THE NEW PRIMARY RULES.
PLAN GENERALLY LIKED
Where Delegate Conventions are Held
the Delegates Are to Be Selected
by the Direct Vote of the Party
Applies to Most all Counties.

The republican state committee has
recently made some additions to the
rules governing party nominations
which are calculated to place the con
troll of the political organization more
completely in the hands of the repub-
lican rank and file.
1t is provided that in counties
whose largest town or city has a pop
ulation of more than five thousand in
habitants, delegates in the several
townships, wards and precincts are to
be chosen in primaries at which all
republicans are to'have opportunity to
vote and have that vote counted in
accordance with the rules of the state
committee governing direct primaries.
The selection of election officials
is left with local members of the par
cans of the several precincts, town
ships and counties. A process of ap-
peal, in all matters affecting the rights
of candidates, to the district and state
organization is provided for. One of
the cardinal tenets of republicanism
is the right of all republicans to full
and free participation in the direction
of the affairs of their party and this
principle has been strengthened by
adopting the rules now in force pro-
viding an equal opportunity to every
member of the party for the express
sion of his views in the nomination
of party candidates.

Washington, Sept. 22.-While fin
anciers and politicians continue to
discuss the need of a more elastic
currency, to the bewilderment of the
average citizen, Secretary Shaw finds
it all too elastic at present, in one
sense. al, least, since not in, years has
it been stretched so far from its le-
gal limits by certain gentlemen who
find making money the easiest way
to make money-even at the risk of
landing in Jail.
Secretary Shaw, indeed. together
with the secret service men, finds
that counterfeits and counterfeiters
occupy a large portion of his time.
fact which is all the more regretta-
BILE because great part of surplus
coin is so poorly made as to make
its detection fairly easy were it only
given little scrutiny by the average
citizen whom it takes in. Of course,
it is well to remember certain SIM
pie data A large amount of paper
money, for instance, could never cir
culate at all if people in general
would remember one simple fact
The government always prints its
bills in sheets of four. Each of the
four bills is given a letter, A. B. c. or
d. and number. II it be remem-
bered that bills having the letter A
should, if genuine, leave a remainder
of 1 when their number is divided by
4, all B bills remainder of 2, bills
a remainder of 3, and d bills no re-
mainder at all, many counterfeit notes
now passing as genuine could be inn
mediately be detected through this
simple test. OF course, not all supr
ious bills fail in this requirement, but
while some are extremely difficult to
detect, a great number are absurdly
easy.
When it comes to coins,- there are.
according to fhe Treasury depart
ment, a few well-made counterfeits
and many poor ones. Among others
may be mentioned the coins which.
while not strictly counterfeit, are not
worth their face valueIn this class,
made up of gold coins, come those
in which counterfeiters have bored
small holes in the edge, extracted
some of the gold filling, filled up the
hole with lead and covered it with
gold SO cleverly as to almost defy
detection. From this, attempts to
defraud Uncle Sam range all the way
down to the gold-plated gold pieces.
Like the heather Chinese the coun-
terfeiter has ways that are dark. the
ferreting out of which keeps a good

State Laboratory Has Already
Improved Quality of Goods
on the Market.
SOME VINEGARS STILL BAD
GREAT IMPROVEMENTS NOTICE
ABLE IN SPICES AND ALSO o.
I'VE oILs-WoRK OF THE
STATE CHEMIST
Publishers PressJ

Indianapolis, Ind, Sept. 22-As a
result of the work Of the laboratory
of the state board of health, food and
drug conditions in Indiana have i'm
proved in the last year. This is espe-
cially true as to spices, vinegars,
cording to H. E. Barnard, the chem
list of the laboratory.
Last year about every other sam
rpIe of cloves and pepper was adulter-
ated, usually with ground cocoanut
Shells said Mr.. Barnard. Recent
analyses show that two samples out
of fifty were bad, a considerable inn
provement.
1.-THE wholesalers are protected in
their desire to push the sale of good
goods continued Mr.. Barnard.
Now, when cheaper grades of spices
are asked for they can tell the retail
er that he buys them at his own risk,
as the state law prohibits adulter-
ants, and the state laboratory is en-
forcing the state law. The result is,
unusually, that the retailers buy the
genuine Spices
Mr. Barnard said that there were
still a great many vinegars that were
not what they should be, though the
per cent of adulteration was not more
than half what it was year ago,
when it was 80 per cent. Really
there is only one firm that persists
in selling vinegar that is improperly
labeled he continued, "and that is
a wholesale firm outside the state.
The attitude of the Indiana whole
salers is excellent, many of them re-
fusing to buy vinegars until they
have been tested in our laboratory.
1.-The samples of olive oil that were
bought at the groceries recently were
all good. These were all bottle
goods and their excellence is due, in
part, think to the establishment OF
the port laboratories, which see to it
that all of the imported olive oils are
pure The druggists samples of
mixed oils were not so good, four out
of the last batch of five examined
contained cotton seed, peanut or lard
oils

