BRYAN ard m ional tickets in Indiana. It had possible through the a*sir a: if;'! .iters Ker i and Shively
and Congressman Ttorfify and the other democratic congressmen from Indiana to effect the great reforms already accomplished. To defeat the state ticket and the congressmen would mean the national administration would be discredited at home and abroad and paralyze it from making further reforms. After being introduced by Gov. Ralston, Mr. Bryan said, in part: Peels at Home in Indiana. “I have been coming to Indiana for so many years during campaigns, 1 have begun to feel there would not be a campaign unless I came to talk to you,’’ he said in beginning his speech. “In fact, 1 have come to Indiana so often that I could almost greet many of you by your given names. I have come once again to talk to you and to urge you this time to show your confidence in your state ticket, in your splendid governor, your state administration and in President \\ il on. “I am not the young man you first learned to know, and I do not kno* how much longer 1 can keep up these campaigns, but I figure on about twenty years mote. You are a great lot of ''eople here in Indiana. You have been fighting for twenty years, and I I tv • bt , n llg'ithig for twenty years,* in fad, the only peace I had was when 1 was in the army. “In the other days I came here to .ell you wi at you could expect if the government were given over to tht: Democratic parly, all uni free to udmit now that hu ! f of the good things were not told. , "I want to plead with you for a vote of confidence in the national udministiatioii because that is what your vote is going to mean. I am near enough to the president to know him. to know his sincerity of puipo.se, his devotion to the people of this country and his unflinching courage in their interests to take more interest in this campaign than I ever did in one in which I was Interested. Deception of Republican Press. “I want to warn you against the efforts which are now being made to mislead you. The republicans are now going up and down this state, afraid to attack the president and the national administration, but trying to pee.suade you there is no connection between the state and the national ticket. I want to tell you that when the republicans were in power at Washington they could always see the connection, and 1 want to warn you now they will preach the same story for about four weeks. Then if they are successful there will be another story told immediately after the election, and that is the word they will send broadcast throughout the country that Indiana has repudiated President Wilson; Indiana has repudiated democracy and has been reclaimed by the i epublioans. I want to call your attention to an editorial appealing in The Indianapolis Star, under date of September fit). “The writer says in this editorial that it is not President Wilson that is in this campaign.

Some Greencastle Kidney Sufferers
Get Little Rest or Comfort.
There is little sleep, little rest, little peace for many a sufferer from kidney trouble. Life is one continual round of pain. You can’t rest at night when there's kidney backache. You suffer twinges and “stabs” of pain, annoying urinary disorders, lameness and nervousness. You can’t be comfortable at work with darting pains and blinding dizzy spells. Neglect these ailments and serious troubles may follow. Begin using Doan’s Kidney Pills at the first sign of disorder. Thousands have testified to their merit. Greencastle readers will find convincing proof in the following tes-
timony:
Mrs. w. K. Sears, South St., Danville, Ind., says: “For some time my kidneys troubled me. The least t posure caused pains in my loins and sides. I felt drowsy and had dizzy spells. On a friend’s advice, I used Doan’s Kidney Pills and they relieved me at once. Others of my family have taken Doan’s Kidney Pills with
good results."
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills - the same that Mrs. Sears had. ^Foster-Mllburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y.

