If You Buy a Farm in Canada You Must Live On It.

The Canadian Pacific railroad is not looking for speculators in Canadian land. It is required that purchasers either live on the land or supply a tenant, This is a irontier necessity. ‘ Land can not purchased for another person by a representative. It is required that the himself see it and select it. • v ’ There may be some people who will take <the word of a dog-in-the manger newspaper or who will be influenced by the knocks df some persons who have an axe to grind, but the great majority of sensible people Will be unwilling to believe that Canada is a desolate waste because a few miserable people have made a complete failure in some • parts. Any man who locates on Canadian Pacific land can expect to encounter hardships, just as the pioneers oT-Jasp er county encountered them, just as the people who emigrated to' Kanshs and Oklahoma met them and just as the brave men and women who are now proving up claims in Montana, many, many miles from railroads, meet them. A few faint-hearted fail, the boozers and loafers and dead beats all fail unless they reform their but the energetic, honest, hopeful class - have succeeded, are succeeding and will continue to succeed on the frontier lands of the Canadian Pacific notwithstanding the wailings of a snarling newspaper. The proposition made by the Canadian Pacific has few parallels as proof of its confidence in the land it sells, for it loans back for improvements and for the stocking of the farms more than ifi required as a payment on the land. It is no place for loafers or for weakhearted people, but thousands of those who locate there now with a small amount of capital will be numbered ’among the successful farmers of Canada in future years, and the only satisfaction that Babcock and his conspirators will have will be that they have injured Theodore George, the local agent, by their • combined misrepresentations of his business. A poor satisfaction,

Welded Tractor Wheel That Would Have Cost Owner SIOO. A mammoth cogged wheel which is a part of a large tractor owned by T. -M.. Callahan was broken in five places, including the loss of one cog. Mr. Callahan investigated the cost of a new wheel, expecting to buy one, and found that it would cost SIOO. He took the parts of the broken wheel to Jim and Harve Hemphill, who welded it by the acetylene process. The job was a big one and they worked about all day Wednesday at it, but it will be just as sound as ever and Mr. Callahan will make a big saving.— Adv.

Raise in Tax Levy Cost Jasper County $10,305.50.

'r' . < Party policies are in the main national policies.. State issues are usually the efforts of the politicians to frame up things that will ’hold the rank and file’of their parties to vote the ticket. If there is more than any other thing that is and should be a constant issue in the state it is business management, ability to conduct the'. affairs of state economically- and to avoid the creation of offices for the purpose of giving jobs to politicians. No party can claim complete freedom from doing this. Unfortunately parties are controlled by schemers who care nothing for the welfare of the people of the state so long as they are able to feather their own nests and reward at public expense those who have made their own affluence possible. We should none of us become so blinded by politics that we can not see when the business of our state is going wrong. Taxation is a matter that affects ns all and we all know that the democratic legislature, not the democratic party, in Indiana, created offices and increased salaries until ah increase 'in the state tax levy was necessary to meet the expenses. Persons who heard Thos. Marshall’s campaign speech will recall that •he made economy and the reduction of taxes an important speech. They will recall that Samuel Ralston did the same thing, and they will realize now that both men failed utterly to fullfill the hope which they expressed that careful democratic management would accomplish reduced taxes. It is too bad. It would have been a great thing for Indiana and for all of its people if Thos. Marshall and Samuel Ralston and their counselors and advisers could have made good, but they did not. They failed arid they came right back to the voters who had believed that they would be able to reduce the taxes and charged them with the failure by increasing the state tax levy 8% cents. Every reader of this newspaper paid a part of the tax. It cost Jasper county $10,305.50, practically a dollar for every man, woman and child in the county. Of course, it is not a per capita levy, but is based upon the property you own and some persons have paid a lot of money because Cover-, nors Marshall and Ralston were unable to make good on the business control of the state.

Voters are much like individuals in the control of their business. When they think they are not getting a square deal one place they go to another. They have not received a square deal foi> the past six years in Indiana and a change is needed. Legislatures no longer elect United States senators and there is no good excuse for supporting a party in the state on national issues. Legislature! make the laws that form the basis of expense of running the state. They don’t pass tariff laws, they don’t pass anti-trust laws and have practically nothing to do in the issues that make us partisans. They are elected as the servants of the people and they have a duty in Indiana now that is higher than party, it is the duty of citizenship, most , importantly expressed now in the public demand for curtailment in the rtmnlng expenses of the state. The Republican believes that Tom Marshall was well meaning, and that Governor Ralston is anxious to represent the people as they desire, but that both were and are dominated by the unscrupulous methods of Tom Taggart, the Indianapolis boss, add by Crawford Fairbanks, the Terre Haute brewer, ahd that the democratic party is dominated by the corrupt machine ♦which these men have established. New offices have ’been created, salaries increased and extravagances indulged in that have made taxes higher than they were, higher than they should be, No relief can be experienced until the Taggart-Fair-banks crowd is overthrown. This can be done if the republican state and legislative ticket is elected. Not because it is a republican ticket, but because it spells the defeat of the extravagant crowd now in control. -

RENSSELAER, INDIANA. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1914.

CLEAN UP EVERBODY; HELP GOOD CAUSE

Fftday Designated by Governor Ralston .As “Disease Prevention Day”—AU Can Help. Friday, Oct. 2nd, is to be “Disease Prevention Day” arid most of the merchants of this city have agreed to place exhibits in their windows calculated to dissemiate informar tion and aid in the good cause of improved health. Probably the most important thing which people generally can do is to clean up about their own homes and places of business. Ruth bish piles should be removed and everything that might prove a-con-tributory cause to disease should be obliterated. The fall of the year is as important as the spring for cleaning up and every person in this city should fall in with the purpose of the day and help the good cause along. The City Health Board makes a request that all ladies’ organizations, including the Ladies’' .Literary Society, the Sew Clubs and others, make an inspection some time Friday of the various windows of the business houses of the city, thus enabling them to become acquainted more fully with the importance of disease prevention arid exercise* their influence in a wider dissemination of the knowledge acquired.

The boy cut one of his knees with a com knife several weeks ago Ind infection had set in and proud flesh was causing trouble. It became necessary to quite thoroughly cleanse the knee joint and to use a weight to extend the leg and it Is not impossible that the young man will always have a stiff knee.

Democratic Paper Says Burleson Is “Bun in China Shop.”

The North Judson News, edited by Chester A. 'McCormick, senator from this district in the state legislature,’ has the following to say abottt the recent advocacy by Post-master-General Burleson that rural mail carrying jobs be let to the lowest bidders: “Postmaster General Burleson is proving to be a bull in a china shop with about every department of the mail service. He is now urging congress to pass a law permitting him to let out the rural mail routes of the country to the lowest bidder and' place the rural service on a plane with the mail messenger and star route service of the country, where the poorest salaries paid by the government for service bbtairi. “If Burleson gets the present congress to pass this every mail carrier in Starke county arid in the country at large, will lose his job or he must bid it off at very likely little more than half the salary received. There are always a lot of fellows ready to bid on a job at most any price and then if they don’t like it, resign. By this process good service and experience in the service would count for nothing and the service would be cheap and rotten, no doubt about that.”
