A party which increases the public indebtedness and the burden of taxation is always unpopular with the voters, but is doubly so when business is in a disturbed condition as it is now. Debt and tax increasing is the record of the Democratic -party in Indiana.
A few Progressive Christian soldiers still have faith in the results of the coming elections, but there is no argument in faith.
The caution sounded to citizens of gthe United States by President '^"Wilson as to their conduct on the ^European war, is timely, and should -be heeded. The fight is not ours, "and the interests of the United ^States and her people will be promoted by strict neutrality.
The irregularity in the enactment jof laws by the last legislature was too serious to escape notice and criticism. No law should find its way on the statute books of the SL state wilhout being properly enacted. Still such a thing happened v'in the last legislature.
A prominent Progressive said a "P few days ago that Coli Roosevelt "was playing politics in New York.
Surely such is not the case. Surely
so great politics.
a man would not play
There is without doubt a bipar-
5- tisan agreement between the DemoV\ cratic bosses and Progressives in Indiana to co-operate against the
Republicans during the campaign ,1' and at the election. It is not difflcult to find a reason. __

Quite a number of friends wer present and refreshments were served. Many nice presents were received. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Walker, of Jackson township, and the groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. John Kennedy, of Warrington.
An infare reception was given at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Kennedy Sunday evening. The young couple will go to housekeeping on the farm of S. M. Addison in Jackson township. They have the best wishes of a large circle of friends.
The recent reports of the state fire marshal show that only a very small per cent of the lightning fires are of rodded buildings. In fact, it is said that where buildings are properly rodded, there have been no fires from lightning. Some insurance companies have taken such action that the rate on unrodded buildings is higher and on properly rodded buildings, correspondingly lower, according to the fire marshal's report.
Elmer Williams, of Jackson township, sold a few days ago to Nathan Cranfil a car load of 50 hogs which weighed 13.425 pounds, an average of 208 pounds each. They brought 1 ^wnship, one of Hancock county's him $1,241.82. Mr. Williams says
It remained for a Hancock countj farmer to test out completely and demonstrate thoroughly and satisfactorily the efficiency of lightning rods, or what answered the purpose just as well for him.

