The Republican District ConMenlions in Indiana this week indicate that the old party will come back.

Every day brings declarations from some former Progressive of national reputation, that he is back in the Republican fold.

the United States in competition with their farm products.

A billion dollar Congress would be a terrible thifig if the Republicans were in power in the United States, but the Democratic National lawmakers are not able to hold down the expenditures of the government to the point that the Republicans did.

Government ownership in a general way should be approached by the United States very cautiously. As things are now, the government seems to have a pretty big contract on its hands. It has plenty of trouble of its own without owning the telephones, telegraphs, railroads and other public utilities.

The frantic elforts being made in some places by some of the Progressive leaders to prevent the return of many Republicans who voted the Progressive ticket in 1912. to former party affiliations, is proving far from successful. The Progressive party will lose most of its voters in the Congressional elections this year. Even the strictly machine methods so much denounced by Progressive leaders two years ago. but which thoy are urging to In' u.ed in organization this year, will not avail much in the great'exodus from the new'party back to the ranks of the old. It is not si range that, such a return should occur. The split or division in th(j Republican party was not a split on the principles. It wgs a division on leadership. If Theodore Roosevelt had received the nomination at the Republican convention, he would have remained a Republican, and there would not have been any Progressive parly. The Progressive vote of 1912 was not against Republican principles. It was a vote of protest against the methods used at the Chicago convention. At, the time the rank and file of the unselfish voters who supported 1 lie- Progressive ticket were just as good

felt that they Republicans as ed Mr. Tai't. feel now that 1912 has had party, and has needed lesson.

I hose who supporlThal rank and file

the pi-'test vote of S efi'ect mi the old taught it a much and they are n.adv

to affiliate again: and the Republicans are willing and anxious to welcome them, making- any reason-, able concessions. The light which Progressive leaders are making' against the affiliation of publicans and Progressives in combination against the Democrats may be the very thing which in the coming election will disclose party weakness. We honestly expect the Progressive party lo cast this year less than half the vote it cast in 1912. Wait and see. ,=

All new things are not necessarily good things—nor better things than the old. There can be no .justifiable objections to true advancement'and progress. The tendency of all times has been for better tilings, but the real advancement of the past, has been in the rejection of the spurious and the acceptance of the good and the true. The worthy leader and genuine reformer is the one who is wise enough to discern between the true and the false. When doubts arise, and there is confusion and uncertainty, a good rule is to .hold fast to that which has been Jried and proved good. It. is a -much better rule than to abandon the known for an unknown which is in an experimental state. Much that is called advancement may not be progress. The form of the

United States Government has been marvelously good in practical experience. Anything looking to radical changes in the fundamental ^principles upon* which our government was founded should be regarded with suspicion. No other form of government has done .so much to make the lives of its people so comfortable and happy as that in the United States. There

TAX SALE OF LOTS AND LANDS

Our Christmas Savings Club is a Co-Operative Plan to help one another save money for Christmas by paying a little every week into a fund for 42 weeks. At the close of this Club period, you may receive cash or place the same on deposit.

EVERYTHING ADVERTISED BY TREASURER IS SOLD AT ANNUAL SALE IN FRONT OF

THE COURT HOUSE

The sale of lots and lands for taxes was held by Treasurer Allen F. Cooper Monday morning in front of the court house. There were fifty-nine lots and parcels of land advertised to sell for taxes, and every piece was sold. This is an unusual occurrence, as generally many pieces are left unsold.

The selling of lots and lands for taxes is an annual occurrence, the treasurer taking this method under the law to make up any delinquent taxes on the same. People who have some ready money at this time find these tax sales good investments, as the owners of the land sold usually redeem them and the purchaser at the tax sale is entitled to and gets a good per cent, on the price paid by him or her.

is no good reason why the people of this happy country should be uneasy under its present form of government so long as they have sufficient information to judge of its excellency. We belong to the old-school citizens who love and

Attorney General Rules That Guilty

Men Must Pay Complete Fines and Cost or Serve Full Time

In 4he future, a person sent to jail for failure to pay a fme and costs, cannot serve part of the time and then gain his release by paying the remainder. He will find it compulsory to pay the entire amount of the fine and costs even if he has served all but one day of his time.

Attorney General Thomas M. Honan has issued an opinion to this effect. In the past, a person fined $1 and costs being unable to pay the amount, was sentenced to jail for eleven days or a day for each dollar. If he served eight days of that time and then paid $3, he was released. Although this custom has been followed in a great many cities, it is contrary to the law, according to the recent ruling of the attorney general, and to gain his release after having served eight days, the prisoner will have to pay the. entire $11.

The bitterly cold weather kept many people at home, but those who heard this paper read have a much wider vision of the duties, opportunities and usefulness of a true physician in the community.

