Young Teddy Roosevelt don't like the odor of republican affairs in Indiana and did not hesitate to say so. He refuses and wisely to become a part of the intrigues planned and most of the big fellows seem to think about the same way Concluding arrangements for Dairy Day are being maie this week and will be ready for the crowd next Tdes day morning.

Thomas Adams, head of the commi 11 e e investigating mysterious wrongs against Indiana objects to a grand jury investigation He wants the probe to be public and he is right. The citizens ana the taxpayers of this great state have a right to know what has been done and is being done, which of course w’ould be pi evented by a grand jury white-wash behind locked doors. Come out in the >open and lets clean this up once and for all. We are sure we are safe in extend ing a vote of thanks from the people of this county to Graham MacNamee for his splendid work ip broadcasting the World Series. He was wonderful and his report so perfect and so plain that millions of people sat in their homes or in public places visualized the great ball games. Mr. MacNamee is without competition in his field. He has a perfect voice, knows s. orts and his broadcasting of such - » *

events is a boon to the people of the I p nation. T'nder "Governor Jackson the last ■ year the people of Indiana paid tn the tremendous sum of $53,836,192 69 for operation of government in Indi t ana During the four years that Samuel Ralston served as governor the total was $45,764,764.98. Use | your lead pencil and you will readily 2 ascertain that it cost $7,071,427.71 0 more to operate Indiana last year & than during the entire four years 0 under Mr. Ralston Don't be foolish. 11 You are Injuring yourself when you 0 continue a party in power with that record. The St. Louis National league Card inals are the world champions of baseball and the great majority of fans and millions of others whose only Interest in the national sport is at the ( championship series periods are t happy because the flag has gone to » the west after having been on exhibit J so many years in the east. The Cards performed what seemed an impossible feat by winning two gam«s on the 1 Yanks grounds with the series three ‘to two against them The credit is largely due to their wonderful pitching staff. Alexander and Haines, the 1 twirl heroes. Alex who had pitched ' his team to two victories was called in again yesterday when the game was in danger and the final picture of 1 the series shows the great pitcher 1 matched against Babe Ruth, the last man up, with Alexander the victor. ’ | It was one of the greatest series ever 1 played and the title and the larger ‘ share of gold goes to the Cardinals. A great man. Colonel S B Fordyce, ha. l passed to his final reward and we who knew him best in his daily walks among men, today mourn the loss of ' one who thought of others more than himself and who was always willing 1 and anxious to aid them, without 1 thought of any thing but that a human being was so unfortunate as to require help. Few men have served so modestly and so faithfully and with such wijndertul as has this 1 man and so we call him ‘ great’ adI visedly. He lived his life of nearly eighty years, largely in this community, was a valiant soldier of the Civil war, an honorable citizen whose '. word was his bond, who saw the right and bravely lived for it. For many years he has been a member of the charity boards in this county and has devoted much time to the labor because he believed in it and delighted to reader service io his fellow man What more can be said of one who has lived so unselfishly as has Col. Fordyce, whom every one loved and respected? We mourn this loss.

I FRIEND PAYS TRIBUTE TO LIFE OF S. B. FORDYCE (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) ways. He had a constant purpose—"He went nbout doing good.” And how wi»e he was In his heart wan <n idea of service so pure that ft seemed as if his wisdom was that wisdom that sensed what was worthy and cast not unkindly aside that which was unmerited. For decade after decade a member •f the Board of Childrens' Guardians I'.,r years the silent almost unnoticed moving spirit off our town's United Charities. You may not have heard much about it. Perhaps not. but through his loving ministry many, many little boys and girls orphaned and forsaken, found a home and future Through hi« ministrations many a hard and on el winter found those unfortunate within our charitable community rescued from privation and sufferings. The character and method of his service was remarkable. During the Great War. Colonel Fordyce was a very busy man. “He went about doing good.” One cold winter day, temperature below zero, snow knee doep, the Colonel came into the office of a friend to warm. Upon inquiry he stated that he was on bis way to see a father and moth-' er and four little children whom be had learned were destitute. After warming himself a little the frail old gentleman departed trudging through the deep snow upon his errand of mercy. Shortly after his going another citizen came into the office to whom the friend related what bad happened and the evident serious plight of that little family. This other citizen however expressed himself unsympathetically of the unfortunates. Assuming mismanagement, carelessness, improvidence, an unand wholly burden upon the community and so on, and left. Some fifteen or twenty minuter after, the dear old Colonel returned, half frozen. Again it required inquiry of him. He reported the father was sick and the whole 1 family was in bed to keep warm, no fuel and nothing to eat. The friend, without naming him, quoted to the Colonel the other citizen's observations, and added "what about it Colonel?” For some moments the old gentleman eat silent, then in his careful and slow speech said—‘‘Well I never thought of that, maybe <hey haven't been just as careful as they might have been, but anyhow we have got to fix them up and on the way here I ordered some coal and kindlings sent there and I expect I had better be moving on and get something to eat sent.” “Never thought of that"—Of course not. He had only compassion He saw a dire need and he went calmly sb<”jt see ing <hat n°ed met No though of self Was be cold? Yes. Risthjr feeble? Na matter. a duty to be per formed. Perhaps the Master looked on and smiled. Such was the character of the service of the grand old man Patriot,' good citizen, loving husband and father, good Christian. His example surely shall be an Inspiration and a guide. o

They do that which dangerous calomel does without any of the bad after effects. Olive Tablets bring no griping, pain or any disagreeable i fleets. Dr.’ F. M.
