YES! INDIANA I THE FIGHT CENTER.
THE EYES OF THE NATION1- will be upon this grand old Hoosier state during the campaign. Indiana always a fighting ground will be several
tims more so from now till November. Politicians with intimate knowledge of conditions in every state in the Union declare that nowhere does state pride manifst itself so strongly as here. "The gentleman from Indiana" is
certainly not "without honor in his own country. With Watson, the dashing brilliant leader commanding the republican hosts, and Tom Marshall, the democratic candidate, calm forceful, winning men to him by his balance his judgment and character, and John W. Kern on the national ticket, every
precinct will be a storm center, every village fighting ground.
The political prophet may as well throw "former results" and "past per
formances" in the waste basket. It is a new field with the favors evenly
balanced and despite bulletins and prognostications the results will probably remain In exciting uncertainty until the last ballots are counted. Republicans who harken back to 1904 and smile complacently will have a real awakening. That Kern's nomination has changed the situation is palpable
already. The result in Indiana may not affect the presidential election but it mav change state politics for the next decade. The winner will be he who
works earnestly, enthusiastically and untiringly. He must use every honor
able aid. He must avail himself of every fair equipment. The Hoosier state will be in the linelight from now on and in the language of the old fisherman
down on the Wabash, "You will be disappointed If you're not disappointed HE'S DEAD, "SOT AGIN WIMMEN'S" WILES.
THEY ARE HAVING AN AWFUL TIME In Georgia because of the
fact that a representatives has introduced a bill providing that If any woman
should entrap a Georgian into matrimony by false pretences, the marriage
should be null and void. The grounds for such nullification, as set forth in
the bill, are the use of scents, paint, powder,, perfume, cosmetics, waters
artificial teeth, false hair, iron stays, corsets, pads or paddings, hoops or high heeled shoes, V cut waists, drop stitched or rainbow hosiery, "or other
deceitful means or artful practices."
The bill would stand little show in Indiana if a well-dressed Indiana
girl got after the legislators. Men surely like to be seen with a girl who takes the best of care of herself even if she employes some of the feminine
artifices. They don't want a frump. "Why should a woman use perfume?"
A woman who uses one delicate perfume and no other gradually
comes to be associated with that perfume, and it helps to make here at
tractive and even delightful.
And why shouldn't a woman use toilet waters? They are cooling to the
skin and take away any irritation that is apt to develop, particularly in warm weather. And what is more natural and sensible than cooling face powder? Men use just as much powder after shaving as women do at
all times.
"As to artificial teeth if a woman's teeth have been removed, from any
cause, she owes it as an absolute duty to society to have them replaced as
speedy as possible and as artistically as possible.
We wonder if the Georgia lawmaker likes to see a woman with three or four straggling little hairs on the top of head. Perhaps he doesn't know that there is going to be more hair worn than ever this fall- The more puffs
the hairdressers can put on a woman's head the more money comes in. The
bigger the hat the more hair you can get under it.
"The objection to the corset is ridiculous. Did you ever see a woman in the streets without corsets? You'd know her if you had. Talk about a meal
sack! And what sort of a place is Georgia, anyway, if they are still given to
pads and padding?
As far as the rainbow hosiery is concerned, we'll bet a cooky that if the
representative from Georgia saw a bit of rainbow hosiery crossing the street it would dazzle him and he couldn't take his eyes off it. What kind of women
do they have in Georgia, anyway?

