The Michigan Election

5

(Quoted from Harper's Weekly of 'April 19, 1913.) Michigan is something of a straw —quite big enough to serve as well as any other straw to show which way the wind is blowing. We ourselves did not attach too much importance to the municipal elections mentioned last week as indicating whether or not the Bull Moose party, as a party, had gained a footing in the country. But Michigan is too big not to be really significant.

And the change there is too'striking. Last November the state gave Roosevelt his biggest plurality. Now the Roosevelt party is a bad third to the Republican and Democratic paries.

For the life of us we can draw but one inference. It is that the Bjg^l Moose strength of last autumn, was not Bull Moose strength at all, not at all the expression of a full and permanent commitment to a new party,- but something el§e.

What else? We do not pretend that our answer is more than guesswork, bufe we shotild say that the great showing made by the new party last autumn was mainly due to two things

Roosevelt's personal popularity, and indignation with the Republican party. Perhaps we ought to add .••ra third cause—the general state of restlessness and discontent in the electorates but that is hardly worth Considering in any reasoning that looks to the future—even the immediate future.

The immediate future is quite worth considering. The Democrats are engaged in passing a tariff bill they indicate a. purpose to deal strongly, perhaps radically, with other matters not less important. They conceivably may—and we sincerely trust they will use their power so wisely and conscientiously as to strengthen themselves even in their first appeal to the country.

But there is no denying that such success as that is extremely rare in the history of parties, either in this country or in England. Ordinarily the strongest and best administrations, as well as the weakest, have faced reactions of public opinion, and-have suffered reverses the first time they went to the country.*

If there is such a reaction in 1914, which of the two opposition parties seems most likely to profit by it? The one that does will be the one most likely to survive. The Jew indications of the public mind that we have had since November are distinctly favorable to the view that the Republicans rather than the so-called Progressive's are likely to be the real opponents of the Democrats in the 1914 elections.

The greatest loss which citizens of Hancock county sustained in any of their products last year, was the loss in hogs from cholera. NDW is the time to begin the campaign of prevention. It is too late tor attempt fcp prevent the loss after the hogs have the disease. And so far science, with all its investigation and work, has not produced a sure cure. The greatest protection against the loss of ho&s from cholera at present is not in curing the disease, but in preventing it. The pigs 'are now young and free from disease. They will make the hogs ©f next fall. Begin now to use all those remedies which tend to deg-~~ stroy all germs of disease and to keep the pigs healthy. If cholera could be prevented the farmers of jj|fc Hancock county would save thou--sands of dollars every year. The same is still true, and now is the time to do effective work against the disease. After the disease makes its appearance the farmer whose hogs are sick would spare neither time nor money to save them. Why then should he not be on the alert when the hogs are healthy. Hog raisers are too much afraid to spend money beforehand 4on their hogs.

The most successful business men go on the theory that 'everyone has to toot his own horn, or it is liable not to be tooted." This paper is the best meai?s available for the business men of Gr^fenfield by which to toot their/ advertising horns. We are not only willing to have them toot them that way, but we are anxious that they do so. It is the best and cheapest medium between the seller and buyer.

NOTABLE SUMMER STOCK SEASON IN INDIANAPOLIS

The fourth season of summer .stock at the Murat theater, Indianapolis, will open Monday evening, May 5th, when a company including Elsje Herndon Kearns, Joseph Yanner, Susanne Willa, James A. Bliss, Raymond Van Sickle, Emily Calloway, Clare Summers, Thomas Rolfe, Philip Lord and others, under the stage direction of Ernest C. Warde, will present William Collier's most decisive success, entitled "Caught in the Rain."

At the head of the company are Miss Elsie Herndon Kearns as leading woman, and Joseph Yanner as leading man. Miss Kearns is a young woman of unusually thorough education and representative practical training. She was born in Brooklyn, N. Y., and was graduated with the degree of bachelor of arts at Smith College, -Northampton, Mass.^ Following her collegiate training she entered the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York, from which she was graduated with first honors and where she won the David Belasco gold medal for excellence in acting. While at the academy she played Electra at the Empire Theater before a brilliant and cosmopolitan audience and scored a distinct success. The next year she spent as a member of the faculty of Smith College, lecturing on the classic drama.

