ONE WOMAN TO ANOTHER

Minnie was crying the other morning when I called. You see she had been planning a trip to the lakes for a long time and she was packing. In the first place her trunk was old, which was not to her liking then it wouldn't hold half the things she wanted to take, and "if I put my new gown in there it wouldn't be fit to look at when I arrive," she said to me tearfully. Well, it didn't take me long to convince Minnie she ought to have a new trunk. That very morning we went down to L. S. Ayres & Co. to see Likely trunks. Five minutes' view of one of the wardrobe styles decided her. She bought a trunk, and when she had it home realized its convenience and learned that all her clothes could be packed inside without rumpling—well, 1 hardly need tell you how happy she was. Every woman will know.

She left for the lakes supremely happy, with every gown she anticipated taking, her newest included.

There is this peculiarity in the American people. They take more interest in politics and get worked up almost to a frenzy during a campaign, but when the campaign is over and the election has occurred, the most of the people want the officers to render service to the whole people regardiess of party or politics. Only a few people will look with approval upon officers carrying politics into the discharge of their official duties. This is the attitude of the best people of all parties, and officers who persist in mixing politics with official duties not only invite personal criticism but bring reproach upon their party and politics generally. A party may put a man forward as a candidate and elect him, but after his election he from Muncie.

James J. Jeffries who retired from the prize ring several years ago because there were no more giants for him to conquer, spent the interim between that time and his recent fiasco in excesses and abuses which broke down his physical and nervous energies. As a result he was knocked out. Some politicians throughout the whole country, stimulated by past victories are trifling with their popularity and the confidence of the people, and as a result they too will be knocked out and they will eventually find like Jeffries did, that they are "only a shell" (only a sell) that they can not "come back" to their old conditions. They are away from the people and can't get back. Its the people more than ever now. Political aspirants should get close to them. Let them lead and the servants follow.

Governor Harmon, of Ohio, evidently has a high idea of the responsibility which accompanies the offices of mayor and sheriff. His suspension of the mayor of Newark, Ohio, and the sheriff of Licking county for their failure to do their duty in the preservation of'the peace and the protection of life and property has the true ring. He expects officers to use good judgment and to auticipate the results of abnormal conditions. The failure of the officers to call for the aid of thejmilitia in time to protect the prisoners which were in jail and one of whom was hanged by the mob was an official delinquency which he

could not overlook. He evidently ex

Washington, July 5.—Another Tom Taggart fairy tale is exploded. Mr. Taggart is not the fairy godfather of Indiana Democratic editors, after all. Those C. H. Tavener Washington letters, sent "free" to one hundred and fifty Democratic newspapers in Indiana, for the last ten weeks, are paid for by "men higher up."

Mr. Taggart bows and smiles, and takes unction to himself for donating a thing of large value to his editorial followers. But if the truth must be known, the international shipping trust, organized to oppose progressive legislation affecting rates, is the power behind Tavener, and it is the shipping trust which "pays the freight" on those "Harmon and Harmony" Washington letters which Taggart's state central committee has just ordered to be continued during the Indiana state campaign.

Associated with the international shipping trust are the great steel corporation. the railroad combines, the lumber combine, the?" meat packers, the harvester trust, the sugar trust and a few others. Naturally, a publicity bureau backed by such powerful interests. is "in funds." and generous.

A certain rich man named Herman Oelrichs, onetime treasurer of the

of the international shipping trust, and it was Oelrichs, and not Tom Taggart, who put C. H. Tavener in charge of the "Harmon and Harmony" publicity bureau at Washington. It is to Oelrichs and not to Tom Taggart that the Democratic editors owe their

Now the Taggart state central committee has added its own publicity bureau to the "Harmon and Harmony," shipping trust annex at Washington. It is announced with much flourish that the head of the Indiana bureau of Democratic publicity is to be paid $60 a week, and that many thousands will he spent. It will occur to the plain Indiana voter to ask if the shipping trust is paying for the Indiana bureau as well as for the Washington work.

He impresses people a.s a man of ability and sterling integrity. That explains his nomination for attorney general on the Republican state ticket. He is a gifted speaker, and his oration at the Ninth district Republican convention at Lebanon not long ago attracted more than state-wide notice. Mr. .Mount taught school, and while teaching at Crawfordsville. studied law. He is of the family which produced Governor Jas. A. Mount. He has been honored by his home people, and is serving as county attorney. He is a trustee of Wabash college.

[Inriianapolt* Correspondence.]

The Democratic state central committee has chosen its publicity bureau superintendent in the person of Guern-! sev Van Riper, recently city editor of I the Tndianapolis Star. It Is understood Mr. Van Riper is to be paid $60 per week during the campaign. He is to be "advised" in matters of policy' by State Chairman Stokes Jackson, Sam Ralston, of Lebanon, George Beebe of Anderson, and Ed. G. Hol'f-: mRn, of Fort Wayne. Mr. Hoffman will represent Steve Fleming and the Tom Marshall interests. He will be tremendously in the minority. All the other men who are to "advise" the

publicity bureau, are strong Taggart followers. The funds for conducting the publicity bureau- are to be provided via Tom Taggart, Joe Fanning. Gus Belmont and the others, from sources such as fed the Democratic party.j cause in the days of A. B. Parker. This is the cheering word sent forth by the Taggart workers, and it is probably true, in some degree.

It will take some time for Superintendent Van Riper and his helpers to square away and get down to work.

It has been found that it will be disastrous to attack existing liquor laws. The tariff question presents serious difficulties to Demoorats this year. They talk of the high cost of living, but they do not dare to go to the Indiana farmer with arguments against good prices for products of the farm.

KIDNEYREMEDY

If 3 2,000 men—druggists, who ought

know, because sickness, drugs and medicine are their business—should tell you t'hat a certain medicine was good for your kidney trouble, would

you

believe them? After you had explained about your urine, your broken rest, and all the other symptoms which the kidney sufferer easily recognizes after you had secured a proper diagnosis from your physician and felt certain tha: your kidney disease wasn't "lumbago,'' "rheumatism of the 'back" or an "attack of indigestion"—as some patent medicine advertisements migh: make you think—if these 12,000 druggists should all say that, next to a reputable physician's prescription, "This is the best-known remedy for your kidney trouble if anything can help you this will if t'here is virtue in any ready-made medicine there is double virtue in this,'' would you believe them?

That is just what the 12.000 druggists who are members of the American Druggists Syndicate do say to you about A. D. .S. Kidney Remedy, and they say it because they know this is one the best products of t'his vast organization.

The A. D. S. druggists realize too plainly the seriousness of kidr ^y disease—they understand fully the responsibility of offering any treatment calculated to benefit it—and while they would prefer to see every one go to a good physician to be treated, they appreciate the fact that there are many who can't or won't—and for these people these druggists have prepared this A. D. S. Kidney Remedy, and say: "Take it—we know it is good—we know what is in it—we stand behind it—and we feel certain it will help you. If it don't, we will cheerfully refund your money."
