If all the men vote the Republican ticket this fall who now say they will, the election will be unanimous.

The Republicans expect to have one of the largest state conventions this year that was ever held in Indiana. Already there is a great demand for tickets. There will be several fine speeches delivered

A Democratic farmer said a. few days ago that he did not know but one farmer in his neighborhood who was going to vote th£ Democratic ticket, and the reason he was was going to do so was because some of his relatives wanted a county office.

George W. Parker, a former ^county commissioner, and one of the best known farmers in Hancock county, is probably the most outspoken Democrat in the county against the present Demcoratic administration. He is talking against the present revenue law in,no uncertain way. and his talks are sure to have effect.

The taxpayers of Indiana cannot expect taxation to be less under the present extravagant management of Indiana. Under Republican management of Indiana, debts were paid. Under Democratic administration the revenues of the state are not sufficient to pay expenses. The state is obliged to borrow money to pay the salaries of its officials.

The farmers have their attention called to new competition on their products by the arrival of a ship with more than 500.000 dozen eggs .from China. The new tariff tyill seems to lit the farmers hard. When they vote next November for

Congressmen they will not vote their party prejudice they will vote for their business and financial interests.

W. K. Deem, editor of the Knight,stown Banner, was in Greenfield Wednesday on business with the Win. .Mitchell Printing Company, and called at this office. Mr. Deem is a practical printer as well as a successful and prosperous newspaper man. Thirly years ago, when.a boy. he worked at his trade in the Republican office in this city for Editor Nixon.

Every recent election indicales that the people still have confidence in the principles of the Republican party. The party of Lincoln will still continue to command the confidence of the people. Its successful management of Ihe affairs of the United Stales for lifly years in which many vital questions came up for settlement, will not be forgotten by an intelligent people. The Republican party was not repudiated in 1912. It was the party bosses. The vote of that year must not be regarded as representing the true relation between the parties. Many Republicans voted the Progressive ticket two years ago, not because they were not Republicans, but because they wanted to defeat certain men on the Republican tickets. That has been accomplished. They have taught certain men in their party a needed lesson, and now th6y will vote again with the party which can most successfully manage this country.

Vaccination and Smallpox.1 The prevalence of smallpox in Indiana is causing a great deal of ^comment. In the first place, many people say that the disease is not y-smallpox, but that it is chickenpox.

Suclj people say that it is a graft ^of the doctors to cause the people to be vaccinated. On the other /hand, physicians say that the prev^slence of smallpox loses them much money. They say that most people are not willing to call a physician

who is treating any one with small0 pox. So there you are. It is our ^honest opinion that physicians who k/have good business would prefer ,not to have any smallpox business.

The spread of smallpox is due more to the carelessness of the people than anything else. They protest against the restraint which is caused by smallpox. People who are afflicted do not seem to care what exposure they subject other people.to. The milder the form of the disease, the more difficult the "health officers find it is to suppress

A Wonderful Growth During

the

wonderful growth. In

it. The disease is said to often appear in a form so mild that it is often taken for chickenpox, but it continues to spread until it assumes the malignant form. A physician in another town said a few- days ago that it would take a few dealhs before the people were properly aroused to the necessity of guarding against the spread of the disease. The money being expended throughout the state for vaccination is not wasted. It is well spent. It is necessary for a smallpox epidemic to appear every few years in order to drive people to vaccination so that they are immune from the disease.

A New Yorker who has frequented the National Capital for years, ^ays the economy evident among many young Congressmen makes the old town of Washington, D. C. look slow. The people of the country will be delighted to learn of such change. There has always been too much extravagance at Washington. The extravagant habits contracted by representatives of the people in the National Capital have detracted from their usefulness to the people. The practice of economy by Congressmen and Senators at Washington should commend them to the people. If a Congressman lived in Washington as he would in Greenfield or Connersville, there would not be so much snobbery there. True economy means the transaction of public business on the same basis as private business.

The people of Greenfield will be called upon within a few weeks to vote upon the question whether or not our city shall be wet or dry. Under the law, every voter has a right to vote on such occasions for or against the saloons. 'I^ie Legislative bodies and the courts regard the saloons and the liquor traffic an evil that must be restrained, circumscribed and restricted. There are many people and even high public officials in the state and nation who contend that even the manufacture of alcoholic liquors should be prohibited. The evil consequencesv,of the liquor business are so great and penetrate so completely into all the transactions of life that there is no staying the trend of public sentiment against itThere is not a business in the whole country but is injured in some way by it. There is not a home but feeis its baleful influence. Even the men who engage in the business oftentimes become its victims. The people who oppose the traffic in alcoholic liquors through the regular channels of the law owe no apology to people who, for the mere financial gain they secure, engage in a business fraught \vi4h so much suffering and crime.

The Chicago women who were candidates in the city election Tuesday were all defeated. Only a small per cent, of the women voted. The city went wet.

OBITUARY

Charles E.. son of O. W. and Mary B. Kearns. was born in Hancock county, 11id.. April 6* 1875, where he grew to manhood, acquiring the common school education, together with three years in high school at Carthage, Tnd. As a child he was quiet, unassuming and somewhat, reserved. On entering manhood, he was not inclined to follow the worldly amusements so enticing to a great many young men. At the age of 11 years (although a birthright, member with the Society of Friends) he gave his heart to God. From this lime (perhaps not always enjoying the fullness of His love) lie continually lived in touch with the Master, was very conscientious, always preferring others to himself. In the language of St. Paul. "For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus, the Lord. And ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake."' When 19 years of age. the father (a minister of the Gospel with the Friends) was called from works to rewards. The only sister and an older brother having homes of their own to care for, Charles in a great measure, took up the mantle, his father laid down. Hence he with the mother and younger brother, lived for years on the old home place. He assumed responsibilities, caring for and looking after the interests of the farm and home.

In the early spring, March 7, 1906. he was united in marriage with Mary Addie Worrell. Tn the fall of the same year they went to Pratt county, Kansas, where they engaged in some pastoral work, intending to locate for a permftent home some place in the West. In the fall of 1909, they went to Stevens county. Kansas, locating on the land that since has been his home. He with his wife served Rose Valley Friends Meeting as pastors to the present time, their services being much appreciated. And the going out of this faithful life means that the responsibility or mantle that he has laid down must rest on other shoulders. Not only Rose Valley Meeting will feel the loss, but Fowler Quarterly, which he has faithfully served in the capacity of clerk for the past three years. His spirit and judgment in church matters always carried weight and consideration. His brief and fatal illness (pneumonia) came with a shock to his many friends on the evening of March 14, 1914. age 38 years, 10 months and 29 days. He leaves to mourn his death a loving wife, two bright little daughters, Marguerite, age 5. and Mildred, age 3, an aged mother, one sister, two brothers and a host of friends. (Advertisement)
