An Open Letter to the Democrats of
Hancock County.
I am a candidate for the nomination for Representative, and as such, will appreciate the votes of all who feel free to support my candidacy. Should the people select me for this high office, I will represent them the best I can. I will say right here that if elected, Hancock county will have her vote for United States senator cast for the Hon. John W. Kern, and to retain the county local option law on the statute books.
It is being argued as against my candidacy that I have not at all times voted the whole Democratic ticket. It has even been said that I voted against the Hon. Thomas R. Marshall. Such is not the fact. I claim to be the first Democrat of Greenfield to advote the nomination of Mr. Marshall and was loyal to him throughout the campaign.
I maintain that good citizenship is worth more than mere partisanship, ^that the discriminating voter is the salvation of his party. I claim to be at least consistent in my voting.
In the fall of 1908 the whole Democratic State ticket received my support, with the exception of AttorneyGeneral. I voted for Mr. Bingham, who was on another ticket because of the suits then pending against ttye brewery—saloon, believing that it were fitting that he be allowed to prosecute these cases to a finish.
One year ago I was selected to lead the local option organization. The results are known by all. My party irregularities have been in harmony with what the people of Hancock county had aright to expect of me, in keeping with my stand on the local option question. Had I done anything less I would have deemed myself ill worthy of the confidence, which I now ask you to repose in me.
The above is written, not as an argument why $*ou should vote for me. The people are sovereign, I have no right to ask their suffrages as against their ideas of fitness. But in discriminating between candidates you have aright to know the standing of him for whom you vote.
Very truly, JAMES N. GOBLE.
Pull 'Em Down.
The appearance in this city of a young man with two heads on his shoulders was a sight worth beholding. The two heads were fully developed, the features regular and handsome, but not at all alike, for the hair on one head was black and straight and on the other quite light and fluffy.
The young man, who was otherwise, in appearance and action,a fine speciman of the well-trained athlete, was not a museum freak, as might be supposed. One head was that of his "best girl," and this little story would never have been written had she not neglected to pull down the blind."

SMALLPOX AT SHELBYVILLE
Lady Carried Disease Home When She
Returned Home From Visit.
The smallpox
has at
last invaded
Shelbyville. The sufferer
is Mrs.
Alfred Main, of 402 Harrison avenue. She broke out with the disease Sunday evening, says the Shelbyville News. It reached here direct from Fenns. Mrs. Main is a sister of Mrs. George Mallory, of near Feens. The Mains were visiting the Mallorys during the holidays at the time one of the children was showing the first symptoms of the contagion.
The physician summoned to the Main home Sunday evening refused to take charge of the case and the sufferer is being attended by City Sanitarian Dr. B. G. Keeney, who has established a strict quarantine at the home.
Teachers and Newspapers. "Oh, I never read a newspaper," said a school teacher the other day when somebody asked her about a current event.
School teachers are busy people, are overworked perhaps and are also underpaid. But it would take a very strong reasoning power to excuse them from jeading newspapers. More good sound sense, practical knowledge and information about life as it really is can be learned from the intelligent reading of a newspaper than in any other way. That is a broad statement, but true nevertheless. It is not a plea for subscribers for there is scarcely a person in Greenfield who does not have the opportunity to read at least two papers each day. And two papers are enough. In fact more than that is too many for the ordinary reader. Everybody should read one good local paper, and one metropolitan paper.
It is the history of a day bottled up into a few minutes interesting reading. It is history in the making and certainly that is more important than reading of most history when it was in the making. In other words, the events of today are more important than the events of yesterday. Your opinions on the events of yesterday are almost worthless as far as practical results go.. But your opinions on the events of today may held mould the events of tomorrow.
