The Linonier Banuer ESTABLISHED 1866. - By W.C. B. HARRISON Published every Tuesday and Priday and entered in the Postoffice at Ligonier, Ind., as second class matter, i W FRIDAY, AUG. 18, 1916 “We want no nation’s property. We mean to question no nation’s honor. We do not wish to stand selfishly in the way of the development of any nation. We want nothing that we cannot get by our own legitimate enterprise and by the inspiration of our own example, and, standing for these ‘things, it is not pretention on our part to say that we are privileged to stand for what every nation would wish to stand for and speak of these things which all humanity must desire.” “Woodrow Wilson.

NEWSPAPER COMMENT

Mr. Hughes’' courage in 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 western states by his action. If he loses New York, Ohio and Massachusetts the exchange will be far from protitable, and it is to be considered that all these states have only recently voted against woman suffrage by large majorities.—Detroit Free Press. (Standpat 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 of progressives who believed in 1912 that the republican party was reactionary cannot now be herded back into that party unchanged, unrepentant, bossed by the same old bosses, devoid of any issue save the noble one of “‘beating Wilson”’ and getting the offices.—New York Times.

- 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 calamity-wailing of Mr. Hughes, who is up against a hard thing trying to convince the American laborer, who under demoeratic times is getting two dollars where he got but one under standpat conditions, that there is any reason for a change.—Ft. Wayne 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 therepublican state press, evident[y eminating from this press bureau: “What would Mr. Hughes have done had he been president? The answer is plain. He would have marshalled all the resourcesof this ‘greatnation 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 Mn Hughes’ stand on the issue of Americanism.” Now will you be good.

Saturday August 19, will be a big day for the democracy of Indiana. It marks the opening of the campaign in this state, and a speakfest and barbecue will be held in Fort Wayne with Congressman Adair, democratic candidate for governor, aschief speaker. All the candidates on the state ticket will be present. Noble county will send a big delegation.

Ice in Goshen has advanced from 35 to 50 cents a hundred. ’Rpe increase is due to the war, no doubt Angle

worms have also gone up from 50 to 75 cents a quart. There is a shortage due to the war in Europe. The war is charged with producing the long hot spell and the drought shortened the crop of worms. |

When Samuel Gompers, president of the National Federation of Labor, indicated that President Wilson is entitled to reelection on his record the standpat crowd of republicans became yery wroth and now Senator Sherman of Illinois, has made an assault on Gompers in a senate speech. :

If it is possible to leave his .duties in Washington for a day Congressman Cline will visit Fort Wayne next Saturday and pariticipate in the big democratic meeting there. Congressman Cline is a conscientious and hard working official and has had a long seige in congress. |

President Wilson will not make a speaking tour although he will deliver some addresses during the -campaign. It is not necessary for the president to travel in order to reach the people. The newspapers will carry his messages into every home in the United States. v

It is predicted by politicians who have a full grasp of the situation that President Wilson will be reelected by a larger electoral vote than was given him four years ago. The belief is expressed that Wilson will carry Ohio, Michigan and possibly Illinois.

Some of the former progressive politicians with an itch for office and a few of the progressive newspapers who have gone back to the old standpat crowd for purely business -reasons are standing in deadly fear of having their utterances of four years ago sprung on them. ‘|

Senator Taggart certainly made the old heads in the upper branch of congress sit up and take notice when he began smashing at the pork barrel graft with his sledge hammer blows. As a business senator Mr. Taggart is on the job.

Ball Team Forming Rapidly

The Ligonier base ball team will soon be a reality and local fandom will soon. have the team ithey had longed for. Manager Biggs is assembling an excellent team c¢omposed both of home talent and out of town players of reputed ability. = Mr. Biggs and Herman Sack were in South Bend Thursday evening.to conduct negotiations with three players namely, ‘‘Lefty” Gilbert a fine south paw pitecher, XKirby a catcher who made the famous trip to the Orient with the Chicago univer sity team and an infielder named Toupey whose hitting has been.a sensation in the South Bend factory league. -

Run of 11l Luck

F. E. Dagly, accompanied by his aged parents and his wife and son, the latter aged about 13 years, had a run of bad luck Tuesday when they bumped into a drove of steers with their automobile on the highway near the H. E. Hoak farm and broke a leg of a valuable animal. Mr. Hoak was driving the cattle to a new pasture when the accident occurred. The steer was butchered at once and sold to a local butcher and Dagly made good the loss to Mr. Hoak. -

Dagly discovered on consulting a physician here that his son had lockjaw as the result of stepping on a tack some days before. The family resides at White Pigeon, Mich., and word has reached Ligonier that the lad died.

