DR. RUE PARCELS MAKES BIG HIT

FORMER RENSSELAER YOUNG MAN ENTERTAINS FELLOW ROTARIANS. Dr. Rue Parcels, son oi Mr. and Mrs, E. M. Parcels, of this city, like other Rensselaer young men, is making good.- The following article appeared in the Amarillo, Texas, Wheels, the organ of the Rotary club, of that city: ' . „ . “Forward the Toothbrush BnSade,” was considerably more than a tugh when Rue Parcels got through with his most entertaining talk last week on what dentists used to do and what they are doing now. During these food campaigns we* have sometimes quoted Napoleon in saying that an army marches and fights on its stomach. But one of the things which Napoleon overlooked —there were several —was the fact that an army is no better than its teeth. Uncle Sam did not overlook that an army is no better than its teeth. Uncle Sam did not overlook that or anything else that we can think of just now. Therefore one of the first things the United States did wa sto increase its service

of dental surgery to an extent never before known in army history. And if you think that he planned for any of the dental recruits to have a soft snap, just remember that Rue Parcells told about helping the first dental officers at his camp examine 28,000 men with only two or three available sets of field dental equipment to utilize for the necessary repairs. Of course, plenty of the necessary equipintent -came on pretty soon and now American troops at homo or overseas, well or wounded, have quickly the skilled help of American x dentists, those surgical specialists who have made dentistry one of Americas greatest contributions to the well being of the world. Rue Parcells was one of the first volunteers for the dental service when

ST. AUGUSTINE CHURCH NOTES

Friday and Saturday of this week the faithful will observe the feasts of All iSaints and all Souls. The church pays, day *>y day, a special veneration to some of the holy men and women who have helped to establish it by their blood, developed it by their labors, or edified it by their virtue. But on the feast of All Saints the church pays this veneration to all Saints in heaven although their names may not be found in its catalog of saints. Followirfg it immediately is the great feast of All Souls. “Have pity on me, at least you, my friends,” is the call of the poor souls to us from the place of expiation. It is a matter of faith with Catholics that these suffering souls are relieved by the intercession of the saints in heaven and by the prayers of the faithful on earth. , . Thursday iA the vigil of All Saints, a day of fast and absineqee. Friday, being the feast of All Saints, a day of obligation, the Friday abstinence law does not hold. Catholics there may partake of flesh meat on this dayr- If the Health authorities decide to life the ban on church service ..before Friday the following will be the order of services: First mas at 7 :30. High mass at 10. The afternoon services will be held at the cemetery. Saturday services •will ibe annoiiiiced on Friday.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, WEDNESDAY, OCT. 30, 1918.

PRESENTED FOR YOUR APPROVAL

REPUBLICANS PROUD TO PRESENT THEIR CANDIDATES . • • FOR OFFICE.

