We see in it the elimination ot the ward healer" and the dislike of the better class of citizens to have tne liquor element enter into the polltics through the side door on Sunday. We dare say that what the majority of the voters wanted, was not the total demolition of the business, but a means of bettering conditions, in which freedom had been abused bv , , . , . , the saloon Interests. There is many a man who will drink now and then who has voted for prohibition to rout the dive and low resort which has been fostered by the "Interests." And who does not recall the fact that the very .v f.. r In m " w the south which was frequented by we lowest ana most aepraved or the blacks and whites, were accustomed to keep a decanter on the sideboard in the Interest of hospitality? The liquor traffic has none to blame but itself and the vicious element that L

It catered to. We now see signs of I

ship. It is not only hard on them, the union cause would have been debut on the sane and temperate man operate. The wedge between the East who occasionally likes an lnnocuos and West would have rendered the

rises of heer: but the weaker element must be defended against Itself and if the saloon will not do it the commun-1 ity must.

I liiKH carp or r.nemsRivRS. i n nariv i has accomplished much in the past and it now stands committed to the two things which will eliminate the vicious element: i. e. the high license and the county option. These two things we believe will do more to help the state to a sane position on the subject than will prohibition. The democratic Dartv is so honelesslv entangled with the Taggart-Fairbanks-Lieber combination that any effort toward a wholesome condition of affairs I Is Impossible. The better element, lMu, winca wants elimination or me dive and the low saloon must vote the republican ticket wherever they can find a man who represents the republican party on this question fearlessly and who has shown in his past record that he Is both competent and sincere. I A REPUBLICAN CONGRESS. While all this presidential talk is going on, let us not forget the im portance of a republican congress. If Taft Is elected he will need a republican house to carry out the program I as enunciated in the nlatform and in his sneeoh of notification if c J impossible, one W. J. B. is elected it will be all the more important to have an overwhelming majority in the house to aid the senate in keeping wild and disastrous policies in check Let us be prepared for any contlngen cy. Let us not avoid looking any re sult squarely in the face. Any man who wants business de stroyed by passionate and emotional legislation against corporations because they are corporations, whether they be peaceable corporations mind ing their own business; or trusts will tuny violating the statute on tech nicalities must vote the democratic ticket. But the man who contends that the present system must be amended, so that the evils be reduced to a mln- . , . lmum must vote the republican ticket to insure a healthy continuation of businesss. More than that the tariff we are all agreed with Taft must be wu . . . amended, but It Is by far better to amend than to swing to the extreme of free trade as announced in the Denver document. If the democrats are to abide by their folly if they get a . ... . chance, we shall soon see the reo? hard times, and not the passing flurry of too much frenzied finance. We shall see tne hard times in which there will be no work for men because of the strangulation of business by the wild men who would play with Ideas rather than laboring with realities. That is why we must have a repub lican, congress. To hold in check the follies of democracy if such should be our misfortune, and to carry out the needed "clinching" of the policies already inaugurated by the party. The republicans must not think we are bat tering up the Tin Woodman and knocking the stuffing out of the Straw. - " uangeroua aaversary.

OLIVER PERRY MORTON Eighty-three years ago, that is, on the fourth of August, 1823, there was born in th I . I Richmond, a boy who lived to be the greatest of the "War Governors,- an able man during the Um. of the reconstruction, who did the country emlnent service in the senate at the time of the panic of 1S73.

Thus the country which was saved, owes it to Oliver P. Morton that his name and deeds be perpetuated. What then shall we of Indiana and especially of Wayne county do in honor to his memory?

