INDIANA TRUSTEES
WANT INCREASE
Think the Salary of Two DOL
lars Per Day Is Too
Small.
NOW IN STATE MEETING.
CHARLES POTTER AND /. S. BOW
MAN, TWO WAYNE COUNTY
TRUSTEES, ARE ACTIVE IN THE
SESSIONS.

The Indiana township trustees who
are attending their seventeenth ar
nual meeting in indianapolis have
come with the conviction burning
deep in them that their services are
worth more than s. per diem to their
townships.
Probably the principal fruits of the
trustees meeting this year will be a
lobby that in the next legislature will
again urge an increase of their pay
from 81 to 81 a day, and will also
again urge change in the laws that
will permit rejection ri township trus-
tees.
Both Of these bills were pushed by
their lobby before the legislature last
year and were bOwled ont. The trus.
tees will also probably make another
effort for the enactment of the Wood
bill, legalizing the acts of township
trustees when approved by advisory
boards and when made in good faith
and in the absence of evidences of
fraud or collision.
Some Think Bill Became Law.
In delivering the presidents annual
address. President c. G.. Miller an
nOunced that some legal authorities
have advanced the opinion that the
bill passed by the legislature and pre-
scented to Governor Hanly is a law,
though it seems TO have been lost in
the closing days of the session and
does not appear in the printed statu,
ties. II is contended that Governor
Hanly did not sign the bill and that it
became a law without his signature.
This contention has been raised in q
suit in Montgomery county, WHERE
trustee Is now being prosecuted.
Pre- sident Miller favors the trustees
raising a fund to investigate this mat
ter thoroughly, and, If necessary, carry
it 70 the supreme court Either this
will be done or the bill will again be
brought by the trustees lobby before
the Legislature. In his speech Presi-
dent Miller called attention to the fact
that one of the men who led the fight
against this bill has since been con-
victed Of embezzlement.

While Governor Haskell, of Ok
lahoma, is in the lime light, it is
interesting to know that he is
not only governor, but a member
of the Oklahoma Text Book Com
mission, and that one of the text
books adopted by the Commission
contains the interesting infor-
nation that when the future his
torian writes the history of Ok
lahoma, he will pay tribute to
Governor Haskell who was elect
ed as a reward for his able coun-
sci and leadership in behalf of
the people.

BRYAN COULD HARM,
Danger of Placing Nebraskan In
White House.
EVEN WITH SENATE OPPOSED.

Administration and enforcement Oi
Laws Would Be In His Hands-HhG
Treasury Would Be Under His
Thwmb-NationaI Banks Would Be
at His Mercy.
Nobody with brafA enough to get in
out Of blizzard can have patience
with the argument so complacently put
forth by some of the Bryanites who
want to humbug others into believing
what they don't believe themselves
that Bryan can do no harm should he
be elected. The usual way Of putting
1t is that there will be Republican
senate and probably a Republican
house and that Bryan's hands will be
tied even If his tongue continues to
wag-certalnly poor reason for elect
ing president even were 1t true
But 1t Is not true. A grammar school
boy who has studied the constitution
Of the United States knows that. OF
course Bryan as president in face of a
sane congress could not pass laws, But
the whole administration Of national
laws, including their enforcement.
which is Mt least as important as pass
ing them, would be in his hands. He
would have the treasury under his
thumb: the national banks would be
at the mercy Of comptroller of the
currency appointed by him: the foreign
policy Of the government would be di.
rected by him, and ambassadors, min
listers and cOnSuls would he named by
him. The army and navy would be un.
der his command. Collectors, poStmas-
ters and other officials of the civil serv.
Ice would be nominated by him. While
he could not establish "a tariff for rev.
enue only" he could make things much
smoother and easier for the class that
come back from European trips loaded
with all sorts Of luxuries purchased
abroad to the detriment of American
labor.

might offend him by not going into his
compulsory guarantee scheme, just as
his campaign treasurer, Governor Has
kell, smashed the International Bank
of Coalgate, Okla. to make demon
stration of the guarantee law for the
Democratic Denver convention.
Oh, yes, Bryan could do harm-so
much harm that it might take the coun.
try many long years to recover from
the damage done by four years Of
Bryan In the White House.
But Bryan will do no harm because
b will not have the opportunity. be-
cause the American people are going To-