WHEAT PRICES RATHER STIFF

Prospects of Little Change In Price---Oats Being Held By Growers -

. It is the opinion of the Ligonier Milling Co. that there will be little variation in the price of wheat from now on until the remainder of the season. Of course it is likely that wheat will drop or raise a cent or two but they believe that the price will be $1.40 or thereabout. At the start of this season but $1.05 was paid, now it has risen to $1.39 and the mill has paid as high as $1.45. The high prices are due to black rust in the great western wheat states especially in the- Dakotas ang to a vast amount of speculation in Chicago and many other centers. : The mills have bought 100,000 bushels of new wheat this year, 40,000 of which has been shipped in. The milling company reports that the flour business is fairly good although not to their capacity. The Cooperative Elevator Co. has bought 12,000 bushels of new wheat at prices varying from $1.07 to $142. They are paying $1.36 now. They say that the farmers are holding back oats because they fear a poor corn season. If the corncrop is good oats will be sold in" great quantities. Prices have changed little, the lowest price paid was 34 cents while the \ highest was 38.. 1t is now bought for 36 cents. -

They think that owing to the black rust the prospects are good for still higher prices for wheat.

Old Issue of Banner

Derr Koontz brought to this office a copy of the Banner issued October’ 15, 1874. The paper is as white as bond and of much superior quality to that in use today. The copy of the. paper was addressed to E. P. Koontz. The chief items of interest in the paper were election results which showed Noble county democratic by over 300 majority and an advertisement of VanAmburgh circus. Among the advertisers were Drs. G.

.The Ligonier market for the week of Oct. 15, 1874, showed wheat at $1.02, rye 75¢, oats 45e, corn 55¢, potatoes 60c, cloyer seed $3.50, wool 44c. In pork shoulders were quoted at 10 cents and ham 14 cents. Hogs on foot were $4.75 a hundred, butter 30e, lard 15c, eggs 18¢, hay $l4 a ton. Aside from meat prices the cost of living did not fall so far below that of today. '

Meets With Peculiar Accident

Mesdames M. A. Hutchison, John Biddle and Joseph Yeager had an exciting experience just before noon ‘Thursday when the automobile in ‘which they were being conveyed to an Adventist picnic dropped down into the river embankment two miles west of Ligonier. The car belongs to and was driven by Ephraim Bartley, of Kimmell. He attempted to turn round and backed off the bank, taking a drop of 7or 8 feet. The car struck the earth right side up and strange to say no damage was done and no one ‘ was injured except the nerves of the iladies.

Glen L. Rice. v Miss Jeanneret was born September 5, 1839, in Westbury, England, and came to America in 1842. Her succeeding childhood and girlhood years ‘were spent in London, Canada; Chicago, Ill.; and Bristol, Indiana. She came to Ligonier in 1863, where she ‘resided with her sister Mrs. Edwin ‘Reeve, with whom she moved to Western Springs, 111., in September 1902. She united with Plymouth Congregational church, Chicago, in 1857, and later became a member of the Ligonier Presbyterian church.

35,000 More Hudson Super-Sixes ' ‘ " Detroit, Mich., July 1, 1916 We have today to announce:- -A - That more than ten thousand Hudson Super-Sixes have now beenZdelivered to owners. | - ' i That we have in four months, by tremendous exertion, quadrupled our daily output. L ‘ L - That we have parts and materials, on hand and in process, for 20,000 more of the present Super-Six. = Constantly increasing demand has just forced us to place contracts on materials for an additional 1»‘5,000. o , ' Thus it is settled that at least 35,000 more of the Hudson Super-Six will be built like the present model. Our production is now 3,500 monthly. . - e o ’

No Change in Sight Our opinion is that a like announcement will be made in a year from now. The Super-Six invention in one bound increased motor efficiency by 80 per cent. From a small, light six, which delivered 42 horsepower, it created at 76-horse-power-motor. And simply by ending vibration. Stock Super-Sixes, in a hundred tests, have out” ‘rivaled all other stock car performance. In speed, in hill climbing, in quiek acceleration and endurance, they have done what was never done before. - No mancan doubt that the Super-Six holds the pinnacle place among motors. And there is no higher place in sight. , : After eight months of experience, with 10,000 cars, not one important improvement in design suggests itself to our engineering corps. - _ So the Super-Six will remain as it is. And, because of our "patents, it will maintain its supremacy. ; : e ‘Watch the 10,000 Watch the 10,000 Super-Sixes now running, and judge if you want a car like them.

S Miss Jeanneret found great pleasure and comfort in music and poetry, the following verses by Phoebe Cary being | from one of her favorite hymns: : “One sweetly solemn thought Comes to me o’er and o’er,— I am nearer home today o 1 Then 1 ever have been before. . ““Father, perfect my trust! Strengthen the might of my faith; Let me feel as 1 would when I stand * On the rock of the shore of death: “Feel as I would when my feet Are slipping on the brink; For it may be I'm near home— Nearer now than I think.” _ The Courtesy of Dimming Your Auto Lights | Much has been said and much has been written asking motorists to dim their head lights when driving after dark—and still it seems that a great many drivers overlook this courtesy to the machine or team they are passing. Why is it? Is it because that the ‘‘other fellow doesn’t?”’ Is it because they relish the ‘‘tight pinch” that so often happens from the blinding glare of the head lights? We do not know their motives, do you? It

is a mark of courtesy that gentlemen should not overlook. He will offer his seat in a crowded room to a lady, he will tip his hat or any other of the little things that signify the gentleman so why shouldn’t he cultivate the much more necessary courtesy of dimming his head lights and slowing up his motor when passing others, which is so easily accomplished and would mark him as a gentleman on the highway? :
