A GOOD DAY’S WORK.

‘ Indiana Republicans made a very creditable showing in their state convention yesterday. Although there was plenty of partisan “pep,” this did not transcend the bounds of propriety, and probably went no farther in the political appeal than the Democrats will dp when their turn .comes. -* The truth is that the party is divided on the question of criticism. Some are for a much more savage line of attack upon the Federal administration than seems wise to others, and as a matter of fact nobody knows which side is right, particularly as a choice of policy in going before the people. We can tell better about this as the campaign wears on.- Throwing bricks at the pilot house is always dangerous, both in its effect on the war and in the reaction from the people. Yet we all know that the Democrats, under the* President’s leadership, are capitalizing the war for all it is worth for partisan purposes. Their general idea is that we must all vote the Democratic ticket or be branded as slackers or traitors. This -is enough to make the blood of any honest man boil with indignation, as Senator New’s does, but it is perfectly clear, on the other hand, that the Republicans will be quite as alert on either side. It is great pity that President Wilson accentuates the party aspect of the war so strenuously, for it encourages the unreasoning element Of his party to say and do some very ridiculous things. Fortunately, the sound judgment of the American people and above all the saving sense of humor will enable the voters to For every Republican who carries separate the wheat from the chaff, partisan criticism to an offensive dangerous extreme, there will 'be some equally demented Democrats, calling down maledictions upon any who have the reasonable inclination to vote the Republican ticket. Yesterday’s speeches were above the average in tone and effectiveness, and the platform correctly represents the best Republican feeling of loyalty and determination to win the war and accept no compromise with the military masters of Germany. When we reflect upon the pacifist advisers that surround the President, it is easy to fancy that right here may prove to be the great work of the Republican party when the end of the war draws near. It may take a lot of resolution to keep the administration from making peace before Germany has been made incapable of bringing another war like this upon the world. Many things may happen before November, however, to change very materially all the aspects of the political situation. It seems clear that the period of delay and inefficiency is passing into one of marvelous productive development. Most of the things complained of have been corrected. By fall, we may all be thinking of something else than the mistakes of Baker and Creel. It is impossible to predict with safety much\of anything about the drift of politics three or four months hence, especially if our homes should be darkened with heavy casualties. The wise plan is not to get unnecessarily excited and try to fix the battle ground so far in advance. With a good ticket and a formidable array of fighting men, the Republicans can afford to await the developments with patience and confidence.— Indianapolis Star.

After his discharge from the army he returned to Kankakee county, Illinois, where he engaged in farming until 1870 when he moved to Jasper county, Indiana, and for forty-five years was one of the progressive and successful farmers of Carpenter township. Mr. Bellows was married to Miss Jeanette Dunbar, of Ottawa, Illinois, Sept. 21, 1876 and to this union was born two children, Mary Melissa, now Mrs. Charles Murphy, of Rensselaer and Edward who lives in Remington, Indiana.

REPUBLICANS URGE IMMEDIATE PASSAGE

Indianapolis, May 29.—“ The Republican party of Indiana reaffirms its declaration for equal suffrage; it urges the immediate passage of the federal amendment by the United States Senate and its ratification by the state and commends our senators and representatives in congress for their support for the measure.” Such was the text of a resolution passed by the Republican State Convention in session in Indianapolis, May 28th and 29th. Representatives from the Woman’s Franchise League of Indiana interviewed all the districts in advance of the meeting of the resolutions committee and were delighted to know that the resolution passed the committee unanimously. Both Senator New and Senator Watson, were in attendance at the convention and reaffirmed their intention of voting for the amendment when it shall be brought to vote in the senate. In his key-note speech before the convention Governor Goodrich said: “The question of equal suffrage has disturbed American politics for the past twenty years, and the women of America are insisting that the denial of them of the right of suffrage upon an equal basis with men is contrary to the spirit of our American institutions. ’ “The solution of this question is a matter for. the nation. I believe that the amendment now pending in the Senate of the United States granting equal suffrage woman should be passed and the question submitted to the several states for their consideration. “The approval of the amendment is an act of tardy justice to American womanhood and a fair and just recognition of the loyalty, devotion, and self-sacrifice with which the American woman have supported this war in their homes, in the factories, in the great war charities, and on the fighting front, and I heartily approve the action of our Senators and Republican members of Congress in support of the resolution pending in the Senate.”

SOLDIER SON TO MOTHER.

A “Mothers’ day” letter from Private Ray C. Arnott, battery F, 146th field artillery, has been received by his parents, Mt. and Mrs. Frank Arnott, 5124 Ray street, Spokane. The letter to his mother is dated, “Somewhere in France, April 13,” and the writer couches his sentiments in verse as follows: I saw a sign at the Y. M. C. A. As I strolled about the room, Which read, “May 12 is Mother’s Day, You should start a letter home.” On the sign board was a drawing. Of a lad beside a gun, And of a gray-haired mother, Thinking of her soldier son. Thinking of her,son and praying That the war will quickly cease, That the sun will rise tomorrow On the dawn of lasting peace. She has given him up proudly, That the world may be set ‘free From the menace of a “despot,” Who would crush all liberty. Yes, she gives him up proudly. And she gives him with a smile, Yet beneath, and near the surface, Tears are trembling all the while. But she is thinking of a danger, Greater than the rifle shot, The danger that he’ll form a habit Of blasphemous cursing or become a drunken sot. Ah! well I know, dear mother, that you Would rather see me 'neath the sod, Than to know that I had drifted Away from your teachings and from God.

But for me you need not tremble, For I begin my work each day With a firm determination to return To you as “clean” as when I went away, ( I write you this (though I feel you know it), And I will send it on it’s way At this early date that it may reach you By the annual “Mothers’ Day.” But why “Mother?’ Day” comes once each year Is more than I can see, For I am very sure that every day Is mother’s day for me. In a short note to his father he says: “Dear Dad—There is very little that is new that I can write. We have been having a little target practice and did very well. If the Huns had been where our shells landed there would be a few dead ones. It is very, very interesting and is a wonderful experience for me. As a whole, however, I can not say that it appeals to me. I prefer the constructive rather than the destructive. But am doing my best. Never felt better in my life.” Ray C. Arnott is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Arnott, who formerly lived at McCoysburg. He- is a brother of Mrs. William Whitaker, Fred and Arthur Arnott and a brother-in-law of Mrs. William Arnott, all of this county.

Proper Food for Weak Stomachs. The proper food for one man may be all wrong for another. Every one should adopt a diet suited to his age and occupation. Those who have weak stomachs need to be especially careful and should eat slowly and masticate their food thoroughly. It is also important that they keep their bowels regular. When they become constipated or when they feel dull and stupid after eating, they should take Chamberlain’s Tablets to strengthen the stomach and move the bowels. They are easy to take and pleasant in effect. C. ATTENTION VAN RENSSELAER CLUB. On and after Sunday, June Second, the doors of the Van Rensselaer dub rooms will be closed.
