OBITUARIES CARDS OF THANKS
tfmapy partisans could feel, on election day, as tliby do often times after officers elected by them grossly betray the confidence reposed, they would vote very differently. It is the old story of locking the stable door after the horse is stolen.
President-elect Wilson seeps to .standpat on the inaugural ball, and the masses of the people approve his standpatism in that particular. To the society snobs of the National Capital the inauguration of a new president is a small matter compared with the inaugural dance.
The New Greenfield Hotel has good comfortable sample rooms, and business men desirous of seeing the hotel prosper should meet their traveling men at the hotel, where they can see and inspect their samples undisturbed. Wholesale houses make provisions for the hotel expenses of their representar tives on the road, and it is right that Greenfield's hotel should gfrt its share of such patronage, notwithstanding it is only twenty miles lo Indianapolis. A Greenfield merchant, loyal to his city, was urged by a traveling man a few days ago to let him show his line of. goods at, the store so that he could leave town at once. The merchants, who was busy with his customers, could not conveniently give the traveling man his time then. When the traveling man urged that he was anxious to get out of town, the merchant said, "Well, all right, go ahead I will buy of some other man." The traveling man, of course, did not want to lose the order, so said he would wait. He was then told that the merchant would meet him at the hotel after 6 o'clock. The result was that the traveling man patronized Greenfield's hotel for supper, lodging and breakfast, and also Greenfield's transfer men, and got in return a nice order from a Greenfield store. A little thought by the business men will do much to sustain a hotel in a prosperous business. Every, citizen wants the city to have a good hotel. By a little forethought., they can meet their traveling salesmen at the hotel where everything is more convenient for displaying samples than in a store, where the merchant is constantly interrupted.
There are many lines of public improvement in which the legislature is .justified in making liberal appropriations, but it should consider any general pension movement with great care before placing a law on the statute books. We believe in only one kind of pension and that is for the soldier who takes his life in hand in defense of his country. Too many people have been heard to complain of the burden caused by pensioning soldieijs. Such being the case, what would they do if a general pension lai\V was enacted for school teachers, aged men and women, and mothers. Many new ideas are being proposed. On their face, from the standpoint of tyumanity or. charity, or benevolence, they sound good, but back of the enactment of such ideas into law, there would be a financial burden which would make the frugal people totter. Let the state do what it can in the way of homes and hospitals, but let it act slowly when any proposition of pension is proposed for any one except the soldier.
There is nothing that people complain of so much as taxes. Even now there is a constant cry against the burden of taxation. Taxation could be reduced by cutting off public improvements. Citizens can not enjoy the advantages of good roads, fine public buildings and advanced educational facilities without great expense, but close students of political and governmental science declare that good roads and thorough educational provisions are real economic measures, and the claim seems justified by experience in many places.
Washington's strictly social set "will be greatly shocked by Presi-dent-elect Wilson's obstinate opposition to the inaugural ball. In the minds of such people even the inauguration of a president is a secondary matter to the dance. In fact, it would almost appear from he consideration given the ball that the inauguration was simply only a minor incident to the quadrennial dance. The people will

It is said that other prominent highways besides the National Road are bidding for the paved Coast-to-Coast highway. There is no other highway in the whole country that has received so much recognition by the Nation as the National Road' and nothing should be neglected by people living along the road, to secure for it the recognition which will make it the first great paved highway from ocean to ocean. It would prove a great benefit to all property lying adjacent to it, and the people living along the road should be keenly alive to the importance of the improvement.

stand in the matter, and the Indiana Congressmen who are backing him. Congressman Barnhart, of Indiana, says he does not think the .inaugural ball is in keeping with Democratic dignity and simplicity. He favors opening the public Capitol buildings free to all comers, without price, instead of charging $5.00 per head for the privilege of men dressed like waiters and w^omen in scant attire .to dance. One Congressman proposes to introduce a resolution precluding the possibility of a ball. Part of the resolution is as follows: "That the grant for the use of the Pension building for the inaugural ball is expressly upon the condition and with the limitation that for the prevention of acts of public indecency the following so-called dances are absolutely barred and prohibited: '"Grizzly bear gyrations the bunny hug tenderloin movements the turkey trot cortortions, and all like vulgarisms of the hoochee coochee dance and all similar forms of gymnastic convulsive movements suggestive of the degenerate revelries'of the segregated districts.'"