Copyright. 1906. by V r AT I eSBSBBsW CHAPTER XII. I OLLOWING close upon Mrs. Cable's visit to his office In the afternoon, Bansemer presented himself at her home in the evenisg, urbane, courtly, but characteristically aggressive. Her action in bearding bim in his den was not sur prising, even though it might have been considered unusual. He had been well aware for some time that she was re, uneasy and it It was only a question of time when she would make the expected advances. Since mnt Bansemer had been punctiliously con8iierate. And yet underneath his faultless exterior Mrs. Cabie felt that ehe could recognise the deadly poise of other Intentions. She lived in fear b a3 lf (rom aAr and that she would be powerless to combat them. Something stronger than words or even lntumon told ber that James Bansemer was not to be turned aside by sentiment. TVrtoon at last r the noint where she felt that she must know his intentions. ...... w she boldly ventured into his consultaUon xwm a trembUm? but determined creature whose flesh quivered with chill despite the furs that foiled the wintry winds. Elias Droom passed her on Into the private room, with a polite grin that set ber teeth on edge. She loft the building fifteen minutes later, nursing a wild but forlorn hopo that James Bansemer meant no evil after all. Without hesitation she told him plainly that she came to learn the precise nature of bis attitude toward herself and the girl. Bansemer's re sentment appeared too real to have been simulated. He was almost harsh " his response to the inference. In the eoa, nowever, oe was a uiue iras iuau tender in bis efforts to convince her that she had cruelly misjudged him. She went away with a chill in her heart dislodged, but not dissolved. When he asked if she and Mr. Cable would be at home that night for a game of cards she felt obliged to urge him to come. It was not until she was In the carriage below that she rememtered that David Cable was to attend a big banquet at the Auditorium that nlnt and .ne W theater with friends. Bansemer smiled serenely as he esrorted her to the door. "We will not permit anything to happen which might bring misery to the two beings so dear to us," he assured her at parting, Shortly after 8 he entered th Cable home. He had gone to Chicago avenue nerorenana to sena a leiegram east. Prom the corner of Clark street be ivnikori serosa town toward the lake. facme the bitter gale with poor grace! . . , . la Washington place he passed two men going from their cab into the Union club. He did not look at him, nor did he see that they turned and stared after bim as he buffeted his way across Dearborn avenue. One of the meu wan Bobby Rigby, the other Denis Harbert of New York. "It's the same Bansemer," said Har bert as they entered the club. "I'd know him in a million." At the Cables' a servant on opening the door announced that Mr. Cable was not at home. Is Mrs. Cable at homer' asked Mr, Bansemer, making no effort to find his cardcase. "Yes, sir," responded the servant aft er a moment's hesitation. Bansemer passed through the vestibule. "Say Mr. Bansemer, if you please." He removed his coat and was standin comfortablv In front of the blar lng logs in the library when she came down. "I thought the night was too dread ,,1 . -r,-. ,f ,in. less" she was saying as she gave him her hand. "A. night indoors and alone is a tnou sandfold more dreadful than one out oo s terrupted Bansemer. He drew up cnalrs In front of tne fireplace ana stood by waiting for her to be seated. to attend a banquet at the Auditor!' um," she explained nervously, confi dent, however, that he felt she had not 1 " forgotten.

"You are wanted at the telephone. Mrs. Cable. Shall I say you will come?" Flushing to the roots of her hair. the mistress of the house excused herself and left the room. Bansemer leaned back In his chair and smiled. She returned a few minutes later with a fluttering apology. "What a terrible night It must be for those poor linemen," she said. "I remember what it meant to be a railroad KS.ttST JeT gTat deal merrier; Tth tbotTw. STve here, Mr. Bansemer. Just think of the poor fellows who are repairing the lines to"'V" Sm JToI!

