itliat neither sidi 1 states facts. They tire campaign statements, unproved, | improvable, it simply shows the lack of purity and honesty iti American polities that such things inn exist. Let decent men cease this form of campaigning. Thus the Indianapolis Star, when Marshall delivered his Richmond speech, declared that he was a “man of such fiber that no one should be ought hut pleased to see him sit four years in the executive chair.” Now it denounces him. for polilical purposes and for cash, as a very rascal. Should he he elected we shall hear from that same organ praise of the character of Marshall. It is time that, as American voters, ewe rise above such thing!*.

Why, if the Republicans at" getting no money for corrupt purposes, as they claim, should they not make public the contributions bofo " the election. Why endure all tit ■ suspicion and be the butt of new-paper attack when nothing L; to lie gained^ Is it another case of refusing to do the tiling because the other party started it?

It is a little ludicrous to hear men who have just bet all their spare ••ash and whose noses are red from potations other than water arguing Watson’s morality as a i .unpa’gn a set. Evidently the reform hou se,] of does not extend beyond (he political situation.

POLITICAL SLANDERS, The present campaign will pass down in history as the most virulent and personal since the ClevelandBlain campaign. Especially in Indiana lias the campaign for governor become a stencil in the nostrils of decent men. Some persons, posing as moral reformers, have stooped to the lowest depths of slander and falsehood in insinuations against Marshall. Others have raked over the ord of Wateon’s life, exagg< rated what was found there, and given to the world a slanderous estimate of the man. Marshall is accused by Manly of being for the saloons, and the declaration Is denied by Marshall, whose reputation for veracity is at least equal to that of Manly, and possibly superior when it comes to politics We are told that all the evil forc< ;u • seeking to elect Marshall, a still ni ct not proved beyond the fact that V itson stated it upon the stump. \., i in is accused of having gone to the s loon keepers in many eonniles and assurred them that if they will support the Republican

Marshall and His Church. The following from the I “re >\terian Clergyman at Columbia City, Mr. Marshall's home, Is interesting to many who have given ear to some of the slanders going the rounds: “Columbia City, ind., Oct. lit. liios. ' .Mr. Frank W. Carr, Charleston, Ind “Dear Sir and Brother- Pardon me for my delay in answering your Inquiry. I am very glad to have the opportunity of telling you about Mr. Marshall, and I wish every elder who hears such reports won I 1 do likewise. “Mr. Marshall is a man• of unimpeachaible character in every respect. He is the foremost man in this town in a religious way, and both li “ and Ills wife are the chief pillars of support in our church, financially and spiritually. He has been a trustee since the church was organized, and is also a biblo class teacher, and is on the executive committee of the Presbyterian Brntherhood. II ■ is an ardent churchman, a true blue Presbyterian of the old-fashioned school. “Not only is he not a drunkard hut he is a total abstainer and has been for many years. No one here even dreams of Tom Marshall tasting liquor of any kind. His wife c our primary teacher in the Sunday School and our most capable workei in all the church and mission iy societies. She has always accompanied Mr. Marshall on ids law and hu dness trips as a matter of congeniality, for they have no children, and live by themselves. He could not make his campaign without her, for site is a great support physically and sympathetically. Any other motive for her traveling I wish, as their pastor, to brand as a malicious campaign lie. “Mr. Marshall's lirst hobby in life is the Presbyterian church, then the Democratic party, and he is in e very way worthy of the support and encouragement of church people, and especially those of his own lions >hold of faith. I wish you might in every way help to counteract those fake reports in your community. T have written very conservatively about him, and any other minister in town will confirm what I have said. Mr. Marshall lias always refused to become an elder. Anything you may see fit to do with the contents of this letter in the interest of Mr. Marshall you are at liberty to do. Fraternally, 'A. D. SUTHERL \ND.

