WILSON MAY COME TO WAYNE COUNTY TO SUPPORT GRAY Democrats Believe He Could Hold Votes of Other Par- ' ties for Congressman From Sixth. Members of the Wayne county Democratic organization have been made very happy by the information received from the state committee that there is a prospect of President Wilson delivering a few addresses in Indiana during the campaign next fall, and that in the event the president does come to Indiana one of the places he will be scheduled to visit is Richmond. For the past two or three years the Sixth Indiana district of which Wayne county is the largest unit, has been Democratic by a large plurality, but normally the district is not Democratic. This year Democratic leaders realize they are in danger of losing the bulk,' if not the entire non-Democratic victories in recent years. The cause for this is a general dissatisfaction with business conditions by the wage earners and business men, and the dissatisfaction of the farmers with the new tariff law. If Finly Gray, the Democratic congressman is to be re-elected Democratic leaders realize that heroic efforts must be put forth or the Sixth district will drop out of the Democratic column. Therefore nothing will please them more than to have President Wilson make an address in Richmond next fall. They believe he would be the means of holding hundreds of prospective deserters in line. Dislike Mr. Gray. Unsatisfactory business conditions end the objectional tariff law are not, however, the only obstacles in the path of another Democratic victory in the district at the November elections. Mr. Gray himself is really a handicap to hia party. There are many Democrats and voters affiliated with other parties who in the past have support

ed him, now lined up against Mm because of his demagogic actions in congress principally his action in opposing a congressional wedding gift to one of the president's daughters. Trifling as this may seem to be there is no doubt it has cost him scores of votes, disgusting many men who are sick at heart with political chicanery. Another and disquieting obstacle in the pathway of a Democratic victory is Elbert Russell, Progressive candidate for congressman. Mr. Russell, it is realized, is going to make a powerful campaign this fall and will receive the solid support of his own party, the anti-Gray element In the Democratic party and hundreds of Republicans who have flatly refused to Bupport the Watson-dictated candidate of their own party, P. J. Lynch. With the flgfct of their lives on their hands th6 Democratic leaders in the Sixth district are not going to bank too heavily on an Indefinite prospect of securing President Wilson for an address in Richmond. Plans are now In progress to send other heavy artillery into Wayne county next fall, for there is r.ot the slightest doubt that the largest unit in the district is to be the battle ground. Senators Shiveley and Kern will be called upon and it is known that Mr. Gray will devote most of his time in making a handshaking canvass of the county. The Democrats have secured head

quarters on tne second floor of the ;

Colonial building Seventh and Main streets, and the rooms will be ready for occupancy within a short time.

WAR WILL COST BILLIONS A YEAR

PARI8, July 31. The cost of a general war in Europe, involving eight of the mightiest powers, would be $19,755,625,000 a year, according to Dr. Charles Richet, statistician of the University of Paris. If such a war comes and lasts at least five years, as diplomats are certain it will do, the cost of the war, without Indemnity claims, would reach the amazing total of $98,778,125,000. These figures are based on the cost of a general war Involving only Germany, England, France, Russia, Italy,. Austria, Servia and Roumania. A war of this kind, it is feared, would not end In involving only the eight countries named, but would draw every European nation, large and small, Into the conflict and Increase the war cost far beyond the sum estimated for only seven powers.

The Pilot 60 finished first on the fcecond day of the endurance run out of Columbus, O., yesterday, with Russell Gaar of this city at the wheel, although the winner of the race has not been announced, due to the fact that the race was run under sealed rules. The rules, which were prepared by the A. A.

The other Pilot car, in charge of Hayes and Van Etten, maintained an average speed of twenty miles an hour the second day of the race.

Nath Edwards Writes

ECONOMY, Ind., July 31. Did you ever notice how thirsty a young man pets when there is a pretty girl at the house? It doesn't matter whether you carry ice water, buttermilk or lemonade to the field, that young man would rather walk a mile in the boiling sun to get a drink from the "Old Home'' pump, even if the water were milk warm, just so he gets a glimpse of the pretty girl. It is not only at one place that such fine tactics are worked but whenever there is a young man and a pretty young girl such a thirst will exist.

INCREASE SALARY OF RURAL CARRIERS

Orders from the postoffice department increasing the salaries of rural carriers at the local office from $1,100 to $1,200 were received this morning. Although the measure was passed by congress several months ago, the order from the postmaster general had never been issued. When it was received this morning Superintendent of Malls Handley was preparing to make out the vouchers at the old rate. All eight of the rural carriers are included in the raise.

OLD ROAD SYSTEM COSTS $2,000 EACH YEAUAYS JONES Supervisor Shows How County Pays More Auto License Than It Receives Tax in Return. At the cost of at least $2,000 a year, Wayne county is learning the lesson that the system of road improvement in this county is an obsolete one. Because the county maintains but 240 miles of gravel and macadam roads, its share of the automobile tax which was sent to the county treasury today, amounted to but $4,744.58. There are 742 miles of road in Wayne county but only 240 miles of it are counted in the allotment of the state auto tax, which is divided among the counties on the basis of one-third equal distribution, one-third in proportion to the number of automobiles

in the county and one-third according

to the number of miles of county roads. Wayne Below Average. The apportionment of the tax according to the miles of free turnpikes, is only $1,028.12 for Wayne county.

