ASK STATE PRIMARY Both Write Letters to Senator Kern, Which Will Be Read At Indiana Democratic Banquet. IS SETTLED PRACTICE Secretary of State Also Favors Initiative and Referendum, As Two Big Reform Measures. WASHINGTON, March 18. That President Wilson and officers of his administration have taken a hand in the Indiana political situation became known today when a letter that the president has written to Senator Kern was made public at the white house. In this the president advocated a state-wide primary in the Hoosier state. The letter will be read at the Democratic state convention in Indianapolis on March 19 by Senator Kern. "I have noticed with unusual interest, wrote President Wilson, "your interview the other day about the absence of a law for state-wide primaries in Indiana. I was very much surprised to learn that so great and wideawake state was so far behind the procession in a matter of such capital importance and I want to express my deep interest in your effort to bring about the necessary legislation. It vould hearten Democrats everywhere to see this done by Indiana." Senator Kern also received a letter from Secretary of State Bryan endorsing state-wide primaries and the initiative and referendum. "I earnestly hope that your state convention will declare for a statewide primary election law," wrote Secretary Bryan. "The primary has liocome a settled practice in almost all the states. And is destined to be the settled practice of all states. It would be a reflection upon the intelligence of the voters of Indiana to say that they are not as capable of dealIns with their own affairs as the voters of other states. It is no more necessary for them to select delegates to think for them than it is for the people of other states to think and act. directly through delegates. And the same may be said in regard to the Initiative and referendum, those two reforms generally going together because the same principal underlies both" Hear Rev.

High School Discussion League

At an informal meeting held at Indianapolis during the state teachers' association it was decided by those present, representing a number of the high schools of the state, to organize a State High School Discussion League. The plan tentatively agreed upon was to hold conteets by counties and Congressional districts and to have a final state contest at Indiana university Some time in 1914. One representative from each congressional district will compete in the final. In form the contest is understood to be neither oratorical nor debating but to be a discussion. The topic chosen is "New Constitution for Indiana." This system contemplates that the speakers engaged in the various discussions preliminaries, locals, finals will attack the topic on proposition from the point of view which appeals to each of them individually. It is expected that each speaker will form some positive conviction concerning the topic and that in his main speech of ten or twelve minutes in length, he will present a contention or view which he must maintain against all comers. In doing this he will be under the necessity, of overthrowing and discrediting all 'arguments and contentions contrary to his opinion, and to solidly sustain his own position. Following the constructive speeches will be short rebuttal speeches in the same order. The public discussions bureau of Indiana university extension division offers to furnish material without expense. To this end a bulletin or manual on "New Constitution for Indiana" is being prepared. This system of contest is simple and direct, emphasizing originality and individual merit. The civic training offered will be readily appreciated. The question of calling a constitutional convention to write a new constitution for Indiana in 1915 will be voted upon independently in .the regular November election, 1914. It may be generations before such another opportunity arises for the concrete development of sincere civic character in conjunction with academic culture and scholastic ontest. J. S. Johnson of the Shelbyville high school has been selected as chairman of the Sixth Congressional district. He is anxious to have every high school in Wayne county enter the county contest. Principal F. G. Pickell is the Wayne county chairman. Let every one of the high schools send a letter to Prof. Pickell, Richmond, Ind, and one to

ed superiority, at a mere fraction of the high cost of prepared articles which are never so effective. Miss Held cannot undertake to answer correspondence by mail, but you will likely find below an answer to the very question you have in mind.

