Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that Is by constitutional remedies. Deafftess is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and When it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing wull be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo, O.

Progressive Party News. ** [Advertisment]

“I used to meet men who shrugged their shoulders and said: ‘What difference does it make how we vote, nothing ever results from our votes.’ I suppose you know the force that is behind the new party that has recently been formed, the so-called ‘Progressive Party.’ It is a force of discontent with the regular parties of the United States. It is the feeling that men have gone into blind alleys and come out often enough, and that they propose to find an open road for themselves. ’ —Woodrow Wilson’s speech at Sea Girt, August 17, 1912. With The People Behind Him. •-Vy own experience was that I could do nothing as President except when the people were heartily with me. The minute I ceased to have them with me, whether it was my fault or theirs, I ceased to have power. Under such conditions I would prefer to-leave the Presidency, unless in fair, open fighting on the stump I could bring the people round to my way of thinking; such a course I think would be to my advantage and to theirs.”—Colonel Roosewelt at Denver.

“A great many men and women of noble character, of most elevated purpose, have joined themselves to the new party because the platform adopted by the new party promised reforms that should have been carried out years ago. These highspirited men and women believed that the new party would eventually bring them out on a plane where they might eventually accomplish what they have long desired.” "I take off my hat to these people. I sympathize with their impulse. I have not a word of criticism for them for allying themselves with any honorable force which they think can accomplish the ends they desire.”— Woodrow W’ilson speech before the New York Press Club, bept. S, 1912. What We Pledge Ourselves To Start: 1— Destroy the invisible government and dissolve the unholy alliance between corrupt business and corrupt politics, 2 Effect legislation that will limit the hours of labor and fix the liability of the employer in cases of accident to the worker. 3 Establish a system of social insurance. 4 Reconstruct the anti-trust laws so that they will become effective in controlling illegitimate combinations in restraint of trade. 5 Revise the tariff and the method of tariff making. 6 Extend the commerce of the United States to the four corners of the world. 7 Remedy the high cost of living.

8— Give women the right to vote. 9 Establish a parcels post. 10— Utilize the Panama Canal for the extension of the American merchant marine. What We Pledge Ourselves to Stop: 1— Child labor and the abuses of our factory system. 2 Night work for women. 3 The unbridled flotation of wildcat securities and the abuse of State corporation laws. 4 The shameful waste of our natural resources and the transfer of these resources to private combinations without proper compensation for their owners, the people. 5 The misuse of money in elections. Isn’t It Funny To See The Tories of 1912 Pointing With Pride to the Insurgents of 1776 and 1860? It is diverting to see how the reactionaries of every age invite the world to contemplate as their patron saints the insurgents and reformers of past time. Nothing could more grossly misinterpret the truth of history and the spirit of human progress than to look upon the great pioneers in humanity’s onward march as discouragers of agitation and advocates of “let well enough alone.” “Every crooked machine politician in the country is strong for Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln and in- 1 vokes their names as the bulwarks of wrong things that are, 'in resistance to better things that ought to be. Yet each one of these great men in his tjme was looked upon by ■property and culture as a pestiferous agitator. Each one of them was denounced for trying to break up the established order and sow among the people the pernicous seeds of discontent. All the great revolutionary heroes were insurgents. ' The men that stirred up the American masses to revolt against a standpat King and Parliament were nothing more than a bunch of excited pamphleteers and boy orators. From Jefferson and

Sam Adams down to Thomas Paine and Patrick Henry they were continuously and uproariously hollering their heads off about the injustice and abuses of the time and spreading insurgency all over everywhere to the intense disgust and disapproval of polite society and Big Business.

There was a fine flock of insurgents fifty years later. Exceedingly rambunctious and annoying were John Brown, William Lloyd Garrison, John C. Fremont, Wendell Phillips, Charles Sumner, Harriet Beecher Stowe, John G. Whittier, Abraham Lincoln. These people were always throwing fits about the social and industrial injustice of the time, making noisy speeches, delivering hysterical Chautauqua lectures, writing insurgent books, poems and magazines, threatening to stir up all sorts of discontent, chasing over the country with their revolutionary propaganda, menacing the constitution and the Supreme Court and even getting dangerously near. the point of bringing on war itself. The‘machine politicians of today, bent on obstruction of every campaign for humanity and progress, try to make themselves believe that Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln were standpatters. It is a pitiful and a profitless mistake. The revolutionary leaders and the apostles of freedom today are Roosafvelt, Johnson, Beveridge, Jane Addams, Judge Lindsey, Oscar Straus, Gifford Pinchot William Allen White. The Tories of 1776 and the strict constructionists of 1860 are the'political ancestors of the of today.

OUR PLATFORM does not deal with the empty generalities with which the ordinary political platform is filled; it does not contain the sound and fury designed to conceal the lack of genuine purpose. We, in our platform," for the first time since the civil war .face the issues of the day feiarless'ly, resolute, determined to see that the cause of righteousness does not suffer in our hands.”

“The fundamental plank is the plank that pledges us to fight for sociail and industrial justice, the plank that pledges us to w r ork in a spirit of real brotherhood, scorning any hospitality of creed, standing together shoulder to shoulder, in no matter what fashion we may severally choose to worship our Maker; standing together to battle for the poor ;.nd oppressed, for the lowly and tne heavy-laden; standing together pledged to fight while our lives last for the great fight of righteousness in this country.”-—Theo-dore Roosevelt. A Test For Indiana. Whatever confusion this campaign may present elsewhere, in Indiana the issue is plain and clear. It is Beveridge against the bosses. No citizen anywhere in the Hoosier commonwealth, whether he performs his duty of going to the polls or not, can escape the responsibility of deciding whether to Itand by this faithful servant of popualr rights and social justice or to stand by those who would destroy him. There is no doubt or hesitation on the part of the two old party machines. They know who threatens their sway, they re united in their desperate-determin-ation to punish Beveride for daring to question their power nd to disobey their commands. The Rlalston crowd are friendly to Durbin, the Durbin crowd is friendly to Ralston. To destroy Beveridge is their mutual undertaking and their common aim, Ralston is a good mad, absolutely beneficiary and the agent of the Taggart machine. He was Taggart’s man in 1908, he is Taggart’s man now. There iS no way for the Anti-Taggart or independent Democrat to strike at the Taggart domination and his. brewery alliances but to vote for Beveridge. The cause which Beveridge advocates is the people’s cause. Durbin is nothing more or less than, the exponent of the Hemen-way-Watson machine. They forced the nomination upon him, they made him run as the most

respectable candidate they could get. His election has no significance except as the triumph of that old standpat machine which Indiana started in on in 1906 and routed dn 1908. They hate Beveridge because his election would mean the popular rule and the smashup of their machine. Every voter of Indiana has the privilege of helping to deliver the government of Indiana over to the Taggart machine. That is the w"hole aim of the bipartisan game the bosses on both sides are playing. But the voter must do this, if he does it, with his eyes open’ He must know perfectly well what he is doing, whether he votes for Ralston direct or indirectly for Durbin. The attitude of Indiana toward boss rule will be disclosed to the country by the election of Beveridge or by his defeat.
