Congressman Barnard is making an impressive campaign. The Republicans who were disappointed by some of his recommendations for appointive positions appreciating the importance of sustaining Fresident Taft's administration are about all in line again1. They cannot: deny that Mr. Barnard has been a very consistent Republican. That he did all he could to assist the president in carrying out the policy of his reform adminstration. Republicans should not lose sight of the fact that serving the people in congress now is a much nore difficult task than it was a few years ago. Then everything that was partisan suited all the people of that particular party. Now a congressman must be right regardless of his party. The work of Mr. Barnard done in Congress has been done well and he deserves to be returned.

The movement to give a poultry show in Greenfield at the time of the Farmers' Institute will probably meet with general approval. There is "perhaps very few products of the farm that are more profitable than the poultry products, and taken in the aggregate they amount to about as much as any other farm product. They are therefore of great general interest to all the people. There are a great many people engaged in raising fine breeds of chickens, and they -could make an interesting and instructive show at the time of the institute.

Perhaps the wisest thing that Hon. John W. Kern has done sinoe he was named at the State convention of his gmrty for the candidate for United ^States senator, has been to say nothing about his defeat for United States ^senator by the last legislature. His position would be less embarrassing =now had he not talked so freely then. He id now probably acting under the

V?

advice of Tom Taggart, but after that defeat he was going it alone. He probably thought then that be was done with politics, and was in position to tell the truth. Silence is all that is left for him now.

Great crowds are hearing the speeches of Senator Albert J. Beveridge. His speeches are being received with manifested approval. Senator Beveridge has been a cam paign attraction since 1884 when a college boy,, he made speeches throughout the state but no campaign he ever made has attracted so much attention, nor elicited such thoughtful interest as the present campaign. He is a brilliant orator but it is his ideas in which the people are particularly interested at this time rather than his eloquence. There is no question but that the people regardless of party, in Indiana, are progressive.

Congressman Barnard has been in Rush county this week and has made speeches in all parte of the county. He is making friends and votes wherever he goes by his sincere and unequivocal speeches.

OBITUARY

George Roland, third son of Chapman and Eliza Roland was born in Jackson township, Hancock county, Indiana. September 6th, 1847, and died September 20th, 1910, age 64 years and 14 days. He was united in marriage to Minerva Midkiff in the yaar 1867. To this union were born nine children, three of whom have preceded him to the land of eternal rest. Those who are left with his wife to mourn his loss are Ida Francis, Grace Montgomery, Lillian Miller, Oscar, Ed and Jesse Roland, seventeen grandchildren, four brothers and three sisters.

George never united with any church, but a few days before his death he told his friends he could not get well and that he had lived nearly his allotted time and that he was ready and willing to go. By this we are led to believe that God the Father of all and the one to whom we must look for comfort, had spoke peace to his soul,

He enlisted in the civil war at a very early age, something near 17 years old, and served about two years. He was loyal to his country and made a good soldier. He loved to talk of his war days and tell of some of the hardships they were compelled to go through. His march with Sherman to the Sea was the one epoch he loved to talk about. From the field of strife where the patriot dies,

That shining pathway that mounts the skies. And the tongue that shouts our hosts along,

May swell the note of the angel's song. Let us love them still for although we part,

There's a ray of hope for the saddest heart, 'Tis the hope that when life's lastmarch is o'er,

We shall camp where comrades part no more. Sweet be thy rest, calm thy repose,

Safe from the reach of mortal woes, For we know that death is a transient pain,

If beyond the river we meet again.

Card of Thanks.

We wish to express our sincere thanks to the kind neighbors and friends for the services rendered during the sickness and death of our beloved wife and mother, also we thank the singers and pallbearers for their kindness and the minister for his comforting words in our sorrow.

WOULD RESTORE HOUSE'S POWER

Congressman Grumpacker Declares Against Gannonism.

WILL NOT VOTE FOR CANNON

Offered First Resolution Demanding

Committee on Committees Five

Year9 Ago Cannon Twenty-Five

Years Behind Procession—Congress

Cught to Make Its Own Rules and

Retain Proper Powers.

Congressman E. D. Crumpacker of the Tenth district, came out in an important statement recently, in which he said, in part: "Several times since I began my canvass of the district a few days ago, I have beeu. asked by individuals whether, if I were re-elected to the house, I would vote for Joseph G. Cannon for speaker of the next house. I have said unhesitatingly that I would not. "Mr. Cannon has been made the target of vituperation, misrepresentation and abuse by many critics. He is not the worst man in the world, and much of the criticism of him In newspapers and magazines has been unjust. He has served the country long and in many respects well, and he is now an old man. "The chief objection to Mr. Cannon is that he is about twenty-five years behind the procession. He formed his political ideals a quarter of a century ago and he has been too busy to reform them. He is not in sympathy with modern progressive policies, and it is an entirely safe prediction that he never will be speaker again. "go much for Mr. Cannon. We also haVe in this campaign the issue called Cannonism, which means the concentration in the speaker of the house of a large political and parliamentary power. The speaker, under the rules of the house, has too much power— more than any one man should be allowed to exercise. There had been twenty-five years of opportunity for filibuster in the house, culminating in a disgusting exhibition of holding up public business when three men blocked the proceedings in the house for eight days. This naturally created a demand for some sort of a system whereby the house might go on doing business in spite of a small and obstreperous minority. "In recasting the rules those In authority went to the other extreme and conferred too much power on the speaker. So what is generally known as Cannonism is an excessive enlargement of the speaker's power which was exercised before Cannon's day by Reed and Crisp and Henderson, although I thiuk Mr. Cannon probably has gone further than his predecessors in his construction as to the speaker's authority under the rules. '"Five years ago I introduced in congress the tirst resolution ever presented to take the power of appointing standing committees away from the speaker and to vest this power in a committee to be chosen by the party caucuses. Every other great deliberative body on earth—the English parliament, the French chamber of deputies, the German reichstag—appoints its standing committees through a committee on selection. A similar reform in our national house of representatives would rid the country of Crispism, Reedism and Cannonism. taking away from the speaker his political power and making him what he should be—a parliamentary officer."

