All the state debt has now been
wiped out except a series of bonds
which are not payable until 1910
What These Figures Show.
These official figures show that dur
ing three periods of Republican ad-
ministration in Indiana since 1860,
the state debt has been reduced in the
aggregate over $4,000, 900, a sum suf-
fcient to extinguish it but for CORE
spending increases under periods of
Democratic control
That during every period of Demo-
cratic administration the state debt
and interest were increased.
That never before in Indiana's his
tory has the state debt been reduced
more rapidly than during the present
era of Republican administration be-
ginning with 1895; and, it may be ad-
ded, that never in the history of In
diana was the states debt increased
go rapidly as during the era of Demo
cratic control between 1885 and 1891.
That no era of Democratic state ad-
mfnistration, taken as whole, during
the past half century. has resulted in
decrease of the states Indebtedness;
on the contrary, that the debt itself
is a monument to Democratic fiscal
and legislative mismanagement
These figures are cold facts-rec-
ords of the way the two parties have
managed the states affairs A care
full consideration and examination of
their records should satisfy every
voter which party is worthy the con-
fidence of the people in looking after
the business affairs of Indiana.

FINANCE and COMMERCE

Chicago, H., June 27th.-WHEAT
The market opened dull and with
outany particular for the first half
hour but gradually developed
strength on the uneasiness of the
crop situation in the northwest and
TOO much rain over the northwest
causing reports of red rust to the
spring wheat, this is of course ab-
surd as the plant has no stalk 10
attack as yet. the crop only being
about six weeks old. The market
held firm an during the latter part
OF the session and closed at very near
the top prices for the day.
CORN Ruled higher in sympa-
thy with wheat ana bad crop re
ports from Kansas and Oklahoma.
There was considerable covering of
short contracts in both September
and July ana prices ruled firm all
day, closing at the best figures of the
session.
OATS Market ranged higher un-
DER buying BY cash houses and the
northwest. The pit crowd have been
inclined TO take the bear side of
Oats for the past few days and their
efforts to depress prices have had
some influence, but all in all. the
market held well and closed strong.
PROVISIONS. Market opened
rather firm in sympathy with higher
prices for hogs at the yards, but with
out any particular feature and gra-
dually simmered down to a scalping
affair within very narrow range

Buffalo Calves.

Buffalo calves. as a rule, are born
In April and May. They are active
vigorous little creatures. mild eyed as
domestic calves. but possessing much
greater strength and endurance. In a
few seconds after birth they can get
on their feet. and in twenty minutes
they are fit to fight for their lives.
Usually 1t is unnecessary for them to
defend themselves at this tender age.
as a buffalo cow is quite capable of at
tending to any business which may
arise in connection with the defense OF
her precious baby Washington Star.

Old Woman Thrown Into
Street by Bailiff of
City Court
SCENE WAS PATHETIC
Mentally Unbalanced, Aged Lady
Claims She Owns Home She
Has Occupied

