Wilson Policy Toward Mexico Is G. O. P. Target.

The primary lino of attack on President Wilson in the national campaign will be Mexico. Col. Roosevelt will fire has breadsides at the president’s Mexican policy. Charles E. Hughes will make this the object of his opening attack on the administration in his speech of acceptance at New York on July 31st. The principal plan of action—against Mr. Wilsort’s Mexican policy —was determined Friday by the republican national campaign committee, -in session in Now York. Mexico was the principal topic of discussion at the two hours’ meeting of the committee in the Hotel Aster. Committeeman R. B. Powell, of Nebraska, spoke during the morning to the committee, saying emphatically that the middle west is disgusted with the squabbling in Mexico, particularly now that the national guadrsmen have lx on hauled down to the border in day coaches to do rotih- . ing. —.—— —— - “Indiana is going for Hughes by 50,000 majority,” Henry Lane Wilson said. “1 have tics for thirty yearAand I never saw republican sentiment so strong. We will elect two republican senators.and eight republican congressmen out of thirteen.”

J. Frank Hanly Selected To Lead the Prohibitionists.

The prohibition national convention which has been in session atSt. Paul since Tuesday, adjourned Friday after nominating J. Frank Hanly, former governor of Indiana, as candidate for the presidency of the United States. Dr. Ira D. Landrith, of Tennessee, was nominated candidate for vice-president. iMr, Hanley’s nomination came on the first ballot and followed a number of hurried conferences between advocates of the candidacy of William Sulzer, former governor of New York, and several brief demonstrations -n the latter’s behalf, which, however, were offset by the outbursts of enthusiasm that followed every mention of Mr. Hanley’s name.

The vote for Mr. Hanley was decisive. He received 440 votes as against 181 for Sulzer. Finly C. Hendrickson,, of Maryland, received 51 votes, James Gilbert Mason, of New Jersey, 10; W. P. F. Ferguson, of Pennsylvania, 4; Sumner W. Haynes, of Indiana, 2, and Henry Ford, of Detroit, 1.

Co. M Members Wants to Know What Become of Money.

7 The current issue of the Jasper County Democrat states that it is in receipt of a letter from a member of Company M, now stationed at Mercedes, Texas, inquiring as to what' disposition has been made of the money which was raised by Rens-, selaer citizens for them, to give them luxuries at their camp that they otherwise might not have had. The letter was unsigned, according to The Democrat. The'letter follows:

Llano, Texas, July 17, 1916. Dear Editor: Co. M, 162nd Ind. Inf., is sending you this note to be printed in your paper: We, the boys of Company M, wish to thank the people of Rensselaer for their patriotism aryl their liberal donations, but we have seen but two dinners where we have had anything extra, and over $250.00 has been used. So we would very much appreciate if the people of Rensselaer would make inquiries and find out whht has been done with the iponey given the company.

Hoping this finds you people all well, we will only add that the weather is awful warm and the water is almost undrinkable when we can get it, and we have only the tiny tents which we carry. But it is only part of our regiment that have to put up with these conditions. These tents are close to the ground and very hot, but Co. M is a hardy lot of boys and only a few of us have been sick.

Co. M, 162 Ind. Inf., Llano Grande, Texas. Parts of the letter were censored by The Democrat, which states that the letter can bi taken for what it is worth. Inquiry at the First National Bank, where the money was deposited in the name of Company M, shows that a total deposit of $302.36 was made by the committee in charge of the fund. To date there has been withdrawn $231.50, leaving- a balance to the credit of Company M of $70.81, which would mean that something between three and four dollars has been expended on each member of the company, as there are seventy or more in th company.

The Republican is ihclinod to believe that the writer, whoever he may be, is wrong in believing that the money has not been properly expended, and expected too much for his share. It is not surprising that someone has a kick to make, as it is generally the rule with a public fund that someone finds fault with the disbursement of said fund. First Lieutenant Gariiand and Capt. H. B. Tuteur have had charge of .the money and we believe that the money has been properly expended in such a way that each and every member would derive the greatest benefit possible therefrom.

Naval Bill is Passed In Senate 69 to 8.