"Dodd. Mead Company "I doubt if I shall miss him greatly," said he. "He expects to leave early. De isn't well," she hastened to say. "Dont you want to smoke?" "A cigarette lf you don't mind. By the way, where is my future daughter-in-law? Surely I may see her tonight." "She is at the theater with Fernmores. Graydon is one of the party. Didn't you know?" she asked suddenly. "I do remember it now. He left th apartment quite early. Then I have Fernmore to thank for we are alone." He leaned forward in his chair and flicked the cigarette ashes into the fire, his black eyes looking Into hers with unmistakable intentness. "You assured me today that you would be fair," she said, with strange calmness, meeting his gaze unflinch ingly. "I am fair. What more can you ask?" with a light laugh. Why did you say today that I had nothing to fear from you?" she de manded. "Yoa have nothing to fear. Why should you fear me? For twenty years your face has not been out of my memory. Why should I seek to hurt you, then? Why should I not rejoice in the tie that binds our interests our lives, for that matter? Come, I ask if I am not fair?" Her face became pale, her heart cold. She understood. The mask was off. He veiled his threat In the simplest words possible. The purpose looked through with greedy disdain for grace. "I can offer no more than I offered today," she said. "Do you suppose I would accept money in payment for my son's peace of mind?" declared Bansemer, with finely assumed scorn. "You offered me $10,000. You will never know how that hurt me, coming from you. Money? What Is money to me In an affair like this? I care more for one tender touch of your fingers than all the money In the world 1 You and you alone can mold every impulse in me. For half my life I have been bated. No one has given me a grain of love. I must have It. For years you have not been out of my mind I have not been out of yours." "Stop!" she cried angrily. "You have no right to say such things to me. You have been in my mind all these years, but, oh, how I hare hated you!" Like a flash his manner changed. He had her in his power, and it was not In bis nature to permit his subjects to dictate to him. Craft and coercion always bad been his ally. Craft could not win a woman's heart, but coercion might crush It Into submission. It was not like James Banse mer to play a waiting game after it had been fairly started. "Now listen to me," he said distinct ly. "You cannot afford to talk like that You cannot afford to make an enemy of me. I mean what I" "What would you do?" she cried. "You have promised that nothing shall happen to mar the lives of our children. You have given me your pledge. Is it worthless? Is it" "I wouldn't speak so lond lf I were you," said he slowly. "The walla have ears. You have much to lose lf ears other than those in the wall should hear what could be said. It would mean disaster. I know at least that you do not love David Cable" "What I I I worship my husband!" she cried, her eyes flashing, her bosom heaving. "I love him better than anything else in all the world. How dare you say that to me!" "Control yourself," he cautioned calmly. "Permit me to say you love the position he has given you. You love the pedestal on which you stand so Insecurely. You would rather hear his curse than to see the hand of social ostracism raised against you. Wait! A word from me and not only David Cable, but the whole world would turn against you." "I have committed no crime," she flared back at bim. "I have deceived my husband, but I have not dishon ored him. Tell the world everything. if you will." "It would be a luscious tale," he said, with an evil laugh. "The world, which is wicked, might forget the fact that Jane is not David's daughter, but David would not forget that she is yours.' "What do you mean?" starting from her chair. "She is not my child. You know she Isn't, You know the entire Btory. You" "I only know that you brought her j to me and that I did you a service.! Don't ask me to be brutal and say j more. She sank back and glared at like a helpless, wounded thing, the full force of his threat rushing in upon her. j "You you couldn't do that," she whispered tremulously. "I could, but I don't see why I should," he said, leaning closer to her shrinking figure. "You know it isn't true," faintly. "I only know that I am trying to save you from calamity." "Oh, what a beast you are!" she cried, springing to her feet "Go! 1 defy you! Do and say what you will! Only go!" He rose calmly, a satisfied smile on his face. "I shall of course first of all forbid my son to marry the young woman. It will be necessary for me to explain the reason to Mr. Cable. I am sorry to have distressed you. Really I had expected quite a different evening after your Invitation. You can't blame me for misunderstanding your motive in asking me to come here when you expected to be utterly alone." His laugh was a sneer. "Poor poor little Jane!" murmured the harassed woman, clasping ber hands over ber eyes. Then suddenly she cried out, "What a derll yoa are to barter with-your eon's tuumineeaP