Tuesday, November 5, the voters of I Jasper county will be called upon to select a number of men for public office. The following are presented by the Republican party. A number of these men are now in office and their efficiency is well known. That they will be asked to continue in the positions now entrusted to them there can be no doubt. Hon. William R. Wood, of Lafay- .-j ette, our representative in the national house of representatives, has proven himself to be a real servant of Ins people and he will receive the solid Republican vote of this county. He has been so faithful to the duties of his office that many .Democrats feel it their duty to cast their vote for him also. He is not a rubber stamp, but is a live wire, active, efficient, thoroughly loyal, straightforward and ready at ; all times to render the very best ser- , vice possible to his people regardless of party. His continued service is a i matter of great importance to the people of ten Indiana congressional i district and his broad statesmanship make him a most valuable man to this , country in matters of national import- | ance. Will Brown, of Hebron, our canda-' i date, for state senator, is eminently ] qualified for the position to which i he aspires. He is possessed with a i clean character and splendid ability, i Where best known he will receive ] the strongest endorsement from the • members of both parties. He is an i ideal candidate and is a sure winner, i W. L. Wood, of Parr, the Republican candidate for joint representative, i has done his work so well in the Xndi- i ana house of representatives, that he i is sure of the solid Republican vote 1 and also a very large number of votes i from the opposite party. No man in : the Indiana state legislature has been ] more faithful to his home people and i also the best interests of this great i commonwealth. Recognition of honest, efficient service assures his re- • election as our member of that important law-making body. J. C. Murphey, of Morocco, is the I Republican nominee for the important office of prosecuting attorney. He is qualified in every particular . for this important work. He is from our neighboring county and deserves the splendid support that the people of that county always give to candi- i dates from this county. Our candidate for clerk of the circuit court is Jesse Nichols. It is the unanimous verdict of all who have business connected with this office that the duties of the county clerk were never better administered. Mr. Nichol s is courteous, painstaking, efficient and constantly at his post of duty. His duties as a county official and as a member of the conscription board have 'been straightforward, clean, open and above board. Not a single act of his can be pointed out that does not square absolutely. Schuyler C. Robinson, of Gillam township, is the embodiment of qualifications for the important office of county auditor. He has a splendid ' college training and is a man cap- ‘ able of handling successfully large ‘ business matters. He is a member of J one of the best families that have * long brought honor to this county. F Those who know him regardless of r party are pleased to give him their ’ hearty support. His election mpaqs a " continuation of the splendid service " in this most important office. 1 John T. Biggs, of Wheatfield, the B Republican candidate for county treasurer, has no opposition. This is - a fitting tribute to the man and also to the loyalty and devotion of Wheat- !■ field and Wheatfield township. For sheriff our candidate is True D. [ Woodworth. True is capable of giv- ; ing this office the very best of ser- > vice. He is a young man, full of I energy, and will give to his official ! duties his entire time and attention. ! He will personally conduct the office. ! He bears an enviable reputation for E lbe strictest honesty, and faithfulness to every trust. He is a member of the ; Liberty Guard and for a number of 1 years was a member of the miKtia • company of this city! He is making a ' very great sacrifice in his devotion to ! his duties as a member of the Liberty ! Guard organization. Willis J.. Wright, our candidate for ; coroner, is all right. The people di' ;■ the county are fortunate to have the ; offer of the splendid service of this i efficient business man. > Edgar D. Nesbitt, Republican eani didate for county surveyor, has shown ! by his splendid service that he is the ; man for the place. Democrats an< Republicans recognize this and he is unopposed for re-election. G. L. Thornton, Republican candi- ! date for county assessor, is no experi- ! ment. He was placed upon the ticket ! for this office because of his ability L and his faithfulness in the discharge ►of hi s duties. He is careful and straightforward in his private business affairs and that same strict integrity ' is manifested in the discharge of his 1 public service. For county commissioner of the T first district the Republicans present [ the name of Bert Amsler, of Marion ; township. He is a decided success in ' his own business affairs. He is self reliant and wiH not be wish-washy and

NEW YORK WORLD AGAINST WILSON

LEADING DEMOCRATIC PAPERS CRITICISE PRESIDENT’S PARTISAN PLEA.

The New York World, most powerful Democratic newspaper in the United States, in an editorial frankly admitted that President Wilson’s action in appealing for a Democratic congress was a mistake. “It is not surprising that Republicans vigorously criticise the President’s appeal for the election of a Democratic congress,” says the World. “His argument is powerful in all its bearings, but he is hot the man who should have made it Others have said in his behalf all that he now says for himself in an unexampled way, and, we believe, with much greater probability of influencing public thought in the right direction. It is one thing for orators and newspapers to say in time of war that the result of an election may be construed as a repudiation of the President. ' It is something emphatically different when the President himself so pronounces it.”. • The New York Times, independent, seriously questions the wisdom of the President’s statement. The (Times supported President Wilson in 1916. The other New York papers, including the Sun, Tribune and Herald, flay the statement from al Jangles. Cincinnati Enquirer We are strongly, enthusiastically, consistently for the loyal support of the present administration. We believe that an honest difference of opinion, represented either by individuals or great political parties, is, has been and always will continue to be the saving grace of this nation. We are firmly convinced, that when any grave question arises which involves patriotism, selfish partisan feeling will always be swept aside by the American people, as it has been during the war, and a solid front presente dto any and ever yenemy. President Wilson’s plea for support of the candidates of his party as a pledge of support of 'himself is ill-timed and ill-advised, if, indeed, advice was asked or received. AH America is supporting the administration regardless of politics. We believe that such support will still be accorded the President the outcome of the Whether they are .Democrats or Rpublicans, we believe in placing Americans and Americans only on guard. That is the test that should be applied to every man’s candidacy.

