TIFT IS NOT IN IT, SAYS F, K. LANDIS

Progressive Candidate Assails State Conditions and Makes a Plea for Remedial Changes.

i sublets this contract. After much vexjation of spirit we finally get about oneI third of the amount of tax that we i should obtain from the railroad." Taking up the subject of road bundling, Mr. Landis asserted that the roads which are being built in the ! state are worth very little. He said Ithat fourteen months after a road is ! built it needs repairing. "One mile of i good road built in a year is better ithan 100 miles built in a month." Mr. Landis then spoke on the free ! school book plank in the Progressive i platform. "The Indianapolis News," !he said, "that fountain of purity, ! sweetness and fairness says we have 'free school books in Indiana now. All we have to do is to go to the township trustee and get them. But do you think that the girl, whose mother washes for a living, could go to the trustee and ask for school books without feeling a sense of shame? The word 'pauper' burns on her cheeks when she asks for charity. We will place the poor man's children upon the I plane with the rich man's children in this respect. The court rooms should be temples iof justice, the speaker declared, in- : stead of check rooms for big interests. (Landis asserts that it requires too long to obtain justice in the courts. "In Ithat statement I am constitutional for :the state constitution says that jusjtice shall be speedy and without deSlay. Any court where a rig-picker canjnot secure justice in one year is nothing but a sham. Demands Reforms. "We are against child labor. We are for the minimum wage scale for women. We want the governor to investigate and peacefully settle labor troubles and disputes. We want a workingman's compensation act. These reforms are many but they are not experiments. "We want the women to vote. Some say they should not, but we know that they should be given the right to use the ballot. There would be mighty few churches, hospitals, orphans' homes and art galleries were it not for women. One hundred and fifty years ago the old fellows went to war with King George because they were taxed with out representation. Then after they licked George they gave the women the same thing that George gave them taxation without representation. "We're for honest protection. We're In favor of looking the trust question squarely in the face, because this has been played crouquet with long enough. Taft Not In It. "The only man who has a chance to ;win is Theodore Roosevelt. Taft is not jln it. He has not been in it for a single second since the descendants of jesse James held their family reunion at the Chicago Coliseum. Taft won't Scarry Ohio, he's lost Cincinnati, he 'won't carry his own ward or his own i precinct. These gentlemen who are ad

vising you to vote for Taft are asking ! you to put in a half-vote for Wilson. , "The only place Taft is putting up ia good race is on the billboards. He jis running second to Hood's SarsapaIrilla and third to Lydia Pinkham on

the billboards of the United States

and between him and Lydia, I'm for Lydia.

"Roosevelt has made mistakes but

those who talk about the mistakes he4

:has made are trying to prolong the I biggest mistake ever Taft. "Wilson has spent his life on a college campus. That is with the exception of two years as governor. He had the chance to stop the trusts but did not do so. He did nothing to the trusts In New Jersey where they keep the Incubator. As president then he would do even lss about one forty-eighth of nothing, according to simple arithmetic.

results in a seeming submission, even

after a period of rebellion. But a submission which is only silent resentment. A resentment that will culminate, later, in distorted character and misdirected action.

Nothing is sadder than to see the

gradual divestment of the exquisite charm of unspoiled childhood. And, in eight cases out of ten, this is due to unwise and wilful parental courses. As has been said here before, perhaps, it is the child's aesthetic appeal that constitutes its fascination. Children are all adorable curves and contours. Soft and beautifully tinted flesh. Pliable, finely spun and glinting hair. And always dewy, long-lashed eyes. We think it is the child's innocence, his unsophistication, his artlessness that delights us. But not so. We don't recognize the real reason. Because we do not know it. Always is humanity on the still hunt for beauty. Peering into every face, tearing the heart out of nature. It is Beauty we all subconsciously hunger for and unconsciously search for. The artist, to be sure, has this in its intensest form. It flowers and blossoms through his art. Its perfume is exuded through his masterly creations.

And its essence is heard and seen and felt through the medium of his aesthetic ministrations. There is nothing so elusive as the spirit of childhood. Some painters get it. Others not. It is superlatively translated by Robert Henri in a little picture at the current art exhibit, in the "Little Red Girl." While this is painted with all that technical abandon, if it might so be put, for which this artist is now and then distinguished and, which, at its apogee, lends itself superlatively to artistic expression, it is the human quality that holds in this presentment of a little girl. All the heart appealing pathos of the child all children peeps out through the eyes. The sweet timidity and the wonder of life. It is, indeed, a compelling picture. And as a work of art is striking in method, brush-work and handling of color. For its color is delicious and yet is laid on with no lavish hand. Its mechanics, in short, are reduced to the simplest dimensions, if it could so be put-

instance, the picture itself is badly composed. Or at least gives a chaotic effect, its parts not being harmoniously unified. Its figures have, however, more of a photographic than a painted effect. That is, their expressions are more fixed and give less the illusion of life. The latter is superlatively translated in "Off for School," by Janet Wheeler, an adorable study of two children, all coated and mittened ready for the start. Such a manly little boy is this protecting his little sister who stands confidingly near him and whose exquisite innocence is reflected In hef brother. Artistically it is a beautiful picture. A lovely tonal study. All warm reds and browns which melt into each other like the tones in an autumn landscape. Older children are those in Olive Rush's, "A Cornish Stile." a delightful little canvas of English children climbing a stile in Cornwall, full of the spirit of the out-of-doors, of movement and vivacity. It is admirably composed and full of effectively disposed color. But its charm lies in its interpretation of childhood the elder turning

jto help the smaller one; and the inde

pendence of the third of the group as it hops over the stile. Olive Rush is an Indiana artist who has achieved reputation, her first in-

