President Palma, OF Cuba, has de-
cided on an aggressive campaign.
The. opposition long since adopted
the same policy. Cuba leaders have
abandoned the ancient Anglo-Saxon
method of election and appeal to the
country according to the custom of
their Latin-American sister repub-
lies. An aggressive campaign In
South American contemplation is
civil war. Perhaps, It is wise. II they
believe in that kind of election the
more of them killed. the better. The
hand of Providence may be welding
the machete in Cuba. Not even the
most selfish patriots in this country
can now criticize our discretion in
giving Cuba her independence. We
wouldn't object TO owning Cuba, but
We do not care to father a Cuban
election.

SOUTHERN PROBLEM.

The south has come abruptly
against the labor question. Ev-
cry day the negro becomes less
satisfactory less reliable and
more hazardous as a dependa-
BILE factor in the Industrial stu
alton. No man carrying on a
large enterprise. whether 1t be
manufacturing, mining, agricul-
tural or construction work,
knows how many of his help
will turn up on any given day,
and it is getting to be frequent
ly the case that they 40 not
work more than half the week.
Men with large funds invested
in costly machinery, or who
have made bond TO perform a
given work within a given time
are looking around FOR means
to escape from the predicament.
The way out is through the
industrious immigrant from Eu-
rope or the northwest. The
problem is to got them here. We
need them not only for all man
ner of construction work and as
agricultural laborers but in de-
veloping and building up our
country.
When a man has the nerve to
leave his native land and travel
across the ocean to a foreign
shore, he has ambition and he
has energy, and as general
rule, he develops into good
citizen, law abiding. thrifty ana
industrious. For too many years
the south has turned up its nose
at the immigrant, but we have
learned our mistakes. our eyes
have been opened and the enter

south are ready to do what they

port of entry, and Galveston is
one already. J. T. Harahan OF

An Assistant OF Nature.

One of the most interesting things
of this day of interesting things is
the great success being achieved by
osteopathy.
There is hardly day that some
cure which is deserving of attracting
much attention, Is not made by this
new science. and the more II is stud
led, and the better 1t is known, the
easier 1t is to see why II IS SO.
Osteopathy merely aids nature to
cure.
1t is a system of healing built up
on demonstrable facts.
II discovers the cause of diesase.
and treats It by scientific manipula-
tons In order to correct disorders
and bring about natural condition.

PUBLISHERS ALONE PROFIT
Claims That Instead of Frequent
Book Changes There Should be
-
Some Firing of Teachers.

Through the pages of Dignam's s
magazine, Editor j. B. Dignam is
waging relentless battle against
the School Book trust and the meth
DDS of frequenting changing books,
which is so often practiced by school
boards and trustees.
In the February issue Of his mag
azine, Mr.. Dignam publishes letters
from people all over the state who
have written to him commencing his
action in what is termed "down-
right steal.' Mr. Dignam has been
on this crusade against the publish
ers of school books for three months
and wide spread attention has been
given to his efforts to bring about
change.
In speaking of his work along this
line, Mr.. Digliam said that he is not
making an attempt to have laws
pissed governing the changes in
school books but that he took the af-
fair up because people have become
tired of the incessant changes which
are taking place in school books.
He describes the system used by
the publishers in their efforts to have
the kind OF books changed as fol-
lows: An agent comes to teacher
and after various visits, succeeds in
convincing him that the pupils would
learn better if his particular kind
of books were used, especially if the
pupils are not learning much on ac-
count Of the teachers own ignorance
of the correct methods of instruction.
The teachers Immediately try to per-
suade the principal or head master
that change in books is beneficial.
The head master takes the matter be-
fore the trustees and this body Of
men, too often more fit for farming
than teaching, feels that the best
should be had for their community,
and instead Of changing the teachers,
new school books are bought at an
outlay of several thousands of dol
lars. The publisher is the only gamer.
Mr.. Dignam says that he has been
asked to deliver lectures on the sub
ject, but he is too busy at present on
his magazine. His agitation Of the
school book question has assumed
large proportions and it is all he can
attend to to personally answer the
many letters he has received from
people all over the state, asking what
can be done to change the present
system. He has arranged plan
whereby the people of a community
sign petition to present to the new
members of the school board, asking
them when in Office mot to vote for
change in the books. This system,
he thinks, is the only way the change
can be brought about short Of legisla-
ton.

KICKED, STONED AND SHOT
BY Saloon Keeper Irwin So Plaintiff
Alleges Civil Action Also
Pending.

The case of Edward M. Semans
versus Dock F. Irwin for $4,000 dam
ages will be tried in the Wayne Cir
cult court, being brought here on a
change of venue from the Randolph
circuit court where the case was fled
last June.
Semans is a resident of Jay
County and the venue to the Wayne
circuit court was made on the plea
of the defendant who is saloon
keeper in Winchester, that the peo-
pie of Randolph County were preju-
diced against him. Nichols, Goodrich
e Bales of Winchester are attorneys
for Seamans and Engle, Caldwell &
Parry of Winchester are attorneys
for the defendant.
In the complaint Semans alleges
that on the evening of May %, 1905,
he was assaulted by Irwin In the rear
of the latter's saloon and that he
was kicked in the side, beaten with
stones ON the face and body and shot
in the leg and ankle with revolver.
Irwin has filed demurrer to the
complaint claiming that the state
ment of facts was not sufficient to
constitute cause for action. The de-
fendant further states that Semans
first assaulted him with his fists and
revolver and that he acted as he
did in self defense.
Semans, besides bringing civil ac-
tin against Irwin in the Randolph
circuit court, has brought criminal
action against him in the Jay circuit
court, which case is now pending.
Irwin was examined before a notary
public in Winchester last December
but refused to answer any questions
on the grounds that it would be LA
BILE to incriminate him in the case
pending in the Jay Circuit court.

FOR UNFORTUNATE WOMEN
Later Will Ask Wayne County Com
missioners For Support-Meet-
ing With Much Success.

An attempt is being made by Mrs.
G. Gray, District Superintendent of
the Indiana Door Of Hope, a home
for girls and women, in Indianapolis,
to interest people of this county in
the home and to enlist their services
and aid in the bettering of the insti-
tuition.
Mrs. Gray has been here for a
week and has presented her plan to
several Of the prominent residents of
the city. The home, which is for the
purpose of helping fallen and unfor-
tunate women and map out for them
lives of purity and usefulness, is now
being supported by II of the 90
counties Of the state. Recently the
home was incorporated and now an
effort is being made to interest ev-
cry county in the state and have the
institution supported by all the
counties, working together.
Mrs. Gray later intends to present
thecase to the County Commissioners
asking them to donate a certan
amount for the maintenance Of the
Home. The reason she is not now
petitioning the Commissioners is
that other charitable work is before
htem which she does not wish to in
terfere with. As soon as this has
been attended to, she will present her
case. Each county is being asked for
a yearly contribution of $40O, or a
per diem of % cents for each per-
son at the home, from that particular
county.
