YES WHCIH? President Rosevelt is more than a millionaire. He was born amidst luxury and has never had to give a thought in the matter of maintainance. His environment has always been that of the very rich. Judge Parker, on the contrary, was born of poor parents. He like all other young men, had to make his own way in the world. He began as a country school teacher and with his savings managed to educate himself and prepare himself for the law. He succeeded in his profession, because of diligent application to his profession, though he, as other young men, encountered many difficulties and made personal sacrifices at the beginning. His environment has always been that of the plain people. President Roosevelt has never known anything except rich and fashionable life, except while rusticating in the far west seeking pleasure and indulging an inclination to hunt and fish. Judge Parker at present lives on a farm, eighty miles north of New York City. His nearest neighbor is a quarter of a mile distant.

His surroundings are that of the plain farmers of Indiana. Which of these two men do you think would most likely be in smypathy with the common people?—Plymouth Independent. The political situation in Indiana is encouraging to democracy, ami if every democrat will now put his shoulder to the wheel and assist in organizing Adams county as it was never organized iiefore. The state poll shows that we have them licked, and the way to make them stay licked is for united individual effort. The Hon. Dan W. Simms, of Lafayette. spoke at Geneva last night, and all those who heard him are up on lheir toes today. It was by fir the best democratic speech of the campaign, and we are free to say that Mr. Simms measures up with the best of thorn wh ’i it comes to talking democracy for democracy's sake. He told the burning truth and it sunk deep. He is of fine voice, an orator that orates and a magnificent man all the way through. Adams county and especially Geneva will welcome him back at any time.

Five democratic meeHngs were held in Adams county last night and every one was a hummer. Every one was largely attended Everyone was enthusiastic and added courage to those seeking to make Adams county's majority the largest in her history. We have the votes and let us go to work to get them all in the ballot box on election day. WAS RELEASED Man Arrested for Hold Dp John Jones Claims to Have Been Robbed Bat Coaid not Identify the Suspect. Mayor Coffee had a rather complicated case t© handle this morning and after hearing the evidence was forced to discharge the man at bar. although evidence pointed strongly to his guilt. Night Policeman Reynolds last night arrested a man by the name of James Sharkey on an affidavit filed by John Jones on a charge of highway robbery. Jones claiming that Sharkey relieved him of several hard-earned dollars by forcibly taking it from him. The evidence, however, this morning was of such a nature that the mayor's suspicion was aroused, and he concluded to probe deejier in the case. Jones while on the stand

would not positively swear that i Sharkey was the man. but in giving a description of the money it exactly tallied with the amount found lon Sharkey when he was searched I before putting him in jail. The lack of positive evidence, however, forced the mayor to discharge the prisoner and authorized the officers to make an extrordinary effort in trying to straighten the tangled evidence out. Both Marshal Green and Night Policeman Reynolds are detailed on the case and another arrest may follow soon.
