INDEPENDENT VOTERS.

By studying the political trend Of
our country the unbiased observer will
readily admit that people are adhering
more and more to independence in vo-
ting. The day Of the dyed-in-t -the-wool
partisan is passing. Principle has be-
come paramount to party, and the day
of clinging to party regardless of its
platform and the issues it promulgates
is passing into history Indications
point to a time when party lines will
be extinct, and the masses will consid-
er political questions only from a
standpoint of merit.
AS evidence that the independent
ballot is making rapid strides toward
prodominence, the reversal of senti-
ment in recent congressional elections
and the exchange of parties in guber-
Material countests are called in uues-
tion.
Harmon was not elected governor of
Ohio by democratic votes. Ohio is a
republican state. 1t was not the dem
ocratic party that triumphed in that
election, but the principles to which
Harman adhered. The independent
voters did the electing.
Marshall was not elected governor of
Indiana simply as democrat. AS a
rule, that state is republican by safe
plurality. The facts are that the in
dependent voters repudiated the party
in power in that state and supported
the principles which Marshall cham
pioned.
The election of Foss into Congress
from the fourteenth congressional dis
trict of Massachusetts, cannot be con-
sidered democratic victory. That
district re-to-fore had republican
majority of $4,000, Foss was elected
by the independant voters. and his
election was not so much an endorse
ment of his views on the tariff ques-
tion as it was rebuke to the republi-
cans for foisting the recent tariff bill
upon the people.
The Independent voters hold the bal
ance of power in Greater New York
So it is in many States and Congress
ional districts. The tendency to fol-
low the old parties along all their
is rapidly waning. The
effect throughout the country will be
salutory. The result will be purer,
cleaner men in Office and better gov

PASSING OF THE SALOON
Anniversary of the Event in
Tennessee on July 3.

The AntiSaloon League and the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union
have united in a plan for the observ-
ance of Sunday, July 3rd, 1910, as the
anniversary of the passing of the Ie-
galized saloon from Tennessee
These two organizations have been
earnestly engaged for many years in
the effort to rid the. state of the liquor
traffic. And they think this first an
niyersary fitting occasion to be OBJ
served as day of thanksgiving, for
past victories; as day of prayer for
the continued success of the temper
ance movement; and as a day of pre-
paration and encouragement for the
conflicts that lie ahead. So they are
asking the pastors of the churches of
every denomination over the state to
lead in arranging for suitable services
in their churches or communities on
that day. They maintain that the
law is we'll enforced in most of the
smaller towns of the state. That the
reason it has not been properly en-
forced in the cities of Tennessee is
that. there has been determined pur-
pose on the part of those in power
that it shall not be enforced in the
hope of thus bringing discredit on the
law, and securing its repeal. That
when men in favor of the law are
elected, as they will be some time,
the law will be enforced in the cities
as it is in tens of thousands of other
places in the United States. So they
are further urging that the pastors
will preach on the subject of law en-
forcement, and the necessity of elect
ing men to office who are in favor OF
the law and its enforcement.
The conflict is still on, say they, the
issue now being to save the prohibit
tory law and make it effective. There
fore they urge that no compromise be
made with the people who are fighting
the law but that the warfare be con-
tinued until men are elected who will
see that the law is properly enforced
and the victory complete.
The pastors over the state have hith-
erto co-operated with every move of
this kind, and will doubtless unite in
the effort to observe the first anniver-
sary of prohibition in Tennessee and
use their influence in the continuation
Of the fight

The story goes that the little child
who found it, passed it to one who be-
came convert to the Christian faith.
He failed to have the letter published.
He kept it, however. as sacred me-
mento of Christ and it passed down to
different generations of his family for
more than one thousand years.
During this period the family suffer
ed repeated misfortunes, migrated to
different countries. until finally one of
them came to America, bringing the
letter with them. They settled in
Virginia, then moved further south,
still followed by misfortune when fin
ally the last member, a daughter, ap-
preached her death bed and called a
neighbor, Mrs. Thompson, giving her
the letter and related it's history for
more than a thousand years. The
Thompson woman began the attempt
to have it published and it first ap-
peared in the Rome, Ga, Tribune on
Oct. 81, 1891. 1t then appeared in
the Dalton, Ga, Citizen and Mrs.
Workman, now living in Marion, Ind,
clipped it and kept it her possession
for many years without an effort to
have it published. She was followed
by misfortune which she attributed to
her neglect in trying to have the let
ter published.
Mrs. Ruby Crutchfeld, of Traza-
want, Tenn, is also said to have had
a copy and failed to make an effort to
have it published for three years, and
was followed by a varied lot of misfor-
tunes which she attributed to the fact
of her neglect in this respect.

