Taxpayers are very much opposed to an increasean the valuation of property for taxation. They Bay that no matter how high the valuation of property is made, the rate is not lowered.

Frnly Gray was re-nominated at the Democratic convention at Cambridge City Tuesday, no other candidate being before the ygpnvention. His nomination, without any opposition, however, must not taken as an indication that he is the unanimous choice of his parly. .There is strong opposition to him.

He is probably the most unpopular Congressman in Indiana He not only is not popular, but he does not command the confidence of the Democrats of the district. He does not have any strong, unselfish supporters. Even if he should be fortunate enough to be elected next fall, he will never be able, to secure the nomination in 1916. The opposition will be organized in two years, and they will have a candidate which will command the support of the united opposition.

One of the most serious features of public business is the reckless^ expenditure of public money. It seems impossible' for public officials to secure returns on public money expended on the same basis that private individuals do. When the day comes, if ever it. does, that public money is as carefully expended as individual money, the burden of taxation will be greatly lessened. We do not belong to the class of people who begrudge the money that is required to pay for the public advantages that we enjoy. We know that when taxes were low. public advantages were few\ We do not expect something lor nothing. There are still many public improvements which w-e would like to see, and for which we w7ould be willing to pay our portion of expense. It is not our desire to complain of the real public improvements that we get. It is the expenditure of large sums of money for wbicli the proper compensation is not secured which the people complain of. True economy will be effected when public affairs are conducted on the same economical basis on which private affairs are.

By the kindness of William A. Hughes, we are printing elsewhere in this issue an extract from "The Hartford Agent," including pictures of Mr. and Mrs. James A. Flippo and their home on North Pennsylvania street. For almost half a century Mr. Flippo has carried an insurance policy in the Hartford Fire Insurance Company. The extract gives an interesting brief history of the life of Mr. and Mrs. Flippo, who are two of Greenfield's well known elderly people.

If you have something to sell, advertise it in this paper. It is a very common thing for one neighbor to .have for sale the very thing that another neighbor wants, and still not know it. Advertisements in this paper have frequently sold horses, cows, sheep and hogs to the seller's nearest neighbor. Had it not been for the advertisement neither would have known about the other. Advertising is the shortest road between the seller and the buyer.

The protection necessary to prevent the spread of smallpox in any community is vaccination. Whenever that disease makes its appearance, every person who has not been successfully vaccinated within ten years of such time should be vaccinated. It is a precaution that every good citizen owes to the general welfare, to say nothing of what he owes to himself. Of course it makes business for the doctors, but it is legitimate business, and they would be fools if they did not take advantage of it when it came their way. But if the public begrudges the physician what he gets out of the vaccination business, let there be provision that the public health officer vaccinate people free, and that he be paid a stipulated minimum fee out of the public treasury for such services. We believe that everybody should be compelled to be vaccinated, and were such the case it would be impossible for an epidemic of smallpox to sweep over the entire country, as it is now doing.

A Wonderful Growth During the last five years our bank has experienced a wonderful growth. In that time we have doubled our capital stock and added One Thousand Dollars every six months to our "Surplus Fund", which is now Ten

Judge Jackson was at Republican headquarters last night, talking o|g£r the political situation with Secretary Henley. The unusually heavy demand for hotel accommodations, together with the interest Secretary Henley has found prevails over the state, indicates that the approaching convention of the G. 0. P. will probably be the largest the Republicans have ever held.

The Severin management has put in an order with a firm of decorators for some wonderfully effective flags and banners and during the convention, April 21st, 22d and 23d, the hotel will be a blaze of patriotic colors.

House Passes Repeal measure. The House of Representatives on Tuesday evening voted to repeal the provision of the Panama Canal act, exempting American vessels from the payment of tolls. The vote on the repeal bill was 247 to 161, a majority of 86 votes.

Candidate for State Superintendent Horace Ellis has announced his candidacy for State Superintendent of Pubfic Instruction, subject to the decision of the Republican State Convention.

The Vincennes Capital says of him: "At the approaching State Republican convention the name of President Horace Ellis, of Knox county, will be presented as an aspirant for the nomination to the office of Superintendent of Public Instruction. In yielding to the demand of hundreds of Indiana Re-' pyblicans to permit his name to be' used as a candidate for this office, I Dr. Ellis sacrifices a strong desire to be merely a worker for party I success, and will at once enter upon I an aggressive campaign for the1 honor of a nomination. "Throughout a lifetime he has! been actively engaged in education-' al work of the state as rural teacher, as village principal, as city superintendent, as state normal president—certainly his professional experience ought to commend him to the Indiana voters with peculiar charm. In his work with Indiana teachers as institute lecturer, he has become well acquainted with hundreds of teachers .who will welcome his candidacy. "Brought up in Morgan county, of country parentage, trained in the country schools at the outset, he appreciates the life of Indiana's farmer folk completely. A graduate of the State University, postgraduate of Butler College, he enjoys the confidence of college men throughout the state."

Judge Jackson is the second of the Republican candidates to be assigned headquarters. He will have a suite on the mezzanine floor, near the apartments of Judge Quincy A. Myers, candidate for Supreme Court Judge. Nearly every mail brings applications, for reservations of rooms from some part of the state. Since the Severin is now the home of the Republican State Committee, the leaders over the state naturally want to be near the committee. The management is arranging to take care of everyone comfortably.

FRIDflr, (PHIL I7TH INDIANA MR DAY

Governor Ralston Urges State-Wide Observance of the Day By Planting Trees.

