Wise Maud is raking dollars.

pointing to the Richmond Item as a
republican paper" and quoting that
delectable journal to the effect that
the republican state committee has
withdrawn James E. Watson from the
stump and ordered him to make no
more speeches in Indiana" If the
Hoosier democracy is to gain any sort
of comfort from so bogus a represent
tation, 1t should be allowed full en-
joyment thereof while the delusion
endures. For the awakening will be
rude. 1t need hardly be said that in
due and proper season Mr.. Watson
Will begin one of the most rousing
campaigns in the annals OF Indianas
political history. The fact is, of
course, that Mr.. Watson is not making
speeches at present because the time
for the opening of the campaign has
not arrived. He will be heard in time,
however. and that he will figure con-
spicuously in the campaign goes with
out saying. The statement that the
republican committee would withhold
one of its best cards is a yarn whose
imbecilic falsity is remarkably surpris-

OBITUARY..

Caroline, daughter of Joseph and
Martha Boyd Lewis, was born near
Williamsburg, Indiana, March % 1927,
and passed to her rest July 2, 1908,
having reached the age of eighty-one
years, three months and ten days.
She was married in 1850 to Henry
Stigleman, and to them was granted a
companionship of almost fifty-three
years, ended by the death of her hus-
band five years before her own.
Mrs. Stigleman possessed unusual
traits of character, sympathetic to an
unusual degree, eager to relieve suf-
fering wherever she found it, her in
fiuence for good was felt wherever
her wide acquaintance reached.
Conscientious adherence to truth
was one of her strongest characteris-
tics. In her earlier years she was
noted for her punctiliousness in stat
ing a matter exactly as 1t was and this
love of the strictly true and fair never
grew less.
Always she gave evidence of a re-
ligious turn of thought and as time
went on that disposition intensified.
In 1881 she with her husband united
with the Baptist church and as long
as health permitted was a faithful at
tendant at its services. Her love for
the church and attachment for its
members was most marked.
AS wife and mother no one was
more devoted and faithful to every
~c o.. l.
dren she instilled into them high and
refined ideals and this seed so faith
fully sown fell into responsive soil.
Her home was one among earth's
pleasant plans, full of hospitality,
magnetic with her warm friendship.
breathing of art, vibrant with music,
inspired by her true insight and genial
sense Of humor. 1t is feeling of dis
tinct loss that we realize that this
rare old home can be known but little
longer.
Through all the changes and devel-
opments Of her long span of life she
kept abreast with the times and has
ing duties. During her protracted
helplessness her interests in life con-
tinued. She was happily able to con-
tinue her life habit or reading and to
the end kept well informed as to the
worlds doings and especially was
deeply interested in our own national
issues.
Her seige of paralysis was solaced
by a care taking which seems almost
unparalleled in skill and patient love-
1t is remembered that through the
entire period of sixteen months the
sufferer was not known to utter one
murmur of repining while slowly
wearing to the end of her peaceful and
blessed life.
One son and three daughters sur
vive-William, Mrs. Addie Jones, Miss
Flora Stigleman and Mrs. Olive Wild
man. Also two grandchildren Percy
Jones and Mary Wildman.

APPEAL
VERY EFFECTIVE
Delinquent Personal Tax Pay
erS Heed Call of Treas
urer Myrick.
THEY FEAR PROSECUTION.
THOSE WHO PERSisTENTLY RE-
FUSE TO PAY THEIR BACK TAX
ES HAVE TO PAY PENALTY FOR
THEIR REFUSAL.

If any doubt exists as to the effect
of the personal letters sent out by
the county treasurer to the delin-
quent personal tax debtors of the
county it will be dispelled by visit
to the court house. They're coming
in lively and will keep on coming for a
good WHILE" said Treasurer Myrick
So Mr.. Personal Tax Delinquent, it is
up to you. If you do not pay, the
prosecutor will get you and then you
not only will have to pay that tax,
but pay fine in addition.
The present returns are in response
to the first letters sent out by the
alphabetically and the first ones mott
fed were instructed to call and pay by
August l. AS the lower end of the
list was reached the time was extend
ed because of the later time of Motif
cation. The county treasurer is act
ing under instructions from the state
tax commissioners and will see that
this county makes prompt returns and
in as large proportion as possible.
If payment is not made by the time
specified in the notices, the names of
remaining delinquents will be placed
in the hands of a collector, He will
be empowered to make all collections
and issue receipts. Upon the refusal
OF the delinquent to pay the collector,
who will be serving as a deputy treas
urer, the prosecuting attorney will be
called upon. The law empowers the
county to conflscate property upon re-
fusal to pay the tax. The penalty In
fines amounts to $12 in excess of the
amount of tax due and failure to pay
tax and fine is punishable by a jail
sentence the same as in the case of
a misdemeanor

BISHOP POTTER.

In4&he death of Bishop Potter. the
Protestant Episcopal church in Amer.
lea loses a most conspicuous figure.
Bishop Potter represented a type
which is too infreouent unfortunately
He was man of brilliant mind. of a
wonderful skill in pulpit oratory; but
his claim to distinction does not rest
on that. His sympathy with all move.
ments for the betterment of the all
classes OF the country is his best
monument. That he came in for criti.
cism many times is due to a misun.
derstanding of his motives, which
were always the highest. A typical
example of this misunderstanding was
that OF the Subway Cafe" Bishop
Potter's stand on the divorce question
had an influence in New York which
would be hard to estimate. It is a
matter of common knowledge that the
position of Bishop in the Episcopal
church is one Of the most trying-so
much so that Phillips Brooks died af-
ter year of it and that at the pres.
ent time there is more than one

tration. But the opportunities for
helping mankind are so great in this
office that many man has given I'D
personal comfort and ambition for the
chance to help the people.
In such a position it may truthfullv
be said that Bishop Potter has always
labored hard-set aside personal am.
billions and unfalteringly proceeded in
the cause of Christianity.
1t is by such men as Bishop Potter,
men OF large heart and great brain
with large views of life that the Pro-
testant Episcopal church in America
although the eleventh in numerical
strength has welded so much influ-
ence in the betterment of the world.

Kinley. In 1900 Bryan had 155 to 292
votes to 336 for Roosevelt. With such
declining market as 176, 155 and 140,
where does Bryan, twice defeated, and
for the third time candidate, base his
hopes of winning? In 1896 McKinley's
plurality of the popular vote was
1889, and in 1900 it was 949, 100,
while in 1904 Rooseyelt's plurality ran
up to 2.545.515. With such a record
against the democratic candidates, he
must be a man of courage who insists
that his party must make a third eff.
fort under his leadership to break
through the republican line of battle
The states that went for Roosevelt
will go for Taft, and although Bryan
may think he has a fighting chance
in New York. Indiana and Ohio. he
will find when the battle is over that
the people do not care to intrust the
administration of government to his
hands. OF course he would like to
be president, but he has found the
candidate business quite profitable,
and he will pursue it to the end, I'M
less his party rises in rebellion and
drives him out. His success at Den
yer in securing for himself the honor
and emoluments of the nomination
gives small hopes that the party can
unload him.
