SPENCER PUBLISHING CO. 7 Newton R. Spencer, Editor & Mgr.

A bill has been, introduced in the Legislature providing for a pension system for teachers. The fund is to be raised by tha retention of a portion of (he teachers' salaries. We hope if will not pass. We are opposed to all forms of pension except that for soldiers of the United States army. We are in favor of teachers being paid higher salaries, but we are opposed to all forms of teachers" pensions, and we think teachers should scorn any pension proposition. It is based on the assumption that teachers can hot. make a living, and lake care of their money in such a way as to save a competence for old age. There are many other avocations in which those engaged do not. make more than teachers, but the state thinks they can provide for old age,, hut the teachers are so short-sight-ed and impracticable that the state has to retain from their salary, a certain per cent, in order to create a. fund for superannuated pauper teachers, who have "taken no thought for the morrow." Teachers should resent the insinuation, and should demand of school officers salaries in keeping with the requirements of their profession and the services rendered. We are not hostile to teachers. On the contrary. we are exceedingly friendly to them. We are not only in favor of paying them trood wages—better than they get now, but. we are in favor of paying them all their salary after it is earned, and place on them the responsibility that 'should rest on everybody, of providing for the future. Every citizen should guard against the present, tendency of pension systems. Give the soldier who defends his country a pension, but let it stop there'.

V. L. EARLY SUCCESSFUL

Induced Dr. Howard Co. To Make Special Prices.

After a great deal of effort and correspondence, V. L. Early, the popular druggist, has succeeded in getting the Dr. Howard Co., to make a special half-price introductory offer on the regular, fifty-cent size of their celebrated remedy for constipation and dyspepsia.

Dr. Howard's remedy has been so remarkably successful in curing constipation, dyspepsia and all liver troubles, that V. L. Early is willing to return the price paid in every ..case where it does not give relief.

Headaches, coated tongue, dizziness, gas on stomach, specks before the eyes, constipation and all forms of liver and stomach trouble are soon cured by ihis scientific medicine.

So great is the demand for this remedy that V. L. Early has- been able to secure only a limited supply, and everyone who is troubled s#vith dyspepsia, constipation or liver trouble should call upon him at once, or send 25 cents and get sixty doses of the best medicine ever made, on this special half-price offer, with his personal guarantee to refund the money if it does not cure. 27-m 6-13-20-27

The assassination of two prominent Mexicans does not clear the trouble in Mexico. It seems that the Mexicans are under the control of men who care nothing for right, but are simply fighting for personal advancement and exaltation.: In all the trouble spreading out over several years, we can not recall a single manly patriotic plea for principles from any prominent leader. Physical force prevails. Mexico is a fertile field for the rule of a tyrant.

HftDERO AND SIUREZ ARE SHOT TO DEATH

Reports of the Killing Are All From the Government Officials— Widows Denied Bodies.

Madero was one of the rebels which aided in removing the old President Diaz, who was president of Mexico for so many yeats. He was then elected president, but the revolution continued. A brother of Madero was executed last week."

The circumstances surrounding the death oi the deposed president and vice president are unknown, except as given in official accounts which do not conform in all cases.' The only witnesses were those actually concerned in the killing.

The provisional president, Gen. Victoriano Ifuertz, says the killing of the two men was incidental to a fight between their guard and a party attempting to liberate them. The minister of foreign relations, Francisco De Labarra, adds that the prisoners attempted to escape. Neither makes a definite statenient as to which side fired the fatal shots. It is oot impossible that neither knows.

An official investigation has been ordered to determine the responsibility, and solemn promises have, been made that the guilty will be punished.

Not unnaturally, a great part of the public regards the official versions with doubt, having in mind the use for centuries of the notorious "Ley Fuga," the unwritten law which is invoked when the death of a prisoner is desired. After its application this is written on the records, "prisoner shot trying to escape."

Senora Madero, widow of the former president, received the first definite information of his death from, the Spanish minister, Senor Cologan Cologan. She already had heard reports that something unusual and serious had happened, but friends had endeavored up to that time to prevent her from learning the whole truth.

Soon afterward, accompanied by her brother, Jose Perez, and Mercedes Madero, sister of Francisco, Senora Madero drove to the penitentiary, but was refused permission to see the body of her husband. Senora Suarez also was denied admittance to the mortuary, where the physicians, in accordance with the law, were performing an autopsy.