E TREE
SAVED HIS STOCK
Hancock County Farmer Has Fully Demonstrated Value of Lightning Rods.
The efficiency of lightning rods as almost, if not quite absolute protection to buildings rodded, has been demonstrated .pretty thoroughly during the past few years, when there has been an unusual amount of lightning damage in this state.
wealthiest, most up-to-
date and prosperous farmers, is the only person we know of. who had the courage of his convictions on this subject to the extent that he was willing to stand for the fun and jokes of unbelievers and not only protected his buildings, but also proved the efficiency of the lightning rod on a shade tree. Mr. Braddock had a fine shade tree, under which his stock gathered during every storm. He w?as uneasy and finally decided to protect the tree and his stock if possible.
He drove a gas pipe deep into the ground underneath the tree and then connected, piece after piece, until it reached higher than the tree, passing up through the branches. He did not know that it would work, but in a few days, following a storm, he found that a stroke of lightning had burjied a path through the leaves of the tree and passed off down the iron pipe. The tree and his stock were uninjured, and there is no doubt that this fact was due entirely to the presence of the gas pipe lightning rod. This occurred several years ago and a good many people who knew of the experiment at the time laughed and joked about the rodded shade tree. People do not laugh at lightning rods now, however, their efficiency have been too completely demonstrated. In talking on this subject a few days ago, Mr. Braddock said he believed that proper rodding of buildings was absolute protection from lightning and wh$i
WHY NOT THEATRE
An Elaborate Show, Horse Fair Week—Detective Story, Race Horse Picture and Other
Features.
(From Daily Reporter of Aug. 17.) The management of the Why Not Theatre is arranging for this popular photo play house to be the feature attraction for those attending the carnival and horse fair, August 24-29.
The pictures which will be seen are the finest that can be had. On Wednesday will be presented the great defective story, entitled "The Black 13," and on Thursday a very sensational horse race picture entitled "The Kissing Cup," both of which are wonderful pictures and the variety that every one likes to see. "The Black 13" brings into prominence Detective Hayes and a gang of criminals known as "The Black 13." Hayes takes up the case— forged notes in circulation. The ringleaders, "Dr. Preston," "John Verden" and "Slim Jack"—the Blue lantern Hayes discovered—"Slim Jack" captured and proved to be Miss Dennison of the same boarding house where Detective Hayes lived. She begs Hayes to rescue her from "The Black 13," which he does, and disguises her as "Bob," the servant boy. "Dr. Preston" at the Central Railway Station—Detective Hayes off to 'the station—Miss Dennison, now "Bob," double crosses Hayes and makes her escape. "Dr. Preston" off on the fast express. Hayes, one minute late, but in a fast motor car, reaches the railway bridge before the fast express and in a daring leap lands on the roof of the passenger coach in which Preston is riding. Preston discovers Hayes and leaps from the train into the river. "The Black 13" have a meeting. They plot to kill Hayes. The trunk. Verden captured, but "Bob," the girl, gets away. The lonely mill. Hayes gains admission by hanging on to one of the paddles as the great, wheel revolves. Hayes locates Miss Dennison within, but is captured himself. The slow fuse in a can of powder. Hayes rescued by mistake. A terrific explosion. The lonely mill blown to atoms. Preston killed. The girl appears in the rums Pursued by cowboys, Miss Dennison forces her horse to jump from tne bridge, but is captured.
Following is a synopsis of the great race picture, "Kissing Cup," which comes on Thursday:
Mr. Heatherington, the country squire, and daughter, Chrissie, are interested in horse racing. On her 21st birthday her father presents her with a noted race horse called "Kissing Cup." Three years later Heatherington is in bankruptcy. A mortgage is given to Richard Cardew, a millionaire, also interested in horse racing. Cardew proves to be a wolf in sheep's clothing. Chrissie refuses Cardew's attentions. Jack Heatherington, a brother of Chrissie, thrashes Cardew over a remark made to Daisy Ingram, the daughter of the trainer of Cardew's horses. Ingram, Cardew's trainer, quits him. "Kissing Cup," now a three-year-old, is placed in the hands of Ingram. Prior to the race, Cardew backs his horse freely and Heatherington backs "Kissing Cup" for every cent he can borrow. The purse climbs to $200,000. "Kissing Cup's" riderxsuddenly ill. Who will ride "Kissing Cup?" "I will," says Arthur Ingram, son ofjthe trainer. Cardew brings proceedings in court to close the mortgage against Heatherington. Cardew's henchmen kidnap Arthur the night before the race. Daisy Ingram, his sister, and Jack Heatherington to the rescue. The race between fagt motor cars. The little jockey in prison in an old building. Seen by a tramp. Arthur rescued and starts for the race course in Heatherington's machine. An accident and the machine is ditched. An aviator to the rescue. The race course reached by airship. The race. Won.
These two pictures are really wonderful pictures and should be witnessed by everyone attending the horse fair. An opportunity seldom comes where such a great entertainment can be had at such a trifling cost. Remember the day and dates. », .,~

FUST YOUNG Mi LEFT AUTO BEHIND
Jesse H., Owned B'y Jesse Anderson, Paced Mile in 2:18 and Automobile Took His Dust.
There is one instance of record where a horse and his driver did not have to take the dust from an automobile. This was at the fair ground track Tuesday, when William H. Pauley, who has been training Jesse H., Jesse Anderson's fast pacer, drove the horse a mile in 2:18, leaving an automobile in which Jake Loy and Mack Warrum were riding, three lengths behind. Jesse H. has been showing great speed, although be lias been tracked only sixty days, being a four-year-old staliion. His speed Tuesday was a surprise to everyone except his trainer, Mr. Pauley, who knew what the horse had in him and knows how to develop the speed. The horse may be entered for the state fairraces.