MISS SCRAGGLY Falling hair means, of course, a gradual dying away of the hair roots. This is evidenced by the wisps of hair which come out in combing or brushing the hair. The hair roots must be stimulated, and I know of no better treatment to make hair actually grow than a mixture of one ounce of beta-can-thol, half a pint of alcohol and half a pint of water, or else one full pint of bay rum instead of the alcohol and water. There is nothing so effective in forcing hair to grow. You will never want to use anything else once you experience its splendid results. PINAFORE Use as little soap as possible on your hair. It nearly always leaves a soapy film on the hair and scalp which no amount of rinsing will prevent. This together with dust and dirt clogs the pores which makes one wonder why soap ever is used at all. Use a teaspoonful of eggol dissolved in a cup of hot water and use ns a shampoo. As a cleanser, rich, lathory shampoo, and dandruff remover, it is unexcelled by any article known for this purpose. MISS O. R. T. -It is no exaggeration to say that any woman, even she who is afflicted with a coarse, mannish complexion, may transform her skin into one resembling the petals of a rose, exquisite and spotless in its purity. In a pint of water, dissolve two tablespoonfuls of glycerine and one ounce of amarol. This cream i must be applied generously every day. Gradually freckles and that spotty unevenness called "muddiness" will give way to a lily-like purity which is adorable. As a skin beautifier, its equal is not known. c

CYNOSURE APPEARS The first issue of the Cynosure, tho bi-monthly publication of the Richmond high school, was put on sale today. New items, advertising, art, and jokea are all incorporated in the eight paper minature press report. The paper carries sporting, oratorical, editorial and news items. The make-up and printing of the paper is in the hands of the printing department, in charge of Charles Towle, instructor. The first issue numbers 650, which is a record sale for a high school edition of any nature. Indigestion Overcome Overcome by Simple Remedy. Hurried and careless habits of eat ing, irregular meals and foods that do not harmonize, tend to weaken j the digestive organs and result in different forms of stomach trouble. If you are one of the unfortunates who have drifted into this condition, eat simple foods only, slowly, regularly and take Vinol, our delicious cod liver and iron tonic. Mrs. H. J. Smith, Thomasville, Ga., says: "I suffered from a stomach trouble, was tired, worn out and nervous. A friend advised me to take Vinol. My stomach trouble soon disappeared and now I eat heartily and have a perfect digestion and I wish every tired, weak woman could have Vinol, for I never spent any money in my life that did me so much good." The recovery of Airs. Smith was due to the combined action of the medicinal elements of the cods' livers aided by the blood making and strength creating properties of tonic iron, which are contained in Vinol. We will return the purchase money every time Vinol fails to benefit. Leo II. Fihe, Druggist, Richmond, Indiana. T S. Our Saxo Salve stops itching and begins healing at once. ( Advertisement

Advice to

Beauty Seekers

The formulas given here by Miss Anna Held cover every important factor in the acquirement of beauty. These formulas produce unusual results. They are extremely economical; you mis them at home, and you then obtain an article of unquestion MISS BERMCE W It is foolish to cut, or to shave off superfluous hairs. It makes them grow that much faster, and bristly hair on a woman's face is not a pleasant sight. The best way is to use powdered delol. The article ycu mention should not be used under any circumstances, any more than any of the usual superfluous hair removers advertised. Delol, on the other hand, is always effective and never leaves irritation or reddened spots where applied. MRS. T. R. O A difference of years in your appearance will be the result of this recipe if you use it faithfully and very liberally. You can mix it at home yourself in a few minutes, and it will cost you far less than the creams usually recommended for this purpose and which really do little good. Try this and you will see results in a very short time. Simply mix together two tablespoonfuls of glycerine, two ounces of cerol, and a pint of hot water. When cool it is ready to use. ELSIE M. R. Much popular doubt prevails as to the possibility of developing the bust. This arises from the fact that, so many methods have been advocated which are scientifically of no value or effect. No external application, massage, appliance or cream will ever produce the desired result. The oniy method worth trying is the famous Vaucaire formula. This is a perfectly harmless treatment, and reliable. Make up a mixture of one-half pint of water, one ounce of gallol and half a cup of sugar. Dissolve thoroughly and take two teaspoonfuls after each meal and at bedtime. ' fl v.Tt :scraon tl Office 700 Sheridan St. per Doz.

