Have you some friend in a distant state that you'would like to remember with a Christmas present worth the money? Send them The SemiWeekly Republican for a year. Many have done this in past years and are now renewing because they have been told how much* the present was appreciated. It costs no more to send The Semi-Weekly Republican to Maine or California than it does right here at home. It is a fine present, goes 104 times during the year, and makes the entire family happy from Christmas to Christmas. “I want to see the tariff hearing concluded by the end of January,’’ said Representative Underwood, chairman of the ways and means committee, after the committee had decided Wednesday to begin hearings January 6. “The committee will have a chance to work out a rough draft of a bill for the use of the new ways and means committee after the present congress expires March 4th.” One of the many vaudeville features introduced by the Holden Bros. Comedy Co., which will fill an engagement of three nights at the opera house beginning Monday, Dec. 16th, is Vocalion, the “man with the travelling voice,” a novelty act seldom seen with a repertoire organization. All the vaudeville acts are above the average, and in conjunction with the high class plays given, round out an excellent entertainment. Eczema spreads rapidly; itching almost drives you mad.

Xionuceiio Herald. It is announced that Steve Fleming and his crowd already have a plan on foot to extract the teeth of, the Moore remonstrance law. To be sure the democratic state platform declared against the repeal or modification of the present remonstrance laws, but Steve says Iherejs. one thing that has to be fixed, N *ftnd that is allowing the Moore remonstrance law to operate in territory that has been voted “wet” under the Proctor law. And very likely he will get it fixed. He says the Moore law r will not be touched, but the people will have bp, choose one plan or the other for excluding saloons and stick to it. The idea of winning territory for the “wets” under the Proctor law and then losing it under the Moore law, as in Honey Creek township, this county, for instance, is very repugnant to Steve, and he is going to give the democratic legislature a chance to show their hands. If this scheme should succeed it will be seen how easy it is to keep a platform promise in the letter and yet smash it all to pieces in the spirit. It would be possible, as Senator Fleming suggests, to let the Moore law r absolutely alone and yet nullify it by. an amendment tp the Proctor law'. This,; it appears is, the way the Fleming crowd propose to do it, and we shall soon see how the legislature looks upon such a barefaced violation of faith.

Defeated But Not Disgraced.

In the triangular "fight this year a party with a great record was retired. It was not its first defeat, not is it by any means final. The St. Louis Globe-Democrat in a reflective mood offers some facts that are suggestive for the future. It says: “In turning 6Xer the control of the affairs of the country to another party the republicans have the pleasure of reporting everything in solvent shape, with prosperity at high tide in all the states and outlying districts. Another item to which attention is called by an official statement sets forth the fact that the foreign trade of the United States for the year 1912 will pass the four-b.illion line for tha* first time. When the Dingley law was passed in 1897 it was said that the return of a protective policy would cripple our foreign trade and set the world against us to our heavy loss. What really happened was a great and general increasfe. Our foreign trade in 1897, the total of exports and imports, was $1,810,000,000. - It passed $2,000,000,000 in 1899, and will exceed $4,000,000,000 in the present calendar year. “This ad\>ance _j»erfild have been called progressiveness before the word fell into freakish disrepute. It is enough now to refer to it as solid progress. All has occurred under protective tariffs, one of which is still in force, though short ly to be sapped and mined by a minority of voters invested *with complete authority by pluralities in a three-sided fight. A majority of voters supported protective platforms in the recent contest, but this majority must go into the background for the next two years. The republican party does not consider Die year 1912 a barren one for itself. Ip national convention assembled it rejected a third-term movement ior the second time. Jt would rather stand by its principles and be defeated than go into any form of demagogy for the sake of expediency. In two former years it was retired. But how quickly and gladly the people recalled it.”

Indiana Better Roads Convention Held at Indianapolis Favors Adoption of New Laws.

The necessity for more attention to the upkeep and repair of roads w r as emphasized at a session of the Indiana better roads convention at Indianapolis. W. K. Hatt, professor of engineering- at Purdue university, presided, and made many suggestions for improvement in methods of taking care of roads. The plan of the Indiana Good Roads association for the maintenance of county and township roads was explained by Clarence A. Kenyon, president of the association. D. Ward King, of Maitland, Mo., the investor of a road drag, talked on the economical repair and maintenance of roads. C. F. Hunt, of Lafayette, led a general discussion. Charles C. Bjown, editor of the Municipal Engineering Magazine, was to preside in the afternoon. “In your system of working out road tax in Indiana, you are using the same methods in the townships as w<Jfe used in the time of Queen Elizabeth,” said M. O. Eldridge, of the office of public roads at Washington, 'in an address before the convention. Mr. Eldridge said all road taxes should be paid In cash and that wholly satisfactory results can not be obtained under the workout system. Indiana has more second class good gravel roads than any other atate in the union, Mr. Eldridge said, and, the reason they are not first class is that they are not constructed and maintained properly. --- V - In working out the road problem, he said, there should be state aid and the people of the cities should bear their proportionate share of the expense Of keeping up and building roads. Europeans do not build as good roads as we know how to build in the United States, but after we build our superior roads we allow* them to go to ruin through lack of care, he said.

