DAME FORTUNE
Has Played a Prominent Part in the
Life of John L. Griffiths.

\ number of travelling men were
at the Westeott last evening engag-
ed in conversation on the political
situation of Indiana. 1t was gener-
ally conceded that Congressman
Hemenway was the most popular
candidate. but the chances OF other
candidates We're also discussed. The
name of John l.. Grifliths was
brought up and one of the men who
is very prominent i'll politics In the
Western part fof the State told of a
number Of instances in Mr.. Grifliths
career in which Dame Fortune had
played a large part. He said: "Last
year Mr.. Griffiths was visiting a
friend in Russia and while thdre
was told of captive balloon com
pany which needed financial backing.
Mr. Griffiths did not think any more
Of the subject until this campaign
when he was seated on a train and
a gentleman asked him If he knew of
Il place where good financial in
vestment could be made. Mr.. Grif-
fiiths happened to think Of the cap
tive balloon business and in spirit
of fun told the man about it. In
about five weeks Mr.. Grif1iths re-
ceived a check for $4,000 from his
friend in Russia. The cheek was ae-
companied by letter which stated
that the $4,000 was Mr.. Grif1iths
share in making sale of stock in
the balloon company"

PALLADIUM 100
new 0ILzWELL
Found by Machinists Oil Company
Near Muncie.

Muncie, Ind, November IT,
Two miles Or more from the nearest
oil well and IN absolutely wildcat
territory, six miles north of Muncle,
the Machinists Oil Company, while
drilling on the C. E. Marsh farm,
brought in one of the largest pro-
ducers of the Muncie field. Its in
itial production is more than tank
a day. Operators have turned their
eyes toward what gives promise OF
being a new rich field. The well is
near Royerton.
Evidence that the Delaware coun-
ty oil field is not easily exhausted
and that it is not likely soon to give
out, Notwithstanding stories to that
effect sent out from other cities, is
shown by a well brought In on the
Delaware county infirmary farm this
week by the Providence Oil Com
pany. \ large number of wells on
this farm have been pumping stead
ily for five years, but the well drill
ed in this week started out with a
daily production Of $50 barrels, and
probably when it settles will be good
for 100 barrels more. The well
filed with 1000 feet Of oil as soon
as the oil-bearing rock was pene-
trated and was put to pumping with
out being shot.

He saw the rollways breaking out

", but not zealously. The work moved
slowly. At Christmas number of the

while men were not plenty neither was

MUST GUARD SPEECH
GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES MUST
BE CAREFUL IN TALKING OF
RUsso.JAP WAR.
Executive Order Received by Eest-
master Wilson From President
RooseveIt-say Nothing to Offend
Either of the Principals in the War.

Postmaster F. w. Wilson has receiv
ed an executive order from
President Roosevelt to the effect thai
all government employees whether in
civil, military or naval service must
refrain from such action or speech
which would cause offense or irritation
to be given to either of the principals
in the far eastern conflict between
Russia and Japan. The executive order
is to prevent government employees
from taking too radical stand on
either side and is as follows:
T Cali officials of the government, civ
il, military and naval, are hereby
directed not only to observe the Presi
dents proclamation of neutrality in the
pending war between Russia and Japan
but also to abstain from either action
or speech which can legitimately cause
irritation to either of the combatants
The governm ent of the United States
represents the people of the United
States not only in the sincerity with
which it is endeavoring to keep the
scales of neutrality exact,and even, but
in the sincerely with which it deplores
the breaking out Of the present war
and hopes that 1t will end at the EARL
est possible moment and with the
smallest possible loss to those engaged
Such war inevitably increases and in
flames the susceptibilities of the com
batants to anything in the nature of an
injury or slight by outsiders. Too often
combatants make conflicting claims
as to the duties and obligations Of neu
trails, so that even when dischargins
those duties and obligations with
scrupulous care it is difficult to avoid
giving offense to one or the other par
ty. To such unavoidable causes Of Of
tense, due to the performance Of ma
tional duty, there must not be added
any avoidable causes.
at is always unfortunate to bring
old world antipathies and jealousies
into our life, or by speech or conduct
to excite anger and resentment toward
our nation in friendly foreign lands;
but in a government employe whose
official position makes him in some
sense the representative of the people
the michief of such actions is greatly
increased. A strong and self-confident
nation should be peculiarly careful not
only of the rights but of the suscepti
bilities of itssneighbors; and nowadays
all of the nations of the world are
neighbors one to the other. Courtesy
moderation and self-restraint should
mark international, no less than priv
ate intercourse.
"All the officials of the government
civil, military and naval are expected
so to carry themselves, both in act ant
in deed as to give no cause of just OF
tense to the people of any foreign an6
friendly power-and with all mankind
We are now in friendship.
