south i;i:.i, ixni v A IiUSl.i:.sS COMIJINATIO.Y. A few months ao Charles Weidh-r was a candidiito for th- democratic nomination for mayor. Hf was r.ot nominated. Tlu .so-calh-d citizens' party was in rxl5ton'.o l.ffore Mr. Weidlr an-Xioun'-fd hi- carulIacy. Several t stimahle Krntlomen aspired to lr.ul tho citizens' cause. During Mr. Wt idler's candidacy for th democratic nomination Fred Keller, partner and huyineys a..-oeiate of Mr. Weidler, was not a candidate for the ritize ns' nomination. In fact tho Weidler workers openly claimed the Koller-Whiteomb-Happ-Tohulka support. Thoy boasted that these real estate men were present at mo5t of the Weidler meeting. When Mr. Keller'; business associ:ite was d feat d, .Mr. Keller at once proceeded to take over the citizens' party. V.'itb most of iat year's 1 11 II monso f!rp.mLz;iti()ii"Tack of him he was easily t Uer-ssm 5. Now the Kejler f-n es are boasting thai Mr. Weidler is bad: of Keller. Messrs. Keller and Weidler have Ions? been .associated in the real estate same. It is slid that with other associates they have tried hard to unload the old M. 17. church property on the county at an exorbitant price. Here is an idea.1 "business combination" trying to break into political control. Bipartisan business relations in polities have never ajpt-al'd to the American -people. Mr. Keller held aloof from tho purity league win-!: ho thought his business partner mi'ht be mayor. Mr. "Weidler is said to favor his real estate associate in tho campaign. Hut South Hend is not ready to turn itself over to the tender mercies of any real estate combination. The Tribune opposed Keller's nomination but was forced to accept him. Mr. Miller is said to have cautioned Keller against tho Weidler support. "Hut the people are alive to the situation. The next mayor of 5-"outh Hend will r.ot bo chosen from the little coterie of real estate men. no HUNzo vn: or soda. The people of Indiana do not have to eat foods prepared with bonzoate f soda. Th United States district court at Indianapolis so (hcided and the United States circuit court of appeals sitting in Chicago affirmed it. Both courts relumed to enjoin tho Indiana food and drug commissioners and the Indiana state board of health from interfering with tho sale of catrup and pickles containing benzoate of coda. . Thoy decided that the question of r-od.i is an oprn one in tho sirentific "world and gave the people of Indiana the benefit of the doubt. Tho decision makes it possible fo; the health authorities of Indiana to absolutely prohibit the sale of bonroatod foods in this state, something they will now bo certain to do rv, tho ftat chemical department has declared henzoalo of soda te be a harmful preservative. It prows out of litipation which followed the passage by tho Indiana legislature in 3 r 0 7 of a law which provides that any person filling food products containing benr.oato of soda is subject to crominal prosecution. j 1 Tho bill hit the big food companies j hard and one of them, presumably j :u nr.?; lor a.i. carru 0 irie maiier im tho courts. The doinont of uncertainty as to tho real effect of taking benzoate of soda into tho stomach was the point upon which the rulings of tho two curts turned. The applicants for ;.n injunction were unable to prove to tho attraction of the courts that it harmless. On the contrary tho Indiana stnte "board of hor.lth I satisfied that the chemical is harmful and has succeeded in protecting th- people of the state acainst its re. This is only one of many instan.as in which tho state health authorities hao proed their uscfulr.es.-. criiKENn CONTROL. Tho opposition .f the bankers of the -o;;ntrv to the banking and cur1 rencv fill now pending in congress, as! voi.-cd at the Boston convention of the 1 American Bankers .ism. elation, hinges on the control of the currency. The Glass-nwen bill places this c.iUrd in 1 tfr.e hands of tho go eminent.

The country will feel safer and be safer if this control is placed on the disinterested hands of the government. . A comparatively small part of the financial business of the country is J conducted on the capital of the banks. The medium Is largely furnished by depositors and v: that extent the Interest of the banks is less than that of the public. If the banks were given control of the currency it would be another case of the tall wagging the dog. in pitAisn or MAILS. IJy Norton Kralcy. To thee, great God of Red Slaughter, we bow down. Under-many names but ever in thine own awful character thou hast outlived tho million gods of a million years 'and challenged the very throne of the great Jrhovah himself. As shaggy primordial cavemen thou sentest us forth to batter and crush our brother cavemen, as savages wo masacred and slew according to thy behest, and as ordered and organized tribes', nations, empires, thou hast driven us out in phalanxes, legions, regiments and battalions to hew, to hack, to mangle and destroy our fellow man. On thy altars we have sacrificed the flower of our youth and the strength and beauty and courage of our manhood. Jn thy name and for thy greater pleasure we have laid waste the fair fields of the good warm earth, we have blackened the face of nature with fire, we have heaped high the dead in windrows and maimed and crippled and blinded the bodies of the living; for thy satisfaction we have razed splendid cities built of toil and sweat and dreams and with pillage and rapine and slaughter we have let in the jungle and made desert the streets and tho palaces and the gardens which stood as monuments to the aspirations of man. Because the sound was sweet to thine ears -we have brought to thee the waii of countless women, the helpless cries of little children, the moan of wounded men in unutterable agony, the shriek of souls that pass, amid the clash of steel, the tramp of marching feet, the blare of trumpets and the roar and thunder of cannon. For thee we have suffered privation and hardship, and in our trail have stalked disease and famine, lest we forget the grim rewards of thy favor. And we have called they service glory, and have raised the high priests to the mightiest places of honor and profit and power among us. And for our reward these kings and emperors we have set up drive us again and again forth upon thy business and theirs, leaving our crops to rot, our tools to rust, and our loved ones to mourn and starve. The mighty and the rich and the powerful have profited by thee, the poor and lowly, the laborer and the tiller of the soil have known only privation and want at thy hands. Thou art merciless, insatiate, evil; hate and all black passions are all thy derdre yet before thy awful visage we bow in humble worship and eagerly! pour at thy feet libations of blood and streams of treasure. Great God of red war, we bow before thee! Wo wouldn't go to the extreme of saying that turning the control of the currency over to the bankers would be like permitting criminals to adminis ter the law, but it would be imprudent. Tho revolt in an Domingo has been brought to a close through the friendly offices of the American minister, who induced the leaders of the warring factions to sign a peace agreement. Taking Pittsburgh at its own estimate "Billy" Sunday refuses to conduct a revival there unless he can have a $4,000,000 tabernacle. And, of course, Mr. Sunday would expect other things to be in proportion. We are learning from the agricultural department how much work a t farmer can do In a day. but what worries the farmer is how much his farmhand does do. Tho Michigan man who lost $4,000 while learning the tango of a Chicago woman should strive to place a proper valuation on the souvenir of the occasion. Did you invest in the stock of the Western Implement and Motor company? It accumulated JCOO.OOO before it was discovered. Efforts to create a money flurry, should be properly and vigorously sat ,jown upon, and the president is pre paring to do it.

