The Democratic Nominee In nominating Governor Cox for president the Democratic party organization selected a stronger candidate than had it nominated McAdoo. The latter's nomination would have made the outstanding issue in the campaign the question of whether or not the government of the United States was to become the heritage of the Wilson family. The number of ballots required in the Demo
cratic convention before McAdoo was finally beaten, the large number of delegates who stood by him to the end, are witnesses to the Wilson power In the Democratic organization. If a majority rather than a two-thirds vote of the convention delegates had been all thkt was necessary to nominate,, McAdoo would undoubtedly have been the victor. Governor Coxj despite a good record as governor of Ohio, stands an excellent chance of leading the Democratic party through a campaign of forlorn hope to defeat. The people have sensed the trend of government towards autocracy under Wilson and the Democratic party. They are still paying, and will continue to pay for years in high prices and outrageous taxes, for the unheard of extravagance and inefficiency of the present administration. Budding autocracy always links hands with radicalism. The present administration has been

swimming in deep waters and are making our way back to shore and safety.
Governor Cox as candidate for president falls heir to the effects of this trend, to the record of the Democratic party for extravagance, inefficiency and autocracy, and to the incubus of the party's most dominating force, Woodrow Wilson. This unhappy combination in all probability spells defeat for Governor Cox.

"WHEAT AND HAY ARE NOT HURT YET, BUT-" OPINION QF FARMERS
By WILLIAM R. SANBORN When a farmer starts cutting his wheat on Saturday and gets into his hay on Monday, it shows which needs
nrst attention. ims was tne case with Oran Caskey, on the Salisbury
oiaies sovenimem so rar as persons under jurisdiction of the military laws of the United States are concerned.
Jail Mismanagement in Indianapolis The escape of 24 prisoners from the Marion county jail seems almost incredible in view of the method used by the men to gain thejr freedom. That they were able to saw the bars of the cell without attracting the attention of the guards, a task that must have required at least a number of days, suggests rather forcibly that the authorities of the institution are lax in their watchfulness. Following only a few weeks after the revelations made by the prisoners themselves regard
ing the poor food served and the alleged efforts,!
of guards to make them play poker for their benefit, it seems as if the whole jail system needs a thorough overhauling. The excuses offered by the keepers, that they had no knowledge of the impending flight, only emphasizes the laxity of the system. Marion county will do itself a good turn by turning the spotlight of publicity on the jail to discover responsibility for the latest manifestation of incompetence. Indianapolis prides itself on being no mean city. Evidently inmates of the jail, after taking to heart the motto, are doing their best to advertise it extensively throughout the state.

Today's Talk By George Matthew Adams
THE RAILROADS. There have been a lot of ugly things raid about the railroads as tho they were a group of pirates or robbers running thru the land. But how the railroads Inspire me! The railroads have shown me America. They have rocked me to sleep and pointed out history to me, and told
me stories, and made it possible for me io earn money, that I might have comfort and happiness and be able to spread my ideas down thru the years. And what the railroads are nnd have been to me, so are they to all. Without our blood vessels to carry our blood thruout our bodies, by way of our hearts, we wouldn't be. And so, in like manner, do the railroads make it possible for the life of a nation to thrive and grow strong. The railroads cannot be too efficient. And people cannot too enthusiastically support those who are doing their best to make the railroads sound and useful. Every time you paste a postage stamp upon a letter, every time you sit down to a meal, every time jou read a book or magazine from another cityand in dozen? of other ways must you acknowledge the value of railroads. They are the carriers of the nation. Always take a personal interest In the future of all railroads. I wish that everyone might own a ehare of stock or a bond in some railroad. It was a great compliment to ,the railroads that the will of Theodore Roosevelt revealed for a large part of pll his investments were in railroad .fecurities. He believed in the future i of America! If the millions owned the railroads. with those who have created them as i trustees, there would be no need o jtalk about anybody else owning or controlling them. As I write this little talk, a railroad I takes me safely across the country, i And tonight, I shall trust my life to the engineer as I fall asleep in my rerth.

Memories of Old Days In This Paper Ten Years Ago Today
Mayor Zimmerman replied when asked if he would prevent the showing oi! tho Jefferies-Johnson prize fight pictures: "I have no power to keep the pictures from being shown in Richmond, r.nd I wouldn't stop the display of the pictures if I could. Prize fights are no worse than football. Neither are these pictures worse than the wild west scenes which are put on depicting the murder of women and children. I think, instead, that the fight pictures are better." Acting as a board of arbitration between the two companies, the board of works decided that Gaar, Scott & Co., must grant the American Telegraph and Telephone company a route for their lines over some portion of North F street, and further agree to pay the cost of moving the lines should Gaar Scott & Co., ever desire to use the ground for building purposes.

