The Republican party, which has had control of the United States for the past sixteen years and which has been the real constructive force is National legislation for the past fifty years in its enforced retirenaent may very contented# rest from its labors. Proud of its achievements, it may very appropriately consider the few mistakes it has made.
Governor Samuel M. Ralston, who was inaugurated Governor this week, should be close to the common people. He comes of the sturdy common people, has made his own way from humble station in life to the chief executive of his native state, and undoubtedly understands the needs and wants of the people. His promises in his inaugural address are good.
When Woodrow Wilson takes charge of the office of Chief Executive of the Nation, there will be no doubt, more people in the United States who hope and wish that his administration prove successful and prosperous than ever so hoped and wished for any former President of the country. This is duo to several causes, all of which indicate a better general political condition as relates to party feeling. The day when the masses of the people of the different parties would prefer to suffer individually from adverse business conditions than that the administration of an opposing party should be successful is fafet passing away. What a majority idf the people of all parties desire now is the best possible conditions, regardless of the source. There are still political pitfalls. All the .perplexing problems have not be solved. Doubtless the complexity of the citizenship of the United States and the conflicting interests of distant communities will present, as time passes, as great perplexities as the past, but if the intelligent people of the country be thoroughly divorced from political organization prejudice, and face the problems unhampered by bias, there .need be no fear for the future. No field has been so productive Of wrong as that of party prejudiced with that rapidly eliminating, the future is bright.
An Appeal for Charity It is the desire of this paper to arouse a deeper interest among the people of Greenfield in behalf of the Greenfield Charity organization. The organization can not do much without financial support, but financial support and contributions of clothing and food have pot been so difficult to secure as workers. Men will give money liberally, when •needed and women will contribute clothing and food, but all shrink from getting out and doing the work among the poor. It is not a Greenfield Tuesday evening, peasant duty, but some one must
do it. A few faithful men and women have borne the burden of the local charity work for years, and they have done it willingly and cheerfully without pay, but they have become thoroughly discouraged and disheartened because of fhe absolute lack of aid in the work. It is but natural that they should ask why three or four women out of many hundred should leave their homes day after day during the stormiest part of. the winter and go into the,.extreme parts of the city in behalf: of. unfortunate humanity where ^hundreds of other women un.der as much obligation to the poor, as they, sit comfortably by their firesides. No wonder, then, they are ready to say, "We have done enough we have done our part." No one can criticise them if they give up the lonesome good work. But they do not like to give it up. They want to see the work go on. but they, want others to come in and do it or at least help .to, do it.
This is an opportunity for good people, and especially good women to do real good in one of, the greatest lines of work for fellowmen. Few people of Greenfield who live in comfort really know just how destitute many families in,this city are, and how close they live every day to want and destitution, in cases of sickness, severe weather, or failure to get work. It is "hand to mouth"—a few days without work, or a few days of sickness, or a few days of severe weather, and they are at the point of suffering. The community must look after .such cases. Such people must not Mr* Mas^io
•suffer* The charity organisation is funCTii
the medium through which such Hs today
1 /T
good work is best done. It deserves the intimate co-operation of all our good people, and there should be no dearth of workers. The more that enter the work the lighter will be the burden on each.

OBITUARY
Rachel McCray Trees, the fifth child in a family of thirteen children, was born near Gonnersville, Ind., on February 2, 1826, and departed this life January 6, 1913, being 86 years, 11 months and 4 days of age. When she was 9 years old she removed, with her parents, Moses and Jane McCray. to Rush county, Indiana, where she lived for two years, thence moving to Brown township, Hancock county, Indiana, which place has been her home for more than seventy-five years.
Her parents were among the very earliest settlers of B&own township, coming here when only blazed trails marked the way through the forests, and only one track of any importance, "The Old IIydy/Track," was known for miles in any direction.
She attended I he first, religious services held in Brown township, and many times her fathers rude log cabin served as a place in which to worship the Lord.
WThen the old log Baptist church was erected, and marked the site known as Concord or Harlan, Aunt Rachel, then 18 years of age, adhered to the principles of This church and was immersed by her uncle, John Sparks, a noted Baptist minister. When she came up out of the water she shouted, "Glory to God." The uncle replied, "And long may you live to see Ilis Glory"—and long indeed has she lived.
On February 6, 1845, she wTas united in marriage with Judiah Trees, who departed this life August 27, 1896. The fruits of this union were ten children, three of whom died in early childhood. Four sons and 3 daughters, 25 grandchildren and 35 great grandchildren survive her.
For 22 years, a daughter. Mrs. Mary Trees Albea, has faithfully and devotedly cared for this aged mother, giving strength, time and attention to make life both comfortable and pleasant in her declining years. Beautifully and uncomplainingly has Mary given the best of her life to Mother, and should Father Time lay his hand heavily upon her in the years that are to come, may she likewise be as wonderfully blessed.
