THE UNIVERSAL CAR ' " Out of the more than 3,000,000 Ford cars now in use, about * sixty per cent have been sold to farmers. Probably no other one thing has brought to the farm so much of comfort and profit as has the Ford car. It has enlarged the social life, doubled the iacuities for marketing, brought the town next door to the farm, multiplied for the farmer the pleasures of living, and by the same token the Ford Touring Car has brought just as much pleasure to the residents of the towns and cities, because it is an every day in the year utility, answering the demand of quick transportation at low expense. A family car without an equal in low cost of operation and maintenance. We solicit your order for one. We have the full line of Ford cars. We carry the genuine Ford Parts, and assure you the best in mechanical service and the most reasonable prices. Central Sales Co. . jaWgam ] I r Phone Three-One-Nine S.

A CHANCE FOR CONSTRUCTION

In a letter to one of his friends and supporters, Senator Johnson says that he could “cheerfully and enthusiastically go forward with the Republican party” provided Senator Harding in his speech of acceptance “honestly, frankly and courageously

takes his position in favor of the Americanism that is oursA That means, from the Johnson point of view, opposition to the league of nations. Senator Johnson continues: | The Republican platform plank on the league of nations was not such as I would have written, but nevertheless its language seemed to me capable of but one construction. The big issue which has engrossed me ( for so long and which has become a part of my life, seems to have been 1 met by both platforms, the Republic-1 ans assuming the position I have, taken from the first, and the Democrats the contrary position in favor of the league. Under these circumstances it seems to me that men who viewed this overshadowing issue as I did could consistently follow but one course, and that was the acceptance of the party opposing the league and opposition to the party approving it. Clearly Senator Harding will have an opportunity to show his skill as an expositor and interpreter. Shortly after his - nomination, former President Taft announced that he would support the candidate and the platform, believing that the latter was capable of a construction wholly favorable to the league of nations, of which Mr. Taft is an ardent champion. Now Senator Johnson says that the platform is “capable of but one construction,” and he accepts it as committing the Republican party to opposition to the league. Such a pronouncement stands' in great need of “clarifying reservations,” and for these the country is looking, with a high degree of in- ! terest, to Senator Harding. In his i speech of acceptance he will give 1 his interpretation of the platform,

THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

and then the country—and Senator Johnson- —will know just what line of action he would take should he be elected President. There are many Republicans who are champions of the league of nations, and who believe that the party platform permits them to labor for its adoption. Their interest in the forthcoming statement of the candidate is quite as great as that of Senator Johnson. Whatever position Senator Harding assumes, he will, of course, take it “honestly, frankly and courageously.”—lndianapolis News (Rep.) —■ _ Lieutenant Governor Bush, presiding officer of the state senate during Gov. Goodrich’s second special session, gave his colleagues a hard rap Monday, when trying to round up a quorum to do business and, losing patience, said: “I ani going to tell the doorkeepers Ifo go to the hotels and arrest those senators there and bring them in here. Some of the senators are at home making hay and some of here might as well be at home making hay. If some of the absent senators had stood for some of the things I have stood for at the last regular session they • wouldn’t need to be here now.” And he was right. Had his brother Republicans in the senate listened to Bush rather than Goodrich et al it would not have been necessary to be convened in special session twice within a period of a few months to rectify mistakes of a body which Gov. Goodrich characterized on its adjournment as “the best legislature a in 50 years.”

We note that Representative W.

L. Wood of this district had the nerve to vote against the medical examination bill, providing that a couple desiring to get married must first be examined by a physician, at $2 per, and receive a certificate that each is free from any communicable disease they can secure a marriage license in Indiana. ‘‘The bill passed the house 1 Monday by a' vote of 74 to 14, and Mr. Wood was one of the 12 Republicans voting against it. We believe this provision will do more harm than good, should it become a law.

CAUCUS RULE FORCED ON G. O. P.

