The liquor dealers of Indianapolis have organized a Protective League for the purpose of enforcing the liquor laws. The organization proposes to enforce the law and prosecute all saloon men who violate it. There is no question but that much of the criticism apd prejudice now existing against the saloon is due to the persistent violations of law by the saloon men. There is a prejudice against any one who persistently violates the law, and it is but natural that the prejudice agains the saloon-law violators would be even stronger than that against the ordinary law violator for the reason that the saloon influences are evil and injurious even when the laws are not violated. Every law and every influence looking to the stricter regulation of the saloon and liquor influences should be welcomed. The fact that the saloon men seek to enforce the law means a growing sentiment against the saloon. Just how long the public will tolerate an institution fraught with such baleful consequences, depends entirely upon the awakening of public sentiment. The final results are certain and sure, but the time 'is obscure. In the meantime, let the people welcome every element that will aid in curbing the evil.

Republican Love Feast. Indianapolis, Ind., October 19.— Newspaper comments on the recent Republican love feast in the Sixth district at Rushville have been full of interest for Republicans of Indiana. Democratic papers have attempted to make it appear that the meeting was conceived and carried out in factionalism, but the facts show otherwise.

With National Committeeman H. S. New and State Chairman E. M. Lee prominent among the workers, seated on the stage at that meeting with Vice-President Sherman and ex-Speaker Cannon as guests with the state candidates of 1910 and the Congressional candidates of last year on the program, and with the 1908 candidate for governor, James E. Watson, as the starter of the ball, it would appear that all the demands of unity and solidarity were well met. At least this was the judgment of the Republicans who attended the gathering from 64 of the 92 counties of the state.

The meeting was a free-for-all. No man's tongue was bridled. True, it was a Taft meeting, and in the spontaneity of the Taft outburst, there was proof in plenty that Indiana is in line for the re-election of the president who had made such a wonderful record in the ^White House. At the meeting there was no attempt to demonstrate that every Republican agrees on every point of policy with every other

Republican. But it was made plain throughout that all Republicans are renewed in fidelity to the established principle of protection. -One thing can hot be denied by the most biased partisan observer. And that is the fact that the Sixth district rally was by far the most remarkable demonstration of Republican enthusiasm seen in Indi-« ana in years. This wild enthusiasm and eagerness for the fray means something. It means that Republicans in Indiana have made up their minds that the time has come tx set themselves to certain political tasks. There is large and important work to be done. Republicans are ready for it, and anxious to begin. Leadership is a minor matter, though wise leaders are not to be discarded rashly, nor are captains to be chosen blindly or on sentiment only. Rivalries of persons are being put aside. Ambitions are being sub-ordinated to the greatest needs of the time. With 1912 in view, Republicans are striving to prove that unselfishness, devotion to the greater cause of the whole people, and belief in the destiny of the Republican party, are things on which all men can get together.

Discussion of the splendid rally at Rushville naturally has led to the suggestion that Republicans in other districts pull off similar meetings. In this way the wave of enthusiasm is to be swept up and down the state. A few meetings such as that at Rushville will serve well to demonstrate that Indiana Republicans actually are up and coming, and the Democrats soon will be wondering where the thing is going to end.

There is something tangible and full of meaning back 6f meetings such as that in the Sixth district. In the first place, 1912 is another

1892. A crisis is at hand. The Republican party is called on to meet it. Indiana is a pivot state. It is time now to begin to educate the voters. It is time now to sound the battle cry and to blow the bugle for the Republican advance. This is the tenor of Republican discussion among the rank and file everywhere over the state.

And in the state, as in the nation, the people know what the Democrats have done, are doing, and what they are likely to do in the future.

Some farmers have already gathered a small amount, which is well scattered in open pens. In another week or twro this work will begin in earnest in this county. Last year the weather was favorable and nearly all the corn was cribbed before the bad weather set in. The farmers hope to repeat the experience again this year.

When once they get started, and the corn is-in proper condition, the farmers will rush this work as fast as possible, as this task is the grand finale of the season's long tedious hours of painstaking work.

It is predicted that a great deal of the corn will be marketed from the fields on account of the scarcity of hogs in some localities.