wabbling in his discharge of his duties as commissioner. While a staunch Republican he will not exercise partisanism in the discharge of his official duties. The business interest of the county will be carefully looked after by Mr. Amsler. Efficient and faithful service mWre It imperative that Charles A. Welch continue as commissioner from the third district No public official has ever given to this county better service than Mr. Welch. Mr. Welch has the confidence and is sure not only of the support of the Republicans hut also of a very large per cent of the Democrats, of the county. The prejrent county council consisting of the following, H. George W. May, Elmer E - M. Hart, T. J. Prouty, Wadftpgton Cook and Wester Bowdy, tove been placed upon the Republican ticket for re-election. Their eb&ty, unffiiM*ing honesty recommend that they be continued to be entrusted to supervise the county expenditures. Care was taken to place upon the Republican township tickets men of sterling worth, strict honesty and business .ability. They one and all deserve the united support of > united party. The entire state, district, county and township Republican tickets have been selected with one idea in mind, and that is to select those “who can best serve.” Every Republican may be justly proud m the fact that he can best serve his own and his a STRAIGHT REPUBLICAN TICKET.

WILSON ON EXECUTIVE’S CONDUCT

From “Constitutional Government of the United States,” by Woodrow Wilson, now President of the United States, published in 1908 and reprinted in 1911 and 1918, page 71, is taken the following: “There are illegitimate means by Which the President may influence the action of Congress. He may bargain with members not-only with regard to appointments but also with regard to legislative measures. He may use his local patronage to assist members to get or retain their seats. He may interpose his powerful influence, in one covert way or another, in contests for places in the Senate. He may also overbear Congress by arbitrary acts which ignore the laws or virtually override them. He may even substitute his own orders for acts of Congress which he wants but can not get. Such things are not only deeply immoral, they are destructive of the fundamental understandings of constitutional government, and, therefore, of constitutional government itself. They are sure, otoregreft te a country of free puMic opinion, to bring their own punishment, to destroy both the fame and the power of th? man who dares to practice them.

STATEMENT IS MADE BY DAN HARTNETT

Dan Hartnett, who rode on the train on which Eari Hughes, the Monon brakeman whose mangled body was found on -the Monon near Pleasant Ridge Friday morning, was employed the night Hughes lost his life, has made the following statement to the Lafayette Journal: “I have never made the statement that Conductr Fred Ball Brakeman Hughes off the train. He must have rtarte dover the top and fell down* between the cars oj he might have been jerked off the rear end of the caboose.”

Charlie Otterhwg, who reme homie from Camp Taylor on a 30-day furlough, has discarded h» umfonn and donned citizen’s clothes, having been discharged from the service on account of defective teeth.

SPITLER LEITER IS COMMENDED

COL. E. F. HAMMOND ENDORSES MAYOR’S ANSWER TO HERSHMAN. I 8 I mmThe following letters written by Col. E. P Hammond, of Lafayette, to Charles G. Spitler, in reference to the latter’s reply to the Hershman letter are self explanatory: Lafayette, Indiana, October 25, 1918. Dear Charley:— I have read with pleasure Hershman’s fetter to you and your reply thereto. You certainly give him what he deserves. The truth is the Republican party is, as it has always been in time of war, the only genuine war party. It seems that since the elections in Maine and Wisconsin the President has to some extent adjourned politics. The Democrats are trying to succeed by skulking tn the President’s shadow. I congratulate you on your able response to Hershmsan’s letter. Very truly, E. P. HAMMOND. Lafayette, Indiana, October -28, 1918. Dear Charley:— Thanks for your letter of the 26th inst., just received. If my letter to you will be of any probable benefit you are at liberty to have it published. In publishing it, however, it should be noted that it as well as your letter to Hershman was written before the President’s appeal to elect Democratic congressmen. Had it not been for the almost unanimous support of Republicans in Mid out of cohgress, the war on the part of the United States would be a complete failure. The President’s appeal to elect Democrats without regard to whether they have or have not supported the war in measures is a direct and premeditated insult to every Republican in the United States. It is an insult to the Republicans in congress who have so loyally supportted all of his war measures, ana who wiH continue to do so notwithstanding to every Republican man and woman who has a son or brother who has has sacrificed his life, or is exposing his life on the battle fields against Germany. It is an insult to every Republican man, woman or child who lias furnished his and her money without stint to support this war. If the Republicans will turn out and vote on Tuesday of next week, these insults wiH properly be resented by electing Republican congressmen. I feel assured that this will be the result; but whatever the result may be the Republican party will continue to support all war measures having in view the unconditional surrender of Germany. Very truly yours, E. P. HAMMOND.