Arbor Day is to be observed in Indiana on April 17th, when it is hoped that active interest will be taken not only by school children, but by all civic and patriotic organizations, as well as by farmers in planting trees and shrubbery on home grounds and along highways. Governor Ralston has shown his interest in this public movement by a proclamation in which he says: "The State of Indiana was in its natural condition a forest of such varied magnificence that it had no superior in the whole country. From divers causes the wooded places have been decimated until they are threatened with practical destruction unless the people of the state come to the rescue with a systematic effort to stop the useless waste and restore in some measure this valuable resource and multiform asset to the state.

Now, therefore, I, in obedience to the law of the state, and in recognition of the evils avoided and the benefits secured by this course, do hereby designate Friday, Aprii 17, 1914, as Indiana Arbor Day. Its careful observanc^by every public school in the state is directed under the law and all other schools, colleges and universities are urged to co-operate by appropriate exercises in making the observance of this day universal. It. is also requested that all municipal and county governments, women's clubs and fraternal societies, commercial clubs and other organizations and individuals throughout the state show regard for the day and its beneficent purpose by planting trees and in such other way as may by them seem most promotive of this important cause."

"Madame Moselle" at the Murat. Several months ago, in Paris, Prance, Lady Duff-Gordon, who is professionally known as a modiste, as "Lucile," and to whom the fashionable female world continually looks for innovations, introduced a ieature at a Parisian society function which consisted of a lady with hair powdered with a pigment which exactly matched the color of her gown. This was quite well received at the time, but subsequently Madame Lucile went a step farther and discovered that it would be a big improvement to wear a delicately colored wig to match the shades of the various frocks worn by milady beautiful. It was little thought that the fad would spread to all sections of the civilized world ,but this has really occurred, and as showmen are really the ones to adopt the latest edicts of fashion for stage use, so it, is that Chase &

Everall, the managers of "Madame Moselle," the new musical offering which will hold sway at the Murat theater, Indianapolis, for three nights starting Thursday, April 2d, with a Saturday matinee, have grasped this idea and incorporated it as one of the numerous newthings of the production. Of course the entire presentation of "Madame Moselle" must be termed "new," as it has only had a short tenure of life so far, this city being the third engagement which it has played. The music, which is an essential factor in it, was written by a composer who has embellished fortyone different librettos with his melodies. He is Ludwig Englander, whose iVienese creations have frequently been heard and enjoyed by lovers of the lighter musical works. There are some nineteen numbers in the piece at the present time, and it is said that there are at least six of them that are of a nature that will surely be easily memorized and whistled by those who hear them. Among the latter might be mentioned "Fll be There," "Ding Dong," and the "Madame Moselle Waltz," which it can be safely predicted will rival in popularity the celebrated Merry Widow Waltz. Edward A Paulton wrote the American version of the book and lyrics. The production was staged by Geo. W. Lederer, whose skill and adoitness has been exemplified by many well known presentments, and particularly so by one of his more recent music plays, "Madame Sherry." A coterie of singers and comic players will interpret the various roles, among which are the names of Jefferson De Angelis, Diane d' Aubrey, Jack Henderson, Olga Roller, Ernest Lambart, William Pruette, Delia Nivens, Helene Novita, Hallen Mostyn, Royal Cutter, and last but not least the "Beauty Model" chorus who will be seen in the \frigs of the many colors, consisting of green, pink, purple, tango, blue, silver, cerise and turquoise. dw (AAwrtlMintatt

Another Concert Announced. Ona B. Talbot wishes to announce to the patrons of her conceits, and the general public in the State of Indiana, the approaching concert, by the world renowned Mme. Luisa Tetrazzini, Tuesday evening, April 21st.

—Diva Born Lucky—

Mme. Luiza Tetrazzini, the famous Italian soprano, who is to sing at Indianapolis Tuesday evening, April 21st, at the Shubert Murat Theater, is one of the few musicians who has achieved much with comparatively little effort.-Her first teacher, Cocherini, began her instruction when the pupil was 15 years of age. At the end -of six months he refused to continue, on the ground that she already possessed all his knowledge of singing. During this time Tetrazzini principally studied phrasing and interpretation. This was all the regular musical education she ever received. Today the skill'and finish so easily acquired are maintained with as little effort. Except when she is to sing at a matinee, she plays the piano in the afternoon, and sings several songs, but never practices with her voice. The rehearsals, apparently, are all that is required in the way of vocal exercise. The diva believes that if a girl is well developed, with broad shoulders and deep chest, she should begin study at 15. If she be narrow-chested and delicate, it would be best to wait until she is 18. If colorature exercises tire or irritate her throat she should stop, otherwise her voice will be ruined. Italy she names as the best place to

study

singing, believing the

Italian method to be the best, as well as the aids in the form of climate, which is good for the bronchial tubes and the language which is good for the singing tones.

President Fallieres, of France, heard Mme Tetrazzini at a royal performance in England at the recent coronation of King George V., and was so delighted that he broke through the etiquette prescribed for such occasions, and applauded. Later, when he asked for performances in his country, Tetrazzini cheerfully agreed, only stipulating that the operas selected be Italian. This, of course, is against all custom and against the rule of the government subsidized Paris opera. Accordingly a special bill had to be passed by the French Chamber of Deputies to permit it. This was done and Paris enjoyed and applauded and appreciated Tetrazzini and her magnificent voice, as we shall have the opportunity of doing soon.
