OFFICIAL ‘PAPER OF APA MS CO. THE GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE No ;person who is fair and just, will read the message of Governor Marshall to me sixty-seventh Indiana General Assembly, and not pronounce It the advice and admonition of » man of rare wisdom, a man wteo thinks deeply and broadly, who Is trying to serve every citizen of the great -state, be he rich or poor, democrat ior republican, wet or dry, farmer or merchant, young or old. His advice is sound, not a single topic of interest at this time is overlootaed or dodged. Squarely and fairly he meets them all. He is not bowing to the powers of pillage or nodding to the l whim of any boss. He is not dictating—simply advising. He has spent two years studying the questions most vital to us all and lx his mes-j sage today he gives the lawmakers off the state the advantage of that study. If they will listen to that advice they will not go far wrong and they will beyond any question receive the “Well-Done” from the folks at home. Sixteen years of extravagant administration in state governmental affairs has increased the taxes and made debts. It is time that we reconstruct, and there is only’ 'me way to do it—retrench. This is the advvice of the governor and it dot«'t require a Rockefeller or Morgan in business to figure out that unless we . do so, somthing is “goin' to bust” before long. The new laws suggested will improve conditions. We have promised them for years, have begged the opposition to give them to us. and now that we have the reins, we should practice as we have preached. “A Welcome Chance to Those Who Suffer” Coming to Decatur, Indiana, On Monday Jan. 16th, to stay at Hotel Murray. Dr. Albert Milton Finch of Indianapolis, Ind. (Consultation and Examination Confidential, Invited and FREE /■ ■ \ \ Jr Frn # /.of# Snapibtt To see all of his regular Patients and such new Cases, as may wish to consult him. Dr. Finch enjoys a state wide reputation, among the profession and the Public of Indiana, where for more than Forty Year. he has devoted his entire time to the Study, Treatment and Cure of Chronic Diseases. The Doctor has bad wonderful success in his chosen work, that of curing chronic sufferers, Men, Women and Children. The Patients he has restored to Health after they had given up all hope of being Cured are numbered by the Thousands. He is a kind, generous, democratic gentleman to meet, of high scholarly attainments, and dignified personality. Coupled with a Fatherly interest, in all who seek his advice. He does not take a Patient for Treatment unless he can foresee a Cure of the Case. The most commendable feature of his work, and one that appeals to the ordinary sick person, is the fact of his charges being so reasonable and moderate as to make it within the reach of even the very poor. At no time do the charges amount to more than $7.00 a month or about $1.50 a week. He gives his own medicines, and there are no extra Charges. It takes him never more than from four to six Months to Cure a Case under Treatment. All Cases, even those who have been given up as Incurable or Hopeless, have been Cured and restored to perfect health by this Brilliant Physician and the wonderful methods he employs. If you want to meet him and have him examine you, go to see him, and talk the matter over with him. It will cost you nothing if he does not put you under treatment. If he takes your case, it will cost you a very small sum to get well. Remember the Date- ’ and come early. < January 16th. 1

We have every confidence In the world that the legislate of 1911 J will be long remembered ua the wiaest of all lime in Weosierdom, most economical, the makers of Uws that are fair, and toonest to nwoi of every Station. The Indlanapstfis News HFeaks as follows of the governor’s aaesage: 'Though the message of Governor Marshall is comparatively short, it; owvers a gio* deal of greund, and con-i tains many (recommend* ions, most of which are Avlse. On Ore liquor qu**l tlon the governor is Jn line with -bis ’ party pWtform and with his -own ' speeches during the campaign. He ad- ' vises the substitution of the city and • township for the county unit, (insists ■ that the remonstsmnee law be left as • it is. and asks Cor additional legisla- ’ tlon for the regulation and control ol > the traffic. The governor would ’ strengthen the present license law, di- ' vasce the saloon worn the brewery,. 1 increase the -license fee Mid the bone ' of the liquor seller, limit the number O s saloons, “Increase the penalties - and provide for a suspension of the license on a second violation and a p complete revocation on the third. We I think there will be a general approval of the suggestion that the legislature repehl the law which permits the organization of ‘literary and educational cldbß’ which exist only to enable their members to get liquor unlawfully. To arepeal the county optlox. law and to make no new provision for the better oruitrol of tire traffic would be ■■ a seriouß mistake.” After taking up each item of 'the message and discureing it, the Slews concludes thus.: ■“As a whole the message is a creditable utterance. The legislature mould hardly *®k far a better chart by which, to steer its course. It is hardly passible that ail the governor’s plans can be carried out. He ia right in preferring a few reforms embodied in wise laws to ‘a large number of crude and undigested statutory enactments.’ The legislature, though it may not be able to do everything, can do much. It can act at least in the spirit of the message and serve the people rather than the interests. Well, they’re off. The legislature ' of 1911 will soon be making history, or at least will soon be making laws, | under which we must live. The red tape of organization has closed and today tne introduction of bills was on . the program. The members are going at their work as though they meant business. The clerks and doorkeepers have been selected and another week will find everything running along smoothly. One member of the house is regretting through the papers that bills were not introduced the first day as it would have shown a more industrious intent. This is not true. There is plenty of time for bills. It is not so much how many as how good the bills are. ( There are a half-dozen important i measures which should be well con- j sidered before they are made into . laws. If only a dozen new laws—the ■ ones the people want—are built fairly 1 and honestly, the record will be bet- * j ter than five hundred that mean noth- t y • ing. It is not likely that the final ‘ j fight on any of the measures will I 1 come up before three weeks, as about : s . that much time is necessary In the b 1 regular routine. ° I 2 L '"' '' = b ’ The merchant who thinks he can n s e . get along without advertising at this d 1 time of the year is badly and sadly 61 1 p . mistaken. He needs it now worse c< ’ than in season. This is the time of ai > year when the live merchant turns p, ! his stock over, converts It into cash Jf : and gets ready for a new and bright spring stock. The public watches D these things while taking advantage of the bargains you offer. If you want to sell your goods, try advertising in the Dally Democrat. - 11 1 of We congratulate the democratic par- ta ty on the excellent beginning that has been made in the choice of speaker. The lower house of the legislature, as it will be organized, will, in our opinion, honestly represent the people. Mr. Veneman has no connections that ar will in any way embarass him. He is free of boss control, free of control by V the interests. We do not believe that Pa

be will be a party to any scheme to betray the people. There is another thing from which the democratic par ty and the people maj derive much encouragement, anfl tXal Is the excellent Character of t>e men who were seriocsly considered for the speakership This meaws that there will be a pound and honest leadership in the be-use, a leadership that will be responsive to 'an enlightened public opinion.—lndianapolis News. Albert A Veneman Os FJvansvilh’. who was chosen as speaker of the houso of representatives, is a man of many good qualities. He won his place easily over a field of good men and was backed hy many of the High class men of southern and central Indiana. His victory is the greatest because he has never served in the legislative balls and had no side-partners on whom to rely for assistance. He has served as City attorney of Evansville and looks like a man able to hold down the very responsible position to which his collMigues in the house have elected him The organization of the house throughout and the senate, as well, shows that the democrats intend to keep their promises. They have selected men especially well qualified and will undoubtedly make a record that can be pointed to with pride. SHERIFF'S BALE. The State of Indiana, Adams County, ss.
