be said that the only class in this

the worlds great bondholders and
creditors. and enables US to understand
the motives by which they are impelled.
Those who advocate the gold stand
ard and seek to produce confusion in
the minds of the average citizens re-
garding what is meant when the term
money power is used. They accuse
those who oppose them of seeking to
array the poor against the rich. Moth
ing can be further from the fact.
Among the ranks of the bimetallists
are many who possess enormous for
tunes, while the large body of intelli-
gent bimetallists are men engaged in
business, together with professional
men, artisans, and laborers, who either
own homes or are struggling to acquire
homes. On the other hand, the active
advocates of the gold standard are the
bondholding and creditor classes, to-
gether with the banks under their con-
troll, outside of which their principal
followers are their employees and the
weak and dependent whom they can
control, together with the venal poll
ticians, whom they reward handsome
ly for their services in furthering the
selfish ends of the creditor combina
ton. The money power is a world
wide combination working in concei
upon the various nations of the earth.
It has sought in this country from the
beginning to prevent the money ques-
tion becoming an issue in politics. To
avoid this they sought to control the
conventions of both of the great politi:
cal parties and dictate to them the
candidates they should put in nomina-
tion. This they were successful in
doing until their agent, Grover Cleve-
land, in the Presidential chair, under
took to handle the members of his
own party and the country in such a
coarse and brutal manner that it caus-
ed revolution which resulted in the
Democratic party in convention in
1896 freeing itself from the dominion
of this creditor octopus. The gold
combination well knew that if the lines
could be drawn in politics in such a
way that the people could vote for or
against them by making an intelligent
choice in national election, that their
doom was sealed. They played their
game with great skill ane prudence
for many years. Emerson has said
that ..the devil is always an ass" The
money power in using Cleveland to do
their work and encouraging him to
adopt such vigorous and unrefined
methods proves the truth of Emerson's
saying. SilUer Knight Wdtchman.

tenfold more liable to sickness and to

1T SHOWED THAT NIGHT.
Governor Mount Recalls an Experience
of Thirty-Six Years Ago.

While in a reminiscent mood last night
Governor Mount said it had probably oc-
Cured to his former fellow soldiers of the
Seventy-second Indiana Volunteers that
Il irty-six years ago last night he, with other
soldiers of the regiment. was making out
muster rolls in the Senate chamber of the
Capitol at Frankfort, KY, preparatory to
starting southwark with Buells army. The
miidness of the present season brought back
TO him the memory Of what the day was
following that night. All the work had
been done by dint of hard effort, maintained
all night, and when the daylight came it
was found that a heavy snowstorm was rag
ing. The men had not yet drawn their over
coats nor mittens. and started out on the
march poorly prepared to face the rigors
of the day.
After, marching all day, the regiment en-
camped at night on the banks of the Salt
river, the temperature at that time being
so low that the river was frozen over with
thin layer of ice. The cold spell did not
last, however. many days, and before an
other one came the men were provided with
all the clothing necessary.

NO MORE "KLEPTOMANIACS."
Judge Cox VIII Hereafter Deal with
Spades Spades.

Mrs. Caroline Sellers, who gave her name
at the police station as "Sallie Reed was
sent to the workhouse yesterday from Po-
lice Court with a fine of $25 and costs and
two days confinement as a sentence. She
was charged with shoplifting, and bailed
herself out at the police station when she
was arrested with money from roll that
looked like it contained several hundred dol
lars. The plea was made that the woman's
mind was weak-she is fifty-fve years old
and at first Judge Cox was inclined to be
lenient with her While he had the case
under advisement he learned that Mrs.
Sellers should not be pitied extravagantly.
and so dealt out punishment to her yester
day. The police judge has let several shop
filters go free, but his sympathy for ''klep-
tomaniacs" Is about used up, and he de-
cided that it would be advisable to make an
example in Mrs. Sellerss case. Matron
Gregoire took Mrs. Sellers TO the work
house in order that she might be spared the
ride in the patrol wagon with the usual

NO "STUFFING" ALLOWED.
The L. A. w. CIamors for a Pure Raj
lot BOx.

The agitation over the maintenance of
pure ballot box in the coming L. A. w.
election has aroused all the members of the
returning board. All of them yesterday as
serted in unmistakaDle terms that each one
would personally see that no "stuffing' was
done by any one in the league The regula-
tions for voting in L. A. w. elections can be
made absolutely proof against such prac-
tees, and the returning board proposes to
see that no underhand methods are resorted
to by any one at this election. All the ball
lote are sent in by mail and are not opened
until the returning board meets on or after
Nov. Is. The ballots are then counted,
sealed up and stored away for ninety days,
during which period any member of the
league has the privilege of calling for any
vote that may be questioned. This privilege
the returning board desires all members to
take advantage of. by this means a
forged ballot can be traced to a certainty.
Whenever member has not voted, and it is
desired to make test, any member can call
for that ballot, and if it is found it is con-
elusive evidence that it has been forged.

