Democrats can not make good on economy promises. They constantly condemn the extravagance of Republican administration, and when they get control they spend more money than Republicans.

The Repubican county ticket should commend itself to the voters of the county. Tt is made up of capable and honest men without any strings to them for favors in securing nominations.

P. J. Lynch, the Republican candidate for Congress against Finly Gray, is proving himself a live wire. His campaign is most energetic and positive. He is an earnest and impressive speaker, and his speeches are attracting favorable attention. Congressman Gray will find, if he

The issue this year in the national campaign is the questions of protection and economy. The expenses trf the government must be proeduced indirectly through revenues or directly by taxation. There is no getting around it. The government like any individual has to pay as it goes. If the money does not come one way it must come by another. That other is direct taxation. The Hepublic&n ^party raises money tjnnder a protective tariff sufficient

Indianapolis city government has borrowed $100,000 to replenish its depleted treasury. Mayor Bell is evidently not a success as a finan

The state of Indiana has been compelled to borrow $400,000. It is not only not paying its debts, but it is running behind. Who has to pay for such mismanagement? The taxpayers will fqot the bill. No wonder the rate of taxation has been increased.

The garage is the busiest place in the city and they are destined to continue so. The number of automobiles will steadily increase and as they do, the work of automobile repairing will multiply.

Most of the beneficience of government enjoyed by the people was wrung from tyranny at. the price of devastation and carnage. Terrible as the war now in progress in Europe is, let it be hoped that the peace which will follow will be founded on a higher basis than ever before, and possess a guarantee of permanency that will endure for all time. Let it be hoped that the present war will be the last among civilized nations.

INDIANA NOW OWNS FLAG

Tattered and Torn Emblem of 68th Regiment of Civil War.

A plan to present to the state of Indiana the battle flag of the Sixtyeighth Indiana regiment of the Civil war, which originated and was decided on at the meeting of the regiment here August nineteenth and twentieth, was consummated Thursday afternoon at the state house in Indianapolis, says the Rushville Daily Republican.

The plan was suggested by Mrs. E. H. M. Berry, of this city, who, it is considered, has a good claim on the flag because she and another woman of Greensburg, where she lived during the Civil war days, were largely responsible for the flag being purchased and sent to the regiment.

It was agreed at. the meeting here Wednesday night, August lOth, that the flag should be given to the state to preserve in the state house w~ith Other state relics and a committee was appointed to confer with Governor Ralston concerning the time for the formal presentation. September 17th was desired because it was the fifty-second anniversary of the battle of Munfordville, Ky., when the regiment was captured.

Ed G. Gant has moved into his new home on the Herr and Wright pike, northwest of this city. They have one of the finest country homes in this county. Mrs. Mellie Trees has rented their house op North State street.

The lecture and cake demonstration at the Gas office Friday was attended by scores of women. These lectures and demonstrations have proven to be very popular with Greenfield ladies.

CHAUNCEY W. DUNCAN, Secretary.

The problem for caring for the regimental flag has been one that has been an issue in the councils of the regiment for many years. Capt. J. H. MaUzy, of Denver, 'Colorado, formerly of this city, placed the flag in a vault here several years ago and it remained here until the last meeting of the regin^ent.

Lafayette Glascock, of Jackson township, in speaking of the Indiana state fair a few days ago, said a farmer could not spend a day or two each year more profitably than to attend the state fair. He said the opportunity offered there to see the improvements in machinery and stock were wonderful. He thinks, all, farmers should take advantage

CANDIDATE FOR SECRETARY OF. STATE

JUDGE ED JACKSON

While the public record of Homer L. Cook, Democratic candidate for Secretary of State by grace of the Fairbanks-Taggart political cabal, is under consideration it might be well to learn something of Judge Ed. Jackson, of Newcastle, the Republican nominee for this position. Cook was speaker of the last House of the Indiana General Assembly and during his incumbency of that office laws were written into the statute books of Indiana that were never passed by the Legislature. In addition, it has been discovered that the permanent record of the proceedings of the House which were compiled under Cook's supervision contain a number of "mistakes."