The average number of free turnpikes for each county in the state is almost 300 miles and Wayne county is much larger than the average county, and

consequently should have a much lar

ger mileage of free turnpikes. It was

estimated by County Treasurer Cham

ness thu morning that if the county

had control of at least 300 more miles

of road, its apportionment of the tax this year would be at least $6,500 and would easily pay for the improvement

on the roads for the year so that the

county would not only receive the benefit of having better roads but would also receive the beneit of getting a larger per cent of the automobile tax really due her. The total amount of tax received by the secretary of state from the automobile registration was $381,875.10. After the expenses of the office have been paid, it leaves $344,363.70 to be distributed among the counties in the manner described above. An important feature in connection

with this tax is that Wayne county pays to the state treasury $8,210.27 for automobiles In Wayne county and receives but $4,744, a loss of $3,565.69. If this loss were counted in figuring

the net loss to the county because it does not have a greater mileage of county roads, it would amount to over $5,000 annually. Favor County Plan. County Road Supervisor Jones said today farmers of the county are beginning to realize the great advantages of the county having charge of the roads instead of the townships. This is shown by the large number of petitions that have been presented to the county commissioners asking them to take over the township roads. A number of these roads have been taken over by the county during the past year and as a consequence the county has received a slightly larger proportion of the auto tax than it did last year but still not as much as it ought to. The advantage of the new plan to have all the roads under supervision of one man from the county instead of under the township trustees, is that through this means, the cost of improvement is distributed more evenly over the county. The corporations assist in keeping up the roads, while under the old plan, the corporation did not aid. A notable example of the injustice of the old system of township road supervision is that of Cambridge City, according to the road supervisor.

', There are only seven miles of county

roads in Jackson township while the corporation of Cambridge City has to help pay for all of the township roads in that township besides helping keep all the county roads. If a different system were used, the expense of keeping up the roads would be more evenly distributed. Trustee Porterfield, of Boston township, said today that several petitions are now being prepared in Boston township which will be presented to tue county commissioners within the next few weeks, asking the county to take over twenty miles of road in that township. It is understood that similar petitions are being signed in other townships with the same purpose in view. "It is only a question of time when all the farmers in the county will come to Bee the advantages of the system of entire county supervision of the roads and then township roads will be a thing of the past. It is the only plan whereby a uniform system can be worked out," said Road Supervisor Jones.

GETS LOOSE CHANGE ON SLIDE STUNT A young man, whose name is apparently not known to his alleged victims, has departed Richmond after securing some loose change by means of an advertising stunt. The case was reported to the police by one merchant today. A program for two moving picture theaters was prepared by this young man. It contained several ads and the readers were supposed to guess who the firms were which were doing the advertising. After securing his money for the advertisements he had the program printed but so far has neglected to call for the programs. It is believed he has left the city.

NEEDS IH BRIDGES County Could Use 100 More Arches.

The county is in need of at least 100 bridges, according to Road Supervisor Jones, who has compiled statistics on road conditions in the county. At the present time there is a total of 2,358 bridges in the county but there still remains a large number of places where roads should be built to prevent washouts in the future. Statistics compiled by the road supervisor show that there are 740 miles of road in the county, thirty of which have not been improved. All the highways which have not been improved have been neglected by the township trustees. There are 946 culverts in the county and 134 concrete arches. There are also 881 sewers.

Suggestive Questions on Sunday School Lesson

DRAFTS ROAD PLAN Tax Committee Discusses Three-Mile Law.

Bartenders in San Francisco are conducting a campaign for one day's rest in seven, and in many instances their request has been granted.

Recommendations relative to the application of the three-mile road law in this county, were prepared by the taxation committee of the Commercial Club to be presented at the regular meeting of the club next Monday evening. The details of the plan as proposed were not made public by the committee, but definite action will be taken by the Commercial club in recommending to the county commissioners what should be done with future petitions for the construction of roads in the county. One of the plans being considered by the taxation committee is to present the matter to the voters at the next regular election and to have them decide on what roads are to be improved instead of relying upon the petition of a certain group of property owners who would be directly benefitted by the improvement.

SPREADER PLEASES IN DEMONSTRATION

ISSUES CHALLENGE

EATON, O., July 31. The baseball team at Campbellstown, west of here, has openly challenged any team in Preble county. The aggregation claims to hold the county championship, but is willing to relinquish its hold if it can be beaten by a team composed of purely county material. Herman Ashinger is manager of the team.

The demonstration of the wide spread manure spreader, conducted yesterday afternoon by the McConaha company on the J. L. King farm, northeast of Centerville, was well attended by farmers living in that neighborhood. The farmers present expressed themselves as being favorably impressed with the machine. The large number present at the demonstration were for the most part, farmers who were attracted by McConaha's advertisement, which was run exclusively in the Palladium.
