INDIANAPOLIS NEWS LETTER.

By Willis S. Thompson.

Indianapolis, March 23.—-Congress-man John A. AL -Adair, Democratic candidate for governor of Indiana, expects soon to be on the ground and starting his part of w hat promises to be one of the most vigorous campaigns ever waged in the state. He will visit every spot in Indiana where he can be assured a large or small audience or where a few people want to discuss with hint the issues of the campaign. Me is a great believer in the wisdom of meeting the people when your cause is right, lu th:s instance the Democratic party has nothing for which to offer apology. The party has a record of which to boast and one which the opposition dares not attack. Woodrow Wilson grows more popular every day. His policies all bear the test. The great reforms he lias instituted even his strongest political opponents must admit are greater than all ,tbe grand old Republican party in all the years it was in power ever did for the people. With the advent of the Wilson administration the era of class legislation passed out of existence, Labor, capital, big business, little business and all others are protected and regulated in a sane manner and honestly encouraged and enforced. The greatest asset the* Indiana Democracy carries into the campaign is the record of the few years in the party has held- all the state offices and has held a majority in both branches of the' general assembly. The state in these Democratic c ears has had more progressive legislation than in any thirty or forty other years combined since Indiana became a state. These laws have every one of them demonstrated the wisdom of the legislatures in their enactment. In operation all these laws have proved of great value to the people. And the debt of over two millions of dollars which the Republican state administration accumulated and left behind, and which the Democrats have entirely wiped out is a thing which no Republican candidate, orator, editor or literary bureau can answer. No Re-

publican can advocate the repeal of anything the Democrats have established and get the people to believe them sincere. —o—o — The state department of public istruction has just issued a very interesting pamphlet, attractively illustrated, telling of the actual works being done under the vocational division, described especially as ‘ home project works.” It treats of agricultural and domestic science instruction, both in the cities and on l the farms.' It is largely devoted to what is accomplished during the months of ‘‘summer vacation.” For instance, there are “boys who j did not attend school because they j had lost interest.” In a few weeks, ■ finding they might learn a trade in 'addition to their regular studies, they returned. In one locality, when tomatoes were selling in Indianapolis at 20 j cents a bushel and were being given away at the farms, a family or boys ! got some cans and “put-up” the fruit from a small patch, realizing net about SIOO. | Other boys who "never did any.t! ing but loaf all summer'' were I u.sy raising hogs or growing 'small truck on patches in front and back yards. Girls were taught to make bread and sew and -“do other things of practical value about the home. Tim report of seven vocational agricultural teachers who ‘‘worked during vacation" show that the young--*ters who were ‘ taught at home” lad a “labor and products income” from their employment while studying amounting to $12,001.12.

o—o —- | Philip. Zoercher, reporter for the supreme and appellate courts of In- , cian:>. is reading proofs on tike 39th appellate and the 183 d supreme court reports. These complete the record of the two courts to November 13. 1913. and this is as close as ’’ * s possible lo bring these reports to date. When Philip Zoercher was a candidate for reporter of the upper courts in 1911 he called the attention of voters to the fact that the printed records of both these courts were fully two years behind the records and if the thing continji ed at the same rate another two 1 years they would be behind’ at least three full years. He promised if he was elected that he would bring both courts down to date before the end .of two years. He has kept his promise as has every Democratic official ;in the state house. He has more , than kept his promise. He has caught up within a year and his reports are the most complete that appear .in the supreme or appellate court library. These reports are most important in helping the practice in all courts of the state. This is why all the lawyers and judges in Indiana would advocate keeping Philip cher forever in the position of supreme and appellate court reporter.

Frank Hitchcock is working the same old lines that he used to travel In political manipulations. He is lining up the state delegations to the national Republican convention .for Theodore Roosevelt. In Indiana and Kentucky he lets them handle themselves and stick to Fairbanks, knowing the buttermilk boy will not

get dangerously rar in the race, Where no favorite sons exist he lines them for Hughes, because “Hughes can get the German vote.” Hughes will not accept and if anything were needed more than the statement already made by the supreme court justice, this very sort of campaign would make him impossible. So when the time comes Hitchcock will be there with the Roosevelt boom. Of course men like Fairbanks and Healing, and Watson and New and Goodrich and Hays and the rest of the Indiana standpatters say no in a loud tone of voice. But this is not June and .the Roosevelt roller is not yet in thorough operation. Watch them carefully and see them name the Oyster Bay Colonel.