Machine Refuses to Allow Solons to Debate Important Questions in Public Hearing. Indianapolis, July 22. —Legislation caucus with a weather eye out for the party’s chances in November seems to be the accepted practice of the Republican machine in the special legislative session. From the time the g. o. p. state candidates O. K.’d Gov. Goodrich’s program until the present the majority members of both houses have been carefully held in check and few important measures have been allowed to come up for discussion on the floor. Everything has been done in caucus. There the friends of the administration, including the emissaries of Senator Watson and Warren T. McCray, the gubernatorial nominee, have been enabled to enforce their demands. The tangled tax situation has been the chief subject of discussion, and while the legislators are by no means in accord on the .matter, the administration forces have allowed them little discretion. Reports from the many caucuses held afe to the effect that the chief subject discussed was how to approach the voters in such a way as to insure success in November and not how to best remedy the taxation evil. The following record shows the readiness with which the Republicans lapsed into caucuses: Monday, July 13—Republicans caucus on administration “rubber stamp” program. Thursday—Two house caucuses on Tuthill bill legalizing the horizontal increases held invalid by the state supreme court. Friday—House again caucuses on Tuthill bill. Administration forces reinforced by the supporters of Watson and McCray force agreement and measure is passed by house by a vote of 63 to 30. Speaker Eschbach applies gag rule, giving each member only one minute to discuss bill in public. Senate holds three caucuses on legalization measure, final one lasting until after midnight. U. S. Lesh, Republican candidate for attorneygeneral, who was supported by the Watson forces in the primary, appeals for the enactment of the Tuthill measure. Senate names caucus committee to harmonize various suggestions into new bill. Saturday—House and senate both caucus on memorial bills. Sunday—Senate caucus committee considers Tuthill measure. Announces it favors compromies for the sake of political expediency. Monday —Senate caucus again considers -taxation bills. Tuesday—Senate caucus brings forth Kiper bill, which would “validate” the horizontal increases made by the state board of tax commissioners. Little different from Tuthill measure; Wednesday—Senate again caucuses on Kiper bill. Favor Bond Exemption

It has become known that McCray and Watson are bringing all the pressure they can exert in favor of the enactment of the Johnson bill, which would exempt the bondholders of the Indianapolis reduction plant from taxation. The fact that Gov. Goodrich, Senator Miles J. Furniss and Jet Moorman were stockholders in the Indianapolis reduction plant when it was sold to the city of Indianapolis in return for $170,000 in sanitary district bonds was exposed last week. Moorman had testified prior to the sale that the plant was not worth more than SIO,OOO. The minority report of the ways and means committee favoring passage of the bill was adopted by the house and immediately afterward the newspapers exposed the deal by which the administration financiers would be exempted from taxation. The bill then mysteriously disappeared and was missing until Tuesday, when Fred B. Robinson, one ot McCray’s managers, had the senate appoint a committee of three to inquire of the house relative to the missing measure. On going to the house the committee found the bill lying on the clerk’s desk. It is the common belief that following the expose one of the administration leaders pocketed it until the storm had blown over. The insistence of the McCray manager that the bill be brought out, however, has stirred the ire of many legislators who are opposed to passing special financial legislation for the benefit of Governor Goodrich and his friends. ’ '

CASE WAS GIVEN UP AS HOPELESS

“It Seemed to Be Just What I Needed,” Says Mrs. Maxine Katz. “My weight has actually increased sixteen pounds but I am not much surprised, for I haye been eating three hearty meals a day and picking up ever since I finished my first bottle of Tanlac," said Mrs. Maxine Katz, 437 East New York street, Indianapolis, Ind. “My neighbors all know what Tam lac had done for me and what I think of it, for when I visit one of them I hardly get seated before I start .talking about it, as I am so happy over regaining my health I just can’t help telling everyone who will listen to me. For the past five years I had not been able to eat a single meal without its causing me great distress. I didn’t dare eat anything solid and even the lightest foods would nearly kill me. Just as soon as I ate anything at all gas began to accumulate, I would have cramping pains and could hardly get my breath. I also suffered with splitting headaches just about all the time and at times my head felt like it would burst. I could get but little sleep, many a night not being able to sleep a wink all night long, and in the mornings I felt so tired and wornout it seemed like I would be compelled to go back to bed again. I had lost so much weight and was in such a run-down, weakened condition that most of the time when I started to do my housework I would become so tired I just had to stop and give it up entirely, and Quite often was in bed unable to get around at all for days at a time.

“Tanlac, seemed to be exactly the medicine I needed, so I stuck to it, but, to be honest about it, I never expected it to so completely restore my health as it has. At first I was particular about what I ate, for I had no idea any medicine cduld get my stomach in such good condition so quickly as Tanlac had, but I soon found I could eat just anything I wanted without suffering from it a particle afterward. I never have a sign of gas or those dreadful cramping pains and have not had a headache since I started taking Tanlac. My whole system seems to have been built up. I sleep well, always get up feeling greatly refreshed, and have regained my strength so it is no trouble for me to do my housework. In fact, I haven’t felt better in years than I do now. and I am so delighted with what Tanlac has done for me I intend to praise it as long as I live.” Tanlac is sold in Rensselaer by Larsh & Hopkins, and in Remington by Frank L. Peck; in Wheatfield. by Simon Fendig.—Advt.