Dr. Allen in his introduction said: "Man is a dual creature, that he has a physical being into which has been breathed the breath of life, and thus became a spiritual being as well. He is the culmination of all of God's handiwork in the physical sense, and in addition is given that greatest endowment, mind." In this connection, he quoted Oliver Wendell Holmes' poem, "The Living Temple." Continuing, the speaker said: "It must ever be remembered that we live within a house that our mental being lives within our physical being, and that the inner man will never grow beyond the outer man. They must develop together and he who is developed mentally and not physically, or vice versa, is only one-half a man, a miserable lop-sided creature. No mind ever developed to its fullest capabilities or powers in adverse physical conditions or in a defec-tive-body. The true physician's opportunity for making the world better, is not surpassed by any pro-

calling. His is the hap-

py work of being able to free the individual of many of his fetters and assist in the removing of the physical defects, and thereby his mental deficiencies and weaknesses. But his opportunities are not without responsibilities. His lot is cast in ihe realms aside from the sordid things of I lie materialistic world in many ways.

his greatest need and deepest financial embarrassments. His emotions are stirred, his sympathies are aroused and he lives in the realm of philanthropy and not of the business world.' The physician is looked to and expected to supply that most valuable asset of all— health. Human life, the most precious of all' treasures, the physician must guard and guide through the inroads of the attacking enemy —disease, and restore safely the jewel to- its happy possessor."Such are the responsibilities, the opportunities and the duties of all

are just as incumbent on the physician as any other member of the community. These duties are not all contained within the ubiquitous pill-bag, for as a man having neighbors the doctor finds other pathological conditions besides those of the body to deal with. If the physician is not a leader in the various movements which constitute the social life of the community in which he lives, then he has failed to properly appreciate the opportunities of his profession. "One of the great advantages of a so-called higher education is to awaken the individual to a broader view and more liberal appreciation of what it means to live. To be a neighbor, a citizen, is a greater calling than to be a lawyer, a doctor, or a preacher not less a doctor, but more a man. A man may be a true Christian in any of the callings or professions, and the calling or profession afford him opportunity of letting his light so shine before men that they may see his good works and glorify their Father which is in Heaven. "The medical profession affords

one of t{ie greatest opportunities for the true Christian to manifest himself. His influence and position renders him a vantage point from which he can wield the most powerful influence for everything which is elevating and«true, and he can direct the wayward ones to the One who is able to heal not only the body, but the sufferings of the sin-sick soul as well. "The greatest physician, Jesus, honored the profession of medicine by selecting as one of His chosen apostles, St. Luke, who is styled 'The Beloved Physician.' This is the only member of our profession whose name is embalmed in the Book of Books. But he is a most worthy representative. St. Luke 'followed his Master's footsteps near the sea of Galilee, and about the

Syrian hill-paths, doing good. He was the first Christian physician, and his service to the community in which he lived was of untold value. His influence was with the church and it is the duty of every Christian physician to ally himself with the church—direct others into a new life. "Many realize that the way of the transgressor is hard that the wages of sin is death, and when they awaken to this realization they need but a word from scope wise counsellor and their energies are directed in new paths. The Christian physician can find ample opportunity, and in a tactful waypoint to the One who is able to keep from falling, ail who look to Him. "All Christians are commanded to visit sick and relieve the distressed, but it must be done only in a proper spirit. The gossipy, tale-bear-ing, disgruntled individual has no place within the sick chamber. He who can not go with good cheer, bearing the flowers of hope and encouragement, had best remain away. The sordid minded and the meddlesome should be told that their absence is preferred to their presence. I "An immoral physician is the worst character that walks upon God's footstool. He is a walking pestilence! Shun him as you would a viper! No greate:- calamity can befall a community than fo have such a doctor in its midst. He will slay the innocent, destroy virtue, and bring sorrow ,o many homes that is worse than death. "Better suffer a jhysician infected with smallpox to attend you than to place yourlelf or a member of your family in1 charge of one who has no sense 'of moral obligation, or is a deger"frate in the paths of virlue. jj "The first qu!liiications of a physician are mo ulity and religion. These are the foundation'of all true character. The man who has no sensitive regard for' right because it is right-, and Gd because He is God, is no proper custodian of the precious lives of innocent women and children. ]\'b excellencies that a man possesses! can atone for the lack of these dualities.

RECORD THAT IS HARD TO BEAT

Charles MeClarnon Sells $504.34 Worth of Cream in Year From Seven Cows.

A dairy record that would be hard to beat is reported by Charles MeClarnon, a well known young farmer of Jackson township. In talking of cows and dairy records Monday while in Greenfield, Mr. MeClarnon said he had seven cows from which he sold $504.34 worth of cream in one year. This is an average of a little more than $72 for each cow, or the price of a good cow. Of course it costs something to feed the cows and produce the cream which sells for $72, but Mr. MeClarnon says he figures that the skim milk, calves and fertilizer produced by the cows, pay? full price for the feed consumed, leaving the cream as a clear profit/