A HAPPY LIFE. The secret of a happy life does not lie in the means and opportunities of indulging our weaknesses, but it lies in knowing how to be content with what is reasonable, that time and strength may remain to us for the cultivation of our hobler nature.

They Are One of the Important Prod. nets of Every State.

Among all the staupjles oar county produces, nothing Is more useful than children. They not only preside over our educational experts with an Inexhaushtlble mine of material to expound theories with, but tthy furnish the motive power for some of our principal factories, and the present low price of coal is due to their efforts. Thus we see that Providence always provides us with the wherewithal to live within our means. Children are cultivated in every state in the union. lip to the age of seven or eight they are scarcely any use at all, except to talk about, but after that they can begin to earn good money. They are also useful in other ways. A young girl of ten or twelve, who is too delicate to work, 7»ay often make herself useful by rushing the growler and waiting on a drunken father. Some time when a young boy or girl are run over by a trolley or auto, they may get enough in damages to keep the wolf from the door. It is a great blessing that children are cultivated in greater numbers by the poor than by the rich. Thus our principal industries are kept supplied with plenty of hands to do the work.

A Natural Assumption.

He was a drummer of the more flashy type and had just finished telling a startling story to his newly made acquaintance in the parlor car. "That reminds me of one of Munchausen’s yarns,” remarked the victim, for want of something better b' say. 1 "Munchausen? Who is he?” “Why, don’t you know him? He is the most colossol example of mendacity that civilization has produced. A brief, painful silence ensued, which was broken by the traveler in a tone that was almost timid. "Excuse me, my friend,” he said, "if I seem inquisitive, but would you mind telling me what house he, travels for?”

An Unlucky Horse.

An Englishman was driving on an outside car in Dublin, a few days ago. Noticing the horse looked worn out, he remarked to the jarvey: "Well, Pat, that seems a very poor horse you have.” “Bedad, yer honor,” came the reply, “he’s worse than poor, he’s the unluckiest horse iver was!” "Indeed,” replied the Englishman; "and may I ask why?” "Well, now, Oi’ll tell yer honor. Fot the last four mornlu’s Oi’ve tossed him whether he’d have his breakfast or Ol’d have a drink, and bedad Oi’ve won every time!”

Well Trained.

A number of jockeys and horses were lined up for the start of a Bteeplechase, but a delay occurred because a tall raw-boned beast obstinately refused to yield to the importunities of the starter. The patience of that worthy was nearly exhausted. "Bring up that horse!” he shouted; "bring him up You’ll get into trouble pretty soon if you don’t! The rider of the stupid animal, a youthful Irishman, shoted back, “I can’t help It! This here’s been a cab horse and he won’t start till the door shuts, an’ I ain’t got no door!”

A Dreadful Woman.

“That woman next door is really Sreadful, John,” said a young married woman to her husband. “She does nothing but talk the whole day long. She cannot get any work done, I’m sure.” “Oh,” remarked the husband, “I thought she was a chatterbox. And to whom does she talk?” "Why, my dear, to me, of course,” was the reply. “She talks to me ever the fence!”

AUTO, SAYS JUDGE.

Indianapolis Jurist Warns Girls Against Haphazard Acquaintances With Auto Drivers. Jtldge Orbison, of Indianapolis, has given a warning to girls to be very careful about taking up w;ith men who ask them to go auto riding He indicated in his talk that there are a. lot of lecherous men who use automobiles for the purpost of luring girls into evil ways. No mother should permit her daughter to go automobile riding with ic yaimg man unless she is properly chapdroned and if your daughter is out at night it is your duty to learn where she has been and withhold her from any joyriding if you would preserve her for purity and innocence, was the tenor of the judge’s disburse. He has been called upon several times to listen to stories told in his court where the automobile and its driver have been the direct causes of delinquency. To the average poor girl an auto ride with a “nice” young man is a great temptation. The cause of the remarks by the judge was a case in which a young woman'-related how she had been enticed into an automobile by a traveling man, lured into a “fake” wedding and deceived. She sought to regain possession of her 3-year-old child, which had lived with an Indianapolis couple since it was seven months old. The court decided to leave the child -■ with its foster parents. His remarks were So touching that all those in the court room were in tears before he had finished.
