BILLION DOLLAR LOANS. The allies are seeking to make a billion dollar loan in America. They want to get it from rich Americans and to leave it in this country to purchase ammunition with. The Republican believes that the government should prevent the making of the loan, for the reason that in an effort to secure themselves the loaners would be trying in every way to get the United States to favor the borrowers. Those who made the loan would not be neutral. The Republican has never regarded it neutral for J. P. Morgan to act as the munitions agent for the allies in this country, handling the foreign millions and issuing the orders for munitions for the allies. Neutrality can not be maintained if private funds in this country are loaned to any of the belligerents. As certain as the borrowers came into great danger the loaners would exert every influence to drag the U. S. into the great conflict.

Star Misrepresents B. B. Baker.'Monticello Herald. The Indianapolis Star carried a story Sunday concerning the meeting of the progressive state committee held in Indianapolis Saturday. If the entire article is no nearer the truth than the statement that “B. B. Baker, chairman of the tenth district, was present,” is, it is indeed a gorgeous fabrication. Mr. Baker was not present, but was here in Monticello all the time. Mr. Baker is . not the Bull Moose chairman of the tenth district, neither is he' a Bull Moose, bu t a full-fledged republican and a member of the Columbia Club of Indianapolis, ready to fight the old enemy in 1916. The people of Indiana, however, have long since ceased to regard the Star as reliable on political affairs.

WATSON’S ADDRESS THAT OF STATESMAN

James E. Made Great Speech In Announcing His Candidacy For United States Senator. James E. Watson made a great address at Rushville Wednesday. That is his home town and a meeting' of 6th district republicans was arranged as the setting for Jim’s announcement of his candidacy for the United States senate. It was really a state-wide meeting and there were 53 counties represented. Plans had been made to feed 7,000 at the barbecue but the plans were not large enough and many went unfed, but they did not lose any enthusiasm and it is said that never in the history of the republican party has a more enthusiastic meeting been held in Indiana so far in advance of a campaign. The address of Mr. Watson was the chief feature and he kept the great throng spellbound for two hours while he delivered one of the very best political addresses ever made in the state. Mr. Watson had lots to say. He was one of the most active members of the lower house during twelve years that he represented the sixth district and he has been a student of everything that enters into the making of a great nation since that time. He has had the experience, the knowledge, the spirit and he is given a power of expression few men possess. His oratory served him well Wednesday and his speech has the ring of confidence that the American people will at the first opportunity vote to restore the republican party to power in nation and state, in his complete address Mr. Watson did not dodge an issue. Knowing that he has been accused of being a reactionary he met the issue clearly and pointed out that he .had been identified with progressive measures ;hroughout his service in the lower )ranch of congress. He read a letter written to him by Theodore Roosevelt at the close of Mr. Watson’s service in the legislature in which Mr. Roosevelt praised his work and erpressed his congratulations and an “earnest hope for the success of his efforts.”

Mr. Watson discussed the tariff, favored a tariff commission for which he had worked while in the house and lobbied for after he was out of congress. He again gave endorsement to the merchant marine, to a more complete preparedness for defense, to the aggressiveness of the party along all lines, and states that he had supported the law that established a department of commerce and labor, the railway rate laws, the Elkins anti-rebate bill, for three pure food laws, for the meat inspection law, for the national health act, for a bureau of mines and mining, for a workmen's compensation law, for an employees* liability law and for every measure introduced in congress to safeguard the interests of the labor of woen and children. After making these claims he produced and read the letter written by Theodore Roosevelt and endorsing him in every way. He told of his effort -to reduce southern representation in the national conventions back in 1908 and said that had his efforts received endorsement there would have been no trouble in 1912. These matters have now been largely overcome by the work of the national republican committee in which Mr. Watson and former Governor Hadley participated. He said there is no occasion for wrangle in the republican ranks. We are all for a protective tariff. We are alike on the Philippine policy, on the Panama canal, on the merchant marine, on army and navy preparedness, on banking and currency and for international improvements and control of corporations. And he asked: “Is there occasion for us how to be divided over Roosevelt or Taft or any other man?” ' He then said: “I make no apology for my past course; I demand none at the hand of any other man, regardless of what he did in 1912. I assume that all acted conscientiously and for what they believed to be for the best interests of the party and through it the dearest concerns of the county, and therefore apologies are neither demanded or expected. “My view is that we should all act together the same as if no division had ever occurred, act together in making platforms and in naming candidates and in forming the organization. I propose to shape my course on that theory. If any man who temporarily left the party in 1912 be nominated by the party in 1916 I shall most cordially support him without reference to the. past. “Politics is a gresent-day problem. The question is not ‘What did you do three years ago?’ but ‘What, are you going to do now?’ We have a united and militant enemy before us and* we ' too must be united and militant if we 'succeed in delivering the country from the withering and blighting es--1 sects of democratic misrule.”

