TO REPUBLICANS: "We are anxious to have every Republican in close touch, and work ing in harmony with the Republican National Congressional Committee in favor of the election of a Republican Congress. The Congressional campaign must be based on the administrative and legislative record of the party, and, that being so, Theodore Roosevelt's personality must be a central figure and his achievements a central thought in the campaign. We desire to maintain the work of this campaign with popular subscrip tions of One Dollar each from Republicans. To each subscriber we will send the Republican National Cam paign Text Book and all documents issued by the Committee. Help os achieve a great victory. James S. Sherman, Chairman. P. O. Box 2063, New York. THE REAL ISSUE. No matter what may be done by the Democratic party in Indiana and other states In an effort to cover up the real issue before the American voter the fact still remains that President Roosevelt is "the paramount issue. What the President has actually done may be buried by the Democratic? leaders who hope for success, but his accomplishments still stand out boldly and In plain view of the masses of the voters. When President Roosevelt declared that there should be legislation that would curb the power of railroads, nobody doubted his word. The action was taken. "When the president said that the packing house evil would be Investigated, nobody doubted his nerve nor his word. The investigation was made. And so it has been with every declaration of Roosevelt. His acts have suited his promises. His sincerity has never been guestioned. When the President a days ago said that a Republican Congress must be returned if the legislations begun is to be carried to a satisfactory termination, he meant fust what he said. He still is sincere. It is not within the power of the President, however, to elect a Republican Congress. He leaves that to the people, feeling that they understood fully the actual importance of his suggestion. If the voters in this country should decline to heed the President's call, it would be a direct slap at his administration. Every intelligent voer understands this. So do the Democratic leaders and what they are aiming at more than any one thing is to see the slap administered. There can bo no one getting ' around the real Issue. It simply is a case of endorsing the work of Roosevelt or not endorsing .him. - The election of a Republican congressman is an endorsement; the defeat of a Republican candidate for Congress is a slap at the administration. The New York Times of yesterday said: "Secretary Taffs speech to the voters of Congressman Littlefield's district is one of the best campaign speeches ever made in this country. Fortunate is the political community that has the privilege of listening to a discussion of public questions so candid and so full of information. Fortunate, too, is the audience so willing to be instructed and enlightened that it will consent to "sit through" in address that must have occupied something like two hou-s in its delivery. Mr. Taft's speech was an appeal to reason, and campaign audi

ences have of late been so continuously treated to appeals to passion, to demagogic harangues spiced with much sensational stuff and thickly peppered with denunciations of culpable wealth, greedy Trusts, and cermorant corporations that it is gratifying and of good augury to hear of an assembly of voters capable of listening to a speech such as the orators of former times were accustomed to deliver. s "Secretary Taft reviewed and summed up the work of the Republican Administration ably and lucidly. Every voter of Mr. Littlefield's district who heard or has read the speech knows the motives and achievements of Mr. Roosevelt's Administration politics. We admire the courage and the sincerity of the Secretary of War for having declared that Mr. Roosevelt is the issue in this Congressional campaign. That suggestion was made, he says, as a ground for criticising the Republican Party, but he boldly

declares that the Republicans "do propose to make Mr. Roosevelt the issue in this campaign because he Is the issue, not in what he has said, but in what he has done and what the party has upheld him in doing." Nobody can misunderstand that. But from making Mr. Roosevelt the issue it is but a step, and an almost inevitable one, to making him the candidate two years hence. It is diffi cult to see how the Republicans can come into possession of any other Issues than those Mr. Rooseyslt has made and will make. If he continues to be the issue during the next two years, it is hard to see what will prevent his being made the candidate." PLAN CHANGE 111 STATE p LAW County Legislatures to Alter the Present Obnoxious System. NO MORE ROAD WORKING. Believed that Cash Basis Would be the Proper Relief Farmers and Citizens of Small Towns Interest ed. All the farmers over Wayne county and Richmond people owing property in the townships are interested In the road tax question at this time, as the supervisors are preparing he lists of assessments that are to be "worked out." The old plan of working out taxes is not according to the ideas of one trustee ,as he believes that the road tax should be paid directly into the treasury and paid out again in cash to the workmen employed in im proving the county's thoroughfares. In citing an instance of how the county and township could thus save money, the trustee said: "Take the case of the railroads. Instead of working out their road tax a railroad company having a tax of $100 will contract for some farmer to do the work for $75. This is done every ear. If the railroad companies can get $100 worth of work done for $75 so can the township. The trustee is in favor of legisla tion of placing the road work in the hands of trustees, to give him the right to appoint the supervisors who are interested in the work and who would attend strictly to business. By this method frequent attention would be given the roads. Defects, he says, would be remedied before they become serious and at a much less cost than when they remain un attended for weeks and months. It is expected that the legislative committee of the Indiana association of trustees, before the next session of the state legislature is called, will have under way a movement to change some of the laws regarding the care of township and county roads.

