" 1 have constantly to remind myself that I am not the servant of those who wish to enhance the value.of their Mexican investment, but that I am the servant of the rank and file'of the people of the United States. So, gentlemen, I am willing,no matter what my personal fortunes may be, to play fer the verdict of mankind.

It is of marz value to the farming population of the country, -the basic element of the nation, than all the legislation in their behalf passed by the Republicansin the last half century. The farmer can give the best security in the world. 1t cannot be lost, hidden or destroyed, or permanently injured. Bad management may cause manu facturing, mercantile, railroad or other stock to drop from $2OO a share to far below: par. There are no such fluctuations -in land values; they are stable and enduring. I'arm loans suffer under one disadvantage—they are not liquid, not immediately or readily convertible into cash. '

The trouble has always been that our laws and our banking rules and regulations have been adapted only to the needs of the capitalists, merchants and business generally which only require short time loans, but have not been adapted to the borrowing needs of the farmers. But the evil is now cured and the lack provided for by the rural credits law. Ll

A TRUE PROGRESSIVE

Judge Albert D. Nortoni, the Missouri chieftain heretofore intimately associated with Roosevelt and other progressive leaders, and candidate for "governor of Missouri on the progressive ticket in 1912, has announced his support of President Wilson and will take an active part in the campaign. He has resigned .from the Missouri appellate court, to which he was elected for a twelve-year term as a republican, so that he can consistently support the democratic candidate. JFudge Nortoni says that Wilson has demonstrated real progressive ideals, while Hughes is a typical New, York lawyer wedded to the ideas and ideals of Big Business. He contrasts the federal reserve law, the federal credits law, the child labor law, the proposed scientific tariff commission ‘and the shipping bill, all Wilson measures, with Hughes’ opposition as governor of New York to the income tax amendment and his veto of the two cent fare rate bill, and the total lack, as evidenced by his spegches, of any real constructive program.' . Judge Nortoni asserts that a great many true progressives, resenting the betrayal of the party by former Bull Moose leaders, will support Wilson.

SOME SENTIMENT D. C. Moon, general superintendent of the N.. Y. C. railway appeals to employees of the road in the tender memories of the “Old 4.ake Shore,” his letter being produced in another column of the Banner. There was a sentiment surrounding the ‘“Old Lake Shore,” but it died when the road was swallowed up by the New York Cen#ral, and even the name killed. 1t is ha@lly the time for a great corporation like the N Y. C. to appeal to the sentiment when the directors, eager to enhance other properties at the expense of the *‘Old Lake Shore,”’ swallowed it up by connivance with the federal courts and over the protest of stockholders.

WOODROW. WILSON IN- - [DEPENDENT LEAGUE

TELLS WHY BUSINESS MEN OF COUNTRY ARE SUPPORTe ING PRESIDENT

MANY WERE FOR TAFT OR ROOSEVELT IN 1912

Prosperity Now: Exists Throughout This Country As Result Of * Much Wise Legislation

New York, Aug. 29, (Special)--The Woodrow Wilson Independent League is. making public the reasons why many New York business and professional men, who, in 1912, supported either Mr. Taft or Col. Roosevelt, are now. backing the president for reelection. Thousands are adeady enrolled in the league and the number is.increased already. - :

These men assert that the Wilson administration has put on the statute books much constructive and remedial legislation. A majority ol them proclaim first of all that President Wilson has kept the United States out of the war madness that seemingly is sweeping the world. These voters praise the president for his handling of the acute Mexican situation. They acclaim his diplomacy for the peaceful and proper adjustment of the Lusitania incident. They emphazise the fact that the United States now enjoys friendly relations with Central and South America, so cordial that no administration in. the history of the republic could boast of it. The suspicion of the United States which has obtained among the Latin-Amer-cans for generations has been entirely by the Wilson pdlicies, these voters assert. ' - i

The unexampled prosperity:now being enjoyed by the country is also cited by business men as an imperative and compelling reason for letting well enough alone and keeping that which is'good—to-wit Wilson rule, . ‘

