NO BACKWARD STEP

theutd ths Republicans of Indiana Take This Year. IMPORTANT QUESTION INVOLVED Is Whether or Not the State Shall Suffer Prestige - in National Affairs Not Only the Senatorshlp but the Future of Republicanism In Indiana Involved In the Election of November 4th. The prestige of Indiana in the greatest of the world's legislative bodies the United States senate is involved In the election of members of the legislature on November 4th. This In Itself is sufficient reason why the Republicans of Indiana should do their whole duty. Not only is the re-electica of Senator Fairbanks involved, but the reapportionment of the state for legislative purposes. Should Democratic leadership secure control of the Indiana legislature, It would beyond question proceed to the enactment of such a gerrymander as that under which Senator Turpie was elected In 1899, when, with a Republican majority of more than 10,000 in the state, a Democratic senator was sent to represent Indiana in the United States senate. In all her history Indiana has had no more faithful or useful representative in the upper branch of the national legislature than Senator Charles W. Fairbanks. Cautious but not cowardly, conservative but yet in touch and in sympathy with the most progressive political thought of the period, industrious, conscientious, thoughtful and forcible, he has impressed himself upon the great body in which he has served his state so well, as cne of the leaders among American publicists. Few men in American public life have risen to substantial national prominence within a period so brief. In 1897 Senator Fairbanks was elected senator the first public office he ever held. The year 1902 finds him in the fore-front among the leaders of that great body of law-makers, his national reputation as a statesman reflecting credit upon the commonwealth of Indiana throughout the Union. Senator Fairbanks came into the re sponsibllities attendant upon a seat In the greatest legislative body in the world, at a time when the country stood upon the threshhold of a new era in its affairs an era In which the country has not only attained a prosperity unexampled in the world's history, but in which the American name has attained a new dignity and the American nation a new place In the family of nations. Potent Factor in Legislation. la the momentous developments of the past five years. Senator Fairbanks has been, not a passive spectator, but a potent factor. With the historic administration of, William McKinley lie was intimately . , and conspicuously Identified. President McKinley was a rare Judge of "men. and that no man. even In the president's official family, stood higher in the confidence and esteem of the martyred president than did the senior senator from Indiana, Is significant of the character and ability of Mr. Fairbanks. Alike In temperament, similar in their convictions and their attainments. It Is not surprising that there existed between President McKinley and Senator Fairbanks so strong a. friendship, nor that the president so implicitly relied upon the judgment of his friend. It Is a fact not generally known, even by the friends of Senator Fairbanks, that for weeks preceding the declaration of war against Spain, and during the trying months which ensued before the fall of Santiago, the senior senator from Indiana was almost nightly at the White . use by invitation of the president, to talk over with him the momentous . problems which were arising from day to day. The people cf Indiana will not nesitate to express their confidence in a man whom William McKinley so Implicitly trusted. Indiana Has Fared Well. As a representative of the state at Washington Senator Fairbanks has been faithful and untiring in his activity for its welfare. The local Interests of Indiana have never been more loyally looked after. As an evidence of this efficient activity the results of the first session of the 57th congress, recently closed, may be cited. Never has Indiana fared so well at my single session; and In no slight degree this is due to the great influence exerted by In liana's senior senator In the upper branch of congress. The ballots cast for members of the legislature this year are not primarily rotes for this candidate or that seeking a term in the general assembly. Every such vote, no matter what the motive, must in the nature of things, be a ballot for or against Senator Fairbanks. Despite the declaration in the Indiana platform in favor of popular election of senators, it Is Impossible to say in whose behalf an adverse vote would . count. It might result in the preferment of any one of a dozen com paratively obscure men, but in any event the effect would be a great diminution of the prestige now enjoyed by Indiana In national affairs. Such a backward step will be impossible if. laying aside petty personal considerations, every Republican will do his duty from now up , to and Including Tuesday, November 4th.