I struction being taken under J. E. Bun-

dy at the time the latter had charge of a department of art in Earlham College. Miss Rush has, however, lived many years In the East. Comment on Miss Nourse'6 "The

The executive committee of the Commercial club, which is managing the membership campaign by which the club hopes to add 100 members to the roster, has issued the following reasons to the sub-committee to use in convincing a citizen that he should join the organization. Because he wants to make Richmond better and that is what the club is doing. Because he wants his name to be joined with 500 other Richmond business men to influence better conditions. Because the club stands for advance in Richmond's interest. Because he wants to become better acquainted with the other business men of the city. Because the club has splendid quarters which he may share. Because the club is continually advertising Richmond's business abroad. Because membership rosters are published and distributed by the club, thus advertising a man's business. Because he believes 500 of the best men of the city are a power for good and he wants to be with them. Because the club meetings, banquets etc., afford an excellent opportunity for meeting business men. Because his competitor belongs and he is as good a booster as his competitor. Because he has exchange of courtesies with clubs of other cities. Because by belonging to the club heis eligible to be a member of the Merchants' section. Because he wants to be a "Booster." Because he wants to assist in securing better street car service; more sanitary conditions; lower tax rates; more beautiful parks; more people making homes here; better building facilities; more factories; better railroad advantages; more interurban railroads; better insurance rates; fair

treatment for public service corpora-

tions; encouragement or our home industries: improvement of education work; more homes for Richmond; helpful state legislation and better

origin and within ten minutes the Rol

ler building on the south and the Kien-

zle building on the north were beyond saving, though the volunteer fire department worked with a vim and handled the new fire equipment well. A line of hose was run into the race which skirts the village on the north side and a stream of water was poured onto the burning structures, but to no avail. Realizing that to extinguish the flames that had gained such headway was out of the question the fire fighters devoted their work toward saving structures in close proximity and in this they succeeded. An hour after the discovery

of the blaze, the buildings enumerated above were entirely destroyed, only the bare and blackened walls of the Kienzle building remaining standing. The Kienzle building was one of the historic structures of the town. It was the first building of brick to be erected in Greensfork and seventy years ago was the place of business of Mark E. Reeves, who later became

one of Richmond's wealthiest men. While the fire was raging at its fiercest there were rumors circulated about the town that a "fire bug' had been at work and while no citizen could with certainty connect Cory with the act o f arson, there was no question that suspicion was directed at him and when Sheriff Steen had been communicated with and had reached the town, he was taken in

custody. Cory was burned out in the fire of three months ago and it was alleged at that time that the blaze's origin had been at the rear of tha room in which he occupied and which adjoined the drug store conducted by Wills. Once Attempted Suicide. Some time previous to the first fire, Cory had gained notoriety through an effort to end his life by shooting himself in the breast with a revolver. This act had followed his wife's separation from him. Since that time it is said that Cory had been despondent and by many persons it had been the belief that his domestic troubles had unbalanced his mind. There

could have been no motive of gain for Cory to have fired his business place for be carried no insurance, and the only explanation of such an act on his part, would be the charitable

view taken by some citizens of the

town that he is demented. However, there was nothing save the vague suspicions of citizens that connected Cory with the crime of arson, and there were those who believed this morning that the man would be able to show conclusively that he bad nothing whatever to do with the fire. The severe double dose of fire that Greensfork has suffered in such a

With Eczema. Watery Blisters. Disfigured and Sore. Could Not Put Them in Water, Cuticura Soap and Ointment Cured. Bt. Clair, Mo. "My trouble began about fifteen years ago. 1 1 was what some claimed eczema. The form the disease worked under

was a breaking out with watery blisters on my hands which would then dry and scale, and then would follow the trouble of cracking and bleeding, also itching and hurting. My hands were disfigured

at the time, and sore. The trouble was ' very

annoying, and disturbed my sleep. This last February it was ever so much worse than before. I did not do ail my work on account of the condition of my hands. I could not put them In water without making them worse. I tried a lot of home remedies, also salres and liniments that claimed to be a cure for the trouble, but I did not obtain a cure. "At last I taw the adTerttoment for Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I seat for a sample. I thought they would cure, so I sent for a fifty-cent box of Cuticura Ointment and some Cuticura Soap. A doctor adrlsed me to keep ahead with the Cuticura Soap and Ointment and they cured me completely. No trace of the trouble remains." (Signed) Mrs. Mary Taylor. Mar. 20, 1912.

My, What a Difference!

Between the Old Way and the New, of cleaning house! Not only in the ease but in the result. The old broom kicked up the dust but didn't clean. The Dust simply floated in the air awhile, then settled right back on to the floor, the furniture, into your hair, into your nose, throat and lungs. The tops of the doors and such places were seldom clean. Even scrubbing was not real cleaning, and dusting was nearly as' bad as sweeping. The New-Way is so much easier and so much better. Just push an O-Cedar Polish Mop over the floor. That's all there is to it. The floor is hygienically clean. Not a mere soap and water clean, but really clean, and polished too. No'dust, for the Mop absorbed all that. You don't wear a dust cap or old clothes when you clean the O-Cedar Polish Way. Sold Only by JONES HARDWARE CO.