Husband, two brothers, five sisters, a large circle of other loved ones and friends are left to mourn, who can but faithfully submit to the will of the Heavenly Father, and calmly say, "Thy will, O God, be done." "dw
A Spade is a Spade.
There are two kinds of competition in our commercialism today— fair and unfair the first is constructive and progressive the last is destructive and an affront to the good judgment of a buyer.
It often occurs that a physician's advice is thwarted and a patient's progress retarded by an unthinking drug clerk who succeeds in substituting a preparation ofsquestionable potency or ingredients for one of recognized and known value. It is, indeed, a serious offense and one which should be promptly rebuked by every intelligent person.
A conspicuous instance is the substitution of inferior emulsions of cod liver oil for the tried and proven medical worth of Scott's Emulsion, wjpich physicians know contains a standard, superior grade of cod liver oil, and is not conteminated with alcohol or opiate of any sort. These substitutes are often compounded by unscientific process in unsanitary places and exist only by the unfair brand of competition which trades on the popularity and proven value of a really meritorious article.
It is high time for the intelligence of buyers to assert itself and know when a spade is a spade. 23w2

WHY HOUSE BILL NO. SO SHOULD BEGOKE Ul
Safe and Sane Law Drawn By the Good Roads Expert is Now Before the Legislature
The new g6od roads law, known its House Bill No. 50, is now before the Legislature. It was drawn by the Good Roads Legislative Committee, representing the Indiana Better Roads Congress, and the bill has been approved by more than twenty civic, agricultural and business organizations of Indiana. The bill does not favor any special interests, and its passage is urged by the Good Roads Committee because:
It is the' only safe and sane Good Roads Bill before the Legislature. It is the only Good Roads Bill that will meet the demands of the people of Indiana.
It was written by men of long years of experience and study of Indiana road methods and needs.
It has been indorsed by able road administrators of other states, as well as many commercial and civic organizations of our own state.
It is indorsed by the Good Roads Department of the United States. It. requires the cities of over 30,000 to help buikl country roads, which ^hey do not do now.
It provides for graduated automobile taxes to help maintain the roads in the various counties of the slate, which' is not done now.
It enables a coihily to help build new roads in that (Meanly, which cannot be done now.
It permits the state to help maintain main market roads which the slate does not do now.
It provides for scientific and expert construction and maintenance of main market roads in each county, which is not done now.
Some people say it takes money out of one county to help build roads in other counties. This is not true.
It permits the Use of automobile funds to maintain roads already built in counties that have many miles of road.
It. provides for a highway commission consisting of three members, one to be an expert engineer and road builder, with a salary of 84,000 per year, the other two members to serve without pay.
The total salaries of the commission, including assistants, draftsmen and stenographer, are $13,600. This cannot be increased without the approval of the (Governor.
County and township officials all over the state may ask for advice, plans and specifications for roads and bridges at any time without cost.'
The bill does not change existing road laws. The bill does not provide for trunk line roads or bond issues.
The bill asks for no appropriation from state funds. The bill provides that the state shall pay one-half the cost of building and maintaining the main market roads in each county upon request of the county or township ofcials only.
The bill provides for one-half mill levy, which is fifty cents on one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) of taxables, or less than a million dollars to be spent pro rata according to taxables in the various counties of the state.
This sum is so small that if divided equally among the counties it would amount to less than $10,000 in any one year.
The bill is an extremely conservative one, drafted on the theory that the best way in Indiana is to provide for an jefficient, scientific expert organization and work slowly and gradually up to perfecting our system of roads.
More attention will be given to maintenance than to building new roads.
At the present time the seven counties in which are located the seven largest, cities of thej^tate, pay one-fourth of all the taxes collected by the state, and yet these cities do not pay one dollar for the building of roads in the state. We submit that this is not fair, when it is considered that the people of these cities use and wear out the roads of the state as much as they do.
If the provision providing for a levy is stricken out these cities escape all taxes for the building cV roads.
The Good Roads Committee submits, in view of the above statement of facts, and they are facts, as will appear by a careful reading of tHe bill, that the criticisms that have been made of the bill have been, not because of things that are really in the bill, but because of mis-statements in regard to the bill.
In view of these statements, the Good Roads Committee feels that it has a right to ask of the Governor and the Legislature a careful and thoughtful consideration of this bill a§Jt feels, sum that it is along right iSs®...-. 1

and conservative lines, and for the benefit of the whole people of the state of Indiana.
There is a widespread belief in most of the states that Congress will shortly pass a bill providing for Government aid in the building of trunk lines, or inter-state roads. Under the plans generally discussed the states in order to participate in such Federal aid must have a State Highway Commission or Board, to co-operate with the Federal Government in such construction.
If Indiana fails to provide for such a condition, which is already possessed by forty states of the Union, Indiana would be unable to participate in such Federal aid.
