Only ignorant or degenerate people will invent and spread ' such , lies. Decent and cleanminded people have no use for such filty tactics. They .know that such methods always react against the interests of those who expect to gain from them.

91KSIIIi;n OP TUB ASSOCIATED PRESS The Associated Press is exclusively entitled to the uss for republication of all news dispatches credited to It or not otherwise credited In this paper, and also the locaf rews published herein. All rights of republication of -cjoI dispatches herein are also reserved, Filthy Politics Every political campaign is marked somewhere in its course by appeals to ignorant prejudice. Many are marred by filthy lies about prominent candidates. The present campaign is no different in this respect than others have been. An eleventh hour attack has been made on the purity of Senator Harding's ancestry that is as cowardly and brutal as it is depraved. The

story has been spread by word of mouth in Richmond and by thousands of pamphlets labelled "Harding's Family Tree," in Dayton, that Senator Harding has negro blood in his veihs. The story, of course, is a lie. Senator Harding's ancestry is white in an unbroken line. Were this not so, the fact would have been known many years before this. He has been in too many political contests for office not to have had this charge made years ago, and substantiated, if there were any truth in it. It is almost inconceivable that such a lie would commend itself to any politician's brain as

a sensible political means to use to help defeat Senator Harding. It is simply a lying attempt to

arouse race prejudice for political purposes. It

is an insult, not only to Senator Harding and his

family, but also to every white man, woman and child in our countryFurthermore, this lie is an affront to our colored citizens. No set of politicians has any right l-rdrr God or our constitution so to use the negro v c ird to fan the flames of racial prejudice.

Enter a Float in Armistic Day Parade ... ' The parade committee of the proposed Armistice Day celebration, fearing that some business

men have the impression that they cannot participate in the parade with a float, has addressed a letter to manufacturers, merchants and business men generally, asking them to enter the procession. Because the parade and the celebration are patriotic in character, floats will be of a historical and educational nature, but credit will be given on the float itself by the presence of the name of the concern which entered it. Incidents of our national history lend themselves admirably to portrayal by pageant and by representation on floats. The Armistice Day celebration in Richmond undoubtedly will be the most spectacular one in Indiana. Few cities have set aside this day to do honor to the boys who entered the service and to the men and women who worked in the factory and on the farm to produce the munitions and supplies needed in the military establishment. The occasion merits the participation of all our citizens, for not only was , the destiny of e7ery one affected by the outcome of the war, but every one also did his part in a greater or less degree to bring about the victory. And so the Armistice Day celebration in 1920 will be a community affair on a comprehensive scale in which all our institutions and enterprises will be represented in a generous manner. The parade committee would like to have a list of the floats this week. Any one desiring to enter is asked to communicate with W. W. Reller, chairman of the parade committee.

The formation is supposed to be accomplished by alterations of the hot Autumnal sunlight and the low temperature of the autumn nights. The red pigment produced in the leaves in autumn is always accompanied by soluble hydrocarbonates. Analysis shows that red leaves hold more sugars and glucosides than green leaves. The blue coloring matter is an anthocyanin whose formation is brought about by the sugary compounds. Readera may nhtntn nnTrr-rn t questions by wrllinc the Pnlln.Mum Questions and Answers department.

SIZING UP THE FINANCIAL SITUATION We have been asked by a reader to l'oin the present financial tlepresin mrsiiv personal pocketbooks, r.i n tn evnlain the high prices and

The main cause of personal financial troubles is keeping np with the styles, fnd this because they come so fast that they cannot bo kept up with even if you are pursuing them on a motorcycle. It was Bean Brummel who said that he would rather be dead than out ot ftyle, and shortly after he said it he was both, thereby getting his wish with compound interest. Keeping up with the styles is the best way in the world to teach a bank account to take a joke. Nothing becomes dlscourgaed more quickly than a bank account. It is the original sensitive plant and will turn it3 face away from the sun and wither and die on the slightest provocation. A few pokes and it takes the count.

He told his passengers, two ladies, that on no account were they to speak to him, that he could not talk and give his attention to his machine, and fiat they must keep silent. 7
