Plymouth, Ind. October 20. 1904.

7 be slaughter in Manchuria is the most eloquent plea for peace that could possibly be made.

Grover Cleveland has announced that he cast his tint vote for James Buchanan, and he did not vote for Bryan.

Lafollette will bo elected governor of Wisconsin and Rooseyelt's majority in that state will be more than 50,000. Mark this prediction.

Mr. Bryan repeats Judge Parker's statement that the Philippines have already entailed a cost of some $600,. 000,000 on the Treasury of the United States. It seems to us that we should i

have a bill of particulars. Parker gave

no authority for his figures and we have seen no explanation or defense of tbem from any one.

Senator Charles Warren Fairbanks,

the republican candidate for vice-pres

ident, has surprised even his most intimate friends and admirers by the vigor and endurance be has displayed in his campaign work. In strenuous-

ness he has e7en equalled the famous tour of Theodore Roosevelt when a candidate for the same office four

years ago. - John Sharpe Williams, of Mississippi, comes to Indiana to tell Hoosiers how to vole, yet the congressional district in which Williams lives did not cast as many votes at the last election as were cast in Center town ship. It would seem that Williams teaches people where he lives how not to te. There are 39,000 voters .in his district, but only 1,433 of these vote. Most of the others are not allowed to vote.

It is reported that people of both

Russia and Japan are clamoring for

the war to stop. The whole world outside of Japan and Russia hopes peace will soon be made. Much as President Roosevelt's administration has been criticised for its somewhat active interest in foreign affairs, we do not believe that there is a man In the country who would not gladly support it in any well-considered effort to bring about a peaceful settlement of the quarrel between Japan and Russia.

The management of the state institutions under Governor Durbin has not been perfect, cut it is so superior to the care usually bestowed upon tbem that it stands conspicuously away beyond and above that !of any administration Indiana has enjoyed in many years. Never before have the state institutions been conducted with greater regard for business detail and economy than now, and along with this this their effectiveness has been largely increased. Indianapolis Independent.

Judge Parser's assertion that 200,000 lives have been sacrificed in the Philippines is absurd and sensational, and it would not be true if every man, soldier, sailor and civilian, who has gone to the Philippine archipelago for any reason since May 1, 1898. bad died and were buried there. The total number of soldiers, regulars and volunteers, that have served in the Philippines at any time does not exceed 150,000. Everybody will agree that suco absurd and reckless statements do not recommend the man for president of the United States.

It is now an admitted fact that since the coming in of the republican party la 1861, this country has advanced with magic strides, yet during all these years the democratic party has stubbornly, and almost unanimously opposed every measure that has brought to our people this wonderful prosperity, and hence the voters can readily perceive that had the demo cratic party been at bead of affairs the country would have been bankrupted by this time. This is a fact that cannot be controverted, for immediately - following the war that party favored the repudiation of the national debt.

' If the. voters or Marshall county will consider well the condition of county affairs they will see that it is to their interest regardless of party, to elect republican councy and township officers in November. A very sensible democrat said I shall vote for republican candidates for county officers because it is necessary to show our leaders that we demand economical county government. We can go back and elect democrats whenever it is best to do so, because the democrats have a large majority in the county. Voters will do well to think of this. They can get better government' by tbouicj politicians that the people ruls rejardkss ?f P-rty majorities.

There is a republican majority of 100,000 in Wisconsin, and it can not be thrown off the track by individual differences.

There is this extreme danger in the election of Parker. The New York judge may be right m himself, but look at the crowd that Is back of him. That is what tells plainly of the peril the country will be in through the triumph of the democratic ticket.

The truth is," savs Tum Watson, 'that there is no democratic "party. It is not a body of men having a common purpose In view.' It is strange that a fact so plain could escape the attention of any voter in the United States.

Frightful are the reports of the butchery that has been in operation at the seat of war during the past few weeks. Thousands of Russians have been slaughtered, and the losses of the Japanese have by no means beei insignificant.

The democrats are trying to cheer themselves over the fact that Bryan is drawing big crowds in Indiana. He did the same thing in 1896 and also in 1900, but all the people who flocked to see and hear the Nebraska orator did not vote for him by any means.

Is not there really a good deal of nonsense in charging Mr. Roosevelt with being solely responsible for a revival of race issue? It strikes us our Southern friends by pursuing a policy of disfranchising the negro have bad something to do with raising the race

issue.

LEITER FROA PETERSON

According to Mr. Bryan's signed ut

te ranees, heroes not appro e Parker's political views nor the method of his nomination. Bryan looks for Parker's

defeat and is at work on a plan to re

rganize the democratic party after Its rout next month. ' Mr, Bryan's

Parker speech in Plymouth will be

read between the lines.

