Gov. Goodrich and his republican friends could not employ language strong enough to condemn government ownership of railways but they are very anxious to have Indiana buy a coal mine. : o

It is not surprising that Senator Munton has lost- interest in Noble ccunty “republican politics and Tresigned the chairmanship of the c¢ounty committee. He was repudiated by his party in Noble county when he sought reelection to the state senate and his prospeets of sonie time succecding Congressman Fairfield have grown very slim.. The party interests in Noble county have been entrusted {0 young heads. . - ’

Gov. Goodrich would legalize an .illegal transaction by Jegislation. The supreme court of Indiana has held that the action of the state tax board in making horizontal increases in assessment is unconstitutional.. The governor’s remedy is in an amendment to the constitution.. Should the legislature pass the legalizing act before it and some tax payer takes it to the supreme court the result will be a decper muddle than the state now finds itself in. : ;

- Women will be particularly interested in the proclamation by the republican governor of Vermont, who recently conferred - with Senator Harding. The state executive - refuses to call a special session of his legislature in order to ratify suffrage, indirectly criticises the: deeision of the United States supremec court - upholding prohibition and denounces the manner in which both the 17th and 18th amendments were passed. The Goshen Democrat thinks Grand [Exalted Fixer - Will Hays should be rushed to Vermont at once.

Franklin D. Roosevelt, replying at his home to the charge of Senator Harding that President Wilson had forced the democratic presidential and wvice presidential nominee to accept itis view that the League of Nations, should become the dominant campaign issue, deelared he was “quite willing as I know Gov. Cox is, to let <the American people decide.” In his reply Gov. Cox says his campaign will be dedicated to the task of “bringing peac® with honor, of re-adjusting the affairs of civilization and of creating a new day out of which we will make the best of the lessons of the past.” . Ate Pretty Pills and Died. Creeping downstairs before her mother .arose, little Mildred Fee, a three year old Auburn girl, ate some pink pills from a bottle which was on the table and two hours later died from the effects of strychnine, which was contained in them. Monday evening when the family purchased the pills the little girl begged to eat one of them. Tuesday morning she remembered the pink pills and ate nearly half of them in the bottle. When her mother arose she said, “Mamma, 1 ate some of those pretty pills.” Soon afterwards she was taken with convulsions and died. b LRGN

Town Is Hampered.

Millersburg corporation desired to purchase a fire engine to protect the property of citizens. There was no local objections, but the state tax board hampered the movement and the Grit says just when the people of the town were congratulating themselves on their success in spending their own money the state board

again stepped in and now the fight must be made over. In the meantinie the town might burn up.- o

An old coopershop which had stood near the Hawks Furniture factory in Goshen for more than 40 years burned Sunday night. The fire is supposed to be the work of an incindirary and Louis Blender, who served a term for arson, is under bond to answer the charge. The property belonged to Hawks Brothers. o : : Failed to Get House. - ; - Oscar Flowers, who expected to move his family to South Bend, has abandoned the idea.

0N STATE CONTROL méonu Former kOppnmon to Public Ownership in Demand for Purchase of Coal Mines. CONVICT LABOR IS FEARED

~ Indianapolls, Ind.—Governor Goodrich’s sudden advocacy of a state owned and opersted coal mine, which constitutes & complete reversal of his previous stand on the guestion of government. ownership, promises to develop the paramount issue in the coming “special session of the legislature. ‘His pronouncement in favor

of the acquisition by the state of & mine came as adistincet surprise, even to people who recall speeches in which he bitterly denounced government ownership. On October 14, 1919, Governor Goodrich, in addressing the Grain Dealers’ National Association at St Louis, bitterly arraigned radical labor and the public ownership of utilities. “Edgland Is now grappling with the labor organizations of the empire,” he sald. “The railroad strike has just ended but the demand for the nationalization of her mines, means of communication and transportation is still insistent.” :

Further on he lamented the “severo restrictions applied to our transportation companies” which “stified the development of our railroads and led naturally to the break down just before we entered the world war.” Continuing, he said: “The American people must pay for that break down in the billions of dollars irretrievably lost and in the prodigious inefficiency and failure of government operation. It is not too great a price to pay, if it rids us forever of the dangers of government ownership and operstion.” : ;

“These radicals,” he continued, after flaying the labor leaders, “would nationalize railroads and coal mines first and then all the other instruments of production. ®* * ® They would substitute for private owner ship and individual initiative communal ownership snd operation -and thus reduce man to a dull instrument of production and dry up the impuises of his ambition.” L .

