You are beaten to earth? Well, well whats that? Come up with a smiling face. Its nothing against you to fall down flat. But to lie there that's disgrace.

THE entire Republican delegation of Ohio congressmen lined up recently and threw off the Cannon yoke. They declare that they will have no more Cannon Czarism and bossism in theirs. Indiana has only two Republican congressmen, Crumpacker and Barnard and they certainly would do well to come out flat footed on the side of the President, the Roosevelt policies and the people.

THE fact that the Democratic candidates met and made an agreement to spend no money treating with cigars and other things has proved to be quite popular. It has saved the candidates themselves a good many dollars and the voters generally approve of it because they say it is discouraging a bad principle, as it is not right under any circumstances to bribe voters, even in a small way or to buy an office.

THE Noblesville Ledger says of music in the public schools there. "We are given to fulsome praise of our schools, especially in reference to •the music in the schools. But with all the money spent on this 'side line' and with all the 'wonderful feats' of the children we do not turn out enough singers from the whole lot to fill up our church choirs. The question might be asked is music an ornament or is it a service?

THE automobile industry is a wonderful one in this country. From §150,000,000 to §175,000,000 is invested in the business. Michigan leads in the number of machines turned out. Here 49 factories will turn out 102,000 machines during 1910. Ohio with 30 factories comes second with 22,750, while Indiana with 30 factories is a close second with 21,025 machines for this year's output. The other States turning out big numbers are Illinois, 15,300, Wisconsin 11,000, New York 10,400, Massachusetts 4,100, Pennsylvania 3,250, Connecticut 2,100. Indiana is one of the ranking States in all lines of manufacturing and also as agricultural and stock State.

THE people's cause should be represented by their member in Congress. Republicans in makfng their congressional nominations should see to it that only men are nominated that will faithfully and honestly stand for the interests of the people. Let only men be nominated who will command the confidence and support of the people. Nominate true blue Republicans, not men who will be subservient to and under the dictation of the Bosses and the System. Candidates should be required to unequivically state their positions on all questions liable to come up before Congress. The people of a party have a right to know how their candidate stands on all subjects and no man should be nominated who will not correctly represent his people. The Republican press should do its duty and see to it that all candidates who do not stand four square on all questions should get the willis-co-thaw before the nominating convention. In that way good candidates can be secured around whom all can rally in the support of those progressive and proper policies advocated and supported by Roosevelt, Taft and Albert J. Beveridge, which will make for the good of the American people and the American Nation.

Fever Sores.

Fever sores and old chronic sores should not be helped entirely, but should be kept in healthy condition. This can be done by applying Chamberlain's Salve. This salve has no superior for this purpose. It is also most excellent for chapped hands, sore nipples, bur/is and diseases of the skin. For sale by all druggists.

Near Dublin, Getting Health and

Pleasure in Florida's Balmy Breezes,

But There's No Place Like Home-

Will Return With the Birds in the

Spring. Below we publish a most interesting letter from Mrs. J. W. Thomas, Jr., of near Dublin, who, with her husband, is spending the winter in Florida:

MELBOURNE, FLORIDA, JAN. 20, 1910.

"To the Greenfield REPUBLICAN a friendly greeting. How we do enjoy its weekly visits in this far away southland. And thinking our many friends in Hancock county would enjoy a few lines from us, we take this means of communication, as of course they all read the REPUBLICAN or should.

In company with my husband we boarded the train at Cambridge City, Ind., at 2:24 p.m., Dec. 7th, 1909, stopping over night at Cincinnati. From there we came over the Queen and Crescent route, reaching Jacksonville the 9th a little after noon, too late to catch our train for Melbourne. We were pleasantly served at the Delman hotel until the next morning, during which time we visited the Ostrich farm, which was of much interest. There were 178 of the big birds, beside a variety of others, also number of wild animals. Then a view of the St. John's river.

