"The truth itself is not believed in one who often has deceived."
"Often the time and the place render timid men bold."
The voters of the United States are about to kill the Hen that laid the Golden Egg.
Senator LaFoll^tte says: "Roosevelt's record for the seven years he was President proves him to have been as much of a standpatter as Aldrich or Cannon."
Former Governor Hanly is making some of the best speeches of the campaign in behalf of the Republican ticket, and the constitution of the United States.
Col. Winfield T. Durbin, the candidate on the Republican ticket for Governor of Indiana, is no experiment. He has been tried and made the best business governor that Indiana ever had.
If the effect of free trade makes a Democratic farmer 16ok serious, what ought it do for a Republican who is about to give a half vote to the Democrats by not voting the Republican National ticket this year?
No claims, no misrepresentations can disguise the fact tnat the Progressive party movement is losing ground. It is not only losing enthusiasm, but it has lost the ear of the public. The public has lost interest in it. The show seems to be over.
,V If Theodore Roosevelt is not a new convert to Progressive ideas, then he was progressive when elected and filling Republican offices. If he was progressive then, the Republican party was progressive, because he was elected on its platform, which was indorsed and advocated by him. The facts of the case are that the Republican party has always been the party of advancement and progress. It is yet, not only in theory, but in practice.

The only reasonable excuse that can be given for voting down the protective tariff policy of this country by the voters who are benefited by it, is that they think that it will be different this time, but it will not. There will be the same decline in prices and wages that there always has been, and the price of interest will go up.
In the market at Indianapolis on Wednesday, the best steers were quoted at $9.25 to $10.00 choice feeders, $6.50 to $6.75 the best heifers, $5.50 to $7.50 choice bulls, $5.25 to $6.00 the best heavy hogs, $8.50 to $8.80 roughs, $6.00 to $8.00. Those prices are certainly pretty good. Too good to take chances on a change for less.
The Republicans who have not faltered in their allegiance to the old party of prosperity and progress for the past fifty years of remarkable development in these United States, will gladly welcome back every wanderer when he, seeing the business disaster which the defeat of the Republican party produces, is ready to return to the fold of the fathers.
The best time to be practical with your political influence is when you vote. A voter can talk all he pleases -about theories before election, but if he does not vote for practical things on election day he will soon be up against a real condition afterwards. Tariff for revenue will produce unfavorable business and industrial conditions, and now is the time for the voter to realize it. It always has had such results and will again if attempted.
If President Taft were elected, the present prosperous conditions would continue. If Woodrow Wilson is elected, there will be business troubles. "These hard times" will be an expression again in common use. The man who insists that the present times are not prosperous will, after a few years' experience with the business produced by a tariff for revenue policy, be able to see the difference in the different conditions, no matter what he calls them. The true names for the conditions, however are "Prosperity" for the one, and "Panic" for the other. Which do the voters want?
Hog Cholera.
With the large corn crop and the high prices of hogs, the duty on farmers and stock-raisers becomes more imperative to guard against hog cholera. They should not only seek to prevent it, but where it now exists every precaution should be taken against the spread of the disease. It would indeed be a ca lamity not only to the farmers of Hancock county, but to the busi ness of the county, if this year an epidemic of hog cholera should sweep over the county. Every good remedy known to the farmers of this county should be used by all of them constantly, to protect this great staple money-making prod uct of the county this year, which is so favorable for exceptional profit. It is a matter in which the people of the whole county are in terested. ."
It is not only a privilege, but duty that a citizen* owes to the gov ernment to exercise his right to vote. A man who does not exercise his right of franchise should not complain of the way public affairs are conducted. The best guarantee to the perpetuity of the govern ment lies in the intelligent and hon est exercise of the ballot by the whole people. The purposes of the registration laws are to protect the ballot and render elections more honest. It is in the interest of hon est election that such laws are enacted, and good citizens should approve them. The citizen who does not comply with registration laws disfranchises himself. That is not all by failing to register, he disqualifies himself to discharge many other duties of a citizen. He is not eligible to serve as a juror, to hold public office or serve on election boards. Many of the laws provide that a citizen to be eligible

The temperance people who favor county local option, can only vote a consistent ballot on .election day by voting the Republican State ticket. If the Republicans win in Indiana, carrying the Legislature, Indiana will have a county option law again.

If Theodore Roosevelt and Albert Beveridge are not new converts to Progressive ideas if they have for years as public officers been progressive, then they have been progressive as Republicans, and the party which they represented and advocated, and the party which indorsed them and promoted and elected them is progressive.
to fill certain positions must be an elector. The grand jury case in this county this week is a good example of the effects of a citizen failing to register.

