Some people think that land in Hancock county at $100 to §150 per acre is too high, but if they were to attempt to buy a farm they woind find that there are not many fai ms for sale even at those prices. A farm was sold a few days ago in Hancock county to a Rush county man for $lb3 per acre. If a man wants a farm in Hancock county he had better buy whenever he gets a chance because there are not many chances even at prevailing prices.

No man in public or private life has wielded the influence and held the confidence of the people and still holds it as Theodore ^Roosevelt. The great mass of the people would rather see him president, notwithstanding I he has twice served in that capacity, than any other man. His support is different from that of other leaders. I It is not confined to party. In gfaet many of the highjofficials of his2party are against him, and all the [railroads and corporations. But the] enemies he has made in certain circlesjhas increased his popularity with ^the fpeople. Only one thing will keep him from being the next president and that will be his own declinationJto|be a candidate, and thousands of people are praying that he will not decline.

FULL OF SYMPATHY FOR THE STRUGGLE!!

S. C. Ferrell, for Superintendent of Public Instructityrt Fine intelligence, a gracious personality and wholesoirvci comeliness of character are corahined in Samuel C. Ferrell, the educator. Mr. Ferrell is strong among teachers and school workers in Indiana," and in his race for .superintendent of public instruction, this year, it is predicted that the influence c£ county superintendents and instructors generally will be thrown in large measure to his cause. Mr/Ferrell's many years as a district school teacher, as a high school teacher and principal, as a city superintendent at Shelbyville, and as a coun­

ty superintendent in Porter county, fit him to deal with all phases of school work in the state. His own experience—working his way through college, to his A. B. degree, before he was 21 years old—gives him the viewpoint of the aspiring student, and gives him to see the needs and the actual* ities of the school system. He has all the sympathy of the self-made man^for the youth who is struggling upward towards success. Mr. Ferrell already is known widely as a helper of the young. As state superintendent he will widen that reputation in a most practical and beneficent way.

BOSSES "IN BAD."

Samuel Gompers Easily May Inform Himself as to Labor's Resentment. Samuel Gompers, Democrat, is to be asked to make speeches for the Democratic ticket in Indiana this year. Mr. Gompers made Democratic speeches two years ago. He ha.s made Democratic speeches for many years, as a partisan. He went further than that in 1908, and without any great success attempted to lead working men into the Democratic camp. He will find, if be visits Indiana this campaign, which is extremely doubtful, that Indiana Democrats, as now controlled, are "in had" with the wage-earners. Mr. Gompers ought to investigate closely, and inquire carefully among labor men of Indiana before too loudly espousing the cause of the Democratic bosses who betrayed labor in this state in 1 !os. and in the legislature of 1909. There are many Indiana Democratic workingmen who will ijiform Mr. Gompers of the facts, if he wishe3 to know (he truth about Indiana. Indeed, he nerds go no further than the files of the labor press ot the state, to learn why he should stay out of the state this year, of all years.

SHIVELY AGAIN.

Directs Campaign in Indiana Against Tariff Commission Idea. Senator Shively rises in Indiana to denounce the tariff commission. This, in Indiana, where the tariff commission congress was held, and where business men, workingmen and farmers alike agree that the tariff commission idea is both fair and sensible. Republicans, and most Democrats,—who believe thoroughly in the tariff commission proposal,—were amazed by Senator Shively's announcement. Sam Ralston had proclaimed against the tariff commission, but no one paid much attention to that. Senator Shively, however, as leader of the Democratic tariff campaign, absolutely commits his party to the making of a fight against the greatest progressive proposition suggested in this country in a decade. Senator Shively commits the absent and exiled John W. Kern to a fight against the tariff commission. He commits Governor Marshall to the same fight.

It is the old, reliable Joe Bailey doctrine, right over again. Senator Shively agrees with Joe Bailey that the tariff commission, not only is unconstitutional, but is an unmitigated evil and menace, because it will bring about fair play for the people. Joe Bailey agrees with the great trusts for whom he labors day and night, that the tariff commission plan of fair play must never be carried through, if the trusts can prevent it. Joe Bailey speaks through Senator Shively in Indiana. Who will listen?

State Chairman Stokes Jackson also Is against the tariff commission.

Claiming Teddy.

There was a fight in Indianapolia a few days ago concerning the politics of Mr. Roosevelt. One man contended that he was a Democrat and the Republican resented the charges. In this incident we have foreshadowed the time wheu the Democratic party will be claiming Roosevelt as its own. Having appropriated Lincoln we may •zpect an effort to capture the fame Of Roosevelt.—Rloomfltld News.

EDITORS MISLED BY W!LY LAWYER

Pure Food Law Violators Use Taggart Bureau.

VICIOTS ATTACK ON OFFICER

Counsel For Interests Which Seek to Break Down Pure Food Laws Works

Partisan Bureau and impose on Honest Papers of State—Bureau Writer Later Lands on

Law's

Food Cases.

Attorneys for the pure food law violators, having failed to induce any reputable newspaper in Indianapolis or elsewhere to use their underhanded and crooked attacks on the attorney general's office, rightly figured that the Democratic press bureau, in its blind partisanship, and in its Taggart antipathy against the Republican attorney general, would snap at the tainted "dope."

