CANDIDATE SIMPKINS VISITS US

Hon. W. D. Simpkins, of Boswell, Benton county, who is a candidate for representative in the lower house of the Indiana general assembly, wai in Rensselaer Monday. For this important office to succeed our fellow townsman, W. L. Wood, there are four candidates, three from Newton county and one from Benton. Mr. Simpkins has the advantage of having no opposition in his own county and this fact may make him the nominee. If it does, the Republicans will have a most excellent candidate. He is a native Hoosier, was born in Warren county and has spent the most of his life in Benton county. For thirty-nine years he has been in business in Boswell. He is a druggist, a banker, a farmer and a live-stock man. His successful business career and his standing as a citizen in the community in which he has spent his whole life are evidences of the fact that he would make a capable, efficient and honest legislator. He is a staunch Republican. Has served his county as chairman of the Republican" central committee. He is proud of the fact that he was a delegate to the judicial convention which placed the name of the Hon. Edwin P. Hammond on the Republican ticket as their candidate for judge of the circuit then composed of Benton, Newton and Jasper counties. While Mr. Simpkins has always been active in politics, he has not been an office seeker. He did serve the people of his township as trustee, a fact that will assist him very materially should he be nominated and elected as a law maker.

STANDS FOR SMALL ARMY

LEONARD WOOD NOT A MILITARIST BUT A TRUE „ AMERICAN. ■ ■ . Newark, 0., April 28.—Leonard Wood answered the attacks being made by the opposition with reference to his military policy. The reply was brought out by- the newspaper advertising in the Marietta newspapers by William Harrington, chairman of the Washington County Harding Club. The advertisement said: “That if he were President he would fasten upon the nation an intolerable military machine—-and that if you would keep your boy in civil life, vote for Harding. If you would dress your boy in khaki and have him carry a gun, vote otherwise. Harte la Wood’s Answer. Wood’s answer made at Zanesville is as follows: “The statement that I stand for everything that represents militarism is untrue. There is no one living in America today who is more opposed to militarism than I am. Statements to the contrary are given out with the deliberate purpose of misrepresenting the situation and creating an entirely false impression. “I stand for a small army—much smaller than that recommended by the present administration and smaller than that authorized by the senate. There is no occasion whatever at the present time, as I see it, for a large standing army. An army of 200,000 men would be ample for all pdace needs of the nation. I have always stood for reasonable preparation. If we had had such preparation the chances are there would have been no world’s war. For Period of Training. “I have advocated a short period of intensive training, a period some time between the eighteenth apd twenty-first year, to be taken in the year most convenient to the boy. Such training should combine military, industrial, and vocational training. This is a matter which must be taken up and decided by the people through congress. Personally I believe our people can safely be guided in -this matter by the opinion of the ex-service men. “No one is more anxious to return this nation to a peace basis than I, and no one is more opposed than I to affix upon the intolerable military machine. Statements of this kind are deliberately false, misleading, and vicious.”

WASHINGTON NEWS.

Washington, D. C. April 25. America has been left in the rear of the procession in the development of military and commercial aircraft. The government is doing nothing to promote commercial flying and has been outdistanced in the development of military aircraft. 0— The allies have yielded to the president on the settlement of the Adriatic question, Democratic. senators hope that Mr. Wilson will resubmit the German peace treaty to the senate with suggestions of a compromise on reservations. , • —e — Samuel Gompers fears that government officials are being made the pawns of predatory interests who seek .to bring about American intervention in Mexico to serve their own ends, under the cloak of a movement to establish order’ and prosperity in that country as we aid in Cuba. —o — Increasing evidence that the popular issue is reduction of taxation and strict economy in governmental expenses is seen in thousands off telegrams And letters received by members of congress. —c — The actual ratio of cost in the collection at the income tax is less than 58 cents for every SIOO collected, according to the bureau of internal revenue. Total collections for the year amounted to $8350,150,078, and total expenditures to $20,573,771.

ST. JOE VARSITY WALLOPED CHICAGO AGGREGATION

Captarin Maloney and his mates of the St. Joseph college baseball team smothered the Chicago Rainbows under a shower of base hits at the college grounds Sunday afternoon, winning under wraps, 14 to 4. The contest was one-sided and uninteresting. The visitors .carried with them that don’t care manner which is usually the case with clubs secured from Chicago, who come more for the train ride than anything else. The Chicagoans were full of boots, bulls and blunders, their infield resembled a sieve and the outfield appeared as if they were just recovering from the sleeping sickness. Their pitchers did fairly well but were not strong enough to overcome the weakness behind them. Fehrenbacher was on the rubber for the collegians and toyed with the visitors, never once exerting himself. His mates were full of chatter and gave him sterling support at all times. Wellman featured the game with a one-handed catch. of a drive which seemed slated to draw up alongside the gymnasium in the opening stanza. The big outfielder also gathered two lusty base knocks which sent three runs across. Rose at third, Maloney at second and O’Mara at short presented a tight inner works. St. Joseph gathered two runs in the first on the pitcher’s errors and the Rainbows scored once in the second. In the fourth the home gang packed the bases with none gone and then proceeded to cross the plate four times on walks and weak infield taps which the Rainbow infield kicked in a ridiculous manner. Four more came for the Red and Purple in the fifth, and during the later innings the score was sent to fourteen. When Fehrenbacher eased up toward the close, the visitors manufactured three more runs.

.St. Joe is represented by a rather strong club this year and have a heavy schedule with stronger nines than the one which appeared Sunday, and will doubtless have a large following during the remainder of the schedule.
