THE RICU3IOXD PAIXADIU3I AND SUN-TELEGRAM, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1908.

of almost every township la this county was greater In 1850 than In 1900, except In Wayne township, which Increased rapidly by the growth of Richmond. , The following table was compiled for me by the state statistician: Township Pop. 1850 Pop. 1900 Ablngton 1042 664 Clay 1055 973 Dalton 793 522 Green .. 1507 ' 04 Harrison .764 . 420 Perry 841 684 Boston .. 936 811 Center 2752 1929 Franklin .1309 1121 Jackson ,. '. 3304 3821 Jefferson .. .. ..1688 . .1720 New Garden.. .. ..1402 1166 Washington 2265 1608 Wayne 4629 J2166 What is the reason of all this? Let us seek the answer first as to the agricultural townships. During that period of fifty years the area of cleared land has not been much increased, while its productivity has been In a degree diminished. But the chief reason Is found in labor saving implements. One man now cultivates and harvests double, and more, the acreage he could then. The consequence Is many young men to find employment, came to Richmond, or went elsewhere. The same thing has taken place, (perhaps, In a less degree,) In many other counties. In short, the products and population of the farm are hardly increasing at all. The report In the last U. S. census shows the rural population of Indiana In 1890 was 1,390.617, and in 1900 was 574 less. Our increase has been in the towns and cities. The same statistics show the persons working on the farm in 1880 were 331,783, and in 1900, 342,733. While those engaged in manufacturing, transportation and trade in 1880 were 166,858, and in 1900, 345,156. That is to say, the industrial army In the fields while steadily at work is not increasing, while the army engaged in manufacture and distribution doubled in numbers in twenty -years. Natural Resources Cause. , What has produced this increase? in a great measure It Is attributed to our coal, stone and gas fields. Cheap fuel is a prime factor in every manufactory. And railway transportation is so general in this state that coal Is to be had in every town at a low cost. Added to this is the fact that Indiana is In the center of the nation's population, and the cost of distribution of manufactured articles is less than from many "other states. Our state statistician gives me a comparative list of the values of farm and manufactured products In Indiana,

. Farm products in 1870. $192,914,302; , In 1900, $204,450,196. Manufactured products in 1870, $108,617,278; in 1900, $378,120,140. These figures tell the story. And our manufactories have increased tieir output enormously since 1900. So that we have become a great manufacturing people. Indiana's Future. Holding the foregoing facts in mind, we can in a measure foretell the industrial future of Indiana. In the first place, It Is apparent that an advance Is about to be made in land production. Corn Is our first product. The demand- is increasing rapidly and the price Is always upward. The area of corn production is limited to a stretch of country between Pittsburg and Topeka and north of the Ohio and south ot the lakes.. Our cornfields are Inexhaustible gold mines, the dividends depending on the output. The science ot agriculture will son be taught in our common schools. Young men will learn how to double the corn crop. School boys in sqme counties ire now growing 100 bushels to the acre. Intensive farming, rather than extensive, Is coming about. ' "A little farm well tilled, "A little wife well willed." working together can double the products of our lands. In the second place our mechanical products will multiply rapidly In the future. Our Inexhaustible coal fields assure this. Our Increase In railways insures general and cheaper transportation. So that if coal continues to be brought from our mines to make steam power for our factories, our advance Is secure. ' But a new form of power Is coming Into use, which we call electricity. And this force may be accumulated by the dynamos almost anywhere, and transmitted instantly almost anywhere. The power that moves the street cars in Lafayette, Is made in a power house in Ft, Wayne In a few years the power will be drawn from the coal, at the mouth of the mine and sent on a wire as needed anywhere in the state. This will help to put the small manufacturer on an equality again with his great competitors, and give additional opportunity for Individual enterprises, and cheapen the cost and so Increase the consumption of many articles, and add new recruits to the industrial army, and advance rapidly mechanical Industry. And still another mode of accumulating and using this wonderful force Is being proven commercially successful. Electricity may be accumulated very cheaply at any waterfall, natural or artificial. This state was once full of mills along our streams. The country mills eventually went down because of the expense of the haul to and from the railway station. But the water power is still there. It is easy, by means of a dam und a dynamo, to accumulate this latent power and send it over a wire to do almost any kind of work. These plants are being built now on White river and the Tippecanoe. Electricity Is now sent successfully 200 miles from the power house at Niagara Falls. Railways are operated in Switzerland by this power taken from the streams. When one thinks what the telephone has done in twenty-five years, nothing seems Incredible to ex pect In this wider use of electricity. Causes of Advancement. And there are other things taking place which will aid to our mechanical

