we question whether the commit

In the years mentioned there was
probably more Of this sort Of IN

a presidential campaign. But
conditions in this regard have I'M
dergone a mighty change. The
business world, the m%oneyed men,

country "a almost a unit against
Bryan in 1896, but now, while not
claiming they r all against Taft,
a very large amount of this in
fuence is decidedly on the Bryan
side. Business men do not regard
Mr.. Bryan as the bugbear they
deemed him. They rec
ognize that he is more %conserva-
tive, his point of view has broad
ened and as a class they are not
afraid of him. People generally
are becoming thoroughly oonv1ac-
ed that no legitimate business en-
terprise has anything to fear from

BIG LOT SALE.
Henderson Place. To Occur Oct. 1923.

One of the most important deals
in real estate occurred last week
when Mr.. John S. Henderson de-
cided to place on sale $50 Of the
most beautiful building lots III
the city.
Henderson Place is located z
blocks East Of the Court House,
the car line to Spencer passes with
in two squares of the property.
No Sub-dlv sion ever offered for
sale has more to recommend 1T to
the buying public. Mr.. Hender-
son has adopted a novel plan ID
pricing the pr, perty. For exam
pie a lot worth $780, 90 sells for
$1.OO down and 800 per week. so
with a $3.50 90 lot, which would
require 81 so down and $3.50 per
week. All taxes and interest will
he paid until June 1, 1910
Deeds are deposited with Peo-
ple's National Bank, where all
weekly payments will be made.
In case of sickness no payments
will be required for a period of II
weeks, and should q person die be-
fore making full payment. Mr..
Henderson will cause the bank tc
pass the deed to the buyers es-
tate free of cost. This is certain
ly a most liberal plan, but to cap
the climax one can build at any
time after making the initial pay
ment. Think of being able to put
up a house while you only pay
$1.OO or $3.50 per week for The
lot your house is built on! We
understand the firm engaged tc
handle the proposition are among
the best in the United States, and
Mr.. Henderson has. taken plenty
of time to consider all details and
as a result of the many new fea'
lures we predict the sale will draw
big crowds, coming as 1t does, the
same date as our FAIR, Oct. 2O-23,
You will be surprised should you
drive out Sunday or some evening
to see the improvements being
made. Steele, Fulton, lafayette
and Church streets all lead past

A Philadelphia paper speaks of

A Philadelphia paper speaks of
a time in our history when GRIM
inals were accorded but little sym.
pathy. The article draws a con-
trast between those and the pres
ent times and calls attention to
the fact that the criminal of today
is not considered SO much an OBJ
ject for punishment as reclama-
ton. That this change has taken
place is no doubt commendable,
for the criminal is still a human
being and should be treated as
one. But it must strike even a
casual observer that in our day
and time a lot of gush and mand-
lin sentiment is bestowed upon
the criminal which operates to
the injury of society.