In contrast to the widow, whose grief was of a pitiably silent character expressed in sobs, Mercedes Madero, a beautiful young woman, educated in Paris, who has been a brilliant leader of society since the revolution of 1910, was dry-eyed and tigerish in her emotions. By the side of the two women whose husbands had been killed, the girl hurled accusations at the officers who barred the entrance.

LITERARY NOTE

Maria Thompson Daviess Says She Was Destined to be An Author

"Why did I take to writing?'' repeated Mario Thompson Daviess, author of the new novel, "Andrew the Glad," when recently asked how she accounted for the fact that she became an author. "Well, I guess it was just a matter of destiny, that's all. I guess it was up to some one in our family to carry on the work that someone else in our family once began, and the good Lord just chose me to do it."

This bit of quaint philosophy is like so much that Miss Daviess has contributed to illumine the pages of her happy stories of the South, but her explanation of the reason for her belief is clearly logical. "You see," she continued, "my grandmother on my father's side, whose name was Maria Thompson Daviess, too, edited the first woman's page in an American publication. This work was done for the Home and Farm Magazine, of Springfield, Mass., and the idea was copied far and wide throughout the country. Even after our family

moved to Kentucky my grandmoth-

lieve it was about a week after she'

spondence. I wrote beautiful 'stuff'—I think that's what the newspaper people call what they write—but somehow, the editor did not run much of it. When I was in school I was conditioned, and was on the verge of leaving several times. "So, you see, I really can make no decent apology or offer any reasonable excuse for being an author unless fate had something to do with it. For it is hard enough for me to pick out my clothes, let alone to have chosen a career."

10 HII TO HOLD GOOD JOBS

Yarling Rill Pending in Senate Provides For Speeial Training in Schools.

A systein of vocational education to train children for work in the shop and on the farm would be established in the public schools of Indiana by the Yarling Bill pending in the Legislature.

The bill embodies the recommendation of the commission on industrial and agricultural education created by the 1911 Legislature of which Senator Will A. Yarling was chairman, and John A. Lapp, legislative librarian, secretary.

Under the bill local school boards would be given authority to establish vocational schools or departments at once and levy a spec-ial tax not to exceed ten cents on each $100 of taxable property in the corporation to support such work. Beginning with 1914-1915, local school boards shall be reimbursed by.the state for two-thirds of the sum. expended for such instruction approved by the board. An additional tax levy of one cent on each $100 in the state shall be levied by the state to make up a fund with which to reimburse the local boards for vocational work.

Evening classes are provided for in the measure also part-time vocational classes .for those engaged in similar lines of work. Attendance on day and part-time classes would be the limit to persons from 15 to 25 years of age, and evening classes to persons fover 17.

THINKS HORSE SCENTED NEST OF EASTER EGGS A horse belonging to R. C. Hunt, of Henry county, was missing from the stall a few days ago, and as the halter was missing also, it was thought he had been stolen, and everybody in the neighborhood got busy but he could not be found. That evening while Mr. Hunt was milking, he heard queer noises under the barn, and upon investigating, discovered the horse under the floor, fully sixty feet from his stall. It is supposed the horse became untied, fell through the floor of the barn and worked his way to the place where he was found. He was uninjured. Mr. Hunt thinks the

ORMAN WILL MANAGE INDIANAPOLIS DISPLAY

Veteran of Automobile Shows Picked As Chief of Show Preliminaries.

is I

Indianapolis, Tnd., Felt. 22.—John March 4, 1913.

in Indianapolis, has been selected as show manager by the Board of Directors of the Indianapolis Auto Trade Association. Orman is a veteran at the show game, his experi-j March Oth, at 10 o'clock, ence dating back to' the old-fash-ioned days, when bicycle shows used "to display the season patterns.

Orman will break away from the Premier influence for the time being, giving his time and attention to the needs of the show. He will look after the mass of little details that must be attended to before the exhibit is a success.

Orman tried to sidestep the job this year, but the committees decided that they had better not entrust the place to one less experienced.

The state fair ground is at the edge of the city, reached easily by street car or automobile. The buildings offer plenty of room for the displays, besides plenty of room for the spectators. "The show last year was a dandy fine success," said Orman, "even with the worst sort of weather conditions, but this year, with the chances of the weather being ideal, the local show—a national affair— ought to further place Indiana at the top of the column in automobile influence."

IIOW TO RESIST An Expert Judge.

