Circulars Opposing New Constitution Are Passed.

Circulars were passed in Rensselaer Saturday opposing the new constitution for Indiana. This proposition is to be voted upon at the election. All three parties declared for it* in their state platforms. It should carry. The interests behind the effort to defeat it are the sinister interests of graft and corruption. The ministerial associations are for a new constitution. i ~ . The good citizens league is for a new constitution. The anti-saloon league is for a ne wconstitution.

Every active, wide-awake organization that has public welfare* at heart is; in favor of a new constitution. The breweries, the bosses, the grafters are against it They are getting out a lot of literature that tries to “frighten readers about the expense and misrepresents the things that are to enter into a new constitution. These should not- influence any person from this non-partisan opportunity to vote for a greater Indiana, a more progressive constitution, a reform in taxation and an opportunity to secure wholesale legislation that can never be passed when men are sent to the legislature to represent parties and not the welfare of their constituents. Let of us be partisans now. Let us face the future with a desire to contribute to its greatness. Let us be progressive in practice and not reactionary. Vote for the new constitution. It will give an opportunity to prevent double taxation .by taxing property and mortgages both. It will give an opportunity to find out if the great majority of the people of the state are not in favor of state wide prohibition. It will make it possible to pass laws that are needed but not in tune with a worn out constitution. It will mean that we can elect our best and most trusted citizens to draft a new constitution and that we can pass judgment on it at the polls. It will be a blow to corruption, should eliminate a lot of political ■* graft, establish system where chaos runs rampant, take the saloon out of politics and off the map, get rid of bootlegging, correct the shameful law that permits the sale of whiskey_by the drugstores, and result in a simplification of our law*.

It ma/mean the adoption of some things that we think at this time we do not favor, but it will, at least* make Indiana a state of the twentieth century and not of the nineteenth. Vote “Yes” on the new constitution.

Ask any person who gives you a circular against the proposition why they are opposed to it. Find out who the people are who are having the circulars passed. The fact is that the interests that are objecting to the new constitution are unable to get the support of the newspapers. Vote “Yes” with all your might and advise’your friends to do the same thiilg.

Ensign James E. Brenner Again Ordered to Mexico.

Ensign James E. Brenner, of the U. 8. navy, received orders last Thursday to return to Mexican waters and he left that day on the U. 8. S. Raleigh from San Francisco. The internal troubles continue in that country and while the papers do pot indicate it, the fact is that thf situation is now as grave as at any previous time since the revolution against Diaz was started. Ensign Brenntft’s wjfe and mother, who had been with him at Vellejo, Cal., have gone to Sea Bright (Station, Vera Cruz, Calif.

WATSEKA TOO MUCH FOR OLD R. H. S.

Visitors Triumphed Over Red and Black By 22 to 7 in First Rome Game ol the Season.

