Kememhering that the republicans of St. Joseph county recently held a reception with feed fre in spots at the Oliver hotel, drawing out a crowd of 203 to see and hear their candidates for the United States senate and for conKrehs, a a secondary attraction, it might appear from a glance over the stare, that perhaps after all. the managers of the affair were wise. Without free feed at bast in part the indications are that none but the managers themselves would have taken the trouble. A a fair specimen of the kind of meetings the republicans are having everywhere, the following from the Indianapolis Star is to the point: From (Ireerifield comes the story of another republican lizzie in the shape of a county campaign opening, for which the republicans advertised Charles A. I'ookwalter. Indianapolis; John MeArdle, Indianapolis; Fat Lynch, member of the state committee and nominee for congress, Newcastle; Hugh Th. Miller, senatorial nominee, and I'd. Jackson of Newcastle, candidate on the republican ticket for secretary of state. It was made evident by two weeks of drumming and advertising and by th army of speakers that the republicans Intended to "put something over." The day came. Sixty people turned out for the rally. Pat Lynch was there and so was Huu'h Th. Milb r. L nch stutk and had t chat with the republican rally. Miller, so the story goes, actually slid into his motor car and chugged away, abandoning the rally to Lynch. Hancock county progressives suggest that this incident may indicate why it it that the people hear so little and so infrequently from the campaign being made by the republican senatorial nominee. They suggest that it is entirely possible Mr. Miller is ducking" the so-culled rallies, just as he did the Hancock county demonstration of ',). Is the republican nominee ashamed t be seen since the exposure of his part in the i;o7 .affair, that put some bills on the statute books and kept others out. that ought to have been th're'.

The day has been Inaugurated by the state board of health as an educational aid to better health conditions in Indiana and as a stimulant to individual interest in the vitally important matter of keeping the body in good working condition. There is a religious faith which teaches that there is no such thing as disease, and this doctrine may be generally accepted to the extent that disease, broadly speaking is unnecessary and in most instances preventable. Disease results from maltreatment of the body and exposure to contagion and infection. It is probably safe to say that all disease conies from outside sources. It does not originate in the body, but is caused by foreign substances, just as sand in the hub stops the wheel or failure to properly lubricate the axle causes friction and decreases the efficiency of the vehicle. The body is a strong but delicately adjusted piece of machine, y. It may be compared with the engine of an automobile, the motive power of which proceeds from a small unit to a larger one and requires the most careful attention to produce the best results. The chauffeur is educated in the care of these machines before he is entrusted with their operation. If this is considered necessary how much more important it is for human beings to know how to take care of the bodies on which their earthly existence and happiness depends. That is the purpose of disease prevention day. T. Il.'S OCCUPATION GONE. Pres. Wilson has so completely denatured the claims of Theodore Roosevelt to recognition as the champion of progressive thought and performance that the posing and proclamations of the latter have lost their significance in the minds of the American people. While Roosevelt has been preaching. Wilson has been practicing. Roosevelt had his opportunity and the country need not be reminded how well, or how poorly, he imprc-ved it. As president of the United S .les for seven vears he had the chan to

put into practice the principles w ich ' should not worry. We haven't lost he boasts are the underlying nic ' 'e;the Philippines yet.

ol his life, but lu those seven u !g vears he proved o nlv that he was' bound with thongs of ,Uv! ,., 0.0 traditions at the past. His period of 1 opportunity, marked by an activity which traveled in circles, was succeed- j d by one of apathy, in which the j movement was backward rather than ft, w ard, in which procrastination kept j progress from assuming its rightful j place, but from which the country w as rescued by the practical progres- j siveness of Wilson. While the country moves forward under the master mind and patriotic i motives of the mail now directing its destinies the significance of the change has failed to silem e the leaders of the old and the new champions of a lost cause, the cause of selfibh purposes and class privileges and the spectacular comedy of two faction: 1 each proclaiming its righteousness in the face of public conviction of their j error is presented. j Happy is that country whose ene-j mies disagree and are so ohse.sed with ! their own selfish ends that they ex-: pcii.l their strength fighting .?ach oth- j er insiead f combining in an attack j upon the citidel of good government. It is not a case of rival lovers wherein i the Goddess of Liberty might be happy with one if the other were far away, but a case of rhal enemies wherein the happiness of the goddess will be in proportion to the distance both are removed or hld in. What the people expected and f.iild to realize in the administrations of Roosevelt and Tuft they are receiving in the admintst: ation of Wilson. He 1 told them before he was inaugurated what he proposed to do, and how well he has kept his promises tho records of his achievements ?,huw.

