The republicans of Polk township will meet lo mass convention at Tyner Saturday June 11, 1904 and 2.30 p. m. for the purpose of nominating a township ticket, delegates to the County convention, and transacting any otner necessary business. Every republican in the township is requested to attand. F. E. Head. Tp. Chm. - Parker is in the lead for the Demo cratic nomination, provided a tongue tied man with 122 delegates behind him can be magnified into a leader. Fred II. Myers may not be a candidate for treasurer after all. Many able lawyers believe that the supreme court will decide that no county treasurers are to be elected this year. There was not a democrat in the county who asked for the position of coroner or for member of the county council, consequently the democratic county Committee will have to fill the ticket or call another convention. The next time democrats want to prevent a deputy sheriff from getting a nomination they will not put eight candidates in the field against him. All the other candidates now see how easy it would have been to beat Voreis with one good man. Joel P. Ileatwoole, formerly of Elkhart county and the founder of the Middlebury Independent, has in recent years represented the Northfield Minnesota district in congress, and is now a candidate for United States senator in Minnesota. Mr. Cleveland's new indorsement of Parker as the logical candidate of the democratic party is likely to be a twoedged sword. While it will help Parker in the East, where Tammady, for example, is striving for his defeat, it will hurt him in the West. Japan's great man, 1 to, has just said that the destiny of his nation depends cn the result of this war. The fact is plain enough. It is because the Japanese are fighting to preserve their-national existence that the sympitby of theworld is with them The Goshen Democrat says that r 3 publicans ought not to trust Corte. -you with the chairmanship of the national Q committee because he was once a democrat. The Goshen Democrat seems to believe that , no man who has ever been a democrat can be trusted, but many good men have left the democratic party and still there are some good men in that party. Cortelyou is all right. Port Arthur's garrison is running short of food and famine prices exist, according to the report of Chinese refugees arriving la Newchawang. Whole rows of buildings are said to be in ruins from Japanese shells,and many Chinese have died of starvation Dalny Is occupied by the Japanese without a battle. The Russians In their flight left much property un touched, which Is valuable to the Jap anese army. Republics may be ungrateful, but that charge surely does not apply to the United States, in so tar as the treatment of its soldiers and sailors is concerned. For forty years the wants of the defenders of the flag have been most generously supplied. Billions have been expended with this end in view, and such a thing as niggardliness has never been chargeable to the pension bureau. South Bend Times. Whatever may have been thought of previous victories of the Japanese ever the Russians, the one at KinChou was neither an accident nor due to Russian cowardice or error. It was a hard-fought contest, calling for courage of the highest quality, persistence and all the arts of. war, and the best fighters won. Tables nay turn later and the Japanccs be overcome by superior nu inters, but the army of the IW-zZo his proved its military equality Tilth thz trucp cf tny nation. J

, Bryan will be a delegate from Ne

braska to the democratic national convention at St. Louis and it is becom ing evident that there will be some thing doing on the floor of that Con vention. While Ed R. Monroe got almost as many votes as Walker for recorder, he carried but one township while Walker carried six and Smith carried three. Smith made a good race wt ere he was well known which is sometLlng in his favor and Monroe swept his own township almost clean. It is apparent that the old wheel horses of democracy and all their proteges and followers are to be laid on the shelf. New managers are in the saddle and they propose to ride to suit themselves. The old leaders say that many of the men now at the front are in the habit ot voting the republican ticket when they cannot have their own way Mr. Cleveland has repeated his indorsement of Parker and made it somewhat more emphatic. But it would be much more interesting if he were to tell the hungry democracy where Parker stands on at least one or two of the questions prominently before the public. All the public knows about b'.m thus far is his opinion that he Is big enough to grow into the Job. The South Bend Times and the Indianapolis Star say that Frank E. Hering will again be a candidate for congress in this district. . It is not; probable that Hering will get the nomination this year without a fight. Marshall county democrats are oppos ed to Hering and while they do not think there is any hope of the election of a democrat in this district they do not want to vote for Henng. In eyery presidential election be ginning with that of 1812, New York has been preponderant among all of the states in the electoral college. In every one of the twenty-nine elections for president thus far held, the side which New York took turned out to be the winning side except in four m stances in 1812, when it went to DeWitt Clinton; in 1856, when itdecter ed for Fremont; In 18C8, when it was carried by Seymour, and in 1876, when Tilden got its electoral vote. George Fred Williams, the Bryan leader or Massachusetts, announces that he wili form a new party. Geonre Fred ought to know that it takes more than one man to form a successful political party. "Rise Up" William Allen resurrected the demo cratic party in 1873, after all the democratic -nurses and doctors had i pronounced it dead. But William Al len was then almost 80 years old and ne had a corpse to work on while George Fred has nothing to start with. From nothing comes nothing. Reports have it that Senator Gor man will form a combination with John R. McLean and Col. Guffey to control the Ohio and Pennsylvania delegations to the St. Louis conven tions. Gorman is credited with a pur pose to defeat the nomination of Judge Parker. Gorman held up the entire Cleveland administration in 1894. He headed the trio of demo cratic senators who stood out against the Wilson bill till it had been amended to suit the sugar trust. The man who with two other senators could hold up Cleveland and his entire ad ministration and compel them to accept a tariff subterfuge which satisfied üüu'jdy, may be big enough to hold up the ;3t. Louis conyentlon if he has not. lost his grip. CORDIALLY APPROVED. Prohibition State Convention Makes a Hit With Organ of Liquor Trade. "Our Standard," the crgan of the local retail liquor dealers' associar tlcn of Indiana, gives its cordial en dorsement to the work accomplished by the recent state convention of Prohibitionists In Indiana. In its issue of April 25 "Our Standard", says: "The editor of Our Standard has fre quently asserted that no conscientious saloon keeper can honestly object to the methods employed by the Prohibl tion party In Indiana. A great many condemn because they do not under stand. "The recent convention of the Prohi bitionists of this State passed resolu tions that with a little pruning will look well on the minutes of every liquor dealers' meeting in this State. That party goes on record as endors ing the very statements made by the editor of Our Standard to the temper tace committee of the legislature that passed the Nicholson bill in '95. "The sentiment expressed in the pI-tfcTn cf t!i Prohibition cenventien chould be an incentive to the liquor Eta to c-t la line fcr thdr own pro-

DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES.

A County TicKet Nominated on the Usual Minority Plan. Democratic primaries were held in all the townships of Marshall county last Saturday and there were some surprises. The result of the popular vote was as follows:. For treasurer, Fred H. Myers 716, Thomas B. Lee 641, S. A. Knobloch 548, Urlas Menser 245, George Maxey 563. For she'wtf, James T. Poulson 177, Daniel W. Jacoby 326, Daniel C. Vöries 632, James W. Falconbury 644, Thomas F. Chaney 221, J. Henry Koontz 338, James n. Castleman 167, James Worsham 176, Joseph P. Miler 71. For Recorder, Charles M. Walker 1026, Ed R. Monroe 934, George W. Smith 713. For Surveyor, Percy J. Troyer 1,384 Eldridge Thompson 1225. For Commissioner 3d district. James B. Severns 1402. John V. Law rence 1.145. The inspectors of the ten townships, the county chairman and two or three expert democratic manipulators met at Kuhn's hall Monday afternoon, tabulated the vote and apportianed the delegate vote so that on too final count the delegate vote was as follows: For Treasurer, Myers 66.14, Lee 51.86. For Sheriff, Voreis 68.12, Ealconbury 52.86. For Recorder, Waiker 62.86; Mon roe 58.06. For Surveyor, Troyer 62.57, Thom pson 58.41. For Commissioner: Severne 66.65, Lawrence 54.34. This gave them them the following ticket: Representative, Daniel. Mc Donald, Treasurer, Fred H. Myers; Sheriff, Daniel C. Voreis; Recorder, Charles M. Walker; Surveyor, Percy J. Troyer; Commissioner, First Dis trict Joel Anglin; Commissioner Third District, James B. Severns. x McDonald and Anglin had no oppo sition, consequently they received the entire delegate vote, 121. But James W. Falconbury who re ceived twelve more votes than Voreis for sheriff got almost sixteen less votes than Vereis when the delegate vote was apportioned. This was caused by his ratio being very small In somejof the large townships like Center and German. While it cannot be charged that the men who made the count were unfair, it shows ihat the method used by the democrats in this county seldom nom inates men who are the choice of a majority of the voters, nad delegates been selected in the primaries and these delegates had met j and balloted until a majority of them agreed;on a ticket, a better expression of the people would have have been ob tained. But if democrats are satisfied we do not propose to register any kick. We shall have something more to say of the ticket between now and November. W. A. Beldon' was nominated for trustee of Center township. The vote was as follows: Beldoa 260; Greiner 230; Trowbridge 127; Orr 75. Peter Hahn was the choice for trustee in Bourbon township; Charles Romig in Green; George MorelocK in West, and F. C. Myers in Polk. Decoration Day in Plymouth. Decoration, day was observed by everybody in Plymouth Almost ail the business houses closed v from one until four p. m. The National Guards and the veterans led by the Plymouth band and the hundreds of citizens in the line of march made a fine procession. The music by the Glee Club was excellent and Rev. W. S. Howard delivered a very fine oration reviewing the entire history of our government showing the evils of war even when wars are absolutely necessary. Many of the veterans begin to show the marks of failing health and several did not feel able to join the procession who have always been in the ranks before. Cemetery Notice.

