The man who votes his prejudices will reap disappointment. The man who votes for free-trade just because his party is in favor of it, should take the financial reverses which it brings without any complaint.

If the farmer is so anxious to buy his sugar, shoes and clothes cheap that he will vote for a system which will reduce the price of his butter, eggs, lard, chickens, hay, oats, corn, wheat, sheep, cattle, hogs, horses and even his land, he should not be disappointed if he does not make any money.

No Republican in Indiana, to,our knowledge, has ever made so many and such arbitrary and selfish demands of his fellow Republicans as Albert J. Beveridge. That jhe should attempt political capital by denouncing bosses might be expected, but it can not be harmonized with consistency.

may not be consoling to the new party, but it is nevertheless the history of this country that only three political parties have elected presidents of the United States in the past one hundred and twelve years. In the meantime there have been scores of parties organized.

The Republicans of Hancock county never were more determined in behalf of their party than they are now. It is not the courage of prospective victory, but that of faith in the principles of the party. While not assuming that their -parly and all of its leaders are perfect, they are confident that the principles of the Jiarty are right, and' though they ffiay be defeated, the voters will gladly return to the party for relief in four years.

days ago to a representative of this paper that he was not a freetrader. He said further that he had bought a farm, going in debt for it, and that he did not want the prices of farm products to come down. He said he thought Woodrow Wilson would be elected president on account of the division in the Republican party, but that if his vote would elect Taft President he would not hesitate to vote for him.

After all has been said and done after all the prating of pretenders and demagogues about the rights of the people and the rule of the people, the fact remains that most of the wrongs which exist in politics and official positions are due to the neglect of the people to discharge their political duties. When ever the people of the United States fully discharge duties as citizens in an unbiased and intelligent manner, they will eliminate wrongs. The people are responsible to themselves for the conditions which exist today.

One noticeable feature in the Progressive party movement in Indiana is its lack of Democratic converts. We do not know of a single life-long Democrat in Hancock county who has allied himself with the movement. We do not know what, has been done in other parts of the state in this respect, but we do know that the men nominated for offices so far as we have observed, were formerly Republicans. Take Roosevelt, Johnson, vice-president candidate Beveridge, for governor Landisfor lieutenant-governor the other state officers Wiley, for Congress, at Indianapolis Greenstreet, in this district the county ticket in Hancock county—all are former Republicans. There is not much in it to appeal to Democrats, but without the Democrats, what can the party hope to accomplish, except to defeat the Republican party? Even that will avail nothing four years from now.

The last few days—in fact, the first few days of the real campaign, have sufficed to put the Progressive leaders on the defensive. Their arrogance in the beginning of the campaign led many to suppose that they had their favorite animal, the picture of which is to grace the head of their ticket, by the tail— "with a down-hill swing," but. things are changing. These selfdesignated zealots of all that is good, honest, pure and holy, do not seem to be blessed with any more wisdom, harmony and peace than ordinary mortals. None of them so far has established, beyond a reasonable doubt, that he is endowed with infallibility or immortality. The trouble with the leaders of the Progressive movement is that they are of the "more-holy-tban-thou" type, but when tested, they possess only the same selfish ambition that prompts other men. This being the case, they may speak eloquently of Armageddon and sing, "Onward, Christian Soldiers," to no avail. In this connection, we are reminded that it was said, on good authority long years ago, "Not everyone that saith 'Lord. Lord,' shall enter the Kingdom of

Heaven."

IN JUNE AND AUGUST

To tlie Republican National Convention:— "I am a Par Excellent Republican —the best in the land—and most earnestly ask at your hands the nomination for the Office of President of the United States, for a third term. Your obedient servant "June, 1912. Theodore Roosevelt.'

To the People of the United States: "I am not a Republican dern 'em, but I am a Bull Moose, the only real friend of the people, and the only man in the country who knows what the people need and the only one who can tell them what they want, and for these reasons, please elect me President for a third term. "Your only true lover, "Theodore Roosevelt."

August, 1912. "P. S. Vote for rti6, jplease, for I am the only rtian who is fit for the office. t. R."

HE WON'T STAND HITCHED

The prattling pretender, the perenniel pursuer of political promotion, is again on the rampage— and pushing his phrase pumping machine to its most powerful performance in order to pacify his prodigious predilection for popular favor, not so much, as he ostensibly claims for the prosperity of the people, as for his own personal political preferment. He is now aspiring to the office of Governor of the great State of Indiana and if his capacity and consistency were proportionate to his "bump of self-esteem" he would, if elected, not only FILL the office to the remotest corner, but would, with his superabundant talent, "slop over" it on all sides. Before again giving this peripatetic political philosopher their support, there are some voters whose memories run back to the year of our Lord, 1910, who would like to have Mr. Beveridge explain just why he "would not then stand for" county local option, and just why he does "stand for it now." Did he think when he, as the chief boss in the Republican party in this state, compelled a declaration in favor of county local option to be omitted from the Republican state platform, that by so doing he would secure the support of a sufficient number of the liquor men of the state to make sure the election of a Republican majority in the Legislature so that he might be returned to the U. S. Senate? And does the chiefs boss of the Bull Moose party in Indiana now think that by compelling the so-called Progressive party to put a plank in favor of county local option in their state platform this year that he will secure the support of the temperance people of the state in his candidacy for the governorship? He very evidently belongs to the same class of selfadjusters as did the West Virginia school teacher who, upon applying for employment, was interrogated, among other things, as to his method of teaching geography and, not wishing to miss being employed, in answer to the question, "Do you teach that the earth is round or flat?" answered, "I teach either round or flat, whichever the patrons of the school may desire."

