EVERY VOTE COUNTS.

In very short time now, the vot-
ers of this country will be called on
to decide who shall not be returned
to congress. One of the main points
every eligible voter should consider
is the Importance of casting his vote.
The coming election comes at time
commonly designated as an "off year"
period That is between presidential
elections. and a great many voters
feel that the success of their party
at the polls does not depend upon
their attendance. They make a great
mistake, however, as it is their duty
to exercise their right to vote every
time an election comes
The election this fall in the Sixth
District is particularly important.
James f. Watson, for many years our
representative in the House, is up
for reelection and deserves the sup
port of every true Republican. Presi-
dent Roosevelt has personally sent
the call throughout the land for Re-
publican representatives to be return
ed and with a good reason. He has
been and still is at war with the
great forces behind the corporations
and he needs a Republican congress
TO aid him in his great WORK of re-
turning this country to its rightful
owners again-the people. Mr..
Roosevelt was but partially success
full during the last session of con
gress. for the forces of the corpor-
ations arrayed against him are ire
mendously powerful and are not to
be defeated i'll one skirmish. And
last session of congress may we'll be
termed only a skirmish preceding the
ely follow the opening of the next
congress
If President Roosevelt is to win
in his great conflict he must have
the support of true Republicans in
the majority in both the House and
the Senate. The voters of the sixth
district cannot help him with regard
TO the Senate, but they can and
will help in the House by returning
once more James f. Watson who
has so long and so faithfully repre-
sented them there. The great pros
perity of the country is fitting testf-
nonial as TO whether or not the Re
publican party deserves to be main
tained in control of the government.
so let every voter recognize the inn
portance of his vote on election day
and let him do his duty. If you vote
then you are doing your part to.

Your absence from the polls simply
encourages his opponents. for the

Illinois Miners and Operators.

Chicago, Oct. 25.-The executive
boards OF the Illinois Coal Operators
association and of the Coal Miners
union met here to adjust certain diff
ferences that have arisen between
them The chief matter slated for
discussion was the fact that the min
ers have been making holiday on
October II, which is the anniversary
OF a riot at Verden, Ills, when a num-
Der of men were killed The operators
declare that this holiday is a direct
violation of the agreement between
the miners and the operators Other
matters to be taken up will be the
closing down Of some of the mines on
other occasions. prices of coal and
the discharges of men in the last
year. It is believed by both sides
that all differences will be amicably
adjusted

1t is hard to conceive how any fair
minded Republican in any district of
Indiana can vote for Democratic
candidate for Congress, knowing full
we'll that should there be a Demo
cratic majority in Congress at the
next session that the work started by
President Roosevelt for the better
ment of all the people, would be at a
standstill and could never be COM
pleted. OF course there will be some
Democratic members of Congress
who will stand with Roosevelt and
likely as not there will be some Re
publicans who will oppose him, but
with a Republican majority there is
no question that the good work will
so on.

That Building BugabOo
 Sl1rinks Into Nothing

Not few people have been deterred from building homes this summer by the idea that the cost of house construction has increased enormously within the past twelve months. In the interest of the development of the city REALTY has had an expert architect who Is thoroughly familiar with all conditions which surround the building trade make a careful estimate of the cost of build ing Q house today as compared with the cost one year ago. This work has been done conscientiously and the figures are accurate. The estimates are for an eight room house to cost about S4OO0. and the comparative showing s as follows;
 The brick work will cost about $5 more than last year
 The lumber will cost $l0o more.
 The cost of painting is the same
 The cost of glass frames. doors hard ware, etc, is the same.
 The cost of shingles is the same.
 The cost of clustering is s25 additional The cost of plumbing is the same.
 The cost of wiring is the same.

 No wonder some of we folks are so dried up and tallow-faced.
 By the way, speaking of 30 cents, we are also previously reminded that there are, so to speak, some "30-cent" corporations (measuring their souls CD by ,neir public spiriD, as well as the famous .'30-cent man."
 When we remember that probably con siderably over three-fourths of the pro- duce, chickens. eggs, butter, fruits, etc., are shipped into Birmingham, and that this money goes abroad; that the Birming- ham housewife and her family must pay the tariff, and put up with bad quality besides, would 1t not be a good business policy to make the money-malSlng indus tries bear their fair and just share of tax burdens after they are once we'll es- tablished and on a paying basis, and if We want to give anything, then donate this tax fund and supplement 1t by pop ular subscription, to be used along prac- tical lines for the encouragement of these smaller industries that will make living for the masses in Birmingham cheaper and more tolerable?
 We will be one of five hundred to donate SlO0 each to be devoted to that purpose. and five hundred such subscribers would mean s50,000 fund: or we would be one of five hundred to subscribe $2O0 each to that purpose, making a $100, GOO fund to be used in that cause, the wisdom of which, under judicious and faithful handling, would In the course of time be fully demonstrated.

The cost of heating is the same.
 The cost of labor Is the same.
 Total increase cost, 3A per cent.
 This Is a very small increase, and our authority says much of 1t is due to the demand on the part of home-builders for better construction and to the more rigid requirements of the building laws. In other words. the house of this year repre- sents more value for the money than the same house last year. Taking this fact into consideration, we may say that the cost of building at this time this year Is practically the same as 1t was last year
 Those who delay buying a lot and building on 1t this summer will find that the increase in the value of real estate within the next twelve months will amount to considerably more than that 3A per eent-probably three or four times as much