The naval appropriation bill, with a three-year building program, including the immediate ’ construction of four dreadnaughts, four great battle cruisers and fifty-eight other craft, passed the senate late Friday by a vote of 68 to 8. It carries $315,826,843, or $450,857,588 more than the measure passed by the house. Many proposals to curtail the enormous buildiryj increases written in the measure by the senate naval committee were defeated overwhelmingly and as soon as the final passage was announced the senate voted to insist .on the amendments and send the bill at once to conference. The house is expected to insist upon its building program and' a long struggle is in prospect before agreement i® reached. A seven-hour speech by Senator LaFollette against the measure and a clash between Senators Reed and Oliver over the proposal to print as a public document the Bethlehem Steel Company’s argument against a government armor plate plant, delayed the final vote.

Wrestling Bill at the Ellis Theatre Tonight.

There wall be a wrestling 'bill at the Ellis theatre this evening. Perry Marlow, a clever wrestler from Watseka, 111., wall meet Nat Welsh, of Rensselaer, in the windup. Both boys are in good condition and a good match is expected. There will. also be a preliminary . between Austin Iliff and Fred Goodrich, both from near Rensselaer. The matches will start promptly at 8 o’clock.

CLEAR SKIN COMES FROM WITHIN.

It is foolish to think you can gain a good clear complexion by the use of face powder. Get at the root of the truble and thoroughly cleanse the system with a treatment of Dr. King’s New Life Pills. Gentle and mild in action, do not gripe, yet they relieve the liver by their action on the bowels. Good for young, adults and aged. Go after a clear complexion today. 25c, at your druggist.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, JULY 22, 1916.

Here In Interest of Stallion Enrollment Law.

C. W. Hickman, Jr, has been in the county this week as a representative of the Indiana Stallion Enrollment Board. An act passed in 1913 makes it unlawful to offer or use for public service any stallion or jack not enrolled by said board. The board verifies pedigrees or certificates of registry, inspects certificates of soundness of stallions for which enrollment is sought. Having done so the bdhrtT issues a certificate setting forth clearly the breeding and spundnew of said stallion. The owner is required to have posted outside the bam where his stallion is kept and also upon the stall a porter which will give exactly the same information as is upon the certificate of enrollment. This is a big measure of protection to the mare owner. ‘

The Indiana ' Stallion Enrollment law contains as strong a lien clause as has ever been enacted. By complying with the law and all its requirements the stallion owner has absolute protection against sale of the mare without his written consent. He has an absolute lien upon the offspring which may be sold if necessary to pay the service fee. Should any man sell a mare without obtaining the written consent of the owner of the stallion the service fee immediately becomes due. Furthermore it is a criminal offense and the man making the sale is liable to fine dr imprisonment. . . ■ OS

Should the stallion owner not secure enrollment or should he in any way violate the law in his advertising or otherwise it is not required that the mare owner pay the service fee because the lien clause begins with the words: “Having complied with the provisions of this act,” There are very severe penalties for violation of this act. There is provided for each offense a fine of from $lO to S2OO or imprisonment not to exceed sixty days. Mr. Hickman informs us that the law is intended primarily to aid in horse improvement. Twenty other states now have enrollment laws similar to the one in force in Indiana. It is very much in favor over the state. Benefits are seen everywhere. He says that the outlook for good horses is splendid. Our state should produce the best horses and mules in the world.

City Council Communicating With Dealers In Street Name Signs.

The city council has been communicating with several dealers in street name signs and numbers lately, and are planning to have the residence and business districts numbered as soon as possible in order that Rensselaer may have free mail delivery. A postoffice inspector was here some time ago, and stated at that time that as soon as the city complied with the free delivery order, of having the streets and house numbering done, Rensselaer could have free mail service. v . Many people have inquired lately why nothing has been done so far toward complying with the pastoffice regulations. There has been something done and it was done immediately after the visit of the postoffice official here. We were informed by a member of the city council today that the council has been busy communicating with several different street name sign firms and are getting samples in order to select what they think are the best signs, at the lowest possible cost and as soon as a decision is reached that the numering of the residence and business streets will commence.

INDIANA SOLDIERS SIGH FOR PAY DAY

Must Wait Until August 12 Unless Kind Friends Provide Ice Cream Money in Meantime.