UP AMD DOWN IN INDIANA
THE STATUE OF A REAL MAN. A notable statue was presented a few days ago to the University of Nevada by Clarence II. Mackay. It was the statue of his father, the
founder of the Mackay fortunes.
The statue is the conception of a fine
idea. The likeness of the first Mackay is shown as he appeared In the days
wteen he laid the foundation of his
early fortunes as a miner.
There it stands a young man of
sturdy bearing. He wears a flannel shirt, open at the neck. Corduroy
trousers are stuffed into cowhide boots. On the head is a Blouch hat. A miner's
pick Is clinched in one hand.
A statue of the multimillionaire as
he appeared in later life would have
shown a different figure a frock coat, silken hose and high hat.
But the other is the real Mackay. He was a man before he was a mil
lionaire.
The statue does credit both to father
and son. The pride of the son in the father who won success with 6hovel
and sluicing cradle is commendable and worthy of such a sire.
And as the rugged figure stands in
its place It Is an ever abiding Index to
the dignity of labor.
The mudsills of our republic were
laid by men who labored with their
hands. The paths of the new world were blazed through primeval forests by men of toil. Bronzed miners with pick and pan forced the wealth that we enjoy from sluice and flinty rock.
We must continue to honor these
men.
We must have a care lest the time
may come when, in our prosperous
pride, we shall come to look with con
descension upon the man who earns
his bread by the sweat of his brow
and the labor of his hands.
We must impress upon our youth the
lesson that the man upon whose gar
ments there is the stain of soil, caught In the effort of his dally toil, wears a uniform as patriotic as the uniform of the gayly harnessed soldier; that the
scars on the hands of the laborer are
as honorable as the scars received in battle.
All hall the Mackay statue! In our new American art let us be
gin to fashion the statues of our great
men not as these men were finally made, but as in the making. ,
Because it will keep us from forget
ting whence we sprung.
..UP AND DOWN INDIANA LIGHTNING'S QUEER FREAK. Lightning struck a big walnut tree in the rear yard of the home of William Dejean in Vincennes during his supper hour, setting fire to the tree and the house and putting every telephone in the neighborhood out of working order.

THIS IS MY 24TH BIRTHDAY. Duke of Sae-CbnrK-Gotha.
Charles Edward, the present reigning duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, was born July 19, 1S84. the son of the late Ieopold, duke of Albany, and Princess
Helena of Waldeck and Pyrmont. He
was not in the direct line of succes
sion to the throne and succeeded his
uncle. Alfred, July 30, 1900, actually
against his will, because the direct heir to the throne, II. R. II. Prince Arthur of Connaught, born Jan. 13, 1RS3.
son of the duke of Connaught. positively refused to become a German prince. The young prince, together with Prince Arthur, were at Eton in the midst nt their studies, when Prince Alfred died. Upon Connaught'a refusal the young duke of Albany unwillingly accepted the high position and leaving Eton became a student at the famous University of Bonn. The duke, notwithstanding his youth, takes life seriously and devotes himself with zeal to his studies, to better prepare himself for the responsibilities of his august position. His studies comprise law and science, political economy and general history, besides the fine arts.

The formal notification of John W. Kern that he has been nominated by the democrats for vice president, will be held in Indianapolis, probably during the early part of September, although the exact date has not yet been fixed. W. J. Bryan will be here on that day and will make the only speech he will deliver in Indiana during the campaign. The place for holding the notification meeting has not yet been selected but it may be held in the colosseum at the state fair ground. Immediately after the nomination of Mr. Kern at Denver the Indiana state board of agriculture sent a telegram to the democratic national committee asking that the notification of Mr. Bryan and Mr.
Kern be held jointly in this city and offering the use of the colosseum for that purpose. The committee decided, however, nto notify Mr. Bryan at Lin

Senator A. J. Bowser Is evidently one of the constant readers of THf: Times. In the political notes in this papei, a few issues past, there appeared an item in which the senator was given credit for the introducing of the "full crew bill." He was also said to have been instrumental in securing the passege of the sixteen hour bill. Tt ' seems that the two bills became twisted and that it was the sixteen hour bill that the senator introduced and the full crew bill which he helped to have passed. The following is an excerpt from a letter which Senator Bowser wrote to Fred C. Crumpacker on the subject: I did Introduce the sixteen hour bill in the senate. I did this on Feb. 8. 1907, and it was known as i senate bill 397. The records show that the bill reached engrossment on Feb. 11, 1907, at my request, Mr. Hottel introduced this bill in the house, and it was known as house bill 517. The house bill got through the lower house first, and I had it substituted for my own bill to save time, and It became a law on March 8, 1907, and may be found on page, 15, acts of 1907.
