THE DEMOCRAT; BVEKY TIIUKSDAY MORNING BY i LtW G. ELLINGHAM, PUBLISHER 11.00 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE. Watered at thepostcfbeeat Decatur.lndiana as second-class n.all n a tier UHICIAL PAPER OF ADAMS COUNTY teas -■=» THURSDAY, MAY 10, 1906. Twenty-nine states elect a governor and state officers this year, and some real warm political contests are promised. Congressman Cromer arrived *in "Washington Sunday, after an almost continuous live months' absence. It is expected that he wll remain during the balance of the congressional session. President Roosevelt has been doing some more kiting; and is now standing hand in glove with those standpat senators, on the railroad rate bill. While there is much to admire in the president, yet there is much of the “grand stand’* about him. The Indianapolis News calls the reply of John W. Holtzman to A. G. Smith, soft, and it is well named. The charges so "badly made are now modified to rumors and the Republican newspapers are quoted as authority for the rumors. Holtzman will ■ have to take his sore toe and nurse it himself. Whenever there is a prospect for harmony and success in the demo- - cratie party in Indiana some man with a sore toe bobs lip and begins to raise Cain. need for a foolkiller in this state and the democratic state convention should assume the role when it meets next month. —Co- . lumbia City Post. Since the president has joined the I stand-patters in railroad rate regula-1 tion, thus deserting his attorney gen- j eral and friends in the senate, he isl being criticized as never before. His change of front is but similar to his campaign declaration that ‘the corporations were not contributors to the Republican campaign fund. • „ [ The lawyers of the Adams county j bar have decided to endorse Judge; Erwin of the Adams bench for thej democratic nomination for the su-' preme court. The republican lawyers of the ccxnty are joining in ths movement to give their judge a • strong and sincere endorsement. It looks as if the nominatfeh' would go to Adams county—Ft. WaVne‘, Xews. W. H. O’Brien, chairman of the Democratic state committees is neither a boss non.- a pretended boss. Instead he is a quiet, unpretentious, unassuming and lovable man. He sacrifices his time and contributes his money and is of incalculable service to Lis party. The democrats of Indiana‘are proul of him and will hold higii his hands afwS“-stand square to liis’back In this campaign.

Nearly everybody in the National | capital is holding his breath and wondering what Teddy the Terrible is j going to do next. His latest stunts, including his muck rake speech and his atfack on Judge Humphreys, of Chicago, have caused even his best friends and well-wishers to gasp and hold their breath. They don’t know what to expect and don’t know where lightning will strike next. They are paralyzed with astonishment. The Democratic Congressional convention for the twelfth district will be held at Auburn, on Tuesday, June 5. The total number of delegates will be ninety-seven, making forty-nine as being necessary to a choice. Chairman Adair has given no intimation as ' to when the convention, for this district will be held, but not for ,some ■ time yet. The ‘delegate vote is one hundred and eight, necessary to a choice, fifty-five. Dr. Day, one of the greatest preachers in New York, speaks plain English when saying: “There are two forms of anarchy. That form for which William Randolph Hearst stands is harmless in comparison to that whch takes on the form of, our institutions and laws and does unlawful and unjust and- tyrannical things officially. Anarchism clothed with official authority is .covert, deceptive and perilous in the extreme. ’ ’ C .'> / , i John S. Wooley, who has traveled the world over giving lectures on temperance gives out the statement that the “middle class,” the main body of the people, are. drinking less liquor now than evQf before, while drink is increasing among th» idla poor and idle rich. Mr. Wooley says the “middle class” is the backbone lof the people. Were it not for this | class the wheels'of industry would I stop and the whole world thrown into I a panic. In this glorious land of freedom and large incomes the people spend -annually $700,000,090 on jewelry, I $178,890,000 on candy, $80,000,000 on ; millinery, and $10,090,000 on chewing i gum. The eighty million residents ■ of this ocean-bound Repqblie spend a 1 go<A. many millions for food and drink, /or clothing, etc ~but there is no use in particularizing. The figui'csare so stupendous that-not many ■ tyally study their import. And what if they ,di(J ?—HSoiith Bend Times. ■ The new city’ o; nnu-.il are '-taking hold of. the business of the city in a yvay that denotes thajt they mean business-, They mean to clean up the city and inaugurate a system of business expediency- that wijl be good to see hereabouts. The citizens and. tax--1 payers should stand to their backs/ Quit knbek'ng. This has kept former councils from exercising their best i judgment, and from" doing the busi-‘ ! ness of the c.ty in a business way. - ~ • ' '■ ==

