To The Public. r ’ ■! *■ We have been informed 6y reliable parlies that the report is being circulated by a certain party who sees fit to autagon ze The Journal, to the effect that this paper is being used in the interest of the democratic party. We hereby declare said story to be a malicious falsehood, circulated for tlie purpose of injury to ourselves. While we have as much nspect for the democratic party as any other we wish to say that this paper is absolutely independent and caters to no parly or parties. Did we desire to champion the cause of the 1 democracy we would try a-d do it in a manner to merit the promises which we would no doubt receive. The Journal will not t ike sides io any political campaign, and will take part in it just so far as the news is concerned. This is a newspaper, purs and s’niple and not a party organ.

Our Systemless Roads. “No chain is stronger than its weakest link,” is a trite saying and is especially tiue of the road ira--1 provement problem in Indiana. In a few weeks we will witness the edifying sight of a township trustee being elected at the same election at which a president will be chosen. In the heat and strife of a political battle an officer must be chosen who is of the highest importance to the public roads of each locality, and whose fitness for the office has much to do with the progress of the two things that touch most vitally the hfg of- each Community, viz: lhe roads and the schools. As about the only qualification that the law requires for that officer is a majority of votes and as he is moreover eligible to re-elec-tion after a lapse of four years, the same thing applies as was said last week of supervisors, tn school matters, however, the supervision falls to the County Superintendent, who is a school man. But there is no auihoritv in Indiana in road matters higher than the tow nship trustee. What is the result? Roads patched, repatobed, worked and graded on the same plan as was used forty-odd years ago. The modus operandi of building a gravel road is about this: A huge machine mis-oalied a grader is dragged along the read and a huge ridge of sod, clay, sand and stones is heaped in a rough, ragged pile in the middle of the road. Upon this is hauled every species of stuff found under the ground that closely resembles gravel, spread out in various thicknesses and thinnesses to suit the taste or convenience of each supervisor, or often of each driver. Most of this work is done in the short days of the fall and as frost approaches it is ground, pounded and churned into the soft ridge of mud before mentioned until all resemblance to gravel is gone. M O’Connell, Jr. Who Is Next? Some heavy cannonading has been going c-n in the campaign fori the past two weeks. The first shell to burst was over Mr. Foraker off Ohio. lie puts up a defence that rather startles the enemy and quits with a little the best of it. Then Governor Haskell of Oklahoma is poked out of his ambush with the same kind of shot that Foraker received. The second gentleman quils his stage of action (treasurer of the democratic national committee) without making a bow. At the same time of Haskell’s adue General DuPont of Powder fame, l ands in his resignation as head of the bureau of campaign speakers on the republican national executive I committee. The only thing wrong with him is that he is at the head of thepowder trust and has not “betrayed his trust.” • Mr. W. 11. Hearst, advocate of the Independent party, is given credit for firing the gun that was “beard around the world.” A bell should be attached to Mr. Bryan during this fusilade, or he may get too far from the fold. Barlow’s Show Troup. From the “Billboard”, the leading theatre and circus magazine of the United Stat s we clip the following notice in regard to the Barlow show, of which Ed P. Baird, formerly a citizen and notion auctioneer of h’s place is manager: “The Barlow Show which has toured Indiana, Illinois and lowa the past season and had a uniformly * good business for the past 22 weeks wi 1 make a long season through the south during the. winter months. I'he show has grown to such pro portions that twelve wagons drawn by thirty head of horses are required to transport the show.” In a letter to Mrs, Benj. Stiver, we learn that their daughter, Miss Erma, was married to Mr. Arthur Eiowe, of St. Joseph, Mo., who has been a member of the Barlow Show for the past seven years. Shortly after the marriage the couple left the show to join a big railroad show that will tour the southern states luring tie winter months.