JOHN HUSCH KILLED.
Struck by Timber when Wind
mill is Lowered.

John Husch, prominent farmer
of Rendsville township, was fatally
injured by being struck by a timber
while windmill was being lowered
on his farm on Tuesday afternoon.
and died from the injury Wednesday
morning.
Mr.. Husch was having Dan Lawler
put up new windmill on his farm,
and it was while the old tower was
being lowered that the accident oc-
Cured. To lower the old tower, it is
loosened from the ancher posts on
two sides and tipped over, the weight
being carried and the tower gradually
lowered by block and tackle. The
rope is allowed to run over couple
of timbers placed together crossways,
and these timbers carry greater
weight as the tower nears the ground.
While this was being done, Mr.. Husch
came over to watch the operation just
as the tower was nearing the ground.
One of the timbers began to crack,
and Mr.. Husch spoke of it and stepped
nearer. Mr.. Lawler stepped over
to straighten the timber but just then
it broke and struck Mr.. Husch a
terrible blow on the head, knocking
him senseless. He was Immediately
given attention, and medical assist
ance sent for. He never regained
consciousness, however, except to
murmur about his injuries, and died
the next morning.
Mrs. Husch, who is the third daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Hildebrandt
to be left widow, has the heartfelt
sympathy of many friends and neigh
bors in the great sorrow which came
to her so suddenly.
John Husch was born in Germany
43 years ogo. He came to America 20
years ago, coming directly to this
county, where he worked for different
farmers for d number of years. In
1897 he bought the farm where he has
made his home in RendsvilIe, ,Rand in
July of that year was married to Miss
Emma Louise Hildebrandt, eldest
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Hide
brandt. Besides his wife, the surviv-
ing relatives are his half brother,
Christ Eul, of this city, and brother
and sister, and half brother and half
sister in the old country.
The funeral will be held from AS
sumption church at ten O'Clock this
forenoon.

derstand it, A minutes thought ought

is a losing proposition.

ON THE DIAMOND
27. to 3.

The mystery of Sunday base ball or
/ who tied Chokio to the Comet. Last
Sunday the Morris Independents jour-
neyed to Chokio and pulled off a swat
fest. The game started nicely. Ga
briel, who was on the mound for
Chokio, struck out the first two men
up but Andresick managed to get in
the way of one and took first, stole
second and scored on an over throw
In Chokio's half of the 1st, they could
not get the ball out of the diamond
and it was case of one, two, three.
Morris scored once in the second and
again Chokio was BANKED. Morris
could do nothing in their half of the
third but Chokio came up strong and
with the aid of an error or two and a
home run by P. Lee pushed scores
over, but that was all they could get
during the game.
In the fourth Morris came in strong
and with two hits and base on balls
got three. Three more in the fifth
and one in the sixth gave them nine
in all with which to start the seventh
and it was here that the fun COM
menced and eleven hits and two hit
by pitched balls gave Morris Is runs
or 25 in all. The eighth was unevent-
full as the boys decided 25 was enough.
and when the first of the ninth come
Chokio thought that they had enough
and it was decided to leave that in
ming to be played later. Bloom for
Morris pitched great ball, getting six
strike outs and allowing but four hits.
Next Sunday the Independents go
to Hancock to play.

if he met it in the road. Here is where
the newspaper ad. scores over bills.
Let the average man get an envelope
out of the Office or box and on opening
it finds it bill and he will wad it up
and throw it away. The wisdom of
his doing so is apparent. If it does
reach the house perhaps not more
than one member of the family reads
the cumbersome thing until it is de-
stroyed. How about the newspaper?
It would be sorry day for any hubby,
on getting it out of the Office or box
to wad it up and throw it away. In
fact he wouldn't have disposition to
do so. He takes it home, reads the
news and the ads meet his every gaze.
He can't get away from them. He
reads them purposely or inadvertent-
lY. Then the wife, the girls and boys,
the hired help in their turn.
But why say more. The newspaper
advertising costs less and brings far
greater results. 1t is the dignified
way of getting your wants before the
people. Any other way is not.