Lightning Struck Twice In Same Place in Country.

For the second time in recent years lightning struck twice in the same place on the B. T. Lanham farm, south of town. The second visit was Wednesday night at 12 o’clock and as before, his barn and contents were burned.' A good mare was killed anc a colt so badly burned that it was decided to kill it. On the former visit of the lightning a colt was burned in precisely the same way, necesstating that it be killed. Mr. Lanham’s loss was covered by insurance in the G. H. McLain agency and will probably not exceed 1300, the barn being a small one.

JOHN EGER. Mrs. Walter English and baby came from Lafayette this morning for a brief visit with relatives. She had the misfortune to run a darning needle through one finger Wednesday and came here to have it attended.

He then asked pardon for a' personal reference and said that if elected to the senate he would not have to serve an apprenticeship of two or three years but would be able to enter full strength on a solution of the problems that will confront a special session of congress that would unquestionably be called if a republican president and a republican congress are elected in 1916.

Mr. Watson asked for a -fair trial of the primary law passed by the democratic legislature. He said he had not favored such a law but now that it was written he wanted it tested in comparison with the delegate plan of nominations. .He said that he is not seeking the nomination as a reward but in order that he can assert his unwavering loyalty to the principles of the republican party in enacting into law measures calculated to be of such great benefit in establishing a lasting and dependable prosperity. He said :“If I am elected to the senate I will exert my utmost endeavors to aid business, to foster trade, to promote commerce.” In conclusion he said: “I am opposed to extreme radicalism on the one hand and to extreme conservatism on the other, and I am in hearty favor of the policy of Abraham Lincoln, that of conservative progress,’ holding fast to that which is good while discarding that which js evil, safeguarding the right here, plucking out a wrong there, and remembering that material prosperity is essential to the welfare and happiness of a people and yet not forgetting that un-American ways of accumulating or using wealth is a menace to the doctrine of equality, which is the fundamental idea about which the states of the union and grouped and crystallized.” Mr. Watson was introduced by B. R. Inman, who in 1912 and 1914 was the publicity agent of the progressive party. He spoke briefly of his position during those years and said that he had no apology to make, but that he had never ceased to believe in the cardinal principles of the republican party and that he believed now with a reunited party success would come and permanent prosperity would be restored.

SUNDAY SCHOOLS HOLD CONVENTION

State Secretary Bernie Here and TwoDay Program Carried Out At Presbyterian Church.

The annual convention of the Jasper County Sunday School Association was opened Wednesday afternoon at the Presbyterian church at 2 ©’’clock. Mrs. A. R. Hopkins at the organ, and C. E. Prior as chorister, led the singing of two hymns. Mr. Leatherman, the president, then reviewed the work of the year and the outlook. He welcomed the delegates to Rensselaer and only regretted that there were not more present, there being only about 50, and the majority of these being local people. George H. Hammerton, of Parr, responded and said he felt that the only reason more were not interested in the work was because they did not know more than a lack of interest. Mrs. Ed J. Randle sang a solo, which was appreciated. State Secretary Geo. N. Burnie then spoke on “The Sunday School Program.” He said that all teachers, the pastor and all interested, are responsible for the program; that time and preparaion were absolutely necessary; promptness in beginning and closing each part; a variety in program but not so much as to be disconcerting. Mr. Leatherman appointed the following committees: Nominating: S. C. Robinson, Rev. J. C. Parrett, Mrs. Ocie Brusnahan. Resolutions: Mr. Ott, Mr. VanDuzen, Mr. Hammerton.

