are some OF natures pretty marvels.
The Cecropia adenopus is q remarka-

at the ends of the branches.
A few active ants run continually

The defenders rarely leave their re-

signs are worthless in quiet cam
paign.
And yet there is a very splendid
spectacle in a presidential election.
Every four years the people come to
a realization of the things which have
been done in the last administration
and they look ahead to the fate OF the
country for the next period. 1t was
the optimism of the founders of our
United States which led to this sys-
tenn and that optimism is still our
heritage.
A famous English essayist said
that there are only two romantic
things in life-that of getting married
and posting a letter. He declared that
these were romantic because they were
irreyocable-he might have added that
the casting of a ballot holds in it
more romance than either, for here
mans irrevocable vote is cast and
by that action the man stops Tor a
moment to be a part of the great
game of the nations-he is making
history.
There is something about this very
aspect of an election which makes 1t
SO very terrible, which gives it the ex.
element of a far greater gambling in,
terest than a horse race.
Watch, gentlemen, the wheel is
spinning-where will It stop?'
but the game is never over until
the game is played"

Won PEIN BLOCKS MOVE.

The passage of an ordinance author
izing loan of $4,000 by bond issue
was held up from passage last evening
by the action of Councilman Won Pein,
who objected to the passage of an ap-

City Controller Parry advised coun-
ell to take immediate action on the
ordinance. He said that it was not
absolutely necessary to pass it at once.
but that bond dealers in Indiana had
informed him that the best market
for bonds would be found early in De-

would have to be passed without delay

$4,000 bond issue in preference to
raising the tax rate.

ECZEMA 80 YEARS;
SIMPLE OIL CURES
Wintersreen Compound Stopped Itch
AZ onee-Disease Soon Disappeared

After dosing the stomach for years
and trying all kinds of alleged cures
for eczema, Mr. NJ. #. Firmiu. of
Wichita, Kansas, reports a perfect
cure. He simply washed the skin
with an oil Of wintergreen compound,
mixed with thymol, glycerine, etc.
Mr.. NJ. I. Firmin, for the last 90
years in the employ of the C. S. Dan
iels Furniture Co., of Wichita, Kans.,
in the presence of Mr. Higginson of
the Higginson Drug Co. made the fol-
lowing statement:
Eczema first appeared on my body
when l was a child years of age. For
over thirty years l scratched and
scratched and doctored. About the
only relief I got was from scratching.
The itching was SO intense it simply
drove me wild.
About one year ago, the disease
covered my entire body from my scalp
to my toes. My doctor and my
friends all gave me up as incurable
Then I commenced using the D. D.
D. Remedy for eczema. The first ap-
plication stopped the horrible Itching
and gave me a nights sleep. 1t gave
me strength and new hope. I contin-
ued growing better every day. My
whole body being affected, l would
sometimes use the contents of one
whole bottle in a day.
Il kept up the treatment for months,
the eczema gradually leaving my body
and am now entirely cured excepting
little roughness of the skin on my
left ankle"

Knightstown, Ind, Nov. Sin ord
er to provide Knightstown with a re-

has been organized. The Knightstown
Banner published by Wallace Deem
has posed as a republican paper, but
has been SO antagonistic to the inter

as the result of the personal dislike of
Deem as to be repudiated by many
republican subscribers. The new pa

the public in short time. Although
a republican plant, no selfish purposes
will be subserved.

THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE GREET
REPUBLICAN cANDiDATE-cAM-
PAleN THE MOST STRENUOUS
HE HAS EVER MADE.

Shelbyville, Ind, Nov. 3.-James
E. Watson, formerly ended his cam
paign for governor here last night, his
44th birthday falling on the day the
political fight was ended. He spoke to
1900 persons, and half as many more,
who were unable to enter the opera
house, were addressed later in the
evening from the assembly rooms of
the Republican Voters Club.
In his principal speech Mr.. Watson
ironically sketched the career of w. J.
Bryan, saying the country needed
something more than a poet and a
dreamer as its guide, and then sum-
med up the state issues and the stand
he had taken with his party on county
unit local option.
No meeting addressed by the nomi-
nee during his speaking tour was more
enthusiastic and his closing speech
was frequently broken with cheers and
cries Of Jim; our Jim," and We'll
win with Watson"
Mr.. Watson's address here was the
last of many delivered yesterday. He
spoke previously to big crowds at
Brookville and then travelled by auto
mobile to Lawrenceburg. He left the
latter place late in the afternoon by
train and arrived here shortly before
o'clock. A crowd OF several hundred
persons was awaiting at the station.
Marehers Parade Streets.
Preceded by a band the committee
and speakers rode in automobiles to
the Ray hotel, where supper was serv-
ed. The crowds that had arrived in
Shelbyville during the afternoon were
augmented early in the evening by
scores from nearby towns, and shortly
before o'clock the republican county
and district organizations, several
bands and number of Taft and Wat
son clubs formed into line In front OF
the hotel. They were Joined by Mr.
Watson and his party and the march
ers paraded the principal streets for
half an hour to the accompaniment OF
cheers. Red fire was burned at regular
intervals along the line of march.
The parade ended at the opera
house, which already was comfortably
filled and those who had participated
| in the parade were unable to find
standing room. County Chairman
Sexton presided and introduced Mr.
Watson. The Old Shady Quartet sang
several selections. the audience joining

stepped to the platform he was greet.

quets Of red carnations. They were
given to the nominee by Miss Grace
Montgomery.
The speaker briefly outlined the
campaign, declaring it to be the mos,
strenuous he ever experienced. He ha,
spoken to 1900, 600 people in the aggre
gate since the first began. Since July
20. he has been in every county in the
state and found the situation peculiar
because of local conditions, where, II
some respects, party lines had beer
abandoned.
The presence Of veterans on thu
stage was acknowledged by the speak
er, who asked them If they woult
change any principles in the republican
platform They answered as with on,