ARE YOU GOING TO 8URRBNDER THE RIGHT TO CONTROL YOUR OWN GOVERNMENT? Do you want In the United States Liberty, or Coercion? Republic, or Empire? Democracy, or Autocracy? Preeident, or Crar? Governor, or Dictator? The Constitution, or One Man's Will? Shall there be In nation and state three departments of government, legislative executive and judicial, or only one, based on usurpation—whether by Roosevelt and Taft or Hanly and Watson? SHALL THE OCCUPANT OF THE WHITE HOUSE DICTATE HIS SUCCESSOR? Shall the People rule, or atiatl the Government be administered by and for the trust*, privileged olaaaee, special interests, officeholders and party favorites? Shall the eoeupant of the White House dictate his successor? Theodore Roosevelt, preeident ftret by tragedy and ne*t by false pretena®, haa thrown off the maak and revealed his true character. What at first were either excused as eccentricities or applauded aa hones* blunders, must, In the light of the president’s attitude in the present campaign, be looked upon as contemptuous disregard of the constitution, the laws, the institutions and traditions of the country and the people. Mr, Roosevelt assumed the right to make treaties without the consent of th4 senate. He has sent Taft, Root and other royal ambasaadoi-s abroad with imperial instructions. He connived at and afterward defended as an “accomplished fact" the spoliation of the Republic of Colombia. He rules foreign peoples as dependent subjects. He gave his consent to the absorption by that giant monopoly, the steel trust, of Its principal competitor, the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company, which had been first forced Into trouble by Wall street manipulation. He has publicly denounced abuses while secretly placing himself under obligations to those who are guilty of them. Under his administration trusts have multiplied, special interests have thrived, expenses have piled up, the burdens of the people have grown heavier, the cost of living has enormoualy Increased, and a panic has ocourrd which has produced idleness, impoverished thousands of business men and brought hunger Into hundreds of thousands of homes. AND YET MR. ROOSEVELT DEMANDS OF THE PEOPLE THAT THEY APPROVE H18 SELECTION AND ELECT WILLIAM H. TAFT A8 H18 SUCCESSOR. H* Is managing Taft’s campaign from the White House, using government clerks, paid by all the people, to convey his orders and commands to 300,000 other officeholders also paid by the people, and to all other pereona subject to his power or susceptible to his influence. It Is the purpose of Mr. Roosevelt to oontrol the presidential *ucoea*lon,-H poe aible. He declare* that he haebeen training Taft for seven years to take his piece. He dictated hie nomination, forcing It by using the power of hla offloe and In disregard of the laws regulating the civil service. Son-In-Law Lengworth, In a public speech, proclaimed the purpose of the new dynasty to be the election of Taft for eight years, Roosevelt again for eight yeans more, and dowmthe line. The present seortory of war, Luke B. Wright, In a speech In New York ea ©at. 19, resented the charge that Roosevelt Is only s “hired man,” and declared that he la “the chief ruler of the country." Senator Bsverldgs, In a speech In Kaneae City on ths seme date, said that '■thers is no longer a Democratic party—only the government and the oppoaitton,” a condition which exist* only In an autocracy like Ruaala. Two years ago Ellhu Root, Mr. Roosevelt’s secretary of state, proclaimed the new doctrine of “wiping out< state lines,” which would center all government power at Washington. Taft has knowledge of, la a part of and sympathize* with all these dangeroud tendenclea—these things which point to the overthrow of constitutional government and the eubversion of the liberties of the people. Under this order of thlnga-only favorites are to profit through tariffs, sufcaJdiea, apeoial privileges, offices—and private snaps like the Panama Canal swindle, wherein it la aaid Douglas Robinson, a brother-in-law of the president] Charlea P. Taft, a brother of Candidate Taft; Morgan, Cromwell, Sheldoa and other Taft-supporters,.flnanclers and speculators, pocketed more thaa $30,000,000 of (lllolt gain shoveled out of the United States treasury. THE REPUBLICAN PARTY HAS BEEN GUILTY OF THE RANKEST EXTRAVAGANCE AND WASTE. Ths expanses of the National Government hava more than doubled In ten yeeie and now reach a billion dollars a year. The expense* of the state office* have Increased more than 100 per oent In tha past twelve years. Hava all these million* of money taken from the people been honestly spent? Is there graft, crookedness and rascality in the state house? !■ there untold rottenness IntWashington? X 'Ll ' G How will you fever find out unless you vote for a change?