Judge Crumpacker has only words of commendation for Senator Beveridge. "Throughout the tariff fight," said he, "Senator Beveridge and I worked shoulder to shoulder for the same results. We had frequent conferences and put forth every possible effort i:: good faith toward an honest revision of the schedules. "When it came to the vote on final passage, after the bill had been completed and further amendment was hopeless, I took the position that the bill, Imperfect and unsatisfactory as it was in many respects, was still an improvement over the Dingley law, which, without any new legislation, would have been left on the statute books, and I decided to vote for it. The senator, for reasons which he thought sufficient, decided to vote against it, thinking he could best serve his constituency by voting that way. He was just as honest in his opinion as I was, and I have no criticism to make of his course. "I know that as senator he has served the people well. He is-sincere, industrious, clean, able and always at his post of duty. His record as senator reflects credit on the state which has honored him with a commission in that high lawmaking body. He deserves to be returned as his own successor, and I am earnestly solicitous for his re-election.".

GREENFIELD REPUBLICAN, THURSDAY, OCTOBER ft I WO.

In Memory of Joanna Crump. She was one of five children born to John and Margaret Heim. She was born in Knightstown, Ind., October 16th, 1849. In early life she became acquainted with Christ and found Him her personal savior from sin. She united with the Methodist Protestant church at Brown's Chapel, where she lived a true christian life, and grew to womanhood.

Then she became the wife of Calvin Crump. In 1882 she stepped into a family of motherless children, threw her arms of love about them and won their affection. After she became a mother to these children, three more were born, one boy, Johnnie, who is in the spirit world, and two girls, Mrs. Rosa Shelby and Miss Eva Crump.

Some two years ago she was attacked with an affliction that baffled the skill of the best physicians. After enduring intense suffering, bearing it all with patience and christian fortitude she fell asleep. On the afternoon of September 29th, 1910 her caged spirit was loosened from the mortal house and on wings of light went to her spirit home at the age of 60 years, 11 months and 13 days.

She leaves behind her eight children, two sisters, one brother and a host of friends who will miss her, and the legacy of a good name. So many have said, "Who will take Joanna's place?" Our mother is gone, no more that tone

Will greet our coming feet, She has gone to dwell in a happier home,

Where friends in Heaven meet. 'Twas sad to part with mother dear, And take her form away, Where nature's sound alone is near,

To chant a farewell lay. Lord take from out our hearts all gloom,

Set free from doubts and fears For Oh! within the silent tomb, We have laid our mother dear. In yon lone and silent grave yard,

Where the weeping willows wave, Where we laid our dear old mother. Is a nicely builded grave. There in silence rests our mother,

Free from all the pain to come, Where these willows beckon upward, Pointing to her home, sweet home.

Alight is from our household gone, A voice we loved is still A place is vacant at our hearth,

Which never can be filled..

Mrs. Maggie Curry and Mrs. John Anderson spent Friday with Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Barrett, on route 1. Mrs. Anderson and Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Barrett spent last winter in Florida together.

Corn Market Conditions. The price of corn which ha9 been on the toboggan slide for several days has now reached 44 cents, with prospects of going lower. The buyers say it will reach the level of new corn trices. It is thought that new corn will start at about thirty-five cents, but the buyers will not engage it at that price in advance. There is said to be quite a great deal of old corn still in the country around Greenfield, which was held for a higher price when corn reached the highest point. When the price started down, the holders were reluctant to let it go, as they had been offered the top and felt that to sell for less would be a loss. This condition continued and the loss increased in proportion to the decline so they continued to hold to the corn. It is estimated that there is from 20,000 to 25,000 bushels of old com within four to five miles of Greenfield, which the holders wish they had sold when it was 20 to 25 cents on the bushel higher than it is now. One

has 5,000 bushels. There is very little corn coming to market at the price, but the prospects for a higher price soon is not good, as there is a bumper crop of corn in Hancock county which is ripening up in fine shape. It is probably not an exaggeration to say that Hancock county has the largest crop of corn in number of bushels this year that was ever raised in the county. The acreage is large, the yield is far above the average and the quality promises to be good.

Romance of the Teiepltone •The telephone, which^isjjnow taken for granted as a commonplace Jaceessorv of everyday ^life, was, hardly more than'a quarter of a century ago an unheard of thing, and had the visionary who dreamed'of its first crude form, told his dream, its Impossibility would have beenjquickly pointed out to him. The wonderful romance which Mr. Herbert N. Casson has unfolded under the title "The History of the Telephone" (just published by A. C. McClurg & Co.).iis interesting from more than one point of view, but perhaps the most fascinating aspect of the story is that which shows shows the will power of Alexander Graham Bell and his associates in overcoming apparent impossibilities by invention after invention teach necessary to counter some unforeseen difficulty.

The atorv unfolded is a remarkable one. At the present day the telephone has become as much an integral part of our daily livestas] the clock and the watch. Injthe cityjno family is without one, no business house can do a day's businessCwithout its aid, every train that moves, every ship that leaves harbor, every event on track or turf depend [upon it, doctor and patient, and lawyer and client are brought together by it. The history of this marvelous invention is one. therefore, that "concerns everybody. The volume is nicely gotten out and is now on sale at $1.50. A. C. McClurg & Co., Publishers, Chicago.