Lon McDonald, a wealthy horseman of Indianapolis, was at the Rising Sun Stock Farm last week inspecting the stallion. Richard Earl, 2:14%, and his colt, Early Dream, and in speak ins: of Richard Earle, Mr. McDonald said: "The people of your county realize the worth of this great stallion, and time will only tell what a great horse I take him to be. His sire, Highwood. was Nutwood's greatest son and sold for $3,500 at weaning time. His darn was by Mambrino King, world's greatest show horse and extreme speed sire." .7

Mr. McDonald, is one of the largest money winning grand circuit race horse drivers. His winnings ran from .$35,000 to $50,000 a year. He won the $50,000 trotting handicap/ the largest ever raced for in the country. dw

ENGLISH'S OPERA HOUSE

John Drew in "The Peri^exed Husband." In presenting "The Perplexed Husband," John Drew will be welcorned to English's Opera House, Indianapolis, Monday and Tuesday, March 3d and 4th. The play i9 in four acts. The scenes are laid in London, and the action touches on the subject of woman suffrage.

Thomas Polling, a tea merchant, finds his young wife converted to the cause of woman suffrage. She has invited to her home a professor and a lady firebrand. The wife feels herself another Nora in "A Doll's House," and poor Mr. Polling stands aghast. On the advice of a practical married sister, Mr. Polling pretends to fall in with his wife's hobby and introduces into the house a very charming young woman with a greek soul. Eventually this young woman pairs off with the professor and the wife, realizing her mistake and folly, falls into the arms of her husband.

Politics, as played in the nation's capital, is the basis of the story of "The Woman," the plaiV that. will be the attraction at English's opera house on the afternoon and evening of March 5th. The play also proves that a woman can keep a secret, for the story of the piece centers around a telephone operator in a big Washington hotel and the efforts of certain political interests to compel her to give information against one of their opponents. There are several "big" scenes in which the woman matches her wits against those of the politicians.

Found At Home of Old Neighbor— Could Give No Account of Actions—Back at Home Now.

Sterling P. Green, the Greenfiehl transfer man who disappeared from his home, was located in Rusfa county. The information received by the family was from a Rusli county physician who knew him, He reported that Mr. Green had appeared at the home of an old neighbor and friend, John Kunte, Sunday morning. Mr. Kuntz called up George D. Gahiiner, a brother-in-law of Green, and notified him that Green was there and unable to give an account of himself.

As soon as Mrs. Green was notified that her husband had been located, she instructed Mr. Gahimer to detain the husband until she could send someone after him. Arrangements were finally made to send O. D. Green, a brother, and Thomas Green, the son, after him. They went to Shelbyville, whert? they met Mr. Gahimer, who turned Mr. Green over to the care of the brother and son. They returned home this afternoon.

Mr. Green does not seem to have suffered very much from the exposure. He is said to have walked1 all the way from Greenfield to the place where he was located.

OBITUARY

Mary M.„ daughter of Samuel E, and Anna DeCamp, was born at Eden, Ind., April 9, 1882. She attended the common school at Eden from which she graduated June 27, 1896, in a class of twenty-four.

On Dec. 17, 1902 she was married to Charles Record. To this union were born two children, Dorothy, now aged 9, and Earl, aged 6.

On Feb. 10, 1913, wearied and exhausted by that dread disease, consumption, she fell into a sweet and triumphant sleep in Jesus' arms, aged 30 years, 10 months and 1 day. Thus a dovated husband and a darling little boy and girl, are left to mourn.

She was converted and united with the M. E. church at Eden, under the pastorate of Rev. F. M. Lacy. Her life and true Christian patience during her affliction fully portrayed the power of Christian love. She made all arrangementsin regard to her funeral services. She died in full Christian triumph, calling around her her relatives and friends, admonishing them to meet her in that good land. She gladly welcomed death, but regretted to leave her husband and children.

Thus she has gone from the cares of earth. A husband is without the counsel of a true and confiding wife two motherless children are calling for Mama, but all is silence* May God in His infinite blessings, care for these orphans and heartbroken husband, and reunite them in that land of light and love.

We sympathize with the husband" in his sad bereavement, and hope that he may ever put his trust in One that can sustain and keep him in his lonely pathway through life.

Besides husband and children, she leaves father and mother, and two brothers, and other relatives and friends to mourn their loss.

It is hard to part with one so dearly loved, but we mourn not as those who have no hope, for we know our loss is her eternal gain. To these heartbroken ones we sayr look unto Him who healeth the broken-hearted and bindeth up their wounds. May they be able to say as the seer of old, "The Lord hath given the Lord hath taken away: blessed be the name of the Lord." dw
