• * -' ".N. V The Man Who Thinks mmmmmmmmammmmmmmm mrnmmmmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmmmmmmmmrnmmmmmmmmm More Than He Talks By Booth Tarkington ** TN ’98,--when the United States needed soldiers and -A asked for them, many of the more conspicuous volunteers received (and some of them encouraged) a great deal of publicity. The papers were ‘full of them.’ as we say. It was not so with Harry New; he just got his gun and went off to the war. When it was all over he came back, as quietly as he went. That was characteristic of him. \ is a Hooaier of the old best breed; the old Hoosier stock that stood for cool level-headedness, f6r common-sense, for steadiness and for kindness. He is a wholly good neighbor and a wholly good fellow-citizen. He thinks more than he talks—and when he acts, |omething happens! "He is a quiet man; but he is not a frowing man; not a self-important man. He is quiet because he is thoughtful and when he smiles everybody in sight smiles; —no one could help it! You begin to feel that the world is all right, after all, when you see Harry New smile. "I believe that he never shook hands in his life without meaning it. I believe that he has never spoken a word without meaning it. I believe that he is unable to say a word that he doesn’t mean, This man is all honest. He,is precisely what he is. He has been doing generous things all his life; but never once has he done a kind thing in order to get benefit or credit from it, himself. He would not know how. He helps people because he wants to help them. There is no insincerity in him. "There is no smallness of dhy kind in him, neither in his mind nor in hjs heart. These are negatives; let us pass to the affirmative. Harry New is an actual modern patriot; his Americanism is so deep-seated that it is the very soul of the man. This quiet man is a Big man; he thinks in National terms, and he knows not only his State but his’ Country. Both need him in United States Senate. In the most critical time in our history since the Civil War, it Is. dangerous to experiment or compromise in the types of men we are sending to the Congress. The selection of Harry New would be neither a compromise nor am experiment; it. would be the selection of a people wise enough to select the best they have. For that is what he is. , ~ - • "Perhaps you will notice the frequency with which the word ‘man’ oeeurs in these voluntary remarks. That is not because I find an unusual awkwardness in expressing myself„ ( today. It is because the word MAltf is in the mind, Sll the time of anyone who writes or speaks of Harry New of Indiana.” Help send this man to the United States Senate by Voting for him in the Republican —— Primaries, March 7 th.

Historic Purdue Armory is Victim of Flames Thursday.

Purdue University's old wooden armory building was destroyed by fire early Thursday morning and most of the contents in it, the principal loss being occasioned by the destruction of rifles and other equipment belonging to the war department of the United States government, loaned to the university for military cadets. The loss is .’estimated at about $15,000 and is largely covered by insurance. Heroic work on the part of students and firemen prevented the loss of the grand stand on Stewart field. As soon as a number of students arrived on the campus, they went to the power plant, where three tanks of chemicals are kept, and taking these they poured them over the grandstand. The armory was an old structure, being one of the four original buildings erected at the time the university was founded. For a number of years it was the armory and gymnasium where graduation exercises were first held.

Representative Wood Visits Parents of Congressman Wood.

Representative William L. Wood, of Parr, has been campaigning in Newton and Benton counties,the past week and especially in Benton county, where he has been warmly received. While, at Oxford he called on Mr. and Mrs. Robert Wood, the venerable parents of Representative Will R. Wood. He is past eighty years age and Mr. Wood is slightly younger. They are very naturally quite proud of their son and in this pride we feel the entire tenth district will share, as he develops into one of the country's most able members of congress. Congressman Wood was bom and .raised in Benton county and has always lived in either that county or in Lafayette. His old neighbors are loyal to him and his old boyhood acsuch as Attorney Frank Foltz, of this city, are among his ardent supporters.

WOODS MOBILETTE.