Our train due at 9:30 a.m., we resumed our journey southward, reaching our destination at about 5:15 Friday evening, 194 miles south of Jacksonville. We obtained a room at Hotel Carlton until the next evening, when we found permanent quarters at "The Oaks" in the comfortable and cozy home of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Castle, in the west part of town. "Two weeks later, however, when Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Kersey and Chester Macy arrived, old acquaintances from near Straughns, we let our room to another couple and engaged a cottage with them. We have a fiveroom cottage and an orange orchard and some other fruit. Also a garden which will soon afford us vegetables. "Melbourne is situated on the Indian river and Crane creek, which joins it at this place. The town is said to be twenty-five or thirty-five feet above the river and also to be the highest and healthiest place in Florida. The river is two miles wide, then a narrow strip of land at Melbourne Beach, near three-fourths of a mile in width, and we are at the Atlantic coast. "We made our first trip over on the I5th of January and though the wind was cold, the water was quite pleasant according to reports from some of our party who tried it. The old ocean is certainly a grand sight. We had glimpses of the Porpoise fish, a huge monster that could easily give Jonah a seat in his 'parlor.' It is not used for food, but his hide is used for fine purses, belts, etc. After gathering shells, wading the sand and a hearty lunch, it was a very tired party that took the boat for home. The wind and waves were rough and our boat was tossed about, but by God's protection we were landed safely. '/This is a small town of about two hundred inhabitants, increased to about twice the number by tourists during the winter. They have the artesian sulphur water from a depth of four or five hundred feet, also the soft water from driven wells, as soft as rain water and warm enough for dish water. We find it hard to accustom ourselves to the use of the drinking water. Unless the nights are cold it is almost impossible to use it. "To use a popular phrase, 'there's not much doing' here. There are three general stores, also one for boat supplies and repairs, a bank, hardware and drug store, two good hotels. The Carleton is situated on the bluff overlooking the Indian river and the Brown House near the depot, both large, modern buildings. There are three churches, the M. E., Congregational and Episcopal, also a grammar school. There are some very nice houses and a number of cottages, furnished thrughout for the accommodation of the tourists, some unoccupied as yet. Furnished cottages rent from §125 to §200i for the season and on up. Furnished rooms for §60 and upward for the season. The streets and walks are made of shell with the exception of a small part of the town where they have cement walks. "We have met some here from our our own "dear Indiana," some from Michigan, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Canada and other places, some of each party in quest of "health. We miss the pretty green lawns and fertile fields of the north, for scarce have we seen any cultivation of the soil except for garden truck or orange groves, with the exception of a field or two not far from Palatka, between here and Jax. "Oil the opposite side of Crane creek, we'd call it a river in the

Caught in the.river below.

"The climate to ua so delightful, We bask in the sunshine each day, The breezes blow soft from the ocean,

And the mocking bird sings us her lay.

"The whip-poor-will too has her home here, The bluejay will eat from our hand, The red bird with crown all so pretty,

Makes her nest in the sunny southland.

"Not all their gay plumage is taken, To satisfy feminine pride, But grace the palmetto and oak tree,

We see growing on every side

But no place so dear as the homeland, The skies there, so blue and serene, With cold sparkling water our thirst to slack,

Our dooryards so beautifully green.

"So with the birds in the spring we go northward, And glad for the time to come, When again we shall greet the friends we have left.

In our dear In-di-ana home." MKS. J. W. THOMAS,

THE GANG'S INFLUENCE

W. H. Whittaker Says, "The Gang"

Meeting. The second boys mass meeting, under the auspices of the Holy Grail held at. the M. E. church Sunday afternoon was attended by a large number of boys and an equal or larger number of men. The meeting was an enthusiastic one. The singing and music were inspiring and the cornet solo, "Nearer My God to Thee" by Professor Stovers was beautiful and affected men and boys, almost to tears. Mr. Samuel J. Offutt introduced the speaker, Mr. W. H. Whittaker and paid him a high compliment for his great work with and for the boys at the Indiana Reformatary at Jeffersonville, of which he was superintendent for six years. Mr. Whitta-

ker told of some of his experiences

with the boys at the Reformatory and

also told of some of the boys, experiences and the cause of their downfall. Mr. Whittaker said that a large per cent, of the boys there, were there because they had run with "the Gang" and smoked cigarettes, played cards and got to gambling. He said that cards, cigarettes and gambling were the causes of many of their downfalls. Still, he said, there was good in practically all the boys and that good is being brought out at the Reformatory where they are given an education and an opportunity to learn a useful trade. Mr. Whittaker advised the boys to stay away from the cities and to get out on the farms and close to nature. Here he said they would avoid many of the temptations which a city boy must overcome or fall a victim to.