FIGHTING AND FARNING.

By Walt Mason.

Since winter on its way is faring, and spring is in again, old Europe’s hosts are now preparing to slay about a million men. Great husky youths who should be seeding the fertile fields to wheat and oats, will spend the spring-time scrapping, bleeding, intent on cutting strangers’ throats. The bills of France shall see no tiller, the vales in vain expect the plow, and Death, the dour and dusty miller, is doing all the grist-work now. And Death is measuring the acres where once the shepherds used to bask, to see that kings and kindred fakers have room to do their butcher’s task. And Death demands the ox and charger, which used to draw the loaded wain, and everything that will make larger his crimson tally of the slain. Where once the milkmaid drove the heifer, where once the vintner pressed the grape, Death’s bloody odor taints the zephyr. Death flaunts his rusty rags of crape. When to your divers gods you’re praying, pray not that either side may win, but for an end to crazy slaving, an end to murder’s smoke and din.

“The Birth of the State" in Filin.

After months of planning and negotiation, the Indiana Historical commission is pleased to announce that the George Ade idea of the moving picture presentation of the history of Indiana, featured as “The Birth of the State,” is rapidly approaching realization. The enterprise has been assumed by responsible citizens of Indiana, prominent among them Robert Lieber of Indianapolis, who are working in close co-operation with the commission. They have Incorporated under the name of the “Interstate Historical Bir:ture«Gorporation.” The contract for the arranging of the scenario and its incorporation in film has been let to the Selig Polyscope company of Chicago, one of the three or four really great producing companies. Considering the fact that Indiana is the first state in the Union thus to feature its ceptennial year, the Selig people will' lay themselves out” to get the best moving picture possible. With four or five states following In liana in rapid succession with centennial anniversaries, it is up to the Seligs to set a new mark in the Indiana film.

The Chicago manager, H. C. Hoegland, has been in consultation with the commission relative to the scenario. and word has been received from him that it is practically complete. The proposed film production of the stoiV of Indiana, if advance information proves accurate, will follow closely in the wake of history where it touches facts, but it will also weave into the story many beautiful legends in which the history of Indiana is so rich. The pictures will I t taken “on the spot" and Indiana's historic places will be faithfully reproduced, according to the plans of the men who are producing the picture.

The scenario will be sumbitted to the Indiana Historical commission for approval within a very few' days and it favorable action is taken by it. the camera men, the movie actors and actresses and all their paraphernalia will soon be “on the ground” taking pictures. It is expected that the Indiana film will be ready for presentation by the time of the beginning of the county celebrations, the first of which occur in May.

SHOULD TEST SEED CORN Assistant Secretary Yrooman Declares This to Be Necessary Pecaution This Year. Washington, D. C., March 23. — Farmers who take the advice of Carl \ roonian, the assistant secretary of the United States department of agriculture, will test every ear of corn this year before they plant it. The seed corn situation, Mr. Vrooman says, is probably more serious now than it has been for years. On account of the late, cold Season and the heavy frosts in the early part of last October, very little corn, especially in the. northern half of the corn belt, ripened naturally and at the time of the first hard frosts much of it still contained a large amount of moisture. “Testing seed corn is always a wise precaution,” said Mr. Yrooman, “but this year il_js a necessary one. Every Jarmer should test his seed this spring by the individual ear test. No matter how much confidence you have in the man you buy seed from, make a test and know for yourself that the seed is good. If the seed is not good, you can get 1 * some other that is. “A number of seed men who have well constructed seed houses report that they find the early picked seed tests very satisfactorily, but the seed picked later, even if properly dried, is very unsatisfactory. One test in Northeastern Nebraska showed 90 per cent of the early field-picked seed to be good while only 68 per cent of the crib-selected seed germinated. In many sections of Northern lowa and Illinois the percentage of good seed is much lower, even when the seed was picked before frost and properly dried, while seed picked from the wagon at husking time, or from the crib is practically worthless as seed. One reason for this is that many farmers in this section are raising corn of a very large variety which requires a full growing season, and this- corn did not ripen before the early frosts.

“Under these circumstances, testing each ear is simply good insurance. One ear of corn will produce about five bushels—if all the grains grow. With corn at 60 cents a bushel, planting a dead ear or an ear that will produce only weak unproductive stalks, means a loss of $3. If you catch only one bad ear, your testing has paid you a good day’s w r ages. If you catch the average number, you’ve saved a week's pay in a winter afternoon.” POSTPONED PUBLIC SALE.
