In What Watch?"

"There are signs that the accursed old system Is breaking up. signs on all sides. Reasonable persons haave long ago lifted up their eyebrows, and now are beginning to lift their voices. So the time may be coming wben they can lift their beads. It won't be yet; you and I may never see It." Maurice Hewlett.

But the time has, come now for reasonable people to take an accounting. The Issue has come down to a clear one.' For the first time In years the people in isolated patches of geographical territory have the chance to put Into tangible expression the things they have been feeling. It Is not many days to November the 8th.

People have been accustomed to regard the days preceding elections as "campaigns." Perhaps you notice something strange about this year. There is very little of the ordinary "campaign about this. People are talking little thinking much. It is hard to get an every day man to Indulge in the usual party clamor. The reason Is not strange this year the appeal goes beyond party beyond politicians It is a moral issue.

Men who have over and over again seen the workings of the bi-partisan machine and who have come to take its operation as a matter of course are suddenly brought face to face with some form if its workings which reminds them of the old days, in which one party was rebuked by a crushing election are over. We have seen the wholesale repudiation of one party followed by the wholesale repudiation of another and now that the thing has gone behind the parties and attacked the very thing which has corupted politics and parties there Is a clean cut Issue. A clean cut Issue? You do not see It? That Is not altogether strange in one way. Think who may be Interested in obscuring this matter that it may never come to your hands. Think how things have been managed in Indiana, lo, these years and years and ask yourself if you will be a party to It. For what after all will be the greatest gain of this election which ever way It goes will be the responsibility that goes with it. It is time that we all realized in more than the mere thought and word the connection that we all have with this state of affairs. It has been to a large extent our own fault. And we alone can right it.

Do you think this a curious thing to print In a campaign. There will be no names and no party ticket mentioned In this editorial. For two years since the last election this paper has steadily furnished both In its news and editorial columns information as accurate as we could at the time supply it. We have printed what has been going on. This is something very trite that we are saying something very general something like a commonplace. Yet those who read it will in their hearts know what we mean which Is the best proof In the world that you know already all that can be said In these last days. THOU SHALT NOT STEAL. THOU SHALT NOT COMMIT MURDER.' "A MAN TO WHOM THE TRUTH IS BLAZED ; AS CLEAR AS NOON GOES OUT INTO THE STREETS FILLED TO THE LIPS WITH HIS REVELATION.. SMUG CITIZENS AVOID HIM. PUT UP THEIR SHUTTERS. DOGS BARK AT HIS HEELS. THE RIBALD GATHER ONE THROWS A STONE." What part are you Individually going to play in the Third American Conflict? It Is told that the man who is most affected in this struggle is the one who will do the least In this year of the crisis because he can not see the real Issue. It Is said that he will put things of minor importance ahead of a rebuke to national dishonor and a furtherance of those who have fought his fight. We do not believe it. The people of Wayne and the adjoining countls are not Ignorant. It Is idle to predict. The only thing that can be done Is to tell men that they are responsible and that for years to come they will not have another chance to grapple with so large an' issue. If the light Is lost it will be a burning regret to men who awakened too late.

Russia Supplants Canada

as World's Field for Fur

Washington. Oct. 25. Customs re turns do not show the extensive fur trade carried on between Russia and the United States. As the business s nearly all transacted through Ger man and English commission houses, the sales and purchases are accordingly credited to Germany and England, says United States Consul General Snodgrass. For the last two centuries a trade tn furs has been carried on between Russia and the United States there having been an Interchange of purchases with the old Hudson. Bay company and with our marvelous growth In population and wealth the sales. Indirect, have Increased to very large proportions. London Is the largest and -most "important fur distributing point In the world, followed in their importance by Leipzig.' a large market for European. American and Asiatic furs; Nljnl-Novgorod. renowned for its yearly fair, annually visited by thousands of buyers and sellers from Europe and the United States; Irbit, also noted for its annual fur fair; Ha san, whose trade Is almost exclusively with the dealers from Siberia; Kiachta, near the Siberian-Chinese boundary, and Astrakhan at the mouth of the Volga, noted as the distributing point for Persian lambskins, gathered from Persia. Syria and Bokhara, and worn throughout the world. Tiflis, Kharkov, Baku and Archangel are also Important outlets for furs produced In their respective provinces. Chief Fur Produced.