H. E. Lesan, president of a large advertising company says both his radical and conversative mind agrees that Mr. Wilson is the man to serve during the next four years as chief executive of thisnation. - : *

“The time has come for progressive steps for wealth equalization, suffrage better lahor conditions, better opportunities for farmers and better opportunities for small business men. To my mind President Wilson has put on the statute books thus far more legislation looking to the accomplishment of these ends than any other president:we have had since the nation was founded. They will be improved but never removed.’’ :

“President Wilson expresses the progressive program of reform,’”’ said Robert D. Kohn, architect, in giving his reasons for joining the independent movement for Mr. Wilson. “As against Mr. Wilson, Mr. Hughes rep-resents-thie conservative forces of the country. Mr. Hughes opposed the inCome tax amendment to the state constitution when he was governor. Mr. Wilson not only stands for the ‘com= prehensive program of reform measures but he already accomrplished muchof it’L .

Hermam W. Block, member of the firm of S. Stein & Co., woolen importers, who in 1912-voted for Mr. Taft, said: .

**Mr. Wilson has been very earnest and sincere in favoring reform measures and it is due to his forcefulness and efforts that much of the beneficial legilation was enacted by congress. Few administrations have a record equalling the present one. In the Mexi‘can controversyw he may have made slight mistakes—few men avoid errors—but despite all the criticism of those vitally interested one way or another in Mexican affairs the President has succeeded in granting the prayer of all of us and has kept us out of war with Mexico.

““As for Mr. Flughes I have not heard from him one thing that would indicate that he would have handled differently the problems entrusted to the president. Mr. Hughes is making votes for Mr. Wilson. He is the presidents best vote getter today.” T. Newell Pfeiffer, assistant district attorney under Messrs. Whitman and Perkins, republicans is strong in his praise of the president’s attitude toward capital and labor.

“Governor Hughes says welfare work for the laboring men should be initiated by the employer,”’ ¢commanded Mr. Pfeitfer. ‘“‘The Wilsan idea is legislation making it possible for workers to do things for themselves—to recognize’ that; the laboring man has rights and to put him in the position of asserting them.” ““It is evident that should the .republican party be restored to power it would straightaway adop!’c an imperialistic policy that would, 1 am convigced, plunge the United States into complications such as caused the war in Europe.”’ : “The Wilson administration has put through a program of reforms under abnormal conditions such as no previous administration can show,” says John R. Gregg, pr®&ident of the Gregg Publishing Co.

““No good reason has been shown for a change. We know that things are safe under Wilson; we don’t know how they would be under Hughes and the intemperate nature of his utterances seem to dispell the belief that has éxisted in the judicial quality of his judgment. J

WILSON

“In the bloodiest crucible of all history he has kept the stainless banner of the Republic flying above 100,000,000 of people in peace and in honor. During these years of great trial, of difficulties, and complications crowding upon each other like waves of an angry sea, with enemies powerful from without and critics and tradueers within, with abuse cruel as it was cowardly, he emerges as majestic and powerful as a mountain after a storm, loved by all who believe in justice, and feared by those who temporize with wrong. Senator Ollie James, 1t his speech before the St. Louis Convention. o ;

‘James P. Goodrich in his race for governor of Indiana, as a republican condemns the department of oil inspection and presumably would abolish it. By inference and direct charge he blames the democrats for rewarding party workers' with oil inspection jobs. The oil inspection department is another institution created by and inherited from the republicans. The late Sid Conger, as chief inspector, certainly used the office for his own financial gain and_ his party’s profit. Halleck Johnson, the ‘first assistant inspector, is said to have made much money out of his job and so long as republicans were in control Mr. Goodrich made no complaint although chairman of the state republican commigee at the time and active in his party’s affairs. It-might be well for Mr. Goodrich to explain why he did not discover the faults of the oil inspection department until the democrats gained control and he became a a candidate for governor.

