Inconsistency and Misrepresentation Their Chief Stock in Trade.

The consistency (?) and misrepresentation of our republican friends is only equalled by their nerve in expecting the bull moosers to come back to the republican fold, when the latter are not only the stronger party of the two in Indiana, but in the entire country as well, as evidenced by the last general election. In the resolutions adopted at their district convention here Tuesday, among the various “whereases,’’ they said: Whereas, it was promised during the last presidential campaign that in the event of democratic success the high cost of Hying would be reduced, and Whereas, instead of the cost, or living being reduced, it has materially increased, and * * * Whereas, the ports of our country have been opened to the free grain and meats of the South American republics, and the gates of Canada likewise have opened ot the free importations of all kinds of animals, produce and products of the soil, and * * * Now, according to the above paragraphs the cost of living has been materially increased although thie markets of the world have been opened to importations of foods and meats, and the American producers’ products ’have decreased in price. Very consistent, isn’t it? Then they go on to say: Whereas, the importations of foreign manufactured articles have constantly increased and the exportation of American manutac-

burned articles' constantly decreased; so that in the month of December alone there was imported into this county twenty-four million dollars’ worth of manufactured articles more than was imported during the pi oceeding December, and there was exported from this country during the Same month sixteen million dollars’ worth of manufactured articles less than in the same month of thia proceeding year, and * * *

Now listen to this official report of . the secretary of the department of commerce, just out, which says: Washington, February 11.—Merchandising transactions between the United States and foreign counties, as reported by Secretary Redfield, of the department of commerce, for the "six months ending December, 1913, show an increase in the balance of trade in favor of the United States of $38,401 934 over the same period of 1912. Secretary Redfield announced that if a similar increase is continued during the rest of the fiscal year, the balance in favor of America would far exceed anything hitherto known. It was set forth in the report that the new tariff “has not thus far resulted in any material increase of importations of manufactured articles to compete with the products of our own factories, but rather that its important effect has been to add to our food supply in such a way as either to prevent additions to prices already high or else reduce them.” According to the report, the total values of imports and exports of the United States for the six months from July to December, 1913, inclusive, were imports, $913,457,773, and exports, $1,318,040,167. The total value for the same six months of 1912 were: Imports $933,421,329, and exports, $1 299 - 601,790. ’ Tables were cited to show that the principal increases in imports were of foodstuffs. Our republican friends are indeed hard up for campaign thunder, and except for their unlimited gall in still claiming to be the only real dyed-in-the-wool savior of the country, but little remains of the party of Lincoln, Mark Hanna and Joe Cannon.

William B. Gray of Opvington, candidate for the democratic nomination for auditor of state, was in Rensselaer Tuesday afternoon. Mr. Gray, as we understand, is not what one would call a “machine man.” His two opponents for the nomination are Myron D. King, now a deputy in the state auditor’s office, and Dale Crittenberger of Anderson, whose son is also a deputy in the same office. If political office is a good thing, why not pass it around instead of keeping one little coterie of machine politicians in office all the time? The Democrat does not believe that the. candidates backed by the Taggart-Fairbanks-Mur-pliy machine are going to receive any where’s near the full strength of their panty Vote next fall, and it seems to us that effort should be made to nominate men. for office who' are not identified with this machine. Machine politicians can pack conventions and nominate candidates, but they cast only a small per Cent of the democratic vote in Indiana, and this fact should be taken mto consideration when nominating a ticket.

That is because Foley Kidney Pills are a true medicine and quickly effective in all diseases that result from weak inactive kidneys and uninary irregularities.-—A. F. LONG.

State of Indiana

STATE BOARD OF HEALTH Indianapolis, Feb. 9, 1914. I Editor Democrat, Renssealer, Indiana. Dear Sir:—Please permit the State Board of Healtlh to address your readers in regard to a matter which is of the utmost importance to all citizens and to the state. We refer to the importance of vital statistics which have been called the bookkeeping o-f huunlanity. It is indeed important to the state and to the family that an accurate record be kept of all births, deaths and con* tagipus diseases. Every day applications are made at this office for transcripts of these records to be used in the courts to settle rights to inheritance, pensions, and insurance. In some instances, reports of births are necessary to establish legitimacy and other facts. Those who ask for tfhcse transcripts invariably say—“l never deramed I would need suoh records.” Tn one instance, a little girl lost a legacy of $12,000 simply because the pfcysiciian. who attended jwhen she was born, did not make out a birf'h certificaite so that the same might be legally recorded. This was a terrible blow for a physician to strike at a little child. Had the physician taken three minutes to make out the certificate of birth and filed it as the law commands, the child would have received the inheritance left by an uncle in Switzerland.. In another instance, a young woman was kept out of the use of her property for 16 months because she could not prove the date of her birth. There are numerous instances of this character, and no one knows when he will have a like experience. ' ■ The law requires physicians and midwives to report all births within thirty-six hours after attendance or be subject to a fine and in addition their bill for services is made illegal and invalid. Failure op the part of physicians to report deaths they attend is punishable by a fine, and in addition the body cannot be buried until said report is made. If the body is buried without a certificate of death being made out by the attending physician and without a nermit for buiral being issued, it is •he duly of the coroner to disinter ite body, hold an inquest, and determine the afets required at law. You. will say these penalties are ■overe. and they are. These laws w re written by lawyers and judges who had had experience in the ■<ii’!t, and knew how important it is that these records be made. In conclusion we will say that the doctor who neglects or refuses io promptly report. the births, deaths and contagious diseases he is an enemy to the community ip -which lie lives. He ■ - a violator of the law. He ails in his duties to his patrons, and he faibs in his duties to the '-science of medicine which he practices. Every mother should see to it that her physician makes out a certificate of the birth of her children within thirty-six hours as the law commands. The mother is deeply interested and does not know when she will need the record. Very truly yours,

J. N. HURTY,

Secretary.