KIMBERLY OF AN DERSON, VERY ENTHUSIASTIC OVER THE TROPICAL COUNTRYTO TAKE A BRIDE. Anderson, Ind., September S. (Spl.) After his annual visit with friends in this city, ending this time, in his marriage, to take place tomorrow, William T. Kimbery, of this city, will leave tomorrow to resume work as an expert machanic in the shops of the Panama Canal Commission. Mr. Kimberly has been working for the Government in the canal zone for three years, and is prosperous and healthy. He will take back with him as his bride Miss Delilah McGriff, daughter of Mr .and Mrs. John C McGriff. "In the empire district of the ca nal zone, where am stationed," Mr Kimberly said, "the conditions for living with the exception of heat, are no worse than they are in the United States at this time. Money can be made by steady workmen. From January to August, when I got my va cation, I received $1,500 for my work. The machinists, boiler tenders and several other men of trades get 65 cents an hour. "The best paid men get suiu a month. They are the steam shovel engineers, while the cranesmen of the shovel crew get $185 a month. En gineers of the locomotive drawing railway trains get $180 a month and conductors of trains $170. They can save more than half of their salaries and live on the best that the Government provides for its employes in the canal zone. I have saved about 65 per cent of my wages, and had all that I desired to eat and good living quarters." . Women Have Good Health. As to the conditions for women or families in the canal zone, Mr. Kim beriy saia: "As a rule, e women and children are in better health than the men. They are not as much ex posed to the sun, and, of course, that has something to do with it. Women take better care of themselves than men; they do not drink any of the intoxicating liquors and they take the and sleep that is needed. in the empire district, there is a little colony from Indiana, We are well acquainted and get along nicely. They are from Elkhart, Muncie, Crawfordsville, Indianapolis and "Wa bash. We get papers from home and exchange them. The Indianapolis News is about nine days old w-hen it reaches us, and we pass it around and around until the paper is nearly worn out. You can see Indiana papers in nearly all the American col onies.

He is a firm believer in trade unionism and is a most determined advocate of the right of workmen to hard worker. Wage workers in his district should support him."

FIVE YEARS OF GOOD SERVICE

Rev. F. P. Baker's Work for Bethel A. M. E. Church This City. REVIEW OF HIS CAREER. MUCH BELOVED COLORED PASTOR HAS DISTINGUISHED HIMSELF IN MANY WAYS WHAT HE DID FOR CHURCH. The Rev. F. P. Baker, pastor of Bethel A. M. E. Church, Richmond, Indiana, was born in Cadiz, Trigg County, Kentucky, July 3, I860 of slave parentage. He attended the first school instituted for colored youths in that count'. In 1SS0 he moved to Evansville, Ind. Here he joined Alexander A. M. E. church under the pastorate of Rev. Morris Lewis, who is at the present time Presid ing Elder of the Richmond District. Not long after Rev. Baker was made Steward and Class leader and was also elected president of the "Union Literary Society." Owing to the musical ability and willingness to work in the church, he was chosen chorister of the choir. In 1884 he was elected first president of the Colored Y. M. C. A. of the state of Indiana, and the same year was made local preacher. It was in this church and city that Rev. Baker made his mark. In 1890 he was admitted a member of the Indiana Annual Conference which convened In New Albany; over which session Bishop John M. Brown presided. At this conference Rev. Baker was transfered to the Illinois Conference; his first appointment being to Shiloh Circuit, where untold success attended his efforts for one conference year. In 1891 he was appointed to the pastorate at Shawnetown, 111., which church he found had ben closed for tthree month, die blso found the membership of 38 scateredabroad. During the two years pastorate of this church, by his untiring efforts and trusting in God as his guide, one hundred souls were added to the church. During this time he repaired and beautified the church, "built a parsonage and raised more money for all purposes than had ever been accomplished in all of its existence. ? In 1892, Rev. Baker was ordained Deacon by Bishop A. W. Wayman. In 1893 he was sent to Carbondale, III., where he increased the membership from 49 to 160 and repaired the parsonage and remodeled the church, thus breaking all previous records of the church, both spiritual and financially. In 1894 he was ordained Elder by Bishop Waymen and was in 1895 transferred back to the Indiana Conference and stationed at Jefferson ville, Ind., where he served the church three years. During this time the membership was increased from 50 to 120 and a mighty work was done for God . In 189S he was sent to Mt. Vernon, Ind. It was here the power of God was wonderfully manifested by the rebuilding of the church and by adding many to its roll, such as will be saved. He repaired the church and parsonage preparitory to entertaining the first Annual Conference held by Bishop A. Grant, D. D., in Indiana. In 1901 he was sent to Bethel A. M. E. church at Richmond, Ind. Here he has broken the record of all his predicessor by serving as its pastor five consecutive years. And now the writer of this article is at a loss of words and thoughts sufflcieat to biog raph the life and character of the sub ject of this sketch, but looking back to his introductory and what he has accomplished during the past five years, I am reminded of the passage: "What I doeth now thou knoweth not, but thou shall know hereafter." Rev. Baker found Bethel church's indebtedness, mortgage and interest amounting to $1,300.00 and a member ship of 195. The first conference year of his pastorate to Bethel, he succeeded in collecting money from our white friends and congregation sufficient to pay the mortgage debt and interest. The 9th of July, 1902, said mortgage was burned by Bishop Grant, witnessed by a large audience composed of both colored 'and white. The present membership of Bethel A. M. E. church is 384 86 of whom were accessories during the year. Rev. Baker found two Auxilaries to the church when he took charge namely: The Sewing Circle and Married Ladies League. To these he has added the Starr Society; Ladies' Aid; Herculean; The F. P. B's; The Young Men's Lecture Course; The Literary Congress; and the Business League, all of which have been active in as sisting the church financially. Thomas Roach, of Carbondale, III.,' said in an article he wrote concerning Rev. Ba ker, that he was a natural born leader of men. During his five years pastorate at Bethel, he has preached 550 sermons, married 64 couples and officiated in 68 funerals. He has acquainted himself with many of the secret societies known to the colored race, being a member of the Odd Fellows and a prominent Mason. He has been a member of the City Sunday School Executive Committee, and has held a strong relation to the Ministerial Associaion. In 1S94 he was alternate to the Gen eral Conference which convened in Chicago and is now talked ofgenerally as Presiding ElCsr for the ensuing Conference year. The series of farewell sermons to the several secret orders during the month of August, were of intense interest to those present, the last of which wa3 an admonition to the Knights of Pythias. He ,
