Hanly j issued commissions to men elected, brought Marshal’s plurality up to 14,809. ' “Sapho” was witnessed at the Audi-1 torium Friday night by a fair sized j audience. Two or three of the com-, pany were fairly good, Maxine Miles displaying some talent* as Fanny Le Grand, though not a very attractive woman for that particular cast. The hues are now about the only things which suggests Daudet’s famous French novel.The city of Mishawaka seems to be confronted with the serious problem of obtaining pure water supply. At the present time the city supplyJs taken from the river. A great deal of money has been spent by the city and by private concerns in the search of water, but no depth has been reached where a sufficient supply of water may be obtained. This is singu larly unfortunate, too, since an abundant supply of pure water is obtainable at South Bend and points adjacent to Mishawaka. ' How to Treat - a Sprain.

Some newspapers are so indiscreet as to be sore on the Prohibitionists because they did not turn in and elect Watson governor on the pretext of temperance reform as embodied in the county option law. Since the Prohibitionists had up a State ticket which represented constitutional prohibition—a proposition repudiated at the special session of the legislature by the senate—they are the ones to become sore, if anybody, because the Republicans failed to help elect their ticket, or to promote constitutional prohibition when the opportunity presented itself. The Dayton (Ohio) Herald is much exercised over the frequent election of Democrats in that “Republican stronghold.” and it earnestly exhorts Republicans to get together and find out what is the trouble with their party. The Herald apparently fails to take notice of the signs of the times. There-is a spirit of Independence among tlie.voters which easily 'explains these political anomalies. When New York city votes for Taft and Missouri elects Hadley, while Ohio, Indiana and Minnesota take a president from one party and a governor from another, and even the Solid South is wabbling, talk about Democratic or Republican “strongholds” has lost most of its meaning. There are now very few communities in which the independent voter lias not the balance of power.—South Bend Times. • . President Roosevelt’s attempt to show that lie, and not Mr. Samuel Gompers, was the power with the labor organizations, by inviting the leaders of the American Federation of Labor to a White House conference yesterday, and ignoring its president, Mr. Gompers, was a dismal failure. The leaders of the American Federation of - Labor administered- t-iie proper rebuke by declining the Invitation., The Central Labor Union of Washington sent a telegram to Samuel Gompers, president of .the American Federation of Labor at Denver, congratulating him on the fact that he was not invited to the White House labor conference and dinner on Dec. 17.

Tins Chicago Tribune recently contained an article saying that -according to a report made to Mayor Busse by Engineer Arnold- and Auditor Yoohg the electrical street lighting system owned by the city of Chicago is practical ly a linancial failure as now operated. The report indicates that the city would save from $200,000 to $300,000 a year by abandoning the city steam plants for the manufacture of electricity and purchase the current from the drainage canal board which uses water power. It would seem that the larger the city owning and operating municipal plants the more difficult ibis to make them pay running expenses.. In these-days of sharp competition where all kinds of business needs the most careful attention it requires the best business judgment in handling' municipal plants with profit to the people. Because of the frequent changes of management by the ordinary political machinery Lhe business suffers as a consequence—the larger the town and city, the greater is this a predominating force. 0 - " NO CAUSE FOR ALARM. Milford Mail. The report was current with some on our streets that if the Democrats secured a majority in the legislature that the county local option jaw would be repealed' and that saloons would again be granted license. To relieve persons of these we will first say that the county local option law was not placed upon the statute books by Republicans alone, neither could it have been. There were six Democrats voted for the measure which made it a law therefore the local option law was not the result of either party. Now to relieve the minds of those who fear that the law may be repealed we will say first that the governor will never recommend its repeal, and should he do so, if the Republican party would vote together in the senate it could never be repealed. Should the Democrats have a desire to repeal the local option law they must first have a majority in both houses, and this they have not. They have a majority in the house but not in the senate, and this was caused by seventeen hold over Republicans. To repeal this law It must pass both houses by a majority vote, and this cannot be accomplished unless some of the Republicans vote with the Democrats, providing it is the Democrats who want it repealed. Some may ask how can the Democrats elect a United States senator without a majority in both houses? It is done by assembling the two houses jointly which when together gives the Democrats a majority of five, but bills or. repeal laws cannot be voted upon in that way, the bill must pass each house with a majority for or against it and cannot be brought up for a joint passage. Democrats and Republicans are only people alike, and it cannot be considered that either will favor an unjust measure nrorder that the dignity of their party ma.y hp prpaerved, therefore -have no fear thatthe local option law- will be repealed. MARSHALL’S POLITICAL CREED. South Bend Times. RijjTiiHNiNG tohis home at Columbia City the night before election, at the -close of his strenuous canvass, Thos. R. Marshall received from his fellowcitizens a non-partisan welcome that must, in the gratification afforded, have been' scarcely inferior to the knowledge of his election on the day following. In acknowledging the compliment of this ovation, Mr. Marshall gave evidence of a nobility of nature, a broadness of mind, an integrity of character, and a patriotism of purpose which prove that tt*e people of Indiana made no mistake in elevating him to the office oUstate executive. Referring to his canvass, lie said: “I went out to preach the gospel of the Democratic principles. I come home tonight as a true Democrat, with clean hands and clean lips. I have uttered no nnkind word agawwtany man, either Democrat or Republican, publicly or privately. “I have refused to make myself a publie tool to any living person. I have held that no man given to throwing dirt was worthy to hold the office once held by Williams, Matthews, Morton and Hehdricks. I have gone from you to fight the fight of the Democratic party, and I have fought !bg6od fight. I have kept the faith and'have come home to Whitley county tonight to receive the commendation of my friends.” Expressing confidence in his election, he declared that it should not be considered as a personal or partisan triumph, but a decision of the people