THE DRUMMER CANDIDATE

Successful Traveling Man Made Can , didate for State Statistician. Joseph H. Stubbs "Joe" Stubbs they call him on the road Is the Republican candidate for State Statistician. He was born In Henry county and at the age of fourteen began to aipire to the title of "merchant prince" JOSEPH STUBBS. as a clerk in a general store In a country town. Later he became a traveling salesman and for many years has been successfully selling shoes in Indiana, making his home at Indianapolis. His nomination is a recognition of the traveling men, who as a unit worked for his preferment. Alert, Industrious, discriminating, he is well qualified to perform the duties of the place to which he has been nominated. WORTHY AND WELL QUALIFIED State Treasurer Hill Has Made a Model State Official. As State Treasurer, Nat U. Hill, of Bloomington, who was unanimously renominated by the Republican state convention for the office he now holds, has amply fulfilled the expectation of his friends, who recognized in his qualities of character and successful business experience a guarantee of great usefulness in the public service. Mr. Hill has brought to the discharge of his duties the characteristic quality of conservative common sense. He has been diligent in conserving the fiscal interests of the state, and as a member of the state finance board has assistN. U. HILL, ed in that rapid reduction of the state debt which has come to be a distinguishing feature of Republican administration. Mr. Hill was well prepared by natural endowment and hard-earned experience for the duties he Is now performing. A native of Clay county, he finished his junior year in the literary department of Indiana University and graduated In the law department of that institution in 1876. For two ytars thereafter he practiced law in Brazil; then located in Bloomington, where he became interested in banking and other business enterprises. He was successively director, vice president and president of the First National Bank of Bloomington. For sixteen years he has served as a trustee of Indiana University, and has been for the past thirty-five years an ardent and useful friend of that institution. Incidentally Mr. Hill has been active In politics, though up to the time of his candidacy for the nomination as State Treasurer his efforts were everted exclusively in the interests ot? his friends. He served ; as county chairman, district chahman and delegate to the national conventions which nominated General Harrison in 1892 and William McKinley in 1896. Mr. Cleveland sees no reason why any Democrat should bolt the nomination of Judge Parker. Mr. Bryan probably considers Mr. Cleveland's example more Important than his advice, and while the Nebraskan may not follow the Princeton man's advice, he may follow his example. A 8tate of Opportunity. ' By so much, therefore, must our admiration be greater for the great Middle Western States Indiana, for example which have built up successful public school systems for their whole rural population. In Indiana, as in mopt of the adjacent States, a boy or a i4rl may attend a public school from the beginning of school life till the completion of a college course without expense for tuition. Some schools are bad, some good, some better . As Miss Shaw points out in her article on Indiana the excellence of the school depends on the teachers. But the great fact stands outand a parallel can be found in the rural parts of no other country that a welldeveloped and intelligently conducted public-school system exists there; and it Is complete. An Indiana' lad may become a scholar in literature or in science, or he may 'become a master of agriculture or of mechanics he may be trained for any pursuit practically "frea of cost for tuition; and a school, during his earlier life, is near encash his own home to ba easily tccessiblc World's Wcrfc.

