Often these children are girls just at the entrance of womanhood, more often hoys of twelve to fifteen years. An expert has expressed the opinion that if the police had power to keep children off the streets after dark it would diminish vice and

crime by one half.

The St. Louis (Hobv Democrat sounds a note of warning that should he heeded, in saying: “The republicans should beware of over- | k’ 'confidence this year. It is true everything is in their favor, but that is no excuse for relaxing their vigilance, or taking any risk that can be reasonably avoided.*’ This gooti and timely advice is commended to the earnest consideration of every republican in Greencastle. It is a mistaken idea for any one to believe that success can

be achieved without effort.

Anti Cooi’EH delegates are bobbing serenely to the surface all over the district. Gentle George may be beaten in the first round.

S<>.\tF FXCELLFXr SUGGFSTIOSS The following from the InteOcean voices in its closing paia graph some ideas along the line of what the Banner Times had to say several weeks ago: FREE TRADE! FREE TRADE ! ! In another portion of this paper we print a communication from Mr. J. A. Watrous. editor of the Milwaukee Telegra/th, to which we invite the attention of our readers. He quotes what Tom Johnson said about free trade ai the late Iroquois banquet, to compliment him and to show the result of every attempt to practically apply his theories to American affairs. Free trade on the tongue of a good phrasemaker sounds sweetly and is an enticing theory, but confront it with the conditions of a great, growing, new world, rich in everything that the rest of the world wants, in everything that is absolutely necessary to its own inhabitants, and it becomes an ignominous and ugly wreck, scattering disaster, want, and suffering all about it. This has been the result every time its friends have gotten the upper hand in this country and endeavored to make even a partial test of its distinctive capabilities. Its friends, however, never yield. They cling to it through evil and good report. If they were paid by British gold they could not be more tenacious in holding to these theo ries, which practically are for the enriching of England and the beggaring of America. Mr. Watrous makes an excellent suggestion, and that is for the calling of a convention of all free-trade college presidents and professors. He would have them, when assembled. undertake to point out one ease where the application of their theory to this country has been advantageous. They are the men who are responsible for the advocacy of Iree trade in this country. They have done more in advocacy of this cause of disaster and suffering in this country than all others, and it is time they and the institutions they represent were held to some sort of responsibility. They live off the people and repay them by filling the minds of the young with false and disaster breeding theories.

Taking it all over, up one side down the other, over the middle, through the center, around the edges, individually and collectively, the ticket nominated by the republicans on Saturday is the best, cleanest and most faultless put out in the county for some time. There isn’t a man on it any where that has a vulnerable spot and the enthusiasm with which the ticket is

The treasurer nomination having been passed until the last the name of Henry Hillis was withdrawn, and C. S. Kurtz presented the name of O. A. Shepherd of Floyd township who was nominated by acclamation. Mr. Shepherd was called to the stage, and though a young man, made a splendid impression by his well worded speech. This closed

the nominations.

Mr. S. A. Hays in a short speech offered the following resolution which was adopted : Resolved, that the delegates this day appointed to the state convention are hereby instructed to support W. S. B1 atehley, a former citizen of this county, for the position of state geologist. THE MASS CONVENTION. The immense work of the delegate convention closed at this point and a mass convention was organized for the purpose of ehosing delegates to the forthcoming conventions. An apportionment was necessary for the selection of state delegates as there were hut fifteen of them, and the following township districts were made at the suggestion of T. T. Moore: Jackson and Franklin, “ delegates; Russell and Clinton, 2; Monroe, 1: Floyd and Marion, 1 : Greencastle, 5; Madison, Marion and Warren. 3; Jefferson ami Mill C’reek, 1. This was on a basis of 1 delegate to every 150 votes. The delegates were then named as follows with their town-

4 How to Take Care of the Teeth. One of the most skillful dentists in New York gives these rules for the care of the teeth: “Use a soft brush and wsiter the temperature of the mouth. Brush the teeth up and down in the morn ing. before going to bed and after eating, whether six times a day. Use a good tooth powder twice a week, not oftener, except in ease of sickness, when the acids of a disordered stomach are apt to have an unwholesome effect upon the dentine. Avoid all tooth pastes and dentrifices that foam in the mouth; the lather is a sure sign of soap, and soap injures the gum, without in any way cleansing the teeth. “The very best powder is the precipitated chalk; it is absolutely harmless and will clean the enamel without effecting the gums. Orris root or a little winter green added gives a pleasant flavor, hut in no way improves the chalk. At least a quart of tepid water should be used in rinsing the mouth. A teaspoonful of listerine in half a glass of w ater, used as a wash and gargle after meals, is excellent; it is good for sore or loose gums; it sweetens the mouth, and is a valuable anti septic, destroying promptly all odors emanating from diseased gums and teeth. Coarse, hard brushes and soapy dentrifices cause the gums to recede, leaving the dentine exposed. Use a quill pick if necessary after eating, hut a piece of waxed doss is better. These rules are worth heeding." S|MM'iiiien Chh^h. 8. H. Clifford, New Cassel, H'is., was troubled with Neuralgia and UhiMimatism. his Stomach was disordered, his Liver was affected to an alarming degree, appetite fell away, and he was terribly reduced in flesh and strength.

This closed the business of the day at 3 :30 o'clock and Mr. James Watson, of Rtishville, candidate for secretary of state, was introduced, making a splendid speech which greatly enthused the people. Mr. C. B. Case made a short talk and 51 r. S. A. Hays gave the closing re marks by moving to elect the ticket as nominated. The greatest and grandest convention ever held in the county by any party then closed with three rousing cheers and a tiger. NOTES. It’s a winner. It was u jam all day. Half votes were numerous. There was the best of feeling. Secretary Meltzer sprung a lung. The recorder contest was a beauty. The after-dinner crowd was immense. Harmony with a big “II" was there. The press gang was well taken care of. “ByXed. we’ll all go to Inienopo-

Us.“

“James I*. Mciiays” was nominated, once. They even tried to nominate an assessor ! Editor Martin called the convention j a beauty. Even the weather changed tactics ! ami was with us. Democrats were unanimous in saying j it is a good ticket. “Macy looks like a sheriff” was a remark frequently heard. Major Birch’s speech is good for .'IDO majority in the city race. Marshal Starr kept the large crowd out of the delegates’ enclosure. The hand played “There is a land fairer than day” at the noon hour. Democracy “primed its ears” for a moan of discontent, but it wasn’t thar’. The assessor’s is a four vear office, and as a result no nomination could lie made. v S. A. Hays played in hard luck all day and as a remit has some carefully

prepared oratory on hand which might he bought at a discount. Mr. Watson made a good impre—ion and gained many friends. The Banner Times will shortly print a biography of the members of the ticket. Every delegation was full—an unheard of state of affairs in a republican convention. J. I’. Allee’s seconding speech for Mr. Macy was a beauty, and he told all abcut Bull Run. The deinoctatic editors were furnished special accommodations and were interested spectators. The soldier boys captured just half tiie ticket. They were Hays, Macy, Owen, Hunt and Rent. The votes in the city were evenly split up in the ballots, none of the one district fellows getting the advantage. Reading .Secretary Meltzer liud it in for Clinton township, forgetting them occasionally and one of the delegates grew red in the face in getting recognition.

The Silver l.eafs covered them-ehc-with glory, music and prespiration in tin* zeal and as a result played some excellent music. The boys are improving rapidly and will be able to furnish some good thunder this campaign. The ticket is well scattered over the county. Mr. Hanna is in Monroe; Mr. Hunt, Clovcrdale; M r.
