The Chronicle Explains

The editor of the Chronicle tries
TO justify his cause in assisting to
~lect the Democratic ticket and of
course rings in the old chestnut he
has used so often that the editor of
the Tribune is not a Republican.
lie cannot conceive how any one can
De a Republican unless there is
money IN it. He does not seem to
know that hundreds Of men have
sacrificed money and position for
principle and that such men still live
on this earth. The editor of the
Tribune is a Republican because he
believes the principles of that party
have been and are now better for
he masses of people in this country
than those of any other party. When
he. thinks any other party is better
he viii say so without asking wheth-
ar or not it will pay him.

MURDERER Of
ORPHAN BOY
SEEN HERE
MOSES RICHER SENTENCED TO
LIFE IMPRISONMENT TAKEN
TO NORTH PRISON BY FIT.
WAYNE OFFICER
Spend Several Hours in Plymouth
Changed Cars-Cruelly Disfgur-
ed and Finally Killed

The perpetuator of one Of the most
cruel murders, ever committed in the
state Of Indiana, was in Plymouth
for several hours Monday enroute to
Michigan City, where he will begin
his term of life imprisonment, 50
justly deserved. The murderer is
Moses Richer age "a, who lived north
of Ft. Wayne, and he was in the Gus
tody of Aron Reichenderfer, sheriff
of Allen County. Richer was convict
ed of cruelty maltreating and finally
numbering a twelve year old, orphan
boy who was in his custody, working
for him on his farm. In fits Of pas
sionate anger, Richter subjected the
lad to inhuman treatment. Pieces
of flesh were bitten from the face,
and arms of the boy, by the unnatar-
al employer. At one time he was
pushed against hot stove and held
there, until the smell Of burning
flesh satisfied the passion Of his
tormentor. Several of the fingers
were torn from the hands Of the boy
he had been beaten with clubs, whips
and in general subjected to tortures
attributed to pagan emperors. Fin
ally, death took the boy from his
tormentor when the latter, seized
him, and hurled him against the side
of barn, resulting in concussion Of
the brain. With the death of fhe
boy, an investigation was started by
neighbors, with the horrible revela-
ton which secured rapid conviction
of murder, against Richer.
While in Plymouth Monday the pri-
soner was accommodation, and
seemed in a greatly detected mood.
He was too miserable to speak and
when he left the Jail here, he nodded
to Mrs. Voreis, and moved as in a
horrible dream. His defence in the
trial was temporary insanity.

what One socialist win DO.

Victor Berger the only Socialist
ever elected to congress bears his
honors modestly, and does not ex-
pect TO overturn the house which of
late was Joseph's. But some of his
kind are not so modest. A Socialist
plumber Of Reading, Pa, has been
elected to the legislature, and he an
nOunees that he intends to raise the
devil. He will find when he reaches
Harrisburg that there is not much
in that line left to do. The last two
or three legislatures Of Pennsylvania
did about as fine a job Of that sort
as ever was done outside of Illinois.
However being plumber helps
some in that particular task. Chiea-

THANKSGIVING PRocLAMA- =
TION >

t* =
The never-ending procession of the
seasons has brought the people of In
diana again to their harvest home.
The common parent of us all has
poured from her lap the corn and
wine and oil of fertile fields and fruit
full vineyards. Perhaps her children
have been more greedy than generous
and the divine destiny of man may
yet be afar off. Systems of govern
ment and human distribution of the
products of the sunshine and rain
still remain imperfect. AS yet we see
our brother through glass darkly,
yet more clearly with the passing
years. All the. order Of our lives
changes from day to day, but one
thing remains eternally the same
the gracious goodness of God hath
failed us never in seed time nor in
ganered grain.
1t Is meet that Indiana bows again
her forehead to the ground and rever
emily acknowledges that He is good
and that His mercy endureth. Let us
remember that it is the spirit of
brotherhood and not whole-burnt of
ferings which He desires, Let him
that hath an abundance consider his
stewardship, aud him that hath less
trust Him who noteth the sparrow's
fall.
And to the end that all may renew
their allegiance and give thanks to
our country's God, in conformity
with state and national usage, /.
Thomas R. Marshall, Governor of the
state of Indiana, do recommend that
upon Thursday, Nov. "a, 1910, the
day by law and custom set apart as
Thanksgiving day, the people of In
diana intellectually thank Him for
that he hath not so far dealt thus
with any people.
In testimony whereof, ! have here
unto set my hand and caused to be
affixed the great seal of the state
of Indiana, at the Capitol in this
city of Indianapolis this 10th day of
November, in the year of grace nine
teen hundred ten, and of the indie
pendence of the United States the
one hundred and thirty-ffth.

it is not designed in any way to pre-
lent negroes as a class from voting

The Legislative program now EN-
races four highly important meas