ri!O.M PARAl TO CITY. Chicago is to give the ex periment of direct parcel post service from pi oducer t c(in.umT a practical workout. The experiment will be watch d with intocst as a demonstration of tin- practicability of elirninatini: t'e middleman. This service will be instituted .'it the Chicago postotlice within the next few days. It is called the farm to city service and its name describes its character. Jt consists of selling packages of farm produce directly to the f onsumer hy means of the parcel post. While this service has been established i ri twelve large cities and seems to be operating successfully it is still in an experimental stage. Its convenience, economy and praetica- ; bility are jet to be demonstrated, but j those who have observed the workings of the new system are enthusias- ! tic over its possibilities, and if it meets : expectations as now anticipated it will : be as rapidly extended to the smaller

cities as circumstances will permit. The postofftce, under this system, is i made the clearing house or distributing point for the producer and the consumer. From lists posted in the posto fice and delivered by carriers consumers can obtain the addresses of producers and then learn the kind of produce each desires to sell. It is then only a matter of correspondence. The consumer mails the orders, the producer mails the produce and the postotlice department does the rest. The, new system, however, means the .adoption by the producer of the system of selling which has come into practice of late, that of packing produce in compact form, of sending it to market in sanitary' condition and of making the goods attractive in appearance as well as excellent in quality. In this manner each producer will be a competitor, and his success will depend upon the character of what he has to offer. Shipments of American foodstuffs to Holland and other neutral countries may be made without fear of molestation from British warships if an understanding now anticipated is reached. Only consignments intended for Germany will be seized and they will be paid for. Anna Gould that was heads a subscription for the purpose of enabling American physicians and surgeons who have been recently qualified to practice to get to the seat of war in IZurope. She says their services are greatly needed and the opportunity for them unusual. The elimination of "Boss" Barnes from th chairmanship of the NewYork republican state committee is calculated to further complicate republican operations in the Empire state. Barnes works better as leader than as wheelhorse. It seems incredible that 70,000 In 1 dian troops could have been shipped j across the world without the knowl- J edge of it becoming general, but their j arrival in Franco proves that it is ; possible. 1 Wisconsin progressives have come to the conclusion that it will be useless to run anyone but LaFollette for governor. If the senator declines to run the herd will be without a leader. The Red Cross is going to need about $200,000 to carry it through the next s.'x months, according tc present estimates, and a share of this is expected to come from America.

It is not a horse really; it is a team the president and ft sympathetic congress. The piesldent's effective leadership is conceded and universally lauded. Rut the president's principle of action has been that of seeking "common counsel' before acting. In this manner he has bcrn able to secure the cooperation of congress to a degree withnnt r rr n 1 1 in modern tnlitical hisI torv. The president's measures ami ! policies have succeeded because the 'democratic majorities of the house and senate have stood bv him through hot weather and cold, through praise and blame, no matter whether the goi ing was heavy or easv. It follows that the democratic consrMsmt-n and senators who joined in th common counsel" and who have stood by the president are entitled to share the benefits of a "vote of confidence." Advices reaching Washington from all parts of the country show that substantially this line of reasoning is running in the minds of the public at larse. Hence, the democratic outlook is considered excellent. The house republicans have suddenly put the soft pedal upon attacks on