Section 2561 R. S. 1908 provides that whoever not having the legal qualifications of a voter, votes or offers to vote at any election authorized below, shall be fined not more than $500 nor less than $10 and imprisoned in the county jail not more than one year nor less than one month and disfranchised and rendered incapable of holding any office of trust or profit for any determinate period. The next section provides the same penalty for any person voting or offering to vote in a precinct except the one ia which he resides. Section 2563 provides a penalty of not more than $1,000 nor less than $50 and imprisonment in the state prison not more than five years nor less than one year and disfranchisement to any person who votes more than once at any election. Section 2565 provides the penalty above for anyone who hires or solicits any person to come from any state into a different state or to pass from any county to another county or any townhip to another township or any precinct or ward into another precinct or ward for the purpose of voting when such person is not a legal voter in such county, precinct or ward. Section 2567 provides a penalty of not more than $1,000 nor less than $300 and disfranchisement for any person who bribes or attempts to bribe a voter at any such election. The law regulating local option elections makes all these penalties applicable to such elections.

THE SALOONS OF RICHMOND. Even granting all the liquor interests say in their advertisements about some of the saloons of Richmond, and we do not

admit the truth of it by any means, they fall down completely in their argument so far as a number are concerned scattered about the city. A chain is not stronger than its weakest link and the saloon system of Richmond is no better than its so-called worst saloons, especially when there are so many in this latter class. But the anomalous thing about the saloon is that the best saloon is the worst. Despite all the liquor sophistry which is being poured out in the advertising columns, the youth of any city nine times out of ten learns to drink in the so-called best saloon. No boy from a good home is going to begin in the dive or the blind tiger. He visits the so-called respectable place first, and the dive where every form of corruption and debauchery is manifested is simply the lag end of a system whose whole tendency is downward. NOT A QUESTION OF RESPECTABILITY. We repeat again that the issue in Richmond is not a question of the respectability of our saloons or the question whether they are law-abiding or not. The more respectable they are, the more law-abiding they are, the more tempting they are to our youth, and when the habit of saloon visitation is once formed, far too large a proportion go to destruction for a civilized community like Richmond to perpetuate these sources of a debauched life any longer. The issue in Richmond is the Question of the sale of liquor and all the evils which go with it. It is the saloon the people are after, whether it is the law-abiding saloon, the lawless saloon, or the blind tiger saloon. Each and all of these are centers of iniquity, which a highly civilized community can no longer perpetuate by its own consent. Each one of these is a drain upon the moral life, the home life, the social life, the business life as well as upon the tax payers of the entire community. Whether our saloons be palaces or whether they be dives, they are too great a liability to a community like Richmond for them to be perpetuated longer. The testimony of other cities which have become dry is overwhelming proof of the fact that the banishment of the saloon has brought a new era of prosperity and general

uplift to these communities and municipalities. Theory tan never stand in the face of experience. The liquor men are talking theory in their advertisements, which the facts and the testimonies from other dry towns disprove overwhelmingly. This is a truth which the citizens and tax payers of Richmond must not overlook. AN APPEAL TO REASON. "You Can't Fool All the People All the Time." One of the foundation principles of popular government is that you can trust the mature and experienced judgment of the common people. Lincoln believed that a government of the people, for the people and by the people ought to be so securely founded that it would not perish from the earth. He believed that while "you can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, you can't fool all the people all the time." In the midst of the conflicting arguments, facts, and testimonies in regard to the effect of voting out the saloons, it is a good thing to take our bearings and shape our course by the great fundamental principle of democracy: trust in the common-sense and matured judgment of the people. We who have lived in "wet" cities know of the evil influence of the saloon. We are told by saloon advocates that if we vote out the saloons we will make things worse and not better; that it will increase taxes, destroy business, debauch morals, let blind tigers run rampant, and increase the sale of worse whiskey. The only sure way to find out if these things are true is to ask the people who have tried it. You will find men who will tell contrary stories about the same "dry" cities. You will find here and there a "dry" city where the law is flagrantly violated. You will find now and then a city that has been "dry" and gone "wet" again. Rut if you turn to the judgment of large sections of the country extending over considerable periods of time, you will find that the judgment of the people is that "dry" conditions are preferable in the long run with all the actual drawbacks. You can trust the mature j udgment of the people. AN EXPERIENCED VERDICT. The experience of the South with "dry" territory began some twenty-five years ago. They began cautiously with townships, not at all sure of the results. But experience brought confidence and "dry" townships grew into counties. The Southern people liked the results enough to keep them and extend them. The result after twenty-five years of growing experience is that today there

