Up to County Board

General Manager Todd of the Terre Haute, Indianapolis and Eastern Traction company is to be "called on the carpet" by the Wayne county board of commissioners to explain what his company intends to do with its tracks on the National Road improvement, from West Fifth street to the Wayne-Center township line. If he cares to be bothered, perhaps Mr. Todd will answer the summons in person. He will be told by the commissioners, undoubtedly, that the company's tracks cannot be placed In the center of the road, and that they must be removed, as the specifications require, south of the south curbing. But the T. If. I. & E. has been told to do things before, both by Wayne county and the City of Richmond. In most instances the city and county government has had spine enough to compel the company to comply with the orders given it, but the company has always taken its own sweet time in obeying the edicts served upon it. In the first place it was an outrage to permit the company the use of the National Road as a right-of-way. It has made the highway dangerous to farmers and others driving along It. But the company, not satisfled with this valuable gift, now virtually demands the exclusive use of the road in Wayne township, by its petition to place the tracks in the center of the road. It is to be hoped that the county commissioners will, without hesitancy, flatly refuse this petition and. if this grasping and niggardly corporation pouts over tho rebuff and adopts dilatory tactics In removing its tracks south of the south curbing, as the specifications require, the commissioners should adopt drastic measures, and promptly, to compel Ihe observance of its orders. National Road property owners and residents want the improvement completed as soon as possible and they will resent any action on tho part of tna traction company that would tend to delay this work.

JOHN A. MEAD.

John A. Mead, governor of Vermont

was born at Kalrhaven, Vt., April 20, 1841, and In early childhood became

an orphan. Aa a youth he worked at

odd Jobs and saved money enough to

enable him to enter Franklin academy.

Later he entered Middlcbury college

and was graduated In 164. In 1S68

he graduated from the Columbia med leal college ad for three years follow

Ing was a physician at the Brooklyn City hospital. In 1870 Gov. Mead resigned his position with the hospital and returned to Rutland, where he

started the practice of medicine. Lat

er he embarked in business as a scale manufacturer in Rutland and tn the course of years accumulated a large fortune. His public career dates from

1892. In which year he was elected a member of the Vermont senate. Four

years later he returned to the legisla

ture as a representative and in 1908

he was elected lieutenant governor of

Vermont on the Republican ticket

Last year he was the choice of hls party for governor of the state and was elected for the term ending Octo

ber of next year.

The Mexican Situation

The situation in Mexico must be as great a perplexity to Congress as It Is to President Taft. It Is Congress, however, that must act if a single United States soldier Is to be ordered Into Mexican territory. If it is assumed that invasion might load to war, the President is on good constitutional ground when he declines to assume any responsibility in the premises. He went as far as he could when he mobilized a division of the army at San Antonio to await developments in Mexico. Happily the emergency of calling upon the government of President Diaz to prevent combatants in the field from firing across the line and killing and wounding American citizens did' not arise before the assembling of congress. It created a delicate situation, presenting problems that no president would care to deal withon his own responsibility. International law affords little light on the subject. Casualties among the people of a friendly state as a result of conflict between government troops and insurgents on the soil of another state have not been of common occurrence. Moreover, in this case there is reason to fear that relations with Mexico, unless its federal government acts vigorously and effectively, will become more strained by repetitions at other places on the border of what happened at Douglas. The situation, therefore is one with which congress should deal in the Interests of the people of the United States and with full knowledge that intervention in Mexico for any purpose, however pacific and humane, might lead to a protracted and costly war with that country. Senator Stone's resolution directing the foreign relations committee to report on conditions in Mexico and make "such recommendations as the committee may deem advisable respecting the duty of the United States in the premises" is timely, and action should be taken on it without delay for the enlightenement of congress, which needs undisputed facts and precedents in international law to- guide it. In the meantime it would be well for congress to weigh Mr. Taft's reasons, contained in his dispatch to Governor Sloan of Arizona, for not using his authority as commander-in-chief of the army to order troops across the border to act as police. "If I take this step," said Mr. Taft, "I must face the possibility of resistance and greater bloodshed, and also the danger of having our motives misconstrued and misrepresented and of Inflaming the Mexican popular indignation against many thousands of Americans now in Mexico and jeopardizing their lives and property. The pressure for general Intervention under such conditions it might not be practicable to resist." As the consequences would probably be grave, the greatest selfrestraint must be exercised on this side of the border. Mr. Taft's dispatch is a document to be pondered in the soberest spirit.

OLD PEOPLE

Made Strong by Vinol. A prominent Boston lawyer says: My father is eighty years of age and

he owes his present strength and good health to Vinol.

"During the last two trying winters

he never had a cold, and was able to walk farther and do more than for years.

"I think Vinol is perfectly wonder

ful. It certainly is the greatest bloodmaking and strengthening tonic for

old people I ever heard of."

We wish every feeble old person in

this vicinity would try Vinol on our agreement to return their money if it fails to give satisfaction. Leo H.

One of the most interesting and in

structive lectures of the year was given this morning at the Earlham col

lege chapel by William K. Dodd, professor of American history at the University of Chicago. The professor took

for his subject the friendship existing

between Jefferson Davis, president of

the Confederacy, and Robert J. Walk

er, tho "wizard of Mississippi poli

tics," during the few years preceding the Civil War. He showed that their

friendship, arising out of the political

situation in Mississippi and extend

ing to the state legislature, to the United States Congress, and to European diplomatic circles was the means

of Davis's political advancement. The

breaking of this friendship and the

tragic end of both men formed a topic which the speaker dwelt upon in full. Prof. Dodd was the guest for the day of Prof. Harlow Lindley.

