Labor is the one source of wealth. The genius both of , production and of commerce is in it. Through it the mastery of nature's.' forces Is attained and the utilization of her n-sources aicquired. Without it science and invention could achieve no triumphs. It is the . foundation of society, the inspiration of government, the bulwark )t civic order. It is more than the law of life. It is life itself. It ;s oGdappointed. Let all public offices be closed and all private business, wherever possible, be suspended. Let us keep the day here set apart in appreciation o.l labor's worth and in commemoration of its victories.

Tribute to R. B, Oglesb Rev. E. D. Daniel, who worked with Mr. Oglesbee much in historical work and knew him most intimately, pays the following tribute to his memory in the LaPorte Herald: "I regard Rollo B. Oglesbee as one of the choicest of spirits. He was a college man, a competent lawyer, an exceedingly able historian ,and an accomplished journalist, capable of doing anything in the line of that pro fession and doing it well. He was man of great versatility and deep insight, which enabled him to get at the fundamental principles of what he undertook, as is shown by the facility with wliich he mastered the details of his recent new position m the banking business of the state. But as most would say, unfortunately for him rather toriunately he was of such a gentle, retiring and unobstrusive disposition as to unfit him for getting down into the arena and scratching tearing and biting to see who shall get the most of the world's gotod thtings. And so, under the stern law offthe survival of tTTe strongest, he had to go to the wall where he remained a good part of his life. It is not the survival of the fittest but a simple matter of teeth, claws' and vantage ground. He was sweet spirited, lovable and winsome. He had a rare combination of poetic nature and ability to handle and judge correctly of facts, tvhich made him not only a beautiful writer, but an able historian. There was a sad pathos in his nature that it is good to remember. He was too good to bear his part in 'he wilds of the present jungle, and hence he has left us. May he find oeace in that world where the struggles for existence are over."

Rollo B. Oglesbee. Harry B. Darling, editor of the LaPorte Argus Bulletin, pays this tribute to the late Rollo B. Ogles bee: The sudden death of Rollo B. Oglesbee, formerly of this city, at hils home in Indianapolis, brought the sense of personal 'ess to a circle of friends in this city. , Mr. Oglesbee was in every way a lovable .nan. He was one of those companionable spirits whose disposition, in spite of vicissitudes and adversities was always sunny. He possessed those elements f character which mare h'tn a man among men. He was richly endowed with splendid mental faculties. His gifts of mind found frequent expression in creations of his pen which breathed his love at life its. beauty, its fragrance. When men of his mental equipment are aken from the activities of life we some timc-s wonder at the mystery of deaih. We feel that men of such noble impulses and generous natures shoiuld live to round out the fulness of their years " tfciat 'lumankind might receive the impress of -their genius and worth. Mr. Oglesbee was in every sense a home man. though no activity called but that found him 'ready for its exacting responsibilities. He "wa' , an authTr wMose talen shono resplendent in his writings, a poet whose muse breathed an uplift, a political partisan whose acts reflected' naught but that which was manly, a churchman whose daily life attested his belief in holy things, a faticr iwhose devotion o hi children was the crowning attribute of 'his well-lived years, a husband whose devotion to the ideals of home --ever had a truer exponent. Thus did Mr. Oglesbee live his life reflecting sunihine, his pen weaving beautiful things, his persorwalfty contributi-' to tS'fc individuality of the communi:y in which he lived. God touched him in the prime and vigor of his years. But wh'le he sleeps the in' fluence of his life will live on forever for the monument whidCt the noble life erects iwrll not crumble, nor will it be effaced with the passing of the years. May God smile upon those who sit in the shadows. . RAIN HAS COME AT LAST. Comes Too Late to Save the Enormous) Corn Crop Promised, but is Very Welcome. The long looked for. rain came at last. Shortly before 5 o'clock Wednesday evening, the skies opened and the streets of the city were given a thorough wetting. Since the third of July but little rain has fallen near here. The rain was a boon to the farmer. Already the corn crop had been cut in two and the potatoes which are generally large at this season are extremely small. Had the drought continued a week longer the entire corn crop crop would have been laid to waste, the farmers say. Last evening's storm was accompanied with loud peals oi thunder and a- v'vid display of lightning. , The rain was pretty general, especially in the southern part of the county. Swift and Cheap. The motorcycle is coming to be recognized by rural mail carriers as a useful and speedy means of delivering the mail. One carrier out of Wabash covered his route in two and one half hours. The distance being twenty-six miles .and the number of boixes 124.. In Warsaw there are fout carriers who use the motorcycle in making their rounds and they usually get back toj town in two and one half hours. This is not only an advantage to the carriers, but to the patrons as well, for the farmer is ju.t an anxious to get h'is mail early in the day as the resident oi the city. A nfotorcycle can be purchased ftor less money than a good horse and can be "fed" for less money also, and can be made use of a good part of the year. Columbia City Post. Will Move to Ohio.

