The record of Marshall as Governor of Indiana is not satisfactory from the standpoint of economy, nor to the temperance people. Will Ralston, if elected, follow the same policies? Durbin's record Is one of business in the interest of the state. He is a business governor.

All prices are high. Laborers are receiving good wages, and there is more work than can be done. Even though living is expensive, there is plenty of money, and people: who work are buying more and better things than ever before. A change might make lower cost of living, but if the laborer has no work^ he would not have the money.

"Murder will out." It is to be hoped that the truth in the Standard Oil affairs, as connected with Theodore Roosevelt, will be made public. If Roosevelt is not guilty, he should be proved innocent, and if he is guilty of the crookedest kind of corrupt politics, the public should know it. He is a muchabused man or a very guilty one. The public should want to know the truth.

Governor Johnson, of California, who was in Indiana last week, cancelled about half of his Indiana dates, said some ugly things about the state committee, and left .in disgust. The arrangements were entirely too cosmopolitan for him. He could not have privacy enough to suit his tastes. The arrangements were such that he had to be too closely associated with the other persons on the train. He complained that the only place he could have to himself was the wash room. One would expect that a man who was such a champion of the common people, and the whote people, would not be so averse to,

associating closely with them, especially when it was only for a few days. One naturally suspects, when a person acts as he did, that he really does not care for the "Dear People" except as he can be benefited by their votes.

What do you think of it? Beveridge, in a speech at Logansport, really admitted that if he were elected governor and should pass away, Fred Landis would be as capable as he to carry out Progressive principles. What a concession!

Roosevelt would have everybody think he was like Lincoln, and Beveridge would liken himself to Oliver P. Morton. Both Roosevelt and Beveridge are modest. No wonder they are the only real representatives of the whole people!

Eugene V. l}ebs, the Socialist candidate for President, says that Theodore Roosevelt is the leader of a one-man party. He says: "Angered because defeated by the Republican party, Roosevelt decided to have a party of his own. So he called a convention at Chicago, went to Chicago, nominated himself by acclamation, accepted the nomination and now is campaigning as 'the people's own candidate."

GREAT DANGER—AT WHICH END—BREECH OR MUZZLE?

As a matter of courtesy, if for no other reason, it may be well enough to mention the fact which it seems has been almost forgotten, that little Fred Landis, who resides on "The Banks of the Wabash," is the running mate of Mr. Beveridge. And it may not be improper in this connection to also mention the further fact that he, like Beveridge, left the Republican party because it refused to provide him with a life tenancy in office. The wonderful influence of this little man with the people who know him best, and the possibility of his being able to sweep the whole Wabash Valley into the Bull Moose Movement, is very alarming when his past career in politics is kept in view. And that it may not be entirely forgotten, we now mention the fact that he at one time was a member of Congress, having been elected to that office by the Republicans of the Eleventh district the strongest Republican district in this state. In his first race for this office he received the full support of the party and was elected by a majority of seven thousand, in round numbers. He was nominated for another term, and in his last race he had made himself so popular by his distinguished services of, and for, the people whom he and all the other Bull Moosers now so dearly love, that he was most disastrously defeated, his Democratic opponent having been elected by a majority of five thousand votes, in round numbers. So it seems that Fred is a quantity to be reckoned with. A man who. can work a change of twelve thousand from 7,000 PLUS to 5,000 MINUS—in the vote of a Single Congressional district, in the short time that he was the pet of his party, must be a person of such dynamic qualities as is well calculated to inspire terror in the minds of his opponents now that he has jumped the boundaries of his Congressional district, and is running at loose ends in the whole state. If he could, and did, work out such a PROGRESSIVE result, in so short a time, in a single Congressional district, what may be be expected of him when no such "pent up Utica" limits his activities? Now that Fred has unlimhered his hot-air guns and commenced bombarding the people with his WADS OF WORDS and ivacant shells of high-flown pyrotechnics, it would seem "the better part of valor" for thinking men to take to the woods. —Contributed.

Mr. Porter informs us that for eight consecutive years he has hatched 95 per cent, of the fertile eggs, and fully developed 95 per cent, of the chicks hatched with his improved machines, and that others who have used his machines have had even better success than himself. Besides the superior hatching and developing qualities of the improved machines, they have many other points of advantage, one especially in the incubator— the temperature cannot become too hot or too cold, with the exception that the temperature can run too low "should the operator forget to fill the lamp" and even in this case there is an alarm given to call the operator's attention to his neglect. Mr. Porter expresses a firm belief, with substantial evidence, that there is a better market today for a successful incubator and brooder than ever before. The experienced poultryman buys what he believes to be the best, regardless of price the inexperienced buy the cheapest machine because the catalogue says they are "as good as the best." The results both obtain excite a belief that poultry should be not only hatched, but developed the artificial way, and they begin to subscribe for poultry journals, firing postals through the mail "that with even poor aim" bring bags of catalogues to their door. They begin to study the artificial way, they compare their results with the literature at hand, and the catalogue that gets the order must be from the pen of the man who has had actual field work and the ups and downs, just as the buyer of today has. Otherwise his literature will not attract, for today it must be facts ai)d not fancies, for the successful machines of today must develop as well as hatch a fair per cent. The unsuccessful machines are seeking the buyer the buyer is seeking the successful machines just as with any commercial article. Mr. Porter will be pleased to explain his proposition to any one. If you cannot invest, investigate, then boost.