deceive you. He knew better, but he hoped that you would not, and now it he wants to know what they have done 1 am here to tell you. Not a One-Man Government. "This is not a one-man government. No executive action can he taken by the president of this country unless it is ratified by the house and the senate. Now, what have Shively and the congressmen of Indiana done'.’ They have remained firm in their support of the President; they have uptield his hands and when the Presi dent asked for anything there were the votes of Kern and Shively in the senate and the other Indiana eon-g-essmen in the house supporting h'm. That is what they have done and I want to ask you if there is any reason why the splendid state ticket you now have before you should be defeated because the candidates are going up and down this state making the fight and using all the influence there is possible to continue democracy, to return to the support of the President the men who nave been supporting him. No, the republicans know better than that of which they are speaking now. Wilson Set a Nation Free. “We now have a low tariff It is a good tariff law, better than 1 believed we could put through. I have been taking part in campaigns for thirtyfour years. That is seventeen congressional campaigns and during all that time I can never remember the time that the people of this country have not been made the victims of an endeavor to frighten them with the thoughts of a panic every time the democrats mentioned the tariff. But the republicans say they could have given this country a low tariff. And if you ask the Roosevelt republicans why Taft did not give this country a low tariff, they will say he was not progressive, and yet Roosevelt had about twice as long to do nothing and he did just about as well. “But we now have a low tariff law, the best tariff law we have had since the war. We hud a good tariff law in '9.1, but conditions have changed and w'e now have a better one. When President Wilson signed that tariff law he did one thing for this country that will live for a decade at least and that is he set a nation free and tomorrow you can go to the polls to cast your vote as you desiie. “He declared that President Wilson is the first chief executive who has had the courage to ‘strike the ax at the root of the tree,” and that the Republicans did not strike at the root "because they were leaning against the tree and could not have
it I’all on them.
“But when President Wilson signed the low tariff bill and the next morning the sun arose as usual, the fertility of the soil was not decreased and the panic did not come, the people began to realize there never had been a combination between the Almight'’ and the Republican party. Banks Freed From Wall Street. Leaving the tariff question, Mr. Bryan took up the income tax passed by the present Democratic Congress. He explained the operation of the law, saying that not one man in ten will be affected by it for the reason that it applies only to those having
splendid incomes.
After praising the passage and the provisions of the income tax law, Mr. Bryan look up the currency act. Since its enactment the center of finances in this country has been in Washington, and not in Wall Street, where it had been while the republicans were in office, he aserted. He declared the Wilson administration, through the President and Secretary McAdoo, has forced Wall Street out of the control of the money market. “‘Under the currency law the financial center has been moved from Wall Street to Washington,’ Secretary Hrvan said. 'Washington is only ;o miles from New York—so close that a lobbyist can get on a train at midnight in New York and reach Washington in time to talk to the senators before the opening of the ;
senate.

WHICH IS THE HEAVIER? Does a Pound ot Lead or a Pound of Feathers Weigh More? The favorite question with the sctiuol committee men of oldeu time was, we are told—“Which is the heavier, a pound ot feathers or a pound of lead?’ The first rash answer used almost always to be, "A pound ot lead.' Then, of course, from the older pupils would come the reply, “Both alike.” If this question were asked to-day, the old-time querist might receive a decided surprise; for the pound of feathers could easily be proved to be the heavier. A stmpte experiment Is all the evidence needed. With any accurate scales weigh out a pound of lead, using ordinary shot for convenience. Pour the shot into one of the pans of a balance. For the feathers a light muslin bag will be needed, and cure must be taken that feathers and bag together do not weigh more than a pound. When the bag of features is put into the other pan of the balance, the beam will, after a few oscillations, come to rest exactly level. Bo far the verdict ' Both alike' seems to be proved. But place the balance on the receiver of an air pump, with lead and feathers undisturbed Cover the whole with the glass bell Jar, and exhaust the air. Blowly the feathers sink, aud the lead kicks the beam. The pound of feathers is heavier than the pound of lead. The truth Is that what we called a pound was not such in fact; for the atmosphere buoys up everything within It in proportion to the bulk of the object, and the feathers being of a greater bulk than the lead are supported by the air to a considerably greater extent than the lead. Remov ed from the supporting medium, their true weight is made evideut. Charles Reade propounded a similar question In one of his novels. A Jew ish trader is made to ask. "Which is the heavier, a pound of feathers or a pound of gold?” After awhile he explains to the satisfaction of Ills audience of miners that the feathers are the heavier. Gold, he explains, Is weighed bytroy weight, while feathers are weighed by avoirdupois; aud as the twelve ounces in a pound troy eon tain only five thousand seven hundred and sixty grains, while the avoirdupois pound contains nearly seven thousand grains, the pound of feathers is, of course, twelve hundred and forty grains heavier than the pound of gold
"Along with the tariff we have an income tax law. ^,1 suppose that I have been called more hard names through my agitation for an income tax law than for any other reason. They have ranged all the way front di.-ti ihuter of tiie peace to anarchist and demagogue was a way station. But now as 1 look hack over the days when I fought for a 2 per cent, income tax law and now look at the law making assesments of from 1 to j 7 per cent.. I wonder at the modesty
of my youth.
“The republicans were not in fnvoi of an income tax law. The income tax law take- from the back of the poor much of the burden of unequal taxation which they have had to carry and asks tribute from the pockets of those whose income is mote than $3,000 a year. I ess than nine-tenths of Hie people of this country are affected by the income tax and the proportion of democrats is far less than that. But the republicans have had control of this government for so many years they have been enabled to amass fortunes, pile up money and now they are complaining because we are reaching out with the hand of the government and saying you must
give part of it back.
"WV11, if they ask you now what
Kern and Shively and the Indiana democratic congressmen have done, go back and tell them they have helped the President pass a low tariff
law and on income tax law. “And if it had not been for senators
like Shively and representatives like Korbly. President Wilson would never have been able to accomplish the e
things.”
The Vote Unanimous. Mr. Bryan asked those in the audience who believed the new plan to be an improvement on the old one to raise their hands. Every hand in the audience was raised, lie then asked to see the hands of those who believed the old plan to be the best, but ther • was no response. "And yet the republican news paper* will tell you to defeat mei like Bhivelv and men like Koib’v knowing full well, when they tell yo that, that if they are defeated pro f rase In congress will stop.