advancement. The raw materials for the manufacturer of iron and steel, can be accumulated at less cost at the foot of Lake Michigan than any other place in the country. The ore on the ranges around Lake Superior is loaded on cars like gravel or sand, with a steam shovel, and into boats by gravity and brought down the Great lakes, at a minimum cost, to meet our coal and limestone in the furnace. Trust or no trust, the iron of the future will be made largely in Indiana. And the various branches of mechanical industry using Iron and steel will multiply and prosper in this state. So that looking ahead, it se ms sure that in the very nature of things this is to be the central manufacturing state. The ' great forces of convenience and cheapness of accumulation, and distribution meet here. And what is true of iron is alike true of wood. Soon that too must come across the lakes. And iron and wood are the cheapest articles used in manufacturing. A consequent increase in population will surely increase the products of the soil as well as the manufactory. And with it all, there will be a great Increase In the general commerce of our state, and so - more trade of all kinds for our merchants. Let every member of the club lend a willing hand to advance the industrial energy of our state, and carry forward every effort and enterprise that will add to our present productivity. And it will not.be. long until Indiana will stand in industry as she now does in education and Other things abreast with any other state.

The high school football season began last night when about twentyfive candidates reported to Coach Horton at the play grounds on South Twtney-third street They were given practice in starting, falling on the ball, catching the bell, kicking and several other minor stunts. After about an hour and a half of this sort of practice they were given a run around the track. There were eight old men out. they being Allison, Haas, Burcham, Marlatt, Spangler. Cox, Wann and Hobson. With these old men on the squad there are better prospects for a real team than there has been for several years and If they do not have one of the strongest teams In this part of the state, it will not be the fault of the coach because Horton is doing his very best. Horton has ordered all candidates to quit smoking, chewing, drinking, and he advises his men to go to bed at a very early hour in the evening. TO LEAVE HOSPITAL. John -Emery, night ticket clerk at the Pennsylvania station, who has been detained at the hospital for the past several weeks on account of an attack of typhoid fever, will be permitted to leave the hospital soon. He has been sick for the past five weeks. W. N. Marine is acting as night ticket clerk. Kodnl Fop Indigestion. m Relieves sour stomach, palpitation of the heart. Digests what you eat.

Week Elapses; No Better; - Brother Visits Brother

Economy, Ind., SepL 15. The brotherly love between Caleb Fenlmore of Muncie, Ind., and Chris C. Fenimore of Economy is great. So great is the affection that should one week elapse without an exchange of letters there is anxiety In the hearts of both. It seems that Brother Chris however, became forgetful of his relatives TAFT TO STOP He Will Appear Here on Way To George Ade Farm About Sept. 24. HE MAY MAKE A SPEECH. IT WILL BE OF SHORT DURATION HOWEVER OWING TO LIMITED TIME MAY SPEAK HERE AT A LATER DATE. Richmond and Wayne county people will have at least one chance to see big genial Wm. H. Taft, republican candidate for the presidency and that on either September 24 or 25. The former secretary of war will pass through this city enroute from his home in Cincinnati to the George Ade farm near Brook, Ind., where he will deliver his speech directed to the farmers of the country. Secretary Taft will stop in Richmond but a few minutes, but it is very probable that hundreds of Richmond and Wayne county people will take advantage of these few minutes and greet him at the local Pennsylvania station. He may be prevailed upon to make a short address, although owing to the train's short stop such a speech cannot be much more than a word of greeting. Republicans of Richmond and the Sixth district however are not content with this and today Sixth district chairman, Edgar M. Haas went to Indianapolis to see if arrangements could not be made whereby the presidential nomine can be brought here to deliver a longer campaign speech. Taft's appearance in Richmond would undoubtedly bring thousands of people to the city as he will speak in no other town a hundred miles distant. ENROLLMENT 2, Exact increase in School Attendance Determined Today. HIGH SCHOOL CROWDED. The total enrollment for the Richmond public schools up to noon today was 2,830, which Is an increase of '66 over last year, and an increase of 117 over the year 1906. At the high school the need of additional room is keenly felt. Every room in the entire building that can be used has been put in service. The attendance at the high school is 415, which is an increase of 56 over last year. The attendance at the different schools is as follows: High school. 415; Garfield, 291; Warner, 205; Fnlley, 221; Starr, 429; Whitewater, 2o9; Hibberd, 252; Vaile, 294; Baxter, 280; Sevastopol, 192. PLEA OF GUILTY This Was Expected or Monninger in the Blind Tiger Case. HEARING THIS AFTERNOON. This afternoon in the circuit court Albert D. Monninger, one of the proprietors of the Conkey-Monninger drug store. Ninth and Main streets, will be arraigned in the circuit court on a charge of violating the blind tiger bill. It is stated that Monninger will enter a plea of guilty to the charge. Prosecutor Jessup ordered the arrest of Monninger several days ago, charging that he had been in the habit of selling whisky without prescriptions. One of the clerks at the store was also arrested on the same charge and was bound over to the Juvenile court This charge will probably be dismissed. WRECK CREW CALLED. The wreck crew was called to the east end yards last evening to place two freight cars on the track that had become derailed while switching. The damage was small and the wreckage was cleared without delaying any trains. HE CAN'T BEHAVE. John R&uber was fined 15 and costs this morning in the city court fOf intoxication and public indecency. Last July he was sent to the county Jail to serve time on similar chaiga.