Well, have you seen the latest and the greatest thing that’s out, That all the. great commotion and discussion is about The wonder of the motor world has come and comedo stay; Its many sterling qualities have won the right of way; The lightest high power motor car the world has produced yet. It cuts the cost of upkeep and it’s called Woods Mobilette. The price—three hundred eighty, is anything but high. The car has great efficiency, on that you can rely; With standardized construction great power, and strength per weight. It will not skid nor overturn you truthfully can state; It’s great for speed and safety, its easy to maintain. The cost of operation it more than cuts in twain. It saves in cost of tires, saves half your gasoline; In point of real economy it truly is supreme. The world’s been waiting for this car. Demand?—Supremely great; So place your order early or be compelled to wait. Gall on the local agent and frankly to him state You want to know about this car and he will demonstrate. It's daddy longleg’s resting place and yet the fat man's dream, Of all the light cars on the road Woods Mobilette is the cream. McLeod, Miss.

NATIONAL GUARD ON HIGHER PLANE

Adjutant-General Badges’ Report Shows Increase In Numbers and Higher Efficiency. Indianapolis, Feb. 24.—1 n answer to statements of persons who have been criticising the Indiana National Guard, Frank L. Bridges, adjutantgeneral, has given Gov. Ralston a report in which he commends the assistance given him by members and -officers of the guard and in which ha shows statistics to support his assertion that the guard is in better shape in Indiana today than it ever has been. Although two infantry companies are needed to complete a brigade, there were 651 more officers and men on the rolls of the organization at the Jan. 1, 1914. At the close of 1915 and following the report of inspections by the government, 638 officers and men were refused further support from the government, but at the beginning of 1916, 2,930 men had been inspected and accepted by the government. Following this inspection a new company of seventy-two officers and men was recruited at Winamac. When this roster wias completed Bridges issued another order relative to “cleaning out the deadwood” and 151 men were discharged, but almost immediately 34 men were recruited, making the total figures 2,885 officers and men.

Much pride is being taken by members of the guard in the reports relative to attendance at federal inspections. The actual enrollment in 1913 was 2,476 men, but only 1,662 men attended regularly, while in 1915 the enrollment was 2,847 men and 2,057 attended. The result is a net gain in attendance of 23.7 per cent, according to Bridges. The records now being compiled by the various companies of the guard are being made under a severe handicap, as compared with previous years, as the qualifications necessary to receive federal support have been made higher, in fact, they are the qualificationis by which the regular army is judged. Despite this handicap, the records show the actual attendance at Camps of instruction held in 1915 was 2,445, while in 1914 it was only 1,898 and in 1913, only 1,885.

Hint to Car Owners Better Buy Gas Now

Robert Stewart, director of the Standard Oil Co. of Indiana, appearing at a hearing before the city council of which has declined to issue permits to the company for five more filling stations until the rise of the price of gasoline has been adequately explained, declared Thursday that the price will continue to rise and said that ther is a possibility ot a world-wide gasoline famine. (Increases in the price of crude oil and the demand for gasoline and the prices for articles used in refining processes have sent prices skyward, he stated.

Fleet In Pacific Might Be Victim For One Good Ship

While the house military committee wias taking steps toward getting its bill for increasing the lar army and the federalization of the National Guard before the house within ten days, the naval:committee was being Jnformed. by Admiral Cameron Winslow that the entire Pacific fleet which he commands might be an easy victim for a singly good enemy battleship. Admiral Winslow made the statement smilingly. Pressed by Representative Stephens of California for an exact description of the condition of the ships under his command, he said that the force was wholly inadequate, even with all its reserves called out, to meet any probable enemy in the Pacific. What p,ans the navy department had for meeting an emergency there or in the Atlantic, however, he said were matters of strategy which he did not care to reveal except in confidential sessions.

Pythian Sisters Inspected by District Deputy Thursday Night.

The local order of Pythian Sisters was inspected Thursday evening by the district deputy, Mrs. Jessie Wood, of Star City, who was the-guest of Mrs. W. L. Bott while in the city. About thirty members of the orde& were present and a few of the Knights were also there. The inspection consisted of viewing the initiatory work, the candidate being Mrs. Leo Reeve. The team was complimented for the excellence of its work. Following the installation all went to Fate’s College Inn, where a cheon was served. y L . The British government is again 4n the market for khaki cloth, 10,000,000 yards having been reported as necessary to meet the demand. This has caused a rise in the price of wool tops, crossbred qualities, of 2 cents a pound, according to a dispatch from Bradford, England. A full blooded Indian baby was bom at Lafayette Wednesday, the was named Little Eagle. Little Eagle’s grandfather took part in the Custer massacre. C 7" y