COST OF ELECTRICAL SERVICE IN THE HOME.

How much do you pay the electric light company for the privilege of reading your evening paper? You arrange the cushions in your easy chair. You place the droplight just right and turn on the current that makes the filament in the bulb glow and shed a soft yellow refulgence over the printed page that gives you your latest intelligence of the crimes of the Republican party, the misdemeanors of the Democrats, the newest outrage of the predatory rich, or the newest method of cutting a bias fold of voile to keep these modern tight, skirts from bagging at—well, where they are most likely to bag. But do you know how much you pay for the pleasure, the entertainment and the instruction you gel? To put it a little differently: Do you really know whether you buy electricity by the pint, pound or package?

Tn the November number of the Popular Mechanics Magazine, Henry Tarkington explains in clear, Concise language the puzzle of the electric light bill, and tells how the consumer may get the most out of the smallest supply of current. Several bills are figured out, as examples.

Farmer Near Kennard Says in Sale Ad That Lord Has Called Him to Service as Missionary.

Kennard, Ind. Advertising that "the Lord has called us to work in the slums and penitentiary at Michigan City," Clessie Davidson, a well known young farmer southwest of Kennard, held a public sale and disposed of all his personal property. He will leave in a short time for Michigan City, where he will be a missionary of the Holiness church.

Davidson recently became identified with the Holiness sect at the meetings conducted here by the Rev. Roscoe Earlywine. He, in one of the meetings, predicted that the world was coming to an end, and urged the people to repent.

Made Famous By Potatoes. Another use has been found for potatoes. They have made Mayor Shank, of Indianapolis, famous. His price "busting" stunt of shipping in the heretofore poor-man's friends by the car load and selling them at a very low price, has been heralded all over the world, it seems, and he is receiving offers from foreign countries to market certain and uncertain products and manufactured goods in job lots at moving prices.

There will be a beautiful flag raising in the New Palestine cemetery, October 22d at 1 o'clock p. m. The public is cordially invited— Come and enjoy the afternoon with us. A beautiful program will be given by the New Palestine schools.

Epidemic of Diphtheria is On Four Cases of Infantile Paralysis—One of Scarlet Fever.

Greensburg seems to be hard hit with disease at this time. They have been having an epidemic of diphtheria for several weeks the schools, churches and other public meeting places have been closed by the health board to prevent a. spread of the disease.

Saturday four cases of infantile paralysis, the new and dreaded disease among children were reported to the health board. One is in an acute state and three seem to be convalescent.

This disease, which has been gaining a foothold in Indiana during the past two years, is one of the most dangerous with wihch the medical profession now lias to deal. No successful treatment has ever yet been found. Tt attacks young children principally, although adults have been known to have suffered from it.

One case of scarlet fever was also reported there Saturday, together with six new cases of diphtheria. Some of the quarantines have been lifted in the city.

THE MAN IN THE BROWN DERBY

By Wells Hastings, Joint Author with Brian Hooker, of "The Professor's Mystery"—Illustrated by

Herman Pfeifer $1.25 net—The Bobbs Merrill Company, Indianapolis, Indiana. The romantic situation is piquant —There is a bang at the end of each chapter. Nancy Bond's presence adds a degree of charm to the pages that is without comparison. A mystery story related with unusual power, original philosophy, hints of poetry, and undeniable humor and a hero whose hands have been marked with red from his birth.

The title of this remarkable story? "The Man in the Brown Derby."

Wells Hastings, the author, has already won his laurels as a novelist by his tale "The Professor's Mystery," written in collaboration with Brian Hooker, his classmate at Yale.

