Sudden Popularity of Bituminous Coal

The Chicago Inter-Ocean says the
sale of anthracite coal in that city has
been permanently injured by the coal
strike in Pennsylvania. BY being COM
PEELED 80 use soft coal the people have
learned by experience that it answers
quite as well purpose as the hard
coal. Fred BuSse of the Busse- Rey-
nOldS Coal Co., one of fine largest coal
dealers in Chicago, was interviewed by
the Inter Ocean who said:
''This increase in demand for smoke
less bituminous Goals will come from
all classes of people. And chiefly it
will come from houSeholders and own
ers of fiat buildings where hot water
and steam are used for heating pur-
poses. The fire-box boilers can be &C
commodated to the use of soft coal.
Now that landlords are finding how
simply and economically soft coal can
be burned the majority of them, in
my opinion, will never return to the
use of anthracite. The only thing
that would compel them to do SC
would be a strike in the bituminous
fields.

And He Says That President Roosevelt Is
In Entire Agreement with
Him.

Chicago, Oct. pa free trade I'M
ion of the United States with Cuba,
Porto Rico, Mexico and Canada against
the nations of Europe, as a means of
extending the commercial supremacy
of the United States, was advocated by
General James II. Wilson, of Whining
ton, Del, in speech before the Com
mercial club at the Auditorium. Gen
eral Wilson spoke on the subject "Our
Relations with Cuba" but, after advo-
eating free trade with the island, he
launched into the broader theme, in
which he declared he shared in the
views of President Roosevelt.
Speaking of Canada he said that
free trade should be given to the Do
mini0n only on condition that it extend
the American tariff wall against Great
Britain. He declared also that the
Monroe doctrine applied to Canada as
well as the countries of Central and
South America, and should England
ever make its government of the col
onies oppressive it would be the duty
Of the United States to interfere. The
TELLER" paragraph to the Cuban war
resolution which was intended to make
stronger the declaration that Cuba
was and should be free and indie
pendent" he declared "silly."

INDIANA THE MOST ECO
N0MICALLY MANAGED
STATE IN The UNION

When 1t comes to the election of
your vote means one of two things
either you do or you don't care wheth-
er or not the states business is carried
on in an economical, businesslike
manner in which you would want
company in which you were
stakeholder to be conducted.
Either you will cast your vote in favor
of continuing the present debt-destroy-
ing, expense-reducing state admins
tration, or you will express perfer-
ence for a start in a new direction.
This is as certain as the result of an
arithmetical process, correctly carried
outfit experience teaches anything.
Here are the facts: Indiana is to-
day the most economically managed
state in the Union. Within the past
seven years of Republican control a
state debt of seven and half million
dollars has been cut in two, and. with
present conditions continued, will soon
be wiped out. The tax levy, fixed at
IS cents on the 500 under the last
period of Democratic control of state
affairs, has been reduced under the
Republican regime to IA cents. All
this has been accomplished in spite
of the expenditure of more than ST.
100000 in the permanent improvement
of the state penal and charitable in
stitutions, the completion of the SOL
diers' monument and the establish
ment of the state soldiers home at
Lafayette. Reform laws have been
passed which have reduced the bur-
dens of local taxation and have result
ed in the turning into the states treas
ury of thousands of dollars in fees
which formerly went to private Golfers.
The per capita cost of the maintenance
of the states wards in various institu-
tons has been materially decreased.
Republican state and legislative can
didates stand for a continuance Of
these conditions, and you have a
chance to indorse or repudiate the
record.

Old Census Reports.

Old census reports show some things
that seem strange at present. That
of 1900 showed 951 African slaves i'm
Connecticut, 135 in Indiana, II, PAP in
New Jersey, 2O,343 in New York,
LOG in Pennsylvania and 3Sl in
Rhode Island. The report of 1910
shows a material reduction in the
number of slaves in all the states
named except Indiana, which had in
creased to 237. Illinois, which was
not enumerated in 1900, had les
slaves in 1910. In 1920 the number
in Indiana was reduced 10 100. In
1910 there were three slaves reported
in the state, but they had disappeared
before the next census. AS late as
1880 there were still some slaves in all
of the states above named. including
IS in New York, 403 in Pennsylvania,
1884 in New Jersey. rs IN Connecti-
cut, and so on in diminishing num-
bers except that Illinois had increased
to TAI. In all the northern states,
however. the institution had been
abolished at fixed dates and was dy-

Letter to II. e. Buck.
PLYMOUTH, IND.


DEAR SIR: We want an agent in
your town for the foremost paint in
the world; Devoe Ready Paint. We
bespeak few words to say how much
more this means than simply the sale
of good paint.
Our agent has to administer this
agreement with every customer.
''If you have any fault to find with
this paint, either now in putting it
on, OF hereafter in the wear, tell your
dealer about It,"
"We authorize him to do what is
right at our expense"
We become, you see, the partner of
every man that uses our paint; and
the partnership lasts as long as he
chooses to continue it.
Suppose 100 jobs of painting are
done with Devoe Ready Paint this
year; and some of them don't turn
out satisfactory TWO or three years
from now. Our agent has got to 'do
what is right at our expense"
OF course this means that we know
our paint is going to turn out all
right.
We have been in business, we and
our fathers in business, AS years;
have made great deal of paint; and
have dealt with thousands and thouS-
ands of people. Are not in the least
afraid to 'do what is right" when a
job goes wrong.
There is such thing as honest bust
ness yet in the world.
Yours truly,
K. w. DEvoE s. Co.

What the Polls Show.

The polls taken by the state CON-
mittees show, according TO members
of each, that the state is going large
ly both republican and democratic.
The republican leaders are claiming
the state by %, 900 and the democrats
say they will capture Indiana by from
II, 900 to Is, 200.
The poll books show. however a
state of affairs that has never existed
before. There is an unusually large
number of men in every county of the
state who will noa tell how they in
tend voting and they are put Oh the

afternoon while playing near his home,
and despite the stringent efforts made
by a posse of 400 men and brace
of bloOdhounds no trace can be found
of the boy. The boy left the house
at noon, and nothing was thought of
his absence until supper time, when
q search was made for him, but he
could not be found, and it was thought
he was drowned in the creek near
town. Since then the search has been
Kept up night and day.
The blOOdhounds worked the scent
to the creek and the stream was
dragged for miles. All business in the
town was suspended and every citi-

to find a clew to the missing boy. The
only tangible clew yet found is that a
stranger i'm a covered wagon was seen
on the streets Tuesday afternoon. The

for the safe return of the boy. DR..
