INDIANA'S BEAUTIFUL ROADS.

IT you ride in an- auto across the state line into many parts of (Took and Will counties, puffed-up shires of the beautiful Sucker state you can readily imagine that you are somewhere between CzenstGchowo and Mallvowi schi m Poland in the ISth century. The’ roads jolt, the .very teeth out of you. They break your springs. After a few miles your machine rattles like a lot of holts in a tin paib Illinois road ; are

a disgrace to civilization. There are. 20,83 | miles of surr.ic-! i ed roads m Indiana, only 9,0 0 0 milch ! •in Illinois. Indiana •purities, townships and districts last ye.: r spent | $ 1 3,258*76 i, : : for road - work—the | largest local . expenditure, in t! e un- 1 ion—-whereas Illinois only spent $7,-! 1 02.977. Indiana’s 20,8.111 miles of surfaced roads, loom up 'afge when compared with Mb miles in Wyoming, 9,388 miles in California, 1,482 miles in the okl state of Virginia, and. 9,790 in the empire-sized com-

monwealth of Texas, r.ven Kansa,s with all her boasted can only show a surfaced milage of ! ,170. One would think that the great state of New York has more good roads than Indiana, but it hasn’t; and the Hoosier state has six times the surfaced mileage of its much older sister commonwealth, Pennsylvania. West Virginia with its 825 miles, North Dakota with 200 miles, and the ancient commonwealth of Maryland with 2,706 miles are dwarfs when compared with Indiana.

Though Ohio slightly leads Indiana numerically in road inileage Indiana outdistances all . it's sisters, Ohio included, in the percentage of surfaced highways. You who wish to appreciate the excellence of Indiana roads ride over ( into Illinois anywhere south of Chicago, and you will feel like sounding the timbrel and the hewgag that you live in good old Indiana until you meet the supercillious Chicago road-hog who thinks he owns the earth and the fullness thereof.— Lake County Times.

As each week passes, the remnant of the stand-pat Republican partj in Indiana is just a little worse off for some subject which it tries to dignify into an "issue. - , Their managers have been most completely pu s t out of the running by the showing of the Democratic administration in state affairs. As Auditor of State Dale J. Crittenberger puts it, 'Democrats speak by the books and these same books, all of them, are wide open to any of the Republicans who want to prove a single democratic claim untrue” These books prove that the Republican debt-mak-ers left over a million dollars of pastdue debts for the Democrats to pay. That in the last five years every penny of these debts has been paid by the Democratic debt-paying a A ministration there is not a penny of any sort of state debt or current bill due and unpaid. There 1 is not an unpaid bill on the desk of he state auditor or treasurer, and not a bill can be presented that is i not paid instantly. This is the first time since 1532 that the state has been able to make such a showing.

The cxporis in the expensively maintained Republican state head quarters have , been doing some .mighty; work -since .election day to bn d so me hope in the results in Ind inn a. And here is what ig said l, their oiticial : telement, hlished in the Republican newspapers. “After • uking an analysis ,ol the results of the elections held in towns throughout the state, the Republican state headquarter- has given out the following." That makes it official, and hero' is the one. specification from wbieli../ h%pm is proclaimed: “The lines were drawn'Tightly in many to wn-. .T •ke ( oiydoi:, the old state capital, ior ; nstanco. Then we are ■eld that Corydoii went Republican i • here are no further specifications |in file whole state, but my,, oh my, j how muon comfort they got, and there is nearly a column to tell how Corydon went Republican. Thereoxo, we arc to conclude, that in | 1 9 1 6-Fairbanks will he .elected presiI dent, ('.oodrich governor and dim W atson United States senator.

lh-re is what Congressman Adair asked the people of Jasonville the other day : “Do you want to turn your state government. back to the same set of Republicans who made more than a million dollars of debts which the Democrats have paid, or do you want to retain the men who have paid that debt? What man of judgment would return from these prosperous times, under the new Democratic banking laws that make panics impassible, and go back to the Republican times when the great banking interests of Wall street could declare a panic when they pleased, and make it. impossible for you in Jasonville to get your own money from your bank, because these same Vail street millionaires were using your money with which to gamble and add to their personal wealth?” Confronting the facts what will all the voters of Indiana say to the same questions?

