The first indication that there is soon to be an election under the new county option law in Elkhart county is the posting of bills by the brewers setting forth many dire effects on business where the option laws have made counties dry, etc. While it is rather early to open such a campaign, it will be quite interesting to note the tone of the county Republican press on-the subject. . “News” that misleads, deceives and" betrays is no newsat all. It is simply the bubbling over of an audaciously mendacious meddler who utterly disregards the limitations of legitimate newspaper ethics and methods, and thus brings reproach upon a profession that ought to be above all such littleness. But, then', it has long been an established fact that blood can not be squeezed out of a turnip and that a whistle can not be constructed out of a pig’s tail.—South Bend Times. newspapers to fill their columns with political news during a national campaign', it “is nevertheless conceded to be a most disagreeable task and the average editor, and managers of newspapers generally, are glad when the contest ends, notwithstanding there are rejoicings on the part of the victorious and many disappointments for the defeated.

Last winter I tried many advertised remedies, but the cough continued until I bought a 50c. bottle of Dr. King’s New Discovery; before that was half gone, the cough was all gone. This winter the same happy result has followed; a few doses once more banished the annual cough. I aih now convinced that Dr. King’s New Discovery is the best of all cough and lung remedies.” Sold tinder guaranty at J. S. Walters’ drug store. 50c and SI.OO.

The only contemptible thing which occurred during the campaign here, worth mentioning, was by somebody who circulated the story on Thursday from' Nappanee that the Marshall : meeting had been called off. The : Democrats believe it to have been i started for the purpose of detracting from the crowd which would show up i here on Friday. The News wascalled j by the firemen Enquirer to know the | truth of the story which had been telephoned to Bremen. Though it was about 3 o'clock on Thursday aft- [ ernoon as soon as the local Democrats Were informed about the matter they proceeded to head the story off by using tlie telephone to various parts of the country. The crowd did not se’em to have been any ways lessened by the story-, which was even believed by some people in Nappanee. As previously advertised the News will give the election returns on this Tuesday night at the Theatorium, (the paper going-to press at the regular time of publication.) These bulletins will be given the public free of charge instead of holding the publication of the paper over to get them into print. Telephone service has been installed at the Theatorium by the News, also, and all news sent in from the county and immediate precincts will be free and may be sent direct to the Theatorium for the benefit of the public. The telegraph service will be from the National Press and reliable so far as such matters can be obtained. The Theatorium has been employed by-the News to throw these bulletins onto the screen that everybody may have an opportunity to read them from time to time. Remember that there is no admission fee to be charged. THE HYPOCRISY OF THE ADVANCE. The Nappanee Advance made several assertions by insinuation and innuendo last week in reference to the editor of the News which would seem to call for some attention in these columns. The indirect aspersions were simply lying insinuations and the Advance editor knew he was taking a long chance when he wrote them. If it were not for the hypocritical pretensions of the Advance in reference to personal journalism in Nappanee, the News would take no notice of the matter, since the News editor is willing that the community shall be the judge of his citizenship; as nearly twenty-one years ought to be sufficient time in which to identify and judge a man so far as the rights of the public extend. The egotistical editor of the Advance has not been in the world much longer than that and not in Nappanee but a little over one year and the community has had little time to find the demerits of this perfect (?) specimen of a newspaper man. However, in this short time people have learned some things about his newspaper work while he has been trying to set the world on fire with his pencil. The imagination of the Advance editor has run amuck many times in the short time he has been in Nappanee. He had been here but a few weeks until it was the common talk that he was trying to pick up a personal newspaper quarrel with the News. *€ . ■* "" lTe"staffed in to criticize everybody and everything, even the ladies’ sewing societies did not escape his egotism, so great was his desire to become a big fish in a small pond. Here is a sample, from the Advance of July 3d, 1907: it is very evident to a newcomer that Nappanee has had too many knockers who knocked only for selfish purposes. Strange to relate there have been numbered among these knockers men who have been considered out of town as Nappanee’s most substantial class. It is now time for that to stop. He continued to “slam” everybody who had at some time or another disagreed with the elique which surloundedTiTm. They made him believe he had a great mission here in Nappanee, and naturally, with a beginner, lie swelled with importance. Hewent after the temperance people, "but soon began to hedge when he discovered his paper up against a hard proposition. He told the town authorities what they ought to do; condemned the brick that they were putting into Hie pavement; questioned' the safety of the Auditorium: pointed out the liability of the town in a possible damage suit; and grilled the business men who did not favor a railway project; and a few other things too numerou s

