New York City has 15„000 more i prisoners in penal institutions this year than last, according to state re- i ports nnd the most of this is due to i bootlegging and their products.

A couple of years ago the people were demanding the recall of Sena tor Reed of Missouri because of his uu-American attitude and one of the few’ to defend him was Colonel Harvey. The other night in Chicago. Reed made a red-hot speech in which, he attacked Harvey for his un-Amer-icanism and £is too friendly attitude to England. It beats all how we meet ourselves coming back in this circle of existence. That there is interest, real and genuine, in the tax question in this county was again manifest today by the attendance at the public meeting. Our people want to pay their share of the necessary upkeep government, but that does not mean that they will agree to any plan which makes their taxes so high that they must mortgage their property to meet the semi-annual tax assessment It's a big problem any time, but under the present law seems considerably more tangled than ever. — ■■ .1 _ The county basketball tournament opened this afternoon in Berne and the series of games will be interest- , ing.

I it is probable that lb* wleatag team will be one of the county teams. Whichever it la, the good sports of , the county will back and boost for the sectional contest at Purdue a week or so later. Adams county has a number of excellent teams and wo are proud of them. There seems to boa disposition by a number of the leading newspaper men of the state to organize a press association, independent of politics, and a meeting will be held soon to perfect such an organization, the preliminary steps having been taken by the republican and democratic organizations in recent meetings. This will perhaps not interfere in any way with the present organizations which are largely conducted by the political committees but the new Daily Press association will be purely and simply a shop organization. Publishing a newspaper is a bnetness, and those engaged in it are finding that fact out more and more each day, week, month and year, and the new Daily Press may be a strong business factor in a few years. The country has passed through a period of deflation, and has, as is believed, almost reached the end. The new adjustment is going forward, in a reasonably satisfactory way. Even the farmers, as was shown yesterday, , are beginning to see the light, and to 1 take a more cheerful view. Congres: can. it it chooses, legislate in such a : way as to cheek the very healthy ,

movement back to stable conditions to start inflation over again, and so make necessary a repetition of the painful process of deflation —which must be gone through with some time. All this would mean greatly ' i higher prices—at a time when wages are falling—higher taxes, and a gen eral unsettlement. At the very time congress is called on to show the greatest prudence and wisdom it seems chiefly concerned to discover what course will win the most votes, and to guide its steps accordingly.— 11 Indianapolis News. Announcement that ex-United States Senator Albert J. Beveridge of Indiana will oppose the renomina■m lion of Senator Harry S. New bears , important relationship to a condition which exists in the country’s political affairs. It is evident that Mr. Beveridge has been accorded some pledges of support, else would not have permitted himself to go before his fellow Indianians as a candidate The administration is backing Senator New for renomination. This in itself is significant. Beveridge, it will be recalled, was identified with the movement which was originated by the late Theodore Roosevelt and which came to be known in time as the Bull Moose” movement. In this revolt against the reactionaries of

1 hRP ■ ■ :■ 1 s j| ' k JOSEPH DRAKE "When 1 say that 1 weight twentyfive pounds more than I did a short time ago it speaks volumes for the merit of Tanlac,” said Jos. D. Drake, 130 Belmont Ave., Springfield, Mass. “The first thing Tanlac did for me was to give me an appetite and tone up my stomach. It wasn't long before I was eating things I hadn't dared touch for years and anyone to see the hearty ways I eat now would find it hard to believe that a few weeks age I was dyspeptic and living on the lightest kind of diet. "Another good thing Tanlac did for mo was to drive the rheumatism almost entirety out of my system. In fact. I can truthfully say it has made me feel like a new man in every way It certainly is a grand medicine." For sale by Holthouse Drug company nnd druggists everywhere.

their party, both Roosevelt and Beveridge minced no words in their description of their .antagonists. Roosevelt died while the battle was still in progress. The Old Guard, with this vigorous fighter out of the way, proceeded to have things all to themselves, as the Chicago national convention clearly indicated. Beveridge survives. And that element of the party which still believes that the process of purging out to be carried on, is rallying about his standard in Indiana. And what is true in the Hoosier state eqqually is true in many other states. It is, in a sense, a revolt against present conditions which obtain in administrative circles in Washington. It may spell the doom of the reactionary leaders. At any odds it will be closely watched all over the country as a sign of impending controversy over party control.—Dayton News. e. .
