Jasper County Democrat, Volume 17, Number 42, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 29 August 1914 — But Their “Paper” Seems to Be Honored at the Banks. [ARTICLE]

But Their “Paper” Seems to Be Honored at the Banks.

“Still Building the Road on Paper,” sluringly remarks the Rensselaer Republican in a heading to an article relating to the proposed Lafayette & Northwestern Ry. Well, so far the banka are honoring the paper of the promotors of this road and none of it hhs come back endorsed “no funds” to haunt the holders. Neither have we heard of any of the parties connected therewith jumping their hotel or auto bills, nor are there any warrants out for the arrest of any of the parties, so far as The Democrat has learned. What a record the Republican has for backing enterprises! Just look back over the list for the past dozen years or more and see if you can recall a single instance in which it was on the right side of anything.
