The Hughes press, agents, in giving out he messages received by the candi ! '< as he departed for his Western trip quotes one from “Albert J. Beveridge of Indiana.’’ And Albert Jeremiah must stand for his name being at least two-thirds forgotten by th? man with whom ho recently dined sumptuously. Funny how well the names of Joe Healing, J: - " Hemer ■uy and Tobe Hart are known to both C andidate Hughes and his press agency.

Mr. Hughes' courage iu declaring for equal suffrage compels admiration but his judgment hardly commends itself to the dispassionate observer. He may win the votes of a few small W estern states by his action. If. he losses New York, Ohio and Massachusetts the exchange will be far from profitable, and ft is to be considered that all'these states have voted against woman suffrage by large majorities.—Detroit FreeT less (stand at Republican).

If principles mean anything, if the Progressive party was anything more than an expression and vehicle of Mr. Roosevelt's political hatreds and a choir to hymn .his worship, the mass ojf Progressives who believed in 1912 that the Republican party was reactionary caunot now be heM'ed back into that party unchanged, unrepentant, bossed by the same old 1 osses, devoid of any Issue save the noble one of “beating Wilson’’ and getting the offices.— New York Times.

Candidate Hughes has had the itinerary of his swing ’round the circle timed to bring him into Kansas City for the national encampment of the grand army of the republic, near the end of the month. This doubtless is to give the republican nominee an opportunity to explain why his platform had no word for the veterans of the wars and why the Democratic pension legislation Is not what it ought to be—without

telling what he -would do if he were doing it. —Ft. Wayne JournalGazette.

Mr. Hughes, on his campaign for votes, is being greeted by good crowds, as is expected on an occasion when the Presidential candidate of a leading party shows himself to the public, but the welkin-ripping enthusiasm that had been predicted for him is absent. The country is too busy at its work taking down the best pay it has ever received to give much time to the calamitywailing of Mr. Hughes, who is up against a hard thing trying to convince the American laborer, who under Democratic times is getting $2 where he got but $1 under standpat conditions, that there is any reason for a change.—Ft. Wayno Journal Gazette.

Leave it to the press bureau of the Republican state central machine of Indiana to explain for Mr. Hughes. The candidate has been pressed pretty strongly to tell what he would have done or what he would do now if he were President, since he finds so much fault with what President Wilson has done. Why is an editorial paragraph, which has made its appearance in some of the Republican state press, evidently eminatir.g from this press bureau.

“What would Mr. Hughes have done had he been president? Tlx answer is plain. He would have marshaled all the resources of. this great nation immediately and ended once and for all in the very beginning these nefarious plots against our neutrality. That’s what he would have done, for has he not declared it again and again that he stands first and all the time for America? That is Mr. Hughes’ stand on the issue of Americanism.’’ Now will you be good.

The state board of tax commissioners has finished its work for 1916 and the figures of taxable valuations placed on all the corporations doing business in the 92 counties show a considerable increase. The total valuation of all corporate property appraised by the state board for purposes of taxation shows $277,496,051. In 1915 this total was $274,717,284, the increase in 1916 being $2,778,767. Steam railroads are valued at $213,539,431, against $212,121,242 in 1915. ’ Interurban roads at $26,341,701, against $26,965,732 in 1915. Telephone companies $18,235,218, against $17,109,153 in 1915. Express companies $1,204,841, against $ 1,002,480 in 1915. Telegraph companies $3,750,567, against $?.,- 495,568 in 1915. Sleeping car companies $1,396,882, against $1,390,920 in 1915.

Senator Thomas Taggart is making an earnest effort to secure one of the farm loan banks for Indianapolis. He has wired the real estate board of Indianapolis, which is taking a lead in the matter, stating that Secretary McAdoo and other members of the farm loan board will visit Indianapolis some time in September, and urging everybody at

this end of the line to get busy. Speaking editorially on this subject the Indianapolis News says: “Senator Taggart ought to be warmly and cordially supported in his efforts to get one of the if new land banks for Indianapolis. This city is admirably adapted so- the purpose. It is the center of a rich 'agricultural region, and only a few miles distant from the center of population, which, as every -.;u knows, is in the city of Bloomdig ton. Through its railroads and interurban lines Indianapolis Is in close communication-with all parts of the state, and also'with surrounding states. Indiana farmers, too, are progressive, fully alive to the possibilities of their business. Great advances have been made within lu last tea- years. Perhaps we are somewhat prejudiced, and yet we cannot but believe that a careful investigation would show that Indi anapoiis would be an excellent Piace for one of the new banks. The farmers of Indiana would be glad to have it here, as would the people of this city.”

Dog Pays

(By Walt Mason)

The sun trails on, across the brassy sky, the grass is brown, the earth is hard and dry, the trees are drooping in the yellow glare, the births are swooning in the torrid hir, and melting man cries out—alas, in vain!—“l’d give three bones to see a good wet rain!” Men stand and gasp, apostrophize the heat, where moulting elms cast shade upon the street, relate old tales, and say they will be durned, if ever yet they were so scorched and burned. The women rest in hammock and in chair, and with their fans attempt to stir the air; in modest terms they say there is no sense in heat that melts the knotholes in a fence. The little kids don’t play upon the street, but hang around and talk of prickly heat. The wilting dogs, for which these days were named, crawl in their holes. embarrassed and ashamed. Cheer up, sad hearts, and, think about the coal for -which you must blow the hard-earned roll’ Full soon these days of torture will be gone—how will you then redeem your duds from pawn—the duds you’ll need to keep your systems warm, and shield your whiskers from the bitter storm?

