REASONS FOR DELAY IN
CONFEDERATE PENSIONS

Capt. w. ]. Stone, OF Lyon coun-
ty, pension agent under the Con-
federate pension act passed by the
last General Assembly, states that
1t will be some time before the g.
500 applications for pensions filed
with the department are all passed
upon.
Quite a number of the applica-
lions do not come within the law.
OF the number investigated, fifty
five per cent. come within the law,
twenty per cent. according to the
proof presented are disqualified and
the other twenty-five per cent have
not sufficient proof to justify the
applicants receiving pensions.
Capt. Stone stated that quite
few OF the county judges have been
careless in sending in pension
proofs, as a number of the applica-
tions do not state whether the APP
plicants are poor. or whether they
were honorably discharged ,ry,

BRAVE CRIPPLE GIVES
0.. HIS LIFE FOR ANOTHER

Gary, Ind, Oct. 19.-"I guess
I'm some good, after ALL"
Billy Rugh, the forty-oue-year-
old cripple whose withered leg was
amputated to save the life Of girl
in a skin-grafting operation in
hospital, spoke these words this
morning and then died. Pneumo-
MIA was said by the physicians to
have been the cause of death.
The ailmeht, however, resulted
directly from his self-sacrifice, hav-
ing been due to irritation of the
lungs by the ether that was given
him when his leg was cut off to
furnish skin for the body of per-
son whom he had never seen.
Rugh had no relatives and since
coming to Gary a tramp several
years ago, had made his living SELL
ing newspapers on the streets. He
had to be trusted for the first bun
die OF papers with which he started
business.
The girl, Miss Ethel Smith, for
whom he sacrificed his leg and la
ter his life. had been horribly burn
ed in a motorcycle accident. 1t Is
Just two days since her recovery

from the hospital in which Rugh
died.

taxpayers by his diligent work as a
member of the Committee.
Mr.. Johnson proved the utter fall
lacy of the most of Mr.. divers ar
gument along high protection lines;
showed how the consumer pays the
tariff tax in every instance. AS an
illustration he took the internal
revenue tax on whiskey. Everybody
knows that the internal revenue
tax on whiskey Is s1.1O gallon.
Everybody also knows that this
$1.1O is added onto the cost
of every gallon of whiskey
sold to the retailer, who sells the
stuff, either by the gallon, pint Or
drink, in proportion to what it cost
him. So at last the consumer pays
the tax. II y were not for this tax,
whiskey would sell as it used to
anywhere from 15c to Acc a gallon.
CMr. Johnson added by way Of pa
renthesis that he wished this tax
was IS a gallon, SO strongly is he
opposed to the liquor traffic.
II is the same way said the
speaker, with the tariff tax on all
family supplies-the consumer at
last pays the tax. The tariff pro-
tects nobody but the manufacturer.
The great heads of the big trusts
fix the prices on the different COM
modities used in every household.
That is the reason the farmer must
sell his supplies at "the market
price" which governs the sale of
hogs and cattle. There being as
vet no horse or mule trust, the buy
er and seller can fix the price. But
almost everything else - notably
The dry goods trade-is arbitrarily
governed by the prices fixed by the
trust controlling same.
Speaking of the Bull Moosers,
Mr.. Johnson said the Roosevelt
platform contained all the bad ia
ken from previous Republican doc
uments of like kind, and the good
from Democratic platforms. Mr..
Taft is simply standing pat" on
the rotten record of his party. He
would rather see the fortunes of the
rich augmented by his vetoes of
worthy Democratic bills than the
poor prosper by Democratic leg
lslation. The principles OF Demo-
crazy. said Mr.. Johnson, will never
die, whether they win out at the
polls this fall or not.
Mr.. Johnson's speech was highly
complimented on all sides, many
Republicans and Moosers giving 1t
their need OF praise. 1t dealt in
facts from the records, substantial
ed by the personal experience of
Mr.. Johnson in Congress, and not
alleged FUNNY anecdotes to support
exploded fallacies. Mr.. Johnson
was heartily congratulated at. the
close of his speech. He addressed
the voters at Fordsville yesterday.