GOODRICH HEARTILY ENDORSED BY EDWARD C. TONER I i Former Chairman ot (lie Progressive State Committee Favors demos P. Goodrich as the Logical Candidate tor Governor. Mr. Toner answering an Inquiry from M. H. Camden, of Indianapolis, re••rding the availability of Mr. Goodrich from the standpoint of a Progressive, volunteered the following striking reply; February 15, 1910. Mr. M. H. Camden, 419 Ltmcke Building, 4 Indianapolis, Ind. My dear Mr. Camden: Your letter of the 14th at hand. In reply It gives me a great deal of pleasure to say to you that I know nothing that would refleot in the slightest on the availibflity of Mr. Goodrich as a Republican candidate for Governor. On the other hand I am quite sure he would be one of the strongest candidates the Republican party has put up in a great many years. 4 was a delegate to the Chicago convention in 1912 and as such came Into frequent contact with Mr. Goodrich. He was not, aocording to my view, a “standpat” Republican. If there had been a v great many more at that convention of Mr. Goodrich's typo there would not have been a spiit in the party that year. Mr. Goodrich remained with the Republican party, but during the several years of differences between the regular Republicans and the Progressives the efforts of Mr. Goodrich were at all times directed toward closing up the breach and bringing about a reunited party. These efforts came into public view at the meeting of the . National Republican committee at Washington in December, 1912. I was very much pleased at that time to note that Mr. Goodrich, as the National Committeeman from Indiana, directed his influence and his work toward bringing about a more equitable reps resentation in Republican National conventions, more particularly to decrease the inequitable southern representation to which was directly attributed a large part of the trouble in the Chicago convention in t 912. ( I have regarded Mr. Goodrich as a progressive Republican and I regard him as such at this time. I am acquainted with Mr. Goodrich as his political and his personal life has touched our district, and I am acquainted with his place in Randolph county, which is a neighboring county to Madison. For a quarter of a century and more he has stood in his home county as a representative of the best type of citizenship. In all his undertakings he has shown a remarkable efficiency, and this efficiency has always been associated with an unusual conscientiousness and with an integrity and sincerity of purpose that marks him as an unusual man. Because of my situation it has been and it Is now my plan to take no part in connection with the various candidates for nomination. I am glad, however, to answer your questions, and I want to add that If the Republican party always nominates men of the high character and splendid quality of Mr. Goodrich there can be no gamble concerning the future success of the party. » Yours very truly, EDWARD C. TONER. ~m’ ~ ' No one knows the real sentiment of the Indiana Progressives better than Mr. Toner, who was at the head of their state committee in 1914. He also knows Mr. Goodrich as well as any man in Indiana. The fact that strong leaders of the Progressives like Mr. Toner and Rudolph G. Leeds, of Richmond, former national committeeman, of his party have endorsed Mr. Goodrich as the man to lead the Republican party to victory in Indiana this year is one of the most significant developments of the primary campaign. —l it proves that Mr. Goodrich always has given every element of the party a BQUARE DEAL and that all elements regard him as the logical candidate for governor in 1916. Mr. Goodrich will be nominated March 7 and elected November 7, because the people are convinced that he not only stands for honest, efficient, economical and business like management of state affairs, but because they know that he is a man of highest character, fine ability and broad experience. He also is the choice of the rank and file of the party who realize that io one is more competent than Mr. Goodrich to organize the Republicans for* 3 successful campaign. A vote for Goodrich at the primary is a long step In the direction of better state government. VOTE EARLY AND FOR GOODRICH. —Adv.

Congress to Accept Wilson’s Course In Armed Ship Issue.

Congress, it is generally believed in Washington, will not pass any bill or resolution warning Americans co stay off of belligerent ships carrying arms unless' the controversy with Germany to prevent war. In the president is forced to appeal to congress for advice. In that event it is believed that an effort will be made to pass such a resolution simply as a concession to Germany to prevetn war. In the meantime word has gone forth that the president is not to be interfered with by congress in his diplomatic negotiations with Germany. The resolution intorduced by' Senator <sfore and shelved by the republican parliamentary’ move will be pressed again today, but the belief prevails that the "president’s supporters have already won the day and that this and other similar measures are doomed to defeat. *
