THE POSTERS. The brewer's posters have come and with them the refutal of the arguments advanced by Crawford Fairbanks. The statement of the real facts in Kansas by Governor Hock is convincing. It is a striking commen tary that the posters which attack prohibition and county local option were along business lines. Surely no one knows more about business in Kansas City than the Commercial club. And the Commercial club announces that there had never been less crime, less drunkeness and that business and finances had never been in better shape. Nay business has improved. The "camera cannot lie" say the brewers. No, but the men ,who use the photographs can. A half truth is vorso than a lie because it is more subtle. What if that camera had been used to show some other things beside the ciosea Bar rooms, nai n a parauei series of photographs had been made, ehowing where the money went which was needed by the families of the men who were lined u acainst the bars ir respective of whether there had been drunkeness or not? The camera cannot lie. ... . . : What if the camera had shown the life of the "submerged fifth." the pov-

erty, the degradation? What if the f sures had been compiled to show the number of people in want? '-.;-. In Indiana the question is not "the aaloon must go" it . Is "The people shall decide." T fight the republican ticket the .trewers are engaged la circulating posters, buttons, free drinks and in organizing bo that the people may not decide. In its platform and speeches the

democratic party has taken for its slogan "Shall the people rule?" In state politics the same party has announced "the people shall not rule." Can not the people of Indiana be trusted to decide this question for themselves? Yes. By the action of the legislature the people are enabled to decide that question when it comes up. In the meantime are they going to be misled by the posters of Crawford Fairbanks? Why fight Jim Watson because he urges that the State of Indiana was to decide this matter for himself? The brewers are fighting him with these posters. They are trying to confuse the situation. County local option is not prohibition. The word of Governor Hock and the Commercial club of Kansas City, may be taken that the means of the brewers is false. It does not need to be taken to show to the average citizen that the brewers are using this means against Watson because he stood for Home Rule in Indiana. The posters of the brewers are not true. ' The issue Is not what they would make it. "Let the people decide." That is what James E. Watson stands for. THE UNSOLID SOUTH. Taft has made his tour of speeches through the south. Ho is the first Republican candidate for tho presidency to leave the north. Whatever the Immediate effect of the trip will be it is significant. It means that Taft is a great enough man to look forward, that he is keen of perception. It means that he sees that the time, If not already at hand, is soon coming when the south must stop being "solid." The negro question is by way of being eliminated. And with the elimination of the negro question the arena of politics will be cleared for action. . The south cannot afford to be the backbone of the Democratic party without receiving adequate recognition from the party. This, since the war, it has never received. And not the least disturbing element in the Bryan party is that southern Democrats are growing weary of Bryan's dictatorial methods and his firm grip on the party which should but does not bear his name. He has excluded the real Democrats of his party from his councils, he has departed from the tenets of his party to wander after strange gods, he fails of being an opposition and he has adopted the role of the perpetual candidate to make his party the means of self advertisement for personal gain. Wherein can the southern Democrat whom he does not recognize find any thing but disgust at being exploited along these lines. What Bryan might for personal reasons have dene, Taft who cannot hope to gain much, has done. He has undertaken to make the southerner realize that he, too, is part of tho country. The south is awakening to its physical resources tho time is coming when it will realize its political resources. After forty years the Rip Van Winkle of tho (P

south is coming out from his coma and is about to claim his own. The south is unsoiid.

BARNARD. Those people who are looking for congressional action along the lines which have been laid down in the speeches of Mr. Taft should not overlook the fact that this can only be done by a Republican congress. Taft, whoso election now 6eems certain, can not accomplish all the people's desire unless he has a congress which is pledged to his support. William O. Barnard, who is running for congress In this district, has in his declarations, pledged himself for all that ia best in the Republican party and pre-eminently in favor of Taft's policies and plans. The people of this district need have no fear that he will do otherwise. He is a man of the highest principles. This year it is Imperative that a Republican congressman be elected. The dividing line is close and in the end a evenly balanced congress may have the effect of stifling good legislation. Taft must have a congress pledged to his views In order to back him up and to effect the legislation necessary to tho good government which he and: the citizens of tho country desire. In such a situation tho election of Judge Barnard is imperative. He can honestly receive the vote of every man who wants safe but remedial legislation in this country.

