THE DEMOCRAT ■ VgaYTHCKSSATMOKSIXe BY LEW G. ELLINGMAM. Publisher. WACPBK YBAR IN ADVANCE. Ket«-wl st the Dec*, tor. Indiana «a •j-noa'l-c »<•* mail rU'zr <r 1 «, OFFICIAL PAPER OF ADAMS CO. — • ■ A HALT IN THE CAMPAIGN Under this title the Washington Pc-st begins an editorial thus: The Republican campaign does not show signs of victorious progress. There is a plain halt all along the line. For two months there has been a continual display of factional strife and consequent disintegration. This coincides completely with the report of our Chicago correspondent. This report says that from the fighting ground in all states the cry is coming up to Republican headquarters that “General Apathy” is in command and will not vacate; and it is becoming a perplexing question where to get “ginger” for campaign use and how to use it if it can be got. Gloomy comparisons with the Parker campaign are made, in which, it will be remembered, the funeral calm continued until election day revealed that overwhelming majority the other way. It is conceded that Mr. Taft is not the sort of man to rouse enthusiasm and besides, there is the general embarrassment, felt from the beginning as to getting the right men in the right place. A spellbinder on the Roosevelt policies for the west would not do for a noon day meeting in Wall street. And still the clamor comes up that “we have got to have a whoop and hurrah campaign and have it at once.” But wherewithal shall we whoop? That is the question. Chairman Hitchcock, our report says, would welcome wildly any one that will tell him. The Washington Post enumerates some familiar things such as the action of the Kansas Republicans in de- ■ manding bank guaranty, which “unhorses Postmaster General Meyer, defies Mr. Taft and is another Democratic plank adopted by western Republicans." It thinks that this is little short of party mutiny and yet it would not be surprised to see the Republicans of Missouri, lowa, Nebraska and other states line up for the proposition. Even in Pittsburg, it avers, the idea is welcome. Pittsburg ig for protection—strongly. It favors it in industry, and the way in which it has been losing its savings by rascally bank cashiers predisposes It to favor it for bank deposits. —Indianapolis News. THE FARMER AND THE TARIFF The farmer understands that while ho has to buy everything in a protected market, where, on nearly every purchase, he is compelled to pay tribute to the trusts and tariff beneficiaries, he is compelled to sell his products in a free-trade market, where he comes in competition with all the rest of the world. He looks no longer with indifference upon the fact that the farmer of Canada, Argentina, Australia and other civilised countries buys agricultural implements of American manufacture cheaper than they are sold to him. In these days American farmers read and think, and are fully advised as to the enormities. —From Mr. Kern’s Notification Speech. It is more than a month since Taft was nominated, and the day after his nomination the big daily papers gave much space to reports of the “instant revival of business.” But there seems to be some hitch. One day we read that a factory has started up, and the next day we see that in another factory wages have been cut. Is the Dingley law maliciously interfering with prosperity? CASTOR IA For Infanta and Children. The Kind You Haw Always Bought Bears the //V « yT" Signature of

MADE i FOR HIRE The admission of Rve. W. E. McCarty. of tins city, that he is on “Uncle” Nate’s pay rd! and that his article in the Muncie Star (and ; copied in other papers at so much ! per line) extoling the virtues of SenI ator Hawkins, was written for pay, j makes ft all plain enough now. It tends »» prove that the Stxlloway “unsclicited■ , letters defamatory to Mr. Adair were probably inspired the same way; it tends to prove that the “expert” investigation and the finding of one J. Earl Patterson was conceived in iniquity and made for hire. In fact Rev. McCarty’s confession has put a new fact on “Uncle” Nate's candidacy. But it is only a link in the chain tending to prove that his campaign of mud-slinging and vituperation is being done by paid agents—a campaign of hire — and this belief is further borne out by the fact that Senator Hawkins has never came out on the stump and discussed the issues; he has never tcld an audience where he stands, or what his policies would be if he was to be elected to congress. He is conducting a back-door campaign—the kind always put up by a political trickster. —Portland Sun . i Hearst and Hisgen are not creating any very far reaching excitement by their grandstand exhibit in Indiana. - - The republicans in this county have nominated a county assessor and Uncle George Gentis who still has two years to serve, is wondering what's to become of him. ‘ls the world growing better?" was the subject of a sermon last Sunday. Os course it is. The world is always growing better. Why waste time debating that subject? What’s this? A special session of the legislature to make more appropriations? If it's absolutely necessary and Governor Hanly knows it why consult every two by four politician in the state? Mr. Taft caught three bass the other day and suddenly this has become a most wonderful incident. Walter Wellman says fishing is much more popular than golf among the common people. Governor Hanly has a contingent fund of thirty thousand dollars, yet he wants more money to do battle with the night riders. How much more, deponeth sayeth not. I! i jhiiii.iijiji.jj. j. A special session of the legislature will cost the state the sum of two thousand dollars a day, and thirty dayg means sixty thousand dollars. Governor Hanly means to get fame for the governor, no matter the cost. The money for the~expenses of the Democratic campaign will be furnished by popular subscription. Every one is invited to participate, and thereby help in electing a representative of the people as chief executive of this mighty nation. The Democrat will forward to the proper place all such funds intrusted to its care. Mr. Taft opposes the guaranteeing of the bank deposits of the individual and the Republican candidate for governor of Kansas favors it. A joint discussion between them on the question would add to the gayety of the campaign. In the democratic congressional campaign book just issued, the address made in the house by Congressman J. A. M. Adair of this city. On the wood pulp bill occupies a conspicuous place and is a splendid argument against the high protective tariff that fosters and breeds the trusts.—Portland Sun. Congressman Adair looks |ike u sure winner in this campaign. His record in the last congress, big sincerity and honesty, his dignity and his utter disregard of petty politics, are adding much to his success at this time. Congressman Adair has been faithful and the voters in the eighth district trust him implicity.

