Political Parties,” in all probability aroused more discussion and interest than any other of the insitute. The subject itself appeared to be of a nature ftiteresting to every one. The activities of the various political parties were traced to a very recent date, including the working of the Chicago convention last June. In discussing the famous politicians in American history he said that without a doubt the five greatest presidential political leaders were Jefferson, Jackson, Lincoln. Roosevelt and Wilson. He also added that it. is not the stateme t ' as the exact truth that the people cf • today demand from the leading po'iticians and candidates but what is termed “political bunk,” and it is tl si that has made most politicians t -| mous. A noticeable feature of t' ? afternoon was the interest taken 1V the women in the address. As a result of yesterday aftemoo - 'a address Dr. Hall found a groat mn-y questions confronting him this moning and the greater part of the sessi was taken up in considering the mo t important various political lea/1e- a, nandidates, the Monroe doctrine a ■ d I the issue of the coming election. t'io League of Nations, were very th roughly discussed and enjoyed by p’l. The institute hag been in session since Monday mprning had the att.e” ’.- ance which ' increased ! at evr y meeting, has been very gratifying to those in charge. Superintendent Christen is to be congratluated on having secured such able instructors, who have made each day's program instructive and successful in all respects. WANT ADS EARN—|