I doctored with several physicians and used remedies without number but to no avail. Finally being advised to try Doan's Kidney Pills I went to A. G. Luken & Co's store and procured a box. I was better in three days after beginning their use, and I took in all the contents of three boxes. The lumbago has never bothered me since and I have often told people of my experience with Doan's Kidney Pills." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

ATTACK ON PRIEST

Would-be Assassin's Aim Poor and Divine Escapes With Life. Is AT A CHICAGO CHURCH. Chicago, Oct. 19. An attempt to assassinate the Rev. J. K. Fielding, pastor of the Corpus Chris ti Roman Catholic church, was made Sunday afternoon. After twice shooting at the priest in the Sunday school hallway of the church the would-be assassin, knocked down scores of children standing in his way, ran into the street and escaped. The shooting and the screams of the children created excitement in one of Chicago's fashionable residence districts. The would-be assassin had been seen loitering In and about the church for some time. He was observed writing upon a sheet of paper which he held against the building. Folding the paper he placed it in his pocket, and hia actions then became suspicious. The police believe the writing was an explanation of his intended act and his identity which was to be found upon his body in the event of his committing suicide after killing the priest. A letter of similar purport was found in the possession of Gulsseppe Alia, who killed Father Leo Heinricha at the latter's altar in Denver. Aroused by the man's actions, Father Fielding approached him, saying: "What are you doing here?" "I'm praying," replied the stranger. As the priest turned his back the stranger stepped into the hallway and pressed a revolver against his Intended victim. Father Fielding knocked the weapon away just in time to escape a bullet, which grazed his head and clipped a lock of hair. And She Kt .... "Aunt Ohloe, do you think you are a Christian?" asked a preacher of an old negro woman who was smoking a pipe. "Yea, brudder, I spects I is." "Do you believe in the Bible?" "Yes, brudder." "Do you know there is a passage to the Scripture that declares that nothing unclean shall inherit the kingdom of heaven?" "Yes, I's heard of It." "Well, you smoke, and there is nothing so unclean as the breath of a smoker. So what do you say to that?" "Well, when I go dere I spects to leave my breff behind me."

Former Assistant Postmaster General to Vote for Taft

Chicago, Oct. 19. After thirty years as a Democrat, Frank M. Jones, secretary of the American Trust and Savings Bank, who served under President Cleveland for four years as first assistant postmaster general, has announced he will vote for W. H- Taft. In a signed statement to the Republican national committee, the former postoffice official gives his reasons for renouncing Bryan and the Democratic party, saying he does not want prosperity to be imperiled by the "unsound, experimental policies" of the Nebraskan. and that the country needs Taft to carry on the Roosevelt policies.

By Louis I Author of 3 I COPYRIGHT. 1904. By in one respect they vrere effective. They spoiled bis dinner. He had steeled himself against every possible form of surprise, but he was forced to admit that during the next three days he must succeed in persuading Evelyn Atherley that Philip Anson vrm alive and engaged in important matters in Yorkshire. That was imperative. Was bis scheme to be wrecked by a blue atom? Moreover, her query must be answered. His promise to write was. of course, a mere device. It would be manifestly absurd to send her a typewritten letter, and, excellently as he could copy Philip's signature, he dared not put his skill as a forger to the test of inditing a letter to her, no matter how brief. Finally he bit upon a compromise. He wired: Stupid of me to omit address. Tour concluding sentence mixed up in transmission. Meaning not quite clear. Am feeling so lonely. PHILIP. Then he tried to resume bis dinner, but his appetite was gone. In postal facilities, owing to Its position on a main line, York la well served from London. At 9 p. m. two letters, one a bulky package and registered, reached him. The letter was from Mr. Abingdon. It briefly acknowledged his telegram, stated that a man in the Athenaeum who knew Sir Philip Morland had informed him in response to guarded inquiries tbat the baronet was exceedingly well off and called attention to some important leases inclosed which required his signature. The other note was from Evelyn. It was tender and loving and contained a reference that added to the mystification of her telegram." In the hurry of your departure yesterday we forgot to mention Blu. Atom. What is your opinion? The price Is high, certainly, but, then, picture the Joy of it the only one in the world! And again came another message: I referred to Bhie Atom, of course. What did the postoffice make it Into? EVELYN. Blue Atom was assuming spectral dimensions. He cursed the thing fluently. It was high priced, a joy, alone In solitary glory. What could it be? He strolled into the station and entered Into conversation with a platform inspector. "By the way," he said casually, "have you ever heard of anything called a blue atom?" The man grinned. "Is that another name for D. T.'s, sir?" Grenier gave it up and resolved to postpone a decision . until the next morning. By a late train Philip's portmanteau arrived. It was locked, and the key reposed in the safe. Green, it ultimately transpired, solemnly opened the safe in the presence of the housekeeper and butler, locked it again without disturbing any of the other contents and handed the key to the butler, who placed it in the silver pantry. In the solitude of bis room Grenier burst the lock. The rascal received one of the greatest shocks of his life when he examined the contents a quantity of old clothing, some worn boots, a ball of twine, a bed coverlet, a big iron key, the tattered letters and a variety of odds and ends that would have found no corner In a respectable ragshop. . He burst Into a fit of hysterical laughter. "Ye gods and little fishes!" he cried. "What a treasure! The Clerkenwell suit, I suppose, and a woman's skirt and blouse. Old timers, too, by their style. His mother's, I expect. He must have been fond of his mother." At that moment Tocky Mason, beetle browed and resentful, was reading a letter which reached his lodgings two hours before his arrival, in an envelope bearing the ominous initials "O. H. M. S." It was from the Southwark police station. Sir Kindly malce It convenient to attend here tomorrow evening: at 8 p. m. Tours truly, T. BRADLEY. - Inspector.

