We do not believe that there has been a period in the political history of the United States since that antedating the Civil War, when there were so many good things being said by reformers, as now.
One can not but think that Mayor Shank, of Indianapolis, is playing politics in his markets, and hot coffee and soup schemes, but still it is a pretty practical way of playing the game. One thing sure, he is helping those who need to be helped and those who are injured by it are of a class who can take care of themselves.
The Democrats have presented another county ticket to the voters. They have not only named the tickets, with one exception (1886), but they have elected the tickets they have named for the past fifty years. Reasoning from the past, it is but natural to conclude that the ticket named will be elected. When a party has a strong majority in a county that fact of itself should stimulate it to select the very best possible material, but it is not the rule. On the contrary, an undefeated majority usually results in inefficiency and extravagance.
The county ticket nominated last week was as strong as the average ticket. There was good material to select from and the ticket contains some good strong men of the party. We do not think the ticket is as strong as it could have been made. There were many good men defeated, some of whom, we believe, would have made better candidates and better officers than some that were nominated.
The Republicans of Hancock county have already heard Democrats say: "Now, you fellows nominate a good man for a certain office or for certain offices, and we will elect them. We feel like swatting such fellows. We have heard that same thing talked for a Quarter of a century, and not in that whole time has there been a single Republican elected to a county office by the voters of the people of Hancock county. Our advice is to toll such persons to tie their "animal" outside. The Democrats have elected worse tickets than they made last Saturday, and at the same time they defeated as good men as can now or ever will be found in the Republican party in Hancock county. The Republicans will present a ticket at the November election and it is to be hoped that it will be made up of the very best material in the party, but it will not be that way because some Democrat, sore because he did not get what he wanted in his own party, asks for it. Every party should nominate its best men for office. The Republicans, by doing so in Hancockcounty, even though they invariably go down in defeat, will at least maintain their own self respect. Democrats have never been barred from voting for good Republicans for county offices, and wre only regret that more of them have not availed themselves of the opportunity. If they had, conditions would be better, and this statement is not made purely from the partisan sUfdpoint, but on the theory that where party success depends upon good administration, greater
N
care
will be exercised by those in control.' It is just as true of one party as the other, and when people can rise above their prejudices and vote for their own interest, they will remove many of the political wrongs which now exist everywhere.

NO SEINE PERMIT RENEWALS.
Action of Commissioner Miles Following Many Protests. State Fish and Game Commissioner Miles has declined to renew any permits issued to persons last year for the holding and use of seines for taking carp and similar fish from streams. The seines held under the permits are either being destroyed or converted into fly nets for farm horses. The decision not to reijew followed a protest made by sportsmen over the state, who claim the seines, while purchased for a perfectly proper purpose were being used by the holders for taking all kinds of fish from the Indiana streams.

TWO ESPECIALLY BUILT NEW RACING AUTOMOBILES
Indianapolis, Ind. Two special motor speed creations, which bid fair to mark a new epoch in the building of racing automobiles, have been entered in the second annual 500-mile International Sweepstakes race to be run Decoration Day, May 30th, at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, by the J. I. Case Threshing Machine Company, of Racine, Wis. The entry was made on New Year's day and is the first to be made for any race in the year 1912. The two cars which the Case Company entered for the live-century grind are to be constructed along lines followed by the most successful European racing car manufacturers, and will introduce two new features, inasmuch as they wTill have wire wheels, and a specially constructed left-hand drive which has not been used heretofore. The general lines of construction which will be followed out, promise to make the cars the most spectacular in appearance yet built in America.
The engineers at the Case factory assert the speed which these two cars will be able to attain will not be less than two miles per minute on the straightaways, and that they will be able to negotiate the full two and one-half mile distance of the Motor Speedway at the rate of 100 miles per hour. Louis Disbrow, the famous Eastern driver, and Joe Jagersberger, the "Flying Dutchman" have bfen named to pilot the entries.
This latest entry brings the total now named for the big race up to six, the other entries being two Stutz cars, entered by the Ideal Motor Car Company, of Indianapolis a Fiat entered by E. E. Hewlett, of Los Angeles, Cal., and a ninety h-p Mercedes, entered by Ralph De Palma, of New York.
COLDS VANISH.
The Sensible Overnight Remedy for Sensible People.
After you have upset your stomach with pills, powders and vile nostrums and still retain possession of that terrible cold, do what thousands of sensible people are doing. Do this:
Into a bowl three quarters full of boiling water, pour a scant teaspoonful of HYOMEI (pronounce it High-o-me), cover head and bowl with a towel and breathe for five minutes the soothing, healing vapor that arises.
Then go to bed and awake with a clear head in the morning. HYOMEI does not contain opium, cocaine or any harmful drug. A bottle of HYOMEI Inhalant costs 50 cents at V. L. Early's and druggists everywhere. Guaranteed for catarrh, asthma, croup and catarrhal deafness. janl0-d3
REVIVAL SERVICES AT MT. LEBANON M. P. CHURCH.

Remember, Saturday and Sunday, January 21st and 22d, is the quarterly meeting to be held at the Mt. Lebanon church. John S. Clawson, pastor.

