A great deal of money must be raised to defray the expenses of the Government. The Republican way of raising it is the best way, and it is the way by which the burden on the people is the lightest.

We believe the campaign of the Progressive party has been such fis to deceive many well-meaning citizens. We are confident that there, is in store for the Progressive people a great surprise and sore disappointment. The party is not going to carry as many votes as is expected.

The farmer who votes for tariff for revenue only, votes for a policy of national administration of the government of the United States which has always produced unsatisfactory and distressing business conditions, conditions which affect disadvantageous^ every citizen who seeks to make money by investments in industrial and manufacturing enterprises, or by farming or laboring with his hands and brain. But of all men the farmer is the last man who, with the experience of the past fifteen years and the present time, fresh in his mind, should vote directly or indirectly against a protective tariff.. I

A voter may not understand the tariff schedules, but he can easily understand that in 4893 to 1897 he received a low price for his farm products, or low wages for his work. If good prices for products and labor prevail under a protective tariff, and low prices and low wages prevailed under .tariff for revenue, every one can easily understand that. Those facts were not only shown in contrast in 1893 to 1897, and 1897 to 1912, but it is the history of the United States that revenue-only tariff' produces

Bank Has Observatory Time

The Capital State Bank has an electric clock for the accommodation of the public, that is wound and set by eleetricity from the government observatory at Washington, D. 0. You can always get observatory time at this bank, and while you are getting the correct time you can get acquainted with the officers of the bank.

You should arrange to meet your friends here, where you can warm and rest and feel thab you are not only welcome but wanted. CAPITAL STATE BANK (The Oldest State Bank in the County.) J. L. BINFORD, PKJSS. C. M. CURRY, V.-PRES W. J. THOMAS, ASS'T. CASHIER N. C. BINFORD. CASHIER

REMEMBER.

W00DR0W WILSON, Democratic Candidate for President,

being summoned before the bar of the American people as a witness for and In behalf of the Republican party, was examined and testified as follows:

Question: Did you or did you not, In your History of the Amer lean People, refer to the years 1893 to 1896, when the Democratic party was In power, as "THOSE FATAL YEARS OF DEPRESSION"?

Answer: I did. Question: Did you or did you not describe the terrible conditions in those years in the following language, upon pages 235 and 236 of Volume 5: "A great poverty and depression had come upon the western mining regions and upon the agricultural regions of the west and south," and "Men of the poorer sort were Idle everywhere and filled with a sort of despair. All of the larger cities and manufacturing towns teemed with unemployed worklngmen, who were WITH THE UTMOST DIFFICULTY KEPT FROM STARVATION by the systematic'efforts of organized charity?"

Answer: I did. Question. Did you or did you not, after describing this distress In detail and relating that millions of American gold went across the sea to pay foreign creditors, use these words, on page 263: "NOT UNTIL THE YEAR 1897, WHEN THE REPUBLICAN ADMINISTRATION CAME IN, DID THE CRISIS SEEM TO BE PAST"?

low prices for everything but money. Money alone is high priced in panicy times. Everybody knows that interest is high when times are close and hard. Do the voters of this, country intend to vote on election day for a policy which has always made the rate of interest high?

The Republican party asks no better witness against a change from sixteen years of Repub -.an prosperity to four years more of Democratic distress than Woodrow Wilson, the Democratic candidate for president.

One would haturally expect to see any organization that condemns the practice of other organizations avoiding the methods of the organizations which they condemn, and still the Progressive party is advocating and usuing the same organs ization methods of the old political parties. We can see no material difference between the methods used by the Progressive party and those used by the other parties, except, perchance, they are more abusive and distatorial than either the Democratic or Republican parties.

Anyone who does not think it takes a great deal of money to conduct a political campaign, simply does not know. We are sometimes astonished at the aggregate amount that is said to be contributed to the national committees of the leading political parties, but when one comes to estimating the cost of doing what is done, it takes a large sum of money to pay the legitimate expenses of a national campaign. It is very doubtful,4however, if, under present methods, half of the motley spent by the leading political parties in convention and election campaigns is legitimately expended. The very fact that no politicarparty keeps a record of the manner in which money is expend­

ed, shows to our own satisfaction that part of it is expended in a way that is not legitimate.

We have often said that there is not enough business in politics. People too often vote simply their party prejudices. That fact can not be kept too clearly before the people. When people vote their intelligence instead of their bias, political conditions will be materially benefited. The average voter does not get much individually out of political parties, therefore there is really very little to prompt the party slavery which prevails in politics were it not for party bias and prejudice. When men can vote more intelligently in the interest of the common good of the whole people, there will be fewer wrongs, and those that do exist can be more easily remedied. We believe in political parties. It is the orderly way to conduct public affairs, but we would that .voters of the country were controlled in their political actions on election day more by their knowledge of the issues involved than by their prejudices and family traditions. We have sometimes thought men were more rational on everything else than politics, and still we "know of nothing relating to a man's life in which he should be more vitally interested than politics, and in which he should exercise such discriminating discretion. The campaign this year, though peculiar and unusually quiet, will have the same disastrous results on business that it has had in the past, if the people vote in favor of a tariff for revenue only policy. The past decade of marvelous business pros-

perity will only magnify and intensify the industrial and commercial distress. The voters are called upon to decide a strictly business question or proposition of four years' duration. It is to be hoped that they will not aid directly or indirectly in producing another panic like the "Cleveland" panic.

If Former Senator Beveridge, if governor of Indiana, would pave all the public highways of the state, who would pay for them? We know that paved roads would be nice if they could be built without expense, but someone will have to pay for them. Mr. Beveridge had best not pave too many roads at one time. Anything so expensive as road building must be accomplished gradually. The farmers will be slow to vote for a man who would attempt to force too much road expense on them at one time. What Mr. Beveridge thought would be popular might prove a boomerang if pushed too strongly.

"The Whirl of Society." With a record of a season's run at their Winter Garden, New York^°^er *^12

the Messrs. Shubert are sending to1 Indianapolis, for a three nights' engagement at the Murat Theater, beginning October 24th, an all-star company in a lively musical entertainment,

Night with the Pier­

rots" and "The Whirl of Society," the book of which is by Harrison Rhodes and Harold Atteridge, and the music by Louis A. Birsch, composers of the "Gaby Glide" and other numbers which have come into recent popularity. "A Night with the Pierrots" is really a curtain raiser to "The Whirl of Society" and possesses many novel features. "The Whirl of Society is a light and frothy combination of mirth and melody, designed primarily for the entertainment of the "tired business man" and his whole family.

The company which the Shuberts have assembled for this production is one of superlative strength, and comes nearer to fulfilling the oftmade promises of an "all-star" cast than such announcements usually mean. The organization includes A1 Jolson, one of the funniest black face comedians on the stage Melville Ellis, piano virtuoso Lawrence D'Orsay, the English actor of "Earl of Pawtucket" fame Ada Lewis, one of 'the members of Weber & Fields' famous stock company Fanny Brice, lately featured in '"Ziegfeld's Follies," a delineator of Ghetto types Hilarion and Rosalie Ceballos, dancers Clarence Harvey the Courtney Sisters, Willie Weston, master of ragtime, and a chorus of fifty or more beauties.

The scenic equipment is described as one of the most elaborate ever provided for a Shubert attraction, while the costuming is heralded as a most harmonious blending of colors and novelties. There are a score of musical numbers, among which several have attained international popularity.