The hand of the law rested heavily
on Mrs. Lizzie Norris of East State
Street today and as a result her
worldly effects are sitting on the side
walk III the rain and she, a widow
alone in the world is homeless.
over a year ago an old woman ap-
preached the three room cottage on
State St and found it a ramshackle
affair with the windows broken the
roof leaking and the doors off their
hinges.
Long ago her husband died leaving
three sons for her to support. She
did this to the best of her ability
until they were grown to manhood
and then forgetting the sacrifices
their mother had made for them they
went out into the world and soon for
got her.
The poor woman deserted by those
to whom she looked to for support
in her declining years was forced to
earn living as best she could.
AT first she succeeded in earning
enough to provide the comforts of life
but constant brooding over the in
Justice that had been done her has
unbalanced her mind and consequent
ly reduced her earning capacity un-
til one by one she lost chair, table
a carpet, some dishes until even the
&hxao ff4fIa ronr,ac mara ha
The police had informed her from
time to time since last January that
a writ of restitution could be served
upon her unless she vacated the
heS@s. But the woman was under
the impression, whether founded in
fact or not, that she could make the
dingy cottage her home as long as
she paid the taxes on it. She claims
she had done this and was therefore
entitled to the house for year but
Louie Roth the agent for j. l.. Shelf
field demanded possession and OF
course the police could do nothing
but enforce the law.
Offieer Shine approached the house
and opened the door. The old lady
was washing the few remaining
strands of her reddish hair. The Of
ficer told her of the object of his mis-
sion and in spite of her pleadings
which grew louder and louder and
was finally turned into the most
eaustic villification, the baliff be-
gan to carry out the furniture.
The job was not hard one, fol
with Fred Frank as helper the dark
musty rooms were soon emptied oi
their contents.
A half hour later when the crowd
of curious spectators had dispersed
threatening rain clouds covered the
sky and it began to rain.
The old woman surrounded by
her household goods was still wash,
ing her scattered strands of hair
AS she felt the drops of rain upoI
her face she looked up and saw tn,
threatening clouds. They'll suffer
for this" was all the poor old sou
could say.

Hits the Binder Irvine Trust.

Indiana farmers are just beginning
to learn that they can secure as good
binder twine at the Michigan City
prison as is made, and at a cost lower
than the trust prices
Two kinds are made at the prison.
Standard and Sisal binder twine,
which are sold at the same price.
there being no difference in the cost
of production. Following is the scale:
so to 1000 lbs. ...s cts. per Ib.
1000 to 10000 lbs. So cts. per lb.
10000 lbs. and over. S1h cts. per ID.
Nothing less than so pounds is sold.
Orders are filled in rotation as re-
ceived. Good notes due September l
following the sale and without inter-
est if paid at maturity are accepted IN
sales of 500 pounds or more AS a
matter of economy and convenience
many farmers have found it satisfac-
tory to unite their orders in clubs, and
a great many shipments win be made
this season on that system The in
stitution guarantees the quality of the
twine and treats all customers every
where with equal courtesy and i'm
partiality. Orders are received at the
prison.

euslnesslike state Administration.

In the past ten years under Repub-
fican administration in Indiana, the
state debt has been reduced from
seven and one-half millions to less
than one million dollars, and during
that time through the same business
like and economical methods the per
capita cost Of maintaining the penal
and benevolent institutions OF the
state has also been greatly reduced.
Ten years ago the per capita cost OF
maintaining these institutions under
Democratic government when prices
were low, was more than SIS more
than now under Republican direction
with prices much higher. This eco
nomieal manner Of conducting the
states affairs Is appreciated By the
people

WHY NOT PROHIBITION?
Conservative Reasons Why Many Be-
levers in Temperance Are Not
Third Party Voters.


In thoughtful editorial the always
sober, sensible and conservative Mad
ison Courier says in answer to the
question, why not prohibition?"
Chiefly because the people are not
prepared for it, and hence 1t could not
be enforced. 1t might be said. also.
if they, the people, were truly in ia
vor of it it would not be needed. This.
however, is only measurably true.
There will always be some people who
will drink to excess, as there are 9TH
ers who will go to excess in other d.
rections. Inasmuch as the people gov
ern IN this country, laws to be effec-
tive must meet their appreciation, and
ultimately be enforced or not accord
ing to their will. Moreover, 1t is not
the gospel method to rely upon force
but upon conviction and moral sua-
sion. Jesus did not go to Rome and
secure legislation establishing his
kingdom. He appealed to the hearts
and consciences of Individual men"
The Courier thinks, too, that both
Democrats and Republicans would ia
vor prohibition if they were convinced
that it would put an end to intemper-
ance:
Opposition to prohibition or refusal
to leave the Republican or Democratic
party in order to secure prohibition,
does not mean that Republicans or
Democrats are favorable to intemper-
ance-it simply means that they are
convinced that prohibition is not the
right way or the best way to deal with
the proposition"
