AMONG OUR EXCHANGES.

Goodland Herald: George Davidson came over from his Jasper county farm the first of the week to visit friends and look after his property interests here. Corn shredders and automobiles are two of the cussedest machines ever mads. It’s queer the shredders are not used in war. They grab right and left, and nothing escapes after they hook onto it. —Lake County Star. Brook Reporter: Pueblo, Colorado, will have quite a colony of Brook people in a few weeks. Mr. and Mrs. George Dobbins and Mr. and Mrs. .lohn Pence are already there, and Mr. and Mrs. Quin Lyons and Mr. and Mrs. Ed Zook will start for that place in a few days. There is lots of talk about the tax ferret business being responsible for the loss of republican votes. The tax-payers would have been better satisfied and the county treasurery better off if Hampton, the county assessor,' had kicked the leaches out and did the work himself:—Otterbein Sun.

An exchange says that a merchant in a neighboring town states that his advertising last year cost him fifty-four cents for every SIOO worth of goods sold. He used a half page for his business announcement each week and says that as long as people read the newspapers he will advertise. There's a man possessed of a good head. Just as soon as merchants begin to look upon advertising as a branch of the busiuess which requires as much care as any part of it, then will advertising pay. Honesty, force, originality and persistency in advertising make it a paj ing investment. — Speaking of the thoughtless and lawless acts of some people whose counterpart are found in all communities, an exchange says: “Some party has been guilty of destroying public sale bills in the vicinity of this town and is liable to a fine. It is a-violation of law to tear down, or cover with other advertising matter, bills that are not dead. Frequently we notice one sale bill tacked over another before the one first posted is dead. This may be considered a shrewd act from a business standpoint but it is illegal and the guilty party is liable to a fine.” One of the lessons of election results in Indiaua is that honesty is the best policy in political management as well as in private life. The will of the Indiana Democracy was thwarted last spring by force and fraud. Parker caucuses, snap primaries and gag rule convention were the order of the day during the brief period of reorganizer domination. This was not Democracy, but the brutal sway of bossism. The people who were denied a voice in the affairs of their own party could not be prevented from casting a ballot that represented righteous protest against such procedure and the lead pencils of at least 30,000 honest Democrats wrote the doom for re-organization at the polls on Nov. B,—Ex.
