The Ligonier Leader makes the following excellent and timely suggestion. Think of the rural mail carriers during cold weather and help them when you can. Some people have little regarl for the carriers' comfort, as they dump their letters and the pennies to pay the postage in the metal boxes and expect the cairiers to claw out the contents. This necessitates the removal of gloves and frozen fingers are the result. Better buy stamps and put them on the letters you mail. Mrs. Austin's Cereals have the largest sale of any similar goods. Try them and you will understand why. 71t24 13t4

CENTER TOWNSHIP

Republicans Select Committeemen and Delegates. In spite of the cold and storm a large number of Center township republicans assembled'in the offices of F. W. Boss on Michigan St. Saturday afternoon pursuant to the call of the chairman and a mighty good time was had. If the meeting is any criterion of what is to come the approaching campaign is to be harmonious, enthusiastic and effective. Chairman II. II. Bonham presided and R. B. Oglesbee was secretary. The representatives of the several precincts separated, each being represented except number seven, which met at Inwood at the same time, and after the elections were reported the township committee was found to be composed ol the following members and assistants: Xo. 1 Frank Ray, Charles Ileims. No. 2 II. II. Bonham, M. W. Simons. No. 3 W. M. Kendall, Richard Tea. No. 4 David Vanvactor, Joseph Black. No. 5 Walter Miller, John J. Stalev. No. 6 F. M. McCrory, Elmer Wilson. This work being completed the election of delegates followed, resulting in the choice of J. Frank Ray, Dr. Aspinall and Johu J. Staley; Richard Tea, F. M. McCrory and J. M. Gibson were selected as alternates. These will attend the district convention at South Bend next Wednesday to elect a district chairman. The county committee will meet in this city next Monday to complete the organization. Foreshadowing. Sunshine on groundhog day foreshadows six weeks of cold weather. The return of the bluebird, spring and foam on your sauer kraut barrel, that it is working. So likewise a swarm- of hungry democratic candidates foreshadows an election . Although the election is nearly a year in the shadow the candidates are as thick as rishworras after rain. For judge the present incumbent would not step aside if the nomination were to swallow him up even though he has held it down for two terms,but the ring has decree! otherwise. They are tired of a judge who decides the case before the evidence is in and then there are a couple who have sons and daughters who would like to practice up on short hand a little, at old Marshall's expense as well as "son John" to practice so much. Then too the actions of Elijah Cornwall Martindale foreshadows an awful desire and as his partner is county dictator Elijah C. is as hopeful as a bull frog with a piece of red flannel dangling in front of him. Elijah has his ear to the ground for the strange noises his candidacy creates but dreamy thoughts of the "high seat in front" make him reckless enough that he would almost like "Elijah of old" risk being caught up a little piece at any rate in a chariot with or without fire. Any old way so he gets up. The Corbin crowd is too small, and the farmer contingent are to be con sidered only when it comes time to vote and Frank Brooke for clerk will have a walkawav. Wm. O'Keefe in his salutatary last week made his bid for re-election by telling the dear public that he would not like his predecessor maka all he could and keep all he make, but would work for the salary and turn into the treasury ail interest on depossts and fees on collections, &c, &c. All of which sounds pretty good on paper. Although Auditor Miller declared he would not be a candidate for reelection some friend with 'inflooence' has over persuaded him and he has shield his castor. However Mr. Mil ler will have opposition that opposes in the gentleman from Walnut who was promised by the men who done the figuring that if he would permit himself to be figured out and Mr. liar ley in the close contest for recorder in other words step aside for two years, keeping his paddle out, something would sure drop on it then. Mr. Singrey asks now that they keep faith and drop him Mr. Miller's job. Mr. narley of course is safe to succeed himself and the present sheriff thinks himself big enough for the place lor two years longer. The surveyor thinks himself smart enough for any place. "The countv board" is not figuring this year. He is safe for two years yet, but Uncle Fred Seider says fat men look well in big chairs anyplace; although the pay is only $300 per year he might as well be sacrificed as anybody. Like Elijah he is reckless. Mr. Snyder from the third district thinks he will have no opposition as he has always been an active, wide awke and eminently reliable officer. We must not forget the county assessor but presume "the handy man" will succeed himself. Something in the present conditions foreshadows some things on whinh we will enlighten you later. In the meantime keep following your nose.