Inaugurated During the
Present Camgaign.
WILSON NOT THE CANDIDATE
OF a Party, But of a People
Within Sight of Peace
And Prosperity.
BRINGING BACK OLD TIMES

The West has taken Woodrow
Wilson to its heart. The scenes
that have accompanied his recent
progress-in Denver. in Kansas
City, in St. Louis, in Chicago-have
hardly a parallel in American his
tory. He has seemed not to be the
candidate of party, but of a peO-
pie.
In these great cities Mr.. Wilson
has been received in a spirit OF hol-
iday rejoicing-as if the electoral
debate has been closed. The throngs
Unprecedented in multitude
have not cared for speechmaking,
because they have not needed to be
convinced.
Such signs OF gathering social
concord suggest that the country
is standing on the Threshold of a
new era OF good feeling"
There has been more than
enough of rancor and bitterness in
the CONFUSION that has shattered
the Republican party. But the tenn
per of the nation has recoiled from
all that. The Democratic standard
bearer has gone abroad through the
land. without a word of malice on
his tongue-preaching a gospel OF
political repentance and recovery,
OF Cancellation and construction. of
contagious good humor and good
cheer.
Woodrow Wilson is bringing the
nation within sight Of fair land of
peace and prosperity. With the
passing of election day We may ex-
pect TO enter upon new and spac-
ious time-a time in which we
shall be freer than this generation
has ever been from the wastes and
losses OF party strife and class
struggle, and shall have room and
breadth to build the cities and sub
due the earth.
The delicious period that is
known in history as the ERA OF
good feeling" was ushered in by the
election Of James Monroe to the
Presidency in 1916. 1t was pre-
coded by the breakup OF the Fed
eralist party-even as the Repub-
lican party has now broken up.
Monroe had 1873 votes in the
Electoral College, while his FEEDER
alist opponent, Rafus King. had
only "a. Four years later Monroe
was chosen again by national accla-
nation in an Electora College that
lacked one vote OF unaniETAOIN
lacked only one vote of unanimity.
The eight years of his administra-
ton We're all years Of healing and
mending-party lines We're utterly
effaced. The people united in vast
works of internal improvement, in
the State-making migrations to the
new West, and in the laying of the
foundations of that stupendous
structure of industry and commerce
which was the worldwonder of the
nineteenth century.
We have come to the beginning
OF such another time. Not since
the days of James Monroe has any
man approached Presidential
election with such omens of uni
versal approval as those that now
attend the steps of Woodrow Will
son.-[New York American.

NOVEMBER z
ESPECIAL DAY
Set Aside for the Cause
of Democracy.
DEMOCRATS ALL OVER NATION
To Hold Meetings of Con-
sultatiOn and Counsel
On that Day.
A MESSAGE FROM GOV. WILSON


A special message from Woodrow
Wilson will be read at meetings of
Democrats at county seats through
out the State November 2. Not
only will rallies be held in each of
the county seats on that date, but
throughout the country as well, the
National Committee, as in the case
of the conference of Democratic ed
itors of Kentucky, again acting
upon the suggestion OF ]. n. Cam
den, chairman of the Democratic
Campaign Committee OF Kentucky.
A telegram dealing with plans for
the final rally of the campaign
throughout the country was receiv-
ed by Mr.. Camden from w. G.. Nc
Adoo, vice chairman OF the Demo-
cratic National Committee, Friday.
1t follows:
Referring to my previous tele-
grams about Wilson Day, the Dem
ocratic National Committee has de-
cided to designate November 2 in
stead of October 81 as Wilson and
Marshall Day and to request the
Democratic organization in each
State of the Union to hold as many
meetings as possible in each State
on the afternoon and evening of
that day at which an original and
special message from our great
leader. Gov. Woodrow Wilson. will
be read.
'All arrangements within your
State are left entirely in the hands
of State Committees, National
committeeman are requested to CO.
operate with the State chairman.
Whatever regular meetings you are
arranging for the afternoon and
night Of November 2 should pro-
coed just the same and Gov. Will
sons message can be read at such
meetings, but the committee sug-
gests that you have the Democrats
assemble on same day at as many
other places within your State as
possible. even if they come together
Informally for the purpose OF re-
ceiving this special message from
Gov. Wilson.
1T will be an inspiring thing TO
assemble or mobilize as far as pos
sible the hosts of Democrats on No
vember to hear Gov. Wilson's
message and to concert measures
for bringing ont on election day the
largest possible Democratic vote.
The response we have received
throughout the country has been
most favorable. We believe that
Wilson and Marshall Day can be
made a great and inspiring feature
of this campaign. Gov. Wilson's
message will be sent to you in am
pie time to have you forward II to
every meeting which may be ar
ranged in your State. Please do
all that you can to give this the
widest publicity and to make Will
son and Marshall Day great sue
cess. While the National Commit
tee can do little more than offer
suggestions, you NAV be sure OF our
hearty cooperation"