HEFTJBLICAN3 IiC '.. . tAi ALlTY be<-k to Destroy l*ol lie * onllflcnuo In Futile KfVorl lo ll«f<-»t Bryan. Facing inevitable fleli tit and with a full knowledge of the fact that Bryan's election is as certain as anything reasonably can lie in politics, the Republicans have been forced to resort to the last refuge of political cowards —to the calamity howl. They are now engaged in telling the country that panic and ruin will follow the election of Mr Bryan. Instead of being patri Otic citizens anxious to restore busi ness confidence a eontidence which has been lost under a Republican ad ministration—to subserve their own political selfish purposes they are vain ly endeavoring to prolong the present business depression. The question | naturally suggests itself: Why is it necessary to restore confidence? Why is it necessary to bring back business prosperity? What has become of confi dence, what has become of prosperity? Both, under a Republican administration, have disappeared. Why is another Republican administration necessary to insure a return of confidence and prosperity? The very same men who, today, are going about the country still further destroying confidence by preaching calamity, are the men, who, four years ago said that the Republican party must be successful in order that there might be prosperity. The Republican party was successful, but instead of bringing prosperity it brought panic, business depression and commercial stagnation. Whatever may be said of the present panic, it cannot lie denied that.it is a Republican panic. The Republican party is in full possession of the government and must accept the responsibility. How, then, can a continuation of the Republican party in power cure the evils from which the business community and the laboring man now suffer? Let the Republicans howl about their own panic, and not make false predictions about what will happen under a Democratic administration. They pi-dr ied prosperity tour yeai phets. Why, then, should any sane man accept their premonitions now when Ihoy say that Hryan's election would bring business troubles. Itusi ness troubles are alread - here. What business men want is a cure for them, not a prolongation of the disease by the same sort of treatment which has produced the ailment. Because business men and laboring lien hoth know that a Republican administration has produced panic, they will not be deceived main by these false cries of Republican calamity howlers. They know that William Jennings Bryan is an honest man; they know that he will give ihe public an honest administration. They know that the calamity howl is for the sole purpose of deception.

Itesolations I’unkfiI by Indiana Tollei-a Condemn Utatementa of l*renIdent Hhn rpU-H — Kndh-m Chain Among Farmers. Chairman Mack was Informed by wire today that at a meeting of representative farmers of Washington township, Marion county, Indiana, the following resolutions were adopted, and It was also agreed to form an endless chain among the fanners of the country: Whereas, The Associated Press has sent out a statement issued by P. M. Sharpies, president of the Sharpies Separator Company of Westchester, Pa., saying that the hour Bryan is elected the Sharpies works will close down, and Whereas, Such statements as this wil! Intensify the present financial panic and will also tend to bring on, If possible, other and greater financial calamity; therefore, be it Resolved. That as farmers who have the good of our country at heart, we deeply deplore such unwarranted statements, and believing they are made for partisan purposes to Intimidate and influence voters, we herewith denounce all firms making this and similar announcements, as narrow and bigoted, and In these times as disloyal to the best business interests of the nation, and in as much as the persons and firms now resorting to these unfair and unpatriotic methods maintain their businesses by patronage of democrats as well as republicans, we condemn these methods as an insult to any democratic patron which ought to be, and which we hope will he, resented. Resolved. That we hereby call upon the farmers of the nation, irrespective of party, who believe In fair play, to unite with us through Ihelr organization and as individuals, in crushing out this unwise and indls'-rnet spirit which would sacrifice the country's welfare for party success.

BLUSH IF YOU CAN.

It Is a Sign of an Active Brain, De dares a Scientist. Sir Arthur Mitchell, K. C. B., of Edinburgh, who knows much that is strange about dreams, laughter and other commonplace human characteristics, has advanced the consoling theory that blushing is an achievement of which every one who can blush should be proud. lie says it requires brains to blush. Idiots cannot blush; neither can animals Sir Arthur calls attention to the fact that tiny Infants do not blush, although they loam to at an early age —just as soon, in fact, ns the bruin begins I i exercise its functions. In blushing, he says, the mind always must lie affected. It is always and only a bodily expression of a mental state. It is a natural thing for a blusher to say that he had tried not to blush. No individual blushes of ids own free will. The blush arises without call instantaneously and vanishes almost us quickly. Neither for its coining nor Its going is there any exercise of volition. it is controlled. Sir Arthur says, solely by the brain and is a positive sign that there is an active brain there. —New York World.

Boissier's High Priced Autograph. A good Boissier-Renan anecdote Is told by a French paper. One day Boissier arrived at Renan’s home with a beaming face, saying: “Now I’ll tell you a piece of news that will humiliate you. My autograph has fetched a higher price than yours.” “That does not surprise mo,” Renan said serenely. “And where did you hear tills?” It then turned out that at an auction a day or two before n Renan autograph had been sold for 3 francs and a Boissier for 5. “Weil,” Kenan went on, “now let me toll you the reason. There were three faults in the spelling of your letter, which is now lying here on my writing table. A friend of mine was at the auction and made a higher bid for the letter after noticing the artificial gems that adorned your prose. He brought it to mu In order that I might return II to you Instead of reaching the public, which might get a had impression of the accomplishments of members of tlie French academy.”

A primary teacher was presenting to her class selections from the story of Hiawatha preparatory to taking up the “Hiawatha Primer.” The story was prefaced by a few remarks in regard to the poet and Ids love for children. In reviewing the lesson she asked: “How many remember the unine of the poet who wrote this story?” Up went many hands. “You may tell us.