Frank Gwin, of the New Albany Press, was a3ked by letter to state

w'hat were the business conditions in his community. In part he wrote this; "Business in general is at least fifty per cent better than two months ago and still improving. All manufactories running, some on double time, and prospects for Congruous prosperity were never brighter New orders are coming rapidly and genferal tone of business appears to be fetter than it has been since the' Republican panic of 1907. All of our people who are able to work and want to work are busy.’’ The same general tone runs through the reports of no less than fifty letters ’rom as many editors of Indiana newspapers. " Wilson and the fall dinner pai 1 was the sentiment at the Jasonville Democratic rally last week. It was a Clreen county rally and to accommodate the people so that all might hear the speakers they met aiternoon and night. ’—or the men there are -all employed. Those on early morning or night shifts heard Congressman John A. M. Adair and Auditor of State Dale J. Crittenberger in the afternoon, anl Senator Kern talked at night to those who were off duty. Congressman Cullop talked at both meetings.

INDIANAPOLIS NEWS LETTER.

[By Willis S. Thompson.]

Indianapolis, Nov. 10. —Senator John W. Kern spent some time in the Kentucky campaign last month and he has also studied with some care and comparison of results the vote in other states where governors were elected. These are his conclusions which he gave me today for the newspapers of the state. "There is nothing in the election returns calculated to discourage any Democrat who will take the trouble to compare the vote of this year in the several states with that of previous elections. “Massachusetts, for instance, 'has normally a tremendous Republican majority. It is a rock-ribbed Republican state. Because of Republican divisions and dissensions the Democrats had been able to elect a governor. . “This -year, with the most popular Republican in the state as its candidate, the Republican party was. able to elect the governor by a beggarly plurality of 6,000 votes. Mr. Walsh, he Democratic candidate received nearly 30,000 more votes than were cast for Woodrow Wilson in that state in 1012, or than had ever been received by any Democratic candidate for any office, which proves that nearly 30,000 Progressives have decided to cast their lot with the Democratic party. It also proves that Massachusetts is good fighting ground for the democracy next year.

“Oh the other hand Maryland is, •• * j and has been for many years a doubt- j ful state. In 1896, and 1900. it was j carried for the Republican national ticket. In 1908 its electoral vote v. ■ s divided. In 1911 tne Republicans elected the governor who is still in office. In the election this yJsar,. notwithstanding many local • dissensions, the Democrats elected ■ k governor and entire state ticket hy a substantial majority. There is r.o doubt but that Maryland’s ele< toral vote will be cast 'or Mr. Wilson next year. i w ; “In Kentucky there was a terrific j pre-convention fight in the Demo- | cratic ranks between the friends of prohibition and those of connty^oca l !, eptipn. the traces of which wrire visß i hie throughout the campaign. The ! Republicans made their chief fight on state issues, and the Democrati« campaigners spent- much time defending the state administration. ' There .. was practically no organir.a----j tion. An yet under these adverse | conditions the Democrats have' carried the state and elected a large majority of the legislature. 1 spent several days in the Kentucky campaign and have no ?ort of doubt that with the organization such as is maintained by hither party in Indiana Mr. Stanley’s majority would have reached 25,000. “Kentucky lias had three Republican, governors. within the past decade, and the Republicans there were cock-sure of victory this year, because of local conditions, but I do not believe there is an intelligent Republican in Kentucky who will not freely concede that that state is safe for Wilson in 1916. “These were the only states electing governors in, which there was any contest. We have more than hel,d our own and Democrats everywhere should be satisfied. RWhen the Republicans jollify over a 5,000 plurality in Messachusetts, with nothing else to their credit, they but emphasize the hopelessness of their cause. Buy envelopes at The Democrat office.