EDWARD J. ClODE. or-ieave, Tut it was quite unusual tor the police to give a preliminary warning in this respect. Failure on his part meant arrest. That was all the officials looked after. "What's up now?" he muttered. "Anyway, Grenier was right. This gives me a cast iron alibi. I'll acknowledge it at once." His accomplice, hoping to obtain 6leep from champagne, consumed the contents of -a small bottle in his bedroom, while be scanned the columns of the local evening papers for any reference to a "seaside mystery" on the Yorkshire coast There was none. Anson's body had not been recovered yet. Before going to bed he wound Philip's watch. He examined it now with greater interest than he had bestowed on it hitherto. Although silver, it appeared to be a good one. He opened the caae to examine the works. Inside there was an inscription: Presented to Philip Anson, aged fifteen years, by the officers and men of the Whitechapel division of the metropolitan police as a token of their admiration for his bravery in assisting; to arrest a notorious burglar. Beneath was the date of Mason's capture. "Where was I ten years ago?" he mused. He looked back through the soiled leaven of a sordid record and found tbat be was then acting in a melodrama entitled "The Wages of Sin." And the wages of sin J death! The drama insisted ou the fall measure of Biblical accuracy. Altogether Grenier lay down to rest under unenviable conditions. He dreamed that be was falling down precipices and striking sheets of blue water with appalling splashes. Each time be was awakened by the shock. But be was a hardy rogue where conscience was concerned, and he swore himself to sleep again. ' Rest be must have. He must arise with steady head and clear brain. He was early astir, nis first act was to send for the Yorkshire morning papers. They contained no news of Philip Anson dead, but the local sheet chronicled his arrival at York. This was excellent The banker would see it. A few printed lines carry great weight in such matters. Then he signed the leases, dispatched them in a typewritten envelope and telegraphed: Documents forwarded this morning;. Please meet wishes expressed in letter. "Surely," he reflected, "Abingdon will not give another thought to my proceedings. Philip Anson is not a boy in leading strings." He wired to Evelyn: Sorry for misunderstanding;. Blue Atom must wait until my return. Here was a way out. Whatever that wretched speck of color meant, it could be dealt with subsequently. But Evelyn's prompt reply only made confusion worse confounded: Delay Is impossible. The man has put off the duchess two days already. So a man and a duchess and a period of time were mixed up with a blue atom. He must do something desperate begin his plan of alienation sooner than he intended. He answered: Too busy to attend to matter further. Going- to Leeds today. Letters here as usual. And to Leeds he went Residence in York was a fever a constant fret. In Leeds be was removed from the arena. He passed the afternoon and evening in roaming the streets, consumed with a fiery desire to be doing, daring, braving difficulties. But be must wait at least another day before he could lay hands on any portion of Philip Anson's wealth save the money stolen from bis pockets. At the hotel there was only one letter and no telegrams. The London bankers wrote: We beg- to acknowledge yours of yesterday. Your cash balance at date Is 12.410 9s. Id. Tour securities In our possession amount to a net value at today's prices of about 920.000. Including 2SO,000 consols at par. We will forward you a detailed list if desired and will be pleased to realize any securities as directed. Kindly note that instructions for sale should be given in your handwriting and not typed. There was joy. Intoxicating almost to madness, in this communication, but.it was not unleavened by the elements of danger and delay. nis signature had been -accepted without demur. He could control an enormous sum without question. These were the entrancing certainties which dazzled his eyes for a time. But it was horribly annoying tbat a millionaire should keep his current ac count so low, and the concluding para graph held a bogey, not wholly unfore seen, but looming large when it actual ly presented itself. The memorandum in Philip's band writing, on Evelyn's, letter was now thrice precious. lie hurriedly scroti nlzed it and at once commenced to practice the words. "Devonshire" and "Sharpe" gave him the capital? Tor '"Dear Sirs.! He was