RICHMOND

in Muncie for one short week and Saturday Caleb arrived from Muncie to find out if there was anything serious the matter with his kin. On arrival he admitted that there was so much uneasiness on the part of the "folks at home," because one week had passed and brother Chris had failed to write. Nothing was found wrong however.

FIGHTING HUGHES TO "LUST DITCH" His Enemies in New York Determined on Governor's Defeat. HILL SPOILS THEIR PLANS. AMBASSADOR TO BERLIN TELLS OPPOSITION HE WOULD NOT ACCEPT NOMINATION FOR GOVERNOR. Saratoga, N. Y., Sept. 15. After the Anti-Hughes republicans of New York had about decided to focus their strength on David Jayne Hill, as an opposition to Hughes, a cablegram was received from Hill, who is American ambassador for Berlin, that he would not accept the nomination. This again offsets the plans of the opposition and the greatest uncertainty prevails as to the outcome. The Hughes opposition is still as emphatic in insisting that Hughes shall , not be nominated. Those who have the Hughes candidacy in charge here on behalf of President Roosevelt were told that the president's desire through a letter or telegram would be necessary before the Hughes revolt could be quelled. Evidently it is believed writing over the president's signature would have the desired effect. President Roosevelt has been Informed of this situation. He is working through Secretary Root and Representative W. W. Cocks to swing the convention to Hughes. Hughes Makes no Effort. The governor is at Albany and has not raised his hand in his own behalf. He persists in continuing to transact the business of the state and to all intents and purposes the doings of the convention are no immediate concern of his. There is no question but that the governor is taking the proper attitude from his standpoint, and the governor's friends here recognize it. So they are doing the best they can under the circumstances. Roosevelt Out of the Game. Two years ago the delegates accepted without question the edict President Rosevelt delivered in a telephone message to Representative Cocks that Hughes must be nominated. Several such edicts from Oyster Bay have been issued in this emergency as strong as the one of two years ago, but there is not the general kowtow now there was then. There is no friend of the governor here to whom his opponents will listen with any show of placidity. FORGOT TO PAY WIFE ALIMONY Frank Retz Taken Back Dance to Music. to A deputy sheriff took Frank Retz, a resident of Dalton township to Winchester this morning where he was placed In jail on a charge of contempt of court. About three years ago Ketz's wife obtained a divorce from him in the Randolph circuit, and he was ordered to pay her alimony. This, It is charged, he never did, so yesterday Judge Mace- of the Randolph circuit court sent a warrant for his arrest. Retz will probably be allowed to serve ten days in the Randolph county jail for his carelessness. PREBLE COUNTY FAIR OPENS Racing Feature of Program. Today's Eaton, O., Sept. 15.
