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 a Republican
Congress.
The Congressional campaign must
be based on the administrative and
legislative record of the party, and,
that being 50, Theodore Roosevelt's
personality must be central figure
and his achievements z central
thought in the campaign.
We desire to maintain the work of
this campaign with popular subscrip-
tons 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 as achieve a great victory.

can who had voted for one of these
Democrats for congress because OF
good fellowship or for any other
cause, would find that he had fooled
himself in supposing he could vote
for a Democrat without voting for
Democratic policies as they are to be
worked out in congress.
A Republican may not like the Re-
publican candidate for congress, but
he is not voting for the man he per-
sonally likes as much as he is voting
for the individual who is in congress
will uphold the president and main
tain Republican policies. Personality
has little to do with the vote as to
who shall be elected to congress. Po-
licies have everything to do with this
question. The Republican who wants
to help hold up the presidents hands
can do that only by voting for the
Republican candidate for congress-
To oppose that candidate is to oppose
Republican policies and to oppose

1t should be matter of pride to all
citizens of Richmond that it's public
school system received CHI high
praise from the Northern Indiana
Superintendent Club. The entire
system of public education aims to
educate the children of the nation so
that they may become broad and en-
lightened citizens of the republic; so
that they may learn to think and act
for themselves with the best judgment
only to be obtained by careful train
ing; and SO that they may be sur
rounded by the fellowship of compan-
ions gathered together from different
neighborhoods, fact which aids
them when growing to more mature
age in understanding the true spirit
of democracy prevailing in our great
republic. Therefore it is with par
ticular pride that we hear our own
public school praises, for it means
that the Richmond child stands an
excellent chance of becoming the best
kind of citizen. And furthermore,
the tax payer can feel pretty certain
he is getting his moneys worth for
that part of his money which goes to
support our school system.

VOTING FOR A PRINCIPLE.

The Democratic candidate for con-
gress who appeals to Republicans for
votes, with the excuse that he can
and will support President Roose>
velt's policies, is misleading the peo-
pie, says the Anderson Herald and
continuing it says: The national
house of representatives is not a
mere aggregation of men who do
what they please, as individuals from
day to day. 1t is a battle line just
as much as that between two oppos-
tives of the people in congress, all
controlled by party policies. The
Democratic party made its policies
two years ago. when it opposed ev-
erything for which President Roose-
welt stood. It opposed Mr.. Roose-
yelt's election, not on personal
grounds, for he has many Democrats
who are personal friends and admir-
ers. but because he stood for Repub-
lican policies that are repugnant to
the Democrats.
President Roosevelt still stands for
the policies which were written into
his platform two years ago, and Re
publicans everywhere support him
more because he is Republican Than
because he is a good and brave man.
The president has not asked any man
to support him unless he believes in
the same policies he represents. He
will not ask Democrats in congress
TO support his Republican policies.
He asks no man to be untrue to his
political convictions.
The Democratic candidate who
might be elected to congress by Re-
publican votes would not and could
not be true to those who elected him.
He would be compelled to declare
himself, the very first day of session,
by going into the Democratic caucus
to oppose all Republican policies and
all Republican members. He would
vote to elect John Sharp Williams,
of Mississippi, and if he were sue
cessful Mr.. Williams would organize
the committees by making Democra-
tic chairmen of all the committees
and give them a majority on each
and every committee, so that all leg
islation reported to the house would
be in harmony with Democratic pol.
icies.
That is what Mr.. Williams would
do, and that is what the country
would expect him to do. He would
use all of his power TO overturn Re
publican policies and establish in
their place Democratic policies.
There could be no criticism of Mr..
Williams, and no reasonable COM
plant against any Democrat aiding
I'm in that effort. But the Republic

The recommendation that the next
General Assembly provide for the es-
tablishment of State Sanitarium for
the treatment of early tuberculosis
is step in the right direction. The
spread Of the great white plague
should be checked as soon as possible.
Furthermore the tuberculosis lectures
which have recently been held in sew
eral cities of the state, Richmond
among them. is another step which
should be encouraged. The people
should be taught the right manner of

sible the danger of contracting this

PURE FOOD LAW
BEARING FRUIT
Much of Alleged AduIteration
Has Been Done Away With
In Short Time.
RESULT o FTHE ANALYSES
RICHMOND DEALERS NOT HAND.
LING MANY OF THE BRANDS OF
FOODS THAT CAME UNDER THE
LAWS BAN AT THIS TIME.

