Where Bread was Expensive.

Philip Harman, who lives in Wayne
township, Armstrong county, near
Dayton while in Punxsutawney the
other day told how he had once paid
$500 for few buns and thought he was
doing well. He was in Belle Island
Prison during the Civil War and hav-
ing note for S125 payable in gold with
six per cent interest at the Indiana
Bank, he exchanged it for $40 in Con-
federate money and note for the bal
ance. A dollar in gold was then worth
about 1928 in greenbacks, and he never
realized anything on the note, he gave
what was equivalent to $500 in United
States currency for $40 in Confederate
currency, worth at that time perhaps
one dollar in gold. For the Confederate
money he received few buns, and to
a man in Belle Island Prison at that
time bunn was cheap at 800. Conse-
quently Mr.. Harman thought he made
a mighty good al-Punxsutawney
Spirit.

The appointment of Mr.. Cortelyou,
Secretary to the President, to the head
of the new Department of Commerce
and Labor, when created, is generally
conceded. Many men in the Presi-
dents position would be too selfish to
suffer the loss of Mr.. Cortelyon's SER
vice as secretary, even to secure to him
a promotion that he we'll merits.
Many people have forgotten that the
Monroe Doctrine was first outlined by
Great Britain. The United States can
better take care of itself than can Can
ada, and than England can care for
Canada. While the Monroe Doctrine
stands, Canada, with her immense
boundaries difficult to garrison and
protect, is safe from European aggres-
sion.

Senate that every Democratic senator

jokingly, the other day. 81 object"
shouted Senator Tillman, following his
usual custom. "The objection is well
taken" remarked Senasor Frye.

A Scientific Discovery.

Kodol does for the stomach that which
it is unable to do for itself, even when
but slightly disordered or overloaded.
kodol supplies the natural juices of diges-
tion and does the work OF the stomach, re-
laxing the nervous tension, while the in
tiamed muscles Of that organ are allowed
to rest and heal. Kodol digests what you
cat and enables the stomach and digestive
organs to transform all food into rich,
red blood. II. G.. Dodson.

Politics VerV Costly,

Remove News, CDemJ
One of the worst evils with which
Clinton county has had to contend with
for some years past is the too fragrant
use ofmoney, or; in other words Doodle
in politics. There was a time when
good and honest men in Clinton had no
hesitancy in coming forward for office,
but that is all changed today. Politics
has become sort of business affair,
and the man who to-day consents to
run for Office must submit to being held
up on the highways and byways, and
if he refuses he we'll knows what awaits
him.
Yet the very people who are guilty
of this outrage are generally to be
found in the front ranks shouting for
the good of the party to which they
swear allegiance. They go to conven-
tions, nominate ticket and then tell
you what an excellent ticket it is, but
they never say word about the Doodle
part Of it and the role they played in
this game of the highwayman.
The time has come when aspirants
for Office in both parties are beginning
to realize that the Doodle end must be
eliminated, The payment of legiti-
mate expenses is not objected to, but
the placing of voters on the auction
block and knocking them down to the
highest bidders is an outrage OH honest
politics and injustice to an honest and
deserving man who would otherwise
seek a nomination.
1t has been said that determined
effort would be made during the next
campaign to eliminate it, but this we
are afraid can only be accomplished by
the candidates entering an agreement
and keeping it. There is no reason
why any man anywhere in the State
should be compelled to spend at least a
years salary to be elected to Office.
Yet such is and has been frequently
the case.
This condition of affairs exists in this
county, and the men principally re
sponsible for il were the leaders of sew.
eral years ago. These men at that
time set the pace, and To undo it now
will no doubt prove n mighty hard
task, because the heelers have been
educated to it and they expect it and
generally get all they want.
Notwithstanding all this the system
can be and ought 10 bel improved upon,
providing the proper course il pursued
/ By the candidates who seek office.
/ Honest men aud honest newspapers
will undoubtedly Join in the movement
I % give the county honest and better
politics.
