Claud W. Fort, James F. Reed,

Secretary. Chairman.

There is one old-fashioned thing that is quite common the house that -is as cold as a barn in winter.

Election day is the time to right public wrongs. A voter can do more by voting right on election day than he can by kicking for the next two years. The rule should be to vote right or forever hold our peace.

Voters who move from one township to another now will lose their vote, as a residence of sixty days in a township is required. Under the Indiana election laws a man to become a voter must have been a resident six months of state prior'to an election a resident of the township sixty days and a resident of the precinct in which he votes thirty days prior to the election.

If the people would have public affairs conducted right let them go to the polls without any shackles upon their political freedom and vote for men and measures which they think are right and in the interest of the public. What is the use to expect public matters to be properly conducted when the individual goes to the polls and votes for things and men whom he knows are wrong.

The weather indications seem to warrant the belief that the rain is over for awhile at least. Farmers say the wet spell is likely to result seriously to the potato crop. It is estimated that it will be nearly a week before the ground is dry enough to dig potatoes and it is feared that many of them will rot in the meantime. Indications seem to point to the fact that potatoes will be high the coming winter. They are already selling at a dollar a bushel.

An inventive genius has gotten up a contrivance that ought to sell like hot cakes in church circles. It is in the shape of a contribution box, and certainly is a triumph in its way, says an exchange. The coins fall through slots of diffdrent sizes, and all dollars, halves, quarters and dimes fall on velvet, but the nickles and pennies fall on a Chinese gong. It is needless to say that it will never be popular with the man who believes "salvation is free"and practices it by never patronizing the contribution box.

tire country is progressing very smoothly. There is no especial enthusiasm and no excitement. "Even where radical differences exist between the leaders and the voters within parties and between the different parties, there is an unusual absence of strife and- bitterness. Reason and sanity prevails. The people seem to be holding the reins. If radical political leaders are not intimidated they are at least so solicitous of results as to be exceedingly desirous of meeting the demands of the people.

PRISON SUNDAY

This office is in receipt of a pamphlet from the Board of State Charities. The pamphlet was prepared for the the clergymen of the State who desire to observe "Prison Sunday."

The purpose of "Prison Sunday" is to instruct the public concerning the criminal laws, the administration of prisons, the treatment of the discharged prisoner, and measures designed to be preventative of crime.Our state penal and correctional institutions are in excellent condition, but our county jail system is a continual reproach, and the laws for the protection of children are but little known. The principal obstacle to progress is the indifference of the public, and this exists because of lack of knowledge, lack of a feeling of responsibility. When the magnitude of of the crime problem is realized, when good men and women realize the possibility of preventing crime and of restoring criminals, they will be deeply interested in the work. October 30th hasSbeen selected as Prison Sunday and it is the hope of the Board of State Charities that every minister of the State will preach on some subject relative to some phase of prison work. Copies of this interesting pamphlet will be mailed to any ministers desiring it, free of charge.

The people of Indiana have occasion to be proud of the advanced position taken by their State in prison reform, and in the excellent management of the penal and benevolent institutions of the State.

Amusements

Miss Ethel Barrymore, in the new Pinero play, "Mid-Channel," will be seen at English's opera house, Indianapolis, on Friday and Saturday, October 21 and 22, with a Saturday matinee. The verdict is that the role of "Zoe Bundell" in the greatest success of her brilliant career. It is hardly necessary here to go into detail about the merits of the play as the name of Ethel Barrymore is enough by itself to insure packed houses. d&w

Opera house all next week: The Jolly Players open an engagement for the week Monday night, October 17. This company departs from the usual line of blood and thunder plays produced by the ordinary stock company and gives an entire new line of plays, consisting of musical comedies, farce comedies, and high class melodramas.

The Jolly Blossoms, a chorus of real singing and dancing girlies, is a special feature, and will be seen in each bill.

The biggest musical show on tour this season, Lew Fields' big produc tion of "The Jolly Bachelors" will be the attraction at the Shubert Murat Theatre, Indianapolis, for the entire week beginning Monday, October, 17. No other city in the state will be visited by this monster organization because of its tremendous size and the excessive cost of transportation. A special train of ten cars is required to carry the company and production. "The jolly Bacholors" ran nearly all of last winter at. the Broadway Theatre, New York. Its lavishness and opulence made even the blase theatregoers of the metropolis sit up and take proverbial notice. Instead of the two or three changes of setting shown in the ordinary musical show there are no less than seven complete changes in "The Jolly Bachelors." Among the spectacular surprises are views of a three decked ocean liner, the flight of an airship crowded with passengers through amaze of clouds, a college dormitory with two score students revealed in their rooms on four floors and the interior of a big drug store.

A company of exactly 116 persons interprets the piece. There are exactly twenty singing and dancing numbers and six specialties with musical accompaniment. Heading the cast is that most unctions and jovial of comediennes, Stella Mayhew. Others in the company include Lucy Weston, Al Leech, Billie Taylor, Nat Fields, Harold Crane, Roy Atwell, Norman Tharp, Florence Topham and Maude Gray.

Mail orders are now being filled in the order of their receipt when accompnied by postal or express money order made payable to Shurbert Murat Theatre and a self-addressed stamped envelope. The night prices are 50c, 75c, $1.00, $1.50 and $2.00. There are 500 seats on the lower floor at $1.00 each. The prices at the popular Wednesday matinee are 50c to $1.00. The seat sale opens at the box office of the theatre and at Huder's Drug Store on Thursday morning at nine o'clock.

The performance will be over in ample time to permit patrons from out of town to catch the last cars leaving Indianapolis for their respective homes.

The Monday night performance has been sold to the Mystic Shriners and on that occasion admittance will be restricted to members of that organization.

Ila Wilson, of Green township, who has owned two tracts of land in Southern Texas for more than one year, shipped his household goods to Brownsville, Texas, this week and was in Indianapolis Wednesday arranging for tickets for himself and wife. They will leave for their new home next Tuesday.

Mrs. Dan Wirts, of this city, is quite sick with typhoid fever.

Porter Anderson and Claude Whii attended the horse show at Morristown today.
