GREENFIELD REPUBLICAN

PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY

SPENCER PUBLISHING CO. Newton R. Spencer, Editor and Mgr.

Entered at the Postoffice in Greenfield, Indiana, as second-class mail matter.

The official .representatives say that the main benefit to come from so

many investigations, is to awaken, inform and educate the people to a true sense of conditions as

they exist. It is well that the people know the true conditions in public affairs. It is well that they know the influences which produce certain effects. The people should Mow what they need in the way •f legislation, and they should know how to secure that thing against all opposition. The people must not, however, in the exposes made, lose confidence in humanity. There always has been corruption in public affairs and influences and there always will be. There is perhaps as little corruption now as at any period in many years. The thing for the people to do is to so inform themselves so that they are able to determine for themselves what is really corrupt and dishonest influence and practice, and what is legitimate. The first requisite to such ability is to rid oneself of selfish partisanship. To be able to look at everything fairly and impartially. The effect of such a condition of the public mind would be most wholesome. It would produce a condition which would be the strongest conceivable barrier to general dishonesty and corruption in public affairs. The only real solution of wrong in public affairs rests with the people. They hold the keys to the situation. If when they detect irregularity in the primary steps of political organization, they condemn and eliminate it, there would not be much corruption in the final conventions and elections. If every man who indorses questionable practices in the elementary parts of political organization or candidates were condemned and deprived of power, few officers in high places will be found wanting when their political acts are weighed in the balance.

Determined to Protect Game. July 1st the season for killing squirrels opened. There is nothing that the average farmer resents in these days more than the intrusion of the hunter. Game is scarce. The territory in which squirrels thrive, has been restricted until they have very few places suitable to them. Many farmers, if they have squirrels on their farms, do not want them killed at all. They enjoy seeing them skid around from tree to tree, and they think as much of them as they do of their other domestic animals, and will not even kill them for their own use. Others farmers guard them carefully in order that they may have them for their own use. In either case they strongly resent the professional hunter who steals into their timber lands and takes away their property. They would resent such in trusion as quickly as if he would take or destroy any of their other property. With the feeling so pronounced against hunting, and the feeling growing much stronger all the time, hunters may expect trouble if they enter any land without first securing a permit to do so. A number of farmers near Greenfield are determined to at least protect their own farms from such intruders, and they will prosecute to the bitter end, all trespassers.

The citizens of Greenfield and vicinity are much annoyed by trespassers. This is especially the case along the streams, where parties fish and go swimming. The owners are not inclined to complain of people fishing and swimming, but they do object to having their gates left open and fences torn down. The damage done by people who] are permitted to enter premises for fishing, hunting and swimming, if not discontinued will eventually cause everybody to be excluded. Cases of wire fences being cut so that hogs could get out, gates left open and slats taken out of fences are reported as common practices. One party who Has buildings along the creek reports that, he has found as many as twenty caps off of beer .bottles in his buildings at one time.

No one wants their buildings made a rendezvous for drinking fishermen. When he sees such things 'he is inclined to forbid all persons from fishing on his premises. If

f"the

time ever comes when fishing *$s forbidden on private property, it -swill be because privileges have been abused. Owners of property Swill resent the destruction of their •property, and it is right that they ^/should. No one has a right to go on private property to fish. If they are not prosecuted for trespass, it is because the owner does not see fit to bring action. f"

OBITUARY

Again the death angel has visited our home and taken from us a loving daughter and sister.

Thou art gone to the land of thy rest Then why should our, hearts be so sad? We know thou art gone where the weary are blessed.

Alma J. Keaten, daughter of Thomas and Elmira Keaten, was born August 21, 1872, in Rush county, Indiana, and departed this life July 4, 1913, age 40 years, 10 months and 13 days. She leaves a mother, three sisters, one brother, and a host of relatives and friends to mourn her loss. Her father, one brother and one sister have preceded her to the better land.

At the age of 15 she united with the Little Sugar Creek Christian church, under the ministry of Rev. G. C. Price, and later moved her membership to the Christian church at Fountaintown, Indiana, where she remained a member until her death. Alma was a firm believer in the Christian faith, and was willing to do anything in her power to hold up the crown for Jesus.

Alma has been so afflicted the last few years of her life that she could not attend church. She has often said that she was willing and ready to die, that she might be relieved of her suffering. She bore her suffering willingly and patiently, notwithstanding the pains and distress, relying on the promises of God.

Daughter, thou art sadly missed in our home, but we who cared for you, and witnessed your affictions, know you now have the rest you prayed for, but could not have while here on earth.

It has been but a short time since we met in gladness, but how our hopes are blighted since your smile no longer lights up our home, and there is a vacant chair which never can be filled.

From the echoing tomb comes the happy, consoling reflection that on that beautiful shore in the sweet by and by, we shall all meet again.

The funeral service was held at her late home in Fountaintown at 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon, conducted by Rev. Ernest A. Addison and wife. Burial at Little Sugar Creek cemetery.

From our circle, dearest one, Quickly hast thou passed away, But the angels say, love ones,

Join our holy band today.

As the dove from Noah's window Did return from o'er the flood, So the gentle spirit took its flight,

Back to the bosom of its God.

Thou art taken from our number, Laid in the dark and silent tomb, Closed the eye in deathless slumber

Faded in life's early bloom.

See, she beckons from the portals Of our Father's home above Weep not for me, dear ones,

Meet me in the land of love.

Oh, how oft we've met in gladness, Round the fireside in our home, Where now reigns an air of sadness

Since we are left alone.'

Yes, again we hope to meet thee, When our days of life have fled, And in Heaven with joy to greet thee,

Where no farewell tears are shed. (Advertisement)

(THE FIRST STATE BANK IN HANCOCK COUNTY.)

—DIRECTORS-

Tke farmers who have hogs are much qpnceraed about the spread of cholera in sections of Hancock county. The prospects for a big corn crop are good and the price for hogs is high. Both point to profit for the farmer if he can avoid cholera. There are a great many hogs in the county. No one appreciates how much is lost each year by the disease. Persons in the business should not leave anything undone that can be done to prevent the disease. Farmers can afford to expend money liberally on approved preventives rather than take any chances. Now is the time to begin.