A vigorous-looking woman boarded a car and pushed a small boy down on the seat. The other passengers noted that the boy had his head completely hidden by a tightly fitting saucepan, and their sympathetic inquires elicited the fact that his unhappy mother was taking the equally unhappy youth to the hospital to "have it taken off." "But how did he get it on his head?" asked a passenger. "He was playin' at soldiers, and wanted a helmet, so he took the saucepan," said the mother. "It'll be a bad job for him!" said another passenger. "It's a wuss one for me," retorted the mother; "it's the only saucepan I've got, and there's my breakfast in it!"
"We have 60 acres of wheat on this section, and my son-in-law has 16 acres on his part of the place. Taking it all through we hope to at least average 15 bushles," said Oscar Rich, who lives on the Nolansfork road. "Lawler Deitemeyer's 16 acres will probably go CO bushles; it Is tho finest ever. I have one small field which will likely thresh 20 bushels and another may make 23, the balance being hardly worth cutting. I figure the combination at 15 bushels for the entire 75 acres. We began cutting last Thursday and have almost half our wheat in shock. My corn is small but growing fast." Wants Better Roads. E. E. Post, of Liberty, who trucks a lot of live stock to Indianapolis and Cincinnati, says he could afford to pay a state license of $250 to $500 for his trucks, if the roads wero made ,as good as they ought to be. and were kept up as they should be. Said further that unless certain repairs were made they would be out of business next winter. "Few people have an idea of the cost and wear and trar in truck operation, but after systematic cost keeping a Newark, N. J., firm have settled on $25 per day as the minimum on a five-ton truck."
the farmers whose wheat is thin and falling and those whose hay has been
cut but not cured. Much of this hay will be windrowed and dried and though,dIscolored will not be seriously hurt. Eden Martindale, of the Greensfork elevator, said Wednesday morning that harvesting began over his way last Thursday. In most instances a part of the grain only is in shock. Binders are standing in the fields in all directions. Very Bad on Thin Wheat Thin wheat is falling fst in many fields, not so much from fly or midge, but because the heads are heavy and the straw has no massed support. It is not yet overripe, said Mr. Martindale, but it should be cut at once or it is going to be hard to save. This was also the opinion of Roscoe Rosa at Williamsburg. He stated that the wheat harvest had just fairly begun on Monday. Adam Eby's Opinion. According to Adam Eby of Boston township, hay "can wait" down his way. He said on Wednesday that an
! praminatirm nf his timntliv Khnwprl
that it needed a few more, days of sunshine. As to wheat very little has been cut, and he thinks there is really but little really ripe grain in his vicin
ity. Slow rains would not change conditions greatly. He thought- that fields already cut would he likely to show some damage from mold under the bands. Report From Camden. "While it's largely guess work," said the manager of the Farmers' elevator at Camden, "we judge that but 15 to 20 per cent of the wheat has been cut in this district. But a whole lot of hay is down and is being damaged more every day. Should this prove to be a rainy week it will affect our wheat materially." From the County Agent. E. F. Murphy said that in a long drive Mondav h saw bu' little wheat in shock, nor any wheat that showed to be overripe. Did not think that good wheat was hurt at all as yet; except as to the percentage which may be falling in thin fields. Thinks that
is not ready to cut
nor will a delay in cutting mixed hay cause serious loss. The statement that some fanners at Eldorado "intend to get into ihelr wheat Wednesday afternoon, if no more rain fell", showed that they did not believe the ground too soft for the binders.

Yur neighbors know the way Have used Doan's Kidney Pills; Have proved their worth in many tests. Ask your neighbor! Here's Richmond testimony. J. A. Williams, lumberman, 221 S. Ninth Street, says: "Doan's Kidney Pills have done a lot of good in our family and we are glad to recommend them. I used Doan's Kidney Pills when my kidneys were weak and when my back was aching. They f-trengthened my kidneys and stopped the pains." OVER FIVE YEARS LATER, Mr. Williams said: ' Doan's Kidney Pills are the best kidney remedy I ever used. I know they are worth a trial by anyone who needs a good kidney medicine." Price f.Oc, at all dealers Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills the same that Mr. Williams had.

A druggist was boasting in the company of his friends of his well-assorted stock in trade. "There isn't a drug missing," he said; "not even the most uncommon sort." "Come, now," said one of the by
standers, by the way of a joke. "I'm j sure you don't, keep spirits of contradiction, as well stocked as you are." 1 "Why not?" said the druggist, not in
the least embarrassed. "You shall see for yourself." So saying, he left the room and returned leading his wife by the hand.