Obituary.
Anna Marie, beloved wife of Henry Spier, was born in Hancock county, Sugar Creek township, Indiana, July 13th, in the year of our Lord, 1858. She was born and raised on the old homestead of her father, William Waltke, one and one half miles north of New Palestine. In those days help was scarce, so she, with her sister, helped to cultivate the ground and attended school whenever they could, at the German Lutheran school in the German settlement, under the teaching of Rev. Ivuntz.
At the age of 14, on the 29th day of March, 1872, she was confirmed in the German Lutheran church. In the year 1884, on the 20th of April, she was joined in holy wedlock with Henry Spier, with whom she lived a happy and Christian life. She was blessed with seven children, three sons and four daughters, one daughter having gone on before to meet her at the Golden Gate.
She was a member of the German Lutheran church and was a stanch advocate of its doctrines. She was always and at all times willing to do her duty to help the church and attended whenever she was able to go. She loved her children and was loved by all who knew her. She was in fair health and in the last year her health was much improved and this brought joy into the hearts of the father and children, but, alas, on the night of December 29th, she took sick suddenly with pneumonia. After an illness of only three days, and on the morning of January 2d, she died peacefully in her Sovior's arms.
She is survived by her loving husband. six children, two sisters, one son-in-law. one granddaughter and a host of relatives and friends to mourn her departure. She reached the age of 53 years, 5 months and 19 days.
The funeral was held Thursday, January 4th, at the German Lutheran church. Interment at the Lutheran cemetery. Rev. Markworth, pastor.
Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep, From which none ever wake to weep A calm and undisturbed repose, Unbroken by the last of foes.
Asleep in Jesus Oh, how sweet, To be for such a slumber meet, With holy confidence to sing, That Death has lost its venomed sting.
Asleep in Jesus, peaceful rest, Whose waking is supremely blest No fear, no woe shall dim that hour That manifests the Savior's power.
Asleep in Jesus, Oh, for me May such a blissful refuge be, Securely shall my ashes lie, And wait the summons from on high. —A Friend.
RURAL MAIL CARRIERS BARRED FROM POLITICS.
Are Not Denied the Right of Political Belief, But Must Not Become Active Workers.
Several thousand rural free delivery letter carriers are barred from active participation in politics by an executive order signed by President Taft. It forbids the rural letter carriers from pernicious activity in politics and empowers the Civil Service Commission to dismiss any found to be so engaged. The rural carriers, like all other postoffice employes, are not to be denied- the right of political belief and discussion of candidates and issues, but their active participation in political affairs will be stopped. The term "pernicious activity in politics" is an elastic one and in the past has worked on other classes of federal employes as an effectual bar from politics.

B. F. Keith's Show.
Will M. Cressy and Blanche Dayne who stand in the forefront of the vaudeville favorites, will be featured at B. F. Keith's theater at In- I dianapolis, the week of January 15.1 Mr. Cressy has attained great pop-| ularity in variety as a portrayer of eccentric American characters of rural types, favoring, to a large extent, the simon-pure Yankee of New England. In addition lo writing all his own sketches, Mr. Cressy is the author of a score of playlets now being used by other successful vaudeville stars.
As a treat for children, Mr. Keith has secured Rickey's Comedy Circus, an importation of trained animals coming from England, where it has been headlined for several seasons. H. T. MacConnell, "the president of the 13 club," is a surprising monologist, whose novelties have recently met with emphatic success throughout eastern houses. The Clark trio are novelty musicians who offer a bright program on the lute, guitar, piano, banjo and viola. Coakley, Hanvey and Dunleavy have appeared with all the higher grade minstrel shows for the past fifteen years. They are offering in vaudeville a fast little tabloid called "Town Hall Minstrels." Ros. Crouch and George Welsh have a merry whirligig of songs, dialog and acrobatic dancing. Wynne Brothers are Herculean gymnasts, whose unconcerned manner of the work has won for them the sobriquet of "the froid athletes." Siems is a Danish conjurer, who employs new methods to demonstrate the old maxim that "the hand is quicker than the eye, ladies and gentlemen."
B. F. Keith's theater will be open Sunday afternoon and evening with programs by professional singers and dancers, supplemented by the latest importations of motion views.
THE STOCK MARKET
SIXTEEN THOUSAND HOGS ON SALE PRICES LOWER.
Local Packers the Buyers at Decline of Fifteen Cents—Some Cattle 10c Lower.
Receipts, 14,000 hogs, 1,400 cattle, 300 calves and 600 sheep, against 12,382 hogs, 2,424 cattle, 560 calves and 568 sheep a week ago, and 6,647 hogs, 1,236 cattle, 358 calves and 495 sheep a year ago.
With 2,000 hogs carried over, and around 14,000 fresh receipts, the supply on sale was much larger than at any time recently, and with an absence of liberal orders from outside sources, there were more than local packers have been taking daily. They forced prices 15c lower. Sales of ordinary light hogs were as low as $6.00, and the top was $6.40, while the bulk of them sold from $6.20 to $6.35, or about the same as last Friday.
Receipts of cattle were not large, but the demand was not as good as it has been heretofore this week, and the supply was equal to all requirements in all departments. The steers were most neglected and in not a few cases were 10c lower. Most of the female butcher cattle continued on about a steady level, but now and then sales were also 10c lower. There was a quiet market for feeding slock on account of the limited demand. Bulls were steady and there was 25c loss in prices of calves.
