HOW MR. ROOT CAN HELP

Presumably, Elihu Root ’has a large measure of influence with the leaders of the Republican party. They have sought and, in some important particulars, have adopted his advice with regard to the treaty of peace; even more recently they have permitted him to sound, the “keynote” of the Republican campaign in New York state. Those

who manage the Republican party and those who direct the Republican majority in congress owe some sort of deference to Mr. Root’s opinions and counsel. The case being as it is, why does Mr. Root waste time in criticism and complaints of what he appears to deem the government's delay in completing reconstruction? Instead of condemning the executive departments, why doesn’t Mr. Root turn to the Republican congress which has power, which has a program—presented to it by President Wilson in two different messages, submitted months apart—and which unquestionably has the obligation to legislate for the welfare of the country? Reconstruction! is delayed; peace is postponed; domestic affairs and foreign relations are in abeyance; the American people are under restraint because the Republican congress refuses to perform its duty.

Fatuous and useless is this talk of Republican conventions and Republican leaders about what should be done to put the country on a peace-time basis. They know what is needed and whose duty it is to supply the need. The party in control of congress is the party which must take the initiative and assume the responsibility. Let Mt. Root remind his fellow Republicans of that fact. Having begun by making the treaty of peace a question of party politics. Republican senators will surprise no one if they end by making it an issue of partisan faction-

alism. Senator Johnson wants to kill the treaty because he seems to imagine Its death would give life to his presidential boom. He and Senator Borah and Senator McCormick refuse to permit the adoption of “mild" reservations lest the treaty might thereby be saved. So this group of “irreconcilables" vote for the Lodge reservations not to protect America, but to defeat the treaty, and in the vatn hope of promoting Mr. Johnson’s candidacy at the same time. Mr. Lodge knows and furthers the Johnson plan to prevent ratification, through hostility to the treaty and not out of a wish to see Johnson the Republican nominee. Senator Harding, another Republican candidate, professes to favor the treaty and the League of Nations —with reservation to the former—but either fears to risk his political fortunes by opposing Johnson’s scheme or else secretly shares his wish for treaty's defeat.

It was always the boast of Republican leaders that theirs was “the party of the business iman.” They have posed from the beginning as the friends of business. That friendship found expression in their tariff laws and in various domestic politicies, they asserted. Yet, with all this concern and regard for business, the Republicans remained in power for 40 years without devising a safe monetary system; without making provision for farm loans; without taking a step to create an American mercantile marine; without any attempt to modernize and expand our consular system in the interest of our foreign commerce. A Republican congress at this moment is opposing the enlargement of our merchant fleet, is preventing the repeal of the tax on clothing and the like; is reducing the appropriation required to continue and extend the good work of the foreign trade service of the department of commerce. And the business man can’t seem to understand this sort of friendship.

Michigan is still receiving a great deal of deleterious advertisement from the trial of the hundred and more Republicans who are charged with corruption, fraud and conspiracy in connection with the election of Truman H. Newberry to the United States senate. It is a credit to the state that most of its people —including a large number of Republicans—'have condemned and would punish this crime against suffrage. The prosecution and punishment of the criminals, big and little, and the public repudiation of men who profit by such outrages will take every blemish from Michigan’s fair name. Senator Sherman of Illinois declares that Republicans must “save” Senator Newberry, now under charges of corruption, fraud and conspiracy in connection with his

THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

FARMER’S WIFE GAINED 33 POUNDS

“I Can't Say Enough for Tanlac After What It Did for Vs," Says Huntington Man. Remarkable, indeed, was the statement made by A. D. Chinn, a well-knowm farmer, living on IL F. D. No. 3, Huntington, West Virginia, a few days ago. Mr. Chinn called at t ! ne McGuire drug store in Huntington and declared that at the time Mrs. Chinn began taking Tanlac she was entirely helpless with rheumatism and weighed only 65 pounds, but that she now weighs 98 pounds, having gained 33 pounds, and that there has been such a wonderful change in her condition in the past 60 days as to cause ast<?n» ishiT.bnt among her friends and neighbors. Following is Mr. Chinn’s statement:

“My w’ife has shown such wonderful improvement since she began taking Tanlac that 1 don’t mean for her to miss a single dose. So I have made a special trip here to-day, over roads that are almost impassable; in fact, I could have used a boat in places, coming here to get more Tanlac for her. “She has been suffering with rheumatism of the nerves, neuritis, 1 believe they call it—and a general run down condition for thre: years, and had become entirely helpless. She could not even use her knife and fork. I was having to feed her and lift her about like a baby and that was easy to do, tor she only weighed 65 pounds She had lost all interest in life, as nothing helped her and she had no hope of even being any beter. “One day I was talking to a friend of mine about my wife’s condition and he advised me to have her try Tanlac. That sami afternoon I carried her a bottle of it and after took it for a few days I noticed some improvement. She has taken six bottles now without mis Sing a single dose and has improved until she is no longer the sajmle person. She now weighs 98 pounds, making an actual gain of 33 pounds. She and I both, as well as the rest of the family, believe that Tanlac has saved her life and of all of the people who have made statements about being benefited I believe we have the most cause to be thankful. Tanlac has been a godsend to her and a blessing to the entire family by relieving her tortures of this aw’ful rheumatism, and I can’t say enough for it.” Tanlac is sold in Rensselaer by Larsh & Hopkins, and in Remington by Frank L. Peck; in Wheatfield by Simon Fendig.—Advt.