EIGHTY-SIX DRY COUNTIES SENATOR MATTINGLY SAYS ONLY SIX WILL REMAIN WET UNDER LOCAL OPTION BILL WHICH HE WILL PRE-SENT.

Senator Ezra Maftingly, of Washington, who has a countv local option bill for presentation to the next General Assembly, expresses the opinion that eight-six of rhe ninety-two counties of the State would, under his bill go "dry" the very first dash out ot the box. The only six counties in the State which would not drive the saloons out if his bill were enacted into law 4re, according to Mattlngly, Vanderbnrg, Dubois, Marion, Vigo, Allen and Lake.. "And I am not so sure that Marlon would not join the list of "dry" counties," he said in discussing his bill and its effect. "Marion, is composed of people drawn lo Indianapolis from all parts of the State. The proportion of foreign born residents is not great. With a fair election, I wxxuld not be surprised , to see the saloons banished there." ; Senator Mattingly, who is one of the temperance leaders of the Republican party, having led the fight in the Senate IwjO years ago for the high license bill, thinks that a local option election should be held not oftener than oaice every four years. "Because nearly every county will g"o 'dry' at the first election and then we can hold the 'dry' territory for forty-eight months." The argument was recalled, however, that the brewers, knowing that territory gained byi them would remain wet' for four long years, could afford trt spend big sums of money to carry the elections and to make use of all theiir resources to bring about a victory. "True," answered Mattmgly, "but under my bill elections - could and would be held in practically every county of (the State at the same time The brewers, therefore, could not switch their forces from one county to another, could not coflonize voter effectually and could not employ unfair means, as the whole State would be aroused simultaneously." In- explanation, the Senator said his bill provides that the Board of County Commissioners must select a day for a special election to be held not less than twenty or more than thirty days after a petition calling for an election on the 'question cA prohibition is filed. Therefore, united action by fhe temperance Torces In filing petitions in all counties simultaneously would result in ninety-two elections within ten daysi of each other. ThiTs, he thinks, would make a State issue and by creating sentiment up and down and across Indiana a full temperance vote could be polled as full at any rate as the Republican voite in the fall. Mattingly's bill, which will be presented earJy in the coming session, provides that the petition for prohibition elecions shall bear the signatures of 20 per cent, of the voting population of the county, and that it shall be filed at least three days before the regular meeting of the Board oi County Commissioners. No other issue stitall be presented for fhe consideration of voters at the elect)n. The bill specifically states that it, as a law, shall not interfere with the validity of the Moore and Nichoflsoji laws as Wey now stand. Mattingly has another bill of more than ordinary note. This provides for tEie cteatJon of a public utilities commission to supplant the Statt Railroad Commission and . to have jurisdiction over the railroads, traction companies, street car lines, tele, graph and telephone companies, l:ght, heat and power companies and express companies of the State. The commission shall be composed of five members, three oi one party and two of the other, or of four, ' two from each party, the author has liOt yet definitely decided. His bill, he explains, 'will be modeled after th New ork law, the best, he thinks, n the counirv. Name Five New Officers. Brig. Gen. Oran Perry, adjutant general of Indiana has issued commisisons1 toi five new officers of the Indiana National Guard. Commissions were given Claude C. Mason, recently elected second lieutenant of Company A, Second Infantry, Indianapolis; George H. . Simpson, promoted to first lieutenant of Company 1, First infantry, at Madison; Horace O.

Scott, reappointed captain of infantry and attached to Gen. McKee's staff as aid-de-canjp. MAKES JAPAN FEEL CHEAP. United States Liberality for Tokio Exposition Stirs Progressives. At a meeting of the progressive party it was decided to introduce a bill to increase the government appropriation for the Japanese exhibition in 1912 from $5,000,000 to $6,000,000. The appropriation of $1,500 K)0 by the United States for its exhibit at the Japanese "world's fair" was used as an argument by the proigressives for a larger appropriation by the home govenment. Everywhere the liberality of the American appropriation is being favorably commented upon. Gasoline Tank Blown Up.