CHANGES IN STATE OFFICES.

Barney Vogel Sent to Auditor’s Force —Ligonier Man Takes His Place. Indianapolis, Nov. 12.—Dale J. CTittenberger, auditor of state, and George A. Bittler, state treasurer, have made changes in their office forces to fill a vacancy in Crittenberger’s office, owing to the illness of Captain George F, Miller, who served for years as settlement clerk in the auditor's office. Barney Vogel, of Monticello. who has been accountant in the treasurer’s office, becomes settlement clerk in the auditor's office. This office pays $2,200 a year. Joseph Kimmell, of Ligonier, a banker and former auditor of Noble county, was named to succeed Vogel in the -reasurer’s office, where the salary is $2,000 annually. Captain Miller, a confederate veteran. has been ill in Huntington, W. Va. John D. Williams, of the state board of accounts, has been assisting in the auditor’s main office.

Tribute To Richard M. Milburn.

In the life of Richard M. Milburn, attorney-general, there was a lesson of right living that should inspire young men seeking a public career. Some who preceeded Mr. Milburn as attorney-general may have been more brilliant but none had a finer conception of the real duties of a public servant. Mr. Milburn was a self-made man, fighting his way from boyhood in Dubois county to the high position occupied at his sudden death. As a student he was patient, thorough and untiring. He combined qualities and temperament that made success certain. His nomination as attorney-general showed clearly the metal of the man. Defeated twice in state convention and never the choice of the leaders of his party, Mr. Milburn started in to win-—and he did after a campaign unique for its scope and careful attention to detail. Probably the hard fight he made to be nominated broke bis health, for he \vent into office Under trying physical difficulties. Those who aspire to serve the state in high positions would do well to study closely the devotion of Mr. Milburn to the responsibilities and demands of his office. Always a hard worker and almost a slave to routine he never lost his enthusiasm in public affairs. His death is a distinct loss to his party and to the state,—lndianapolis Star.

185-Barrel Cistern Full of Good Cider.

Princeton, Ind., Xov. P. —Albert F. Dougan has a 185-barrel cistern brimming full of good apple cider on his farm four miles southwest oi Princeton. Handicapped by lack of barrels and the immensity of his apple crop, Mr. Dougan had a huge cistern constructed. It was well lined with concrete, and a heavy coating of parafin was placed over the concrete. . while a regular cistern pnmp, new and clean, fitted closely over the top. Then he started making cider with his big mill, a pipe carrying tlie cider from the press directly into tiie cistern, where the paraffin coating keeps the apple Juice fre.-h and sweet and prevents fermentation. The cistern, with its IS 5-parrel capacity, would not'hold all the cider, and Mr. Dougan bad to barrel considerable. He pumps the cider from the' cistern the same as water. Townspeople and farmers, from/miles go there to get cider and “see it pumped from the cistern.”

Progressives to Put Up Full Ticket.

State and Tenth district leaders of the Progressive party gathered in Hammond at the Mee hotel in a conference last Saturday afternoon to discuss the prospects and future of the party in the state. State Chairman Edwin Lee was among those two score of party men present. Xo formal talks were made, instead reports were given from the different, towns and cities represented. It was the concensus of opinion that the party shall again put a ticket in the field from top to bottom. Some districts in the state were reported to be thoroughly organized down to precincts. Chairman Lee stopped in Hammond on a tour over the state.. A meeting of the Lake county Progressive party leaders is to be held in the near future, but date and place are still to be announced.—Hammond Times, A Pine Whooping Cough Remedy. Mothers, Dr. Bell’s Pine-Tar-Hon-ey just the remedy for your children s cold ailments. The fact that pine is a quick enemy of cold conditions. Its qualities loosen the mucous in the throat, soothe the lungs and open up the air passages.