We guarantee the enactment of a law guaranteeing to depositors the immediate payment of their deposits in any such bank or trust company, the funds necessary for such purposes to be provided solely by a tax to be imposed upon such banks and trust companies, and we further demand that in administering banking laws in Indiana none but competet and qualified examiners and officials be selected. —Democratic Platform. The campaign in Atoms c»unty opens next "Wednesday evening. September 16. From that time on speaking and a discussion of the issues will be carried on in a dignified manner, which added to the plans and work of organization, will make things lively. Not a voter need be ignorant of the true nature of the issues, and not many of them will be. Bryan is certainly right In asking that the bank depositor be protected' and the republican argument that such a course would breed unsafe banking, sounds like their former argument in favor of protecting the "infant industries.” When the government deposits money in a bank they require such a guarantee. The same is true of the state, the county, the township and the city. Then why not the depositor? This is a hard nut for Mr. Taft to crack. Governor Hanly has unquestionably added to the gaiety of the campaign, by calling a special legislative session. Had he confined his proclamation to the financial emergency which exists there would be some method to his madness. When he includes other pet reforms he opens the floodgates for trouble. The regular legislature will convene the first of the coming year, just four months hence, and so far as heard from, not even the emergency plea would have suffered. Tbe cost of the special session will be two thousand dollars a day, an item of expense in itself.

While Governor Hughes and Senator Beveridge were opening the campaign at Youngstown Ohio, Sattiday, and denouncing tbe guaranty plank in the democratic platform, a federal b?nk examiner was closing the doo“S of the Cosmopolitan National bank of Pittsburg, and the Mount Washington Savings and Trust company wag closed by the Pennsylvania commissioner of barking. No doubt the depositors in these insiitn tions would be very thankful if Bryan’s guaranty proposition were the law in Pennsylvania, and It i s not aj all likely that the criticisms of Hughes and Beveridge of the guaranty plank afforded them much comfort. —Columbia City Pest. And Walter Wellman says: Information from Indiana which acmes through Republican channels is that at the present time the state is or an even balance between the two parties? A letter received in Washington today from a Republican leader said: “No man can say today whether Indiana is for Taft or Bryan. We are having trouble with the labor vote, both as to Taft and as to Watson. We are sure to lose something among this class of voters, and khe local prohibition question hurts us, too. As to the labor vote the most encouraging sign we have is that the situation is not quite as bad as it was, and if the improvement continues we shall save the state in November." Voters are cautioned about moving out of their townships after September 3, or cut of the precincts after Octorber 3. That i 8 the limit allowed by law far changes and any person moving after those dates will be as much use on election day as a bump on a log. Many organizations are waging war against the use of moving vans after September 3, ana tbe reason is not any antagonism against the van men, but a desire not to lose any voters. That is one branch of their business the draymen of the city may expect to be rather slack until after the votes are cast. Tbe regular sixty day polls to determine the qualified voters are being taken this week and from this the poll book will be made up, together with such erasures as removals after that time and up to

the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November make necessary. In his Topeka speech Mr. Bryan asked some questions anent the republican opposition to the guaranteeing of bank deposits which appeal forcefully to the people of the northern Indiana counties, whose savings were wiped out by the failure of the banks at Auburn, Waterloo. Lagrange. Avilla and Laporte. Mr. Bryan said: Why not make tbe depositor secure' The United States government requires the deposit of specific security when it entrusts money to a national bank, although it can examine tbe bank at any time; the state requires security when it deposits money in a bank; the county requires security and the city requires security; even the banks require security from the officials who handle money Why should the depositor be left to take his chances? Not only is the depositor without protection, but the security given to nation, state, county and city lessens his security. They are preferred creditors: they have a mortgage on the gilt-edged assets and the depositor must get along as best he ean with what remains. Why are the interests of depositors thus neglected? —Fort Wayne Journal-Gazet’e.