Like the Indian, who, when unable

to find bis camp and it was suggested

be was lost, replied: "Me no lost,

wig warn lost, ' ' so the democratic party

Insists, notwithstanding its change of

front, that the country, not the party

is lost. The democratic party, with

out a fixed policy, would be as saft a

guide as the ludian in a strange wil derness.

Judge Parker is not a fit man to be

nominated by the democratic party or

any other party for president." said

William Jennings Bryan in a public

speech in Chicago last April. Now the

same speaker Is golnir over the state

of Indiana making the open declara

tlon that Parker is the only Moses

that can lead the democratic party out

of the wilderness. ' . , "

At one stroke of his pen Abraham Lincoln freed 4,000,000 black men. With one stroke of his pen Roosevelt has made it possible to reclaim more than 100,000,000 acres of land to agriculture, adding millions of American farm homes with their vast volume of agricultural products which will flow from this rich area of land redeemed from the desert.

"Political empirics" well describes the species of constitutional hair-split terswbosee the constitution rent in tatters every time anew condition demands the exercise of some government powef not dreamed of in the philosophy of Thomas Jefferson. If the political empirics of 1891 had had their way there would have been no union left for their successors to weep and 'roan o er in 1904.

Why 1 Cant Yote and Work For Judge Parker.

David Bennett Hill made 'a speech at Indianapolis Monday night. Most of his time was taken up in abusing Roosevelt and he said that every democrat should vote for Parker because the democrats this year have a ticket and a platform that have the support of Grover Cleveland in the East and W J. Bryan in the West, and that anything that could command tbe support of those two men ought to have the snpport of every democrat. Mr, Parker holds that the gold standard is irrevocably established. Mr. Bryan still believes In what be calls bimetallism that is free silver. The democratic managers are expecting Mr. Bryan to convince Indiana democrats that think as he does that the thing to do is to vote for Mr. Parker. In viewf what be has preached for years, and in view of what he said about II r. Parker before the St. Louis convention, Mr. Bryan is certainly up against it.''

The promotion of Robert J. Wynne to tbe office of postmaster general is a recognition of merit, not theresult ot a political pull. Mr. Wynne is a man who has made his way by deserving success through energetic work and his own mental equipment. . He went to Washington originally as a telegraph operator. " He soon transferred his energies to the newspaper field, and for years did excellent service. He was appointed first assistant postmaster general In 1902.

Too late to cure a cold after consumption has fastened its deadly grip on the lucs. Take Dr. Wood's NOrwny Pins Syrup vyhils yet th:rc is time.

Heretofore it has not been deemed necessary to send from the state committee, literature to me, touching upon the merits of the candidate for presiden upon the national democratic ticket, for the reason that I have always been found in line, fighting for the triumph of that ticket, belleving that X was right . ; I still claim to be a democrat in all that the word Implies, not one of the "bolting" kind, but one that has stayed by bis party so long as there was a democratic party. I am told that it seems strange, that now those who left us in 1896 and in 1900 have come back to us, that I should remain outside the fold. I deny the allegation in every respect. Not one has come back, but on the contrary the wouldbe leaders, of the grand old democratic party, by means of plenty of sugar soap or promises of certain official fat, have swallowed their crow feathers and all, and gone over to tbe clique Ujat bolted and defeated tbe democratic party in 1896 and also in 1900. ,, i It cannot be successfully denied, that had these bolters that manipulated the St; Louis convention la 1904, stayed by the party in 1896 and 1900, there is not a shadow of a doubt but what the democratic party would have been successful at the polls and elected Mr- Bryan. Tbe good book says: "If they smite you on one cheek, to turn the other." Well we got it on both cheeks, once in 1396 and again in 1900. followed by a "solar-plexis" at St. Louis in 1904, at which time these bolters delivered tbe knock-out blow to tbe democratic party, stole tbe republican platform and now have the cheek to ask democrats to support them, lbave a fairly good, strong stomach, but not strong enough to retain that amount of "crow, ".and just here let me say that in traveling over tbe northern part of the state I find that there are a great many that are feeling just tbe same as myself, that among business men I have talked with, while they are not saying anything that will induce the democratic state committee to hustle a lot of literature to tbem, the same feeling is prevalent, and, to use tbe expression of one certain man, "you can kick tbem out from undermost any bush." While we have nothing to say as regards Mr. Parker's attitude, we all feel that we cannot trust the "man bebind the gun," or "the power behind the throne." Tbe endorsement of Judge Parker by such men as Grover Cleveland is all that is necessary' to make true democrats steer clear ot the bolters candidate to say nothing of tbe "Inspired" telegram immediately following the nomination of Judge Parker, wherein the intelligence of democrats who bad supported Mr. Bryan was questioned, even after the convention bad fully settled the money question to tbe entire satisfaction of all democrats. I repeat, that laying all this aside. Tbe letter to new voters by Grover Cleve