Still those who continue to take ice are not altogether happy. They yearn for somebody to Jump on. Keeping Track of Oscar. (Logansport Pharos-Reporter.) The many friends of Oscar Newport are by this time becoming convinced that he is a trifler. It is well known that he is engaged to wed a girl in Iowa on the twentieth of this month, yet he is cutting some curious capers every evening in the vicinity of a certain five cent theater. A few evenings ago he purchased a box of candy for a girl who works at the theater, and later was chagrined to see from a distance that two other fellows were helping her eat it. Last night Oscar, decked out in his plug hat, and wearing a big flower, occupied a box by his lonesome in the Nelson theater.

AS TOLD BY AUNT GERTIE. CHAPTER III. "I am king and I command you to go!" answered the wife, angrily. There was nothing for the poor old fisherman to do - but to go for the fourth time to the fish. He walked down to the sea in fear and trembling. His voice shook as he called to the fish. "What will you have this time?" asked the fish. "My wife wants to bo an emperor!" "Go home. She is an emperor," said the fish. True to his words, the fish had made the wishing wife an emperor and she was sitting on a more wonderful throne than ever. Things were quiet again for a week or more, until one morning the emperor called the fisherman to her tbirone and ordered him to fall upon his knees and kiss the hem of her garment. "What will you have of me?" asked the fisherman, in a very submissive voice. "1 have decided to be a pOpe. He has more power than an emperor, even. Go to the fish and tell him my wish." The fisherman knew by this time that it was no use to cross the wish of his wife, especially when she was

Decided tc refurnish his barber shop To attract more trade and attention. To make his job a good one. Best plumbers he did seek And kept them working dav and night To be ready for "carnival" week. And when his goods did come They were to be Intact, But two marble slabs were broken, And one small mirror it lacked. But with everything all finished It surely does look swell. And the way it looks on the Inside I now to you will tell. The back wall is all marble. With large mirrors held in place, And gives a good reflection Of your long hair and beared face. Four new chairs are get in a line, Of course they aie the best. All are made of white enamel, With a sanitary head-rest. Each barber has his lavatory By the side of his own chair. With both hot and cold clean water. And a hose for washing hair; Everything is painted white, Even the clock that's near the door While shining clean and bright Is new linoleum on the floor. But amongst all this fine purity His barbers hearts are brok, For to keep it sanitary. The poor fellows cannot smoke. C. R. Zolman. YOUNG Chaffee Grant has maintained the family reputation for heroism by rescuing a San Francisco girl from a Negro assailant. Perhaps any other young man would have been as valiant under similar circumstances, but some how the Grants have a nack of intercepting opportunity. Menu Pumpkin, Program linco. (Columbia City Post.) Twenty-five members of the Modern Woodmen order held their annual pumpkin pie social Tuesday night and had plenty of pies. The program was miscellaneous. WITH the aid of Marlon Harland's helping hand we are about to take up the study of lip reading. We are convinced that the ability to read the lips accurately would aid our hearing to distinguish invitations which might otherwise escape us. THE country pays a big price to know which is the best team. AND disputes the verdict. C. N. F.

When the fish appeared it looked cross and forbidding. "What can you want this time? asked the fish. "Oh, Mr. Fish, don't 'be angry. My wife says she would be a pope." "All right. She is a pope. Go homo!" said the fish. Wife was happy till next morning. Then as she rose up in bed she saw the sun rising. "Why, I cannot stop the sun rising." she thought. "I must have MORE power. I will bo lord of the sun and moon, too. Husband, conn hither and do my bidding. Go to the fish and tell him what I would have now." As the fisherman neared the ?ea a great storm broke and he was nearly swept away. The fish came up and asked the old question once more. The fisherman told him his wife wanted to be lord of the sun and moon. "Go home." said the fish, in deep disgust, "to your pigstye again." And there the old fisherman and his discontented wife still live. ' (THE END) But the good old grip of the game is unfaltering. Still the old agonv, fever and chill to it, Still the old rapturous wonder and thrill to it. Still the old coaching-box chatter and "con" again. Still the old cheers for the Series 1? on again! "Hey, have they started? Say, what are the batteries?" "Matthewson's losing his whip so the chatter is!" "Don't you believe it; the Big Six is right again.