Elizabeth Cady Stanton Goes to the Unknown Land Beyond tho Veil BIX OF HEB OHLIDEEN NEAR HEß When the tiolden Card Was BrokenMiss Susan B. Anthony's Talk. of Her Friend. New York, Oct 27. Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton died yesterdayafternoon at the age of 87, after a short illness, at her home In this city. Old age was given as the cause of death. She was conscious almost to the last. The children with Mrs. Stanton when she died were: Mrs. M. F. Lawrence and Mrs. Stanton Blatch, of New York; Henry and Robert L., of New XLXZA2ETXI CADY STAXTOX York, lawyers; Theodore, of Taris, and G. Smith, a real estate broker at Warden Cliffe, Ixng Island. The funeral w be held on Wednesday. MIm Anthony Hears the News. Rochester, N. Y., Oct 27. The news of the death of Elizabeth Cady Stanton fell heavily upon Susan Anthony, who was preparing to attend Mrs. Stanton's birthday anniversary. She said: "Through the early days, when the world was against us, we stood together. Mrs. Stanton was always a courageous woman a leader of thought and new movements. I always called her the philosopher and statesman of our movement She was a most finished writer, and every state paper presented to congress or the state legislatures in the early days was written by Mrs. Stanton. I cannot express myself at all as I feel, I am too crushed to say much, but If she had outlived me she would have found fine words with which to express our friendship." WHEN THEY WEBE HAPPIEST The Venerable Suffragist Talks of Their Campaigns and Triumphs. "What period of your lives gave you the greatest pleasure?" was asked. "When we were digging together. When she forged the thunderbolts and I fired them. The greatest campaign we ever had together was in C9 at the constitutional convention held in Kansas for suffrage and the same year In New York state. In spite of her big family, to whom she was devoted, and the great timount of work she did outside her home, she was one of the finest housekeepers I ever saw. "The last time I saw Mrs. Stanton was in June. She talked about the other side, but had no faith that there was any other world. She always said this was a beautiful world, and she wanted to stay here as long as possible. She believed In the Immutable law in everything, and did not believe In any special providence for herself or any one else." Miss Anthony and Mrs. Stanton campaigned together all over this country. They went to England together in 1SS3. "She went to call an international suffrage convention," said Miss Anthony, "but the English people were afraid of it then. But it was at that time she conceived the idea of the convention which live years later was held in Washington, and later formed into the International Council of Women. We received many attentions on this visit to England, being received by John Fright and other distinguished persons." HIS PßOüBAlItlE RADICAL And He Says That President Roose'velt Is In Entire Agreement with Him. Chicago, Oct 27. A free trade tmlon of the United States with Cuba, Porto Rico, Mexico and Canada against the nations of Europe, as a means of extending the commercial supremacy of. the United States, was advocated by General Jamts II. Wilson, of Wilmington, Del., in a speech before the 'Com mercial club at the Auditorium. General Wilson spoke on the subject "Our Relations with Cuba," but, after advocating free trade with the island, he launched Into the broader theme, in which he declared he shared in the views of President Roosevelt ' Speaking, of Canada he said that free trade should be given to the Do minion only on condition that It extend the American tariff wall against Great Britain. He declared also that the Monroe doctrine applied to Canada as well as the countries of Central and South America, and should England ever make Its government of the col onles oppressive It would be the duty of the United States to interfere. The "Teller" paragraph to the Cuban war resolution which was intended to make stronger the declaration that Cuba was and should be "free and Inde pendent" he declared "silly."

Venneman, of Troy, was kidnaped last Tuesday afternoon while playing near his home, and despite the stringent efforts made by a posse of 400 men und a brace of bloodhounds no trace can be found of the boy. The boy left the house at noon, and nothing was thought of his absence until supper time, when a searc'a was made for him, but he could not be found, and it was thought he was drowned in the creek neat town. Since then the search has been kept up night and day. The bloodhounds worked the scent to the creek and the stream was dragged for miles.

Letter to H. E. Buck. Plymouth, Ind. Dear Sin: We want an agent In

your town for the foremost paint in the world: Devoe Ready Faint. We bespeak a few words to say how much more this means than simply the sale of good paint. Our agent has to administer this agreement with every customer. "If you have any fault to find with this paint, either now in putting it on, or hereafter in the wear, tell your dealer about it." "We authorize him to do what is rightatour expense." We become, you see, the partner of every man that uses our paint; and the partnership lasts as long as he chooses to continue it. Suppose 100 jobs of painting are done with Devoe Ready Paint this year; and some of them don't turn out satisfactory two or three years from now. Our agent has got to "do what is right at our expense." Of course this means that we know our paint is going to turn out all right. We have been in business, we and our fathers in business, 145 years; have made a great deal of paint; and have dealt with thousands and thousands of people. Are not in the least afraid to "do what is right" when a job goes wrong. There is such a thing as honest business yet in the world. Yours truly, F. W. Devoe & Co. $100 Reward, $100.

I INDIANA THE MOST ECO- f STATE IN THE Ü5I0H When it comes to the election of members of the legislature on Nov. 4, your vote means one of two things either you do or you don't care whether or not the state's business Is carried on in an economical, businesslike manner in which you would want a company in which you were a stockholder to be conducted. Either you will cast your vote in favor of continuing the present debt-destroying, expense-reducing state administration, or you will express a perference for a start in a new direction. This is as certain as the result of an arithmetical process, correctly carried out if experience teaches anything. Here are the facts: Indiana is today the most economically managed state in the Union. Within the past seven years of Republican control a state debt of seven and a half million dollars has been cut in two, and, with present conditions continued, will soon be wiped out The tax levy, fixed at 18 cents on the $100 under the last period of Democratic control of state affairs, has been reduced under the Republican regime to 14 cents. All this has been accomplished in spite of the expenditure of more than $1,600,000 in the permanent improvement of the state penal and charitable institutions, the completion of the soldiers' monument and the establishment of the state soldiers home at Lafayette. Reform laws have been passed which have reduced the burdens of local taxation and have resulted in the turning into the state's treasury of thousands of dollars In fees which formerly went to private coffers. The per capita cost of the maintenance of the state's wards In various institutions has been materially decreased. Republican state and legislative candidates stand for a continuance of these conditions, and you have a chance to Indorse or repudiate the record. Family Fend Costs a Life. Newcastle, Ind., Oct. 27.

