MEN AND RELIGION

Two Centers

there will be a large number of
automobile street meetings. During
the week speakers will visit Goshen,

meetings will be conducted for men.
On Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock
a series of mass meetings for men
will be, held all the way from Ken
dallville to Laporte. Fred B. Smith
will speak at the time In the Oliver
Opera House in South Bend.
This men and religious movement
is in no sense similar to the old
fashioned evangelistie campaign. It's
message is adopted to the condi-
tions of today. Methods and prin-
ciples of boys work. the call to the
church for social service in the COM
munity, an appeal for the study Of
the bible and the adoption of the
teachings of Christ to the present
day. needs of men. will be themes
used by the speakers all through the
campaign. 1t is expected that these
messages will be listened to by the
greatest number of men and boys
that have ever assembled for similar
purposes in northern Indiana.

One new man has been added to
the office of the state superintend-
ent of public instruction.
The democratic legislature did not
increase the salaries of any of the
state officials or employees. This
would have been too plain a case of
going back on promises but they
made up for it by creating new
clerkships and ether places.
When you ask any of the demo
cratic politicians about this matter
they can only point out that the
legislature cut something like $780,
900 off the budget for the main
tainance of the state institutions.
But they do not like to be remind
ed that while this is true the super

This is Poor Showing.

A good many people think it is a
poor kind of economy for the demo-
Gratis TO reduce the appropriation for
the maintenance of the state insti-
tutions to make it possible 10 give
political jobs to a large number of
other democrats in the state house.
There is no doubt that this con-
dition of affairs will become one of
the live issues in the t)milsy cam
paign, for if there is anything that
will appeal to the taxpayer it is to
have it pointed out to him that ex-
penses have been increased. Fur
Their evidence of the condition under
the democratic administration is
found In the fact that the state
board of finance has spent every
available dollar of the state 5 money.
and that it has on two or three oc-
easlons been necessary for the beard
to call on the county treasurars of
the various counties in the state to
send in advance payments OF money
that will be due to the state from
tax collection. 1t was only this
month that a call of this kind was
sent out. and the county treasurers
sent in something like $4,000. The
state had to have the money. If it
had not received it in this way the
~egular monthly bills of the state
could not have been paid. Not only
that. but the board found it neces-
sary last year to use up nearly
100000 of the state sinking fund.
All of these things are being run
down by the republicans. and it is
said that they will have everything
in shape to attack the democrats on
the Question Of extravaeance at the
opening Of the coming campaign.

SEES IDAHO
Wakes Stops at PocateIIo. CaId-
we'll and Boise.
oliticaI Situation in This State Is
Favorable to Taft's Re-
nomination.

Boise, Idaho, Oct. THE thirteenth
state on the itinerary of the raft spe-
cial has been passed. The president
made three scheduled stops in Idaho,
at Pocatello, Caldwell and Boise. but
he made nearly dozen short rear end
platform speeches at smaller towns
along the route.
The political situation in Idaho
seems favorable to Mr.. Taft's renom-
ination. Though the percentage Of IL
surgency, as Individual creed among
the voters, is high yet the insurgent
politicians have found no leader and
there is no prospect practically Of any
concerted opposition to Mr.. Taft be-
fore next spring. Senator Borah, who
seems to be the only man to whom the
progressives could look for sucL lead
ership, is playing the same game at
home out here that he played in the
senate. He is holding aloof and fol,
lowing the iines of his own peculiar
and enectlVe prOgresslyeness AS a
matter of political expediency he
seems 70 be leaning toward Mir. Taft
for the nomiLation if he is leaning
any way at all.
The president in his speeches in
Idaho devoted most Of his attention to
the conduct Of the interior depart
ment, which is the arm Of the govern
ment most intimately connected with
the people OF this section OF the coun-
try, swhere the administration and dis
position Of the public domain is so i'm
rortant question. He has used every
opportunity to sing the praises of his
new progressive secretary CT the in
terior, Walter l.. Fisher of Chicago

Field Examiners Expensive.

But it is in the field examiners
that the democrats find the greatest
item of expense. True, these men do
not get their pay directly from the
state treasury, but their pay comes
out Of the pockets Of the taxpayers,
just the same. They get $40 day.
and the board has had go Of them at
work all the time. This makes the
total cost for their salaries $500 a
day, or $4,000 a year. The clerks
salaries amount to $4,000 a month,
making a. total of. more than $4,000
month, that this department is
costing IN salaries alone.
1t is said, too, that the board will
shortly increase the number 'of field
examiners to 100, thus adding $3.50
| a day more to the expense. This will
make total of more than 81 900 q
day that this department will cost
the taxpayers.
Then the department of inspection
was created by the last democratic
legislature, and it is costing $500 "a
month to run it. Four new mer
have been. added to the Office force