VIOLETS IN PARKS Columbus, Ind., April 20. Mayor

Charles S. Barnaby, of this city, who is a native of England, thinks he can can persuade lillies-of-t he-valley and

English violets to grow wild in Bar

tholomew county. At any rate he is going to experiment with these flowers In the woods near this city, and if

his experiments are successful the expensiv hothouse violets may be had for the picking hereafter.

Mayor Barnaby is a florist by pro

fession and has extensive greenhouses

here. He says that around his old home in England, the scented English

violets and lillies of the valley grow in profusion. The climate is a little more Bevere here than it was near his English home, but he believes there is enough ported Ion in a woods to keep these flower from freezing. Accordingly, he will set out a large number of English violets and lillies-of-t he valley and will see is they will thrive in a wild state.

The announcement that Mrs. Chaun-

cey M. Depew is endeavoring to start

a movement against dary songs and ragtime music, in the hope of being ablo thereby to revive the bard is or troubadour music associated with the song and story of Europe, has caused considerable comment in music circles.

JaiesYille Com Planters Machines That Come Nighty Near Thinking

o a

Mr. Farmer: If you never saw a Janesville No 5 Corn Planter in action, you've to witness one of the most wonderful tools that human ingenuity ever devised to help the farmer secure better results. It does what no other planter today can do drops 2, 3, or 4 kernels to the hill, just as the soil appears to call for it. Think what this one exclusive Janesville feature means in the way of a more even growth and better crops. And this quick change from 2 to 3 or 4 kernels is made simply by touching a small hand lever without stopping the machine, withouf leaving your seat or changing the plate. And besides this, it will do all that any other planter will do. It will hill or drill. It is furnished with convertable drop, (edge or flat). Three plates for checking and 18 variations providing for every possible condition of seed and soil. And there are other features in the Janesville choice of shoe, stub, or disk runners on the same machine; automatic distribution of the wire on reel while winding up; fertilizer attachment, etc. Isn't this the corn planter you've been looking for. You can't afford not to investigate this ma- , chine. THE VARIABLE DROP DEVICE This quick change of the number of kernels to the hill 2, 3, or 4 is effected very simply by operating a small hand lever within easy reach, the operator sets the clutch so as to turn the seed shaft one-sixth, one-fourth or one-third of a revolution, giving 2, 3, or 4 kernels to the hill. This last great improvement in Janesville Corn Planters ensures greater uniformity of crops, besides economy in seeds, because it provides absolute control of distribution according to the characters of the soil. Of course, greater uniformity means a larger yield per acre. Unlike most of the machines that are now being offered to the trade, the Variable Drop device on the Janesville Corn Planters is not an experiment. We are among the very first to develop anything of this kind and our device has been thoroughly tested and found practicable for two reasons. QUICK CHANGE FROM HILLING TO DRILLING Through our improved construction it is possible for the operator to change from a hill to a drill drop without leaving his seat or even without stopping the team. We place a combined foot drop and drill drop attachment to the rocker shaft which enables the operator, by simply pressing this lever by the center, to lock the valves in the planter open and throw the clutch into gear so it will run continuously and. of course, drill. NO MIXING THE HILLS The valves on the Janesville Planter are so placed that there is no possibility of mixing the hills. The upper valve is located so close to the seed plate that it cannot get out of time, and the lower valve is so constructed that it can free itself readily from dirt or trash that may get into it. The valve movement ensures your being always in check whether you drive fast or slow, and the rows will be straight. The force feed takes care of the increased momentum in fast driving. THE JANESVILLE EDGE DROP PLATE Is so perfect in Construction as to permit of the planting of round kernels and to prevent their accumulating in the bottom of the seed can. In all other styles of edge drop planters these round kernels accumulate and interfere with the accuracy of the drop. In the Janesville by enlarging the opening where the seed Is discharged from the plate. e enable the round kernels to lodge in the cells and when they come around to .the opening, to drop through. In other edge drops they prevent the cells filling but cannot themselves pass through. FROM EDGE TO FLAT DROP Shelled corn bought for seed is usually high priced and the waste of even a kernel is naturally avoided. The sorting of it is a very difficult and tedious operation and the farmer frequently does not care to spend time on it. To meet these and other conditions, the Janesville Corn Planter may be used with a flat drop plate for unselected seed. The kernels of corn are placed flatways in readiness to pass through the seed ceUs, and, as the plates are thin, usually one kernel is held at a time in a cell, and for unsorted or mixed corn a high degree of accuracy is obtained. Thus by a mere change of plates the Janesville Corn Planter is converted from an edge drop to a flat drop machine. You have in one machine two devices to meet varying conditions. The Janesville is virtually two machines. ACCURATE CHECKING The hill drop is executed with the highest degree of accuracy. Uneven travel of the team has no effect in producing imperfect checking. Go slow, go fast it makes no difference, as it is an absolute impossibility, with our sliding plunger valves, to mix the hills or dribble the corn between them. REMOVE PLATES AT BOTTOM The seed cans are removable and the plates are put on or taken off at the bottom of them. This simple method of exchanging the plates docs away with the necessity of emptying the seed cans. The cans al&o cannot be put on the machine out of time. This is a patented feature of our own. WIDTH ADJUSTABLE The regular planter is adjustable in width and will plant the rows from S feet 4 inches, 2 feet 6 inches to 3 feet S inches. However, on special orders we can make the planter any width between 3 feet and 4 feet. Every Planter Fully Guaranteed to Do Just What We Claim and to Give Satisfaction J(Dies Eardware CdDo
