GOfiDOH EtJOOflSOS LOW! Z AND GOODRICH If OPEN NOTE TO COUNTY VOTERS

J. B. Gordon, of Sioux City, la., has

! submitted the following: To, the Editor of The Palladium It did not need Mr. john M. Lontz's magnificent address of a few days ago In i Richmond to convince the voters that he is not a "pork barrel" politician, that if he were sent to Washington to . represent his district In congress he would not be a "rubber stamp" conj gressman In the hands of special prlv ! lieges. , Mr. Lontz's record as a successful manufacturer of goods sold In open competition in the markets of the f world and his desire to maintain and j augment his industry would be an ab

solute guarantee against two things; he would never give his support and his vote to any measures destructive of American Industries, nor would he give his voice and vote in support of any measure whereby a few privileged interests were permitted to explolt the smaller, Independent Indus-

tries. Praises Lontz's Record. Mr. Lontz's record as an upstanding, j outspoken, independent business man Is a guarantee that he, would never I stoop to wear the yoke of a party I boss, never "swap" his vote, disgrace his intelligence and belie his years of : business practices by helping to put j over a lot of crooked appropriations or help to pass a lot of half-baked or privilege dictated legislation. There isn't any doubt in the minds of hii fellow townsmen but that, as congressman, John M. Lontz would carry his sovereignty under his hat and attempt to conduct public affairs as he conducted his business affairs. For fifty years the people have been putting men in congress for almost every reason than that they were qualified to assist in the management of national affairs. They have been selected because they were "good fel- ; lows," because they were eloquent orai tors, because they were chronic office holders who were given a Beat in congress to "round out' their career of living off the public; because they were "reliable party men" and could be depended upon to let some one else do their thinking; and for numerous other reasons that no manager of a store, superintendent of a factory or, railroad, president of a bank, or owner of a farm would ever accept in picking his assistants. Results of Mismanagement. f The result of this sort of national

mismanagement Is beginning to assert itself. The nation awakens during a crisis to find its house is not in order, to learn that.it is unprepared to meet either the crisis of war or the test of peaceful competition. It is not necessary to review the fact that notwithstanding more money has been appropriated in the United States in the last fifteen years for naval purposes than by any other nation in the world, excepting Great Britain, the navy in that time has declined from second to fifth; or that under the administration of the last fifteen years our military defenses have declined to where they are practically nil, and yet the per capita expense of our standing army is the highest in the world. Flag Is Stranger on Seas. After nearly half a century of peace, with insular possession and a larger coast line and more ports than, any nation in the world our flag is a stranger to the seven seas, and we are. wholly dependent upon foreign merchant vessels to carry the products of our factory, mine and farm to foreign customers. After firty years of a high protective tariff that was supposed to enable our manufacturers to capture foreign markets and protect American workmen, we awake to find that we have lost I not only foreign markets but the cutI ling off of manufactured imports by the war has paralyzed our own activl- ' ties, thus showing that our manufacI turers did not keep hold even of their ' own markets. i Protection for American workmen

has been a farce that amounts to a tragedy. Under the policies of the last fifty years the American laborer

1 has been driven out of Industry by the influx of cheap, illiterate foreigners, ! until today Americans are a rarity in many industries, and in twenty of the ; leading industries of the nation fori eign born, foreign speaking, unnaturalized workmen constitute over half the working force and they are work ing for wages and under conditions that the American could not accept and survive.

Syrup of Figs For Cross, Sick Feverish Child

If Little Stomach Is Sour, Liver Torpid or Bowels Clogged. " Mcthers can rest easy after giving "California Syrup of Figs," because in n few hours all the clogged-up waste, sour bile and fermenting food gently moves out of the bowels, and you have a well, playful child again. Children si mply will not take the tim" from r.lay io empty their b:wels, and t'-ey become tightly p. .eked, liver ge- sluggis. and stomach disordered. When cross, feverish, restless, see if tongue is coated, then give this delicious "fruit laxative." Children love it, and it can not cause Injury. No difference what ails your little ere- if full of cold, or a sore throat, diarrhoea, rtomachache. bad breath, remember, a gentle "inside cleansing" should always bo the first treatment given. Full directions for babies, children of all ages and grown-ups are printed on each bottle. . Beware of counterflet fig , syrups. Ask your druggist for a 50-cent bottle of "California Syrup of Figs," then look carefully and see that it is made by the "California Fig Syrup Company." We make no smaller size. Hand back with contempt any other I fig syrup.r Adv. ' :. ., , - ; , .