The bureau accepted the bait and swallowed the adulterated stuff greedily, and used all the Democratic editors it could influence, in furthering the evil designs of the poisoners who sell rotten foods to the public. The trick worked.

A few days later, when the Republican attorney general of Indiana met obstacles interposed by tricky lawyers at Washington, and was forced to make a fight in court for testimony needed to complete Indiana's case, the Democratic press bureau sent out a story attacking some supposed Washington officers who were "trying to hamper the attorney general" and block the enforcement of the pure food laws.

Now the Democratic press bureau attacked the Republican attorney general of Indiana because he was a Republican, and because Thomas Taggart, does not love him personally, since the Casino suits. And the same bureau turned about within a week and attacked someone else at Washington on the-, around I'nat the ~.ame attorney general was being "hampered." hi one letter IVmocratic bureau lampooned the al.rornej general for going after evidence to enforce the pure food laws. In its next letter it lambasted men who apparently were trying to keep that evidence from the attornev general. hat is the public to believe?

SERVICE TO PARTY

Senator Beveridge Long Has Been

Great Help to Republican Cause.

Senator Beve.r.dcrc for years h:'s been one of the strong orators of lie publicanism in state and nation, i-ih-speaking tours for the national Republican committee, and his efforts ever campaign on behalf of the Indiana state and congressional tickets have been a source of help to the Republican cause and to the cause of the people generally. Not only has Senator Reveridge proved to be a vot.e-get.ter. but he has time and again demonstrated loyalty, zeai and effectiveness as a Republican campaigner. His speeches have been consistent in voicing the militant, progressive doctrine of the Republican party of Lincoln, Harrison. Fairbanks and Roosevelt.

The Fort Wayne News' Indianapolis correspondent quotes what Senator Beveridge said in 1908 in support of the Republican state ticket, and especially in urging the election of James E. Watson for governor of Indiana. Senator Beveridge said, at Richmond: "Every place that I have spoken I have asked the people to make tne popular majority of James E. Watson for governor equal to that of W. H. Taft for president. I earnestly hope that every Republican—yes, and every Democrat who values the welfare of the state—will not only cast his ballot for Mr. Watson, but that from now until election day he will work for him with might and main."

At Terre Haute Senator Beveridge said, on this same line: "Our candidate, James E. Watson, has had twelve years' experience in congress. He has risen by force oi native qualities to be whip of the house. When we remember that the house has nearly 400 members, of whom nearly 300 are Republicans, we can see how great a distinction that is. "He is able, he is highly trained, and he is one of the most brilliant orators that Indiana has ever produced. The Republicans of Indiana have made him our standard-bearer. Let us all rally, and by an overwhelming majority elect as the next governor of Indiana that eloquent man and skilled legislator, James B. Watson."

GREENFIELD REPUBLICAN, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1910.

Side of Pure

In/a letter sent out to Democratic P^ers the other day, the Democratic 'publicity bureau attacked Attorney

General Bingham viciously for traveling in search of testimony, depositions, witnesses and material with which to make the state's cases against pure food law violators.

In effect the Democratic bureau, apparently at the suggestion of the Democratic governor, but really in response to arguments from cunning counsel for the pure food law violators, declared against any effort by the state of Indiana to defend its position or to uphold the important laws against food frauds and adulterants.

SUPPLY ¥iOGS~LARGER PRICES DOWN 10 TO 20G

The Heaviest and Lightest Grades

Chief Sufferers.

Indianapolis, Ind., September 7.

Receipts, 8,000 hogs, 2,200 cattle and 1,200 sheep against 5,429 hogs, 2,303 cattle and 1,312 sheep a week ago and 4,864 hogs, 1,946 cattle and 532 sheep a year ago.

A big increase in hog receipts, making the supply fully equal to or a little more than required was a factor in the trading in favor of buyers and there was a general reduction in prices, the lowest 20c and few sales that did not show as much as 10c decline. The heaviest as well as the lightest hogs suffered more than the between weights. All buyers were in the field and there was a good clearance. Sales ranged from $9.50 to $10 and were mostly at $9.50 to $9.90.

Receipts of cattle were a little larger than usual at this time in the week recently and of the kind, there were as many as required. Most of the arrivals were of plain to medium quality or finish with a lack of aggressive competition for such kinds, prices were little changed from yesterday. Strictly well matured, well finished cattle sold steady. Bulls aside from top kinds were about 25 cents lower, feeders were steady and calves about 25 cents lower.

Receipts of sheep and lambs were as large as the daily average for some time but not excessive and with a steady demand from all sources, the market was only slightly different from yesterday. Most of the stock was in better salable condition and there was less complaint of any change in prices on that account. Aside from a few extra lambs at $6.85, the top was practically $6.50 and culls sold down to $4.00. Fat sheep sold as high as $4.50 and culls as low as $2.00.

There are two words of advice that all should remember—GO SLOW. .You may safely hurry when purchasing a new pair of gloves or shoes or any article that you will be done with in a short time. But with Furniture GO SLOW—you are buying for life. There's our experience to help the inexperienced, and a carefully chosen stock to do your choosing from. I will save you 25 to 50 per cent, and give you good goods, because my expenses are the lowest. An entire new line of Rugs and Carpets at the very lowest price.