GREENFIELD REPUBLICAN, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1912

C. M. CURRY, V.-PRES N. C. BINFORD. CASHIER

There is an effort being made by Fay T. Porter to interest the citizens of Greenfield in a stock company for the purpose of manufacturing his improved incubators and brooders. He says in part: "These machines are the result of many years of experimental work to discover the defects of artificial hatching and brooding. There are many different makes of incubators on the market today that will hatch a large per cent, of the fertile eggs, but the question is, 'will the chicks live and develop?' Ask any number of persons you may know who use incubators to give you the honest figures of their success 'in fully developing' the chicks they hatch do not content yourself with the number hatched, but ask for the final results of the year. The figures at the end of the year was the whole cause of devoting so much time to experimental work in an effort to discover the cause of loss of the larger per cent of the chicks that were hatched. Generally the operator gets a good hatch. When the chicks are most all lost he blames himself and not the incubator he is using, when the facts are in most every case that it is the fault of the incubator and not the operator. Incubator manufacturers sell you what you ask for, 'not what you want.' You ask for the machine that will hatch a large per cent of the fertile eggs, while you really want a machine that will hatch healthy chicks that can be developed into dollars for you. The progressive man and woman of today are wondering why someone does not improve the incubator and brooder, and for the sake of convenience they use the same incubator and brooder year after year, hoping the loss is their own fault and that they may discover their mistakes, while thousands buy a different make from year to year, hoping to find the successful one at each purchase."

A PECULIAR AILMENT

Horse Belonging to Joseph Ice Loses Part of Its Jaw.

WThen Joe Ice, living near Mt. Summitt, went to his barn recently he found that a piece of flesh the size of a man's hand had dropped from the jaw or cheek of one of his best horses. There was no outward sign that anything was wrong the night before. Dr. Bolser was called and said it was one of the most peculiar cases he ever saw. The piece of flesh that had dropped out left the interior of the mouth exposed and saliva was running freely from the glands. The exposed place was cauterized, and the case is being watched with considerable interest—New Castle Times.

KING OF HOBOES IS DEAD

"A No. 1" Reported Killed Under a Train in Texas.

"A No. 1," who claimed to be the king of hoboes, and who had visited Greenfield about a year ago, is dead according to report. Slipping from the rods of a passenger train on the Louisville & Nashville Railroad at Houston, Texas, the man who boasted that he had traveled more miles and paid fewer fares than any traveler of his generation, was caught by the trucks of the coach. "A No. 1" was an enigma, even to the men with whom he had roamed the world. From Maine to California his name is painted on the water tanks, box cars and steps. He was known to thousands of railroad men.

Mrs. D. B. Cooper and Mrs. Paul Cooper and daughter, Elizabeth, were at Indianapolis today.

Thomas McKown, of Alexandria, is the guest of Riley McKown and other relatives here.

William Albert Garrett. William Albert Garrett, youngest son of Archibald and Melissa Garrett, was born near Maxwell, on March 14th, 1896. He fell asleep to awaken in his beautiful eternal home, Sunday morning, September 22, 1912, age 16 years, 6 months and 8 days.

Albert, as he was familiarly known, was the victim of a long and protracted illness for which there seemed no cure, or help. He was compelled to give up his school work about three years ago, and has been gradually growing weaker since, and although as a family you mourn your loss, yet you can not help but know your loss is his gain, and that God in His wisdom, has gathered him to His arms and taken him home. We know he is free from his great affliction and sickness and is enjoying the promised home not built with hands. No one will miss him more than this dear mother, whose mind constantly centered upon his health and condition at all times.

Albert was always willing to lend a helping hand to any one he could and he will be missed by those who knew him best. Albert leaves a father, mother, three sisters and four brothers to mourn, two other brothers having previously passed to their reward. Faith cries out, "It is the Lord!"

Let Him do what seemeth good. Be Thy holy name adored, Take the gift a while bestowed, Take the child no longer mine,

Thine he is, forever Thine. 26d-w