Watseka high school defeated Rensselaer high school Saturday by the score of 22 to 7. The visitors played a better game and were entitled to win, but the local lads and the spectators felt" convinced at the end of the contest that the material is at hand for much better results than were attained Saturday and it is expected that future games will show them in much better trim. While the visitors’ team was very well balanced, the work of Scholl, the left half back, was the great factor in their victory. He is doubtless one of the best players that ever figured in a high school game in this city and was the chief factor in defense as well as the most dependable ground gainer of the game. He made all the points for his team, two touchdowns, one goal and three drop kicks. One of his touchdowns followed an 80-yard run, in the course of which he dem* onstrated that he was somewhat of a sprinter, an artful dodger and ■full of nerve. The story of the game is almost told in relating the work of Scholl, although he was ably supported by Martin, at left end; Pierce at quarterback; Williams at right half and Oates at full. Martin was constantly in the game, repeatedly got across the line and broke up plays by the Rensselaer team and* had a way of' getting down the field that marked him as an end of great ability.. The game started with Rensselaer kicking off. Eigelsbaeh planted the ball well down the field -and Scholl was downed with only a short return. Williams went around left end for 5 yards and Pierce double passed the ball to Scholl, who went around the left end for 20 and followed with 12. Williams failed to gain and Pierce fumbled and lost 4 yards. Scholl made the first'forward pass of the game to Clifton, the play nettihg 18 yards and the ball being on the 2 yard line. Rensselaer held for the first down and on the second Watseka fumbled and the ball rolled right through the line and while the Rensselaer lads were unconscious of its whereabouts Scholl had it spotted and fell on it. The angle was bad and Scholl missed the goal, the only thing he missed during the day, unless it was his dinner. The first touchdown was secured in only 5 minutes and it was plain to be seen that Rensselaer’s defensive "aults were chiefly in the ends and in poor tackling. Local stock took a boom when on the first play fter (Scholl kicked to Moore, Will Eigclsbach went around right end for 25 yards and Babcock made 5 through tackle Carl Eigelsbach failed/to gain and Moore made 6. Babcock made 6 and W. Eigelsbach made 4 and Booster 3. The Watseka line then took a brace, although had Rensselaer played faster they might -have . scored, but there were some delays that gave the visitors wind and the line held for three downs and then Eigelsbach tried a drop kick, which went a little wide. Rensselaer had lost ah opportunity. Watseka put the ball in play from their 25-yard line and Williams made 20 yards around left end. Scholl and Williams each made 1 yard and then Scholl made a Jorward pass to Williams for 10 yards and [then Scholl made a 4-yard gain, watseka was forced to punt and Moore caught the ball, making only a short gain as Martin was down the field like a flash. Booster made 2 yards and W. Eigelsbach made 9. There was another succession of short gains, the best being by Booster for 15 yards, but Rensselaer was forced to punt and Scholl carried the 'ball back 15 yards. Two forward passes, both by Scholl, the first to Clifton and the second to Martin, netted 38 yards. Williams made a short end run for 8 yards and Scholl passed to (Martin for 10. Pierce fumbled and lost 3 but recovered the ball and Scholl drop kicked from'the 25yard line for 3 more points. Scholl kicked to Eigelsbach, who made 9 yards. Rensselaer fumbled but recovered the ball. -Jimmie (Babcock lost his temper and 30 yards for doing so and Rensselaer had to punt. Scholl and Williams in advancing the ball ball was on the 10-yard line (fcholl drop kKpked and the score was 12 to O. ' Rens&a laer took another offensive attitude and had the ball on the 10 yard line at the end of the half. Coach Parker gave his spirited lecture and changed the defensive formation for the forward pass and the visitors could not work it so well after that, tn fact, Rensselaer entered the second half with a fine chance to pull the game out of the

Valpo Student Jumped in Lake; Girl in the Case.

Tom -D’Albray, a student at Valparaiso university, tried to eommit suicide Friday evening. He jumped in Sager’s lake and was rescued by workmen. He was unconscious for a time but was restored at the Christian hospital. He shook hands with his doctor as he left the hospital, stating that he did not remember what happened after becoming angered at a young woman. He said that he was dazed and walked away from her and knew nothing until he regained consciousness in the hospital. The young man had been an actor and was doing very well but his parents wanted him to get an education and had sent him to several colleges. He had pulled off some sensation at each place and the bpy will probably be permitted now to go his own way.

coals and Phillips, who, replaced Booster Eigelsbach at half, made a 35-yard gain to start the ball rolling. Babcock*made € yards through the line and Eigelsbach and (Moore made short gains but finally the ball was lost on downs. Hopkins and Swaim each done some fine defeasive work at this stage of the game, getting through the line and blocking some plays. This kind of work was too much for Scholl and he was halted for a time. He tried a forward pass and Phillips intercepted it. Rensselaer tried a forward pass, but it - did not go off right and line plunges were resumed and Moore made 8 yards when it was badly needed. The ball was lost, however, on a fumble. Watseka seemed to have all the luck in getting the ball. They made 20 yards on a forward pass, but another attempt failed through the good work of Eigelsbach, Rensselaer made several short gains through the line and on short end runs and a forward pass to Eigelsbach advanced the ball 11 yards. Babcock then went around left end for a touchdown, narrowly averting a tumbleby Scholl, who missed him but an inch. Hopkins kicked goal and the score was 12 tc 7 and bet ter things looked possible. Soon after the ball was kicked off, however Scholl skirted right end for 80 yards outrunning the Rensselaer backs and planted the ball between the posts and kieked goal, making the score 19 to 7. Later he netted 3 more points by another drop kick, his third for the game and the score was 22 to 7. - Rensselaer did not show any offensive work of note during the last quarter, but Eigelsbach was doing better work at end than had been seen during the game and made two gains on forward passes and intercepted a pass from Scholl. The subs were given a chance and showed well. Rhoades, Curnick, Price, Crooks, Loy, got in and played well. Price plowed through and tackled Williams tor a loss, which marks him as a possibility for line work. Apparently there is a lack .of sprinting ability, tacklnig must be Improved, the ends and defensive halves developed, the forward pass perfected and then the team will be ready for all comers. It should not lose'another game, for the material is at hand. A little more “pep” and we won’t lose another game

