The $10,000 court house roof is being put on rapidly. It is to be hoped that it will be better than the former roof which cost more than $10,000.
The evidence of the misadministration of the affairs of Indiana by the Democrats is becoming more apparent each day. Increased indebtedness and taxes is the record. But such is all that can be expected when controlled by the Democratic machine.
The Republicans are making gains in Indiana every day. Not only Progressives are returning, but many Democrats, disgusted with the Craw-ford-Fairbanks-Tom Taggart machine rule, are declaring their intention to vote the Republican ticket this year.
The Democrats at Washington have finally devised a scheme by which they hope to make places for hungry party place hunters in the postoffice department. They propose to abolish the position of deputy postmaster. By this means there will no doubt be thousands of positions which can be filled from the party ranks. It would have been better to have abolished the post-
master. The deputy is the man whodoes the work. He even possesses all the needed "[?] ability."
R. B. Binford.
The Man Who Has Learned The Value
Politics is business and business men like P. J. Lynch, the Republican candidate for congress, are needed in legislative bodies at this time.
It is too bad that the first election in which the Progressives of Indianapolis had offiicial representation, six of such election officers should be indicted. Such results are in keeping with ordinary political mortals. No one would have expected it of Christian soldiers in politics.
Congress is having a hard time to make a satisfactory schedule for war taxes in time of peace. Everybody kicks on conditions that make such taxation necessary. Better have a protective tariff which will produce sufficient revenue to run the government.
P. J. Lynch, of New Castle, candidate tor congress on the Republican ticket, is making the first part of his campaign in Hancock county this week. He is a pleasant and sociable gentleman as well as a good forcible speaker and makes a good impression on all whom he meets. He is a successful business man and his canvass is being made in a businesslike way, which appeals strongly to voters at this time.
Republican Smoker.
of putting money in the bank is the man who buys a home. We have the accounts of men and women who are paying for homes of their own and accumulating a little available cash besides.
It is the accounts of the people who want to "get ahead" in which we take particular interest.

Many Republicans attended the smoker at the party headquarters Wednesday night. After a social time, smoking and eating apples for an hour, the meeting was called to order by county chairman, William F. Thomas, and a Hugh T. Miller campaign club organized. The meeting was then merged into a kind of old-fashioned party love feast and talks were made by former mayor, Ora Myers, Dr. L. B. Griffin, W. R. McKown, John Rosser, J. N. Bridges, William C. White, of Charlottesville, former township trustee Frank McCray, of Brown township, Chauncey W. Duncan and others. Republicans from several outside townships were present.
Jackson Township Institute. The Jackson township teachers' institute met in regular session on Saturday, October 3rd, at Charlottesville. Responses to roll call were on "Why We Should Celebrate Our State's Centennial in 1916," called forth some good reasons as given by the teachers. Miss Mary Payne, one of the teachers, was absent on account of sickness.
N. C. Binford.
Some of the patrons attended the institute and two of them furnished some most excellent thought by the active discussion of special subjects assigned to them.
Mr. Hittle discussed the subject, "What Place Does Local and Contemporaneous History Have in Our Public Schools?" Mr. Hittle's talk was extemporaneous and inspired thoughts as to what may be taught through evidences about us, to utilize those evidences into worthy local history. He carried the teachers back to days of plank roads, andirons and taverns, called attention to the valuable historical features of our state.
Mrs. Wilbur Wright, a patron, read a most delightful paper on "What Relation Has the Geography of Indiana to the History of the State?"
The afternoon program was given over to hearing Miss Adelaide Steele Baylor, assistant state superintendent of public instruction. Miss Baylor's talk was practical and applied both to teachers and patrons.
Public Speaking at Westland. P. J. Lynch, candidate" for congress on Republican ticket, and Hon. Anderson Percifield will speak at Westland, Friday night. Cordial invitation to everybody.
