Sample ballots for the special elec- J tip* to be bold next Tuesday; tag M seen in the windows at this office, i Make up your mind how you will vote. It's important. The way to reduce taxes is to let up a little on expenditures. It is impossible to do other than pay the bills as they become due and the efforts to reduce taxes must start long before the time to make the levy. It's just a matter of plain business, and a good time to be careful.

Whatever your opinion as to the) merits or demerits of the amendments. it is your duty to vote next Tuesday, Express your opinion one way or the other and it should be your opinion, made up of course from all information you can secure. The leaders of the republican party are now promising relief from federal taxes by Thanksgiving. We could have had it a year ago if they could agree and there are many things yet to be smoothed out before we get it. so don't be too hopeful. Unless the miners in the West Virginia coal fields lay down their arms and return to their homes by tomorrow, martial law will be declared and federal troops sent in, according to an order issued late yesterday by President Harding. Trouble seems to loom near. ——. The business men and shippers of ' this community met and became acquainted with and enjoyed the visit of the officials of the Clover last evening. The Industrial rooms are yours and should be the most popular place in the city. Meet there occasionally and discuss the thjngs that will help the community. Hon. Edgar D. Bush, former lieutenant governor of the state and a man well versed in the needs of Hoosierdom, will address the voters of this community at the court room at eight o'clock this evening. It is a non-partisan meeting on a non-parti-

Jsan quoetioß and every citiren should j attend who can. The election committee of the United States senate has recommended that -Swaatuv LaFmiettO be t given a special allowance of 35.000 to cover his coats in defending himself in the contest to oust him from the senate in 1317. They don't care how they spend your money, do they? Josephus Daniels says tue republican plau of bringing prosperity through percolation will never work. You put the taxes in the coffee pot and let it stand. The owner of the pot gets all the best of the coffee but tells his employes that in time if he can wait, it will percolate down to him and make him prosperous. At best percolating is a slow business. Under the existing section of the constitution as regards taxation we at least have some protection but under that proposed by amendment number ten we will have none. Surely you will not thus turn your affairs and your future over to unelected legislatures. If you do you ought never* to complain whatever happens. It’s square up to you right now. Vote next Tuesday. - * Secretary Hughes is busy now explaining that he did not mean the language of the German treaty just the way it has been interpreted and that he had no intention of fixing it so the United States could enter the league without the consent of the senate. Nevertheless he seems to have done so according to the opinion of many and the old war horse is either too smooth for the boys in the senate or else the matter was done hurriedly, neither of which guesses effects the instrument. Let the fight go on but in the meantime the people suffer. On September 2>Jth an election will be held in the state of New Mexico for the selecting of a United States senator to succeed Mr. Falls who has been promoted to the job of secretary of the interior. Much interest lis being manifested as it is looked 1 upon as a barometer of next year's election. The democrats have a good candidate but are poorly organized while the republican candidate is Senator Bursum who was appointl ed to succeed Falls and whose selec- ' tion almost split his party. National I are pulling the strings i and the election will be watched I closely by the men who play the game everywhere. It is admitted that the vote next Tuesday will be light and yet we are voting on the most important ques- ' tions possible—to change the constiI tution by the adding or rejecting of I thirteen proposed amendments. The constitution should never be changed except by a full representation of the people. If but a halt a vote is cast the people are but half repre--1 sented in this election, all the more ' reason why the entire bunch should be defeated rather than take any t chances on those which are bad. i You will be holding special elections I every other year before long, at a big cost and to vote on foolish things, if iwe adopt this idea as a precedent, i We believe the people will be better I off in the long run, if the entire set i of amendments is overwhelmingly de- (! seated.

No information could be obtained on how the vote of the firemen, cooductors and engineers is going. Utmost secrecy is surrounding the taking of the ballot in these three organizations however, members of the engineers, conductors; and firemen's brotherhoods are known to I. bip more contented with present wage conditions than other railroad unions.

Muncie, Ind., Aug. 31—(Special to Daily Democrat)—Several persons in the city, some of them said to be prominent in business and banking circles, are said to have been victimized recently for considerable amounts of money by persons representing that they were raising money to get a settlement on the sale of the Sir Francis Drake estate in England worth 3500,000,000. Persons putting up money from 325 to 3100 to pay the court costs for the settlment, it is alleged, were told that they would realize several thou-

sand dollars on their investment. The game is an old one but seemed ' to work here with good results for those behind it.

SNOW GAVE IIP HOPE OF EVER BEING WELL Indianapolis Man Never Expected to Recover Health —ls Now Happy as a Boy ••I'm willing to do my part to let people know about Tanlac because there's no doubt about its being a wonderful medicine." said Andrew D. Snow. 530 South Third St., Indianapolis, Indiana. "For the past five years, that is until I got Tanlac, I suffered terribly from stomach trouble and other complications. Everything I ate disagreed with me and finally my nerves gave way and I couldn't sleep at night to do any good. To make matters worse, rheumatism got me in its clutches and I almost lost use of my hands and arms. I got to where 1 couldn't work to do any good and was so discouraged 1 never expected to be a well man again. ‘Tanlac benefitted me in every way. I tat anything I want now and sleep, why, 1 sleep all night long without a break and wake up in the morning feeling as active and happy as a boy. I've got more life and energy than I’ve had for years and just feel fine all the time. Tanlac certainly did the work for me.” .Tanlac is sold in Decatur by Smith, Yager & Falk and by leading druggists everywhere. Health the Keynote to Beauty. Beauty means so much to women—i power, social triumph, admiration and ■ love. Beauty implies good health.

Who ever saw a woman racked with pain, struggling with weakness or [disease, who could be called beautiful? The woman of today in this high-strung, nervous age is continually overdoing, with the result that ills peculiar to her sex develop which, unchecked, will ruin all chances for her happiness. The natural restorative for such ailments is Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable Compound, which for more than forty years has been recognized as a standard remedy for women's ills, and has done much tw relieve the pain and restore good health to women. % CONFETTI DANCE Given by the Fort Wayne Culture Club x to be given at the K. of C.