Soon he framed a letter in the fewest word possible: Tours of today's date received. Kindly sell consols value 150,000 and place the same to mv credit He copied it again and again, until it was written freely and carelessly, and every letter available compared favorably with the orgiual in his possession. Then he posted it, thus saving a day. according to hia calculations. With this missive committed irrevocably to the care of bis majesty's malls, Victor Grenier'a spirits roue. N'ow, Indeed, he was in th whirlpool. Would he emerge high and dry in the Ei Dorado of glided vice which be longed to enter, or would fortune consign him to Portland again perehanve to the scaffold? He could not say. He would not feel safe until Philip Anson was a myth and Victor Grenier a reality, with many thousands ia the bank. Already be was planning plausible lies to keep Mason out of bis fair share of the plunder. A few more forged letters would easily establish the fact that be was unable to obtain a blgscr haul than. 6ay, 150,000. And what did Mason want with 2u.000? He was a gnarled man. with crude tastes. Twenty, fifteen, ten thousand would be ample for bis wants. The sooner be drank himself to death the better. With each fresh cigar Masou'a moie

ty shrank in dimensions. The murder was a ere affair of a vengeful blow, but this steady sucking of the mtlliouaire's riches required finesse, a dashing adroitness, the superb impudence of Cagliostro. But if his confederate's Interests suffered, the total fixed in .Grenler's orlginal scheme in nowise became affected. He meant to have a hundred thousand pounds, and be firmly decided not to go beyond that amount. Hia letter to the bankers named 150,000, and he calculated that by stopping short at two-thirds of the available sum he would not give any grounds for suspicion or persoual inquiry. - Yet he would shirk nothing. Mr. Abingdon and Miss Atherley must be avoided at all events. Others be would face blithely. He took care to have ever on the table in his sitting room a . goodly supply of wines and spirits. ' If any one sought au interview, it might fe helpful to sham a slight degree of intoxication. The difference between Philip drunk and Philip sober would then be accounted for readily. But rest tbat was denied biui. It was one thing to harden himself against surprise, quite another to forget that disfigured corpse swirling about in the North sea. He wished now that Philip Anson bad not been cast forth uaked. It was a blunder not to dress him, to provide him with means of identiflcntlon with some unknown Smith or Jones. w hen he closed nis eyes be could see s a shadowy form wavering helplessly in green depths. Never before were his hands smeared with blood. He had touched every crime save murder. Physically he w as a . cowurd. In plotting the attack on Philip be had taxed his ingenuity for weeks to discover some means whei-e he need not become Mason's actual helper. He rejected project after project. The thiag might be bungled, so be must attend to each part of the undertaking himself short of using a bludgeon. He slept again and dreamed of long flights through space pursued by de- ' mons. How be longed for dayl How slowly the hours passed after dawn until the newspapers were obtainable, with their columns of emptiness for him. A letter came from Evelyn. It was a trifle reserved, with an impulse to tears concealed in it: I asked mother for 30. so the Blue Atom incident has ended, but I don't think I will ever understand the mood In which you wrote your last telegram. Perhaps your letter now In the p-t I half expected it at midday will explain -matters somewhat He consigned Blue Atom to a sultry clime and began to a3k himself why Mr. Abingdon had not written. The ex-maglatrate's reticence annoyed him A letter even remonstrating with him would be gratef uL This silence was irritating: it savored of doubt and doubt was the one phase of thought be wished to keep out of Mr. Abingdon's mind at that moment As for Evelyn, she mistrusted even his telegrams, while a bank bad accepted his signature without reservation. He would punish her with zest Philip Anson's memory would be poisoned in her her.rt long before she realiriM . (Continued.) - How Cheap Is Your Soap?