The esteemed editor of the Leader and James P. Goodrich, standpat candidate for governor of Indiana, do not agree. This fact is made manifest in Tuesday’s issue of the Leader wherein the Leader states that the Ralston administration has paid $915,549 on the state while three inches away on the first page of the paper Mr. Goodrich is quoted as declaring that Ralston has not paid $lOO,OOO on it to date. When it comes to judging figures Mr Goodrich is an expert. It is the way he made a million dolilars, but the Leader editor puts the number down as it comes to him.

Congressman Cline has proven a good and faithful servant of the people and he should be re-elected by an increased majority. Mr. _Cline has supported every progressive’ measure in congress, among them the Department of. Labor, Children’s Bureau, An Industrial Commission, Child Labor Law, Clayton Anti-trust Act, The New Banking Act, Farm Loan Act, The Income Tax Act, Agricultural Exteasion Bill, Boiler Inspection Bill, Good Roads Bill, Federal Compensation Law, Grain Grading Bill and All Pension Bills.

Public Schools to Open

All departments of the Ligonier publicischools will open for regular work Tuesday morning, September 5, at 8:30 o’clock. It is hoped and expected by the teachers that there may be a complete enrollment right from the first day. The school buildings have been thoroughly cleaned and disinfected and all precaution has been exercised to safeguard the health of the boys and girls. An effort has been made to make them pleasant work shops for the young people of the city and surrounding,community. We are aware, hdwever, that the buildings and equipment, a great asset to good schools, is but an attribute to an eflicient school. The structure is essential, yet like all businesses the scheol must be measured by its output; a product ready to serve efficiently their home, their community, their state, their country and indeed the world. The youth must be equipped with high ideals and with - ability to do something useful, to find joy in the doing, to be able to see, to hear and to feel the beauties in. the world about him. This of course cannot be realized to the fullest without the co operation of the home and the school, neither alone can carry fhe burden, but both together can master the task. - It is not necessary te mention the opportunity offered here for just such development. Much chance is had for selecting early in the four years course some vocational subjects and facilities are offered for much actual and practical work. Again, those preparing for colleges or normal schools will find the curriculum easily adapted to their demands,. In making the course of study the student was kept in view rather than séhool machinery. A course of study may be had by calling for it at Mr. Taylor’s office in the Mier bank or at the office of the superintendent of schools, and further explanation will be freely given. It is advised that pupils choose their life’s work early and select their work in High school accordingly. Itisa waste to. work aimlessly in High school duties. & : :

- Again to encourage outside work credits will be offered to ambitious students who do some. work outside of school which may be under supervision of some member of the faculty. For example one-fourth credit will be offered in music, taken under a competent instructor who will follow certain, observed rules. The method together with other ways for earning credits will be published in this column later. Here, again we must ask for the cooperation of the parents in this new field. .

1t is expected that the influence of this school will reach out to. the surrounding community as it has formerly, and that those who wish to take advantage of high school training will avail of the opportunities offered here. The trustees are anxious also to make it possible for all the surrounding corporation to send their graduates to Ligonier. To do this the tuition will be equivalent to the percapita cost in the high school of your own corporation. This places no hardship upon any individual or

corporation, and makes it possible for the individual child to choose the high school most convenient for him where he feels he will derive the greatest advantages. < ’ - Superintendent

Working is Shot

Benjamin F. Working, who formerly resided about three miles north of Ligonier and is well known in this city was shot, probably fatally Wednesday morning six miles northwest of Goshen while engaged in a fight with Clyde Neteser. The shooting was done by Mrs: Neterer and the wound is in the abdomen. °°

1t seems that Working permitted his cattle to run at large and a cow strayed on the Neterer place and was locked up. When Working came for the animal the fight ensued and two shots fired, one taking effect. The Neterers are under arrest and Working is in the care of a physician. '

Chautauqua Bills Paid

At a meeting Wednesday night the committee having in charge chautauqua affairs arranged to pay all bills. It was found that the guarantors who paid $4 will have a rebate of $1.23. No plans were made for a chautauqua next year. 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, h#ve out" rivaled all other stock car “performance. In speed, in hill climbing, .in quick acceleration and endurance, they have done what was never done before.
