MORTUARY
Benjamin F. Head.

BENJAMIN T. Head.
Benjamin f. Head died at his home
on Sophia street, Saturday evening.
August 20, 1908, aged I, years, S
months and Is days.
He was born in Marion county, H.
diana; grew to manhood on a farm,
and when soldiers for the preservation
of the union were needed he was
among the first to enlist, and as a
member of the Goth Indiana regiment
did valiant service for three years,
and then reinlisted to serve during
the war.
At the battle of Spottsylvania he
was taken prisoner and for over nine
months endured starvation and all
the hardships and privations of An
jacksonville and Florence.
In February, 1865, having been ex-
changed, he reached home almost a
living skeleton.
He seemed to regain health and
strength. but was never again the
strong man that enlisted in 1851, and
after long illness caused by what he
suffered in rebel prisons, he has aD-
swered the last roll call and is num-
bered with the dead.
He was united in marriage with
Miss Louisa Nash at Argos, April Is,
1865, and for more than 3s years, as
husband and wife they were among
the best citizens of Indiana. Five
cbildren-three sons and two daugh.
tiers, with their mother-are left to
mourn the death of father and huS-
band, who was always faithful, kind
and true; a man who, as citizen,
neighbor and friend. had the respect
of all who knew him.
OF the members of his fathers large
family, who were pioneers OF Indiana,
only one brother and one sister are
ielt.
Deceased had been for % years a
member OF the Church of God. and
the funeral was held Monday at that
church in this city at O'Clock p. M,
and the remains laid to rest in Oak
Hill cemetery.

In his admirable address at the
Minnesota state fair Senator Fair
banks gave utterance to these indIs-
putable truths: "The deluded law
breaker is the enemy of society. So,
also, Is the intelligent citizen who is
Indifferent to the discharge Of his
civic duties. II the order respecting
elector fails to secure good laws and
competent officers to execute them
because of his own neglect, he must
stand morally responsible for many Of
the offenses which disgrace society.
Both the violator of the law and the
intelligent citizen who is recreant to
bis sacred duty must stand together
in the pillory of public condemna-
tion."

Thoughtful words are these, utter
ed by Senator Fairbanks at st. Paul:
"Above all things we should avoid the
demagogue as a pestilence, and take
counsel only OF feason and right.
There is no wrong we have not the
power to remedy or prevent, and that
power we should exercise with wis
dom and unflinching purpose. We
should safeguard legitimate enter
prise, fair competition, and capital
properly employed. Neither the ap-
peal of prejudice nor the voice Of
greed should swerve us from this pur-
pose. 1t is as much our imperative
duty to protect capital and labor in
the free and proper exercise of their
functions Is 1t Is to restrain and 7or-
bid the encroachments Of wrong. .

The worst fault of the American
people is that they care nothing for
their public affairs, and not only vote
fol their public nominees without re-
gard to their qualifications or charac-
ter, but in a great number of cases do
not vote at all, The Lynchburg, Va,
News. commenting on this fact, shows
that in the presidential election Of
1900 the total number of votes cast
was 1889, 653. According to the
census figures there were 20, s29, s19
persons of voting age. So it appears
that $3.50, I66 citizens of voting age
were eithr DISTINGUISHED or disfran-
chised themselves by failing to go to
the polls.
The total number Of negroes Of vot-
ing age in the As states of the union
is 2,026. 1851. Subtract this number
from $50, 1875 who did not vote in
1900 and you have remainder of A.
843,315. So, If the whole negro vote
be eliminated, or rather counted
among the disfranchised, you still
have twice as many voters who have
failed to make use Of the ballot, and
tDe majority of them will be found 10
such states as Massachusetts, New
York, Pennsylvania and Ohio-states
which boast of their educational sys-
tenn ard the small percentage Of illit-
eracy in their population. In Massa-
chusetts, for instance. the possible
vote was S43. 465. and the actual vote
was Ala, 301.-New Orleans Picayune.

It is true that the constitution does
not say that president and vice pres
ident of the United States shall not
be elected from the same state, but it
does say that The electors shall meet
in their respective states and vote by
ballot for president and vice president,
one of whom, at least, shall not be an
lnhabitant OF the same state with
themselves. Consequently, as polit-
zeal parties are now constituted, a
president and vice president cannot be
taken from the same state.

The democratic convention In Obi

The democratic convention in Ohio
simply registered the action OF the
state committee. Some people are
wondering why such conventions meet
at all as the members are mere lockers
on. But right here in Indiana GER
tain postmasters proclaim that it is
an insult to the people to even init
mate that any republican who is not
controlled by them should be allowed
a voice in a convention or even know
what county committees are doing. In
such counties republicans are always
beaten as badly at the polls as the
democrats are In Ohio.
