BY THEIR WORKS. KNOW THEM


Senator Shively's record in the last
five years in the United States senate
should be sufficient reason for his re-
election. IT was he who exposed the
joker in the maximum and minimum
clause Of the Payne Aldrich bill and
OF the bill. He led the fight in the
senate that ended the forty-year fur
seal scandal in our Alaskan waters.
He led the fight in a republican SEN
ate against a ship-Su bsidy bill 10 two
tie votes and compelled ex-Sen. Bever-
idge TO reverse his record on ship sub
sidy. He lined up the opponents of
that measure, and retrenched the OPP
position so solidly that the measure
has never since been revived in either
house. He wrote the most important
schedules of the Underwood tariff bill.
and fought until they. were finally en-
acted into law. and he has written
over twenty peace treaties which have
been adopted by the greatest powers
in the world, and which assures our
future peace with these nations. He
has served on forty-nine conference
committees which surpasses the record
OF any other man in the senate.
Congressman Henry A. Barnhart's
record has been equally creditable. He
worked and voted for the Underwood
tariff bill. He was one of the lead
ers who secured the passage of bank
ing and currency law; he spoke and
voted for the Clayton antitrust bill
which will give small business a
chance; he has introduced a bill to
reform abuses in the government
printing office. which will save al
most a million dollars a year to the
taxpayers of this country, and has
always advocated liberal pension legis-
lation. aiding thousands Of old soldiers
in securing increased pensions which
they deserved. He has always been
active and has attended to the needs
Of his constituents regardless of their
politics.

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY

{ ploy him TO influence public opinion
in other lands.
Not even the keeuest of modern
observers and thinkers has yet estj-
mated the effect of a quarter Of a CEN
fury of press agency in the develop
ment of our civilization. The early
press agents worked chiefly in the in
terest Of the theater, and many OF
them were successful in creating pop
ular illusions in regard to the stars
who paid them salaries. OF late years
they have undertaken to boom" (the
word is of their own cOinage) authors
as we'll as actors-a far more difficult
task than the first named. The pub
lie cares but little for the personality
OF the poet or novelist and yawns over
descriptions of their dainty flats"
and the charming manner in which
they, entertain their brilliant circle Of
friends on Sunday evening. But the
same Information concerning a popu-
lar actress quickens the pulse and
causes the heart to beat tempestuously.
One thing has been accomplished by
press agency. Ii has wiped out the
line OF demarkation between actual
achievement and a mendacioUs print
ed account of achievement. There is
all the difference in the world between
the two-New York Herald

ABOUT STATE FINANCES.

The republicans have been grossly
! disappearing the facts about tax
alton for the state government. The
facts are simple and easily understood.
The legislature of 1913 increased the
state tax levy for the educational and
benevolent institutions. For years
both OF these funds have been notori-
! ously inadequate to meet the demands
OF the institutions supported by them.
The educational Institutions fund
was established in 1897 for the sup
port OF Purdue and Indiana universi-
ties. and the state normal school.
when the enrolment Of these schools
numbered S.O9S and the tax rate was
1.66 2-3 cents
In 1903. when the enrolment of
these schools numbered APIS students.
the rate was increased to 275 cents.
and this rate remained until 1913. at
which time the enrolment Of students
numbered 7.4SS.
The rate was then fixed at seven
cents for 1914 and 1915. and out Of
the money provided by this levy. the
educational institutions must pay all
of their maintenance charges and the
cost OF new buildings and equipment
OF every. kind
The higher state institutions o.
learning have been meagerly supplied
with funds for their support as COM
pared with the incomes Of correspond
ing institutions in our neighboring
states
Ranking fifth in population, and
seventh in wealth, Indiana stood at
the foot OF the list Of ten states in the
centra' west in the income provided
for its two state universities and state
normal. Under the OLD system the
tax rate would yield $4,000. about
one-hslf Of the necessary funds re
q ired for the successful administra-
ton Of the Institutions and the bal
ance. about 100000. was taken from
the general fund. which made il nee
essary to d-aw continually upon fu-
ture revenues.

STOPPING 1HE ROAD HOGS.

The wife of an automobile owner
said a few days ago. that she did not
enjoy driving behind her husband as
we'll as she used TO when machines
were less numerous. He is a careful,
prudent man, who runs at moderate
speed.

machine a good wide BERTH" the lady
went on. the other fellow usually
keeps right along in the middle OF the

This is so irritating that many men
will not turn until the last possible
moment. Then a slight miscalcula-

Would you do away with the fed

Would you open a pipe line between
Wall street and the white house as
when Roosevelt was president?
Would you re-enact the Payne-AId-
rich tariff law?
You would like to do these things
for the big interests but you wouldn't
dare to do any of them because the
people wouldn't let you.
You dare not attack the policies Of

II the system practiced by the state
house republicans had been followed
by the present administration. the
sinking fund would have been trans
ferred TO the general fund; there
would have been no need for temper
airy loans TO be made by the democrat
&c administrations; and there would
have been no payments made on the
state debt But the democratic ad-
ministratiOn preferred TO provide a
system for transacting the affairs Of
the state in a business like way.
One-third Of the total tax levy col
lected is for common school tuition.

is Immediately distributed per capita
TO all the counties according TO the
enumeration OF school children in
each county. The reduction in the
tax rate for state revenue or general
fund. known as the political fund, out
OF which all the salaries and current
expenses are paid, will be $4,000
per year for the years 1914 and 1915.

The Republican is informed that
Conductor Ed Kelsey is considering
the matter of filing a libel suit against
the Register. Recently that paper in
giving an account of the Barnes circus
wreck at Mound City, stated that some
balloons escaped and that after they
were captured Mr. Kelsey was locked
up by mistake with the balloons. The
insinuation that Mr.. Kelsey had the
appearance of a baboOn is not taken
as a joke, and it is said a suit for dam
ages may result.