Some of the opponents of the scheme fear that Governor Goodrich would imsist on working the state owned mine with convict labor, and point out that prisoners were used by the Globe Mining Company in opening & pit in Pike county a little more than a year ago. The fact that the officers of the company were Plerre F. Goodrich, the governor's son; J. T. Moorman and E. J. Robison, his

close political confidantes, has given rise to a suspicion that men from the penal farm and the Jeffersonville reformatory might be employed. The governor became highly indignant when some of the opponents of the measure referred to his proposal as “socialistic” and denied that he kad changed his mind regarding government ownership and operation. He also became incensed over the report that convict labor might be employed in the industry, but because he has never satisfactorily explaimed the use of prisoners in a mine owned by his son there is a doubt, especially among labor leaders, as to the real purposes he has in view. :

WATSON SEEKS WOOOD SCANDAL

Hopes to Hold Club Over Generals Supporters to Force Their Support in Re-election Campaign

Indianapolis, Ind.—Senator James E. Watson bhas held two important conferences in Indianapolis within the last few days, both bearing an important relation to his future political course. Omne had to deal with the removal of Ora J. Davies of Kokomo, Republican candidate for state treasurer, from the ticket, and the other was in regard to the campaign expenditures of Maj.-Gen. Leonard wood' . £ = Watson handed Davies the nomina tion through a sefies of deals and still champions him, despite the expose which revealed that he had been found short im his accounts while treasurer of Howard county. Davies, it is said, proved an important link in the Watson organization during the primary campaign and aided materially in furthering the Harding cause by acting as a lieutenant for the senator. For that reason Watson is loth to drop him from the ticket. In the conference some of the leaders are said to have requested Watson to order Davies out of the campaign, but this he refused to do, ae cording' to authentic réports.

In the second conference the senator sought to gaia some additional facts about the campaign expenditures of Gemeral Wood. According to information which leaked out of the parley Senator Watson hopes to unearth some startling details which amight involve prgminent Indianians and will hold this over their heads as a club with which to force the support of the Wood organization for his candidacy for re-election. The senator is reported to have intimated that he would take the information he is gathering before the senatorial investigating body in Washington {if the Wood people persist in attacking him-for his alleged betrayal of the general in Chicago. : ~ e Sale === . g il ¥ mm TI7» 9@ Im ﬁ‘“ AT .l!f - B & g £

OHE FEELSTWENTY ~ YEARS YOUNGER NOW hluh(‘c-e:-;l« w.-iém’ dmprovement.. Since She Began | Taking Tanlac

“] have been wanting to tell you for some time of the good Tanlac has done me: I just know it's the finest medicine in the world and 1| want every one in Evansville and everywhere else to know what it has done for me,” said Mrs. Minnie Hackmeister, 1213 East Virginia street, Evansville, Ind., one of the best known and most highly esteemed women in in that whole section. o

. “About two years ago,” she continued, "1 had a severe attack of the ‘filu’ which left me in a badly run down weakened condition. 1 also had, suffered with reheumatism for several years, and after I had the ‘fiu’ I never knew what a well day was until 1 furtod taking Tanlac. For a whole 'year | never had one good night's sleep, always got up in the mornings with a bitter taste in my mouth ndi never enjoyed my meals. The rheamatism finally got s 0 bad I had to help myself around the room with the aid of a chair and was unable to do any of my housework at all. 1 often became dizzy and almost faint, 1 was easy to take cold and did not dare go out of the house, and 1 kept losing weight and getting weaker. i “I began taking Tanlac and in a short. while after my limprovement was so great and so noticeable that my friends wanted to know the cause of it, and I was always glad to tell them it was Tanlac. I-have only taken five botties, but I am now a well woman. My appetite is good, everything I eat agrees,with me, I slcep like a child and always get up feeling greatly rested. Why, when I had taken only three bottles I ate a hearty meal of boiled pork and turnips, and if 1 had done this before I started taking Tanlac I believe it-would have killed me, but it did not hurt me a ‘particle. That queer, peculiar feeling and those dizzy, fainty spells are ali igone, and 1 have regained my lost weight and strength so I can not only ‘do my owh washing and ironing, but it is no trouble for me to clean-up and ilook after my five room cottage. I feel at least” twenty years younger than I did before taking Tanlac, and 1 advise others who may be sguffering as I was to take it, for I know it will help them.” i o Tanlac is sold in Ligonier by 8. J. Williams and by the leading druggist in every town. / : adv