COMPLETING PLANS FOR BIG ANNUAL SPEED EVENT
Indianapolis, Ind., Oct. 23.—With the appointment of H. C. Bradfield as chairman of the press committee, the working organization of the Indianapolis Speedway for the big contest, May 30-31, has been made complete. Speedway Manager C. W Sedwick now has what is said to be a hard-working crew consisting of Homer McKee, one of the best advertising experts in the country, who will have supervision over the general publicity plans Theodore Myers, who has grown up with the Speedway, in charge of the financial and clerical work, and Captain W. P. Carpenter, Indiana National Guard, in charge of public safety.
Manager Sedwick is now working with Mr. McKee on plans for the two days' contest that will bring to this country foreign race drivers, and make for the Indianapolis Speedway contest next year what is said will be the greatest international automobile contest the world has ever witnessed.
There will be a piston displacement class of 450 cubic inches limit with minimum weight reduced to 1,600 pounds, for one of the contests, and another match with a piston displacement which has not yet been definitely decided upon. The entries for the contest open January 1st. Already a number of tentative entries have been received. Several race drivers have started building special cars for this contest.
Manager Sedwick will work out plans that'nearly every person in the country who wants to see the race will be able to attend. In fact, the plans which he and Mr. McKee now have under way will greatly improve the comforts of the public on the greatest speedway course in the world. "Our greatest aim in our plans, Manager Sedwick says "is to show to the world that the Indianapolis Speedway is the safest and fastest course in the world. We have proven this by past performances and our limit is not reached."

TURKS TOOK TO TALL TIMBER
The Turko-Bulgarian War Carried Into Henry County.
The Turko-Bulgarian war was carried into Henry county Monday, when the Turkish and Bulgarian workmen on the Pennsylvania road near Lewisville clashed as a result of fighting in the Balkans, says the Rushville Republican. Several shots were fired, but so far as is known they did not take effect. Rocks and bottles were thrown, and the melee was at high tide when Sheriff Kirk and deputies arrived.
The trouble started at about 11 o'clock when Peter Communitz, a Greek workman, went out of the camp car in which he was working and was made the target of a bullet fired from a camp car occupied by Turks several hundred feet down the track. The first shot was followed by several others.
Inhabitants in the vicinity heard the shooting and notified Sheriff K. K. Kirk and Deputy Ralph Yost. They hurried to the scene and prev«"t.ed further hostilities. The occupants of the Turkish car had fled the corn fields and no arrests were made.
Cancelled Sale Date.
Robert O. Dorman, who had a public sale advertised for Wednesday, October 30, 1912, at his home on the Thomas Roberts place, one mile and a half west of Maxwell, has cancelled the date of the sale and called it off for the present. After advertising the sale some business changes made it best to call it off, so he has done so, and will not make any sale.
Mr. and Mrs. George Hutchinson have returned to. their home in Hartford City, after a visit here with the former's brother, Ellis Hutchinson, and family on Mechanic street. .-

Reverses Circuit Court. The Appellate Court has handed down a decision in a case tried in this county on a change of venue, reversing the lower court. A synopsis of the reversal is as follows:
State Ex Rel. vs. Shatto Evidence that defendant and the bondsmen secured saloon license which was still uncanceled at date of death, the introduction of a bill of sale dated five months prior to the death conveying saloon, stock and fixtures to G., who swore he purchased the same outright proof by the printer of the form on which the bill of sale was made out that it was not printed for more than a year after the bill of sale was dated proof that decedent left the saloon under the influence of liquor and staggering, and went toward the railroad track and was soon afterward found after being struck by train, and proof that he drank while in the saloon, will support a verdict against a sa-loon-keeper and his bondsmen for lack of support. A saloon-keeper can make a bona fide sale of his saloon, quit the business and cease entire connection with it and escape after liability, but no ruse of transfer to an agent, though the principal becomes a non-resident and his license thus void, can prevent liability for damage to another. An instruction which makes the former owner of a saloon liable for acts done by a bona fide purchaser after he has severed all connection with the saloon, is reversible error on conflicting evidence regarding the good faith transfer of the saloon.
Jesse Morris, of Greenfield, visited with O. P. Gotschall and wife last Wednesday and stayed over night. Mr. Morris was one of Mr. Gotschall's Sunday school scholars in Hancock county twenty years ago, and he had not. forgotten his old teacher. It was when Mr. Gotschall was pastor of the Center church of that locality. They had quite an enjoyable time. Mr. Morris is an agent for the Standard Oil Company.—National Road Traveler.
