Mrs. Eliza C. Hendricks, widow of former vice-president Thomas A. Hendricks, died at her home in Indianapolis laßt Tuesday, of paralysis. In a big class tight at Wabash College last Friday night, heads were smashed, eyes blackened, limbs broken and ribs caved in. This is higher education. White County Democrat: And now comes the Red Men, and in their annual meeting of their grand lodge in Indianapolis last week they passed a resolution against the order standing sponsor for street carnivals. If street carnivals are such a good thing as some contend, why do the Elks, the Knights of Pythias apd the Red Men repudiate them?.

The Fowler Leader says in commenting on Tax Ferret Workman’s investigation in Benton county: “A person owing back taxes on account of his failure to give in all his property should pay them. There is no greater crime than shrinking out of one’s plain duty and placing the burdens upon them who are so unable to carry them, The employment of tax ferrits is another proposition. The ferrits in this county are to get thirty-five cents, the county assessor also gets his per cent and so does the treasurer. As a result there is not very much left. There are officials elected to look after this very matter. The employment of additional help is of doubtful legality.” The election Tuesday was very gratifying to democrats, especially in New York and Maryland, where President Roosevelt had thrown the administration’s power and weight for the republican candidates. Greater New York, which gave Low a plurality of about 32,000 two years ago, turned around and gave Geo. B! McClellan, democrat* and son of Gen. Geo. B. McClellan of civil war fame, a plurality of 02,000. Maryland also went Democratic, and will elect a democratic senator to succeed McGomar, republican. Kentucky rolled up a democratic plurality of 25,000, while Rhode Island also re-elects a democratic governor and the republican pluralities in lowa and Massachusetts are greatly reduced. The result in Greater New York and Maryland is a direct slap at President Roosevelt and limits his chances of the presidential nomination next year. The republicans made gains in Ohio only, and there a split in the ranks of the democratic party and the stay-at-home democrats made this possible However, many republicans take this as an endorsement of Mark Hanna, and his presidential boom Las taken renewed life.

Indianapolis Sentinel: The discredit the republican spoilsmen of Indiana have brought upon the fair name of this great state is bringing forth not only the criticisms of democrats and honorable men of all parties, but denunciation on the part of men and newspapers which have long claimed to be repnblican in affiliation. Newspapers not hidebound and chained to the administration chariot are hastening to clear their skirts of the political corruption which has envoived office-holding under tbe arrogance of a party drunk with the swill of power at the national capital. The following is from the Terre Haute Tribune the organ of State Senator James S. Barcus, who claims to be a robust party man. The Tribune in its editorial columns says: There is something grimly humorous in the telegraphic announcement from Washington to the effect that the Indiana club has ceased to exist. This organization was composed almost exclusively of federal office-holders and it seems that those who were left in tbe city after the recent house-cleaning in the postal department either feared that by remaining in the club they would come under suspicion or else were ashamed to be known as hailing

JUST A TWIG FROM THE CHRISTMAS TREE OF WISDOM Every week thousands of families look for The Democrat. If your advertisement forms a portion of its contents of news you derive the benefit of the application of mind which the most widely read paper receives, and your goods are called for, because, being announced in The Democrat, their desirability is established. The steady, exJery bveeß. advertiser knows how true this is from experience.

from a state that had provided the federal service with so distinfuished a line of greedy grafters, t will be a good many years before the country again gazes with confidence and complacency on a federal office-holder from Hoosierdom, and only by being superbly good can the Indiana bunch at the national trough become passably reputable. A decision was handed down Wednesday upholding the constitutionality of the law made by the state legislature of 1901, in which town and city clerks were given powers of justices of peace. It was a case of Henry H. Peele against the State, and was appealed from the Starke circuit court. Three prominent attorneys of Brazil, Ind., went hunting last week, with a view of testing the interpretation of State Fish and Game Commissioner Sweeney of the law requiring both a permit and license to hunt. These attorneys insist that Commissioner Sweeney has given a wrong interpretation to the law, asserting that after they have secured the permission of a property owner to bunt on the land, a license is not necessary. The laundry is here to stay. Why? Because I have the business experience and money to back me. I owe no man a dollar. O. H. McKay.