Moses McCray's great family of thirteen children, noted for their longevity, strong characters, veracity and integrity, has yet three members who survive Aunt Rachel. They are James T. McCray, of Kansas John McCray, and Mrs. Martha McDaniel, of Brown township. Should the Lord see fit to spare all or even one of this pioneer family for the space of five years, it will have completed the round of a century, being one hundred years since the birth of the first child of Moses and Jane McCray.
Aunt Rachel's life has been long upon the earth. She has seen the rude log huts of her fathers, "where the started deer bounded past the door unharmed, transformed into castle. The little rough cabin where her father taught the first school in Brown township, and where she was a pupil, pave the way for the modern structures where her great grandchildren are taught. She has seen the old log meeting house, with its mud-daubed walls, sink into oblivion and listened to church bells peal from edifices of artistic beauty.
With quiet/ Christian grace, Aunt Rachel filled her station in life and often talked to members of the family of her faith in her Savior, and the joy that awaited her coming in the beautiful hereafter, especially did she love to recount the past and dwell on thoughts of the future to her granddaughter, Mrs. Amy Albea Reger, whom she dearly loved and in whom she tenderly confided. Long has she lived and long has she waited for the summons, strong in her convictions of right, she ever kept her childhood faith, and with many thorns commingled with the roses about her pathway. She fought a good fight, henceforth there is laid up for her a crown of righteousness that fadeth not away, and with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, she is gathered unto her fathers and hears tliewelome plaudit, "Well done, thou good and faithful mother, enter into thy rest and the joys prepared for thee.'*
A TRIBUTE OF RESPECT
To the Memory of James Alfred Warrick
The Great Spirit of the Universe has spoken and the whirlwind is still. The Beautiful Rose of Sharon that shed its sweetest fragrance upon all things near it has withered away beneath the chilling breath of the' cold-hearted Frost King of the Northland. The charming Lily of the -Valley, whose velvet petals Brought, sunshine and good cheer fo every yearning heart, has lowered its head, never to lift it up again. The still small voice of the Heavenly Father came softly and silently down through the twilight of the wintry night and called our beloved brother to his last long eternal rest.
The bright celestial chorus of the highest courts of glory sang his cheerful welcome home song as his body fell asleep in the arms of Mother Earth and his spirit flew away to the bosom of the God who gave it. 'fhe strong young oak that proudly reared its head among its fellows in the forest of life, has fallen to the ground and lies before us, silent and helpless in the grasp of what men call death.
To us the sojourn of our young brother among us seemed all too short. To us the sunlight of his life seems to have gone down at the meridian of its noonday. To us the number of Great Suns which mark the milestones he has passed on his journey from the cradle to the great celestial wigwam above, are all too few. ^et, all this is Mod's way and while God's ways may not always be our ways, as loyal, true and faithful Red Men, we must try to believe that God's ways are always the best ways.
Therefore, with lowered heads and heavy hearts, may we not offer a word of consolation to those who are most closely bound to him by the ties of kindred and affection, and as a special token of our regard for him while he was among us. let us drape the charter ci our tribe for thirty suns with the badge of the Red Man who mourns the untimely going away of one he loves. Let us also, with due sympathy and tenderness, present a copy of this tribute to those who are left to mourn his going, and also request the pale-face nation to publish them in its silent speaking leaves. d-w C. A. Robinson, Committee.

"TOP O'TIIE MORXIN'»
Henry VV. Savage's New Comedy of American Life to Be Presented in Indianapolis.
Theater goers and especially those of Irish origin, will be gratified to learn that "Top O' the Mornin'" the latest Henry W. Savage production, will ba seen at the Shubert-Murat theater, Indianapolis, commencing next Thursday for three nights and Saturday matinee.
It is a new Irish-American comedy by Anne Caldwell. The *iece is in three acts and four scenes, depicting life in a large American city of the present day. All the poetry, romance and wit that the Celtic race is noted for, are brought out in strong relief in Miss Caldwell's play. While the piece visualizes dominant characteristics of Irishmen, its appeal is not confined to those of that nationality, for an account of the touch of dramatic interest it possesses, and its simple wholesome story, it reaches the general public.
Prominent in the cast are such well known players as Tim Murphy, Gertrude Quinlan, Charles Erin Verner, Robert Cain, Thurlow Bergen, Peggy O'Neil, George LeGuere and others.
The production is on the same high scale that has always marked a Savage presentation, and with the resources this manager has at his command it is a foregone conclusion that "Top O' the Mornii^ will prove to be a play that will attract wide attention.
The prices for this engagement will range from 50 cents to $1.50. The seat sale, will open Monday, January 13th. Mail orders with remittance will be filled in the order of their receipt.