are six entirely "dry" states in the South: North Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, Mississippi, Arkansas and Oklahoma. The other Southern states are so largely "dry" that there are more saloons in the one city of New York than in the many states south of Mason and Dixon's Line. Now if conditions had been generally worse as a result of prohibiting the open saloon, if business and morals had suffered usually and if taxes and the illegal sale of liquor had increased, would the Southern people, struggling to recover from the depression of the Civil war have kept on with the "dry" movement? You can trust the experienced erdict of a whole people. The temperance movement has been in progress in the North for from twenty to fifteen years, not counting the earlier experience of Kansas and Maine. There are now four entirely "dry" states in the North: Maine, West -Virginia. Kansas and North Dakota. There is not today an entirely "wet" state, and one fourth of all the saloons in the United States are crowded into six Northern cities. If the dire results had generally followed voting out the saloons that have been uniformly predicted by the "wets", would the people of the North have kept on with the policy? Summing up the experience of the whole country, ten out of forty-eight states are wholly "dry." Ten other states are more than ninety per cent "dry." Ten others are more than eighty per cent "dry." More than seventy per cent of the whole territory of the Union is "dry" and more than half of the total population lives in "dry" territory ; and what is most important they like it so well that they are keeping it that way. and their neighbors are yearly liking the way they look so well they are willing to try it. "You can't fool all the people all the time." CANNOT FOOL UNCLE SAM. You can't fool your Uncle Samuel, either. However much the people may tolerate graft and inefficiency in city government, and wink at the pork barrel and "back-scratching" in Congress, the people demand of the public sen-ice of the United States government the highest efficiency. They demand that Uncle Sam give the best service without graft or waste or inefficiency. The mail service, the mint, the army and navy the Indian and irrigation service, the Panama Canal and Alask'a must be cared for in the best way. In order to make good in these lines of public service the government has had to drive out the saloon and its products. The saloon has been abolished by the Federal (iovernment from the Capitol at Washington, from the White H;se. from the Old Soldiers' Homes, from the army posts, from the men of war in the navy, from the Indian Reservations, from the Panama Canal Zone, and from Alaska. Intoxicating liquors have been forbidden the use of the mails and the parcel post and have been prohibited from interstate traffic if destined for "dry" territory. All the "dry" territory' was once "vet." The people of these sections have tried both ways of dealing with the .-aloon and their present condition is the deliberate result of their experience. With trifling exceptions the "wet" sections have known only "wet" conditions. Their remaining "wet" up to date means only, therefore, that they are ignorant of a better condition through inexperience. You can trust the experienced judgment of more than half our people and safely vote dry. SOME MORE LIQUOR SCARECROWS. In their advertisement the liquor men set up a scarecrow about fifty-six buildings being left empty if the saloons are voted out. Experience, almost universal, about which we have offered abundant testimony, is to the effect that saloon buildings do not remain vacant very long. The money let loose in the different lines of trade soon develops other business interests which take their place. This statement of the liquor men about empty buildings is a scarecrow that will fool nobody who will study the facts which we have been presenting and which we will present later on. This same advertisement talks about bringing down the total of taxable property. On the contrary, the evidence is conclusive which we have been presenting from various dry cities, that when the saloon is removed hundreds of families begin to accumulate property who never were tax payers in all their lives before. By this means the assessment is not only kept up, but actually increased. They talk about exchanging a certainty for an uncertainty. But the testimonies elsewhere show that there is no uncertainty about the prosperity that follows the abolition of saloons. Remember that with the saloons voted out the $215,000 which the saloons say are now paid out by the saloons to the Richmond public, will grow into $600,000. which will go to increase our volume of business in every other line, our bank deposits and our real estate investments. In other words hundreds of families will become property owners, which now are a liability upon the community. As a business proposition, a moral investment, or an economic benefit the saloons of Richmond, as well as of every other city are absolute failures.