According to State Chemist Bar
nard, the food product dealers in
Richmond as well as in other towns
of the State are not handling many ar
ticles which have not been much i'm
proved in quality during the pbst
year.
The greatest improvement is shown
in the spices. Last year the analyses
showed that 43.5 per cent. of the spi-
ces were adulterated. This years re-
suits show that only "a per cent, are
adulterated.
Vanilla and Lemon.
Vanilla and lemon extracts show
improvement also. The per cent, of
the adulteration of vanilla has de-
creased from 91.5 last year to 27.2 this
year. The per cent, of adulteration in
the lemon extract this year is 63 as
against 1914 last year.
Last year 91.7 per cent, of the so
called cider vinegar was adulterated;
this year only 63.3 per cent, is adulter-
ated. Still majority, but reduced
one," commented Mr.. Barnard.
Olive oil is about twice as good as
it was. The per cent, of adulteration
last year was 3S.1, and this year ISL.
With respect to lard the percent of
adulteration was decreased from 58.3
to 40.
Explaining these changes in more
detail, Mr.. Barnard said one reason
the extracts were improved was that
the artificial is labeled now, and not
analysed to find it's purity. Then,
too, the amount of genuine extract is
largely increased" said Mr.. Barnard,
much to the detriment of the tonka
bean and the artificial vanallin.'
I'VE are having the hardest time
with the vinegars," continued the
chemist. "For the most part, it is
manufactured outside the State and
few large manufacturers make most
OF it. These firms make business of
going into a State where the law is
weak or poorly enforced, and staying
there until literally driven out. A
st. Louis firm is especially guilty of
this practice.
Vinegar Firms Leave State.
'Within the last two months we
have been getting results in our vine
gar crusade, however. Some of these
firms have withdrawn from the State
quite recently-one firm took out
twenty-seven barrels few weeks
ago.
Most of the bad olive oil of last
year was that sold by the druggists in
bulk. The druggists usually bought it
from the wholesalers as the pure stuff,
but the druggists were deceived AS
the result of the published analysis,
however, the wholesalers have braced
up, and they are supplying the pure
oil.
1.-The change in the spices has been
continued Mr.. Barnard.
"A year ago the wholesalers them
selves tdmitted that a large part of
their spices were adulterated, but
they said that the competition forced
them to sell poor stuff. They well
coined a chance to do better and, so
far as we know now, every wholesaler
and spice grinder in the State is
spending out the pure spices, instead
of sawdust, ground cocoanut shells
and olive stones. And one of the
told me recently that his
spice business, during the last year,
was the most profitable he ever had"

OYSTERS As CHRISTMAS GIFTS.
Sent From Here TO Friends Across the water
in Europe.

III Europe.
Among the many gifts which at this sea-
son find their way in one or the other di-
rection across the Atlantic there always go,
from this side, as Christmas presents to
friends in Europe more or less oysters.
Merchants come in here to dealers with
whom they are acquainted and order a lot
OF the fine American oysters to be sent to
friends or business associates abroad; or
the representative here of some foreign
concern may order a barrel OF oysters to
be sent to his board of directors at the
home establishment; and in like manner
private persons send gifts OF oysters to
personal friends abroad.
The oysters thus sent are shipped in bar
rels or in half barrels, in which they are
packed with care. They are laid in one
after another, separately. each with the
deep shell down. and it Is sought 10 keep
the packages right side up, so that the oys-
tiers may arrive in perfect condition.
These Christmas packages are sent by
various express lines Of steamers and are
shipped to Great Britain and to various
parts Of the Continent. The order once
given, the dealer here attends to all the
rest.
He pays the freight across, and the i'm
port duties on the other side where they
are ~unloaded, and he prepays the freight
or express charges from hat place to the
interior point OF final destination. SO that
the oysters bought here in New York are
put down at the door OF the person for
whom they are intended, in London or in
Manchester, or in Leipzig or Berlin, free
OF all charges, just as a Christmas gift
bought in a New York shop would he de-

given here in town.