Wayne Journal-Gazette.) "Uncle David Nulf" and his son Leftridge Nulf returned homo Monday from their trip to "Woodville, Porter county, wThere they had went to attend a birthday party on Edward Nulf, but when they arrived they were very pleasantly surprised to learn that they were to be guests at a fine wedding the day of their arrival. Mr. William Nulf, son of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Nulf was married to a young lady, whose parents resided a couple of miles from the groom's parents. The wedding was a very elaborate affair, and Uncle David reported that the bride was attired in a lovely white silk, a long bridal veil, etc. Among the wedding presents was $1(0 from the bride's parents. The ceremony was at high noon, Wednesday, Sept. 2 3, and the next day Mr. and Mrs. Edward Nulf gave an elegant celebration in honor of Mr. Edward's Nulf's 64th birthday. Uncle David enjoyed all the pleasures of the wedding with all the zest of a school boy and gave good descriptions of all that occurred when he came home. He thoroughly cnjos these social occasions and pleasure trips at a distance. FOR the first time Europe is to get a taste of Indian warfare, but it will be that effete eastern stuff.

N. F. the sugar schedule of the Underwood tariff. After having inserted sugar speech after sugar speech in the congressional record, with a view to harping insistently upon the theme in the fall election, the high-protectionists have suddenly concluded to look elsewhere for campaign thunder. This change of front is due to the very obvious fact that the effect of the European war upon the sugar market contains an excellent defense of the action of the democrats in providing for a gradual reduction of sugar tariffs until free sugar is reached. The reductions in effect prior to the outbreak of the war had reduced the retail price of sugar from 6 and 7 cents a pound to 4 and 5 cents a pound. Under the present war conditions, housewives are paying 8, ! and 10 cents a pound. The price his fluctuated somewhat; but the existing averagewith little prospect of early relief is about 9 cents a pound. The situation amply co: roboratesj the democratic argument that high i high tariff creates an artificial condi tion strongly resembling that created by the European war.

Grand Rapids News. SOITH AMERICAN RANKING. As the war in Europe has gradually developed the fact that it is to be no short affair, permanent arrangements have been begun by American bankers to take advantage of the opportunity to invade the .South American field. Several New York institutions are establishing branches in the South American capitals, an j will be in a position to take care of the demands there . Just as war was declared, several South American countries were negotiating loans in European financial capitals. These loans are inspired by the pressure of local conditions, and are absolutely necessary for the welfare of the countries concerned. For the present, and probably for a long period, it will be impossible to float such loans in Europe. Under the circumstances these governments will turn to the banking and financial interests of the United States, which seldom heretofore have subscribed for South American loans or shown much interest in them. By endeavoring to help out these governments in this crisis, they will perform not only a great service to such governments, but will place themselves in a favorable position to obtain other loans, and favorable consideration from the governments concerned. It will be ditlicult to estimate the prestige that immediate action on the part of American kinkors in relieving the financial needs of the southern republics will give to American money. It is by many considered extremely doubtful if South America will ever again look to European banks for capital. The European bankers have been wont to charge a high rate, and were extremely dictatorial. More lenient policies are being oursued by the bankers in the United States, and it is believed that these new banking conditions will bring about a closer relationship and a warmer feeling of regard between South American business men and those of this country.

This is perhaps an aggregate seldom, if ever, exceeded. The declared policy of the treasury department, in responding to the calls for currency, has been one tf positive antagonism to speculative operations, that term embracing the holding of commodities for higher prices. It is perhaps impossible for that purpose to be carried out. and the chance: are that a great deal of the emergency currency, along with other banking resources, has gone Into channels which will afford profit for the most part to manipulators of values. There are, in fact, some entirely legitimate uses for it in directions which would be hard to entirely separate from the speculative, in its broad sense. The holding of cotton is chief among these, the purpose being to avert disastrous sacrifice of its value by reason of the closing of foreign markets through war. It will not do to draw hard and fast lins for financing cr other enterprise in such unusual Ume ay these, hence the equanimity of tho public In face of high rates for money when demand for it is at a minimum and the supply, under ordinary conditions, abundant. The complaint by certain eastern bankers against a tendency toward inflation, after that section had taken out more emergency currency than the whole of the country outside combined, evoked no response in support from any direction. There should, of course, be no r-ck-less inflation, but just now the nation is in an extraordinary position and requires unusual resources and methods. At the same time, it will not bo advisable for those having to do with the resources to attempt too much ia the way of profit. St. Louis Times. BATTLE CREEK.
