CHAS. GATELY, Secretary.

We sometimes think that Democrats do not have confidence in their ability to manage the affairs of the United States. With the prospects most flattering for the election of a Democratic president, not many Democrats seem much delighted. We just wonder if they have visions of the country's (experience under the Wilson-Gorman law.

There is just one thing for 'the Republicans of the United States to do, and that is to stand faithfully by the principles of their party. Those principles command the rfespect of the voters of the country, and while they may be lost sight of for a time in the midst of much political bluster and noise, still, when the roar of the political storm and campaign has passed, when depression in business sets in, the people can be relied upon to right the wrongs. They will again return to the party of prosperity.

This year, as in other campaign years, the elections in Vermont and Maine have afforded the people of the country arid the political: parties their first* opportunity to see the real trend of political sentiment as indicated by a vote of the people. There is nothing particularly sensational in the results.' In Vermont the Democrats gained, as they might be expected to do when the Republican party—the majority party, is split in two. The Progressive party took the third place in the votes which would hfyve been considered a good showing had not the Progressive leaders predicted that they would carry the state. The Republican party elected*'its ticket. Briefly, the results show Democratic gains, but not more

than the conditions warranted. The Progressives, while splitting the Republican party, were not able to defeat it—indicating that it does not represent the masses of the people in that state, as it so persistently claimed.

In Maine, there were only two tickets in the field. The Republicans and Progressives worked together as one party, and defeated the Democrats who had the Governor, a United States Senator and two Congressmen. The Democrats elected only one Congressman. The results are not such as to dismay the Republican party.

The death of John P. Murphy at his home near Mohawk Friday night, not only removes one of the few veterans of the Civil War, but also one of Hancock county's best citizens. He was a brave soldier, when as a young man he enlisted in defense of the government. He was a good, kind neighbor and friend, and a straight forward, honest citizen. -He was a very interesting man to talk with and& often gave information about the Civil War and pioneer days in Marion and Hancock counties, which was always read with interest.

For the Good of the People Only. The Bull Moose Punch and Judy show, now running for the edification of the American people, is somewhat beyond the ordinary exhibition of that character. With Roosevelt and Beveridge in front of the curtain, and George W. Perkins, of the Harvester Trust, and Frank W. Munsey of the Steel Trust behind the scenes, furnishing the financial steam to keep the thing going, there can be no doubt that this highly dramatic enterprise was organized, and staged, solely for the BENTFIT OF THE PEOPLE. With two such unambitious actors on the stage, and two such unselfish promoters furnishing the financial backing, could it be possible that the good of the dear people is not the only end in view? Perish the thought! —Contributed.

Now and Then.

server, the question naturally arises "What has happened within the two years that have since elapsed to justify the course that these two gentlemen are now pursuing?" Has

Two years ago, when Beveridge was a candidate for re-election to the U. S. Senate, he and Roosevelt traveled over the state, making many speeches in which the- principles and policies of the Republican party were vindicated, and extolled in the most forcible and eloquent manner, their principal object then being to ^secure the election of a Republican majority in the next Legislature, in order to the election of Beveridge to the UXS. Senate as his own successor—j held in Michigan week before last, And, in the mind of the curious ob- in which the Republicans polled

Both of these sweet-scented reformers claimed to be Republicans, and were ostensibly acting in good faith with the party, until the fore part of June, this year, and until each had failed to receive the favor he was asking at its hands.

mmmm

Were these men Republicans, as they pretended to be, when they were severally seeking a place in, and preferment at the hands of said convention in June, last, or were they fraudulently palming themselves off as such? If they were Republicans, then what has happened, excepting the defeat of their above-mentioned aspirations, and the consequent pride-smashing disappointment that was thus given to them, PERSONALLY, that will account for their declaration of-war against the party to which each of them is so deeply indebted? The principals of the Republican party have not changed since last June, but the course of Beveridge and Roosevelt has. If they secretly entertained the principals and favored the policies they are now advocating at the time they were seeking the favors above mentioned from the Republican party, they were then nothing less than a couple of living, walking, breathing frauds, seeking personal preferment under fraudulent pretenses. If, on the other hand, they were then in fact Republicans in principal, as they pretended to be, and they have left the party and organized a rebellion because of PERSONAL disappointment, and crushed ambition, they must nevertheless be accounted as a couple of unconscionable pretenders. —Contributed.

Some Straws.

FIRST The election in Maine this week, in which the Republicans elected the Governor and three out of four Congressmen, and also a majority in both branches of the Legislature, thus making sure the election of a Republican successor of the Democrat now in the U. S. S.enate from that state.