Nicaraguan Customs. Among the many old customs of Nicaragua, those relating to the dead are the weirdest to the stranger. Some of these have been handed down by tradition from the Indians, others were brought over by the Conquerors and tile two are so blended that It is difficult to tell which predoml nates As soon as the medico pro nouacea ones illness fatal word is sent to the village padre, who prepares to ad minister the last sacraments of the church to the dying person. Placing the consecrated wafer in the i ustodlu a vessel of solid gold or silver, often resplendent with rare Jewels a procession is formed and marches through the street. A small boy ringing a bell rushes ahead to announce the aproaeh of the sacred presence, and after him follows a band of music, often a single violin, playing a dirge. If It be possible to secure any soldiers, they surround the padre, who, dressed In brilliant vestments. Is generally carried in a chair, over which four men hold a purple canopy. As the little cortege moves down the silent streets, every one bares his head and kneels, mak iug the sign of the cross until the last soldier has passed Woe to the sacrilegious stranger who falls to show this mark of respect, and many have been the instances where for eiguers /tre pulled from their horses and even stoned for neglecting to follow this tint honored custom.

RESOLUTION SHATTERED, The Moral Suasion Scheme Didn’t Work on Jack Jones. A little boy came home one day from school in u very bad humor. Another boy, Jack Jones, had given him a thrashing, and he wanted revenge. "Oh," said his mother, “don’t think of revenge, Willie. Be kind to Jack Heap coals of fire on his head. Then he will become your friend.” Willie thought he would try this method. So the next day at receas, just as he was buying a lemon pie for luncheon, Jack appeared and said: "Look here. I licked you yesterday, but I didn’t give you enough. Now I’m going to lick you again." And he planted a hard blow on Willie’s little stomach. Willie gasped, but Instead of strifc Ing back he extended his pie to Jones. “Here," he said In a kindly voice. “TH give you this. I make you a present of It.” Jack, in glad amazement, fell upon the pie greedily, and it had aoon disappeared. "Gosh, it was good!” be said. "What did you give it to me for?” "Because you struck me.” said the heaper of the coals. Instantly Jack hauled off and struck him again. "Now go and get another pie," he said.—Ladles’ Home Journal.

Degraded Indians. The last man *. the Santa Barbara Island was deported In 1853. Our knowledge of these extinct Indians ofl l lie California coast Is derived from the accounts of the early voyagers from the missionaries who subsequently settled on the islands, and from the remains 1.. their refuse heaps and the skulls and skeletons which have from tine to time been collected. Some of tho Islands probably at one time bad v population approach iug one thousand each, but In 1823 only about nine hundred were left on Santa Barbara and the neighboring Islets; aud by 1875 all bad disappear ed. Although they manufactured a certain number of domestic utensils, these Santa Barbara Indians are de scribed by the missionaries as the most degraded of all human beings, with a morality lower than that of animals Insects, especially firasshoppers, form ed a portion of their food, algo prob ably the larger varieties of earthworms.