When the New Theater Company wTas organized in New York, Miss Kearns was chosen to take part in the first production at the endowed playhouse, and she remained with the company until its dispersion, two years later, after having appeared in nearly every production. Since then she has had experience with leading stock companies. Next fall and winter she will play, leading parts on Broadway.

Joseph Yanner, the leading man, began his stage career in that famous training school which yielded William Hodge, "Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch." He followed that with two seasons in "Strongheart" under the management of the late Henry B. Harris. The first year he played the part of Tommy Taylor, the Sophomore, and the second as Dick Livingston, the juvenile lead. From "Strongheart" Mr. Yanner went into vaudeville, playing the one-act sketches. The Shuberts then engaged Mr. Yanner to play the leading part in the road company of "The Lottery Man," \tfhile Cyril Scott was playing it in New York. Since then Mr. Yanner has played leading parts under the management of Henry W. Savage, together with special engagements in stock in Kansas City and at the West End Theater, New York..

Of all the company Miss Susanne Willa, who will play ingenue parts, is perhaps best known to Indianapolis theater-goers through her recent and decisively successful appearance here as Aggie Lynch in Bayard Veiller's "Within the Law."

James A. Bliss is the comedian of the company. Mr. Bliss has been on the stage for twenty years, and whatever he hasn't played and wherever he hasn't played in that time isn't worth playing. His most decisive success has been in "Baby Mine," in which he played for three seasons the part Otis Harlan played in here. In his varied career he has played in musical comedy, in vaudeville, in farce and in comedy.

Raymond Van Sickle, who will play juvenile parts, is an Indiana product. He was born and reared in Frankfort, Ind., and was graduuated from the Frankfort High School. His first professional engagement was with Mildred Holland in "The Triumph of an Empress." He followed that with a season in "The Timet iHe Place and the Girl," $ year in "Wildfire," a

Ernest C. Warde will be the stage director of the company and will play parts in every production. He

Why Not Have May Breakfasts? According to the May Woman's Home Companion, the town of Long Meadow, Massachusetts, has. since •1869, had every year what is called the May breakfast, instead of the church supper. Following is an extract from the article describing it: "The May Breakfast idea can be used elsewhere. In fact, it has already been taken up in several other towns, notably in Suffield, Conn. The event usually takes place on May Day. It is commonly managed by some church society, but could be equally well staged by a grange, a woman's club, or by a free committee representing the whole community, and all its social groups. Perhaps this would be the best of all ways. The arrangements would be made? by appropriate committees. There must be a committee on food, of course, and an able organization must that be in itself." dw

FRENCH MOTOR PILOT SEATS MR TIME

Jules Goux Will Drive Peugeot Car In Third Annual 500-Mile Race at Speedway

Indianapolis, Irid., April 26—Shattering all previous speed records, iiot excepting those of aviation, Jules Goux, the French motor pilot, has succeeded in covering 106 miles, 307 yards, in an hour, driving the Peugeot car which he will pilot in the third annual 500-mile International Sweepstakes Race, at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 30th. The best record made in a motor car heretofore was that of Percy Lambert, who, driving a Talbot car, made 103 miles, 114 yards in an hour. Goux's new record beats that of Vedrine, the aviator, who held the world's speed record, having made a flight at Chicago in which he covered 104%miles in an hour.

Goux haatbeen testing his car at Brooklands for several wreeks in preparation for the 500-mile race. Since Percy Lambert made his unusual record, Goux has made three efforts to beat it, succeeding on his third attempt. On his first trial the Frenchman proved that his car had the necessary speed, but a loosened shock absorber caused him to discontinue the run before the- hour had elapsed. During his second attempt he was beset with tire trouble and was compelled to make two stops. Even with this handicap he drove 100 miles, 321 yards in the alloted sixty minutes. The remarkable record which he has at last succeeded in making only bears out the statement he made when he first went to Brook? lands, in which he promised to defeat all world's records before participating in the Indianapolis race. The car which he is driving is now known throughout England and France as the Indianapolis Peugeot.

Goux must be a man with muscles of steel and a constitution of iron to withstand the great strain which he must have undergone, from hie photograph he is a man of little more than ordinary height and very slender. He has been brought up in the race game, however, and this fact may account for his great endurance.

Not only did the Frenchman shatter the hour mark, but he set new records for the 50 and 100mile marks. The former distance was negotiated in :28:18.65 and the latter in :56:29.93. The former records were by Lambert. He made the fifty miles in :29.04, and the 100 miles in :57:49.48 on February 15.