to mention. Then wrote this truism, of himself: An ego-burdened brain combined with the desire UK wreck vengeance makes an “undesirable citizen” of the worst class. What the Advance editor thinks of the grammatical errors in the construction of sentences in the News is of very little consequence to its readers, periiaps. The News editor never posed as a literary genius like the editor of the Advance. The News’ sentences get there all the same. However, if the News was as notoriously rotten for errors and the abomination of mechanical construction as the Advance is, it would never criticize a newspaper contemporary. The Advance wound, up its personal editorial on the News editor with the same hypocritical resolve that it had made on other occasions, and it probably amounts to as much. BANK GUARANTY. Indianapolis News.’ One of the most common arguments against the mutual guaranty proposition is that by making well managed banks liable for the deposits—not all debts, but’ simply deposits—of badly managed ones, it would tend to encourage recklessness -and dishonesty in bank management. If this were true it would be a good argument against the guaranty proposition. But it is mere assumption and there is no evidence that it is true. The mutual debt guaranty principal prevailed in the old State Bank of Indiana, chartered in 1834. This was one of the best banking systems ever known in this ..country. Hugh McCulloch, managing director of the Ft. 'St Wayne branch for twenty-five years and afterward Controller of the Currency and Secretary of the Treasury, says:

The stockholders of each branch were liable for the debts of the branch to an amount equal to the par value of their shares, and each branch, although independent in respect of the profits, was liable for the debts of every other branch. This responsibility of the branches for the debts of the respective branches created a general vigilance which was productive of excellent results. No branch could make a wide departure from the line of prevalent banking (the other branches being responsible for its debts) without being subjected to a rigid overhauling and incurring the .risk of being closed.—McCulloch’s “Men and Measures of Half a Century”, p. 118. Thus Mr. McCulloch bears witness from long experience that the mutual guaranty of debts by one another made all the branches more careful and “created a general vigilance which was productive of excellent results”. Until those who have put forward the above argument against the guaranty system can cite some proof of its soundness it must be taken as mere assumption. Mr. McCulloch’s testimony is conclusive against it. THE BREWERS.” Indianapolis News. We suggest that Governor Hanly, who is persistently charging that Mr. Marshall is owned by the brewers, consider the case of the great Mulhall, the agent of the Republican national congressional committee, and also of the National Association of Manufacturers. One of the men who was hired by Mulhall. to work for the National Association of Manufacturers, said .-that the man came cif IndianafidliT early in December, his purpose being to work' for the nomination of Mr. Watson as the Republican candidate for Governor, his special desire being that Mr. Taylor, of this city, be not and this because of a speech made by him that was supposed to-be “heretical” on the labor question. This has not been denied by Mulhall nor by any one in his behalf. So we suppose it is true. But he represented During one. of his visits to this city he called on Joseph C. Shaf, president of the American Brewing Company. This was after the nomination of Watson, and prior toJthe call of the special session of the Legislature Concerning this. Mr. Schaf says: Mnihall was brought to my office by a well-known Republican who is a good was introduced he handed me a card of the Republican national congressional committee bearing his name. Mulhall said he came to assure me that Congressmen Watson, Senator Hemenway and Speaker Cannon were all right toward the brewers. I told him I knew that, but that Watson was running on the wrong platform. He said: “Well, Hemenway is all rigljt, isn’t he?” I told him: “Yes, you bet your life.”" Then he asked me if Speaker Cannon was not all right. I told him Cannon was too far from home for us, and that we were

Night and Day THERE IS DIFFERENCE Our Work and Other Work

bhly~mEerested in Indiana. Then Mulhall asked me if we could meet and have a conference witli Watson. I told him we would not. That same afternoon I went to Chicago with some of the-other local brewers to attend a meeting of the State Brewers’ Association. The next morning when I earhe down to the lobby of the Auditorium Annex the first man I-met was Mulhall. He had followed us to Qhlcago. He again asked for a conference and wanted to have an opportunltv to.ADD.eai- before, and address them. He asked me if I would introduce him to some of them and I told him I would not. Then he asked me if I would go upstairs and have a talk with Senator Hemenway and I refused this request also; Here, then, we have the story of a man who professed to be acting for Mr. Watson, and that he did what he could to line up the brewers' for Watson is proved by the testimony of Mr. .Scliaf, This chapter in the history of

, * Printing is the art of making impressions on paper from types. There is as much difference in the quality of printing as there is in the applied colors of a 1500 oil painting and aSO cent chromo. We do not send out “any old thing” as good enough, but every job must be right. A good job of printing is worth several times as much to the man or firm who gets it as is the poor, slipshod half printed job. There is a difference in results between the “cheap job” and a job that’s cheap. A good job of printing is always the cheapest. Our customers are frank to say that they never get the same class of work elsewhere as they do here. Thirty years studious application to the art of applying types and ink to paper tells us the reason. The News Job Department.

our local politics is one that ought not to be forgotten. There was no unwillingness to accept the support of the brewers on the part of Mr. Mulhall, who claimed to be acting in the Interests of Mr. Watson—on the contrary there was an earnest desire for it, a desire that may almost be said to have been a longing.
