GREENFIELD REPUBLICAN

PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY

Catered at the postoffice, Greenfield, Ind., as •eeond class matter.

NEWTON R. SPENCER, Editor and Proprietor.

There are many people who become angry about what the newspapers say about them, but they are never grateful for the many things that the newspaper knows about them and does not say.

The frauds which have been exposed in the management of the city of Gary is simply another lesson to the public of how shamefully some public officials betray the confidence of the people, who, trusting them, have elected them to lucrative positions. Little by little, slowly but surely, the people are being educated up to the point that if they would be rid of so much wrong in public positions, they must, discriminate between honest and dishonest candidates. That men must not only be capable of discharging the duties of their office, but they must be strictly honest in the discharge of such duties. With the many improvements which people enjoy these progressive days, it is but natural that taxes should be higher than formerly, when there were but few public improvements, but if all graft were cut out of national, state, county, township and city affairs throughout the whole country, and public business were done as carefully and economically as a private business, the tax burden would be lessened. To produce that reform is the duty of the people.

Amusements.

Next week at B. F. Keith's theater at Indianapolis, formerly known as the Grand, one of the biggest shows of the year will be offered to vaude ville patrons. The headline attraction is Lolo, a beautiful Sioux Indian maiden, who possesses remarkable mystic powers in revealing facts of hidden personal nature. Another big feature will be the appearance of "The Fire Commissioner," a splendid dramatic novelty which has recently scored heavily in New7 York. Raymond, Burton and Bain will be seen in their genuinely funny sketch and Carson & Willard portray the characters of two Germans who invade China, with numerous comic complications The four Regals are sterling German athletes who offer surprising feats of skill and strength. A1 Carleton is one of vaudeville's finest monologists and general entertainers. A happy surprise is offered by the Carroll-Gilette troupe. The show will conclude with a splendid display of motion pictures recently imported from Europe and projected by the famous photoplane daylight process. d&w

CANNED GOODS GOING UP.

Big Canneries Send Out Warning to All Grocers.

Along with sugar and other necessities in things to eat, warnings ate now being sent out that canned goods will increase by next spring twenty-five per CTmt. in cost, and of course the consumer will foot the bill. The grocers are the ones who have received the first warning, as in stocking up for the winter the houses report that canned goods will make a big jump. Canneries have found it hard to get the fruit and vegetables and grocers have in many cases not got their full consignment.

It is said that ten cent peas will be unknown and that corn, tomotoes and other lines will make a general advance.

The Man Who Has Learned the Value

DETECTIVES REPORT NO BLIND TIGERS

Can Be Found at Kniglitstown—No Sales By Foreigners—Beer Secured By "Chipping In."

H. H. Evans, prosecuting attorney, was in Knightstown today investigating the blind tiger cases in the Wayne township metropolis, says the New Castle Courier. He also took up with the temperance element there the report of Detectives Louis Wein, Sr., and Lcftiis Wein, Jr., and Mrs. Louis Wein, Jr., who made an investigation of the conditions in Knightstown and reported Friday that there were no blind tigers there.

In their report the detectives, who returned the affidavits against the New Castle druggists before the local option election here, stated that they spent several days in Knightstown. They stated that there was absolutely no beer being sold unlawfully, and that the illegal sales were confined to the drug stores, naming two druggists as the violators.

The Weins reported that they visited the Italian quarter south of the Pennsylvania railroad, and there talked with the foreigners in their own language. The daugh-ter-in-law was introduced to the Italians as an actress, who wras ill and who needed beer. The foreigners kindly gave her two bottles, but refused to accept pay for them. Later the detectives returned and secured another bottle, but again could not pay for the intoxicants. The Italians told the Weins that they did not sell beer to Americans and that their supply was for their boarders and was secured by the "chipping in" process.

SETTLE CLAIMS SPEEDILY.

Railroads in United States Pay Out $30,000,000 a Year in Damages.

It is estimated that the railroads of the United States pay out about $30,000,000 a year in claims for lost, damaged, or stolen properly. As claims have grown with the volume of traffic, the companies have sought to devise systems for adjusting them with the minimum of delay, and there is active rivalry among the railroads to achieve records for prompt settlement, says an article in the New York Times.

The Lehigh Valley, which keeps a careful check on its records, reported last week that it now settles ov&r 70 per cent, of all claims within a month after they are filed. This is the result of the policy of cutting out all unnecessary "red tape" after the facts are established.

Promptness in getting at the facts is the corner stone of the system and a means of large savings by the claim department. If a freight car is derailed, for example, a man is on the scene as soon as the wrecking crew. He takes stock of everything in the car, finds- out what is damaged or destroyed, and has the freight that is still in good condition sent on to its destination. Then the company is prepared to settle.

Sometimes it is possible to recover property and satisfy a claim with the actual consignment. A year or so ago, when a pier in Jersey City burned, about $20,000 worth of copper-sank into the harbor mud. First the claim department sent a diver down to look for it,