Business Men in Politics. The present is particularly the time

when business men should take inter est in affairs' affecting the na tion, the state, the county, and even in the citv. Moral issues are not especially at the front, but questions of business and business management in local and state affairs, and questions affecting the expansion of business and the enlargement of industry affecting the nation's welfare, will be prominent in all discussions and in all adopted policies. For this reason men should enter politics for the good of politics. Hard-headed, substantial men of affairs should be ready to lend their services to the public when they are demanded. The new members of congress should be men of practical business sense, and so far as possible they should be men who have had a hand in large affairs. The call for men to take a part in the discussion of affairs both in national and state legislatures is for those men whose judgement has been ripened by expe rience, whose knowledge of affairs of the world has been enlarged by contact with the world in its business affairs, whose sagacity is born of practice, and whose judgment is based upon knowledge of the laws of trade and the tendencies of finance. The discussion in congress during this session will involve some of the most important issues which have to do with business prosperity and en largement. The banking question is one of the live issues upon which the concentrated wisdom of congress and the concentrated wisdom of public opinion outside of congress should unite, and the results of wnich would be the elaboration of a financial scheme which would protect the public from the dangers lurking from individual selfishness.in laxity ot government control and in the rapacity of those who would wreck finance for personal profit. In our state affairs the history of the past four years should be an earnest of the policies which should be pursued in the future. That wise economy which creates debt only in the development of larger resources. and which pays those debts as rapidly as reasonable conditions and judicious management will permit, should be followed in its full until the state debt of Indiana has been so reduced that it is not a burden upon the present and will not be a burden upon the future. In local affairs, both city and county, there is equal need of business sagacity, and the advice of capable business men in positions of influence and affectiveness. While it may cost something to serve the public in an efficient capacity, those men who by sucess in life have enabled themselves to live somewhat independent of their daily toil should be willing to lend their time and judgment in behalf of better government and more economic administration of local affairs. The old appeal for the educated man in politics is much less forceful today than the appeal for sound, practical, hard-headed business sense. Elkhart Review. The Populist Democrat. He was long and lanky. His whiskers were fringed and hishair was cut a la democratic. His clothing was of a style which can only be found on people who prefer antique to modern styles, and his face bore indications of having been in close communion with saloon politics. "I'm a demikrat," he said, " 'en I'm fur free silvur." I don't want eny new-fangled politics in mine. Yu fellars what want mills en' faktorys ken hav' 'em, but what use ar' they 'cept to make a f u raskils rich. Did ye ever hear ov a micanick gettin rich?" "But what would the country do without its industries?" was asked. "Gi v us free silver 'en you wont want industrys. What the country needs is more munny. Suppose evry body had munny, who wud want to work?" "But we must live, we must have clothing and comforts. Where would they come from?" "That's all yu fellers think of" said the ideal democrat. "Ware blue jeans or buy yur does in Urope. Ther's plenty uv chepe labor there. Giv' us free trade 'long with free silvur. That's what we want." . - "But, my friend, how about the poor people here? They must have work or they cannot live." "Humph! that 's all you kno', " was the answer. "If we hed free silvur wudn'tthahav'munny? Doyu take me ferakussed fate?" Elkhart Truth. Opposed to Asset Currency. Hon. Charles G. Dawes, former controller of the currency, is , outspoken in opposition to what is called asset currency, or an issue of bank notes based on assets. In an address ' delivered at Eligin, 111., Tuesday evening, he said this was no time to indulge in radical currency experiments. We do not want an asset currency that will help us into a panic when we are out of one," hi said, "but an emergency circulation which will help us out of a panic when we are in one. I) Mr. Dawes has expressed si milarsenii ments on other occasions and shovs strong convictions on the subject.

Bosworth's Dry Goods Store

SPECIAL NOTICE Commencing March 1, 1902, we shall discontinue the use of all premium schemes in our business For the past two years wo have given premiums to our customers and have tried to please all of our trade. In this we have only partly succeeded for the reason that many customers have the impression that the value of the premium is added to the price of the goods. Others believe that better qualities could be given for the same price without the premiums. Many customers fail to receive their coupons at time of purchase, and blame the management for this. All in all, premium schemes of any kind are not the best for the store or the customers. What people are interested in today when they visit a store is the best quality for the smallest price, rather that the article at a long price with something thrown in. In discontinuing premium schemes in our business we shall endeavor to advance the qualities of the goods for the same reasonable prices that this store is noted for. We shall redeem all outstanding coupons and kindly request you to present them as soon as convenient.
