Russia's Unblushing Mendacity.
Philadelphia Record.

Russia Is pursuing in regard to Man ehuria the same diplomatic policy that has marked the history of Muscovy from the beginning. The chief feature of this policy is its unblushing mendac- ity. While protesting to have no desire to attach Manchuria to the Russian Em- pire, every step of the Government at St Petersburg in its relations with China has been in that direction. But so fa- rriliar are the nations with the methods of Russia that not one of them has been in the least deceived by the latest move ment of it's diplomacy. The Russian bear has been merely licking this Manchu- rian morsel in order the more easily to swallow 1t.

What is Needed.

 What is needed in Indiana at this time is a Democratic Governor.

Britt kept his man going in every period
There was never a time that he was not
ready to carry the battle to the other man,
and for the first seven or eight rounds he
was more than willing to mix it whenever
his antagonist showed like desire.
He found, however, that his strongest
work was In standing away and coming in
when he would land either his body blow