Mason Ellsworth, a penniless young man, well born, college-bred, but made desperate through his repeated rebuff's by the world, because of his horribly disfigured hands, sees a strange advertisement in a newspaper and it leads him to Nancy Bond. A vista of extraordinary events opens up. They are the kind of adventure that every reader finds most attractive—the kind that deals with exciting happenings in the midst of civilized surroundings, for the contrast thus afforded adds to the piquancy of the thrills. Who is the mysterious man in the brown derby? Who is the attractive character, Ogilby—mysterious, too, cheery benevolent, living in a garret with incongruously handsome rugs and furniture, with his birds hopping about? What woman can equal delightful Mrs. Lathrop, that little robin of a woman, bred in the lap of decorum and yearning to be a highwaymen? She takes rank with Mrs. Rinehart's "Tish Carberry," with Mrs. Rice's "Mrs. Wiggs," with Frank Stockton's "Mrs. Leeks and Mrs. Aleshine." There can be no higher praise for her. She is as full of good sense as she is oi good fun and as full of good feeling as both. In her little village she thirsts for adventure and starts off on the slightest provocation to find it. Her ingenious ways of accomplishing her ends and her wise remarks by the -way are a joy.

But the story itself is the thing. One's curiosity is piqued at the abrupt beginning and kept alive to the end. The pace starts with a jump, is accelerated in the middle and sweeps the reader along in the rush of climax and conclusion. The story is told directly, simple, flowingly. The author has literary style in a rare degree. The shopworn phrase, the dulled adjective and the bromidic expression are not for him. He "knows his business" and the result is that "The Man in the Brown Derby" is treasure trove among books.

The events in the sanatorium register the high gauge of excitement. The girl, Nancy, and the young man with the red hands furnish entertainment for the reader such as is to be found not once in a blue moon.

Farmer Hangs Himself. Alonzo Roby, a prominent farmer of Hamilton county, south of Noblesville, hanged himself Tuesday to a rafter in his barn. Ill health is given as the cause of the suicide.

Lectures at Shiloh.

Rev. Dr. Hovvheanness Mugurrdeetch Cheeneegaozyaan, B. L., M. D., is a native Armenian. His Armenian name translated into English means John Baptist. He is unquestionably one of the greatest orators of his race. He was working for the court photographer to the Sultan of Turkey for a number of years, which position he held at the time of the Armenian massacre. While engaged in this work he met the greatest men of every nation, and has many interesting experiences to relate, thus enriching his lectures with personal and thrilling incidents. He escaped the terrible massacre by disguising him self as a Turk.

Believing that Divine Providence had protected him, he made his escape to America, where he has been spending his time lecturing. He is a graduate of the School of the Evangelists, Kimberlin Heights, Tenn., from which institution he received his B. L. degree. Also of Central Medical College of Physicians and Surgeons of Indianapolis, Tnd., with the degree of M. D., and also has taken a post-graduate course in Butler University of the same place. He speaks five different languages fluently, and has lectured before the greatest universities of this country, and the largest cities of thirty-five states have listened to his lectures with profound interest. He has also spoken in Chautauqua and at great summer assemblies in the United States and Canada.

He will lecture at Shiloh church, Monday evening, October 23d, on "Oriental Weddings." Twenty-five persons will appear in native costumes.

STOCK MARKET

HOGS SOLD WELL AT THE START, THEN WEAKENED.

A Few at $7 Ordinary Lights as Low as $5.85—Cattle Are Generally Steady.

Receipts, 9,500 hogs, 1,000 cattle, 350 calves, 1,150 sheep, against 8,799 hogs, 1,733 cattle, 595 calves and 544 sheep a week ago, and 5,959 hogs, 1,133 cattle, 723 calves and 584 sheep a year ago.

Although there was another big run of hogs there was a scarcity of well finished kinds weighing 200 pounds and upward. There were several urgent outside orders for that class and they sold on the start at strong to higher prices. Light hogs were neglected, and after the first hour trading was slow and the prices irregular. Few were quoted steady, and some were 15c lower. I lie close was weak for all kinds. A few butcher hogs sold as high as *7.00, ordinary light as low as •$5.85 and the bulk of the supply at $6.35 to $6.80.

With only about 1,400 cattle and calves available for sale, the run was small for this time in the week. Cows and heifers sold to a little better advantage than steers, but all fat cattle are fully as high as the close of last week. The market for stockers and feeders was no better, bulls were steady and calves steady to 25c lower.

There were about 1,000 sheep and lambs in the arrivals available for sale, a good supply compared with recent runs. Buyers were particular in making selections and trading was quiet, but nearly steady at the decline heretofore this week. No lambs were reported above $5.25: or sheep above $3.25, which represents a loss of 25c to 50c from s» week ago.