SPECIAL SESSION D Republican Leaders Ratify the Calling of a Special Session MANY CONFER The Leaders Being Lined Up for County Local g • Option Republicans from all parts of Indiana Monday night ratified, by speeches and applause, the plan of party managers to push through with all possible dispatch a county local option bill at the coming special session of the General Assembly. Unanimity existed that the temperance legislation urged by Governor Hanly should be enacted; that the specific appropriations about to revert to the general fund should be reappropriatej, and that action looking to the protection of the people of southern Indiana against the Night Riders should be taken, and that all this should be done expeditiously and with harmony. The meeting, which was marked by enthusiasm and gcod feeling, followed a number of day conferences at which the way was paved for united action and harmonious thought. At these conferences the plan of Winfield T. Durbin, former governor, to ignore the temperance question at the special session, was rejected. Colonel Durbin attended the night meeting and made a short speech in harmony with the others. Pressure brought to bear during the late afternoon and early evening had caused him' to change his attitude. The only speaker who did not fully concur in the opinion of the leaders was Jefferson Claypool. He thought the temperance matfer could well Igo over until after the election. The seventy-five or eighty participants in the meeting were drawn from every district of the stale. Candidates on the state ticket were there to a man. Practically all the members of the state and executive committees were present, and in addition to these there were well known party workers from many counties. James P. Goodrich, state chairman, presided. o ■ BUSINESS COLLEGE.

Everybody knows, or ought to know, that Hyomei Is recognized among scientists as the specific for Catarrh, Asthma, Bronchitis and Hay Fever, but there are a great many people who do not know that Hyomei will cure a cough or a cold in less than 24 hours. But every one should know that the soothing, balmy and antiseptic air of Hyomei when breathed over the raw and inflammed membrane of the nose and throat will instantly allay the inflammation, and will effect a prompt cure. Complete Hyomei outfit, including inhaler, costs only SI.OO at Holthouse Drug Co. Extra bottles. If afterward needed, will cost but 50 cents Joseph M. Harbaugh, Heldredge, Neb., writes: “I have used your Hyoraei in my family for two years or more, and find it one of th best remedies we ever used for a cold or sore throat. We find that it gives quick relief in cases of catarrh.” o OLD TALE RETOLD A Mrs. Hamilton Tells of a Short and Unhappy Married Life AND SEEKS DIVORCE Discovered That Her Husband Was a Drunkard Two Weeks Too Late Another story of an unhappy married life was told in a complaint filed by Attorneys Peterson & Moran, the cause being entitled Carrie C. Hamilton vs. Milton A. Haniilton. This couple were married March 2, 1907. Two weeks later, Carrie discovered that she had plighted her vows with an habitual drunkard, who took occasion to beat and strike her when she got in his way way. cursed her upon the slightest provocation and otherwise abused her. He accused her falsely of infidelity, sold the household furniture to supply his avaricious appetite for liquor, squandered SIOO that she saved, failed to provide for her in any way, g o runs the old, old story. Finally on February 24, 1908, Milton disappeared, within just a week of his first wedding anniversary and his wife has since heard no word from him. She asks for a plain and ordinary decree of divorce. Mirs. ! Hamilton lives in this township.

Among the fashion notes in a society journal it was stated not long ago that a firm of dressmakers or drapers in New York have on their bcoks the names of forty ladies whose accounts for dress materials exceed SIO,OOO per year. Their bills are presented semi-annually and paid by their happy husbands without a This account leaves out such things as jewelry and laces, which may be considered a kind of permanent investment, but is confined to perishable articles, silks, satins, embroideries and such things a s women ordinarily class as dress. Now. while it is not worth the trouble to assert that a man with an income of SIOO,OOO annually has no right to still it can be readily seen tbe matter involves something far more important than the mere legal right of a men doing with his income as he wishes. Dress is simply and rightfully to increase woman's attractiveness, and the time must arrive when this attractiveness cannot be increased by an incessant variation of costumes. This latter simply means a life of making, putting on and off clothes and becoming a wearisome lay figure. Tbe idea of a perfect dress must come some time, and to go be yond it or back of it must lessen good looks. Yet any one spending $lO,000 in frocks must run his chance. J. B.
