hlrelng men TO stay away from the
polls is dangerous business and what
eyer may be the looseness of the law,
no man will care TO be convicted of
such crime. 1t will be remembered
that Kentucky republicans disregarded
all law TO keep the state offices, but the
law overpowered them and some of the
politicians, prominent though they were,
are now behind prison bars. No man
with spark of principle will listen to
such methods, whatever may be his
political advantage by resorting to
them. Above all things, be men.
No republican in the county of Mar
shall can afford to commit q crime for
his own benefit much Less for the sd-
vantage of his political party. As a
word of warning To republicans of this
county who lave been assigned the
dirty work by the leaders, the Inde-
pendent gives this caution because it
would seriously regret to see anyone
get into trouble because Of over zeal in
efforts for party supremacy.

The Indianapolis Flower mission is
making an effort to have hospital for
cOnsumptives built. This disease,
which Is termed by some the great
white death, seems tC be largely on the
increase in certain localities, notwith-
standing the efforts of the most skillful
physicians and specialists to hold it in
check. Mrs Lewis Wallace, jr., re-
Gently read paper before the flower
mission making strong plea for the
adoption Of measures which should as
far as possible hold this dread disease in
check and at the same time she urged
that some provision be made for those
who are afflicted with it, Among other
things she said, "The state provides for
it's blind, its deaf and dumb its luna
tics, idiots and it's poor, why not for its
consumptivesp p' Whether the project
advocated shall prove to be practical or
not it is well to call public attention
frequently to the dangers of this dis
ease, to the end that means of some
kind may yet be devised to check its
ravages.

Joke on Hill a Son.

Michael Speishoffer enjoyed a good
dinner yesterday at the expense of Hill
& Son. One of the clerks at the bakery
made a mistake in handling an order
and 1t was on account of this mistake
that Mike had such good luck. Charles
Shaded, the druggist, ordered his dinner
delivered to the store. The clerk at
Hills delivered the dinner in the rear
of the Speishoffer building instead of
the drug store as was intended Nike
happened to be seated at the table
when the dinner arrived and thinking
that Mr.. Hill wanted to treat him real
nice proceeded to devour the dinner
Later Shaded sent word that his dinner
had not arrived and the mistake was
discovered. 1t IS needless to state that
all appreciated the blunder, especially
Mr.. SpeishOffer, as he insists that there
Ia no such pleasure ss getting square

Times For RFyan.

The Philadelphia Times, which sup
ported Mckinley for president four
years ago, has come out for Bryan.
The Times In its editorial columns
says:
The Times has been unfailingly hos
lam Mckinley particularly was iden-
fed, such as the monopoly breeding,
dehcit-producing tarlll that bore his
name Yet, four years ago, In the
sudden crisis that divided the councils
of the democratic party and for the
time being seemed TO have checked its
great career, it seemed better to The
Times, as to many other leading demo
cratic papers, TO sustain Mr. Mckin-
leys election as president rather than
that of MIR. Bryan. The decision was
made IN good faith. The result has
shown it to be wrong 1t is repented
and recanted.
All of the evils and the periIs of the
so-cslled republican policy have re-
turned seveEfold, developed and ex-
tended till the very foundations of the
government seem threatened. A false
economic system has resulted in vast
combines OF capital that throttle in
dividusl industry and hold control over
all the functions of the government,
and the spokesman of the sdministra-
tion, representative of one OF these
great trusts, is calling upon his fellow
capitalists for contributions to buy
another four years license TO rob an
Otner four years life for their inflated
and false prosperity.
The government thus controlled has
found its fittest expression in schemes
OF military conquest and the blood and
treasure of the nation are poured out
to subdue distant people and rob
them of these rights of liberty and in
dependence that America has always
| claimed for all mankind.
lmperlelis,E and nilitsrism are the
natural Outgrowth of commercislism
in politics, of the power of the few
over the many, the elevation of money
over manhood, with all the system of
special privileges and corrupt control
that the republican party since the
civil war has increasingly fostered.
The upholders of this system are them
selves aware of its hOllOwness and are
calling for aid from the money power
to bolster IL up for time longer. The
condition is one that the country must
meet and meet now, and the way TO
meet it is by resssertion of the demo
cratic idea and the election of a demo-
cratic president.
The nation is in peril from threatened
subversion of the power of the land
that is supporting the Capitalization
of capital against the interests of labor;
that is debauching our political system
by the open collection of millions of
money from protected trusts to expend
IN the national political cor test, and
that has insugursted a reign of reckless
protigscy and extravaganza unexam-
pied in the history of the nation. 1t
must be halted by the people if they
would preserve their own government,
| ''of the people, by the people for the
people" and 1t can be done only by the
election of William j Bryan as the next
president.