SECOND The election in Vermont last week in which the Republican vote was a little more than twenty-six thousand

there been any change in the prin- which not a single Progressive vote ciples, or policies, of the party within that time? Absolutely none. Are there any more "bosses" in the party now than there were then? Certainly not. In fact, there are TWO less. What then, has been the real reason of the wonderful conversion of these two political Pharisees? The ansjver in either case is easy. As to Beveridge—at the election in 1910, by an overwhelming vote of the people, his prospect for a third term in the Senate was completely annihilated, and by this, to him, unexpected blow, he seems to have been dazed beyond recovery, for by his erratic course thereafter he so badly lost out with the party that, though an active candidate for the place, he could not be elected as a delegate to the national convention held at Chicago in June, last. The reason of Roosevelt's defection is equally plain. He was a candidate for nomination for the presidency by said National Convention at Chicago, and in order to secure the same, he resorted to many unworthy and unprecedented methods beneath the dignity of any man, aspiring to such an honor. He was defeated, as he justly deserved to be. Hence the ROOSEVELT REBELLION.

Democratic vote a little over twenty thousand, and the so-called Progressive vote less than sixteen thousand, and in which the Republicans elected every member of the State Senate and one hundred and ten members of the House of Representatives, the Democrats electing forty-seven, and the so-called Progressives fourteen only.

THIRD—The primary election in the State of Washington last week in which the so-called Progressives polled less than five per cent.—less than one-twentieth of the three hundred and seventy-five thousand votes that were cast at said election.

FOURTH—The primary election

more than one hundred and fortyfive thousand votes to about six thousand and five hundred cast by the so-called progressives, or more than twenty-two to one and in

was cast in more than fifty counties of said state. The man whcr can draw comfort and encouragement for the socalled Progressives from these facts must be as highly endowed as was the inventive genius who developed the process for extracting sunbeams from green cucumbers. ^—————i

MURAT THEATER

The difference between careful stage management and haphazard work is well illustrated in the case of "A Butterfly on the Wheel," which was produced in New York last season by Lewis Waller, the English actor-manager, under Shubert auspices. This is a drama by. Edward G. Hemmerde, K. C., and Francis Neilsori, M. P., which had a long run in London with Lewis Waller in the leading role. When Mr. Waller came to New York to appear in "The Garden of Allah" he brought with him the American rights for "A Butterfly on the Wheel" and early in the season brought out the piece at the Thirty Ninth Street theater. Its success was immediate. Now that its long run in New York has come to a termination, Mr. Waller is sending the company on tour, and it will be seen at the Murat theater the entire week of September 16th, with matinees Wednesday and Saturday. "A Butterfly on the Wheel" is a story of the wife of a member of British Parliament, who commits a slight indiscretion. This, however, is sufficient for the husband to sue for divorce, and the big scene in the play shows the court room with the "butterfly" on the witness stand. The prosecution has gathered an abundance of evidence, much of which has been gained by hired detectives. It is. the endeavor of the prosecuting attorney to handle the witness as roughly as possible

by means fair or unfair hold her up in the eyes of the court and the jury as a guilty woman.

As the cake progresses it is evident that the sympathy of the audience is with the witness, yet the same feeling is not to be found on the stage, for, although she makes frequent appeals to the mercy of the court, she is told to answer questions and not offer criticism. In the end she breaks down under the fire of the fierce cross-examina-tion.

The play is told in four acts, the first two taking place in a room in a Paris hotel, where the wife, owing to peculiar circumstances, finds herself alone with the man who is named as co-respondent. The fourth act, which takes place in the home of the member of Parliament, brings about a happy reconciliation, and it should be said, a perfectly natural one, for the husband is not slow in recognizing the great injustice he has done his wife by suspecting her of guilt and subjecting her to the horrors of the trial.

The prices for this engagement will be $1.50, $1.00, 75c and 50c, with a popular matinee Wednesday.

B. F. KEITH'S THEATER There are so many acts of established reputation on the Metropolitan Vaudeville bill at B. F. Keith's theater, Indianapolis, beginning September 16th, that it is difficult to assign headline honors in advance to any one offering.

One of the best known entertainers to appear is Stuart Barnes, the favorite Broadway monologist, who comes with a batch of entirely new fun. Mason, Keeler & Company have another feature, "In and Out," which is usually given headline position on most bills. Then, Fay, Two Coleys and Fay are almost universally considered one of the greatest acts in vaudeville wath their funny travesty called, "From Uncle Tom to Vaudeville." In the field of expert juggling, none has achieved such renown as Salerno, whom Indianapolis theater-goers all know and who returns this season with a number of new and highly clever feats. Earl and Curtis have a bright quarter hour's fun in their "smilecomedy," called "The Girl and the Drummer." Phil Staats, "the man at the piano" is a wonderful instrumentalist who not only plays well, but abundant fun into his work. The Parrel sisters, three muscular French girls, will close the show with their thrilling novelty ring act, and the famous Kremka brothers will begin the bill with diverting comedy acrobatics.