We have appropriated billions for internal improvements, and have nothing to show for the expenditure. We have spent millions upon public buildings where the business transacted does not pay for the upkeep. We have appropriated hundreds of millions for rivers and no commerce moves upon them. All of this because year after year the American -people have sent hack politicians and narrow partisans to congress to manage a corporation that requires over 11,250,000,000 a year in running expenses. Isn't it time to select business men who have made a success of their own affairs, to help administer the business of this country? Mr. Lontz is asking the privilege of being one of the managing directors of this nation's business, of having a voice and a vote in this critical epoch of our national history, in the guidance of our commercial and industrial affairs, in the amount of money that is to be expended and how it is to be expended. If Mr. Lontz's services as an active managing director were offered any commercial or industrial or banking institution of Richmond, would the stockholders reject his offer? Are not the stockholders in our national government as anxious to get such men and get rid of the drivelers who have brought the nation to its present estate of waste and inefficiency?

Speaks of. Goodrich. While upon the subject of business men in politics in the coming primary, J. would be less than fair if I did not speak a good word for James P. Goodrich, candidate for nomination for governor on the Republican ticket. Because he has always been active in politics, he has not been known to the public as a. successful . business man of many interests, and withal n clean business man who has honestly acquired his interests and honestly administered them. The public service corporations with which he is identified in this state and other states are models of efficiency, honestly financed and live up to the name of "public service" both in quality of service rendered and the rates charged. His private enterprises are similarly operated. It has been my good fortune to

have known personally "Jim" Goodrich

time I have been pretty familiar with ; J the ways of politicians and have seen ' much of the "inside" of legislatures, caucuses and conventions. I have nev- j f

elected governor, the people will have a business man ' in the state house who will economically and honestly manage the affairs of Indiana In the interest of the public, and especially the taxpayers on farm land and little homes in the city. No boss or coteri of bosses, or collection of private interests would run Indiana with Goodrich in the governor's office. Why shouldn't the people of Richmond and Wayne county live up to their nation-wide reputation of independent thinking and Independent voting, and vote for men this year instead of party labels, for business men instead of politicians, for general managers of public affairs, instead of office boys for private interests? J. BENNETT GORDON.

Hundreds of women have lately been realizing that their baking isn't so good as itJused to be. The bread bakes'heavy and' solid around the edges and it isn't so white nor so fine in texture as their bread used to be. And no matter

how careful they are, their cake and pastry just iw7"come out right", for

some reason or other. .. ,

Haven't you noticed the difference in your baking? Maybe you hadn't thought of there being any special reason for not getting good results; just thought it was a "run of bad luck"; but there is a reason, a reason that has nothing to do with your skill in baking.

Let us tell you what the trouble is.

Last season was the worst for wheat in fifty years. Wheat nearly all over America was badly damaged by too much rain. Sections that, in past seasons, grew the finest grade of wheat for flour making, had nothing but rain-damaged wheat to sell. Naturally, rain-damaged wheat doesn't make good flour; it hasn't strength and vitality, and the too-much moisture sets up a fermentation which spoils the rising qualities of flour made from this wheat. As an example of how scarce highgrade wheat is and how hard to get, we examined 300 cars of wheat in a single day and found only one carload containing the high quality wheat demanded for making Valier's Enterprise Flour. The moment we learned how exceedingly scarce high-grade wheat was, we sent our own men to every section of the country where any A-l wheat at all was grown, and paid premium prices to get it for our mills. Thus by foresight, prompt action and premium prices, uue got enough of the highest grade wheat, and, as a result, we can keep our flour up to the highest standard of quality. That's the reason why you'll find Valier's Enterprise one flour that now has the same high quality it has always had. Its quality has not been lessened one iota. The difference between Valier's Enterprise Flour and ordinary flour is great, even under normal conditions, but now the superiority of Valier's Enterprise Flour is more marked than ever.

If you want to make sure of getting good results from your baking whatever kind of baking

- ask your grocer for Valier s Enterprise Flour.

To maintain the high quality of Valier's Enterprise Flour costs us more money, naturally; and it costs you a few cents more per sack. But the far better baking results, the fact that you'll have no waste through baking failures, and the fact that you'll get more actual baking per sack than from an equal amount of ordinary flours, makes Valier's Enterprise Flour the most economical to use. For instance, a lady writes us, "I can get more loaves of bread out of a given number of pounds of Valier's Enterprise Flour than out of any of the many high grade flours that I have ever used and I believe I have tried them all.' Just once, won't you please insist on getting Valier's Enterprise Flour i We absolutely guarantee that it will make whiter, finer bread, better cake and pastry, and that it will go farther, pound for pound, than any flour you have ever used.

Put this flour to a testsack from your grocer today.