The talk was a plain and practical one in every way and we believe will help the boys and men who heard him. The boys will hold another meeting on the afternoon of Sunday February 6th., at the Presbyterian church and Rev. C. C. Bonnell, of Indianapolis will be the speaker.

north, is south Melbourne, the colored man's home. He is not allowed to live on this side. The prejudice against the black man is strong in the south. The depots all have their two waiting rooms, marked in unmistakable letters, White and Colored. The city cars are the same way and if the colored man's part of the carriage is full and the white unoccupied, he must stand. I once referred to the wash woman as 'lady,' when the mistress of the house said laughingly, 'You must not say lady, Mrs. B-— will not understand you.' "With the pine and the sand forever in view, and in a great many ways far behind the north, we must say the climate is delightful. The mercury occasionally reaches up toward 80, but always a fine breeze. We are each enjoying a splendid appetite and though rheumatism has struck us the hardest ever, we hope to report lasting benefit eventually.

GREENFIELD SCHOOLS

Have Made Rapid Strides In Efficien

cy Under Present Officers and

Teachers—The Attendance, Aver

ages, Etc. The Greenfield city schools began the second term of the school year Monday, January 17, with a slight decrease in attendance. The attendance now averages: High school, 163 Departmental, 146 Washington, 246 Lincoln, 137 Longfellow, 141 and East Greenfield, 31, a grand total of 864 pupils. No heavy decrease is noticed, except from one building, the Washington, all others having about the usual number. There are at present, five buildings devoted to the city schools, though at one time it was thought that another building would be necessary to take care of the pupils from the north part of town.

Thirty teachers look after the coming men and women, making an average of 29 pupils to each teacher.

Principal, A. W. Konold, of the High school has six teachers under him, Principal, J. E. Radcliffe, of the departmental, has four, Principal Arthur Boone, Washington building has six, Principal E. W. Sterling, of the Lincoln has three, Principal Earl Asher, of the Longfellow has three and Ada New of the East Greenfield school, is the only teacher.

A janitor has charge of each building and keeps them in first class condition.

The distribution of pupils into grades and buildings is as follows first grade, 49 at Washington, 25 at Lincoln, 21 at Longfellow, 11 at East Greenfield, a total of 106 Second I grade: Washington, 49 Lincoln, 25

Longfellow, 22 East Greenfield, 11 a total of 105. Third grade: Washington, 59 Lincoln, 25 Longfellow, 20 East Greenfield, 12 a total of 122. Fourth grade Washington, 35 Lincoln, 25 Longfellow, 30 a total of 85 fifth grade Washington, 54 Lincoln, 15 Longfellow, 28 a total of 97. Sixth grade Washington, 42 Lincoln, 22: Lodgfellow 15 a total of 79. Seventh grade 90 eighth grade 69 freshmen, 56 sophomore, 51 junior, 33 senior 37. Out of the senior class there are at present, three pupils who have enough credits to graduate although they will continue the course.

The average monthly salary roll for teachers is $2,089.35 and for janitors §166.66 a total of §2256.01 to which add the superintendent's salary and you have a tidy little sum.

The school board is composed of J. W. Harrell, pres. S. J. Offutt, sec. and G. H. Cooper, treas. all honest and progressive business or professional men.

Under the superintendency of W. C. Goble, the city schools have advanced to a high degree in efficiency. He

has instituted into the

schoolg a manual

departmental

training department

for the boys, and a domestic science department for the girls of which Miss Selma Stephens is supervisor. Last week he started a commercial geography class which he teaches. This is a new' department in our schools. The fire drill which was instituted last year in the schools has been practiced until a building can be emptied in a remarkably short lime after the alarm has been sounded.

Monthly meetings of the grade teachers are hekl to discuss their work and plans, weekly meetings of the high school faculty are held to discuss ways and means. The principals of the various bnildings'also meei monthly and discuss items of general interest to them and the schools.

Recently the high school buildingwas rekalsomined, a new furnace, sanitary drinking fountains, up-to-date ventilating system and sanitary closets were installed. Arrangement!.are now being made to put up fire escapes at the Washington and Longfellow schools.

Among the departments most complimented are the drawing and music of which Miss Myrtle Woodson is supervisor, the domestic class of which Miss Selma Stephens is supervisor and the manual training. The Greenfield schools are above the average in every way and are a credit to the citizens school board, superintendent, teachers and pupils.