Keith's theater will be open on Sunday afternoon and evening with programs offered by professional singers, instrumentalists, and the latest imported motion pictures.

"That Ain't No Patch!"

The ladies stopped the little boy whose legs were brier-scratched, And marveled at the funny way his little pants were patched. "Why did they patch with white?" they asked, "and not use brown, instead?" The sma]^ boy scowled and touched the spot.- "That ain't no patch," he said. —Dallas News.

Mrs. Zetta Sample, of North East Street,, who has been sick for some time, is reported as better.

WHEAT GRADE POOR SOME IS UNSALEABLE

Dealers Not Willing To Pay 45 Cents For Some Offered— Would Re Worth More

For Feeding.

Wheat is grading in several classes. The grain of the crop was naturally pretty good, but the rain damaged that which stood in the fields for several weeks. Tuesday wheat was offered for sale at one of the Greenfield elevators for which the buyers were not willing to pay 45 cents. The buyers say that there is some wheat that they do not want at any price. They insist that it can not be handled except at considerable risk. They think such wheat would be worth more to the farmers for feed than to sell to the elevators.

About all the wheat and oats are now thrashed. Several machines had a few jobs the first of this week, but they are practically all done now. The oats crop was very large and the oats thrashed after the rains were better than expected. The oats averaged from 23 to 70 bushels per acre.

There was only one person who knew anything about the man and that was his traveling companion, Albert Collins, who did not know his name or anything about his personal history, except that he came from England.

The average weight of eggs is about eight to a pound, s.o that a dozen eggs would weigh about one and one-half pounds. A pound of eggs contains mote nourishment than a pound of meat. There is no flesh food that may be served in so many palatable ways as eggs, nor as easily obtained by farmers. Eggs are a perfect food and contain all the constituent elements of nourishment.

Good Grain Reing Held. The buyers of grain report that there is very little really good wheat coming to market. Much that is being offered is in such a condition that the dealers would rather not buy it. The good wheat has been put, in the bins and is being held for higher prices.

The price on oats has dropped a little on account of the condition of the grain.

THE CANNING FACTORY

The following communication is from Dr. C. A. Robinson on the canning factory subject and will be of general interest at this time: "Over and over again, upon my return from trips to various parts of Indiana and Ohio, I have set forth in detail the great advantages I have personally seen from canning factories, located almost everywhere, it seems, except in the prettiest city I have ever seen and that is Greenfield. "I fear that some of our people have failed to grasp the magnitude of the business and the boundless benefit a canning factory would be to the people of our city as well as our county. As I write this I am in a city that has one of the best canning factories in the state of Ohio and you might as well attempt to move the B. and 0. railroad shops from Chillicothe, Ohio, as to move the canning factory, for everything it touches, or that touches it, or that can be canned, is turned into money, the result being one of the most profitable industries that could be established and one that sends money in every direction and in great quantities. "Two months ago, when I was here, the farmers were hauling big loads of green peas to the factory. They mow the vines just like hay and haul the whole load to the factory where it is run through the shelling machines just as oats are thrashed. The vines the farmers take back to the farm, some using them to fill silos and others piling them up to decay and go back on the land. This has been an exceptionally good year for peas, and while our Hancock county farmers were looking at the sky and wondering if it would ever quit raining, the rain here was making immense crops of peas, for peas, like, oats, need rain. The result is that the farmers have taken up from $75 to $105 worth of peas per acre from the farms, and that isn't all, for as soon as the peas were harvested, two months ago, the fields were planted in field corn and now this corn is making the finest kind of a crop. I know this 'sounds big, but if any Hancock county man will come to Chillicothe, Ohio, and call upon Hon. Val Rice, president of the Chillicothe Coal Co., Mr. Rice will convince him of the truthfulness of my statements, and if he does not I will pay his expenses for the round trip. "After the peas are harvested, a crop of soup beans comes, and then lima beans, and now gre,at loads of sugar corn are going to the factories at big prices, the husks being hauled back to the farm for the silos or manure heaps. Tomatoes are already being canned and the crop promises to be a good one.

When they are gone, or well under way, pumpkins come in, and the work goes until winter. "The amount of money paid to those who work in the factory is enormous. I was in a locality in Indiana once where a farmer's wife and four girls drove five miles each morning to work in the factory and back home in the evening. Think how far those owning autos in Hancock county could go and think how many more could own autos. Tomatoes yield as high as $70 per acre here in favorable seasons and the soil here is not as good as in our county. "Hoping this will interest our people, I am Sincerely, "C. A. Robinson."
