Bro. Moorman, of the Starke County Republican, while a rampant republican of the stand-pat order and a calamity howler —for political effect —from away back, occasionally gets on the right side of a public question, and here is what he says of the canal tolls position taken by the President: "President Wilson is right in his contention that no special favors he shown any r • als at Panama. Why should turn country spend millions in digging the canal and then permit the free use of it by any merchant vessel, even an American vessel? Special favors in such Instances are not warranted. The Panama canal is a business proposition in the last analysis, and the rresident is right in so regarding it.”

Sam Wells, editor of the Scott Journal, was a candidate for secretary of state before the late democratic state convention. He went down to defeat. In a recent issue, of his paper Mr. Wells said: "We want it distinctly understood that we have no personal feeling, or animosity toward Hon. Thomas Taggart for the part he took against us for Homer L. Cook in the race for secretary of state. We are still friends and will remain so. He used the road roller with deliberate and well calculated and seeming brutality iu favor of Cook. But we know that there was nothing personal to us—that it was purely a matter o. politics. We can say and we want to say it in Mr. ‘ Taggart's behalf, that he never gave us the double cross.’ He frankly told us six months ago that he was i i..:-; -i'-en li's promise - ' !'ok- ''styis promise. On the day before the convention - : lankly and in the kindliest spirit said he intended to ■put Cook over.- So we have no harsh criticism, but on the contrary only the kindliest feeling for Tom Taggart. But the fact that Mr. Taggart is able to nominate a state ticket so far as he cared to has shown the absolute necessity of a state-wide primary.”

INDIANA CONGRESSMEN

All Voted Against Mileage Graft Except J. 11. Peterson. Washington, April 4. the exception of Representative Peterson, all the Indiana representatives present when the house voted, late yesterday, to retain the ‘‘mileage graft” of 20 cents a mile for congressmen, opposed the measure. Representative Lieb, Adair, Barnhart, Dixon and Moss were even in favor of striking out all mileage allowances, while the others urged a redueiton in the present rate. The absentees, were Korby, Cline, Culp and Gray. Members of the diouse today continued to enjoy free baths at the capitol without any fear, if they ever had any, that this privilege would be cut off. Any doubt that may have existed regarding the matter was removed by the action of the house yesterday in voting to retain the item in the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill providing for baths and bathing attendants for senators and representatives. During the debate on the question the house was aroused to laughter by Representative Bryan, of Washington, who demanded to know why it was that the house appropriated $2,200 for washing 433 representatives and $4,000 for bathing ninetysix senators. Chairman Johnson, in charge of the bill, quick to see the facetiousness of the remark, made no response to the question. For years there has been some opposition to the free bath privilege on the ground of economy.

t be the center of inter-communi-cation between the various churches and social and charitable agencies In the city; to foster harmonious co-operation between them, and to check the evils of overlapping relief, and for this purpose to establish a general registration bureau for the use of all such agencies., To Investigate the cases of all applicants for relief which are referred directly to the association and to send the person or societies having a legitimate interest in such cases ull reports of the investigation. To procure work for poor persons who are capable of being wholly or partially self supporting and in other ways help families to become independent of the need of material relief. To develop volunteer personal service to the dependent. To inform the public of the various plans for relief work. To promote'the general welfare of the city by social and sanitary reforms and by the establishment and maintenance of any activities to this end. The officers of the association are: I‘resident, Geo.

During the past year several children have been taken from destitute or improvident homes and placed in the Julia Work Home at Plymouth. Arrangements were made through a local physician with a specialist in Chicago for an optical operation for an afflicted little girl hut her health has been such since her attempted suicide that this has not yet been possible. Homes and clothing have been provided for some. Xttrses have been hired to attend those who were unable to have the necessary attention during severe illness. Fuel ana food have been provided for those who needed more than the apportionment allowed each family by the trustee. The needs of applicants have been as thoroughly investigated as possible and help obtained through the proper channels: or relatives at a distance,' lodges or other organizations. A room has been secured in the court house where clothing that is donated is kept and where the needy are supplied. Much good has been done with very small expenditure of money and much voluntary labor on the part of the members of the board. The hoard is grateful for the newspaper help in urging the public to send every applicant for help to the board and thus put an end to the giving to cases that have not been investigated and also of relieving the public of the annoyance of numerous solicitors. Give your money to those whose business it is to see that none of it goes' to imposters. During file last year no jiioney has been asked for by the board, as it has been able to meet the nebesvry expense- with the money .turned into the treasury by the various charitable agencies. No extended effort will be made to replenish the treasury, which is nearly empty, until next fall, when a Systematic canvass will be made, hut to meet the immediate needs of the board a benefit will be given at the Rex theater on the evening of Thursoay, April ] 6th, for which each member of the board will be expected to sell 20 tickets. To save them unnecessary labor and inconvenience please do your part by asking them for a ticket instead of waiting for them to ask you. which is an embarassing duty for some. The tickets, which are 25c each, can be obtained from any member of the board or at Warner’s hardware store. An effort will be made to have a special program in connection with the pictures. The money is needed to pay the expense of a nurse, etc., in a case of serious sickness in the family of a highly respected and most worthy citizen. SO please help us in a worthy work by buying a ticket. i ■ igned.) C hairman Publicity Committee.

h oung man, what are you going to do in the spring? Are you going to be content to make a slave of yourself on that old worn out farm? Are you going to wear out your machinery and horses this summer as you did last, and after giving a share of your crop, find yourself with no more of the comforts of life than when you began? I SAY NO! Not after you have learned of the opportunity I have to offer you Write to me and let me tell you about the great farm products and “COME FOR A HOME IN WISCONSIN.” Hare you will find a soil capable of producing anything that will grow. You will find on this soil a crop ready to harvest, for the land is covered with timber, and a ready market for all you can take to town. You will find a good climate, pure drinking water, sociable neighbors, and modern facilities, such as good schools, chqrches, rural routes, and telephone lines everywhere.

Here YOU CAN GET A HOME, if you have only three or four hundred dollars, because I am offering this land to you at sls and sl6 an acre on terms that will be convenient to you. You will not have to work one bit harder than you now do, and you will have the satisfaction of working for yourself and family on your own land. I have many opportunities in improved and unimproved stock farms. Now “THERE NEVER WAS BUT ONE CROP OF LAND, AND THAT ONE IS RAPIDLY BEING HARVESTED.” You cannot afford to waste more time in Idle contemDlation. Write me, this very day, and let me tell you all. I will be at Wanatah, ind., until the middle of May and can arrange to show you this land when convenient for you. aS LAWRENCE F. ASHLEY.