STARTED AT A WEDDING
HISTORY OFF AN EPIDEMIC OF TY-
PHOID FEVER IN WARREN COUNTY.
Germs of Disease Thought to Have
Been Brought by a Danville,
ILL.,, Caterer.

In speaking yesterday of the mysterious
ways in which typhoid fever travels and the
sIowness of the people to protect themselves
from its ravages, DR.. j. N. Hurry, of the
State Board of Heath, called attention to
report which came to him yesterday after
noon. The document in itself tells a bad
enough tale, but the history of the case as
traced by the state board illustrates fully
the Importance of general revival of agi-
tation along the lines of sanitation. The
report. as Dr. Hurry first received it, was
from West Lebanon Warren county, and
told of forty inhabitants of that small town
being i'll with typhoid fever. There had
previously been none of this sickness there,
and the sanitary conditions of the neighbour
hood were supposed to be above the aver
age. The suddenness of the attack, how
ever, set the state board to wondering
where it all originated, and in the course
Of a few months work the following facts
were disclosed:
Early last spring a Danville, Ill., caterer
furnished refreshments for wedding in
that city, and within week afterward
nearly all the guests who had been present
and eaten of the food prepared were taken
sick with typhoid fever. Several of them
died, but at that time the connection of the
disease with the banquet furnished by the
caterer was not suspected. Nothing was
done by the Illinois health department to
ascertain the cause of the epidemic, which
was finally placed under control. Near the
close of September, however another we'd
ding occurred at West Lebanon, Ind; the
feast was again prepared by the Danville
caterer, and was followed by the same re-
suits. Forty of the guests, comprising all
who partook of the food, were taken sick
within week and are now suffering from
typhoid fever. 1t required careful study and
diligent inquiry to bring all the corroborat-
ing facts to light and connect the Danville
caterer with the illness of the guests at
both weddings, but as soon as it was shown
the board called the attention of the Illinois
State Board of Health to the matter, with
the result that we'll in the catering es-
tablishment Is now to be examined for
germs of typhoid fever. In the meantime
active steps are being taken to prevent the
spread of the disease in West Lebanon, and
it is hoped to destroy all the typhoid germs
before any more people are affected.

VETERANS WILL VOTE
INMATES OF SOLDIERS HOME MAY
CAST THEIR BALLOTS.
Decision of Grant County Court VIII
Stand for the Time-Supreme
Courts Action.

The efforts of the Democratic obstruc-
tionists, who have for some time been
planning to prevent the inmates of the Ma
rion Soldiers Home from voting at this
election, have failed and the veterans will
cast nearly 1920 Republican votes this fall.
Yesterday the Supreme Court set aside the
petition Of the appellants asking for an adj
vancement of the case and the hearing of
oral argument, on the petition of the at
torneys for the appellees, who claimed that
the appellants had not complied with the
law in not notifying them of the filing of
their brief and sending them a copy Of
the line of oral argument which would be
made in the case. They advanced the claim
that the time allowed them to study the
brief was too Short and this fact had pre-
vented them from submitting their brief
in the case Singularly, the attorneys on
neither side have complied with the rules
of the Supreme Court, which states spe-
officially that: Counsel asking for an oral
argument shall state, in the form of concise
propositions properly numbered, the points
they propose to argue, and to each of the
propositions shall append the authorities
relied on as supporting it," and that "a
copy of it shall be mailed or delivered to
opposing counsel at least ten days before
the time appointed for the oral argument"
In handing down the decision the court
made request that the attorney general
appear in the case for the people to protect
their interests.
The setting aside Of the petition effectual-
ly disposes of the case so far as this cleo
ton is concerned. as there is not now time
in which points could be filed ten days be-
fore oral argument and have this argument
set before election. Under the law the de-
cision Of the Grant County Court in hold
ing that the soldiers were entitled to vote
in effect compels the authorities to accept
the votes of the inmates of the home.
The decision has an important bearing
at this time in that had the decision of the
Supreme Court been rendered adversely to
that Of the lower court, Representative
Steele's chances for reelection would have
been Jeopardized. Nearly all the inmates
of the home are Republicans and will give
about 200 votes to the Republican candi-
dates.
The statement that the Democrats Of
Grant county intended, in the event that
the Supreme Court failed to pass on the
case before election. to ask for an injunc-
ton restraining the soldiers from voting, is
believed to be without foundation. 1t is
the opinion that the case will be allowed
to rest until the higher court reaches a
decision.