Judge Jackson is forty years of age was born in Howard county, near Kokomo, and has lived in several counties in eastern Indiana. His advantages and opportunities were very meager and he was able to go to school but a short time in his boyhood and was compelled to study hard and diligently at home in order to get an education to fit himself and equip himself for the study of law, which he did in the office of the late Judge Nash of Tipton. During the time he was studying law with Judge Nash he 3old papers on the streets of Tipton to nay his expenses in order that he night be able to take the time from lis" work in the factory to read law.

practice of the law, which he did by opening an office in the small town of Kennard, Henry county, and later removed to New Castle, his present home, where he has been engaged in the practice of the law since coming here.

After removing to New Castle he was nominated and elected for two terms as Prosecuting Attorney of Henry county, after which he was appointed by Governor Hanly to fill out the unexpired term of his predecessor as Judge of the Henry Circuit Court, who died while holding the office, and he was afterwards nominated and elected for a full term as Judge of the Henry Circuit Court and is now serving in that capacity. His term will expire November 17th of this year.

He has always endeavored to conduct himself in such a way that those associated with him and coming in contact with him would not regret any confidence they may have placed in hijp. He has endeavored to conduct himself in his official capacity in a way that would be a credit to himself and his constituency and has always been willing and glad to assume his full share of the responsibilities arising in the community in which he lived and using his talents and means to help those needing his help and using his money for charitable and benevolent purposes, having used a great deal of the money coming to him in that way.

Judge Jackson has long been prominent in the civic affairs of New Castle and Henry county. He is a past president of the Lincoln League of Indiana. He is a member of the Christian church.

BE A BLANK CARTRIDGE!

A WORD TO REPUBLICANS

If you are a Republican,

you

Se'j*

are anxious to bring about the rea-

terat'on of that party to power, not as a partisan, but as a patriot, concerned for your country's welfare, the prosperity of its people, the restoration of employment to the jobless, the setting in motion once more of wheels now idle. You want your country put back on the highway of progress and prosperity. You want your state redeemed from high taxes and a low standard of government.

POLITICAL WORK DOES NOT DO ITSELF. SOMEBODY MUST DO IT. IT'S AS MUCH YOUR JOB AS ANYBODY'S. If you believe that the retirement of the Democratic party from power in state and nation is essential to the welfare of the. people you are lacking in patriotism if you do not do. SOMETHING .to bring that re-

or writing in its behalf, perhaps you are doing your share. But if you are not, remember that those who are engaged in such work are making some sacrifice for the goo^d of the party and or the country, and deserve your SUPPORT. %i1

Two forces especially deserve your assistanace. One is the par^ ty organization, state and local. If other men are Willing to take upon themselves the hard job you escape in promoting the important, the essential work of party organization, the least you can do is to HELP PAY THE BILLS. The party organization ought not to have to beg for the money necessary to carry on the legitimate work of the party. There ought to be enough interested Republicans to provide the funds needed, ^nd that without appeal being made to them.

DON'T WAIT TO BE SEEN. Go to the chairman of your county Republican central committee and offer him your help, either in time, or money, or in both. IT'S A DEBT YOU OWE. Why should you sSt by idly while other men pull the country out of the slough of industrial despond? IT'S YOUR JOB, just as much as it is anybody's, and if everybody sat around with folded hands, the cloud of adversity that now envelops the industrial affairs of the nation would never be liftedi

Support your local Republican newspaper. It is the greatest Isingle force for Republicanism. It is talking politics the year round, and always to its own detriment financially, because it is more profitable to work both sides of the street than Just one side. Throw your patronage to your Republican local paper. Make the editor feel that hi* wor1' does not go unappreciated.

REMEMBER: It take* money to effect and carry en party organization. There is only one source from which the Republican party can or would derive campaign funds, and that la from the people It M«k« to wrve. ARE VOU DOING YOtIR SHARE? Or are you shirking your rtawntltjllity, expecting SOMEBODY ELSE ty cfcrry your

part of load? Ask yourself that DON'T BE A BLANK CAR
