CRUMPACKER DELIVERED THE "GOODS.”

Congressman Crumpacker not only voted but spoke in favor of the steel trust, when the steel tariff revision bill was up in congress last week. To the credit of Indiana let it be said that he was the only congressman from this state who betrayed his people and served the trusts. And it is not amiss to here remind the people of this district that in the campaign of two years ago the Democrat warned them that Crump, was being supported by the steel trust and that ■when the proper time arrived he would pay back their kindness withinterest. The Journal and Courier and all the loud mouthed gang gentry yelled ‘lie’ and said his opponent, Hon. John B. Peterson was the trust’s attorney, etc. They deceived some people into voting for Crump. s under these misrepresentations. But time tells the truth. The steel trust supported Crump. ; the votes showed it and Crump, in re urn voles for higher prices on all kinds of farm machinery; on all goods made of steel and thereby repays the trust. We’ll have Crump, as a candidate again this year; we’ll have the same old gang out lying for him; we’ll have the same Journal and Courier ready and. willing to deceive the people about his votes and his speeches in Congress and we are anxious to know, in the light of FACTS, whether the people will vote for themselves or for the trust server.—Tippecanoe County Democrat.

MANY DIE IN MINE FIRE

Between Twenty and Forty Thought to Have Perished. Smoke Prevents Rescue When Flames Break Out in Workings Near Lehigh, Oklahoma. Lfehigh, Okla., Feb. 23. Between twenty and'Forty miners employed in the .coal mine of the w ichita Coal and Mining company, one mile east of Lehigh, lost their lives when fire broke out in mine No. 5, entombing the men in the pits. , The filling of the shafts with smoke and the failure of the machinery to work prevented their rescue. At latest reports six dead bodies had been recovered from the mine and the work was still being pushed. The fire is still raging in the mine and it is not believed that any of the men within the shafts can be alive. The number of these is estimated variously by different officials of the company at fifteen to thirty-five. When the fire broke out the word was spread through i’_e mine of the disaster and more than TOO miners either walked out or were carried out by rescuers overcome- by smoke. A large number unconscious from suffocation were revived after reaching the fresh air. The work of rescue is being pushed by the rescue party of the United States government rescue station at McAlester.

Mexico City, Feb. 23.—Owing to the dangerous anti-foreign feeling pervading Mexico, United States Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson is preparing to send his family to the United States. They will probably leave next week. Washington, Feb. 23. —That a condfition of anarchy and general putlawry exists throughout Mexico, marked by depredations of a most serious character. Involving Americans, British and other foreigners, was made clear in dispatches from the American representatives in that country which have been received at the state department.. These dispatches, coming from more than a score of consuls in the various states, impressed the officials of the state department of the critical stage that has now been reached by the revolution against the Madero government. That women and children are not regarded as safe in Mexico is made plain by the fact that hundreds have been fleeing the country for the past week. At. least three special trains, have brought the refugees across the Rio Grande last three days. Because of this exodus, the indiscriminate pillaging of the insu-rrectos or bandits and many personal appeals for protection, the state department has become apprehensive and has issued a circular order to every consular officer in Mexico requiring at least semi-weekly reports as to the conditions in each district.

WHY GO TO CANADA

When You Can* Do As Well or Better Under the Stars and Stripes One hundred and ten thousand American fawners went to Canada during 1911. Every one of these could have been accommodated at borne with a forty-acre farm which, with proper care, will yield more net profit than a quarter section across the border. We can prove what we say. Michigan having harvested her lumber crop, has just woke up to her unlifnited possibilities. Western Michigan with its cheap

land, rich soil!, splendid climate and diversified crops offers the chance of a lifetime to the renter and the progiessive farmer, who wishes to expand and realize a competency quickly. Secretary John I. Gibson of the Western Michigan Development Bureau, Traverse City, Mich., will tell about Western Michigan and illustrate his remarks with over one hundred slides at the FREE lecture to be given at Ellas Opera House, Rensselaer, Friday evening, March 1, at 7:30 o’clock. Farmers are especiallly invited.