FOOTBALL.

The Democrat would call the attention of its readers, especially the fathers and mothers, to the column of football news on the first page of this paper. These items were clipped daring the past week from two daily papers that reach this office. No special effort was made to search for items of this character, and when we consider that hundreds of similar items appeared in other daily papers and the hundreds of accidents which never get into public print, one must realize that football is more dangerons to life and limb, considering the number of men engaged in each game, than going to war. As an illustration of the character of a football game we dip from an Indianapolis paper an extract from a report of the operations performed on the wounded football players injured in the Pnrdne special wreck last Saturday: “Say, doc, that was a great game, and we won it, yon bet. They put me out of business.” This was one of the many similar remarks made to Superintendent Jobes or the internes at the City Hospital when the suffering football players were being taken from under the influence of anesthetics following tbe operations in the surgery. Here were players who, on first regaining consciousness on the operating table, imagined that the terrible wreck in which sixteen were killed and scores more'injured was simply a red-hot football game. Could anything be made more convincing of the deadly nature of the game? Prize fighting and bull fighting are prohibited in practically every state in the Union, but football is upheld by most of our colleges and the professors of our high schools. Our colleges are known today, not by the educational advantages or the class of graduates they turn out, but by their proficiency at football. Football is not encouraged because the game has any merit or is necessary for the pupil’s well being, but for the

same reason that the sporty citizen likes to own a bull pup that can whip the socks off any other pup in the neighborhood, and, if the pup kills a few other bull pups in the process, the more proud he is of his pups achievement. The football craze in our schools and colleges—encouraged by the professors who do not enter the game themselves —is growing up a generation of sports whose principles of justice, law and order are based on bull-dozing and bull strength, and not on those of the Golden Rule. That it must necessarilly interfere with the student’s studies cannot be denied. No student can have his head full of football and do justice to his studies. As for the deadly and brutal side of the game we need not go far from home to satisfy the most ignorant. Games have been played right here in Rensselaer where many players have received severe injuries, and if we mistake not it was in a game with Rensselaer a few years ago that a Delphi player received injuries from which he later died.

Speed the day when the fathers and mothers will rise np in righteous anger and bar this deadly game from our public schools and will refuse to send their sons to a college whose principal reputation has been built up on football. Read The Democrat for n ews.

Pain From Inflammatory Rheumatism Would Have Killed Our Son. Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pllfa Saved Him. •Wt began to tue Dr. Miles’ Nerve and Liver Pills six years ago. My wife had liver trouble and a neighbor gave her some of your liver pills to try, after which we bought a bottle of them and mr wife used them until cured. Since then I have used them and I mrfst say that I have never used any pills that gave me the satisfaction these nave. We also use Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills with greatest satisfaction. Three year* ago our son Harry had inflammatory rheumatism. He had suffered so much that I believe If we had not given him Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Fills which relieved him almost instantly ha would have died. lam always glad of the opportunity for praising Dr. Miles’ Remedies."— James Evertt, Alton, Ills. "I was afflicted with neuralgia lor years and never found any permanent relief till I began using Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills. They are a sure cure for headache and neuralgic pains. Only this morning I recommended them to a triend with a severe headache and in a half hour he came into the store smiling. The headache was gone. We use them in the family and find them excellent for the women folks. This high altitude nukes then! very nervous. Grandma says I should tell Dr. Miles she could not live here were it not for the Anti-Pain Pills that she taka occasionally."—L. B. Morris, Helena, Montana.

Long Attention Farmers Why remain in the North and stay in doors six months in the year consuming what you raise during the next six months. Go South where you ean work out doors every month in the year, and where you are ■A producing something the year round, If you are a stock raiser you know your stock are now “eating their heat's off’’ and, besides, have to be protected from the rigors of winter by expensive shelter. Economical stock feeding requires the combination of both flesh-forming and fat-forming foods iD certain proportions. Alabama and Florida produce in abundance the velvet bean and cassava, the first a flesh producer and the latter a tat producer, and they are the cheapest and best fattening . materials known to tbe world.