Tex., July 21".—Another chdnge has been made in the camp commander. Brigadier-General Plummer was transferred to the Nogales district and Brigadier-General Lewis again became the supreme commander of Llano z Grande. It is understood that Gen. Lewis will remain in command until a major-general arrives. General Plummer leaves Friday for his new post. As far as thd Indiana soldiers are concerned Llano Grande camp is a “busted” community.

“When are we going to get any money?” is a question that has given way to the question, “How long will we be here?” and no one can answer either question.* The army pay day is about the 12th of the month, and unless a paymaster shows up in the meantime it is probable that the Indiana troops will get no money until August 12. There was money due them before they left Indianapolis, but they did net get it and consequently a large number of Indianians are flat broke and many have written back home for coin. The higher officers have no trouble in getting checks cashed at the Mercedes banks, but the privates and many of the noncommissioned officers who have no bank accounts back home have to go without money or share with some more fortunate comrade. The merchants of Mercedes and the various exchanges at the camp extend credit whenever the man looks right, but the credit is exhausted after a while. Complaints among the enlisted men are numerous and a great many married men are asking that they be sent back There is no need of explaining why the men need money. A great many things are supplied by the government, but Uncle Sam does not supply anyluxuries.

Here is an illustration of the need of money. A tall rookie in the Terre Haute company stood looking in a drug store where three clerks were dishing out ice cream and soda as fast as their hands would work. “I certainly would like to have some of that ice cream,” the rookie remarked, with a catch in his voice. „A man who overheard the complaint uttered, said, “Why don’t you get some? It’s cheap.” “Stranger,” the rookie said sadly, “If I could buy that whole drug store for two bits, I haven’t enough to pay for the keyhole in the door.” The stranger advanced 50 cents and the rookie spent it all for ice cream cones and a package of cigarettes. It’s awfully nice in the folk back home to send the soldier boys embroidered handkerchiefs and tooth brushes and holders, but just ease it to the office and slip them a couple of until pay day. That’s what will make a hit down here just now.

Raymond Aiken, first lieutenant in ambulance company No. 1, of Frank-' fori;, whose home is at Bloomington, is suffering from a mild case of appendicitis. It is not believed that an operation will be necessary. Since two men have lost their lives in Llano Grande lake, life guards have been established and nto bathing is permitted after dark. There was great rejoicing in the Indiana camp last evening when the water was turned on. There has been a great dfeal of trouble from lack of water, but now all is well.

Monon Sent Out Its First Blackberry Train.

Monticello Journal. A train on the Monon, run from Floyd county to Chicago, was an innovation in railroad transportation for tiw.t line. The Monon has frequently *"run strawberry' trains, but never before a blackberry tram. The berries were shipped and veached Water street in Chicago Wednesday morning in fine fihape. The blackberry chop in southern Indiana is said to be the largest this year ever known, and profiatble figures are being received 'for them by shipping to the Chicago market.

Fifty Clowns Are Carried With Hagenbeck-Wallace Circus.

The modem clown is a paradox. He is the same as in the days of Dan Rice, way back in the last century, and yet he is a different clown. The same in that he paints his face in vermilion and white, and adheres to the time-honored patteam in his dress; different because of the fact that his work today is practically all pantomime, whereas that of the ancient clown used to be composed of singing, reciting and telling jokes, at which time no other act worked in the big show. In the shifting scenes of time the country became more populated. The circus proprietor enlarged the tent. Then rings were added with a couple of stages and an enormous hippodrome track. Aots were placed in these rings. The clown found that he could not make his voice heard in so large an area, so he resorted to pantomime or dumb acting. The modernday clown does a work, yet he is one of the most pleasing features of the big show. There are more than fifty clowns with the arl Ha genbeck- Wall ace Circus. There are clowns with one, two and three humps. There are clowns who impersonate policemen, prize fighters, baseball players, farmers, etc. There are six French clowns, headed by Carceline St. Varain and Art Adair. The Carl HagenbeckWallaee Circus wall give two performances in Rensselaer on Saturday, ‘ Aug. sth.

Dr. Leslie Sharrer will be in my office every afternoon from 1 until 4 o’clock and can be called at any other time of day or night by calling 211. Dr. C. E. Johnson.