GENERAL ORDER EXPLAINS

Stand ol Monon Railroad , in Threatened Strike of Trainmen. Explaining the company’s stand in the present railroad dispute, a general order, drawn in the office of the general superintendent, made its appearance at ail Monon terminals between Chicago and Louisville. It is posted in a conspicuous place. It ‘ cctares that all men who go un strike will thereafter not be considered employes of the company and [sets forth the attitude of the company in detail. The order follows:

“Lafayette, Incl., August 12, 1916. “Tc all Engineers Firemen, Conductors, Trainmen and Yardmen: „ Tills company has very carefully considered the demands of the employes in engine, train and yard sei vice for the adoption of an eigi thour day with overtime at the rate of time and one-half time, which demand is equivalent to an increase of .■> i per cent in wages, and fines that tc concede the demands would result in incurring an expense lar oeyond its ability to meet and beyond wnat is believed to be fair for the men to usk. "Arbitration has been offered in two forms:First, by reference to the interstate commerce commission, and, second, in Lae regular manner prescribed by the federal law. Those offers were rejected. We are told by your representatives that the ballot is in favor of striking if necessary to enforce your demands.

“The long period of friendly rela'ions between the company, its officers and the men on this property is apparently about to be broken by youi act in leaving the service. The management deeply regrets these conditions, and has earnestly endeavored to show you the desirability of c-juiinuing the friendly and cordial relations which we have mutually enjoyed so many years. The settlement of differences through resort to a strike is a wholly unnecessary and wasteful proceeding, disastrous to both sides of the controversy. “To those emp.oyes wi,o have to de ide whae their action will be in response to the call to strike it is iair to any that the company’s purpose win be as foiiows: First —‘Employes who remain cox'xtiniiously in the service will oe Pieced at the iiead of the respective scivice rosters in the order of their present relative position thereon, and will hereafter oe consiucred the senior employes oi the compatiy. “Second—Employes who join in the strike do by such action leave me service of the company, and in sb doing ail rigats and privileges as employes cease. "Tnird—Employes who leave the may re-enter same only at the option of (he employing officers, F.nd then only as new employes; their position on the roster dating from tne date they are permitted to resume duty. Before again entering the service they will be required tc pass a physical examination to be prescribed for new employes, and will also oc required to pass the examination on rules as prescribed for employes of the class of service which they enter. A You are again urged to give this important matter careful consideration, bearing in mind the seriousness ol tne step which you are called upon to take. Many of you have spent a business life-time in the Monon service and have families and

. hemes. Think before you strike of* ait that y dei act involves. Arc your present grievances so' greet as to justify you m jeopar 1-f izing all you have gained while in' tne company’s service? “P. L. McMANUS, “General Superintendent.’

Government Egg Car Is Touring Indiana

The egg candling, packing an 1 chilling car of the t . S. department of agr* 'Pure i? now on a tour over the lines of the Monon lines in Indiana in order 4 o aid poultry and egg handlers to pack and ship their products to distant points. The itinerary for this section of the state is as follows: Rensselaer August 18 Lowell August 20 Michigan City August 21 • Riverside .. . . August 22 Francesville .- August 23 Monticello August 24 Delphi ... August 25 Kirklin ............August 26 Sheridan ..August 28 At all these points, demonstrations of .the proper methods of candung eggs and of packing and chilling egg S; and poultry will be given. The demonstration car is in itself a complete refrigerating plant on wheels, with its own gasoline engine for operating the refrigerating blowers which in the course of ha.lt an hour can lower the temperature of the cold room to 32 degrees. One object of the car’s tour is to show buyers and shippers how to candle eggs by commercial standards so that they can be bought on the basis of Quality and an enormous amount of waste and loss avoided. The car is in charge cf government specialists, who show all interested how to distinguish between “fresh" eggs, “stale" and “heated" eggs, “bloodrings,” “white rots” and “black rots.” The demonstration in detecting “white rots” is regarded as especially important, as these frequently are confused with fresh eggs. Grading by size and cc.ndit en of shell also is dem-nstrated The importance of prr-ooliug the eggs before they are packed and shipped in an ordinary refrigerator car is emphasized. fn tuc demonstration car, eggs can be brought down to a proper temperature for shipping in 24 hours; if not thus cooled they wo’ld require to r or five days to reach this low temperature in a refrigerating car. Proper methods of using fillers and fiats and packing eggs in cases are also demonstrated and, by the aid of models, shippers and railroad men are shown methods of stowing cases in cars so as to minimize damage in transit. Nine per cent of the eggs shipped to New York city alone are now cracked or mashed on the way to destination, an enormous vvaste which raises the price to the consumer without benefiting the producer in any way. Much of this loss could be avoided by better packing and stowing. The government has carried out elaborate tests of different methods and those have been found most successful are discussed by the experts in charge.

Information is given on the dressing, grading, precooling and packing of poultry. A model of a small, inexpensive, ice-chilled, precooling plant, designed especially for poultry and eggs, will be exhibited and explained. Poultry properly packed and chilled Lbefore being placed in the does not deteriorate either in flaVor or quality as do ordinary ice-packed shipments and better on the market. In previous seasons the demonstration car has traveled through southern Indiana, Texas, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Kentucky, with gratifying results. The car is, in fact, a traveling argument for doing business on a quality basis. This has been found by experience to be the only basis which assures satisfactory profits to producers and shippers.