MANY LABOR LAWS

Placed on Statute Books by Republican General Assemblies. SOME VERY IMPORTANT MEASURES Which Contribute to the Betterment of the Condition of Those Who Toll Nearly All the Modern Labor Legislation Now on the Statute Books of Indiana Placed There Since 1895. During tL9 past decade of Republican control in the General Assembly nearly all the modern labor legislation now on the statute books of Indiana has been enacted. During the General Assembly of 1895, when for the first time in many years the Republican party assumed responsibility for legislation in Indiana, the law compelling streetcar companies to equip their cars with vestibules for the protection of employes was enacted. This was only a starter. Ic. 1897 the factory inspection and child labor laws, with its companion, the one creating the Labor Commission, received the signature of Governor James A. Mount. These two measures have almost revolutionized, conditions in factories, the former looking after the health, comfort and bodily welfare of employes, the banishment of children under fourteen from factories and mercantile establishments, shortening the hours of labor for them, preventing the working of women at night, and in numerous other ways looking after their welfare. Te labor commissioners, who might be styled a "let us get together and talk it over committee," have accomplished a great deal, much more than the general public gives them credit for. The first of these measures was introduced at the request of the Indiana Federation of Labor. The other, as soon as its provisions were understood, received its hearty support. In 1899 the legislature amended and strengthened both the factory inspection and labor commission laws; doubled the force of the former and made the latter more serviceable; Increased the salary of both commissioners and the chief inspector; passed a weekly wage law, the fire-escape law, and one concerning pleadings and proof in action for damages, yjhlch removed the burden of proof from the plaintiff and placed it on the defendant. These measures met the hearty approval of the Indiana Federation of Labor and were considered their measures. In 1901 there were passed a law concerning a minimum rate of wages on public works of state, counties, cities and towns; an act regulating the handling of explosives in mines; one concerning the Issuance of checks, tickets, tokens or other devices given in payment for the assignment or transfer of wages, making them payable on demand; the bak e-shop law; .one protecting laborers who work on public streets, alleys, sewers and other pablic improvements, by compelling the contractor to give bond for the payment of wages; and one compelling convict made goods to be plainly labeled "Convict Made." t This same year the railroad men had an act passed compelling railroads to maintain lights at street and railroad crossings. In towns, and one providing for signal lights on switches. Both of these were for the better protection of trainmen and were supported by their committee. At this session of the legislature the forces of both the mine inspector and factory Inspector were again Increased and the mine In spector's salary increased to $1,800 per annum. In 1903 there were passed the boiler Inspection law, the temporary floor law, and one compelling the inspection of naphtha and gasoline launches on inland lakes and rivers, by a competent mechanic. All of these laws were not introduced at the request of the Federation of Labor,' but many of them were; however, they all received their hearty support and were recognized as being to the Interest of the workmen. At this session the railroad men received a law which forbade their employment for more than sixteen hours consecutively, thus giving them eight hours' rest out of twenty-four. They also-secured the passage of an act compelling all raUroads within the state to equip their cars with automatic couplers, continuous brakes and hand-holds. Here are eighteen distinct acts passed at the request of organized labor and the amending and strengthening of some of them at each session of the legislature. Not only has the Republican party passed these laws, but in the appointment to positions created by them they have invariably gone to the ranks of organized labor for persons to fill them. When the factory Inspector and labor commissioner were to be appointed. Governor Mount gave them to men who had long been Identified with organized labor, Mr. McCormack and Mr. McAbee, either of whom had had twenty-five years' experience in the active ranks of organized labor, and Governor Durbln only a short time ago reappointed these gentlemen. Mr. McAbee, In the appointment of his deputies, followed the precedent established by Governor Mount by taking them from the ranks of practical me chanlcs, and all of. them with one exception were members of organized labor. The exception was when he needed a man whose trade, that of boiler tender, haß never been organized. , The factory inspector's force has been increased from two to seven parions, and there is no doubt that when the needs of the department require a larger force that a Republican legislature will grant it, as they have that o'.' the mine inspector. The facts are that never have the requests of organized labor been heeded to the same extent as they have been by the last four or five Republican-general assemblies.. Not every measure backed by the Federation of Labor has become a law, but if they Cid not it was because" cf an honest inference of opinion as to the valua to workmen aid the csacral public

Err AN ABLE JUDGE

Conscientious Devotion to Duty Has Characterized Indiana Jurist. John V. Hadley was born on a farm in Hendricks county, Indiana, Oct. 31, 1843. He left Butler University in 1861, at the close of his sophomore year, and joined the army as a private in the Seventh Indiana infantry. He was wounded in the second battle of Bull Run August 29, 1862. In November, 1862, he was promoted from the ranks to a first lieutenancy, and was shortly thereafter detailed on the staff of General James C. Rice. He was again seriously wounded at the Battle of the Wilderness, May 5, 1864, and left upon the field as mortally injured. He was afterward conveyed by the enemy to a Confederate field hospital, from which hospital he, escaped, 'but after two days' efforts in trying to gain the Union lines ,was recaptured and sent south, and was a prisoner at iviacon and Savannah, Ga., and Charleston and Columbia, S. C, JOHN V. HADLEY. from which latter place he escaped on the 4th day of November, 1864, with three others and successfully entered the Union lines at-Knoxville, Tenn., Dec 10, 1864. An account of this exploit was published by Charles Scribner's Sons in 1898 in a neat volume of the Ivory Series entitled "Seven Months a Prisoner," the dedication of

Judge Hadley was discharged from the army In 1865, and upon his return to civil life at once began the study of law. He was admitted to the bar in June, 1866, married and settled in Danville. He continued practicing his profession in that city until the fall of 1888, when he was elected to thecircuit bench of Marion and Hendricks counties. Upon the division of the circuit he was re-elected to the Hendricks Circuit Bench in 1894, and from that to the Supreme Bench In 1898. His service on the Supreme Bench has been characterized by a spirit of conscientious devotion to duty.