of in favor of the best lnterrflMMhe state. lie had never claimed that lie was right and had never asserted that his opponents were wrong. He had simply declared the truth as he viewed it, and it was for the people to decide. Personal considerations should be Ignored. “If you think Tom Marshall will give you an honest service, then show it in your ballot tomorrow.- If you think lie can not give a good, clean, honest administration, then beat Tom Marshall tomorrow. h Continuing, he said: “My friends. xqu_owejn,g. .nothing,,. If T should live for a century in your midst—if I should put in my life seeking to show my appreciation by devotion, my life would be too short to show it. , I am your debtor and you owe me nothing; but you owe to Indiana and to America something of a debt that tomorrow you must pay. If I am right and the principles for which I stand are right, then you owe it to your children and your children’s children to vote the dictates of your conscience. “If 1 am wrong and the principles for which I stand are wrong, then you owe it to the little ones of Indiana to vote against me. “You have done great things for me. You have made me all I am. I have an ambition to be your governor —not in the sense of being your master, but of serving the people well. “The most priceless heritage that you can hand down from generation to generation is that of American manhood and womanhood.” These are noble sentiments. They are not only the utterances of the heart as “when a man talketh -with lys friend,” but they enunciate sound doctrine of citizenship. They are words of truth unci soberness spoken in the heat of controversy. They may well be termed a political creed, for they embody the eternal truths of righteousness applied to the duties and responsibilities of citizens in both private and public capacity. In more persorial form, they set forth the thought of the immortal Lincoln—- “ Malice towards none, charity for all, and firmness for the right as God sees the right.” These high ideals as a candidate are an earnest of what Thomas R. Marshall may be expected to perform as governor. Clear-headed, clean-handed, conscientious and upright, he will devote himself solely to serving the interests of all the people of the state. If, therefore, in his administration Tom Marshall shall prove true to his creed; if his acts shall sustain his utterances, not only on this occasion, but in other instances during the campaign, and, still more, in previous years when lie has “spoken from the heart,” then Tom Marshall will rank among the noblest governors of Indiana. But he will need to fortify his soul against the wiles of the politician and steel his heart against the clamor of the office-seeking crowd, whose ideals are precisely opposite to his, and who, in the words of George Willitfm .Curtis, are just at present “very hungry, and, inferentially, very thirsty.” How to Cure a Cold. Be as careful as you can you will occasionally take cold, and when you do, get a medicine of known reliability, one that has an established reputalion and that is certain to effect a quick cure. Such a medicine is Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It has gained a world wide reputation by its remarkable cures of this most common ailment, andean always be depended upon. It acts on nature’s plan, relieves the lungs, aids expectoration, opens the secretions and aids nature in restoring the system to a healthy condition. During the many years in which it has been in general use we have yet to learn of a single case of cold or attack of the grip having resulted in pneumonia when this remedy was used, which shows conclusively that it is a certain preventive of that dangerous disease. Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy contains no opium or other narotic and may be given as confidently to a baby as to an adult. For sale by J. S. Walters. Leases Sentinel. Henry A.

Mr. Jqhn White, of 38 Highland Ave., Houlton. Maine, says: “Have been troubled a cougji 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.
