In some manner her skirts became
ignited and in an instant the flames
rose above her head, famed to fury
by the wind
Harvey Eytcheson and Frank
Daugherty were in Kline Shores
back yard doing some work. Hear
ing her heart-rending screams they
looked UP and beheld the appalling
sight. Immediately they leaped the
fence and went to her assistance. Mr..
c. Z. Putnam, who keeps his team
in all adjoining barn. also heard the
cry, and snatching a horse-blanke
rushed to the scene. She was cover
ed by the bIanket By that time Ear
nest Ginger and others had arrived
and by their united efforts the flames
were extinguished.
In her agony Mrs. Murphy ran east

than a hundred years to reach this
stage of military efficiency and large
part OF the time OUR 5o-called State
militia was a subject for burlesque
and a laughing stock for military men
The law provides for annual en-
campments, field maneuvers, target
practice, etc, at national expense. The
annual duty of the organized militia
of each State is prescribed by law
and regular army officers may be de-
tailed to States for duty with the mil
tia. The organized militia of any
State or of all the States is subject
to be called into the service of the
United States whenever the President
may deem it necessary. the same as
the regular army. The present law
has been in force only five years, but
it has already resulted in giving the
country by far the best militia force
it has ever had-the best organized,
best drilled, best equipped and most
soldierly in every respect.
The annual encampment of rhe reg
ular army and the militia held under
the present law are really schools Of
military training in which both regu-
lars and militia are put through all
the PAGES of active service. OF course.
the militia are the greatest gamers
from this, but the new recruits in the
regular army are also gamers.

RELIGIOUS BICOT
WAS in INWOOD
SEEKS TO INTRUDE INTO LO-
CAL POLITICS BY ATTACK
ING RELIGION OF CAM
DIDATES-FAKIR
HAS A BAD
RECORD.

A religious bigot, styling himself
Evangelist F. F. DeLong. is the lat,
est imposition on the residents of the
village of Inwood. This fakir opened
a series of lectures on the subject,
Shall the Church of Rome and her
Papal Schools, or Professionalism and
the Public Schools Rule our Country"
His object is of course simply and
purely to make money. The residents
of Inwood were charged 10 cents
apiece to- enter the hall which he has
rented. and listen to the abuse which
that uneducated falOir pours upon an
institution whose standing in the
country is unquestioned. His
lectures" opened Tuesday night and
continued until Friday He attacked
.ile Democratic candidate for town
ship trustee, John Richard, because
of his religion, which is Roman
Catholic. OF course Republicans
understand that such false, and bigot-
ed attacks in every case do harm to
the cause they are intended to aid.
Normal thinking people easily see
that the self-styled evangelist, is only
in their community to make money.
To do this to advantage, some sort of
show must be given.
DeLong has been heard of often in
this vicinity. He always visits towns
about the SIZE of Inwood. thinlofng
himself more immune than IN larger
places About two months ago, he
appeared at Bunker Hill, Ind. Here
he started HIS series of lectures. On
the second night, all of the men,
women and children OF the village en-
tered the church where the lectures
were being given. and when DeLong
opened up, he was greeted with
shower OF eggs. old cabbage aurriips
etc. This same greeting was awarded
HIM at Macy Ind. and other places,
and rightly shows the sentiment OF
the farming community upon which
he sought to impose himself
Republicans of Inwood will resent
the action of this faSir for the reac-
tionary effect wiich his attacks will
have upon their candidate for trus-
tee. Democrats and Republicans OF
the village should Join hands in ex-
pelling 5nch iinposters, who seek to
butt into" their politics.
The days of religious bigotry are
over, and the religious bigot is a gone
and gladly forgotten number.
With. possibly one or two excep-
tions. the campaign in Marshall coun-
ty SO far has been clean. OF course
such a mud-slinging faltr, approach