Sudden Popularity of Bituminous Coal.

The Chicago Inter-Ocean says the sale of anthracite coal in that citv has been permanently injured by the coal strike in Pennsylvania. By beingcompelled to use soft coal the people have learned by experience that it answers quite as well a purpose as the hard coal. Fred Busse of the Busse-Rev-nolds Coal Co., one of fhe largest coal dealers in Chicago, was interviewed by the Inter Ocean who said: This increase in demand for smoke less bituminous coals will come from all classes of people. And chiefly it will come from householders and own ers of flat buildings where hot water and steam are used for heating pur poses. The flre-box boilers can be ac commodated to the use of soft coal. Now that landlords are finding how simply and economically soft coal can be burned the majority of them, in my opinion, will never return to the use of anthracite. The only thing that would compel them to do so would be a strike in the bituminous fields.

How to Vote at You Wish. To vote a straight republican ticket make a cross within the circle containing the eagle and no where else on your ticket. To vote astiaight democratic ticket, vou simply make a cross within the circle containing the rooster. To vote a mixed ticket, you make no cross within the circle, but make a cross in the square at the left of each name on the ticket for whom you wish to vote and make no mark anywhere else on your ticket. Every voter who follows the above simple directions can vote as he pleases and his yote will be counted. IT'S IMPOSSIBLE To Disprove Facts. It is Decidedly Easy to Verify Plymouth Opinion. Nothing bv way of an introduction can be added to the experiences and opinions given below, which could Increase their value. Plymouth people can saTely be left to draw their own conclusions based on such convincing proof aS this citizen offers. What is there lacking in evidence like this to satisfy a dyed-in-the-wool doubting Thomas?. Mrs. Jane Martin, of 1618 North Center St., says: "I have had attacks of kidney complaint for a long time. When they occurred my back ached across the loins often so severely that if I attempted to stoop sharp twinges through the kidneys were sure to follow the attack movement. They were so persistent and so stubborn to resist tbe use of medicines and standard remedies that I became despondent and came to the conclusion that I was doomed to suffer for the rest of my life. At last someone advised me to try Doan's Kidney Pills and a box was procured for me at J. W, Hess' drug store A few doses convinced me that they were going to the root of the .trouble and a continuation of the treatment for some time stopped the backache. This positively prrVes to me that Doan's Kidney Pills can be depended upon to act as representea. For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

Peculiar

To Itself In what it is and what it does containing the best, blood-purifying, alterative and tonic substances and effecting the most radical and permanent cures of all humors and all eruptions, relieving vreak, tired, languid feelings, and building up the whole system is true only of Hood's Sarsaparilla No other medicine acts like it; no other medicine has done so much real, substantial good, no other medicine has restored health and strength at so little cost. "I was troubled with scrofula and came near losing my eyeshjbt. For four months I could not see to do anythine. After takln two bottles of Hood's Sarsaparilla I could see to walk, and when I had taken eight bottles I could see as well as ever." Scsix A. Hubston. Withers. N. C. Hood's Sarsaparilla promises to cure and keeps the promise. The Saturday Club. The Saturday club met October 23th with Mrs. T. J. Winins. ' The subject Castles and Abbeys in Scotland" was one of particular interest including history, literature and romance. It was ably handled in a paper written by Mrs. Julia lilain. Mrs. Ida Smith's five minutearticle concering the great salt mines of Russia, Wielitzka in particular was unusual and instructive reading. What the Polls Show. The polls taken by the state committees show, according to members of each, that the state is going largely both republican and democratic. The republican leaders are claiming the state by 25,000 and the democrats say they will capture Indiana by from 12,000 to 1S.000. The poll books show; however a state of affairs that has never existed before. There is an unusually large number of men in every county of the state who will noo tell how they intend voting and they r.re p'ut on the books as "doubtful." Entertaining Feature of a Newspaper. Probably no other newspaper in the United States can show so brilliant an array of special features as is found in the columns of The Chicago RecordHerald. The daily and Sunday news and special features of the Chicago RecordHerald Include the letters of William E. Curtis and Walter Wellman. The Record-Herald 's special New York dispatches, its unparalleled foreign news service, embracing its own special cables with those of Tbe New York Herald and the Associated Press; its pages deyoted to the markets and financial and commercial intelligence exhaustive to the most satisfactory degree its popular sporting page, its gxtended editorial department, Riser's humorous "Alternating Currents," "Stories of the Day." the departments of railroad and insurance news, music and drama, society and clubs, the column of book reviews, the daily fashion article, etc., all uniting to furnish to the people of Chicago and the Northwest a newspaper which commends Itselt to discriminating readers as oniy a newspaper can w men combines the world-wide facilities of the greatest metropolitan newspaper of modern times. Old Census Reports. Old census reports show some things that seem strange at present. That of 1800 showed 951 African slaves In Connecticut, 135 in Indiana, 12,242 in New Jersey, 20,343 in New York, 1.706 in Pennsylvania and 381 in Rhode Island.