Your knocking will avail nothing with !i this council, but you should help, not: 1 hinder. The Auderson News deserves con-L gratulations for the complete punc-1 turing given the John W. Holtzman ' attempt to disrupt democratic op-1 portunity. The editorial was a i truthful portrayal of the deceit of a ; pretended democrat, already honored i far beyond his deserts. His ingrati- i tude was pronounced in those trying days in 1896 and even since. Housecleaning with Holtzman as a housecleaner, would be nothing short of surrendering the organzation to Mr. Holtzman, for him to gratify his personal and selfish motives. The party will not be guilty of permitting such ,a theft. Officials of the Democratic congressional committee say they are going' to make a hard fight this year to carry the Eighth congressional district of Indiana. They have information from private sources which gives them niueh encouragement. *lt is represented to that Crtynerbzfigflkflkfl resented to them by leading Democrats in the district that the CromerStilwell fight has left the Republi-' cans in a badly disrupted and demoralized condition and that if the Democrats ean unite and receive some support from the congressional committee they ought to carry the district., An intimatibn'has gone out that J. A. M. Adair of Borland will be the Democratic candidate for congress against Representative. Cromer. —Louis Ludlow. According to Louis Ludlow, who writes from Washington io the Star League, tne Republican members of ‘fio’figYeks’hiM hvt 'Very , ored with the president and his fanatical turns, which are given the public for their entertainment and for the purpose of placing before the people the greatness of the president. Ludlow says that the members of congress and departmental officials are really sick at the stomach, but are compelled to close their eyes, grit their teeth and stand for the president, who is dictatorial in his demeanor, absurd in his ideas and conceited with his own importance. The president’s attack on Judge 'Humphreys in the ouster proceedings is taken as a white house notice to all federal courts that opinions hereafter must liojt Conflict with the administration’s attitude and desires. Predictions are made that before congress adjourns the hostilities between them and the chief executive will be beyond the repairing stage. ‘ * ’ -. ’ This from the Wall St reef''journal: “However desirable it q- as tb defeat the free silver agitatioii in ,1806, did the end justfy she means employed to accomplish that defeat? It is not too much to say that the money spent in ‘ 1890 to prevent the election of Bryan resulted in political debauchery, such las was never before experienced in the United States and from which the politics and business of this country have not even yet. recovered. It is not far from the truth to say that the country has suffered more by reason of the political corruption of the .1896 campaign than it would have suffered from the triumph of free silver, lamentable as that would have been. Bryan’s triumph of free silver would have given the markets a terrible shock, but Bryan could not have really done much harm in a practical ■way and the - country wmdd —have . made a speedy recovery from the disaster, but it will take many years to recover from the effects' of the political debauchery which has been brought about by the abuse of mil-'; lions of dollars in political campaigns. ” .

in the House not long ago has been the fire .that has smoked them out. i His speech was an object lesson, not only to the people of the entice country. but lots of Republicans on the [floor of the House who were totally ignorant of the facts he produced [with such telling effect. He proved [absolutely and to the entire satisfae- | tion of every man who is unbiased, | that the watch trust of the country [is selling watches to 'the foreigners [cheaper than they are at home to American consumers. ' He produced the facts to the effect that a man in New York City went to London and bought American watches here, brought them back to* this country and sold them cheaper than the trust prices here and then made money on them, because there is no duty on American goods shipped back into this country after being sold abroad. If that doesn’ show up the fact that the present tariff is a palpable robbery of the American consumer for the benefit of the American trusts, and that the tariff is the mother of the trusts, then what does it show?

Dwyer, now of Graysville, Mo., “three of my customers were permanently cured of consumption by Dr. King’s Ngw Discovery, and are well and strong today. One was trying to sfcll his property and move to Aiizoha,' but after using New Discovery a short time he found it unnecessary to do so.

J ' HON. DAVID O. ROBINSON ■ ! Aftcr i All Other Medicines Had Failed. ' a The Hon. David O. Robinson, county treasurer of Frankfort, Ky., writes: “I was very much run down from overwork, and suffered from indigestion and a severe nervous trouble. The medicines pescribed all failed to help me, and I could not take cod liveiViil or emulsion, aa the greasy mixtures upset my stomach. One nf our county officials told me about your delicious cod liver preparation, Vino], and what it had done for him. I decided to try it, end in a remarkably short time I was a welt man. Vinol built me up, cured my stomach and nervous trouble and'l have not been so well for years.” A member of the firm of Smith, YAger & Falk, our local druggists, says: “Vinol cures conditions like this because it positvely contains in a "highly concentrated form all of the vitality-making and body-building porperties of cp<f liver oil actually taken from fresh cods’ livers, and without a drop of oil to upget the stomach and retard its iwork. “We ask every run down, nervous, debiliajed, aged cm weak person in Decatur and every peison suffering from stubborn colds, hanging on coughs, I icnehitis or incipient consumption to try Vlmd on our guarantee to return your monev if it .fails to give satisfaction.” Smith, Yager & Falk, druggists. Senator lew V.

It was expected that he would be renominated, and in fact lie had no opposition for the place, and the announcement of his retirement will' be greafly regretted, by the democrats the county—Ft.