So it seems to be with Mr. Beveridge. He is round or flat, according to the way he thinks the wind is going to blow. He sets his trap so as to "catch 'em a-comin' or agoin.'" Contributed.

HOW ABOUT IT

The claim of Roosevelt that the nomination at Chicago was stolen from him, in view of the facts, is so ridiculous as to be fittingly illustrated by the following story, in which the petty thief is a fair representative of Mr. Roosevelt:

A poor fellow, being in need of raising some means of "raising the wind," came across an unguarded paper package containing several pounds of nails which, with felonious intent, he undertook to appropriate to his supposed personal profit. The nails having been missed by the owner, he raised the "hue and cry," and together with his neighbors went in hot pursuit of the fle§ing thief who, after a long and wearisome flight, found that he was about to be overtaken and captured, whereupon he suddenly stopped, tore the package open and took out a handful of the nails and swore he was going to have and keep that many of them for his trouble.

So it was with Roosevelt at Chicago. He and his aids, having tried to steal two hundred and twentytwo delegates to the convention, and having been caught with the goods, they came down and voluntarily abandoned their claim to all of the two hundred and twentytwo delegates, excepting sixty-sev-en, which number they insisted they should be allowed on account of their trouble. But their claim was not allowed because the titles of those sixty-seven delegates were tainted with fraud, as well as the titles of the others of said two hundred and twenty-two, whose claims Roosevelt and his aids had abandoned. If, however, Roosevelt had been allowed to keep the handful of nails, in other words, had the sixty-seven- delegates been

seated in the convention, and had their votes been added to those of the delegates who supported him, he would have received less than a majority in the convention. And there is not the least probability that he could have received a majority of votes in the convention, under any circumstances that might have arisen therein.

Then what becomes of the claim that the nomination was stolen from Roosevelt? He never had the nomination, and he never had enough delegates, honestly and fairly elected, to have given him the nomination, nor would he have had even if the sixty-seven that were finally claimed for him had been seated in the convention.

JERSEY HEIFER IS

Albert Curtis, of Green Township, Has Black Jersey With Letters Formed in White.

Albert A. Curtis, of R. R. 7, of Green township, was in Greenfield Saturday. He says that he has a Jersey heifer which is a curiosity. She is black, but there are several well-formed letters on her. While her general color is black, the letters are in clear white. The letters are "1" on the left shoulder, "u" on the right hind foot, and the letter "i" just back of the foreleg on the left side. These letters are well formed and very distinct. The heifer is seventeen months old.

Organize to Build Road. A big idea, nothing less than the building of a rock highway for automobiles from New York to San Francisco, to be completed in time for travel to the Panama Canal Exposition, which will be opened in the latter city in 1915, has been launched and put into action by Indianapolis men. The idea was received with enthusiasm by the business men and ihey demonstrated how highly they valued it by subscribing approximately $200,000 as a starter for the fund.

The road is not to be an Indianapolis or Indiana enterprise, but is to be nation-wide in its scope. All dealers in and manufacturers of automobiles, motorcycles and their accessories are to be invited to contribute to a fund, which may reach $10,000,000 or more, to be spent for the purchase of material for the road. The various states and counties through which the road is to pass are to be asked to do the construction work and the plans, specifications and inspection of the entire road are to be prepared and given by United States Government engineers.

MONEY BACK CATARRH REMEDY

Dosing the stomach won't kill Catarrh germs. Neither will sprays, douches, snuffs or ointments.

The quickest way to kill germs is to breathe deep into the lungs the vaporized air of Booth's HYOMEI.

As this antiseptic air passes over the sore spots infested with Catarrh germs, it not only destroys them, but heals the inflamed membrane and stops the discharge of mucus.

Then hawking, spitting, snuffling, crusts in nose and foul breath will disappear, and vile, disgusting catarrh will be conquered.

A complete HYOMEI outfit, which includes a hard rubber inhaler, only costs $1.00. Extra bottles, if afterwards needed, 50c and the Early I}rug Co. is authorized to refund your money if dissatisfied.

B. F. KEITH'S THEATER

"An Opening Night," the latest output of Joseph Hart, who has supplied variety and musical comedy with notable features for the last ten years, will be offered at B. F. Keith's theater, Indianapolis, the week beginning September 23d. The feature consists of a cast of 25 legitimate players who offer an ingenious story, dealing with the incidents and excitements of the "first night" of a Broadway production. Another very interesting, as well as unusually beautiful production will be offered in Maxim's Models, living reproductions of world-famous paintings, most of the young women posing being models of experience selected for beauty and grace from Notable Parisian studies. As a special feature for children, Louice Stickney's dog and pony circus has been booked. Lovers of operatic arias and the better grade of European folk songs will be delighted with the selection of Les Cadets de Gascogne, a quartette of excellent vocalists from the La Scalla Opera, Milan. A bright quarter hour's diversion is assured during the time J. Francis Dooley and Corinne Sayles are offering their absurdity called, "Pavement Patter." Lyons and Yosco have a classy instrumental and singing number which they present in the characters of Italian street singers. Then, for big measure, Mr. Keith has secured one of the most amusing acts in variety, known to all as The Three Keatons, who have just returned to this country after a very successful tour of the English music halls.

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