ton, minever, rabbit and hare. Ermine Is the highest priced of all furs, and, although worn In general, is regarded as a "royal fur." It Is found only in the north of Russia and Scandanavla, the most excellent qua! Ity coming from Isrhim and BarabIrsk, Siberia. The ermine becomes pure white in winter in those snowcovered regions where if it retained its summer hue the fact would render it an easy prey to Its enemies. The tip oft the tail alone remains black. Trapping ermine Is carried on In win ter of necessity: In some localities they are shot with arrows in order to prevent the possibility of damaging the beautiful and costly coat. The skins rarely measure over a foot In length and are disposed of by trappers In lots of forty, known as "tmbers." Ermine and sable are also pop ular in Paris and In late years Ameri cans have been purchasing ermine, though sable Is still popular and will be difficult to displace in the United States.

Heart to Heart Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE,

Copy right, 1908, by Edwin A- Nye MY HOMELY SWEET HEART. My sweetheart is not prettyShe is rather plain of feature. Nor does she bother her very sensible head concerning her looks, excepting that she is dressed neatly and becomingly. But lay sweetheart has a way about her. She is a charming girl because she Is a gracious girl. So many pretty girls are apt to be capricious or exacting. They demand too much attention. They are "uncertain, coy and hard to please." My girl Is not that sort. She Is kind and patient and expects no more attention than .he 1 willing to give. And My sweetheart does not flirt. She knows .that .coquetry Is not her forte. She Is Just a straightforward girl and sweetheart. " She is thoughtful of others rather than of. herself and Is therefore genial and companionable aa Ideal chum. Let those who wish -run after the pretty faces. Beauty is only skin deep; graciousness Is soul deep. Let those who wish dance attendance on the handsome girls. I dote on the handsome ways of my plain girl. Her quiet sympathies, her helpfulness, her readiness to forgive, her hearty comradery, are more to me than mere symmetry of face and figure. Because she Is genuine and simple and sweet. , Being genuine, she uses no artificial manners to beguile; she Is just herself. Being simple and without guile, she never tries to deceive. And, being sweet, she cannot be otherwise. She Is not Improbably romantic after the manner of some. She Is not difficult to please. And she la always safe In counsel. What a wife she'll make! -She Is trustwo"rthy and dependable, my homely sweetheart. When she Is married to me I shall not come home to one who sighs for what might have been or Indulges Jn longings to be. understood." She is not built that way. she win iook ner amies zairiy . ... In the face and meet them cheerfully. My plain, bonny girl! As my wife she will not seek con quests abroad. Glorying In her home. she will wrap her gracious soul like a mantle about her husband and chil dren. Your pretty wife? I do not envy you. She may have the weakness of vanity and stumble over it or even fall. Pardon me, I said "may." So here's to my homely sweetheart! PAPA IST00 KIND New Reason Advanced and by a Woman at That, Why Divorce Is Common. OPINION OF MRS. GIBSON New York, Oct. 25. "Husbands are too kind to their wives. That Is the reason- so many wives are being driv en Into the divorce courts." Such is the paradoxical opinion which Mrs. Ida McGlone Gibson ex pressed in a, current magazine. "American homes are the happiest In the world," commented Mrs. Sona Loebinger, editor of the American Suffragette and leader of the militant advocates of votes for women. "The fact that any one in the Un ited States with a legitimate griev ance can get a divorce proves that the great majority who stay married are happy. Also, the majority of Ameri can women are devoted to the homes and housekeeping is not such a com plicated science that a girl can not master Us rudiments in a few weeks even If she becomes a wife without knowing how to make a cup of tea. "The trouble with many women is that they consider whatever they do are the most Important things on earth. I agree with Mrs. Gibson that it would be a good thing if mothers trained their daughters to a greater sense of responsibility. "The business manager of a home should have a fixed housekeeping allowance and more important still, she should have a fixed and adequate dress alowance sovshe will not be tempted to shave the grocery bill or cut down on the meat when she needs a new hat or a pair of shoes. "There Is a certain class of professional man whose wife has to be extravagant. It Is not ethical for doctors, lawyers, or even brokers of the best standing to advertise. But they can and do convert their wives into walking advertisements." Frisbie Collaffs Not one bub ke one collar for Autroxrvn. Lets your scarfwKuk; xvoluvob Rtmpexix.
