Burned This Morning.

1890 o'clock destroyed the Garfield
Supply Company's barn, situated
across the road from the company's

five to eight hundred dollars. The
fire made great blaze that was seen
at long distance. The origin of the
blaze is uncertain.

TO REPUBLICANS:

We are anxious to have every
Republican in close touch, and work
ing in harmony with the Republican
National Congressional Committee in
favor of the election of Republican
Congress.
The Congressional campaign must
be based on the administrative and
legislative record of the party, and,
that being SO, Theodore Roosevelt S
personality must be central figure
and his achievements a central
thought in the campaign.
We desire to maintain the work of
this campaign with popular subscrip-
fions of One Dollar each from Repub-
licans. To each subscriber we will
send the Republican National Cam
paign Text Book and all documents
issued by the Committee.
Help US achieve a great victory.

The Report of a Young Hoo

Zone.
CONDITIONS ARE GOOD
WILLIAM r. KIMBERLY OF AN
DERSON, VERY ENTHUSIASTIC
OVER THE TROPICAL CoUN.
TRY-TO TAKE A BRIDE.

Anderson, Ind, September s.
(Spl) after his annual visit with
friends in this city, ending this time,
in his marriage, to take place tomor-
row, William r. Kimberly, of this city,
will leave tomorrow to resume work
as an expert mechanic in the shops
of the Panama Canal Commission.
Mr.. Kimberly has been working for
the Government in the canal zone for
three years, and is prosperous and
healthy. He will take back with him
as his bride Miss Delilah McGriff,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John G.
McGriff
I'm the empire district of the ca
nal zone, where | am stationed" Mr..
Kimberly said, 1.-The conditions for liv-
ing with the exception of heat, are
no worse than they are in the United
States at this time. Money can be
made by steady workmen. From
January to August, when l got my va
cation, received $1,000 for my work.
The machinists, boiler tenders and
several other men of trades get IS
cents an hour.
1.-The best paid men get $210 a
month. They are the steam shovel
engineers, while the cranesmen of the
shovel crew get s1S5 month. En-
gineers of the locomotive drawing
railway trains get $3.50 month and
conductors of trains $40. They can
save more than half of their salaries
and live on the best that the Govern
ment provides for it's employees in the
canal zone. l have saved about IS
per cent of my wages, and had all
that l desired to eat and good living
quarters"
Women Have Good Health.
As to the conditions for women or
families in the canal zone, Mr.. Kim
berly said: LAS rule, \e women
and children are in better health than
the men. They are not as much ex-
posed to the sun, and, of course, that
has something to do with it. Women
take better care of themselves than
men; they do not drink any of the
intoxicating liquors and they take the
and sleep that is nee ded.
I'm the empire district, there is a
little colony from Indiana. We are
well acquainted and get along nicely
They are from Elkhart, Muncie,
Charlottesville, Indianapolis and Wa
bash. We get papers from home and
exchange them The Indianapolis
News is about nine days old when it
reaches us, and we pass it around
and around until the paper is nearly
worn out You can see Indiana pa
pers in nearly all the American col
onies.'

County Legislatures to Alter
the Present Obnoxious
System.
NO MORE ROAD WORKING
Believed that Cash Basis Would be
the Proper Relief-Farmers and
Citizens of Small Towns Interest
ed.

All the farmers over Wayne county
and Richmond people owing property
in the townships are interested in the
road tax question at this time, as the
supervisors are preparing he lists of
assessments that are to be worked
out The old plan of working out
taxes is not according to the ideas
of one trustee las he believes that the
road tax should be paid directly into
the treasury and paid out again in
cash to the workmen employed in i'm
proving the county's thoroughfares.
In citing an instance of how the
county and township could thus save
money, the trustee said: Take the
case of the railroads. Instead of
working out their road tax a railroad
company having tax of 500 will
contract for some farmer to do the
work for SIS. This is done every
year. If the railroad companies can
get 500 worth of work done for SIS
so can the township.
The trustee is in favor of legisla-
ton of placing the road work in the
hands of trustees, to give him the
right to appoint the supervisors who
are interested in the work and who
would attend strictly to business. BY
this method frequent attention
would be given the roads. Defects,
he says, would be remedied before
they become serious and at a much
less cost than when they remain I'M
attended for weeks and months.
1t is expected that the legislative
committee of the Indiana association
of trustees, before the next session of
the state legislature is called, will
have under way movement to change
some of the laws regarding the care
of township and county roads.

ences have of late been so continu-
ously treated to appeals to passion,
to demagogic harangues spfced with
much sensational stuff and thickly
peppered with denunciations of Gull
pable wealth, greedy Trusts, and GER
morant corporations that it is graft
flying and of good augury to hear of
an assembly of voters capable of lis
tening to a speech such as the ora
tors of former times were accustonl-
ed to deliver.
Secretary Taft reviewed and sum-
med up the work of the Republican
Administration ably and 1ucidly. Ev-
cry voter of Mr.. Littlefield's district
who heard or has read the speech
knows the motives and achievements
of Mr.. Roosevelt's Administration
politics. We admire the courage and
the sincerity of the Secretary of War
for having declared that Mr.. Roose-
welt is the issue in this Congressional
campaign. That suggestion was made,
he says, as ground for criticising
the Republican Party, but he boldly
declares that the Republicans do
propose to make Mr.. Roosevelt the
issue in this campaign because he is
the issue, not in what he has said,
but in what he has done and what
the party has upheld him in doing"
Nobody can misunderstood that
But from making Mr.. Roosevelt the
issue it is but a step, and an almost
inevitable one, to making him the can
didate two years hence. 1t is diff
cult to see how the Republicans can
come into possession of any other is
sues than those Mr.. Roosevelt has
made and will make. If he continues
to be the issue during the next two
years, it is hard to see what will pre-
vent his being made the candidate