land is enough to disgust a man that wanted to be a democrat. As it shows

too plainly the old "spider and the

fly" story, with Grover Cleveland as

one of those overgrown spiders coaxing tbe innocent democratic flys into his web. I shall vote and work for tbe success of our local ticket, for the reason that the men nominated on the ticket were loyal democrats, and I shall not permit anyone tto read me out of tbe

democratic party as a party,

Respectfully, W. E. Peterson.

Plymoutii, Ind., Oct. 26, '04.

One Wall Street Democratic President W. H. Everoad, a prominent demo

cratic lawyer of Columbus, Ind., is out

in a long letter showing why demo

crats should not vote for Parker.

Among other reasons is tbe following:

The rpnnhliran narrv 1 firprl In Its

W W jm V J w B) WW purpose. Democrats are not respon

sible for its declaration or its actions;

but democrats will be responsible for what follows in the wake of the demo

cratic party, if in its republicanized

rorm, it should be elevated to power. We have had one experience with a Wall street democratic administration; may the people .of my country never again be called upon to witness

another. The blight of Clevelandism

Is not yet removed; it is like the blood

s tod on the hand of Lady Macbeth, it

will not disappear. "

A Mysterious Disappearance.

David Traxler, representing the wholesale grocery bouse of G. Bun-

ley & Oo., of Fort Wayne, mysterious

ly disappeared from Argos Wednesday afternoon, and all efforts to locate

bim have so far proven unavailing

Traxler, who visits the small towns

along tbe Nickle Plate, was waiting

at tbe depot at Argos for the west

bound local freight, which was at the

time switching at that point, Intend

iug.to go to nibbard and then south to Culver aad DeLong. While the

train was getting ready to depart, Traxler, who was talking to the con

ductor, suddenlv left him and started

across the country. As he was well

known, to the train crews, having made the trip weekly for years, the train was held quite a little time for

his return, and then proceeded. When

he arrived at nibbard the conductor

telegraphed to Argos, asking ir Traxler had returned. As nothing had been seen of bim since he left the conductor, it was , deemed advisable to nptify his firm. A representative of the Bursely home came to Argos on the first tralo, and a search was instituted. In his grips which helefMo the depot at Argos was over 8400.00 and bis accounts were found correct to'a cent. He was seen at 7 o'clock Wednesday night within a few miles of DeLong, by Arthur Sturgeon, who walked a mile with him and he then appeared to be rational. He spoke of going to Culver and nibbard, and to DeLong, and when told he was nearer to DeLong than tbe other points, turned off In that direction. Searching parties were seeking him In every direction Wednesday but up to a late hour nothing further had been heard. He was a large portly man, and was well known to tbe trade, having visited this section every week or so for the past ten years. Democrats Have No Hope James P. Hornaday the democrat staff correspondent of tbe Indianapolis News in New York, says the prospect now' is that Roosevelt and Fairbanks will be elected by a majority in the electoral college, almost as large as that recelyed by McKinley and Roosevelt four years ago. The Parker-Dav-is campaign is a disappointment to the men behind it. It has dragged from the beginning. Everv device known to politics has been resorted to

by Chairman Taggart and his cabinet of Eastern democrats, with tue v hope

of an awakening but the desired results have not fcsen attained, y

Russians Still Advancing. For ten days one of the world's

great battles has been fought in tbe

vicinity of Mukden witn varying suc

cess and the end is not jet.

One day there comes a report that

Japanese are victorious; tbe next day

we are informed that tbe Russians have driven them back and tbe terrible slaughter still goes on- Over

sixty thousand brave men have been

killed or wounded and the life or

death struggle for the possession of

Mukden continues.

Latest reports say that the Russian

army is advancing.

Rain Is hinderlDg everything. The

rivers are bank full and the fords are Impassable, lhere are no bridges.

Supplies of all sorts are delayed.

News has just been received that

the Japanese left flank . has been

driven back with heavy loss and its rej

treat cut off. A Russian regiment is

now being hurried to the scene in the

hope of oompleting the rout.

Wanti to Be Ltt Alone. The south wants to be let alone in

the matter of settling the race question, just as it did in the matter of

protecting slavery. It violated the constitution and established an era of lawlessness in the secession movement

44 years ago and it would rather see anarchy reign and the very union of states dissolved now than to allow the

north to have a hand in bringing

about a peaceful solution of the race problem. South Bend Tribune.