election to the senate. There was not a very enthusiastic public response to this cry for help. Senator Harding, one of the many Republican presidential candidates, is wasting a lot of his own and the peolpile’s time campaigning for vo-tes in Texas. If he doesn’t become president unftil Texas decides to support him, he has a long wait ahead. “There are differences between Senator Lodge and Senator Borah,’’ says a Washington correspondent. One difference is that Borah is frank enough to adimlit he wants to kill the peace treaty. Is Chairman Hays quite sure that his committee of 171 is sufficiently numerous to represent all the different Republican views on the league of nations?

THE PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARIES

Held in Nineteen States—Some Have Already Voted. Presidential primary elections are held in 19 states as follows: North Dakota, Meh. 16; South Dakota, Meh. 23; Michigan, Apr. 5; Wisconsin, Apr. 6; Illinois, Apr. 13; Nebraska, Apr. 20; Montana, Apr. 23; Massachusetts, New Jersey and Ohio, Apr. 27; Maryland, May 3; California and Indiana, May 4; Pennsylvania and Vermont, May 18; Oregon, May 21; Texas and West Virginia, May 25; New Hampshire held her primary Meh. 9. In a number of other states, the direct primary is optional with the state committee of any party. In Georgia, the Democrats have ordered such an election for Apr. 29. The preferential primary election operates variously in the states mentioned. In some, the delegates are later chosen in regular party state convention but go to the party na-> tional convention “instructed” by the result of the popular .vote. They must support' thq winning primary candidate so long as his name Is before the convention. In other states,

delegates are chosen by the primary. In Ohio, for example, the candidate for delegate must state first and second choice for presidential candidate and at the same time pledge himself to support the popular choice of the state. In Pennsylvania the candidate may either pledge himself to support the popular choice or indicate under his name on the ballot that he does not promise to support the popular choice. ' ’ In other words, the primary elections in these 19 states are mostly Important as indications of popular sentiment. They determine nothing conclusively.

ONE IRISHMAN’S STAND

Evansville, Meh. 17. —John J. Nolan, postmaster of Evansville, in an address at the luncheon of the Evansville Rotary club Tuesday, took a stand against “divided allegiance.” Mr. Nolan said: “It is an outrage to this country that De Valera, president of the Irish republic, was permitted to come to this country under his assumed title. Had I been mayor of New York I would never have permitted De Valera to lead the parade on the night of the floating of the Irish republiKloan as he did in New York by the consent of Mayor Hyland. In former years I celebrated on St. Patrick’s day. Today I celebrate on two days —Armistice day and the Fourth of July.”

COUNTY EDUCATIONAL NOTES

(Continued from Page One)

censing teachers has not changed in the least. The state department issues certificates of professional training to individuals who have attended college or normal schools outside Indiana. A special blank can be gotten to aid such a college man or woman in getting his credentials before the state teachers’ training board at Indianapolis. If the transcript of credentials merits either a provisional certificate or life license then the applicant will be given what the transcript of credentials merit. Otherwise the applicant must take and pass the regular teachers’ examination before a- license can be issued. Furthermore the accredited schools in Indiana issue certificates of professional training to applicants who were not in the teaching profession prior to 1908. Such applicants must possess such a certificate before a state or county license can be issued. This is equally true of the county superintendent’s teaching permits. They can only be issued to applicants upon request from trustees and only to those who have a certificate of professional training. Applicants should make a careful study of Indiana law to discover their own teaching status. It is especially interesting to note the response that Demotte patrons and friends of education are giving their school this year. The play recently staged at Konovsky’s ha%i netted a neat little amount slightly above SBO. This fund was accumulated to buy books for the school library. Tefft shows loyalty quite frequently also. The school netted about SSO for a similar purpose a few nights back. South Marion consolidated gave a school function recently and made nearly S6O also to apply towards paying for their victrola. It is highly commendable to any community that recognizes the place of the school as a genuine community asset. The most promising feature for the future of Jasper county will be found cudgeled in some forms of school loyalty. Many of the Barkley, Union, Milroy township schools will close next week. Most of the eighth grade pupils in Union township will continue their work in the Fair Oaks school which is maintaining a specie of the junior high school. Keener township offers the same opportunity to eighth graders in the country schools also. Demotte is maintaining a specie of the junior high school where they are allowed to continue. Patrons in Jasper county are registering very few complaints through the mails nowadays. Practically every teacher in ,Jasper county Is doing her best to wind up a successful term of school. A community is very sensitive to impositions upon the children. Whenever a teacher manifests a disposition, to shirk any duty then objections through the mail begin to come to the trustee and county superintendent. The patrons have a perfect right so register well-founded complaints against the Indifferent teacher. The teachers’ pedigrees will soon be given a full airing when the trustees begin their work with the enumeration in about two weeks. All signs are very favorable to the teachers In general to date. A number of “big dinner” occasions are being planned in communities to give the teacher a farewell remembrance.
