GILLAM TP. CONVENTION.

The Democratic voters of Utllam Township, Jasper (’oumy, Indiana, are requested to meet at Center school house in said Township, on SATURDAY, OCT, 11, 1902, at 2 o'clock p, m., for the purpose of nominating a township ticket to he voted for at the November election.

The "conference” of President Roosevelt with the anthracite coal barons produced one good result at least. Tt opened the eyes of a great many people to the power and arrogance of the millionaire corporations of the country, which have been fostered and grown up on the “protection” milk of the republican party.

Amt the county funds safe in the hands of a man who gambles, a man who has always been a failuro at everything he has undertaken, and whose $16,000 worth of laud is to-day covered with $21,000 in mortgages, 813,000 of which is a second mortgage held by the McCoys, the people who brought him out for treasurer that they might get even V Do you want to take the chances of putting such a man in charge of the county funds?

Two of the republican candidates for office were seen in the rear of one of the saloons here during the recent K. of P. carnival, busily engaged in trying to break the chuck-a-luck bank. One of these gentlemen wants to go down to the legislature, where they enact laws against gambling, while the other wants to be treasurer of Jasper county. The latter is said to have lost quite a sum at one sitting. Are gamblers or those who indulge in gambling tit men to place in charge of the public funds of this county?

The Democrat presents a cartoon this week taken from the last week’s issue of the Newton County Enterprise, the republican organ of Newton county, bearing on the judicial situation. We might add that since this cartoon appeared in the Enterprise, the oarsmen, the county chairman, also of Rensselaer, has announced himself a candidate for clerk. The gentleman in the sailor suit and “binocular” is supposed to be John O’Connor of Kniman, who has been feasting his eyes on the splendors of an office in the Jasper county court house for some little time.

Cbm. •N

News comes of very strange rumors that are afloat in the neighborhood of Lochiel. Stories of a man with a tine woman for a wife, a good family, running after a lowdown thing with a brazen face and putrid character. How strange that men with good sense, men of honor in all their transactions with fellowmen, will tramp in the mud and sink in the mire of sensualism! Truly, this is a strange world. —Fowler Republican.

Strange things happen occassionally, Hooligan. But to tho above might be added tho whiskey besotted, tobacco slobering, twofaced assinine who will accept “rebates” and “ads” and stand around the nigh corner with a deputy prosecutor badge pinned to his coat tails while a bucket shop around the other corner is taking in suckers, (Now we will bet a herring that Barce gets mad and says that we meant him.) Brook Reporter.

The Fulton county tax levy, for county purposes, is the lowest of any in this part of Indiana. And it is made possible by the economy of democratic officers. Township levies are tixed by advisory boards and trustees, and may, in some instances, be high, but that is no fault of the county officers. It only costs tax-payers 2<>£ cents on the hundred dollars to pay county officers’ salaries, buy oounty supplies, build bridges, keep the poor, etc., etc. Under republican management these expenses required a lev y of 60| cents on the hundred, If taxpayers want a continuation of low county taxes they will vote the democratic

county ticket. Rochester Sentinel.

Th e spectacle of the President of a great republic being lectured to by a few pious, hyprocrital theives, upon business duties, and in his own house, is not one to instill confidence in the great common people that anything will be done to benefit them by this great pretender. If the president is in earnest in his fight against trusts, why don’t he make an example of these antheracite coal thieves, by instructing his attorney general to proceed against them criminally? A half dozen of them dressed in prison garb with ten years of hard labor ahead of them would solve the coal problem in a very few moments and for all time. \et these fellow’s whom he knows officially to be theives and robbers, (having been so informed by the inter-state commerce commission and the industral commission—both commissions having been created for no other purpose than to determine whether these corporations were doing lawful business) demanded that federal troops be sent into the coal regions of Pennsylvania to protect them and their stolen property? What can be expected from one who so arranged matters that Neely and Rath bone, who looted Cuba under American occupation, should go free - ? Who done everything in his power to create the conditions that produced the coal famine and the high prices of nearly all other tariff-protected articles for that matter. These fellows own Roosevelt body and baggage, and he dare not do anything that will injure them, however much he may sputter around.

IT’S THE PUBLIC’S BUSINESS.

An exchange makes the following pertinent remarks concerning the false sentiment that prevails to some extent that the personal character and habits of a candidate for public office should be exempt from discussion, consideration or criticism by political opponents, and asks why such an exemption is desired or necessary: “The candidate whose personal character and habits are clean has no object in preventing their consideration, certainly. Then we are up to the unavoidable conclusion that it is the man whose habits and character are such as to bring reproach upon himself and his party who is interested in perpetuating the old fallacy that a candidate’s personal character should not be taken into consideration in a campaign. No more harmful or demoralizing sentiment could prevail. The habits and character of the candidate, as a matter of fact, determine his fitness for the office he seeks, and the men whoso support he asks have a perfoct right to know all about him, If he is intemperate, a gambler, or dishonest in his private life it is certainly important that the voters should know it in order that they may prevent its being carried into their official affairs. No man has a right to ask for n position of trust whose character and habits will notstaud a most searching investigation, and no party should place such a man on its ticket. Tt it does it should not comylain if a truthful statement of the facts is made by an opponent. It is high time this false sentiment which shields a man from deserved conderunaion be relegated to oblivion,”

A GREAT INVENTION.

Walker Tp., Man Inventa a Novel Water Power-Wheel. Mr. A. G. Hendryx, a citizen of Walker tp., this county, has invented what he thinks promises to be one of the most important and useful inventions of modern times. Mr. Hendryx has been working and studying on the invention for the past five years and has finally succeeded in perfecting the machine, and through his attorney, George A. Williams, of Rensselaer, has made application for letters patent from the patent office; he has also taken preliminary steps to protect his rights iu foreign countries. The invention itself, like many important inventions, is very simple, making use of n principle of hydraulics that has been dormant ' for centuries. The machine consists of a waterwheel which supplies the water to run the wheel and nearest approaches practical perpetual motion of any thing ever invented. The machinery will be very valuable as the cheapest power available for railroad companies, irrigation companies, and in fact for pumping and supplying water any place under any circumstances; it may also be utilized as a power for running machinery. The chief features of the invention are the cheapness of construction, the fact that it costs absolutely nothing to operate the machine and th'- continuous and perpetual operation of the machine by its own power and energy. It may be seen at the home of the inventor, running continuously, supplying its own power and energy. The invention consists of a large wheel revolving on an axle. The outer rim of the wheel is supplied with buckets which are tilled with water from a pump 'operated by the wheel itself. The weight of the water as the wheel goes down furnishes the power, the buckets dumping at the bottom and going! up empty. The water is dumped into a tank from which it is pumped up to fill the buckets again and again, thus furnishing practically perpetual motion in the wheel. It is thought that the invention will be very valuable and make Mr. Hendryx a wealthy man, which lie well deserves after his long years of hard study and work.

Do Good -It Pays.

A Chicago man has observed that, “Good deeds are better than real estate deeds—some of the latter are worthless. Act kindly and gently, show sympathy and lend a helping hand. You cannot possibly lose by it." Most men appreciate a kind word and encouragement more than substantial help. There are persons in this community who might truthfully say: “My good friend, cheer up. A few doses of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy will rid you of your cold, and there is no danger whatever from pneumonia when you use that medicine. It always cures. I know it for it has helped me out many a time.” Sold by A, F. Long, druggist. Irwin <fc Irwin are making loans on farm or city property at a low rate of interest and commission and on more liberal terms than can be obtained elsewhere in Jasper County.