Winchester, Ind, Sept. 22.-The

cheered by the statement that not

are to be taken from them, for, ac-
cording to decision in Squire Bal

provided he stays in his own yard.
Dutch" Cleyenger was the offender
IN the case. He was charged with in
tOXication, but when it was shown
that he had been on his own premi-
ses at the time of his revelry the
court dismissed the case. Clevenger,
who resides southwest of here is the
village of Unionport, has been up be-
fore on the same charge, and his I'M
expected joy this morning was short
lived. For no sooner had the one
case been dismissed until another
was filed against him for the same
offense. This time it was shown that
the defendant had stayed along the
highway in his state of exaltation
and he was fined sum amounting in
all to about $12.
Ora Green, residing in the same
community, has been indicted Tor
intoxication and carrying concealed
weapons. He is said to have flashed
slug shot heavily loaded with lead.
The information leading to the arrest
of the two men is said to have been
given by woman residing in the
neighborhood, and the only questiona-

blood was shed in vain in Cuba. We
did not go to war for liberty that
liberty should be Knocked. The great
conflict meant something more than
a mere fight. 1t meant something
more than driving Spaniards from the
Western Hemisphere. 1t meant l1ber
ty. and if liberty be impossible under
the Cuban flag it is certain under the
American flag.
Question to Patriotsa
81 ask the American business man
whose markets must continually in
crease; the farmer who seeks an out
let for his products; l ask all Ameri
can producers this question: Is it best
for you that Cuba continue the battle
ground of foolish factions, or that
American law and order should regu
late their industry? l ask every Am
erican lover of liberty this question
Do you feel that the cause of human
freedom would best advance under
the Cuban flag or under that banner
which, wherever it has been lifted
meant practical progress and real
freedom?
''Liberty-that is the method of hui
man progress. 1t is toward liberty
that all mankind is struggling. And
the nation, which, under God is lead
ing the world to liberty is this Amer
lean Republic 1t is for the realiZa-
ton of liberty and it's fruits that all
our laws are passed-for the preserv-
alton and spread Of liberty that all
our wars are fought No American sol
der ever died but gave his life for
liberty and civilization. 1t is as the
agent and instrument of the people S
progressive liberty that the Republic
can party has written its records of
usefulness and glory; and it is as the
worker for an even purer, stronger
liberty that the Republican party ap-
peals to the American people today.

FIGHTING THE REFORMS.

1t is to be regretted that the repre-
sentatives of the manufacturers of pre-
pared foods do not meet the Govern
ment Commissioners in spirit diff
ferent from the one they have shown
in the hearings already held, says the
New York Times. Instead of MAX
ing frank admission of the well known
fact-the fact better known to them
has slowly come to be full of most
evil practices that must be reformed
in the public interest and in obedience
to a thoroughly aroused public de-
mand, these representatives. assume
the air of men who are the victims of
a senseless clamor. They protest ve-
hemently against every suggestion of
change in their methods, and they are
apparently determined to keep the re-
forms within the very smallest posi-
BILE limits
Again and again they bring up the
point that they have vast quantity of
goods on hand which they cannot sell
if the provisions of the Pure Food bill
are enforced, and they ask. as if it
were an unanswerable question.
who is going to stand the loss on
these goods?" The assumption that
the possibility of this loss should be
carefully considered and prevented is
amusing or impudent, according to
the point of view. There is no
chance,of loss on goods the present la
bells of which tell the truth about
them-on goods that are neither adul-
terated or misnamed. When either
of these base and cowardly crimes
has been committed the man to stand
the loss is obviously the man who
committed it, and he deserves no
sympathy, not matter how great it
may be.
The pretense that people really
want to have their foods colored and
sophisticated is simply false: the
coloring and sophisticating are and
always have been secret. 1t is true
that in many cases most people have
been so long deceived that they no
longer know the natural appearance
and taste of the food they think they
are buying, and would be inclined to
reject it, if it were offered to them in
the pure form, but this, instead of be-
ing an argument for the maintenance
of the existing conditions, is but a
stronger arraignment of the men who
have brought them about.
In almost every instance the pur-
pose of food sophistication is to sell
one thing for the price that the buyer
is willing to pay for another and bet
ter thing. AS Senator Beveridge
said, the buyer has right to know
what he is getting. Nobody who