In time of Raikes it was merely reading essons. 2 From 1800 for 25 years it was purely memorizing. 3.

HANGING GROVE.

Horton & Heltzel sold two hundred white shotes in one herd to a Remington man Monday. They presented a very uncommon sight for this locality. Mrs. Christie, of Chalmers, who has been visiting her sister, Mrs. Chet Downs, in Barkley, is visiting J. C. Maxwell and family. Hugh Maxwell’s foot is quite a bit better just now, he having been able to ride out same. The stone haulers have moved their tents from McCoysburg to G. W. Hobson’s and have began hauling stone from Bussell’s switch. The prolonged threshing season has made it hard for the contractor to get steady teams, but with the short haul now the work should move along nicely.

Ed Rose entered Purdue Monday and is taking civil engineering. Mr. and Mrs. Sam Robinson, of Morocco, are visiting relatives here for a few days. Mr. Robinson is taking his annual vacation. Mrs. Mary Ann Robinson visited her daughter, Mrs. J. R. Phillips, a short time Tuesday. She returned to Rensselaer to assist in caring for measles in Dan Robinson’s family. Elvin Bussell was taken quite sick with acute indigestion while at work on the new road Monday afternoon. He was hurried to a physician in Rensselaer, where it first thought the trouble might be appendicitis. Later developments failed to show appendicitis symptoms. His condition was somewhat better Wednesday. Quite a little excitement was occasioned here Monday afternoon when John Herr came out and stopped the C. & W. V.fßy. from further construction of their new side track to the Monon depot until they paid him for the land covered by their tracks. Mr. Herr claims to have told the section boss not to cross over on his land until some settlement had been made. Mr. Herr threw an oak bridge plank across the track in front of the work train, bringing everything to a sudden stop. Mr. Herr is not trying to ceep them from building their switch jut only wants pay for the land they use. An agreement will likely be reached soon. The company is probably not altogether to blame for there seems to be a little dispute about the title of this particular land. Lou McDonald, of Monticello, is lere visiting relatives and friends. Quarterly meeting and preaching service at McCoysburg Saturday evening at 7:30 o’clock.

DON’T WAIT.

Take Advantage of a Rensselaer Citizen’s Experience. When the back begins to ache, Don’t wait until backache becomes chronic; ’Till kidney troubles develop; ’Till urinary troubles destroy night’s rest. Profit by a Rensselaer citizen’s experience. Mrs. F. W. Rutherford, College Ave., Rensselaer, says: "My back ached most of the time and I felt languid and had no ambition. I had dizzy spells and headaches and there were many other symptoms of kidney trouble. I got a box of Doan’s Kidney Pills at Fendig’s Drug Store and. the brought prompt relief. I am seldom without a supply of Doan’s Kidney Pills in the house and I find that a few doses now and then, keep my kidneys in good working order. Others of my family have taken Doan’s Kidney Pills and in each case the results have been of the best.” Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Rutherford had. Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y.

A FARMER’S VIEW.

The editor of The Republican was talking to a White county farmer Monday who expressed himself as confident of the success of the candidacy of Warren McCray for governor. He had visited other parts of the state and had talked with other farmers and they had been of one mind. They knew that a business man is needed at the helm of the government and they know that the proof of ability in managing the public’s business is safely based upon the talent exhibited in private enterprise. This farmer said that farmers and stockmen all over Indiana are looking with great favor on Mr. McCray and that they regard him as the strongest candidate it is possible to name.

James E. Watson at his home town of Rushville, at a big meeting Wednesday announced his candidacy for the republican nomination for United ‘States senate. The active list now includes James E. Watson, William L. Taylor, Arthur R. Robinson and Judge Olds. It is probable that Hugh Th. Miller will also again be a candidate.