"111 not mince matters," he said harshly. "You and I must understand each other. To be perfectly frank, everything rests with you. Call me a beast lf you like. As a beast I can destroy you. and I will." "You forget that I can go to my busband and tell bim everything. He will hate me, but he will believe me," she said, facing him once more. "The world will believe me." be scoffed. "Not after I tell the world that you tried to blackmail me; that you have demanded $50,000." "But I haven't made such a demand." "I can swear that you have." she cried triumphantly. He glared at her for a moment, his past coming up from behind with a rush that left him nothing to stand on. "I am willing to run the risk of scandal if you are, my dear," be said after a moment, bis bands clinched behind him. "It will be very costly. You have much to lose." "I think." she said shrewdly, guessing his weakness even as be saw it "that we can talk sensibly of the situation from now on. I am not afraid of you." He looked at her steadily for a moment reading ber thoughts, seeing ber trembling heart Then be said dryly: "111 do nothing for a week, and then you'll send for me." The door in the vestibule opened suddenly and some one aye, more than one came iu from the outside. Mrs. Cable started to her feet and turned toward the library door. Ban semer was standing close by her side. He turned to move away as David Cable stepped to the door to look in. Cable's coat collar was about his ears. and he was removing his gloves. For a moment he stood motionless, gazing upon the occupants of the room. Then for the first time there flashed before hkn the sharp point of steel which was to pierce bis brain later on with deadly suspicion and doubt. There was no mistaking the confusion of Mrs. Cable and her visitor. It was manifest that they had not expected him to appear so unexpectedly. He remembered now that on two other occasions he had found Bansemer at his bouse and alone with Mrs. Cable, but he had not regarded it as extraordinary. Bnt there was a startled look in her eyes tonight sn indecision in ber greeting that caused him to knit his brows and lift his band unconsciously to his temple before speaking. He beard Bansemer say that be was just going, but that he would stay for a short chat about the banquet Mrs. Cable turned to stir the fire with the poker, an unusual act on her part be was not slow to observe. The seed was sown. "I brought Bobby over from the club with me and a friend, Frances." he aftaF oalrlno. TRanmr ff alt down ior awnue. tus Keen eyes noieu that her hand shook as she put the poker baek Into its place. As he walked into the hall to throw aside his coat Frances Cable turned to Bansemer with a significant look, shaking her head in mute appeal for silence. Bobby Rigby came into the room, followed by a tall stranger, whom he presented to Mrs. Cable. Bansemer, standing near the library table, caught a glimpse of the stranger's face as he took Mrs. Cable's band. He started violently, unable at first to believe bis eyes. A chill ran through bis frame, and his expression changed from wonder to consternation. "Mr. Bansemer, my friend, Mr. Harbert" "I have met Mr. Bansemer," said into the other's eyes. They were on opposite sides of the table. "In New York," said Bansemer firmly, bis eyes unflinching in their return. He stood morion!, gazing upon the oo cupants of the room. He noticed that Herbert's look was uncompromisingly antagonistic, but that wai. to be expected. It troubled him, howtver, to see something like unfriendliness In Ttis-hv' creetinor. m. fought him to t ?ut In New York. This keen, aggressive young barrister had driven him into a corner from which he escaped only by merest chance. He knew James BansemeB for whaf be was. It had not been his fault that the man crawled through a Amall avenue of technicalities and a void. 1 the punishment that had seemed so certain. He had waged war bitterly against the blackmailer, and be misseC complete victory by a hair's bread tl. Feeling the strain of the situation, Rigby talked with earnest volubility. He led the conversation into many lines the war in the Philippines, the banquet the play which Jane and Graydon were seeing. The thought of the play brought a shade of despair to his brow pretty Miss Clegg waa In the party with that "mucker,' Medford. James Bansemer had been cold with speculation every instant of the tune

"Where are your offices, Mr. Bansemer?" asked the New Yorker. There was something significant in the question "Mr. Rigby and I have offices io. the, same building." he replied. "Wfil jou come la and see me?" "I shall try," said the other. To hare saved his life Bansemer

His brain was clogged with doubts, fears, prophecies all whirling like mad around the ominous figure of Denis Harbert. Suddenly he stopped stockstlll, the bitter scowl deepening la his eyes. With an oath he turned abruptly and hurried in the opposite direction. The time had come to make ready fer battle. A few minutes later, he was writing the note which created so much commotion in the home of Ellas Droom. CSV (Continued.) PALLADIUM WANT ADS.