It is hard to appreciate the real speed which Goux attained. He traveled a distance of 106.29 miles in sixty minutes, or at a rate of 155 7-10 feet a second. If the car was equipped with 34x4 wheels, each wheel would have made 62,832 revolutions for the entire distance. The average touring car engine at a 3V2 to 1 ratio would have to turn over 3,665 times each minute to keep the pace. It has been figured out that if the driver had applied both brakes he could not have stopped his car in less than 1 1-10 miles, or 5,850 feet.

Comparing the speed of the Peugeot to the muzzle velocity of a 13inch gun used in the United States Navy, it is found, that Goux traveled more than 1-10 as fast as a ball from one of the large guns. The speed of the bullet is approximately 1,400 feet a second. These comparisons will assist, no doubt, in giving some faint idea of the great speed of the car.

British pride is said to have sustained a terrific blow by the success of the Frenchman, as the natives of England believe the marks set by their countryman could not be lowered. Goux has been after the records for some time and in his last attempt came close to breaking the mark for the hour. Tire trouble alone kept him from the goal. He kept right on trying, however, and the result has been another proof added to the long list of those which assert that perseverance conquers all things. is expected that the present mark will stand for a long time, but others may try just as hard, as it would seem that the limit has not been reached. Human endurance will have to be figured on when it comes to lowering, the mark and a limit will no doubt be established some day. What that limit will be can not be prophesied, but in ay probability it will be great enough toN overstep the present mark, if a mechanical product be found which will stand the strain.

While reports about gypsy bands having white girls are being investigated, it still seems that the report about the girl being with relatives refuses to be- downed. Detective Webster, of Indianapolis, who is working on the case, and who has been in-Wisconsin, where the relatives live, says they deny any knowledge of the girl's whereabouts. The girl disappeared from her home in New Castle March 21.

Ida Ghalfant, an aunt, and Eliza Whisler, the girl's grandmother, living in Platteville, Wis. Vercy Whisler, an uncle, of Madison, Wis., and S. S. Newton, another uncle, of Oregon, are the relatives mentioned in the detective's report. The aunt and grandmother were visited on April 12th, the report states, and they denied any knowledge of the whereabouts of the child. When Whisler was visited in Madison he contradicted himself, the detective says, with reference to communications between him and Ida Chalfant, and the uncle in Oregon. The uncle in Oregon is reputed to be wealthy and is said to have haa a strong liking for the little girl.

The gypsy theory at first entertained at New Castle has practically been abandoned. Detective Webster has not finished his investigation of the case. The father has issued the following bulletin: "To Whom it May Concern: "I have been sustained by the hope that our little girl is alive. Without that hope I do not know how I could have endured these weeks of suspense and waiting. Somehow I feel that before long, Catherine will be with us, alive and well. My appeal is to anyone who may know where Catherine is. Surely, surely there is no one, who, knowing where she is and knowing what I have suffered, will keep her from us longer. "My means are small, but I am willing to give for her return everything I possess—to the last farthing. There will be no questions asked. I do not want revenge. I want only my daughter. "W. A.

Sayjj No Questions Will Be Asked On Her Return—Gypsy Clews Are Being Run Down

Dr. W. A. Winters, father of Catherine Winters, the 9 year old girl who so mysteriously disappeared from her home in New Castle several weeks ago, has been in Chicago this week. He was on his way to Laporte, Ind., from which place he had word that a 9 year old white girl had been seen with a band of gypsies.

Another clew relating to a little girl being hidden by gypsies, near Sycamore, 111., is being looked into by members of the Chicago police force. Police Sergeant Joseph Duback, who made a run of 200 miles in his automobile Wednesday, said that a leader of a band of gypsies when questioned made admissions which will eventually lead to the finding of the girl, but he declined to disclose the information, but asserted that he thought the girl was near Sycamore.

The cattle market has held' its own in fact, advanced a little in some classes.

The grain market remains at the same prices with a strong tone. In some places wheat has brought a few cents over the dollar mark.

Eggs have advanced on account of the limited supply. The usual price is 17 cents, but where buyers were short for their trade, they have sprung the price to 18 cents.

The butter market has weakened a little, due to the increase of that product. The number of fresh cows and the arrival of the grazing season has increased the amount of butter on the market.