Taft's election will be an assurance
that the voters of the United States are

spectacle to see persons out to-
day in winter wraps, overcoats
and heavy gloves to ward off the
inclemency of the weather. l
doubt not there was a good deal
more comfort with them than
without them.
At four o'clock, or a little be-
fore, this morning, our sleep was
disturbed with the pattering of
a gentle rain upon the roofs and
windows of our houses. This was
the most welcome news we have
heard for some time. A gentle
rain continued until near noon,
soaking the ground pretty well
and putting it in good condition
for sowing wheat. This was the
only rain we have had since Aug
ust IL. This was surely a long
dry spell and most cisterns and
many wells became dry. Every
body is thankful for the relief
afforded.
P. B. Moul and family were
guests of Alex. Wagaman's fam.
lily yesterday.
The festival of Laura Myers
Sunday school class last Satur-
day evening was quite success
full. 1t was literally patronized.
1t is presumable that wv. J.
b. was not aware that Teddy"
was loaded, otherwise he would
have exercised a prudent care in
challenging him to combat. The
older a person gets the more he
finds out.
The time to determine by elec-
tion whether our county shall be
wet or dry is fixed for the six
teenth of next month. This is
not far off and in the interim be-
tween now and then the hosts of
both sides will be very busy in
marshalling tn cir supporters.
The contention of the drys will
be for home and the saving of
the people, especially the young,
life of our people, from the ruin
wrought by the liquor traffic.
On the other hand, it will be for
the saloon and all the ruin it is
capable of doing. Reader, which
will you choose? Has life at its
best not heart aches enough with
out those brought into being by
the saloon? Will we, when the
plain issue is presented, vote to]
keep this prolific source of evil
fastened upon us? Would it not
be wisdom to choose the better
part and make right the rule of
life? None know the suffering
and heart aches endured on ac-
count Of this demon intemper-
ance so we'll as the families afflic-
ted by it, and that there should
be any right-minded person to
support the saloon is truly amaz-
ng. 1t has not a single redeem
ing quality, and many, very ma
ny, that are really vile, It has i
nothing to commend it, not even
comliness. It is ghastly In It's
appearance, no matter from what
angle it may be viewed. There
seems to be a gaudiness, for want
Of a better name to describe it,
that captures the better judg-
ment of some of our good people.

1t is gradually becoming manifest
that Bryan's advance declination of a
second term is the biggest Jolly of
the campaign, thus far. II he ever
attempts such thing again Brother
Charles will simply have to slap
Brother William on the wrist. VIII
liam knows that If the first term
would be successful history and party
policy would compel him to try for a
second. He knows also that If the first
term would be unsuccessful those
same influence would preclude any at
tempt for second. So in the former
event his conscientious scruples"
would undoubtedly be satisfactorily
overcome by exigencies beyond his
preconceived power Of control. See?

Whatever hope the Democrats may
have had of winning any considerable
number of the colored voters owing
to the Brownsville Incident, has been
dissipated by the action Of the West
Virginia Democratic state convention,
which adopted resolutions disfranchis-
ing the colored man and otherwise
placing obstacles in his way. The
Democrats can always be depended
upon to do the wrong thing at the
right time-Middleton lOD Daily

Let me ask, are any of us so era
ven as to barter the good of the
country and convert human be-
ings into demons for few pal
try dollars? Let some one rise
and answer. Will a father sac
rifce an idolized boy to this sa.
loon demon for a few paltry dol
lars? l trow not. Who knows
but some fathers vote will do
this very thing? Consider well.
But is it true that in voting for
the saloon we get $1,000, and
thereby avoid $1,000 taxation?
Let this matter be we'll consid-
cred. If a saloonist were to en-
ter any community and pay
$1,000 for the privilege to run his
business, and stop when he got
it and give it Ito the public and
quit business he might have some
claim to pose as a benefactor, but
this is not so done. He does not
stop at this accomplishment, but
proceeds to get another $1,000 to
put into his pocket, and were it
not for that part he would cease
business and dub the venture as
disreputable. Who are the peO-
pie from whom the money is ta-
ken to make the $1,000 tax said to
come to the public, and the sur
plus above to fill the pockets of
the saloonist? The answer must
be the persons least able to pay
it, and because of the loss of that
money are unable to supply them
selves and families with the nee
essaries of life, and in some ca
ses rendered wholly unable to
keep themselves; and in such ca
ses who keeps them? Not only
is such keeping made necessary,
but the criminality and insanity
caused by the saloon must be
looked after and cared for by the
public; and in a short time the
$1,000 received is consumed and
is not enough to pay for these
expenses but other funds than
the $1,000 will have to be used.
Let these persons who say that
in case the drys prevail that tax
es viii be increased to make good
the loss Of $1,000, show that
when the $1,000 act passed
tax levies were reduced. The
advocates Of this theory have not
shown that for the reason that
they can not, and for the addi-
tional reason that such reduction
of taxes did not follow, but on
the contrary have increased
where saloons were the most
plentiful. On the other hand,
where the drys prevailed taxes
have come down, the levies have
been lowered,