On the sly he whispered to Coach Parker: “Any chance?” Bob would like to be at it again. Ed Honan’s stentorian voice was missed. A democratic speech is the only thing that will keep Ed away froth a football game. Honest now, you It s. athletes, you’ve got to put all you have In next Saturday's game.

MONON CONSTABLE SURE SOME SLEUTH

“Ego” Miller Arrested Glif Sumner and Vera Sanders as Suspects in Robbery Case.

Constable “Ego” Miller, of Monon. whose conduct as a sleuth resembles the moving picture and comic supplement type, arrested Clifford Sumner and Verb Sanders, employes of the Central Garage, of this city, Saturday night, handled them roughly, cursed them and detained them over night, and probably put himself liable for' prosecution for his abusive and illegal methods. Sumner and Sanders had started to Monticeilo on an Indian motorcycle. They broke down east of Monon and returned to that town to repair their machine. “Bright Eyes” Miller and his tin star hove in sight and he at once accused them of being the men who had robbed A. R. Clark’s and O. A. Jacks’ stores at Lee a few nights before. They denied their connection with the crime, told who they were, who they worked for and with any reasonable or fair-minded officer would have been permitted to call up Rensselaer to verify their story. The pseudo slteuth of (Monon, however, bundled them off to a restaurant and placed a,guard over them and they were kept all night. While sitting in chairs they fell asleep and the constable shook them and struck Sumner in the left eye and handled them like they were a couple of bad men who were trying to make their escape. They wre kept until 9 o’clock Sunday morning, the night watch having guarded them over night. They waited until 9 sos the city marshal to show up and prefer -charges against them but he did not come and the young men then got their motorcycle and cable home. They have arranged to consult a lawyer and see what can be done to make tnis officious sleuth pay fox the injuries inflicted ahd the trouble he caused them. This is the same Miller with the cow brand countenance and the reputation for beating his wife who showed so much authority at a ball game at Monon last year. It is a pity that he is permitted to be loose, much less to have any authority, for he has no conception of how to use it and self-respecting Monon people shofild see that he is de prived of his high office before some one makes his anatomy resemble a sieve.

DAIRY SHOW

AN APPEAL.

October 12, 1914 To the Republicans of Indiana: The country needs today as she never needed before, a reunited, militant, victorious republican party. What the country needs it is the duty of every man to give, regardless of personal influences, past party affiliations, anger, pique, resentment, ambition or sacrifice. To fully realize the immeasurable present need for the success of the republican party we need but 100 IT about us, analyze our own situation, or ask any wage earner, manufacturer, farmer—any man in -wny section or in any walk of life. To the republican party now, as in the past, the country will turn | for deliverance. To make the victory certain It Is our duty to wage a vigorous campaign. To do this, as everyone knows, requires a certain amount of expense, which, by reason of the size of the state, is necessarily large. This is especially true for the balance of the campaign, by reason of the heavy expense of our speakers, meetings and postage. To provide the money for the necessary expense we have to depend solely upon voluntary contributions from individuals interested in the success of the party and the consequent prosperity of the nation and good government of the state. To meet these financial requirements we appeal to all republicans, to all who are opposed to present conditions dn state and nation, and wc ask that they send to Frank D. Stalnaker, President of the Indiana National Rank, Indianapolis, and Treasurer of the Republican State Committee, such amounts as they can spare, assuring all contributors that even the smallest sum will be welcomed most heartily—Republican State Central Committee. ■ ii M. ■■■■■—.-■ y
