BENTON COUNTY GRANTS FRANCHISE

'/J . O. L. Brown and Bis Lafayette and Northwestern Secure Building Right For Railroad. • ——— Fowler, Ind., Sept. B.—The Renton county commissioners yesterday granted a franchise to the Lafayette and Northwestern railroad to pass through Pine and Gilboa townships to the east of Fowler by several miles. Whether or not a branch road will be run to Fowler remains to be seen. Attorney O. L. Brown, of Remington, engineered the franchise through before the commissioners, yielding to a few amendments to his original plans. It is stated in the contract that the road is to be beghn not later than November 1, and is to be completed not later than January 1, 1916. The company, Mr. Brown stated, is capitalized at $1,500,000 and of this $500,000 is to be preferred stock and is to be sold along the right of way. The remainder of the capital is to be swung by Chicago capitalists. The franchise gives the company power to sell current for power, light and heat. The contract ..further stipulates that at least four cars will be run in either direction within the twenty-four hours of each day. Permission is granted the company also to operate a steam road and to make connections with steam roads when crossing same. Highways are pot to be used for the roadway, except at crossing®. The franchise will come up for final hearing before the board on 'October 5.

A Progressive’s View That Expresses Belief of Many.

I am one of the many thousands who worked and voted as a progressive, not for the purpose of wrecking the republican party, but in the hope that we might eliminate the evils 1 that had fastened themselves to the organization like barnacles to ">a ship and bring about the rejuvenation of the grand old party that stands for human freedom, social justice, American labor, and prosperity for all the people. As a result of the progressive movement the country has suffered commercial and industrial depression. The progressive vote made possible a democratic administration and a low tariff law. The progressive movement has cost this country a vast sum. But it was worth the price. It has given us a republican party that gets its inspiration from the people; one that has the necessary energy to inject sound Americanism into our government policies and the strength of purpose to make this a government for, of and by the peO' pie. < A lam a protectionist. This is why I turn to jßl.republican party. I know that itt'ptinciples are right. I believe that its heart is right. It is the samftold Party, magnificent in its etattoX but there has come to It, by reason of Its ordeal, a new Spirit and progressives are rallying to its support because they know it is the party that restore to the people those Messings that belong to them. * I believe that, we former progressives who are coining back are bringing into the republican party an enthusiasm and a patriotic purpose that will give renewed life to the republican party and make possible the restoration of prosperity and the rehabilitation of sound American principles.—Mayor Thos. Bauer, of Lafayette, in the South Bend Tribune. - -

ASK PRESIDENT TO AID RAILROADS

Representatives of All Large Roads in Country Lay Appeal Before Wilson For Assistance. Washington, Sept. 9.—President Wilson began consideration tonight of an appeal laid before him today by a committee of railroad executives representing every large road in the country. He was asked to aid the railroads in tiding over financial .difficulties arising from the war in Europe. No specific plan was presented. The nailroad men were hopeful after the conference that Mr. Wilson through a public letter or otherwise might show that he believed the railroads should be relieved of some burdens. They also believed they had laid the groundwork for consideration of specific requests to he made later. These requests were understood to include a postponement of consideration of the railroad securities bill now pending in congress, legislation allowing the interstate commerce commission to take general conditions into consideration in passing on petition® for rate increases and the reopening of the recently decided advance freight rate cases. At the white house tonight it was said the president would give careful consideration to the problem. He indicated his sympathy with the appeal of the railroads but made no promises. Out snappy line of Florsheim shoes for men and young men are sure to please. The Piocodilly English Bal and Blucher are up to the minute styles. G. E. MURRAY .CO.

ALL IN READINESS FOR THE CHAUTAUQUA

Program Starts Saturday-Splendid Talent of Lecturers and Entertainers Every Day. The Lincoln Chautauqua starts in Rensselaer Saturday. The big tent is here and will be erected Friday in Milroy park, where the meeting will be held. This ideal location furnishes many advantages as there are streets on all sides, along which automobiles may.be parked. It is only a block from the bridges and the slope of the ground will prove advantageous in positioning the seats so that all can see the platform. In addition to the printed programs and as an extra number, will be the morning sessions at which Mrs. Margaret Hill McCarter will conduct a work that none should miss. Mrs. McCarter’s part should prove one of the splendid features of the program. /The program for Saturday afternoon and evening includes a concert by the university players and lectures by Thomas McClary. His morning subject is "The Heart of the Nation," and the evening sub-' ject/'The Mission of Mirth.” Sunday there will be a concert by the Bunnell-Weller Co., and an entertainment by the world’s greatest imitator, Tom Oorwine, of Kentucky. In the evening occurs the address of Gov. Malcolm R. Patter-, son, of Tennessee, the official who “faced about" on the liquor question. This lecture should be heard by every person. Monday the Price Concert Co. performs afternoon and evening and William Lloyd Davis, the platform leader, will lecture morning and evening and in the evening Dr. Brajnerd will deliver his stereopticon lecture about the Panama-Pa-cific exposition. Mrs. McCarter will speak each morning at 10:30 o’clock. Farmers and all interested in agriculture should be sure to hear Joe Wing, the famous alfalfa expert, who is to lecture Tuesday morning, Sept. 15th, at 10:30 o’clock. The hour of Mrs. McCarter’s discussion will be announced later for that day. Mr. Wing Is one of the most noted writers on agriculture sub all farmers are familiar with his valuable work. They should not fail to hear hhn Tuesday. This lecture Is independent of the Chautauqua and a charge of 25 cents is made. Winfred Pullin secured Mr. Wing for this lecture and the farmers should see to it that the tent is packed. The program for succeeding days will be published in a later issue. Every person should make plans to attend every session, thus receiving the full value of this edueatton al program. The suggestion of a farmer’s wife that town people invite country friends to remain for the evening sessions is a good one. They will not expect and will not * —■■■—=
